Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 270 Unconventional departure (8)

There was no longer a smile on Song Zhengbaek’s face.

“Did you say you would go directly to Uicheon Lord Uicheon Wuje Dam Sa-yeong?”

“That’s right.”

He looked at Seoliang blankly.

It was an expression that revealed a sense of purpose ten times stronger than those intense eyes.

Geumbaek was sure. What this guy says is sincere.

Even with these words, the devil really intends to visit Lord Uicheon.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Please speak.”

“It seems to me that you hate Lord Uicheon very much. Am I right?”

“That’s right.”

“What is the reason? As you said a moment ago, I don’t think it’s because of the chain of hatred created by history.”

“I can’t tell you why. But I can tell you how much I hate Lord Uicheon.”

“…?”

“If there is a true god in the sky and gives me just one chance, I will go to kill Lord Uicheon without hesitation.

“I will do it even if all the people in the world burn and groan at that one opportunity.”

Xu Liang’s voice became increasingly calm.

On the other hand, his hatred grew deeper.

“I can’t even stand the fact that he’s breathing the same air I’m breathing.

“Even if I try not to think about it, I am surprised to see myself grabbing the doorknob and trying to run out because these thoughts pop up from time to time.”

“….”

“To me, Lord Uicheon is that kind of being. Sometimes I wish that 10 million Uicheon Lords would appear. Because then you could kill him a million times.”

“….”

“Do you understand my hatred?”

“…I think that could happen.”

“No, Lord Seong, you cannot understand. No one can understand my hatred and resentment. “Even the Death God would not be able to understand my hatred.”

Song Sang-baek, who was watching Seo-ryang, glanced down at his own arm. Goosebumps appeared on my forearms that were covered by my clothes.

‘This guy…’

A dull smile appeared on Song Sang-baek’s face as he looked at Seo-ryang again.

‘He was completely crazy.’

A person can hate someone. But I can’t hate it this much.

It is not just a list of plausible words.

This guy had enough vocabulary to express his hatred, but he was holding back. This is because it is not a hatred that can be expressed in just a few words.

That makes it even more creepy. It made me wonder how on earth one person could harbor such deep hatred.

“and.”

“hmm?”

“This burning hatred is not targeting only Lord Uicheon.”

I can assure you that Zhong Zhengbai has never heard anything more frightening than this in recent years.

“Is there someone else?”

“That’s right.”

“Can you tell me?”

“I don’t want to tell you.”

I couldn’t say exactly. This was because I did not know what kind of relationship there was between Zheng Zheng Baek and King Biyo.

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.

“I know your hatred and resentment. “I understand that you want to kill Lord Uicheon at any cost.”

“That’s why I contacted you.”

“yes. So to speak, you showed it with action before persuading me.”

Before we knew it, even Zhong Zhengbaek’s face had lost its seriousness.

“you.”

“Please speak.”

“You are the one who kidnapped my concubine, right?”

Xiliang paused.

But even for a moment.

“That’s right.”

“Honest.”

“I guess it’s because I’m not weak enough to tell a lie.”

“It seems so.”

After being lost in thought for a moment, Song Baek asked again.

“You are the one who killed the Mukpungdae, right?”

“That’s right.”

Hwang Gon burst out laughing without even realizing it. Even though it was impossible to laugh, I somehow managed to laugh.

Zhong Zhenbaek said with a smile.

“You kidnapped Hyangi, that’s right, Chise. Anyway, I returned to my hometown safely. “But one of our school’s most elite units has evaporated at your hands.”

“I see.”

“How are you going to compensate?”

“Do I really have to pay compensation?”

It was truly a shameless statement.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“If you think about it that way, you have to take into account the several businesses of our school that the Lord of Seong has knowingly taken away.”

At that moment, the eyes of Zheng Zhenbaek and Huang Kun flashed.

“Did you know that?”

“Would you have come to meet the lord of the castle without investigating such matters?”

“I guess it’s information you got from Haomun, right?”

“I will keep that a secret.”

Zhong Zhenbaek shook his head.

“I thought it was a tiger with sharp fangs, but it turned out there was no fox like this.”

Song Ji-baek, who seemed to be lost in thought with his chin resting, hit his knee.

“Good. “Let’s leave the Mukpungdae matter buried like this.”

It’s unfortunate, but it’s something that can’t be helped. If we dragged out the conversation by wasting our emotions, it would only have a negative impact on both parties.

This time, Xu Liang felt burdened by Zhong Zheng Baek’s refreshing words.

‘I’m not a person who considers the lives of his subordinates as pawns in Janggi. Nevertheless, I do not hesitate in making judgments.’

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

‘It’s really not that easy.’

The conversation so far has been led by Seo-ryang.

But if you look inside, it wasn’t like that. If Geum Baek hadn’t accepted it with ease, the conversation wouldn’t have been able to get this far in the first place.

You are encouraged to say everything you want to say, and you are generously given leeway.

He was a politician of the type that Seo-ryang had never seen before. I thought he was an extremely stiff and arrogant person, but that wasn’t the case.

When push came to shove, he would move faster than anyone else, but he was also someone who lived with calculated caution and composure.

The Absolute Demon Lee Cheon-sang is so strong that we don’t even dare to face him.

Dam Sa-yeong, the dark ruler who is so cunning that it is difficult to predict even one step ahead.

Unlike the two, Song Sang-baek was a worldly politician who perfectly harmonized strength with the weapon of honesty.

He was a person who, if necessary, could turn away from the anger he was showing and turn into a devil at any time.

“I went back and forth, but in the end, you still haven’t told me what you want from me. “I ask you, what do you want from me?”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“Please set the mood.”

“It’s the atmosphere…”

Zheng Zhongbaek glanced at Huang Kun.

Huang Kun took a step forward.

“Excuse me.”

Huang Kun came up to the platform and knelt down to the right of Zheng Zhengbaek.

Xu Liang opened his mouth again.

“The University has drastically scaled back its foreign policy over the past three decades.

“I presume that the reason the Lord Seong appeared in person when I, the head of our school, contacted him requesting a meeting, was because he was so surprised.”

“That’s right.”

“In other words, our school has been like a ghost for 30 years.”

For a moment, Hwang Gon’s eyes lit up.

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“I want to roam freely in the midfield… That’s what I meant.”

Know what to say next before even getting into the main topic. He was a person with very good sense.

“When Mine appears in the Tang Dynasty, there will be various reactions. However, the one emotion that dominates all reactions will disturb the midfield.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“It’s fear.”

“I guess so.”

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.

“People will feel scared. “You will feel that much curiosity.”

“That’s what Iron Blood Castle wants. Dilute fear and maximize curiosity.”

“Are you saying that Iron Blooded Saints should step forward and show the world in the central plains that Majin’s actions are okay?”

“That’s right.”

“The most effective move would be to take action myself.”

“You are correct.”

Zheng Zhengbai looked at Huang Kun.

“What do you think? It seems that the Demonic Cult’s Sogyoju is telling us to lay the groundwork in this central plain so that all the warriors of the Kangho Three generations can walk proudly.”

Huang Kun shook his head.

“No.”

Suddenly, opposing opinions emerged. Xiliang’s gaze turned to Huang Kun.

“The world has become somewhat chaotic, but the people still support the political faction, Murim.

If the main character steps forward and supports the appearance of the demons of Shinism, there is a high probability that the scattered power of the martial arts faction will be concentrated in one place.”

It was a statement that immediately penetrated the situation in the central plains.

“if.”

Huang Kun’s eyes sparkled.

“It would be a different story if the leader of Sogyo went to meet the leader of Uicheon in person before the power of the martial faction of the faction was gathered.”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“I’m sorry to say this, but if we kill Lord Uicheon, won’t the political factions become even more united?”

“Anyway, if it’s difficult one way or another, it’s beneficial to get rid of them before they gather together.”

Have you seen such a scary person?

Xu Liang let out a laugh.

“You’re suddenly saying something scary.”

“The Lord of Uicheon is still a fearsome figure.

“If he tries to gather all the power of his faction, the martial arts faction, for a fight, an already difficult fight will become twice as difficult.”

That made sense.

“In other words, as soon as this meeting is over, I have to go see Lord Uicheon.”

“You must go ahead and kill him.”

Huang Kun shook his head.

“That’s why I say no. You can tell just by looking at Lord Seong’s reaction that So Jyoju’s abilities are amazing.

However, it is impossible for anyone to kill Lord Uicheon in a short period of time.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“It’s not wrong.”

Huang Kun said to Zheng Zhengbai.

“This is all I can say.

The proposal of Western Sogyo (小敎) is certainly attractive, but if you hold its hand carelessly, you will only end up inviting the body of your enemy.”

“Right.”

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“If that happens, the Safa Martial Arts and the Mado Martial Arts will have to form an unprecedented training relationship to be able to compete, right?”

Huang Kun nodded.

“That’s right. “If you think you should deal with Uicheonmaeng first.”

“Okay.”

Hwang Gon lowered his head and went down to the floor.

Song Sang-baek, who was pondering for a moment, suddenly glanced at Yeo Sang-rin.

“What is the name of the Soger from the Ice Palace?”

Yeo Sang-rin answered politely.

“My name is Yeo Sang-rin.”

“I heard you called me a thief.”

“…Ugh.”

Yeosangrin scratched his head.

“Did you hear that?”

“We live under the same blanket.”

“It’s just… the words came out without me knowing… I apologize if you offended me.”

“Do you still feel the same way?”

Yeo Sang-rin, who hesitated for a moment, cleared her throat and said.

“yes.”

Song Zhongbaek laughed out loud without realizing it. It was the same with Hwang Gon.

Only Hwan could look at Seo-ryang and Yeo Sang-rin alternately with uncomfortable eyes.

“That’s right. I’m a thief. “Even now that I am well past my 60th birthday, there are so many things I want to acquire.”

“Yes.”

Zhong Zhenbaek smiled and looked at Xu Liang.

“Seo Sogyo.”

For the first time, he spoke to Seoryang by calling him by his proper name.

“Please speak.”

“My greed is heaven itself. “I want unification of the world.”

“….”

“But I haven’t seen any real progress until I get to this age.

“Whether you want to rule the world or not, someone has to start first before you try to take advantage of the opportunity or fight head-on.”

“That’s right.”

“I’ve had a lot of worries so far. “How can we shake up the world?”

Zheng Zhongbaek’s eyes became strange.

“I was thinking about it until just now, but I made up my mind after a short conversation with Sojeo.”

He got up from his seat. Seo-ryang also stood up.

Song Sang-baek, who was quietly looking at Seo-ryang, nodded.

“I’ll watch your back.”

Xu Liang clenched his fists without anyone noticing.

“We are still not allies. I’m just trying to use you as a horse for shogi. At the same time, you too will try to take advantage of us.”

“of course.”

“Good, I liked it.”

Song Zhongbaek said harshly.

“If you had tried to shake my heart by hastily holding hands or flattering me, you would never have made this choice. “I’m jealous of the religious leader for having a disciple like you.”

Did you make a spontaneous choice because you liked the other person?

Yes. Geum Baek was that kind of person. He is calmer than anyone else when it comes to making calculations, but he also has the courage to keep going once he likes something.

Even though it may cause problems for the existence of the Iron Blood Castle.

In other words, what Seo-ryang showed was impressive enough to make a choice that would shake up Iron Blood Castle.

“Let’s go out with grandeur once again. “Let’s shake the martial arts faction to its core. It will take care of blocking a few sharp pieces of hail.”

“thank you.”

Xi Liang took control.

“You will never be disappointed.”

Song Zhengbaek chuckled.

“I look forward to it.”
