Episode 425 Ten Heavenly Demons (5)

Central square of Shingyo Castle.

Numerous people gathered in the square where the lively demon statue stood tall.

People were lined up tightly in the buildings around the square, in the alleys between buildings, and even on top of single-story buildings.

It literally seemed like all the demons of Shingyo had gathered. In fact, the majority of the demons, excluding a few units and guards who had disembarked after receiving a mission, were gathered here.

however.

“It’s quiet.”

“I see.”

A shadow fell over Kiyang’s face.

“I wonder if it can be this quiet. Since it is the coronation of the religious leader, it is appropriate to be reverent, but…”

“It’s different from piety.”

“That’s right. It’s as if gunpowder is about to explode. “It’s filled with confusion and tension.”

Gunseong Lee sighed.

“I never thought I would see something like this.”

As the first leader of the Protectorate, he had sacrificed his life for Protestantism for decades.

Because he was like that, on the one hand, I was able to understand the feelings of the believers. Didn’t he and his followers live under the reign of a great giant called the greatest Heavenly Demon?

Lee Cheon-sang introduced Seoryang as a successor who would brighten the future of Shingyo, saying that he would become stronger than himself one day.

However, to the believers who were enthusiastic about Sugyoju at the time, Xu Liang was only a successor with great potential and not a god.

Their god has always been Lee Cheon-sang, and they may have never even imagined any other god.

However, God died, and those who could not reach the realm of God became the leader of the cult.

The extreme sense of loss and futility, and the reality of having to worship another god so suddenly, shook the hearts of the believers.

So, even though they gathered at the square to see the religious leader, instead of feeling excited, they were extremely nervous.

“All of our church members are strong. “They are not people who should be anxious because of a change in government.”

“yes.”

“Nevertheless, the fact that he is showing such a thing proves that the reign of the previous religious leader was great.”

“At the same time, it also proves our weakness.”

“yes?”

A slight disappointment appeared in Lee Gun-seong’s eyes as he looked at the believers.

It was a disappointment toward an unspecified number of people, and furthermore, a disappointment toward himself.

“Even if we were ruled by a holy god who is difficult to reappear in history, it is natural for another god to ascend to the throne of the church as time goes by.

Anyone can feel the immediate helplessness, sadness, and frustration. But you shouldn’t bring those feelings to this point.”

“??I think so too. However, it does not mean that we cannot understand the feelings of the believers.”

“Me too. That makes me even more disappointed.”

“??.”

“The previous leader’s reign may not have been perfect, but it was enough to be called the best.

If you lived in such a time, you should have prepared for the future in order to pass on a better world to future generations.

But they are still living in the past, unable to accept reality.”

And me too.

Lee Gun-seong swallowed back what he wanted to say without realizing it.

Maybe the closer he is to the religious leader, the stronger he feels those feelings.

Although he was not a guardian of the law. As the second-in-command of the Protectorate, he devoted his entire life to protecting the Protestant religion.

He was also a person who was greatly shocked by the sudden death of the previous religious leader. Probably everyone gathered here was like that.

“I hope that this coronation ceremony ends safely and comfortably. .”

“I feel the same way.”

Giyang took a deep breath and said,

“Anyway, hasn’t our junior grown up really well? It’s hard to even call him junior anymore.”

Lee Gun-seong smiled.

“That’s true.”

“There was quite a bit of talk even within the defense court. Some jealous guardians say they are keeping in line, but that’s just nonsense.”

“Of course. You have to pay a price to get the treasure. Dongpil crossed countless lines with the leader. The

position he sits in now was earned by himself.”

“I’m really proud of you. Even though I can’t treat you as comfortably as I used to anymore.”

The horse is a personal guard and is no different from a warrior who is the cult leader’s only bodyguard unit. Unlike the Hocheon Demon Emperor, it is a close guard. In fact, it

is correct to say that he is the most powerful person in the religion. It is unlikely, but even if Ma Dong-pil makes a vicious request, if he is the cult leader, It seemed like he would gladly listen in.

“A young protector who was blunt but had more passion than anyone else ended up standing with God at the top of Mt. Taishan.”

Kiyang felt truly proud. It was the same for Lee Gunseong.

However, he was just as worried. Protecting someone for life is usually not a difficult task, and even if the object of protection is the head of the cult, the peak of the Heavenly Demon Church. There

will probably be a lot of hardship in the future. .

“Speaking of which, aren’t there spirit creatures under your command?”

“They say that the people in the central plains call them Yeomwangisu (King Two Dogs).

These are two beasts under the control of King Yeomra… That seems plausible.

“It would have been given that name if the leader had shown such a fearsome appearance when he was briefly active in the central plains.”

Kiyang looked around.

“But for some reason I can’t see those spirit creatures. “I remember following the leader during the coronation of the leader.”

“I don’t know about that.”

It was a time when the two people were in the midst of a conversation full of worries and expectations.

thud!

In the distance, a strong sound came from the gate connecting the inner and outer walls.

“omg!”

“Hmm, it’s still big.”

The entire plaza, which had been extremely quiet, suddenly became filled with murmurs.

thud. thud. thud.

A large body with black and yellow stripes was approaching from afar, writhing dynamically.

A huge tiger, which was taller than the height of an adult man, slowly walked forward with paws as big as its size.

Two blood-red eyes were fiercely raised, and the word ‘King’ was clearly engraved on the forehead.

It was a monster tiger weighing over a thousand pounds. The long tail was as thick as a person’s thigh.

“Howang.”

It was the appearance of a legendary wild beast that was said to have been the ruler of Yasu Palace, one of the Saeoeosa palaces of King Yeomwang Isu.

Just as Xi Liang had become much stronger than during the time of Xiao Jiaozhu, King Hu was also exuding a more intimidating aura than before.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The believers cleared the way to the left and right. Whatever the reason, the Tiger King was a spirit being controlled by the religious leader. I didn’t dare block the road.

In this way, King Tiger arrived in front of the demon statue in the central square.

Sreuk.

The King of Tiger sat facing the demon statue. The sight from behind was majestic, like looking at a huge bear.

“Why did that beast suddenly appear?”

“I guess the leader is coming.”

“But why can’t I see that fox monster?”

Whatever the reason, the quiet atmosphere was completely broken by the appearance of the Tiger King. The believers were once again amazed by the presence of the Tiger King and were surprised by its size.

Cheolmoojeong, who was standing atop the Seven-Storied Pagoda in the distance and looking down at the square, his eyes lit up.

‘The atmosphere has completely changed. What this means is that a gap has appeared in the hearts of the believers. Is this a total military operation?’

As the head of Xinjiang, he also had to enter the square. Nevertheless, the reason he was looking down on the entire square from here was to prepare for an unexpected situation.

That wasn’t all. All ten high-ranking demon commanders of the Xinjiang Department were surrounding the inner city, looking in all directions.

‘From what I heard, the leader told me to get rid of the mahwanggeo…’

Iron Mujeong looked towards the Demon God Palace.

‘Mawanggeo is the symbol of the religious leader. But why don’t you want to climb the Demon Emperor?’

It was then.

“You took a few days off and it got bigger?”

In a moment of surprise, Cheolmujeong turned his gaze to the square.

That was not the only thing. All of the believers gathered here looked at the demon statue in the square.

To be exact, this was where the horns on the head of the demon statue grew. Before we knew it, there was a pole wearing a black dragon robe. A young man of one stature was sitting in a free-spirited posture.

His loose hair was blowing in the wind, and his deep, clear eyes were filled with laughter.

He gave off a very soft and benevolent atmosphere. At the same time, he made the viewer feel different from him. He also radiated a presence that I couldn’t take my eyes off of.

“…Master?!”

Xu Liang nodded,

“Yes, it is me.”

The believers all fell to their knees.

Boom!

“Dominion Holy Spirit! Heavenly Demon Immortal! The ugly children of the Demon have an audience with the Holy Spirit!”

Everyone shouted in unison with an unmistakable voice.

Although everyone was greatly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the religious leader, they never forgot what they had to do.

This was a manifestation of the faith in God deep within their hearts. It would be nice to see.

Xu Liang looked down at the believers with a still smiling face.

“Aren’t your knees hurting?”

“???!”

“Sit comfortably.”

Sit comfortably?

The believers were perplexed. They had gathered to watch the coronation of the religious leader and the handover ceremony. It’s clear that this is a very serious position, so why not sit comfortably?

At that time, Ho Yo-seong flopped down in his place.

“Oh my, it’s comfortable!”

The believers looked at Ho Yo-seong with shocked faces.

Ho Yo-seong tilted his head.

“What are you doing? The leader told you to sit comfortably, right? Make yourself at home.”

When you tell me to sit comfortably, do you really sit comfortably? Are you sane?

“Oh my! “My back was already sore, but it’s okay.”

Surprisingly, the Mazons, including Gwangmazon, also sat down one by one, following Ho Yo-seong.

That wasn’t all. Soyeonsim Mudam as well as all the leadership sat in their respective comfortable positions.

When the situation became like this, the believers could not continue to kneel. They stood up hesitantly and sat down, looking at each other.

So all the believers sat down and looked up at Seo-ryang.

Seo-ryang took out a small bottle of alcohol from his pocket and took a sip. It was Six Heavenly Heart Wine, brewed by Lee Cheon-sang himself.

“It’s great.”

Gather everyone together and drink alone.

The believers were even more embarrassed. They could not have imagined that the religious leader would drink alcohol so casually.

What was even more surprising was what happened after that.

Xu Liang just drank in silence.

Looking at the smiling faces, it seemed like he was in a good mood, but as everyone gathered around and drank alcohol without saying a word, only the people sitting there started to feel anxious.

After a while, Xi Liang completely emptied the bottle.

Still, Seo-ryang said nothing. I comfortably put my knees up, crossed my arms over them, and looked up at the sky, and I felt a feeling of freedom without any harshness.

The time of silence showed no sign of ending.

The sunlight flowing through the cool wind in the cloudless sky illuminated the entire castle.

It was nice weather. The rays of sunlight and the cold wind collided, creating a pleasant dryness.

A long time has passed like that.

As time passed, strangely enough, the faces of the believers, who had been full of anxiety, began to gradually become more relaxed.

The reason was unknown. It could have been because of the nice weather or because the leader seemed to be in a good mood.

The important thing is that this place is much more comfortable now than when everyone first gathered together.

The silence that had created a heavy and uncomfortable atmosphere was no longer heavy.

It was peaceful. It was warm and cool. Even though they were sitting comfortably, the believers who were shaking due to discomfort finally began to relax their backs.

Time passed again.

One angle, two angles and a half square.

It was around this time that the sun, which had risen in the sky, had suddenly tilted slightly to the west.

Jump and jump.

As if a person was walking.

There was an animal walking briskly on four large, long legs.

The size was truly amazing. Although it could not be compared to the Tiger King, it was a beast large enough to remind one of a considerable great tiger.

The fur on its entire body was dyed golden, and its rich mane, like that of a lion, fell down to its chest and was fluttering.

There was a faintness in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“Kumho.”

Cry.

I can’t even guess where or how it came from. Geumho was walking along the same path that King Tiger had walked.

And Geumho was holding an antique treasured sword in his mouth.

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

“I brought you here, Master.”
