Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 303

Episode 303 A monster born from magic (3)

Thanks to Gong Yachi, I was able to rent an entire large base.

The young people’s discussion started in broad daylight and continued until dawn.

I was worried about what topic they would discuss right away, but surprisingly, Seoryang skillfully led the crowd.

Thanks to this, the discussion, which started a little cautiously and a little timidly, quickly became heated. Each person had a lot to say.

Surprisingly, Seo-ryang took turns having a serious conversation with everyone. There wasn’t much talk about the past, and the main focus was on the current status of the political faction and how the Madou Martial Arts will play an important role in the Martial Arts.

Namgunghwa was amazing.

‘A place like this can be created.’

When Seo-ryang is absent, we group together and have serious conversations. There was often shouting, but surprisingly there were no overly violent arguments.

This may be because each party understands to some extent what the other person saw and heard.

‘Thoughts are free. And it’s deep.’

Except for Namgung, all the members of Odaesega and Gupailbang were absent.

In other words, only the later exponents of small and medium-sized schools remained, and their insight was truly surprising. Although his military education may not be as good as that of the Five Generations or the Nine Schools, his worldly experience seemed to be much more than that of them.

Because I grew up rough.

Compared to the so-called prestigious families, they lacked power, money, and reputation. So, they had no choice but to go out into the world early on and grow by bumping into each other with their bodies.

On the contrary, there were many people who saw things that the famous warriors could not see. Although their martial arts skills were lower than that of the Namgung siblings, their insight and depth of sense and thought were often much better.

There was something they shouted in unison.

“War should not occur.”

If it’s obvious, it’s obvious. But they didn’t just say that to call for justice.

First of all, the ones who die the most are the martial arts people of small and medium-sized sects.

It was also the reason why political factions were strong. There were many times when martial artists from the old factions or the five generations took the lead, but in the end, the true power of the martial arts factions came from the countless small and medium-sized factions.

So they are the ones who sacrifice the most. Of course, I couldn’t stand by and watch a war unfold just to keep the convention.

Second, it is difficult to survive after the war.

Most of the famous shamans of the great clans accumulate treasures that are difficult to guess. However, small and medium-sized sects cannot recover once their finances and business foundations are damaged.

In the end, even if you survive, it’s just hell. It is impossible to lead a normal life unless heavenly luck follows you.

And the third and final reason.

It was the most decisive reason and also the reason that caught the Namgung siblings off guard.

Nothing changes.

Yes.

There were times when the political faction and the Mado fought at war, or the Sa faction and the Mado fought. Of course, there were many histories of wars between political factions and factions.

But nothing changed.

If there has been sacrifice, we must use that sacrifice as a stepping stone to create a better world. However, for hundreds of years, the martial arts group remained unchanged and remained a true evil spirit.

It is a meaningless fight. In the end, if it’s the same world over and over again, it’s okay to not fight in the first place and just live while respecting each person’s territory.

“But there is always conflict in the world. “It will be the same at this moment.”

“I’m sorry to say this, but most of the troubles take place in the Old File Room and the Odaesega.”

The children of small and medium-sized clans did not hastily engage in disputes with the warriors of Sapa or Mado, even if it was for survival.

That was the reason why most of the people who caused conflict were military figures from prestigious families.

There are many people who know the reality, but there are many more who rely on the reputation and power of each clan. It is easy to do dangerous things because there is a strong supporter behind you.

“We are for peace. To be more honest, I want to live happily. I want to live the romantic, romantic life that adults told me about when I was young. But the reality is not like that.”

Namgunghwa sighed.

At that time, Seo-ryang blurted out a word.

“Then you can change it.”

“As you know, Master Xiao knows, it’s really not easy.”

“Of course it’s not easy. I understand that you are tired of the unchanging world. “To be exact, it’s your parents’ generation.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“Still, I should have continued. The world doesn’t change in a flash. “It changes little by little on an ongoing basis.”

“Yes, that’s right. But no one wants to take charge of it. Instead, they are busy laughing at it.”

“I won’t laugh at that and call it an excuse. “Because I know how difficult it must be to overcome the attention and ridicule of the world.”

“That’s right. “It will be harder than dealing with a teenage master.”

“But you still have to do it.”

“….”

“But you still have to do it. “Unless you want to live in a world filled with defeat.”

“…Whew.”

“Just because it’s a difficult path doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right path. But there is no easy way to change the world. Your place is yours to create. “No one takes responsibility for your life.”

“That is correct.”

“That doesn’t mean we should overthrow the nine factions and the five generations. I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do if you do it, but radical methods are bound to have consequences. “If the world you want is peace, then this is a problem that should be handled as peacefully as possible.”

A scene full of bitterness.

Then someone smiled and asked:

“But is it okay for Master Xiao to say this to us? Rather, isn’t it normal to encourage them to destroy the nine factions and the five generations?”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Don’t be ridiculous. I may go somewhere and hear people call me a dog butcher, but I am a person who knows his own status. “It’s only when you’re a worthy opponent that it’s worth cutting.”

“You said you hate war?”

“uh? Was it like that? “But you don’t know anything, do you?”

The audience burst into laughter.

Seoliang knew how to secretly influence the mood of the crowd. Although we engaged in serious conversation together, we also knew how to break up the overly serious atmosphere with a few jokes.

Surprisingly, the leaders of the Demonic Cult and the late leaders, whom they met for the first time, became close enough to joke around in less than half a day. Even if you don’t completely understand the other person, at least you can communicate.

“But I have a question.”

“What?”

“Why did Su Jiao-ju come to the Central Plains? “I don’t think I heard clearly yet.”

“There are kites ready to kill.”

“…who?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I’ll tell you later. By the way, you guys were thinking of me when I joined this, right?”

“You’re changing your tune.”

“Use it.”

“What are you thinking?”

“If you say you had a group conversation with the leader of the Demonic Cult, the higher-ups in the martial arts faction will definitely not look at you favorably. “I guess many of the kids who didn’t come with us didn’t participate because of that?”

Surprisingly, they didn’t find that part to be an issue.

“Do you know why we participated in the Cheonjung Branch?”

“Are you trying to flatter those from a prestigious family?”

“….”

“Okay, you guys. Why did you participate?”

“No, what you said is correct. “We came here to impress them.”

“You admit it right away?”

“But did we do it because we wanted to? “Most of us participated out of fear of being left out.”

“So, if your own clan does not flatter you, you will be eaten by another clan that has grown by flattering you?”

“…It’s similar.”

“I don’t know if you know, but they live a really luxurious life.”

“They said they don’t want to do that, so neither do we.”

The way he grumbled seemed a little playful, but it also seemed bitter.

“But with the advent of So Jiaoju, that splendid position was completely destroyed. “It’s not like I was in a situation where I was going to fart in the first place.”

“I saved you?”

“Should I thank you?”

“It’s okay, man. so?”

“Wouldn’t it be good to know something about the Heavenly Demon Church, which has lost its place anyway? I also have curiosity. “That’s why I came.”

“aha? “If you want to take responsibility, all you have to do is point the arrow at me?”

“It might be the easiest way.”

“Damn things. “You guys are really doing well.”

“That’s how I survived. Well, I’m not embarrassed anymore.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“So what does your archenemy, the little master of the Heavenly Demon Church, look like?”

“A fun but dangerous person.”

“That was a good save.”

Xu Liang stood up.

Everyone looked at him.

“It was a good place in many ways. “I think you guys will have more to talk about.”

“Where are you going?”

“Didn’t you hear it earlier? “They say Panga is coming to get me.”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

A young man asked cautiously.

“Let’s talk about it…”

“Arthur. Don’t you even look at the small family head of the Pan family? “They’re not people I can communicate with in the first place.”

“But isn’t it better than being chased?”

“Kicked out? who?”

“yes?”

“I think there is some misunderstanding. “I’m not trying to run away.”

There was a faint glow in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“I’m going to kill them all.”

A chill overtook the space immersed in silence.

“I don’t like disruption. “But I have no intention of just watching those who try to mess with me.”

“That’s the confusion.”

“If you survived by turning your brains on, then I am the one who risked my life and lived recklessly.”

“It will be dangerous.”

“You pay the price. “If you live like me, at least you won’t be needlessly frustrated.”

Xu Liang straightened his posture.

“How was this place today? “Are you okay?”

They couldn’t answer.

It was definitely the first time I had had such a serious conversation about the state of martial arts and the world we would live in in the future. It was amazing and surprising.

“You guys are amazing.”

“What do we…”

“Even if you were a demon you had never seen before, you couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. Even when I first broke in, it created quite a violent atmosphere. And yet you followed me like this. “Herb mentality or whatever.”

“….”

“I don’t know you, just as you don’t know me. “The reason this place was able to be created like this is because there was a gap between Jeong (?) and Demon (?) over the past thirty years.”

“Of course.”

“Someone tries to fill that void with hatred. Some people want to leave it in sadness, others want to leave it in emptiness. But I don’t want to do that.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“I want to fill that thirty-year gap with peace.”

“…!”

“We still don’t have trust in each other. But at least I got a taste of what kind of person the other person was. “It started out poorly, but now possibilities have opened up.”

Xu Liang turned around.

“One year later today, I want to meet you guys again.”

There was indescribable confusion on their faces as they looked at Seoliang’s back.

Neither the Gupa Ilbang nor the Five Daesae will meet them. However, the small master of the Heavenly Demon Church, their archenemy, says he wants to meet them again.

The words and the fact warmed their hearts.

“Don’t die until then, you brats.”

After a while, the sound of a carriage being pulled was heard from afar.

Namgunghwa’s eyes deepened as he looked out the window.

“…I understand why my father respected that man.”
