Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 580

Episode 580 Sad Toast (5)

“Huh! “Master!”

“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

Seoryang approaches with a smile.

His face looked a bit haggard, but his expression was relaxed. This may be because he naturally escaped the mental demon brought on by the deaths of the demons under his command.

Soyeonsim lowered her head.

“If you had given me a message in advance, I would have at least set a table for you with alcohol.”

“Are you cursing me for coming without a message?”

“omg! “It can’t be!”

Xu Liang smiled coolly.

“As expected, Wonju is still the same. “I also like that you don’t recite that sarcastic Shinma expression.”

Soyeonsim smiled.

“I think the leader would like that.”

“Giggles.”

“Aren’t you secretly cursing me for not showing respect?”

“If I were to criticize you for something like that, my hands and feet would have shriveled up hundreds of times.”

“Ho Ho.”

“It’s okay to drink, but can I get you a cup of tea?”

“Of course.”

After a while, the two people sat facing each other in the pavilion in the back garden of Hwanheewon.

Xu Liang said with a smile.

“The expression on your face is very nice to see.”

“Is that how you see it, too?”

“Yeah, you look a little more comfortable now. In the past, it seemed like it would prick up its thorns if you touched it, but now it’s at ease.”

“It’s all thanks to the leader.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Why is that my virtue? I said I would give you a chance to have fun, but in the end, it was also a summons for me.

“If you hadn’t been so aggressive, I would have been in trouble too.”

Soyeonsim shook her head.

“The battlefield is where a warrior dies. However, if I am destined to be raised as a warrior and not be able to decide where I will die, I want to be able to burn it brightly at least once in my life.”

“okay?”

“yes. And the religious leader gathered the soaked firewood and lit the fire. “I think all of the leadership, including Daehobeop, felt a sense of liberation, even if only for a moment.”

“It’s a feeling of liberation.”

Soyeonsim smiled.

“Furthermore, since it is for the sake of the religious leader, that is enough of a justification, right?”

“haha!”

There is definitely something unique about So Yeon-sim that is different from other leaders.

If we look at Cheon Ha-jin’s actual life, So Yeon-sim was much younger than Seo-ryang.

But now, Seoryang feels.

So Yeon-sim was like an older sister. When I didn’t know anything, I didn’t throw myself away because it was a deal, and I helped a lot in various ways.

In a way, So Yeon-sim could be said to be a person who supported him more passionately than Daehobeop or the Hocheon Demon Emperor from behind the scenes.

“But will it be enough?”

“yes?”

“I mean Salpuri. Would you be satisfied with that?”

Soyeonsim shrugged her shoulders.

“No matter how delicious the food is, if you overeat it, you will get sick or look unsightly. “You will know that food is precious only when you eat it as if you are full or not.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“From that perspective, I think it’s enough.”

“It looks like he went quite crazy.”

“Daehobeop told me that there are no such rare witches.”

“Isn’t that a bit rude?”

“Iknow, right. But if you think about it, it probably means that he went on a rampage that much extravagance.”

Seo-ryang quenched his thirst with a sip of tea.

“The problem is that Myne’s passion for winning and food are completely different.”

“It’s different. But I…”

“For those who live with the devil in their hearts, the desire to win is like an instinct. “It’s like a blind moth rushing towards a fire even though it knows it will kill it.”

“….”

“Wouldn’t it be better to let the instincts engraved in those bones run wild enough to completely burn out the primal fighting spirit so that there won’t be any resentment left behind?”

Soyeonsim’s eyes sparkled.

“What do you mean?”

Xu Liang said calmly.

“I don’t know yet. But you know? Even though it is a time of peace, it does not mean there is no conflict. “It goes without saying that this is a difficult time.”

“….”

“I think it’s a little early to retire like this. “I don’t think it’s time to put down that fist yet.”

So Yeon-sim, who was staring at Seo-ryang, cautiously opened her mouth.

“Master. “I have one question…”

“You mean Dam Sa-yeong.”

“…yes.”

Soyeonsim’s face became serious.

“I think it may be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but… he’s not the type of person to give up like this, is he?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Do you think so too?”

“yes. He is a human being who, even in the face of the absolute power of the previous religious leader, retreated for a moment

and formed a force as if he had never done so before and tried to rule the world again. No matter how much I am being pushed, I don’t think I am a great person who will give up like this.”

“It’s a little different than before. “He didn’t expect me to become this strong, and even his secret strategy to overturn my inferiority in power failed.”

“I apologize, but… the power of the former leader was absolute.

In a situation where it was impossible to even escape, let alone devise a strategy in the first place, he survived and gathered his strength again.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Would you gnash your teeth in anger in the face of typhoons and tsunamis?”

“…!”

“To him, Master was that kind of person. So I was scared, but at the same time, the feeling of defeat was vague. of course. “Because Master was an outsider.”

“The leader…”

“Not me. To him, I am nothing more than a naturally conquerable mountain peak that must be crushed.”

So Yeon-sim’s eyes were cold and alive.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Of course he would think that. “The reality is different.”

“It’s very different. “I have no doubt that the leader is a man who can be counted among the heavenly demons of previous generations.”

“Comparing yourself to incomparable beings means nothing. “What I want to say is that it’s about time he realized the reality.”

“Reality…?”

“Yes, reality. As much as he has a nobler pride than anyone else, his eye for reality is also very good.

“It means that he is different from the countless politicians who do things wrong because of their pride.”

“If you do that, you have failed so far. “Because of that pride alone, we wasted a lot of our troops.”

“That’s right. But I won’t do that anymore.”

“then?”

Seoliang didn’t reply and just sipped his tea.

So Yeon-sim, who was about to open her mouth again, suddenly looked into Seo-ryang’s eyes.

It was clear and calm. It was natural since the level she had achieved was a level, but she felt an abundance of composure and unwavering unwaveringness in Seoryang’s unwavering eyes.

Soyeonsim smiled.

“I talked too much nonsense, didn’t I?”

“A person who only talks about nutritious things is unattractive. “It’s okay.”

“Ho Ho.”

The expression on Seoryang’s face as she smiled at So Yeon-sim was simple.

Seeing that, So Yeon-sim was convinced once again.

‘You are confident.’

Dam Sa-yeong may have actually declared defeat. This does not mean that the possibility is completely ignored.

But even if he appears at an unexpected moment with unexpected power.

Still, the religious leader will not be embarrassed. He will not be shaken.

He just confidently uses everything he has to crush his opponent.

So Yeonsim sighed again.

“It’s a shame.”

“what?”

“I’ve been very busy so far. That’s why I haven’t even received a bottle of Six Thousand Heart Juice from the religious leader.”

“Hey man, you’re not giving those six thousand heart pearls to just anyone.”

“I’m not just anyone.”

“haha! Well, that’s right.”

Xu Liang stood up. So Yeon-sim also rose up following Seo-ryang.

“Anyway, it’s nice to see your face after a long time. Nothing much will happen for a while, so if you’re bored, stop by the palace. “Let’s drink as much as we can.”

“It’s an honor for me. ah! And the leader.”

“hmm?”

Soyeonsim spoke carefully.

“I… I mean the Seven Princesses.”

“Seven princesses? “Is this what Yeomin is talking about?”

“yes.”

“Why Yeomin?”

“They said they haven’t come to Hwanheewon even once since we left the church.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“I guess you’ve been quite busy.”

“I stopped by Juhwa’s residence just in case, but he came back only to be told that Suryun was busy and couldn’t meet him.”

“okay?”

“yes. Of course, I don’t think it’s a lie, but you know the character of the Seven Princesses, right? “No matter how hard he trains, he won’t turn a blind eye to anyone who comes to visit.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“You said that?”

* * *

“Gasp!”

My whole body was soaked with blood and sweat.

The demonic energy he was emitting was unstable and his breathing was excessively intense. I felt a sense of discomfort in my exhaled breath, as if there was a hole in my lungs.

“Huh! Huh! urg!”

Bullfight!

He threw down his boots with an honest step, but the true spirit that came out of his heart was not able to utilize the techniques of Balgyeong at all.

I’m crying!

Chae Yeo-min, who vomited blood once, knelt down on the spot.

It wouldn’t be surprising if I lost consciousness right away. But Chae Yeo-min gritted her teeth and opened her eyes.

It was a strong mentality.

“Iik!”

I tried to keep my shaky legs upright, but they no longer listened to me.

It has gone far beyond what can be solved with mental power. If I moved any further, my life would be in danger.

dump!

Finally, Chae Yeo-min collapsed on the spot.

The training is over. It was over, but she never laid down or relaxed.

Hold on to your spirit until the end and on the spot, look back one by one on the shortcomings of today’s training.

‘Chungbo (??) and Dangsu (??) were too fast. It’s proof that you’re in a hurry. He said that the method of subduing the enemy is as important as killing it.’

Chae Yeo-min is deep in thought.

Seeing her like that, Sodang became restless.

‘You’re really going to have to pay for something like that.’

Still, I couldn’t get closer.

When Chae Yeo-min first attempted such training, Sodang lit up and tried to stop her.

I don’t know what kind of change of heart it was, but the training that Chae Yeo-min promised was overly harsh.

It was difficult for even an adult with a well-trained body to endure, and considering Chae Yeo-min’s age, it was a practice that could have had a negative impact.

however.

‘…’

Sodang swallowed his saliva.

She still couldn’t forget the look in Chae Yeo-min’s eyes as she shouted loudly to stop her.

It was the end with those eyes. Since then, Sodang has been unable to engage in any involvement with Chae Yeo-min.

It shouldn’t have happened, but for the first time, Sodang felt afraid of the person he served.

It was not an intimidating feeling that could be expressed by a child who was infinitely soft and obediently believed and followed what he said.

At that time, Sodang realized.

Why did the Jeondae religious leader take Chae Yeo-min as his disciple?

She had heaven-given talent, the venom to capitalize on that talent, and an innate dignity.

Even Sodang, who took care of Chae Yeo-min the closest, was unaware of the qualities of a king.

Those born with such a destiny, ready to fly higher than anyone else, have finally germinated.

‘Now my role is over.’

Sodang looked at Chae Yeo-min with lonely eyes.

While practicing hard, drastic changes appeared in Chae Yeo-min’s body. Although she was still young, she now looked like a girl of her age.

‘Maybe I… was vicariously satisfied by serving the princess.’

Sodang bit his lip.

The sudden change in the person she had served for several years deeply hurt her. It was a huge wound that has yet to be healed and that I will probably never forget for the rest of my life.

‘You’re disqualified as a maid.’

It was then.

thud. thud.

There was a knock on the front door.

Sodang sighed inwardly.

‘Who else came?’

Sodang cautiously approached Chae Yeo-min and lowered his head.

“I won’t let you in.”

Chae Yeo-min couldn’t even hear her. You have already fallen deeply into yourself.

Thump, thump.

There was a knock on the door again.

Sodang quickly ran to the front door and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know who you are, but you are currently here…”

At that time, a cheerful voice rang outside the gate.

“Is Yeomin there?”
