Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 588

Episode 588 There is no play (6)

“He will come out into the world?”

“exactly.”

“…Why are you telling this to this person?”

“There is no particular reason. I am not making an effort to show it to my subordinates, but I think it will give some energy to you who are still unable to erase the confusion.”

“….”

“I hope you don’t misunderstand. It’s okay for the head of the family as well as all the prosecutors under his command to stay here forever.”

“That can’t be possible. We have received a favor that is difficult to repay, but in the end, we and the castle are fundamentally different.”

“Isn’t that the same for the Heavenly Demon Church?”

“That’s right.”

“You admit it right away.”

“But I, and my late father, also have faith in the Seo sect leader. It may sound arrogant, but I do not trust the Seongju as much as the Seo sect leader.”

“I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but if the Lord of the castle heard that, he would be quite upset.”

“That’s why I’m talking to you, a soldier.”

“ha ha ha!”

“I don’t like saying this, but I will definitely repay the favor I received.”

“Even if I tell you not to pay it back, you will pay it back somehow, right?”

“It would be better for you to pay back as much as possible.”

“You know us well.”

“There is no reason to refuse a thousand gold just to show me the distribution.”

“…That’s right. But I didn’t know the matriarch would say something like that.”

“Is that so? I guess it’s one of two things. Either they misread me or I’ve changed.”

“What do you think, matriarch?”

“I don’t want to think about it.”

“I understand one thing. The head of the family is still quite mentally tired. No, rather, the fatigue is only increasing as time passes.”

“….”

“I won’t even pretend to understand or give meaningless words of encouragement. However, the name of Namgung (??) is still honored.

The reputation of courage and courage that your family has built up over hundreds of years is absolutely not something that can be destroyed in a short period of time. It’s not that.”

“Stop it.”

“So go.”

“…?”

“Go and meet him. Meet him and get the answer.”

“Are you sure that Master Seo will give me an answer?”

“I’m not sure. But the matriarch didn’t find the answer while she was staying here, right?”

“…!”

“I don’t want to admit it, but Yeomramasin, the current leader of the Heavenly Demon Church,

trained martial arts so powerful that he could be compared to any other cult leader in history, excluding the previous cult leaders. The Lord Seong said that he also realized a principle as high as the martial arts.”

“….”

“And doesn’t the head of the family have some kind of relationship with the head of the Seo clan? I don’t know why the head of the Seo clan came to this world, but if the head of the family comes to visit, I won’t treat him poorly.”

“…Why are you so nice to me?”

“hmm?”

“Whether it is a political sect, a sect, or a demonic sect, the nature of the faction will ultimately differ depending on the character and politics of the leader.

However, the castle of your hometown is outside the sect’s main sect. And Namgung is a stone’s throw away from the Iron Blood Fortress. For the sake of the future, we will not disappear. It would be beneficial.”

“Haha, if I had thought that way, I wouldn’t have accepted you in the first place.”

“It was a situation that we had no choice but to accept, right?”

“Well, if you say that, I have nothing to say.”

“What is the reason? Why are you so good to me, or to us?”

“Well, it’s really difficult to explain the reason. Besides, I’m a soldier. I’m not the lord of the castle.”

“….”

“I can just tell you this one thing.”

“…?”

“We don’t want any more fighting.”

“…!”

“Even if the Celestial Demon God Church truly forms the Demon World, we will not fight against them.

In fact, we do not have the strength to fight, and we do not want to cause any more trouble and harm ourselves.”

“…is it.”

“That’s right. As proof of that, we have already joined hands with the Protestant general.”

“…!!”

“You seem surprised. But I can’t help it. The power of the Heavenly Demon Church is the greatest of all time.

Wouldn’t it be a much greater benefit to join hands and coexist rather than forcibly stop them as they stand on the verge of conquering the world of magic?”

“I guess so.”

“exactly.”

“I’m sorry. I offended Emperor Hwang with my somewhat sharp words and actions.”

“Hahaha! I’m not upset at all. It’s true, if the Seo leader hadn’t come to help us at that time, Iron Blood Castle would have walked the path of destruction.”

“….”

“The turbulent period that led to fighting has already passed. Now is the time for recovery. The tribulation in the Central Plains has entered its final stages, so let’s help those who have come down from the fighting.”

“…What do you mean?”

“hmm?”

“Does that mean that the tribulation in the central plains is not over yet?”

“Dam Sa-young is alive, right?”

“…!!”

“You didn’t know? Well, you must have been so distracted that you didn’t even think about it.”

“Then why did the religious leader come into the world…?”

“I don’t know the exact reason. Who can look into his heart?

However, I don’t think that Seo Seo-ju, who has not even seen Dam Sa-yeong’s body, will feel free to create an empire just because he received the declaration of defeat.”

“….”

“Well, I’ve had a long talk. Let’s go now. I’ve prepared travel expenses and a war horse in advance.”

“…Thank you.”

“Just repay the debt and that’s enough.”

“Now that we’re talking, let’s ask for one more thing.”

“I will take good care of my family.”

“….”

“Please come back.”

“then.”

It was a quiet journey.

The inside of the Cheonma’s carriage was truly quiet. Perhaps because it was so well made, it has not had any repairs and has not had any problems since it has traveled thousands of miles.

Zhu Qing had his eyes closed most of the day, probably because he had a lot on his mind. I couldn’t tell if I was meditating or sleeping.

Seo-ryang also often looked out the window and got lost in thought, and Chae Yeo-min, who was the most talkative, was also absorbed in martial arts and spent all day meditating.

Joo Seo-yoon and Jong Li-young were not lively personalities to begin with, so the carriage was often quiet as if there was no one around.

We ate when the time came, and stopped the carriage every two hours to rest. Amazingly, the horses pulling the carriage ran a thousand miles without eating much fodder.

How many more days have passed like that?

“hmm.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“That’s interesting.”

Joo Seo-yoon looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“yes?”

“I thought that the information network over there was now obsolete. But it still flew and crawled for hundreds of years.”

“What do you mean?”

At that time, Ma Dong-pil’s voice was heard from the coachman’s seat.

“Master.”

“Know.”

“What should I do?”

“We’re supposed to meet at least once anyway. Just keep going.”

“All right.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes sparkled.

“Maybe an enemy?”

Xu Liang smiled coldly.

“Well, that’s right. If you pull out a sword, I will kill you. If you make a fuss, I will crush you. If you talk back, I will kick your ass.”

“…Where is it?”

“Sacheondanga.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s face was filled with surprise.

“We haven’t even entered Sacheon yet?”

It wasn’t even in the direction of Sacheon. Seoliang had planned to enter Sacheon after meeting at Gwanpyeong.

Nevertheless, the party came to visit first?

“It’s always been like that. Even during Sogyo, there were many times when I would play in the midfield and the opponent would be caught off guard.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“In the end, things in the world rarely turn out the way I want. That doesn’t change even after reaching this level.”

Things in the world are not as I feel. In that case, we just try to calmly accept even unimaginable variables as long as they are controllable.

And Seoryang was now in a position where he would not be surprised if any variables arose.

“They are the ones who should be destroyed first.”

There was a clear look of displeasure on Zhu Qing’s face.

“The Tang family is a family that made firearms in violation of national laws even when the influence of the empire was strong in the past. They

even made fireworks, which was banned by the country, and were one of the most vicious among the martial people. It was.”

“Was it like that?”

“I guess I didn’t know. There is a book called Thousand Years of Imperial History in the imperial palace library. It has

over 300 volumes. If you look at the Annals of the Emperor among them, you can see all the illegal activities committed by those Tang people. “It’s full of human history.”

“Hoo? Even when the empire was strong, it caused such a mess… And yet you left the Tang family alone?”

“That can’t be possible. The imperial palace has destroyed the Tang family many times over the generations. But they were as cunning as rats and as venomous as any poisonous snake.”

“I couldn’t pull out the roots.”

“They made a fortune through all kinds of illegal means, including human trafficking, and used that wealth to make poisons and memorized firearms. I

am guessing that they originally intended to create another armed nation, not the martial arts nation.”

“oh…?”

“They say that after repeating extinction and expansion for generations, they gave up on establishing a nation and went back to martial arts.

Of course, I haven’t actually seen it, but the Annals of the Emperor is notorious for its extremely realistic descriptions. It’s very likely true. .”

“Notoriety?”

“Notorious to the emperors. Every single detail of the emperor, who is said to be the representative of heaven, is written down.”

“That’s amazing.”

Zhou Qing frowned.

“Those guys joined hands with someone like Dam Sa-yeong. I don’t know about other factions, but those from the Tang family would not have joined Dam Sa-yeong’s command. At best, they would be allies.”

“Those bastards’ pride is like a national treasure.”

“Be careful. Aren’t you the strongest martial artist of the time? I don’t know what your purpose is, but you must have come to see it because you are confident.”

“You are confident and want revenge.”

“plural?”

“During my days at the elementary school, I captured several party leaders. The family leader was put to death. Unfortunately, he did not die by my hands.”

Zhou Qing’s eyes wavered.

“…I’m going to rush at those damned bastards.”

His words became reality.

Coogugung.

The carriage stopped.

At the same time, a loud voice echoed throughout the mountain path.

“The rare evil sect’s demon cult leader must reveal himself immediately!!”

It was a voice full of power. However, on the other hand, it was a voice that felt more aged than expected.

Even though it is clearly an old man’s voice, it feels as strong as steel.

“It’s not enough to shake the world, so I dare to ask the party question…!!”

It was then.

Kwaaaaang!

The old man’s voice was drowned out by a terrifying explosion of alcohol.

Ma Dong-pil, who was sitting on the coach seat, was suddenly standing proudly with the black blood demon sword drawn.

“I will pay with my life for my disrespect towards the leader. Don’t hide and squeak like a rat, but come crawl out in front of me right now.”

“…You brat!!”

Burss!

An old man with a proud physique appeared from beyond the mountain path.

The old man with a pure white beard and flowing white hair was showing his age. It was not easy to guess his age.

However, the energy radiating from his whole body was so explosive that it did not match his wrinkle-filled face.

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes deepened.

“Master.”

Seo-ryang’s voice came from inside the carriage.

“Except that old man. And there are a total of seventy-two people. Judging from the foul smell, it looks like they brought explosives.”

“…”

“What are you going to do?”

It roared.

Blood-red flames flickered on the black blood demon sword, and a roar that could not be attributed to an animal or a monster was heard.

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes lit up.

“They’re just a bunch of dogs. There’s no need to reveal your identity.”
