Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 456 Virtues a leader must have (1)

News of the battle that took place in Zhejiang that day quickly spread throughout the entire Wulin region.

The life and death of Yeomramaje Seoryang, the head of the Heavenly Demon Church, and Suraje Songgeumbaek, the lord of the Iron Blood Fortress.

It was an incredible match that no one expected. It was a life-or-death situation between absolutes that any martial artist would have realized even if it meant losing their life.

No one knew how or why they collided. However, it was only known that their duel was worthy of being called a miracle and was so dangerous that half of a mountain collapsed.

Surprisingly, the outcome of the battle was not determined. Someone said that they saw Song Zheng Baek running away with the Iron Blood Castle’s elite, but it was not a reliable rumor because his face was not that well known in the first place.

On the other hand, the rumor that Seoryang, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, proudly returned to Hundred Thousand Mountains spread quickly. There was also an eyewitness account that although his entire body was covered in blood and he looked like he had not received any treatment, there was no shaking at all in his walking.

Many people were disappointed because they did not know whether the two men would win or lose, but wise people were more concerned about the aftermath of this battle than about the victory or defeat of the two men.

It was not a fight between absolute masters living in seclusion in a mountain valley, but a battle between the masters of the three powerful kings who divided the martial arts world into thirds. This means that it is a major event that has an impact on the world situation before the question of victory or defeat.

People held their breath and watched the Heavenly Demon God Church and the Iron Blood Castle. It would not be unreasonable to say that if either of the two dispatches troops, a war will break out from then on.

A month passed like that, then two months passed.

People slowly relaxed. Neither of the two groups gave off any signs of danger. The Church of the Heavenly Demon worked hard to manage both internally and externally, and the Iron Blood Castle was as quiet as before.

Of course, this quiet peace will not last forever. People could instinctively know. That battle at that time would have been an important starting point for a great event that would occur in the future.

And another three months passed.

The season when the hot sun heats up the world for a long time, the time when summer gives its last strength.

The great event that shook the world began in Hubei Province, in the middle of the Central Plains.

“Gasp! and! “It gets stronger and it loses.”

“Get up.”

“Master. Isn’t it too hot? “I’ll take a break and do it later.”

“Do you think the enemy will wait for you just because it’s a hot day? “Get up now.”

“Ugh.”

Wei Hongryeon staggered to his feet and spit out blood.

There were no visible injuries, but his complexion was very pale. It seemed like he had suffered quite severe internal injuries. The

Iron Sword Mazon nodded inwardly.

‘Good.’

I was grumbling because it was hot, but my posture was perfect. Now, my perfect posture comes naturally without me having to be conscious of it.

‘It’s done.’

Wei Hongryun grew at an alarming rate. He

didn’t take any elixirs or learn new martial arts. Over the past six months, Wei Hongryun has reached this level only through pure effort. It was a surprising achievement for the Iron Sword Demon Lord to see.

‘After all , ‘You must have a clear goal.’

There were many, many levels of martial arts shared by celebrities.

However, one thing is certain: the higher the level, the more difficult it is to achieve the next level. Naturally, refining the level achieved to perfection was bound to be difficult beyond imagination.

That difficult task . Wei Hongryeon did it in only half a year. It may be a hasty judgment, but at least his fighting power is comparable to that of the lords of the Old Daemun Sect.

“Now, come back.”

“going!”

It was then:

“Wait a minute.”

Wei Hongryun hesitated. The white light of the Tiger Sword in his hand also dimmed.

“Why are you doing this?”

The Iron Sword Mazon looked towards the forest on the left.

At the same time, a man walked out of the forest.

Wei Hongryun’s eyes lit up.

“See you Mazon.”

The person who greeted him with a polite bow was none other than Ma Dong-pil. It was the first time in half a year that I had seen the Iron Sword Mazon as well as Wei Hongryun.

There was a look of surprise on the blunt Iron Sword Mazon’s face.

“Howie Ma?”

“long time no see. “I apologize for not being able to notify you in advance.”

It was a simple yet clearly polite greeting.

Iron Sword Mazon, who was quietly looking at Ma Dong-pil, shook his head.

“What happened in half a year?”

“I trained.”

“How much training have you had?”

Ma Dong-pil smiled slightly.

His face was as blunt as the Iron Sword Mazon, but he looked much more relaxed than before. It was the expression of a powerful man who was not light and relaxed.

“Forgetting his duty and forgetting the world. “It would not have been possible if the leader had not been considerate.”

“I immersed myself in training, forgetting about the world… It’s easy to say, but it’s hard to give those words true weight. You’ve suffered death countless times.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“It’s not something to be ashamed of. Throwing away one’s life to become stronger is not something anyone can do.”

“It was the struggle of someone without talent. Anyone can do it. I just got lucky.”

“Don’t think you got to that level through luck alone. “If that was truly luck, you would be the luckiest person in the world.”

The Iron Sword Mazon glanced at Wei Hongryeon.

Wei Hongryeon was looking at Ma Dongpil with a very shocked face. Seeing him with his mouth wide open and drool flowing out, I felt like he had lost consciousness.

“Anyway, I’m glad you’ve become such an amazing prosecutor. “Sometime in the future, when the time comes, please join me in the sword dance.”

It is really not easy for such words to come out of the mouth of the Iron Sword Demon of the World.

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.

“It is an honor. I will receive your teachings whenever the Majon wants.”

As my martial arts skills grew and my level increased, the reactions also changed.

Ma Dong-pil of the past would never have said this. Since he had a very stubborn nature and was also tasked with closely guarding the religious leader, he must have been even more angry.

But that doesn’t happen anymore.

If before he had a single-edged sword, now he even had a scabbard that completely blocked the sword’s anticipation.

“So, what brought you all the way to Ye?”

“I have come to convey the words of the leader.”

“I thought so. Just tell me.”

“The leader has summoned the Senate. “The others have already headed to the Demon God Palace.”

The Iron Sword Mazon nodded.

“Okay. We’re leaving right away.”

“All right.”

As he walked with a sharp sword, he suddenly looked at Wei Hongryeon.

“Howie Ma.”

“yes.”

“Could you give my foolish student half a minute of your time?”

Ma Dong-pil smiled and answered,

“Of course.”

“Thank you. “I’m going to go first, so let’s have a chat.”

Just like that, the Iron Sword Mazon disappeared.

Ma Dong-pil looked at Wei Hong-ryeon.

“How have you been?”

Wi Hongryeon, who was looking at Ma Dongpil blankly, sighed.

“Is everything like that?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Do you think everyone grows that fast if they stay with the leader?”

Ma Dong-pil shook his head.

“Listen and don’t misunderstand. I think the growth of Daeju Wi is also beyond common sense. It’s to the point where I doubt whether he is the same person I saw in the middle of the field in the past.”

“How does it sound like you’re teasing me?”

“It’s not like that at all.”

Wei Hongryun laughed bitterly.

“That’s just the way it is. “I thought I had climbed all the way to Mount Tai’s Chilbu Ridge, but when I saw you, I realized I was completely mistaken.”

“If the Great Master Wei’s goal is clear, then the place the Great Master Wei has reached now must be the Seven Kingdoms of Taishan.”

“you are?”

“It’s vague.”

“What area is your goal?”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

Wei Hongryun’s eyes deepened.

“How was it possible for you to become strong so quickly without any particular goal?”

“He is too far away to set a goal.”

“Him? “Could it be, leader?”

“exactly.”

Wei Hongryeon stuck out her tongue.

“Do you want to chase after the religious leader?”

“I don’t think the expression chasing is appropriate. However, since you are his close escort, I think you should at least be right under him.”

“her!”

“That won’t happen, but I have to be prepared in case he loses his power. The leader is someone who hangs out in the sky high up in the sky, and of course those who are targeting him also live in the same realm. In order to protect the leader from their magical clutches, at least he is there. “You have to go far enough to be able to see the back.”

“So you said you had no goals?”

“exactly. Because he is constantly getting stronger even at this very moment.”

Wi Hong-ryeon, who was quietly watching Ma Dong-pil, fell down on the spot.

“lost! “You won!”

She, who had never once said she lost to Ma Dong-pil, now finally admitted defeat.

Ma Dong-pil accepted it cheerfully.

“I’ve won a lot in the past. “The above lord simply did not acknowledge it.”

“Pick dig, dig, dig.”

“There’s no shame in losing, right?”

“I am embarrassed. “It’s a life I’ve lived so as not to lose.”

“Then I would recommend that you change your outlook on life from now on.”

“Live to lose?”

“It means don’t dwell on defeat.”

Wei Honglian smiled bitterly.

“Easier said than done. It won’t be easy to change, right?”

“It’s always difficult to let go of pride. It must be even more difficult if you are a warrior like the Great Lord above who has overcome all kinds of hardships with only pride.”

“What are you doing?”

“Of course, it’s just a recommendation. If you don’t think it will help you, ignore it.”

Wei Hongryeon jumped up and said,

“You noble man, there is a level of pride. How could you just ignore the advice of a super expert who has reached extreme demon status?”

Ma Dong-pil smiled.

“Even if the words of a master who is not an extreme demon but has reached the level of a super demon, if they do not help me, they are nothing more than a shell.

“But what you said to me is not a shell, is it?”

“It is entirely up to the Great Lord to decide that.”

Wei Honglian smiled again,

“Good. It means you need more time to focus on yourself, right?”

“You could say that too.”

“It’s a hot day, so there’s a reason to skip training.”

Although she said that, her face was serious.

Looking at Wei Hong-ryeon like that, Ma Dong-pil thought. She has changed a lot too. She

thinks she is proud of herself, but Wei Hong-ryeon has already become flexible enough. Even if she has not reached the extreme level. Even so, she would have admitted her defeat.

Her admission of defeat meant her attitude as a warrior rather than a victory as a warrior.

“Are your internal injuries serious?”

“Well, if you take medicine for the internal injury and treat it, you’ll be better in about 10 days.”

“That’s good. I understand there’s no problem with your movements right now.”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“The reason I came all this way was not only because of the convening of the Senate.”

“then?”

“The sect leader has given a secret order to the great lord above.”

Wei Hongryun’s eyes sparkled.

She immediately straightened her posture and politely got down on one knee and bowed her head. I couldn’t listen to the leader’s secret orders in a lax manner.

Ma Dong-pil smiled. She had shown more of a soldier-like disposition than anyone else during battle, but now she was showing the same attitude even when she was not on operation.

Perhaps the religious leader was already aware of this change in Weihongryun. I guess he took this important decision because he knew she had changed.

“As of now, I am appointing Wi Hongryeon, the Great Lord of Gwangma, as the commanding officer of the Demon King’s Command, a special operations unit under the direct control of the newly created religious leader.”

Wei Hongryeon looked up at Ma Dongpil in surprise.

Ma Dong-pil continued speaking with a calm face.

“As it is directly under the cult leader, it is placed under the Demon God Palace, not the military department, and has the right to refuse orders except from the cult leader and the general military. The main operations are responsible for all operations that cannot be performed by regular combat units, such as assassination, bombing, seizing separate bases, and infiltrating Sejak. do.”

“⋯⋯!!”

“Prove your abilities by attending the Gyojujeon today at midnight.”
