Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 223 A past that cannot be thrown away, a future that cannot be held on (3)

“Master! Big trouble…!”

“I know.”

Lee Cheon-sang, standing in the pavilion, looking at the quiet pond with his back to me, still looked drowsy.

Ho Yo-seong, who was breathing heavily, calmed down after seeing Lee Cheon-sang like that. He was calmer than anyone else in front of others, but in front of Lee Cheon-sang, he was just an ordinary person.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Huo Yaosheng lowered his head.

“Have you received the report?”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes wavered.

Even though they say they received the report, no action is taken. It could be said that it was indeed a world-like situation, but this time the weight of the situation was different.

This sudden suicide attack almost killed all of Lee Cheon-sang’s disciples.

This was a different issue from a simple succession battle. The succession struggle between disciples can be seen as a fight between tigers to become king, but this situation is like being attacked by wolves with fangs.

It must never stay like this.

“The remaining remnants must be captured immediately.”

“I guess so.”

“…Master?”

Lee Cheon-sang pointed to his side with his hand.

“sideways.”

Hu Yaosheng carefully moved there.

Only then did Lee Cheon-sang turn his head.

“I’m thinking about it.”

“Even if you ask me why…”

“I’m thinking about it. “Should I make the third child my successor immediately or wait until the Passunje?”

Hu Yaosheng was surprised.

“Master?”

Lee Cheon-sang turned his head again and looked at the pond.

The movements of the carp swimming around in the pond are very lively.

“It looks like the succession battle is over.”

“….”

“If we wait more time, there won’t be anyone better than the third. “He has clearly proven himself so far, so the third is the perfect successor.”

That is correct. It’s true, but there’s no need to bring it up now. At least that’s what Hu Yaosheng thought.

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“I’ve been thinking about it. “About the way I neglected my kids.”

“…?”

“I don’t think it’s wrong. Even if I was wrong, I don’t regret it. “I grazed as I wanted in the first place, so it’s meaningless to discuss right and wrong.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes wavered.

I have never seen Lee Cheon-sang look like this before. Looking back on his past and wondering whether it was right was something that did not suit Lee Cheon-sang.

“But I think things should be a little different from now on.”

“Master.”

“The reason I thought this way is simple.”

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose. It was a laugh whose meaning was difficult to understand.

“Because I don’t think there’s any need to leave the third child like this anymore.”

“….”

“As I said, the third one has already proven himself worthy of me. Not only does he achieve the speed of development, he is somewhat unconventional in handling work, but he has a knack for turning situations to his advantage.”

“….”

“It is difficult to meet such a person twice. “I have seen many moments where I doubt whether I can do the same.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shone.

“I didn’t even want it to be clean. None of my disciples can do it as well as I can. But the third one is different.”

“…Sir.”

“He is not without his shortcomings, but he is a child who can turn Cheongchuleoram’s story into reality if he is groomed well.”

Hu Yaosheng bowed his head again.

“I didn’t know that the sect leader thought so highly of the Three Dukes.”

“He is a child who deserves high praise. “His words and actions are somewhat light, so his strengths do not stand out as much.”

Lee Cheon-sang closed his eyes.

Even though his eyes are closed, he still seems to be looking at everything in the world. I feel like I can see and feel Hoyaoseong, Seoryangdo, and all the beings living in this world.

“It’s been a lot of fun watching him grow and how he handles things. Those moments made a huge impact in my desolate heart. So even though I knew he was qualified, I couldn’t stop him.”

“…!”

“But it won’t work anymore. Leaving him like this is nothing but pointless harassment. “It would be better to do something more productive with that time.”

It was finally the moment when Lee Cheon-sang completely recognized Seo-ryang.

“Total military.”

“Yes, leader.”

Flash!

When Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes again, his magical eyes were burning more than ever.

“I will give you full command of the Ten Armies of the Heavenly Demon. “If there is anyone who causes trouble in the future due to the third past, I will announce that the former clan will be destroyed.”

A look of upheaval appeared on Hu Yaosheng’s face.

“Let’s catch them all.”

“Jonmyeong!”

* * *

“I see.”

“….”

“What about the casualties?”

“All the main characters are safe. However, it is said that some of the servants and most of the guard warriors who stayed in the residence of the five princesses, six princesses, and seven princesses did not escape instant death.”

“….”

“I guess that was the binge-drinking trick he was talking about.”

“….”

“…and.”

Gogu is uncharacteristically hesitant.

Soon he sighed and said.

“Public opinion… is not good.”

“….”

“The bad rumors about the Three Dukes are spreading like a snowball. “The story of the Three Dukes’ past and why this happened has spread beyond the inner city to the outer city.”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly.

“After all, not all of them are dead.”

“I think so. “Judging by the speed at which the rumor is spreading, it seems clear that the remaining people used a trick.”

Mokbi died and Jamiru collapsed. The residences of Joo Seo-yoon, Jong Li-yeong, and Chae Yeo-min were destroyed, and their servants and bodyguards were killed.

It was from then on that negative rumors about Seoliang began to spread. The leader of the group that gathered to destroy Seoliang was Mok Fei, but his death did not mean the fight was over.

Rather, his death became the trigger. Mokbi had planned this far while waiting for Seoryang.

“Jin Gwan-yong’s subordinates are probably comrades who share the same views as Mo Fei. “Among them, the number of those who did not die from Dongpil’s sword and were not caught in the penal court was three.”

Seoyang took out a document from his arms. It was a copy of an information document containing his past given by Ho Yo-seong.

Grumbling.

The document was reduced to ashes by the flames of Sangma Evolution.

“The number of people I harassed in the past is over 50. There’s no way there were only three left. “There are probably people like Song Gyeong who joined late, so there must have been at least ten more left.”

“I think so too.”

Xu Liang leaned his head against the wall.

Although he protected the entire party with Guyumagong’s absolute defense, he was unable to protect himself. There were no major injuries, but the poison was severe enough to melt a person in the blink of an eye.

If he hadn’t reached the ultimate level, if he hadn’t completed the Guyu Demon Gong, no matter how he was, he wouldn’t have survived.

‘I’m tired.’

It’s not even a big wound. Since he received good treatment at the blood soul, most of the internal and external injuries will have healed in four days. Even when I was injured more seriously, I never felt this tired.

The mind is exhausted.

If you want to turn away, you can turn away, but Seo-ryang did not turn away. However, because it was an unforgettable act that I could not remember, the mental fatigue was extreme.

Seeing Seoryang with his eyes closed, Gogu opened his mouth again.

“Do you still want to be the leader?”

“….”

“If you don’t change your mind, I hope you stay strong. “The eyes of the demons will not be as favorable as before.”

“doesn’t care.”

“….”

“I don’t pay much attention to that part. Besides, what Mokbi wanted in the first place was not to push me around with public opinion.”

Mine are people too? Many people will agree.

However, even such a person would not agree with the statement that the Heavenly Demon God Church is also a martial arts faction.

Even though it is much more backward than the previous generation, the Church of the Heavenly Demon is still the Church of the Heavenly Demon. Mine knows how to be angry at other people’s vices, but it’s a different story if that person is the one who will become the head of the Protestant Church.

The head of Shingyo is the person who received the fortune of Passun.

Then, the moment a person becomes a leader, his or her past becomes meaningless. Because of that, I think we have no choice but to accept that fate is what it is, even if many people have seen blood.

That is the gaze of the demons belonging to the Cheonma Shingyo High School and the head temple of the Demonic Murim. This is also the reason why Guan Pyeong and Hong Wi-moon were able to go on such a wild rampage.

Of course, there are many people who don’t think that way. But what’s important is the atmosphere.

Even if you have committed evil deeds that reek of blood in the past, if you can create a bright future for yourself, that will offset your bad karma.

The Church of the Heavenly Demon God and the Demonic Murim are a world where such people rule.

“Isn’t it to drive public opinion?”

“okay.”

“Then why are you planning this?”

“Now that I have come this far, the power of public opinion cannot shake me. But the leaders who will work with me to run the monster called Shingyo are different.”

“…!”

“They are demons and beasts at the same time. “It can be said that they are much more awake than ordinary Christians.”

Xiliang sighed.

“That little difference can cause a big breakdown later. Even if I become the leader of a religious cult, there may always be one person who reveals past mistakes. “I cursed him to live with such anxiety.”

“…You thought that far?”

“I don’t know that. It’s just that the results can turn out that way. “There is a real reason why I am convinced.”

“The real reason? “What is that again?”

“Proof of existence.”

Gogu exclaimed.

“They weren’t strong, but they were still magic. That’s why I didn’t like it. That I can’t remember. “They didn’t want their own family members’ deaths to become dog deaths that couldn’t even be recorded in historical records.”

“….”

“The reason why you tried to kill me was because you wanted to let the world know the justification for that act.”

“Such…”

“Not for themselves, but for their family.”

Gogu sighed.

When I thought about it, it was completely understandable.

Now, Xiliang has become a monster that can no longer be touched. He was the next demon god who received not only skill and position, but also the cult leader’s favor.

Bringing down such generosity?

impossible. Such a method cannot and should not exist. I would rather kill him myself, but I am not a person who can be brought down by someone else’s hand.

This is a situation where I can’t do anything. I want to take revenge, but even if I do, it won’t cause much damage.

Then there is only one option they can choose.

It is remembered right away.

“In fact, even if you put aside the trivial reasons, they probably couldn’t stay still. Because…”

Seoliang smiled bitterly.

“Because the enemy who killed my family is still alive.”

In the end, that’s what matters most.

They found no way to live other than revenge. Probably anyone would.

So, I have no choice but to become a rich moth. They knew they too would die, but they had no choice but to live that way, so they did this.

Gogu’s eyes deepened.

“I feel once again that the Three Dukes were really bad people.”

“…I think so.”

“But what about now?”

Xiliang looked at Gogu.

Gogu continued speaking clearly.

“I think the Three Dukes are dangerous. Actually, I can’t say that it’s still not annoying. As the head of the criminal court, the Three Dukes are a very troublesome person who I can’t leave alone or touch.”

“I guess so.”

“But I know at least one thing.”

“what.”

“That you will not commit the mistakes of the past again in the future.”

Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.

I never thought I would hear these words from Gogu and no one else. And surprisingly, when I heard Gogu’s words, I felt that my complicated mind was greatly relieved.

“So stop making that rotten face and take some decoction.”

“…You don’t even have the manners to talk to the three princes.”

“It wasn’t just once or twice, was it?”

The two people looked at each other and smiled.

At that time, the sound of a carriage rolling was heard from the other side of the window.

“Huh? Isn’t that the demon palace carriage?”

“I guess so.”

Xu Liang closed his eyes again.

“Damn, I don’t want to see the leader at a time like this.”
