Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 188 The way of non-humans (2)

I came to see the Three Dukes.

This is a phrase that can be interpreted in many ways. However, someone of Hao Wen’s lesser rank would not have come just to see his face.

“You came to see me… This is heating up the mood again.”

Xiliang leaned his upper body forward. It was an attitude of wanting to start an active conversation.

“Now that we’ve come to this, shall we create a space for open and honest conversation? “Let’s put aside the issue of the family head for a moment.”

“great.”

Seo-ryang smiled. He looked like he was having fun just thinking about it.

Gong Yachi’s eyes deepened.

He sat cross-legged, placed his right hand on his knee, and bent his upper body. A subtle dignity was evident in the way he caressed his chin with his left hand as if interested.

It may not have been intentional. It was just that the atmosphere of Seoryang was different from others.

Would it be said that it is closer to the dignity of an absolute person who pursues the world alone, rather than the dignity of a supreme king who seeks to keep all the people of the world under his feet?

Gong Yachi said.

“I don’t know if you know, but Guangdong is the only place in Haomun where we have not been able to establish a branch. “There are a few branches hidden in the western end of Guangxi Province, but compared to other regions, it is embarrassing to even call them branches.”

“I heard.”

“And the reason, as you might have guessed, is because I didn’t want to get on your nerves.”

“so?”

“I’ll tell you straight. “We would like to establish branches of the text in Guangxi and Guangdong provinces.”

Saaaaagh.

A terrifying demonic energy rose from Ma Dong-pil’s body.

Xu Liang raised his hand. Then the demonic energy disappeared as if it had been washed away.

Gong Yachi’s eyes sank. Although he didn’t look back at Ma Dong-pil, he was very surprised.

‘It’s an amazing martial arts skill. ‘Are you saying that the skills of a mere bodyguard are this much?’

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“You got the wrong person. If you really wanted that, you should have contacted the religious leader or the commander-in-chief, not me.”

“I know.”

“What does it mean that you came to me even though you knew?”

Gong Yachi was silent for a moment.

Seo-ryang’s smile deepened.

“If you’re asking me to use my power….”

“Uicheonmaeng.”

“hmm?”

“I don’t know about Iron Blood Castle. But Uicheonmaeng is certain.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Three Dukes hate Uicheon Meng.”

“…!”

Gong Yachi’s eyes narrowed.

“Isn’t it?”

It was a businesslike yet aggressive tone.

Xu Liang tilted his head to one side. He was still smiling as he watched Gong Yachi, but his eyes were slowly becoming colder.

“Why did you think that?”

“We are controlling and shaking up information throughout the central region. However, I think there is only a handful of information about the Church of the Heavenly Demon.”

“….”

“And most of it is information about the Three Dukes.”

Ma Dong-pil’s thumb moved.

Crash.

The black sword body of the Ink King Sword slowly raised its head. The intention was to cut it down with one sword if it failed.

Xu Liang nodded.

“continue.”

“Over the past year, Samgongja has been exposed to the midfield quite a lot. “The frequency was so high that it could be said to be unusual, considering the position of the Heavenly Demon Church, which had not interfered much with Kanghosa for over 30 years.”

“is it?”

“The first time the Three Dukes appeared was when they clashed with a tribe of the Beast Palace near Hunan and Jiangxi.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“It did.”

It was a time when I was struggling to somehow escape from Protestantism. It was also the time when I secretly moved in a transport vehicle at the request of Hwanhee Wonju So Yeon-sim.

“There, the Three Dukes killed Jeong Il-ryong, the leader of the Uicheon Alliance.”

That’s amazing.

Xu Liang was purely amazed.

“Did you know that?”

“That’s right.”

The demons were dispatched and all traces of the battle were erased. Naturally, there were no civilians or warriors in the vicinity.

But Hao Wen knew that. I couldn’t even imagine the extent of their information power.

“Sam Gongja, who returned to Gyo, then came to Honam as a special inspector. “It was to look around Madochilga, which was the subject of inspection.”

“It did.”

Most of the Madochil family belonged to the Honam region. However, the main headquarters of Protestantism was in Guangdong and Guangxi.

It is no exaggeration to say that Honam is also tightly controlled by Mado Murim, but the intimidation of Shingyo has decreased somewhat. This was the reason why there were many branches of Hao Mun in Honam.

“It is Master Moon’s assessment that he showed an impressive performance there. “There is little information about Shingyo’s successors, but the Three Dukes said that in all likelihood, they are people who will become the nucleus of the succession battle.”

“It’s an honor.”

“And there I ran into a sword archer. Furthermore, not long ago, I ran into the Beast Palace again.”

Xu Liang was speechless.

“I don’t know if you have guessed, but the Beast Palace, the Sword Palace, and the Heavenly Dragon Palace are joining hands with the Ui Heavenly Alliance. “The three princes blocked the advancement of the two palaces that trained with Uicheonmaeng to the central plains.”

Uicheonmaeng and Samgung joined hands.

Gong Yachi confirmed that fact. Guessing and certainty are different in their weight, and in a calm conversation, he delivered information that is difficult to evaluate.

“so?”

“The problem is Jeong Il-ryong.”

Gong Yachi’s eyes lit up.

“Jeong Il-ryong is a man full of corruption. Without the leader’s knowledge, he had even made a secret pact with the successor of the Beast Palace. However, from the perspective of the three princes, there was no need to try to kill Jeong Il-ryong.”

Because he is a leader of a hostile force?

Not like that. Rather, since he is a leader of the hostile forces, he should not clash. This is because one collision can come back as a terrible aftereffect.

Determining whether a person has stood at the center of an era or not is only a consequential evaluation. If there was any sense, the two should never have collided in the first place.

“You could just dismiss it as a coincidence. Maybe it was something the head of your school told you to do. But I don’t think so.”

“Why do you think that?”

“The warriors say: They say you can smell energy. The same goes for merchants who deal with information. “You can smell a million different things from simple information.”

“I’m not sure.”

“Hao Wen thinks so.”

“Are you different?”

“yes. And now, after seeing the Three Confucius, I am convinced that my thoughts were not wrong.”

Is this fun?

Seoyang relaxed his posture.

“I know how proud you are. So what do you want to say? Are you going to establish a branch in Guangdong, Guangxi, through me?”

“That’s right.”

It’s not about simply putting up a building. Establishing a branch means actively seeking information from Guangdong and Guangxi.

“It’s a deal, so to speak.”

“That’s right.”

“But I don’t have the authority to do that. “What if I become the leader of the cult?”

Gong Yachi’s eyes lit up.

“I guess so.”

Seoliang, who was looking at Gong Yachi quietly, laughed.

“Is it because I have lived such a rough life? “I always end up attracting dangerous people around me.”

“….”

“Does this mean you will help me become the leader of the cult?”

“It’s similar.”

“If it’s right, it’s right, if not, it’s not. What’s similar?”

Seoryang and Ma Dongpil were shocked by Gong Yachi’s calm words that followed.

“If the Uicheon Maeng disappears under the leadership of the Three Dukes, the probability that the Three Dukes will be confirmed as the next successor will increase.”

“…!”

“I did not come because I wanted the Three Dukes to become the leader of a religious sect. “I came because I needed the ‘anger’ of the Three Dukes who hate Uicheon Meng.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

Gong Yachi stood up.

“I didn’t come here to get a definite answer right now. Please think about it before you leave.”

“hmm.”

“And I will accept the case of Danggaju. Let us take charge of the new recruits. “I will pay the price right here and now with my own life.”

That night.

Seoyang sat on the stone wall of the pond next to the small pavilion and looked up at the sky. It was a very beautiful night with twinkling stars.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at the stars, sighed in an uncharacteristic way.

“Why is it so messy?”

He killed the beast palace lord and even attacked the Tang family troops.

There was no need to encounter the Beast Palace Lord in the first place. I formed an alliance with the Lord of the Ice Palace and went only to rescue my younger sister as the beginning of that alliance.

Of course, it also contributed to weakening the power of the Uicheon Alliance. So I provoked him without hesitation and even thought about burying him.

Although it was a bit rough, the job was completed well and now all that was left was to go back. But suddenly, a man named Somunju from Haomun comes and asks to form an alliance again.

“It’s nothing complicated, but there are a lot of things to worry about. “I’ve never had anything like this in my past life.”

Because I have lived only as a tool.

A life of just doing what you are told and a life of leading a life are completely different. Although he has a lot of experience as a strong player and is quick-witted, he has come this far, but his head is slowly starting to become heavy.

‘I just want to destroy all those bastards.’

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“Let’s not complain again. “You knew it wasn’t easy to kill them.”

Rather, I should be thankful. They reach out their hands like this on their own.

At that time, a calm voice came from behind.

“I don’t know who it is, but I won’t be able to sleep well if I know that I’m the target of those bastards.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“You shouldn’t know. Because it’s obvious that we need to prepare.”

“Whether you prepare or not, isn’t it true that you push ahead first?”

“What the hell. “Are you saying you know a lot about me just because we worked together once?”

“I just thought so. “I apologize if I offended you.”

“What’s there to feel bad about? “Anyone can make an assessment, whether it’s a beggar in a back alley or a three-year-old child.”

“As expected, the three gongzi are great.”

“I appreciate the compliment. sit down.”

Yeo Kang-hwi sat next to Seo-ryang.

“How is your little brother?”

“It’s a lot better than I thought. “I felt a little weak, but that will get better over time.”

“Still, pay attention. What the Beast Palace guys messed with was the top battle. “Do you know how sensitive and important that area is?”

“yes. But no worries.”

Seeing him say it this way, it definitely seemed like he was okay. Perhaps, in the martial arts of Binggung, there is a Jeolhak that specializes in managing Dandanjeon.

Yeo Kang-hwi handed a bottle of alcohol to Seo-ryang.

“Would you like a sip?”

“You made it cold?”

“yes. “The scent is too strong.”

“It’s good.”

Seo-ryang took a gulp of alcohol.

“What a toxic guy.”

“I don’t know his name, but he’s no ordinary guy. I am also drinking it little by little. “I felt like I would have a heart attack if I emptied the whole thing.”

Seo-ryang asked, handing Yeo Kang-hwi a bottle of alcohol.

“Are you going to the ice palace now?”

“I think so.”

“Okay, tell it to your sister. “From now on, be careful not to snoop around and get kidnapped.”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.

“The Three Dukes will protect you, so what are you worried about?”

“Eh?”

“Don’t you remember? “Our deal.”

“ah!”

Xiliang scratched his head.

“Hey, anyway, isn’t that too cold-hearted? How long has it been since you rescued someone who was taken hostage? Are you sending it to me? “I like it. It’s a symbol of alliance. What’s the difference between a hostage and a hostage?”

“It is up to the three princes whether my sister becomes a hostage or not.”

“That’s true. “Did you say your brother was okay?”

“Lin also agreed to this.”

“I guess they’re brother and sister, but they look just like their older brother in terms of strength.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“It’s not a compliment, you idiot.”

Yeo Kang-hwi, who was staring at Seoryang, stood up from his seat.

Xu Liang spoke without even looking up at him.

“bye.”

“yes. But we will see you again soon.”

“That’s right. “You have to help me become the successor, right?”

“haha.”

Yeo Kang-hwi turned around.

I wanted to talk about Yuri Potential Great Law, but I stopped. Today, Seoliang looked somehow tired.

He’ll tell you if you need it.

“thanked.”

“Okay, from now on, please do something for me to be thankful for.”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled faintly.

“Don’t forget. “You will see soon.”

Following Jang Chu, Yeo Kang-hwi also left.

Xiliang looked up at the sky again.

“…Well, this is enough rest.”

He slapped my cheek loudly with both hands.

“I have to try running again!”

* * *

A few days later.

Seoliang walked in front of the lined up Gwangmadae.

“I’m hungry. Let’s go get some home-cooked food.”

It was the morning of exactly thirty days after the decisive battle with the Nanman Beast Palace was concluded.
