Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 310

Episode 310 A myth begins (5)

The person who was most surprised by Seo-ryang’s unexpected words and actions was Gong Ya-chi.

“A trap?”

“It’s a cancer trap. “It’s not just a trap.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“The Gangseo Merchants Association wants to do business with our university? “It would be more plausible for the Shaolin Temple to join hands with us.”

“…?!”

“You said it earlier. They say that Kangho’s vested interests are looking at me with disapproval. “Just relax.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“It seems like you are the one who should be nervous, not me.”

“…Are you saying they sent this letter to lure the Lord Xiao?”

“I’m sure ten percent.”

Gong Yachi furrowed his eyebrows and was deep in thought.

“Trap… Trap?”

He knew Seoliang’s abilities better than anyone else.

Seoliang is a great martial artist. It is clear that it will grow significantly in the future and become a giant that moves the world in the future.

However, Gong Yachi valued his intuition and driving force more than Xiliang’s martial arts.

You can gain fame through martial arts, but resolving incidents is a completely different matter. Seoliang was a hero in difficult times who reached his current position by solving problems sometimes intuitively and sometimes logically.

He says this letter is a trap. This isn’t something I just say.

“First of all…”

Gong Yachi’s voice became weak, as if he was confused.

“After checking the handwriting and address of the letter, it was clear that it was sent from the Merchants’ Association of Jiangxi Province. “It is true that the letter was written directly by the owner of the association.”

“I guess so.”

Gong Yachi’s eyes were filled with strength.

“Do you really think that Gangseo Store is being threatened by some kind of organization?”

“Threat? What kind of threats would it take for a mere merchant association to want to mess with our school, the headquarters of the Demonic Murim? “Are you willing to mess with the Shaolin Temple because of such an important matter as Hao Wen’s fate?”

“…It’s not like that.”

“Why?”

“Because the moment you touch the Shaolin Temple, everything ends.”

“I know very well.”

Currently, the three generations of Kang Ho are dividing the martial arts world into three parts, and the Shaolin Temple is clearly a member of the Uicheon Alliance.

However, the Shaolin Temple was not simply a force in charge of one axis of the Uicheon Alliance. He was a legend and the sun of the martial arts world in itself.

It is not for nothing that the phrase “Taesan North Tower (????) and a worker under heaven (???????)” comes out.

Even if the Uicheon Alliance collapses, Shaolin cannot be touched. This is because Shaolin itself is a sanctuary.

So what about the Heavenly Demon Church?

“It’s the same at our school.”

“….”

“For those who carry the devil in their hearts, our school is like heaven. Perhaps it can be seen as having greater influence than Shaolin. “Because we worship God here.”

“Then…”

Gong Yachi gulped.

“Are you saying that Gangseo Merchants Association is a force that opposes the Heavenly Demon Church in the first place?”

“yes.”

“You know them well.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“It just happened to be like that. But even if I didn’t know, I would have suspected it first.”

“Why is that so?”

“Why? I am now in the middle of a battlefield. “It is okay to honestly accept hostile intentions, but this is a situation where goodwill cannot be accepted as is.”

“…!”

“Don’t you think you should be sharper in that regard?”

Gong Yachi sighed.

What Xu Liang said was correct in every detail.

This is our job, where even the most obvious facts must be questioned. Isn’t this the world of information where you get stabbed in the back even if you doubt and doubt again?

‘I was conceited.’

Currently, Xiliang’s reputation is shaking the world.

What is surprising is that it is not just Seoliang’s background that created its reputation.

Seoliang showed his skills and firmly kept his words. At the same time, he held a conversation with later political faction leaders and went directly into battle against the Peng family, wiping them out.

In other words, there was no action that was not unconventional. And the person who supported him reliably from behind to make such a move possible was Gong Yachi.

Seoliang’s success is his own success. Before I knew it, such a thought had taken root in Gong Yachi’s head.

It wasn’t a wrong idea. But the more it happened, the more nervous I had to be.

That’s because I haven’t even tasted real success yet.

“sorry.”

Gong Yachi stood up and bent down.

“I guess I was too intoxicated by the recent feats. From now on, I will never disappoint Master Xiao.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I can completely understand. “I hope you don’t feel too embarrassed.”

“no. “If I didn’t realize this here today, I would definitely end up regretting it later.”

“I won’t say no. I understand your feelings too. “Just make sure you don’t make mistakes in the future.”

“That will never happen.”

I’m not saying I’ll try my best, but I’m just saying that it won’t happen at all. The greater the shock, the stronger the resolve.

“I have one question.”

“How can you be sure?”

“That’s right. As Master So said, it is possible to doubt, but I think it is difficult to be certain. But Lord Sogyo mentioned a probability of ten percent.”

There was honest curiosity on Gong Yachi’s face.

“What makes you so sure this is a trap?”

Gogu also looked at Seoryang as if he was curious.

Seo-ryang inwardly savored his appetite.

‘I know because I was the one who helped create the Merchants’ Association.’

When dealing with all kinds of dirty work behind Dam Sa-yeong’s back, it was Seo-ryang who helped unite the merchants of Gangseo to form a general meeting.

Of course, like many things before, it was not something that Seo-ryang wanted to do. He simply received orders from Dam Sa-yeong to assassinate those who were in the way, guarded the upper chamber, and even cleared out the back alleys of Yeomwangchae so that the upper chamber could grow.

Although I took on all kinds of difficult tasks under Dam Sa-yeong, the work of Gangseo Merchants was one of the most tedious and difficult tasks.

But thanks to that, I didn’t know anything about Gangseo Store’s affairs.

“The person who helped unify the top of Gangseo Province from behind is Lord Uicheon.”

“omg!”

Gong Yachi’s eyes wavered.

Gogu also opened his mouth wide, as if he was quite surprised.

“There was no such information.”

“Isn’t it obvious? No matter how much information Hao Wen has, we will never know unless we are determined to dig into it. No, even if I tried to dig into it, it would have been difficult.”

“How can Lord Xiao do that?”

“Well… when you get to this position, there’s a lot of information coming in.”

Gogu nodded and agreed.

If you become a small religious leader, you will have the authority to control the religious power. If he had that much power, there is a high probability that he would have heard information about Gangseo Store.

“Why did Lord Uicheon support Gangseo Store?”

“It’s obvious. Gangseo-seong is a region that is just around the corner from the Demonic Wurim territory. Besides, it’s not far from Sanghyeolseong Fortress, the headquarters of the Sa Sect.”

“So you built a guard tower?!”

“Exactly. Besides, Gangseo Merchant Association is not a martial arts faction, but a merchant association, right? There is little to no suspicion about it and I make a lot of money. Literally killing two birds with one stone.”

Gong Yachi stuck out his tongue.

‘It’s scary.’

Are we going to build an invisible spire in Gangseo Province to monitor the Sapa and Mado Martial Forests?

It is an idea that is truly difficult to come up with. He even went so far as to make that idea a reality.

I was once again horrified by the insidiousness of Lord Uicheon.

“Of course, the Gangseo Store itself does not belong to the Uicheon leader personally. “If I had to say it, I would have to say it was a coincidence of interests.”

“Does the head of the Merchant Association hate the Demonic Murim?”

“I hate you. That’s huge too. “He is a person who is ready to sacrifice not only his wealth but also his own life if he can destroy the Demonic Murim.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“It’s not just Hoeju. “Most of the major figures in the Chamber of Commerce hate the Demonic Wulin.”

“An organization like that would never try to join hands with the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“Unless you plan to stab me in the back.”

Gong Yachi stood up.

“This is not the time. “Let’s find out about them right now.”

“What should we do after we find out?”

“Even if what Master So said is true, I don’t think they came forward on their own. Inevitably, there will be someone watching your back, and in all likelihood, that someone will be….”

“It will be the leader of Uicheon.”

“That’s right.”

“The problem is that even if we know it, it is difficult to make it public. I don’t know why they hate our school. If the reason is so heinous that it is difficult to accept from the Jungwon sentiment….”

“Of course it should not be revealed at this time. “The reputation that Lord Sogyo worked so hard to build will be destroyed.”

“that’s right.”

Gong Yachi said confidently.

“Don’t worry about this. “There is no need to counterattack now, but we can build a barrier that will double the return if we are attacked.”

He bowed his head.

“I will come to you within 15 days. Until then, please take care.”

“Hey, Somunju.”

“Yes, Master Xiao.”

Xu Liang said with a smile.

“Overwork is not good. “Even if it’s a little slow, let’s go slowly and surely.”

Gong Yachi grinned.

“I agree, but I think we need to get busy now.”

With those words, Gong Yachi flew away and disappeared.

Xiliang sighed.

“I’m so busy with work. “You have to make sure you rest when you rest so that your head can function well.”

“Master Xiao.”

“ok?”

Gogu looked at him with strange eyes.

Xu Liang frowned.

“Why do you look at me like that? “It’s very blasphemous, isn’t it?”

“Do you care much for him?”

“who? “Gongya?”

“That’s right.”

“Rather than caring, it’s closer to concern for my partner. We still have a lot of work to do. “If you get hurt already, you’ll be in big trouble later.”

“okay.”

“But why?”

“no. “It seems like you take great care of him.”

“Even though I took care of them, I never threw a single iron coin at them.”

Although he grumbled, Gogu could tell. How much does Seo-ryang think of Gong Ya-chi?

‘Well, it’s been like that since long ago.’

Seo-ryang always said no, but he was a person who gave a lot of affection to those he thought were his.

They caress their failures, point out their mistakes, and comfort them by talking about the future. Considering the violent personality that Seo-ryang has shown so far, it was a truly unsuitable appearance.

But perhaps that is Seoryang’s character and charm.

I have no mercy towards my enemies, but I make sure to take care of my people.

“Anyway, what brought you here?”

“I had a little realization, but I don’t think now is the time. “I’ll come back later.”

“It’s a shame to come back later. “Are you going to pick me and come visit me when I’m having a hard time?”

Xu Liang stood up grumbling.

“The cherry blossoms are being transported, so let’s go there. Let’s see how amazing the realization is.”

A small smile appeared on Gogu’s lips.

“thank you.”

* * *

Fifteen days later.

The first to smell blood were Geumho and King Tiger.

Crumbling.

The two spirits bared their teeth.

Faaagh!

Yeo Sang-rin also felt the unusual atmosphere.

Yeo Sang-rin, who was engrossed in training, quickly ran out to the bush. It was a passage leading to this villa.

After a while, Yeo Sang-rin shouted.

“Master Xiaojiao!!”

Paaang!

Seoryang and Ma Dongpil and Gogu came running.

“What happened…”

For a moment, they were speechless.

In front of Yeo Sang-rin, a small, masked person was lying down. The masked man, who was bleeding, was unconscious.

And in the masked man’s hands was a crumpled letter.

Xu Liang personally took out the letter and opened it.

‘…!’

Ugh.

Magi swaying little by little.

Weeeeeee!!

As Xiliang unleashed his demonic energy, a golden glow flickered from Geumho’s body. It was proof that Xiliang’s heart was greatly shaken.

He got up from his seat.

“Pack your bags.”

“Is there a problem?”

Seo-ryang’s cheeks trembled slightly.

“I was bullied.”
