Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 246

Episode 246 The birth of Yeomra (??) (6)

“…the secret room of the Lord of Iron Blood Castle.”

Madness blazed in Hong Sanja’s eyes.

“I remember. “They said that the lust-crazed old man took a concubine three years ago.”

“I heard you cherish it a lot.”

“It has to be that way. “Isn’t she a young girl, only a third of my age?”

“haha.”

Gwangsanja (???), who had been laughing heartily, frowned at a sudden thought.

“But is this information trustworthy?”

“This is information with Hao Wen’s seal. “They may be stinking garbage, but their information power is not inferior to that of openness.”

“In the end, it’s true.”

“yes.”

“What kind of arrogant bastard would call Jang Mun-in to Uichang?”

Even Hong Sanja couldn’t figure out that far. This is because the identity of the kidnappers was not stated in the letter.

“At least it’s not the Uicheonmaeng side.”

A robber knows better. If they were a member of the Uicheon Alliance, they would have moved only for Jaffa’s rights and would not have announced their intention to hand it over.

“It’s definitely not a demonic religion… Could it be an iron-blooded castle?”

“We can’t rule out that possibility.”

Although he said so, Hong Sanja thought that the probability of being iron-blooded was more than five percent.

Perhaps his wife may have had someone kidnap him. From the wife’s point of view, it would be difficult to describe the existence of a beautiful concubine as a thorn in her eyes.

Originally, more than half of the incidents taking place in Gangho were about infidelity, so it was convincing enough.

“It just so happens that Hubei is just one county away. “It’s not a very far distance, and I’ve roughly taken care of the work, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go there.”

The miner’s eyes narrowed.

“If by any chance this is someone’s trap….”

“It won’t be like that.”

Hong Sanja put the letter in his arms.

“The reason why Haomun’s scum has been able to maintain its organization until now is because of trust. It’s the same for Nokrimchae and Surochae. “They’re not worth talking to, let alone condescending to, but at least they don’t play around with things like this.”

In fact, he had dealt with Hao Wen several times. This is because it was not possible to ask for the cooperation of Gong Gae, who was also a member of the Uicheon League, in driving out the teacher.

Hong Sanja, who was lost in thought for a moment, stood up.

“The plum blossom swordsman (????) sings the song.”

“I will go with you too.”

“Shouldn’t you see for yourself how things work here?”

“You know, right? All of my students are smart guys. Besides, there is a rescuer, so nothing major will happen.”

Hong Sanja nodded.

“Good. “You go too.”

It wasn’t because he was a priest, but the miner was quite a smart guy. At least you won’t have to avoid anything by going together.

Hong Sanja grinned.

“She’s the concubine of the Iron Blood Lord… This is getting hot again.”

If done well, it could be an opportunity to properly spread the name of Hwasan.

* * *

“Habaek Suchae?”

“That’s right.”

Emperor Wen’s eyes lit up.

“Isn’t the River Baek Suchae ranked higher among the thirty-six Changjiang Chichaes?”

Sagok, the chaeju of Yongahchae (???), bowed his head.

“It is one rank higher than the main building. Although it is the general bond stock that dominates the Yangtze River, the Habaek bond stock is the best in terms of experience. That’s how clearly he sees people.”

Munhwang had also vaguely heard about Yangyu, the chaeju of Habaeksuchae.

‘Did you say he was a river dragon swordsman?’

I don’t know who he studied with, but I heard he was a martial artist who could easily be called a master. In particular, he was a water spirit who was said to be a water expert who was within three fingers of a water bowl and could take on even a top expert on a ship.

‘A person of that caliber is trustworthy.’

To think that they have no loyalty or even the slightest morals just because they are outnumbered is to ignore them too much.

The men of Yangtze River were all full of courage and resourcefulness. Although he craves freedom more than anyone else, he absolutely obeys orders. The best among them is Yang Yu, so he will be able to detain the kidnappers as long as he can.

‘Of course it will be difficult.’

Among the kidnappers is Chojeoljeong Gosu. In the worst case, it could be two.

It may be possible to hold on to some extent with ghost-like craftsmanship, but there will be limits.

So I had to speed up. If you’re not careful, you may miss out on all the fish you caught.

“I will check again. The ship of Yang Yu, the owner of Habaeksuchae, left a day ago and was loaded with a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage. And the destination for the kidnappers is Uichang, Hubuk. Is that right?”

“Exactly. All transactions of water bonds are passed on to general creditors. “The general creditor said so, so it must be true.”

“Okay. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It was nothing. “Are the crew members okay?”

The members of the Mukpung corps were all sprawled out on the deck. It was worth it since I followed Munhwang all the way here without stopping. It was a truly tough unit, as not a single person fell behind despite the endless race, risking death.

“If you rest for about half a day, you will regain your energy.”

“We had plenty of food and water on board. “We will prepare it right away, so you can feed it to the crew.”

“Thank you for the favor.”

It may seem like they are being overly generous, but this was an order that came directly from the general creditor. It is only natural that the entire Yangtze River Waterway could come to an end.

Emperor Wen looked around.

Sigh. Sigh.

Speed ships called Yongik and Yongjo followed to the left and right of Yongan, the representative ship of Yongachae. A total of one hundred pirates were on board five speedboats.

On land, they would be no match, but on waterways, they were a force with greater strategic utility than the Mukpungdae. Their number is as many as three hundred.

I thought it was an excessively large number, but I had to prepare for the unexpected.

‘In my heart, I wish the entire Yangtze River Waterway would come out.’

Of course, you shouldn’t go that far. Although they would be no match for the Sanghyeolseong in terms of strength, if they even got involved with the Uicheon Alliance, it would be a huge headache.

If you do not intend to completely eliminate it, it is better to finish it off with moderate pressure. That was just now.

“My lord.”

“hmm.”

“The Hubei branch sent a letter. “They say they will place iron sword demons near Uichang.”

Emperor Wen’s eyes sparkled.

The Iron Sword Demon was an elite member of the Ghost King Gate, known as the greatest Sect in Hubei. Although their number was only thirty-three, each and every one of them was a swordsman crazy about slaughter.

“I get it.”

Near Uichang, the Iron Sword Demon, and on the Yangtze River, the full power of Yongahae.

Emperor Wen’s fists naturally gained strength.

‘Catch it no matter what.’

How much time has passed like that?

Shoot!

A thick fog rose in the distance.

Emperor Wen’s eyes deepened.

“Why is there water fog all of a sudden?”

Sagok quenched his appetite.

“This is a section where the water fog is particularly severe. In the past, it was also said to be the snort of the Dragon King sleeping at the bottom of the Yangtze River. “There are dozens of sections like this throughout the Yangtze River.”

“Right.”

“Do not worry. “Not only is it not that dark, it almost disappears after just one tip.”

“I understand that water fog is usually caused by temperature differences.”

“you’re right. It is normal for the fog to spread at dawn, but here, water fog appears and disappears from time to time. “Isn’t it amazing?”

“Right.”

Hehehe.

Sagok trembled playfully.

“It looks like fall has really arrived. “It’s quite cold.”

“Even if we take our time, we are losing.”

“Even if it gets dark, there won’t be much change in speed. Do not worry.”

Emperor Wen nodded.

In this way, Yongan and Yongik Yongjo entered the area filled with water fog.

Saaaaagh.

As the thick fog blurs my vision, I feel like I can hear singing coming from somewhere.

‘What is this sound?’

Emperor Wen glanced at Sagok.

Sagok was also tilting his head. Even though I passed by this place several times, it seemed like this was the first time I had heard anything like this.

“It doesn’t seem to be the sound of the wind… That’s strange. what?”

It was then.

‘…?’

Emperor Wen looked down at his forearm.

Oh, so, I had goosebumps. Even if he was trapped in an ice cave, there was no way he would feel the cold with his martial arts skills.

‘what?’

Sigh.

A sound coming from far away.

It feels clear now. This wasn’t a song. Rather, it was similar to the sound of a boat cutting through the water.

Unusual atmosphere.

Sagok looked back and shouted.

“Slow down!”

Grumble. Grumbling.

All the ships slowed down at the same time as if they were waiting. It was no exaggeration to say that the skill of driving a boat was truly divine.

But that is not enough.

The person approaching this fog-filled Yongsang Gorge was a devil stronger than the empire’s strongest battleship, faster than the best speed ship in the waterway, and more fearsome than the gunfire of the ship’s hull.

Emperor Wen’s eyes wavered.

A blood-red brilliance that repeatedly flickers beyond the water mist.

“Ready for battle!!”

Emperor Wen continued to shout.

“All members of the Mukpungdae prepare for battle!”

Cha chachang!

The entire Mukpung unit drew their swords.

Sagok also seemed to have been waiting and gave orders to Yongachae’s enemies. They were prepared to launch an attack at any time.

Just like that, everyone was ready for battle in an instant.

“….”

A moment of silence.

Wheeeeee!!

A sudden wind blew and concentrated the water fog into one point.

The sight of water fog swirling and forming vortices was nothing short of spectacular. It is not a river, but forms a vortex in the air.

‘Fog?!’

The area of the water fog was gradually shrinking. The sight of the water fog that had spread over a fairly large area gradually decreasing was also nothing short of mysterious.

And then the attack began.

Rumbling! Shoot!!!

Is there a monster hiding in the river?

What was shot through the river at a frightening speed was a powerful sword containing the wind of hell.

“Lower your posture!”

“Hold the hull…!”

Kwaaaa!!

The Yongan’s huge hull shook violently.

“Ugh!”

“catch! catch!”

The clamoring members of the Mukpung Troop and the bandits.

But the attack did not end there.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Huge pillars of fire rose from the left and right sides of Yongsanggyeop and poured out in an arc. Steam rose from the extreme heat and the river water was turbulent.

Emperor Wen’s eyes wavered.

The two huge pillars of fire narrowing in from the left and right looked like two fire dragons.

‘Doggy?!’

Quaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

Yongan shook like crazy.

Surochae’s best shipbuilding technology was concentrated, but the disaster that struck suddenly went far beyond human imagination. It had the power of a natural disaster.

A fierce wind and a fantastic pillar of fire.

What next?

Blah blah blah!!

Sagok opened his mouth wide.

“Janggang…Janggang?!”

The surface of the river began to freeze. Even in the middle of winter, river water that does not freeze easily freezes at an alarming rate.

Am I possessed by a ghost or am I dreaming?

Jump and jump.

Someone walked on the thickly frozen river.

He was a tall young man with his back leisurely. The handsome appearance, solid physique, and pure white attire looked strangely harmonious.

He is so handsome that it makes your eyes light up, but rather than admiring you, you feel a sense of grotesqueness.’

It was because of the terrifying magical energy that the young man radiated.

“I finally found it.”

Emperor Wen shouted loudly.

“Who are you!!”

The young man, Seoliang, smiled whitely.

Quaaaang!

Seoryang jumped, breaking the frozen river, and jumped into Yongan alone.
