Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 276 Demon Frontier (1)

“Ark!”

“Are you here? “Would you like some?”

“Ah… it’s okay.”

“Tsk tsk, yes. “Did something come out?”

“this.”

Jeonpyeong snatched the letter the beggar gave him.

The letter was so dirty that it was almost like a rag, and the handwriting on it was bad enough to cause dizziness. In addition, there were drawings that resembled extremely complex shapes.

The common man cannot recognize the meaning of letters or shapes at all. However, Jeonpyeong had no problem reading the scribble-like writing.

Jeonpyeong’s eyes widened as he read the letter while eagerly eating dog meat.

“Hoo? “Look at these?”

“It’s amazing. “I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere.”

Admiration appeared on Jeonpyeong’s face.

“Hao Wen made a plan. I have never seen such a complex information network before.

Moreover, looking at the timing, it seems like all the detailed plans were put together in less than a month…”

“Isn’t it true that Hao Wen-ju was directly involved?”

“Is that possible? “How can a nobleman who is old enough to be in a coffin do something like this?”

“if…?”

“Whatever it is, this was definitely not drawn by several people working together. “Unless there are countless unbelievable geniuses in Haomun.”

Jeonpyeong’s eyes sparkled.

“Is it a rumored stock?”

“If it’s a rumored stock…?”

“There is a genius named Gong Ya-chi that Hao Wen-ju cares so much about. Although I’ve never seen it in person.

“The only person that comes to mind who can build an information network like this and cause chaos throughout the central plains is him.”

Jeonpyeong was lost in thought.

‘The Lord of the War, who was said to be the greatest genius in the history of openness, had built an information network similar to this. I heard it took about Dalpo?’

If you look at the size and density of the information network, the expected response, and the resulting countermeasures, whether it is Dalpo or Handal, it is all there.

If it is really Gong Yachi who personally created and executed this information network, then it should be seen that his potential is at least comparable to that of the Lord Ark of the previous generation.

“Anyway, the important thing is that in the end, all of this was Hao Mun’s doing.”

“That’s right.”

Jeonpyeong, who had sucked every last bit of flesh, carelessly threw the bone.

“Why did you set your sights on sweet fruit when you would have been happy just quietly scavenging for trash?”

The motive is not important, whether it is resentment or anything else.

This is Haomun, which was already annoying. If you touch it once, it will be an endless fight and it will cost you a lot of money, so I left it alone, but you hide and do something like this.

‘The problem is, what do these guys believe and why do they do this?’

In his conversation with Dam Si-yeong, he thought that Hao Wen had joined hands with Iron Blood Castle. On the other hand, Dam Sa-young chose the Demonic Cult.

‘Before we could dig properly, they disappeared from Hubei. The destination is presumed to be Anhui… There is a southern palace in Anhui, but if you have to be specific, it is a place where the influence of the Iron Blood Castle is also strong.’

A serious light appeared in Jeonpyeong’s playful eyes.

‘If they didn’t know how to get out of here, they would have wanted to retreat temporarily to a safe area. Then, is it really Iron Blood Castle?’

It was then.

“Ark!”

The beggar who opened the door and came in was Pung Yeong-gae (風影丐), one of the elders of Opening, the one who tied the seven knots.

“What’s going on?”

“Look at this!”

Jeonpyeong’s face hardened when he saw the letter Poong Yeonggae handed him.

“From the south?”

“That’s right!”

“It’s a group of people who exude a sinister spirit like ghosts… As many as a hundred people?”

“Another report says that their energy is so scary that you will freeze the moment you encounter them!

It is said that the ferocity that does not seem to exist in Inse is completely different from the divine skills of the Jeong Sect or the Sgong of the Sa Sect!”

Soldiers advancing at incredible speed from the southern end of the central plains.

Masters who exude a unique spirit that is neither the martial arts of the right faction nor the martial arts of the evil faction.

“…Demon Cult?”

Iron-blooded and demonic.

Jeonpyeong suddenly stood up.

“you! Tell this to the lord. “I’m sure it’s Hao Wen.”

“yes!”

“Elder Thirteen, dispatch the Guanjo immediately! “Report at every moment the movements of those guys coming from the south!”

“All right! “If you do that, the Lord will…?”

Jeonpyeong took the club lying around in a corner and stuck it into his waist.

“I have to go see Hao Wen-ju’s face at least once.”

* * *

“Cough!”

Namgungdaesan Mountain rises unsteadily.

Even though my life was literally on the line, I couldn’t lie down in peace.

Hwaaaaaaa!

Between trees and trees, between leaves and leaves.

The terrifying energy that spreads through the cool wind takes away even the strength that was previously missing.

Even though I am not at full power, my joints creak and my back feels cold. I can assure you that Nangong Daesan has never felt a more ferocious and frightening aura than this.

“Hmm? “Are you awake?”

Creepy!

“It’s sturdy. “Well… Isn’t that called Changgungsimbeop (蒼穹心法)?”

Nangong Daesan opened his eyes wide.

A young man with long bones was standing in front of him.

‘big!’

Even though I myself have never been dwarfed by my height or size, I don’t think I can do this to this young man.

He was three inches taller than himself, with broad shoulders and long limbs perfectly trimmed.

It was truly an ideal body. Moreover, the presence that emanated implicitly made the young man’s body appear two to three times larger.

“Who are you?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Don’t overdo it. “And then I’m really going to die.”

It was a tone of voice looking down from the top of a very high mountain. It seemed like a solid dignity created by the skills and experience achieved so far rather than by nature.

Namgung Daesan looked to the side.

There was a monster there who had one arm cut off and his remaining limbs were all bent in strange directions.

‘That guy?!’

His face was almost crushed. It was almost a shame that he didn’t die after being treated like that.

“Did you… make it like that?”

“me? Well, I didn’t use my hand, but I was the one who ordered it, so it’s probably like I did it in the end.”

“How?”

Even at first glance, I could see that this young man was a great expert.

The problem is that monster. Even if this young man was stronger than the monster, didn’t the monster have incredible resilience like the legendary Jiangshi?

“People have a lifespan, and martial arts also has limits. “It’s a level of resilience I’ve never seen before, but it can’t last forever.”

He knows exactly what Namgungdaesan is curious about and tells him.

Namgung Daesan, who was looking around, lowered his head.

“Thanks to you, my life was saved. Thank you.”

It was a short and simple greeting. Xu Liang shook his head.

“I didn’t come here to help you.”

“Anyway, I survived, so I received the grace of salvation. “It is a grace that I will never be able to repay even if I spend my entire life.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Even if I were a demon, would I be able to repay that favor?”

At that moment, Namgung Daesan’s eyes widened.

“Ma main?”

Now that I think about it, the energy emanating from the other person was very foreign.

Moreover, I felt a similar energy from Jang Han, who was in his thirties and was standing quietly next to me holding a sword. It feels like the depth is different, but the fundamentals are the same.

“Magi?”

“Is this your first time seeing me?”

Phew.

A faint blue aura rose from Nangong Daesan’s body.

It was as clear as a cloudless sky. It was a completely different energy from the deep and bloody demonic energy of the pits of hell.

Xu Liang waved his hand.

“I have no intention of arguing with you, so rest assured. “If I rashly release energy through my body now, there is no way to turn back.”

“…who are you?”

At that time, Ma Dong-pil took a step forward.

“Master Xiao. “Please leave now.”

“Is that so?”

The title of Sogyoju.

A look of astonishment that could not be hidden spread across Namgung Daesan’s frozen face.

“Demon Cult?!”

Xiliang no longer paid any attention to Nangong Daesan.

He kicked the monster.

“Hey, wake up.”

“Keueuuuuu!”

“Don’t be so harsh, man.”

This was not something to say to someone with broken arms and legs and a face that was all mushy.

The monster wriggled several times, but in the end, that was all.

Now that the Black Death Woodworking’s strength had run out, he was in such a dangerous state that even a child’s stone sling would kill him.

As if there was nothing he could do, Seo-ryang grabbed his collar.

“Lina.”

“yes.”

“You memorized everything this guy said earlier, right?”

“Sure.”

“Get your bearings.”

“Of course.”

Yeo Sang-rin walked away from Seo-ryang as if she was fed up. Every time I saw the monster’s broken body, I would inevitably shudder.

Xu Liang said to Nangong Daesan.

“Contact the head of the house. We can’t help you. “Even if I try to help you, I think it will actually harm you because your temperament is so opposite.”

“Have you… seen the matriarch?”

“I saw it earlier. “Don’t worry, we won’t have to fight right now.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Please tell me I’m sorry for catching you first.”

With those words, Seoryang and his party left.

Nangong Daesan looked at the group walking away with confused eyes.

‘A small sect leader of the Demonic Cult? ‘That person?’

I can’t believe it at all.

The impression I had about the Demonic Cult that I had heard about since I was young was too strong.

As for those belonging to the Demonic Cult, I thought they had a hideous appearance, killed people like catching bugs, loved fornication, and were so crazy that they had no distinction between enemies and enemies.

But what about them?

“…Are you really a demonic cultist?”

A group of people leaving Namgungdaesan Mountain and moving on.

Ma Dong-pil glanced at the rear.

“Are you going to be okay?”

“what.”

“No matter how I looked, it looked like I was going to collapse at any moment.”

Seo-ryang said as if it was fun.

“I fell for you, too, because you are so kind and worried about the Namgung family’s prosecutor on the topic of magic.”

Ma Dong-pil scratched his head with an awkward expression.

“I guess it made a good impression.”

“It is evaluated as being overly soft, but anyway, Namgoong Gaju is the real deal.

A true swordsman, a man worthy of being called a true charlatan. “I grew up under such a family head, so all the family members are simple-minded.”

Yeo Sang-rin said without turning around.

“It’s really amazing.”

“what?”

“Did Gongya Somju tell you all about this? “How do you know so well?”

It’s annoying for no reason.

Xu Liang cleared his throat and said.

“They say if you get tired, you’ll burn out. “I did my research diligently.”

“It didn’t seem like you were simply researching, did you? “When I listen to it, I feel like I’ve known it for a long time.”

sharp.

“What do you think? Anyway, we just have to do our jobs well.”

“You just pass over everything like that.”

“Hey, you’re so persistent today.”

“The messed up appearance is so stuck in my mind that I can’t erase it. “I want to come up with another idea somehow.”

“Get used to it.”

“What did you do because you got used to it? “I think it would be very bad emotionally.”

“It’s not wrong. So how much further did you say we have to go?”

“Not much time left.”

Yeo Sang-rin frowned.

“Anyway, these guys really planned it out. He dismantles the martial art called Black Death Woodworking and creates a very large formation… “Is that possible?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“He said that Tianlonggung is a martial arts expert, but he is also skilled in the martial arts of the left and right directions.

It looks like it was created while digging the left road. “These guys are a different species. Don’t you know best?”

“That’s why I’m worried.”

Yeo Sang-rin made a rare sound of pain.

“I wonder if we can go alone. “Cheonryonggung is a group of people who have been insidious since ancient times and are known as the best in the world.”

Unfortunately, Yeo Sang-rin’s words became reality.

This was when the group surpassed 200 more.

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“stop.”

Sabak!

The group stopped right there.

Yeo Sang-rin’s hand had a soft white glow, and Ma Dong-pil’s hand was holding a sword.

Xu Liang took a step forward and asked.

“Heavenly Dragon Palace?”

“Yes.”

Ssssss.

A hazy fog rose in front of a particularly large tree, and a woman appeared.

At that moment, the faces of all the people in the group were distorted. This was because the woman’s appearance was truly terrible.

“If you entered the heavenly dragon’s abode without permission, don’t even think about returning alive.”

Xiliang’s eyes turned a soft blue.

“Say it with your rotten eyes.”

Shoulders and ribs with white rotten flesh and bones exposed.

The sight of the left side of my face rotted so that my teeth and gums were visible, and my right eyeball missing and trembling, made me feel disgusted even in the world.

“What on earth are these?”

It was then.

Black smoke spewed out from the body of the monster that was shaking in Seo-ryang’s hands.

Yeosangrin shouted.

“Master Sujiao!”

Fuuuuuuu!

The monster’s body was shattered into pieces.
