Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 435 Budding Seed (5)

Hoildo, the leader of the thieves, said.

“We are from Gangseo Store…”

“Is this too much?”

Xu Liang frowned.

“They lack skills, but they have their own loyalty. Well, since they are of this caliber, they

must have been sent.” There is no need to listen to the other person’s words. Seo-ryang was already convinced that these four thieves were sent by Gangseo Merchants Association. Ho Il-do

‘s face twitched.

The other person was talking to him. He seemed to have no intention of doing anything at all. He just concluded and judged. This made it difficult to convey Sanghoeju’s words.

“Are you truly the master of the Heavenly Demon Church?”

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“huh.”

“⋯⋯.”

As the initial shock disappeared, not only the Four Great Lakes Blades but also everyone on base felt bewildered. The

demonic cult leader they had imagined was definitely not like this. Although he was not a three-headed, six-legged monster, he exuded terrifying magical energy. I’ve imagined him bursting into laughter.

But what does Seoryang look like now? He shows a flexible appearance that would be hard to imagine for the infamous Emperor Yeomma. His presence was unusual, but that was all. In some ways, he seemed simple

– minded.

His actions were now treated like legends.

Not only did he set off all kinds of exciting events across the central plains, but especially the madness of King Yeom, who led thousands of demons and pushed the Iron Blood Fortress, caused a huge shock to both Jeongsa and Yang. He gave it to me. I wonder if it was even called a mad devil.

But no matter how I looked at it, the current Seoryang did not show anything worthy of being called a demon king or a mad demon

. Seoryang did not care at all about people’s gaze.

“Anyway, I thought about it as well. It’s faster than that.”

“⋯⋯?”

“I thought it would take at least half a day, but I came here in less than an hour… Gangseo Store’s information network is amazing. It is not a lie that the Gangseo Merchants Association rules Gangseo Province.”

There was no other reason for him to walk around the streets as if he was wearing a dragon robe and a treasured sword. From the beginning, Seoryang planned to make his presence known to them.

Yo (要) ) was the time.

In the case of an influential faction that dominates a region, it takes between an hour and a half a day on average to identify unusual trends in the area.

They approached themselves much faster than that average. Because of the Honam incident, Even if it was just standing there, it was fast.

‘We have better information than any other sect in the world. At least within our own territory.’

Usually, in the case of the upper level, the information power is bound to be better than that of the martial arts faction. This is because information is directly related to livelihood.

Ho Il-do’s face hardened.

“Whatever you think…”

“You take me to the chief of the upper level. ” “There are hundreds of ways to make it.”

It was an unexpected remark. Ho Il-do was angry at Seo-ryang for interrupting him this time, but as expected, he couldn’t ignore his words.

Seo-ryang smiled and said,

“But I don’t want to use those methods. If I do that, I’ll ruin your use of any method. “Because lives will be shattered. I don’t want to see the blood of those who are not against me.”

It was an unexpected remark.

This, too, was different from the impression people had of the Demon Cult leader. This was because there was a stereotype that a Demon Cult leader would not be afraid of bloodshed and would rather like it. Seo

Liang went to the central plains and changed the impression of the Heavenly Demon Cult. In Edo, people still thought of the Demon Cultist as a devil. In fact, it could be seen as something that could not be helped.

“So go back and tell the story.”

“⋯⋯”

“If Sanghoeju does not come here before dawn tomorrow morning, I will destroy Gangseo Castle.”

The already quiet atmosphere on base suddenly cooled.

“I’ll say it again. If the owner of Gangseo Chamber of Commerce does not come to me before dawn tomorrow morning, I will turn the entire Gangseo Province into a sea of fire. “If you don’t mind, just stay hidden, and if you don’t want to do that, tell them to come find me in person.”

Hoildo’s eyes wavered.

“Even jokes…”

puck!

“Oops!”

At that moment, Hoildo’s body was hanging in the air.

Surprisingly, Xu Liang did not take any direct action. I just glared at him, but Hoildo floated in the air and grabbed his neck.

Chaaaaang!

The three remaining thieves pulled out their swords at once. But that was just an instinctive response. They knew very well that they could not even put a scratch on the other person’s body on their own.

Seoliang, who was leaning back, tilted his head.

“joke?”

“Knock knock!”

“Do you think I came all the way to Gangseo just to make jokes?”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

Kakakang!

The swords of the three thieves suddenly broke.

The only person who saw how the sword was broken was Yeo Geuk-do. The movement was so fast that even Yeo Geuk-do felt scared for a moment.

‘Jigong (指功)? ‘That’s amazing!’

dump!

“Wow! Huh! “Huh!”

Hoildo fell to the floor and gasped, clutching his neck.

Xu Liang looked down at him. Now people no longer get an easy-going impression from him.

“If you want to make sure that the Heavenly Demon is not lying, try hiding somewhere.”

Xu Liang turned around.

Flap!

The antique long gun was reflected in Ho Il-do’s eyes.

For a moment his eyes widened.

‘Heaven?!’

On the back of the majestic red dragon robe was written the character ‘Cheon (天)’ in majestic writing.

It is not a demon, but a heavenly cloth. Not many people knew its meaning.

If you are a sect leader, you wear a dragon robe with the word “Demon” written on it. However, if you go beyond the rank of religious leader and receive the title of Heavenly Demon, you will wear a dragon robe with Heaven engraved on it.

A thousand characters for the sky on a yongpo.

From the empire’s perspective, he is truly a traitor among traitors. However, even hundreds of years ago, when the power of the imperial palace was strong, they could not impose any sanctions on the Heavenly Demon.

Because the Heavenly Horse is a symbol of invincibility.

It could not be touched because it was the pinnacle of inhumanity and boasted of invincible majesty, capable of destroying an entire army of the empire with its single body. And it was still the same now.

Wooooow!

The sect leader’s clothing, completed by combining the thread of Yin-Yang Cheonjam (陰陽天蠶), which is said to be the most mysterious in the world, and the unique techniques of the Heavenly Demon God’s Church, was a garment that displayed mysterious supernormal abilities in itself.

The treasure of the sword, water, fire, and fire. A sacred object symbolizing the Great Master of Magic.

A single word engraved on the Demon Emperor’s robe received the reigning Demon Emperor’s flag and gave off a splendid light.

“Go. If we meet again, I will not spare any of you.”

“what?”

Nam Gung-eon’s face was clearly hardened.

“Are you going to destroy Gangseo Castle?”

“That’s right. Considering that he even said he would turn it into a sea of fire, it doesn’t seem like he was lying.”

“⋯⋯.”

“Elder?”

Yoo In-kang, the head of the Yoo Shopping Family, a branch of Namgung and a fairly well-known merchant family in Gangseo Province, sighed inwardly,

‘The elder has retired from active duty. I am asking you for this. ‘It won’t work.’

The Yu Family was as famous for its martial arts as it was for commerce. At least in one region, it was at the level of a first-class martial arts family.

However, it did not dare to compare itself to the Heavenly Demon Church. In other words, even if it sent just one unit of the Heavenly Demon Church, the Yu Family would be destroyed. He will not be able to avoid annihilation.

Moreover, knowing that the Demon Cult, who is said to be the strongest Demon Cult, is in Gangseo Province, I could not help but feel uneasy.

“First of all, it is up to the Sanghoe Clan to know if the Demon Cult will really do that…”

“It’s something that draws you in.”

“yes?”

Namgoongeon’s face, which had been stiff as he must have regained his composure, softened somewhat. Of course, the severity did not disappear.

“To approach it somewhat snobbishly, the greatest value to a martial artist is reputation. So what is the greatest value to a merchant?”

“The highest value of a merchant…”

Yoo In-kang’s eyes sparkled.

“It’s a credit.”

“That’s right. And that credit comes from hearsay. The Cheonma of the time called Sanghoeju in front of everyone. “If the owner of the company does not show up by tomorrow, it is clear that his future business will suffer a huge blow.”

“okay.”

“In other words, whether Sanghoeju likes it or not, he must come out to meet Cheonma. That is, if he still wants to walk the path of a merchant.”

But the method is too rough.

Besides, a person of Cheonma’s rank would not say something he could not keep. Even if it is because of how others view him, he must keep his promises.

In other words, really. If the head of the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce does not appear, the Heavenly Demon will turn Gangseo City into a

sea of fire. There is no choice but to do so. Namgung-eon stood up.

“Do you know anyone among the leaders of the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce?”

“Yes? Oh yes! There are several. If you want to do business in Gangseo Province, you can’t not know the merchants of Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.”

“If you do, contact the highest person you know. “The Sword King will take care of you.”

“omg! yes! Okay!”

“How long do you think it will take?”

“The flue can be sent right away. However, it will take some time before a response comes from there…”

Namgoong-eon looked at the window.

When I looked at the sun, it was roughly the end of the New Year. It was tight, but there was still time.

“I’m going to go out for a while. “I will be back soon, so please contact me as soon as possible.”

The place Namgung-eon visited was Hoyeonru.

Hoyeonru, which should be bustling with customers just coming in for dinner, was unfortunately empty.

‘Is it worth it?’

There is Cheonma on the top floor of Hoyeonru. Although the impression of the Church of the Heavenly Demon has become much more harmful, the Church of the Heavenly Demon is still bound to be an object of fear for people.

Moreover, he even said that he would create a sea of fire, so there was no way that customers would come here.

Namgoong-eon climbed the stairs with great strides.

The owner, the servants, and the Jeomsoi all looked at Namgung-eon’s notice. Anyone who saw him could clearly see that he was scared.

The more he looked at their faces and read their emotions, the more Namgoong Eon’s expression hardened little by little.

Eventually he reached the top floor.

“Are you here?”

“I see.”

On the top floor, Seo-ryang and Yeo Geuk-do were sharing a drink.

Seo-ryang coolly poured his drink and shook his head.

“Senior Sword King should not have come here.”

“Why not?”

“I believe you won’t know.”

Namgung-eon is a great swordsman known as the King of Swords. Namgung-eon’s wisdom and martial arts were well known not only to the martial arts people but also to the general public.

Then he climbed up to the place where the Heavenly Demon was. Many people were probably already watching this place.

And that gaze must have been a mixture of anticipation and worry. I had an expectation that the Sword King would do something for me, and I was worried that I might be defeated by the Heavenly Demon.

No matter what happens, if Nam Gung-eon quietly steps down like this, people will tarnish his reputation. People who were a bit extreme could make a fuss and say that they were intimidated by the Cheonma.

Nam Gung-eon said coldly.

“In my entire life, I have never once cared about what others thought. At least when it comes to my reputation.”

“exactly?”

“I am just a person who does what my heart tells me to do. “Like you.”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly.

“It’s a horse with bones.”

“I’ll ask you straight.”

Namgoong Eon’s eyes sparkled.

“If Sanghoeju doesn’t come, are you really going to turn Gangseo into a sea of fire?”

Xu Liang answered without hesitation.

“Of course.”
