Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 225 A past that cannot be thrown away, a future that cannot be grasped (5)

Coogung!

Gogu’s eyes sparkled.

A strong vibration felt from far away. The clash of demonic energy, which was difficult to feel except for Gogu, signaled the beginning of a terrifying battle.

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“Are you going to fight against the Three Dukes?”

This guy knows everything without even looking.

Gogu nodded.

“I guess so.”

“great. “I heard that the formation surrounding the Demon God’s Palace eliminates much of the shock wave.”

“The leader has reached a level that we cannot even dare to guess. “The three gongja who are dealing with him are also experts who have reached the extreme level, so it is only natural that this level of shock will be caused.”

“As expected, you know very well.”

“….”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “There was no other intention.”

“I know.”

Ho Yo-seong, who was quietly looking down at Datak, shook his head.

“Well, I guess that won’t work today.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m going to stop working today and have a drink.”

He said he would start drinking in broad daylight. It’s almost inevitable that people will call him negligent in his duties, but if the target is Ho Yo-seong, everyone has no choice but to keep quiet.

“Are you very busy these days too?”

The sight of his body trembling as if he was fed up is a sight to behold.

“Don’t even talk. It is said that the position of general military officer is bound to be busy, but hasn’t everything happened especially recently? “It’s not that hard to figure out whether to fix this or that.”

“Right.”

Most of the recent incidents on campus are due to Seoryang. Although it was precisely because of the succession battle, it was Seoryang who fought and poured fuel on the fiery battle.

As for Ho Ya-seong, Seo-ryang is the person whom he really wants to throw insults at.

“Master, would you like a drink too?”

“Good.”

“uh? How amazing.”

“What do you mean?”

“I knew you would say this. ‘I have no hobby of drinking alcohol while working. If you want to drink it, just drink it.’ “Like this.”

The exaggerated imitation of Gogu’s voice is comical.

It was a joke that made people laugh, but Gogu did not laugh. Ho Yo-seong scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“I may be a bit fair.”

“I know.”

“….”

“….”

“Oh liquid? Geomnamchun? “What can I get you?”

“Give me anything.”

“great!”

Ho Yo-seong, who brought a large bottle of alcohol with a happy face, shook the bottle.

“Oh, it’s decreased a bit? “I guess I’ll have to save it again.”

When I looked at him, it seemed like he usually drank a glass of wine while working. Gogu, who was contemplating whether to fire her for neglecting her duties, gave up her worries as she smelled the liquor rising from the glass.

“Let’s have a drink!”

The two people coolly emptied their glasses.

Hu Yaosheng’s face turned red. On the other hand, Gogu’s face was fine.

“If you drink it when you’re tired, you’ll get a kick out of it. Very good. “I’ll just get drunk and sleep all day.”

“It’s a well-aged liquor.”

“No problem. This is the alcohol I got after asking the religious leader. “I’m not giving this to anyone.”

“Thank you.”

“Kyaha! “I didn’t mean to say thank you.”

Several orders of alcohol were passed around like that.

“How was it?”

“What do you mean?”

“To be exact, when Lord Song approached you, were you tempted by his words?”

Suddenly, a dangerous question arises.

But is it because the atmosphere is soft? The question doesn’t sound that dangerous or aggressive.

Gogu calmly nodded.

“It was hard.”

Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.

“That’s amazing. Are you acknowledging that?”

“If you decide to answer a question, I think it’s best to be honest.”

This is another unexpected answer. Any Gogu I had seen so far would have either not responded at all or said it was none of his business.

‘Is it because I clashed with the Three Dukes a lot? This person has changed a lot too.’

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“That is correct. “If you answer honestly, I don’t know what to do.”

“What about the general military?”

“yes? Me?”

“By organizing a drinking party like this, you are evaluating me as a possible threat, right?”

“….”

“Do you look okay?”

Hu Yaocheng’s eyes as he looked at Gogu became a little more serious.

“Did you know?”

“exactly.”

“Haha, this is embarrassing. Since the head of the family gave an honest answer, I should also be honest, right?”

“Sure.”

“My desire to have a drink with the head of the family was sincere. I didn’t ask to drink because I wanted to find out the true intentions of the head of the family. And…”

Ho Yo-seong smiled and nodded.

“It looks okay. “I still have ambition in my heart, but I also know that that ambition is nothing more than dross.”

“….”

“It looks like he was impressed by the Three Dukes.”

There is no way you would be happy about having your true feelings revealed to others.

The same was true for Gogu. But he didn’t react much.

Because that is true.

Gogu, who emptied his glass without saying a word, opened his mouth.

“Sam Gongja is a great person.”

“What can I say?”

“It’s even more amazing because he doesn’t have any regrets about being the leader. “If it were me, no matter how big my dream was, I wouldn’t be able to brush it off without regret.”

“…Ohh? “You have no regrets about being the head of a religious cult?”

“You didn’t know?”

“Of course. There is a lot of talk about a genius soldier who sits and sees a thousand miles and comes up with living strategies, but I am also a human being. “You won’t know unless you talk to them in person.”

He’s also secretly bragging about himself.

Ho Yo-seong bent his upper body forward as if he was genuinely curious.

“Did the Three Dukes do that? “You’re not very interested in the position of leader?”

“If you didn’t know, I wouldn’t say more about that.”

“They say you’re not guilty even if you curse the emperor in a place where no one is watching. Let’s have a chat over drinks. “Did you really do that?”

“Please pour me a drink.”

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t follow you.”

widely.

“…all right. I understand. “Why are you putting down your glass?”

“….”

“Tch, you’re not having fun.”

Ho Yo-seong, who was filling his glass with regret, snapped his fingers as if he suddenly remembered something.

“Now that I think about it, where is Gwanpyeong?”

“It’s in a special room in the basement of the criminal court.”

The person who died on the day of the execution was not Gwanpyeong, but an attendant of Jin Gwan-yong dressed up as Gwanpyeong. He was also a subordinate of Gwanpyeong and a member of the group that worked with Mokbi.

“I heard a rumor that it was a special room in the basement of the criminal court. “It’s very spacious.”

“There are private training rooms, a restaurant, and even a sleeping room. It’s a suitable place for closed-door training. “It was also a training ground for past heads of clans.”

“Are you practicing martial arts there?”

“It’s polishing… In some ways, it can be seen as polishing. “He is now abandoning his martial arts skills.”

“Eh?”

“The Three Dukes said so. That martial arts will eat away at your spirit as time goes by. “It would be quicker to throw it away now and start again from the beginning.”

“okay.”

Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.

“They said they would let me ascend to the top level, but first they took away my martial arts skills.”

“hmm?”

“Oh, didn’t you know? “The Three Dukes made a deal with Guan Ping, and Guan Ping’s request was to help him ascend to the highest rank.”

Gogu chuckled.

“Why are you smiling?”

“I do that because it’s funny.”

“What?”

“I also asked the Three Dukes to spar with me until I reach the peak.”

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head.

“It looks like the Three Dukes have an easy secret to reaching the top level, right? “It’s not a promise that can be easily overused.”

“I’m sure it wasn’t overused. “I will challenge myself until I succeed.”

“Well, that’s it.”

Hu Yaosheng buried his back in the chair. As I laid my back on the soft chair, I felt completely drowsy.

“Anyway, with this, all those who would stand in the way of the Three Dukes have disappeared.”

“I guess so.”

“I’m worried about what the demons will think, but I’ll figure it out on my own.”

Ho Yaoseong’s eyes, looking up at the ceiling, were colored with an unknown emotion.

“The next leader is Seoryang… I don’t know when I will be handed over the position as leader, but I don’t think it will take long.”

“I guess so. “Because I have enough ability.”

“I thought that the moment of regime change would inevitably come at some point, but I had no idea that time would come so quickly.”

“Me too.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

It was a smile that seemed somehow tired.

“Please take care of me in the future.”

“Me too.”

Sigh!

It was time for the two people to clink their glasses.

Kugoogung!!

A stronger sound than before was transmitted to the military department.

It was so intense that even Hoyo-seong could be recognized this time. Considering the intensity of the impact, it would have been transmitted not only to the military department but also to the Hwanheewon kidney department.

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.

“You’ve become stronger.”

Gogu, lost in thought for a moment, nodded.

“It’s not sponsorship.”

“hmm? “Then where is it?”

“It’s Panmajeong.”

“…!”

“It is difficult to express your martial arts skills with the word ‘extreme strength.’ “I can’t even guess what heights he has reached, but I think I know his disposition to some extent.”

“tendency?”

“If you’re going to do it clumsily, aren’t you the type of person who wouldn’t even use martial arts?”

“That’s true.”

“If you look at the temperament of shock, it seems like you are planning to hit. “It doesn’t contain any fighting spirit, so it seems to be a form of martial arts, but even so, if it’s the master’s martial arts skill, the Demon God Palace can evaporate in just three moves.”

“…You’re amazing.”

“There is only Panmajeong. There is no area other than Panmajeong that can handle the martial arts skills of the leader. And…”

Gogu smiled bitterly.

“It seems that the Three Dukes are responding properly to the martial arts skills of the religious leader.”

* * *

Quang!

“Oops!”

With a groan of frustration, Seo-ryang stepped back like crazy. The fist that offset the long hit hurt as if it would break.

This was not a discussion about the level of martial arts. It wasn’t an overwhelming difference in strength or strength or weakness in martial arts, but it was closer to just being pushed away by force.

‘A tremendous external skill!’

The level of training of the body is on a different level. The height of nearly seven feet and the frame of a mountain like a mountain did not just appear.

To contain a lake, you must have a vessel the size of a lake, and to contain an ocean, you must have a vessel the size of an ocean. Also, the durability of the bowl is just as important as its size.

That was Lee Cheon-sang’s body. A body that was trained to the point where there was no damage to the body even when using such martial arts, capable of performing the strongest martial arts of all time and all times, was no different from a new soldier in itself.

Faaagh!

After retreating for a long time, Seoryang turned around to get rid of the shock, then kicked off the ground and flew up again.

Lee Cheon-sang’s magical eyes flashed.

It was a speed that exceeded expectations. Despite suffering significant internal and external injuries, he demonstrates martial arts skills beyond his original capabilities. That meant he was desperate.

‘You risked your life.’

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose. Even though he was staring, Seo-ryang didn’t realize that he was smiling.

Slurp.

Lee Cheon-sang’s body moved to the side.

Ugh!

Seo-ryang immediately moved to the place where Lee Cheon-sang had moved.

You can’t change direction with both feet. He lowered his posture, mobilized both arms, and kicked the ground to change direction. It was an elasticity that reached the extreme of animal-like movement.

Xu Liang’s hands moved quickly.

Papa pang!

All the herbs in the Heavenly Demon’s Byeokryeok-won were thrown into Ilsu-yu seven times. It was an explosive technique that would put even a master of extreme magic at risk for his life.

Boom!

Lee Cheon-sang struck down all of those murderous fighting techniques with one hand. I couldn’t believe it when I saw how he was able to block so many blows at a speed slower than that of martial arts.

Whoa!

Seo-ryang’s body rolled and bounced off the ground. A gentle push on the shoulder was all it took, but the extreme shock felt deep in my bones.

“Tsk!”

Seoryang’s body stopped only after breaking a rock.

Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.

“Quite…”

Paaaaaa!

He doesn’t even listen to everything he says. Lee Cheon-sang’s smile deepened as he saw Seoryang rushing back at a faster pace than before.

‘Good.’

The start is good. The strength that exceeded expectations and the concentration of throwing away one’s dignity to attack were also good.

But that’s it.

“Where should we play?”

Kugugoogung!!

A terrifying magical energy gushed out from Lee Cheon-sang’s body.
