Chapter 464
Episode 464 Selection of the Era (4)
Seoliang, who had sent back Euljigun, who was completely ruined, along with Gogu, looked up at the sky.
‘Traitor… That’s a truly grandiose crime.’
It wasn’t wrong to say that.
All the people of the Central Plains belong to the imperial emperor. In the eyes of such an empire, the Heavenly Demon Church would be no different from a sect. What’s more, don’t the demons just consider the emperor to be the emperor of a foreign country? Even in death, they only follow their religious leader.
Moreover, the religious leader even wears a dragon robe. This is because the religious leader is thought to be the most noble in the world.
From the imperial palace’s perspective, the Heavenly Demon Church are entities that could pose a threat to the empire at any time. In the first place, dreaming of a world of magic itself was a problem.
‘But that’s the same for political factions and Safa factions. They don’t openly want to unify the world, but in the eyes of the empire, dividing up the good and evil is meaningless. ‘They’re all the same.’
The problem lies in the fact that Dam Sa-yeong, who represented the political faction, and Song Sang-baek, the representative of the Sa faction, joined hands with the imperial palace.
If they had not seen the disaster called Li Cheon-sang, they would never have trained with the imperial palace. Even if they joined hands, they would not have been able to put forward the grand cause of the revival of the empire.
‘Master.’
Suddenly, Lee Cheon-sang’s voice was heard.
– Now you are the leader.
A religious leader is the only light that demons believe in and follow.
A cult leader is a great being who can make what the demons want into reality.
So, the religious leader is a god. And what the demons want is for the Heavenly Demon Church to take over the world, that is, the Demon Heaven.
Xu Liang closed his eyes.
A part of the conversation Lee Cheon-sang had in the past with Dam Sa-yeong and Song Baek came to mind. Although I didn’t hear that conversation together, I remembered Lee Cheon-sang’s thoughts as he entered through the Gate of Desire.
– The Heavenly Demon of the future will not be a mad slayer but a king with laws.
– The idea is to separate the martial arts world from this land called Jungwon and the world called Kangho.
Perhaps Lee Cheon-sang knew. If the disaster called self falls on the world, Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek will somehow join hands with the imperial palace.
However, he probably didn’t know that he would be able to use the same skill as Uicheonmaeng. It was clear that he intended to show a further disaster.
In other words, by telling Lee Cheon-sang to separate the martial arts from the world of Gangho, he was actually giving them a clue to unite them and the imperial palace. Anyway, even if you blow up the Uicheonmaeng and the Iron Blood Fortress, if the imperial palace remains intact, it will be absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Demon God Church to conquer the world of magic.
And that was a choice based on the assumption that his student would be capable of dealing with even the imperial palace.
‘You really put too much of a burden on me.’
In other words, Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek acted according to Lee Cheon-sang’s intentions.
So what about yourself?
“…I will meet your expectations, but I have my own way.”
Xu Liang smiled.
“He’s a king with laws, so that’s a really cool thing to say.”
He looked back at Ma Dong-pil and asked.
“Isn’t that so?”
Ma Dong-pil, who suddenly wondered what this meant, simply bowed his head.
Xi Liang turned his eyes to Guan Ping. Even when facing the Absolute Demon Eyes sparkling with brain fire, Guan Ping’s eyes did not waver.
Gwanpyeong, who had been looking at Seoryang for a long time, soon closed his eyes. I realized now that it was time to die.
“Even though half a year has passed, I haven’t been able to reach the pole position.”
“I wasn’t good enough, but who can I blame? “Today I have reached the end of a state I have never reached, and there is no time left.”
“You can’t do that.”
“…?!”
“It won’t work without Yeohan. “Wouldn’t it be so unfair for the people who died so comfortably to die at your hands?”
Guan Ping’s cheeks trembled.
“Why do you break my heart by mentioning people who are already dead?”
“Dongpil said that before. “I hate you.”
Gwanpyeong looked at Ma Dongpil.
Ma Dong-pil just lowered his head without any change in expression. In fact, he didn’t seem to mind at all.
“Do you want to know why? Dongpil said this. “You have lost your dignity.”
“…?!”
“Once you step into the martial arts world and the most aggressive magic in the martial arts world, you can face the risk of death at any time. But you didn’t kill the enemy. You killed subordinates who had no grudge against you just to fill your blood and flesh. In other words, you killed your prey while toying with it.”
Guan Pyeong’s fist gained strength.
The light in Xiliang’s eyes gradually darkened.
“I kill others for my own survival and future… I don’t want to hold it against me. The lack of formality is just Dongpil’s opinion, not mine. But it is clear that your crime is not so light that you can die comfortably.”
“So…”
Guan Ping’s eyes became bloodshot.
“Do you want me to apologize to them?”
“I don’t think they want an apology that doesn’t come from the heart. “If you truly regretted it, you would have asked me for a favor before coming here.”
It was a speech that left me speechless.
The tone is as if someone is striking with a sharp dagger. Guan Ping gritted his teeth. My heart, which had been as calm as a lake, was greatly shaken.
“You are finally looking at yourself. It can be said that this is an achievement that goes beyond the growth of martial arts. But that doesn’t mean I have any obligation to kill you comfortably.”
“Are you trying to blame me? Or are you trying to trick me? It doesn’t matter what it is, but I don’t know the gravity of this promise. “If you want to kill me, kill me quickly.”
Xu Liang smiled.
“I like one distribution. “Shouldn’t we have lived like that already?”
Guan Pyeong closed his eyes. It was a silent protest asking them to kill him quickly.
Xu Liang said.
“Do you remember what I said to the Sword Lord a little while ago?”
“…?”
“A loser has no right to beg for death.”
“…!”
“Well, you and I made a promise, so there’s no need to talk about winning or losing. So, let me ask you.”
hook.
Before I knew it, Seoliang was squatting down across from Guanpyeong.
“do you want to die?”
Guan Pyeong did not reply.
But Seoliang could see. Goosebumps appeared on the back of his neck.
“So it looks like you don’t want to die.”
Suddenly, Gwanpyeong opened his eyes again.
“How many people would want to be born as a human being and then die? “I just made a promise to you and accepted death accordingly.”
“know.”
“Keep your promise. You are a heavenly horse. The promise of the Heavenly Demon is more expensive than a thousand gold and heavier than a rock. “Don’t lower your status.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
It was a truly wonderful eye smile, but when Gwanpyeong saw it, he felt an unknown fear.
“Are you scared?”
“…!”
“Are you afraid that something more painful and miserable than death will happen?”
“…exactly.”
It was an honest admission.
Xu Liang nodded.
“I will not kill you.”
“Are you going to break the promise you made yourself? you are…!”
“Cheonmaji.”
“exactly. So keep your promise!”
“There is no place the Cheonma cannot go or anything it must not do. “The Heavenly Demon is someone who does not set limits and can cross anything, whether that line is morality, conscience, or law.”
Xu Liang’s hand grabbed Guan Ping’s shoulder.
Guan Ping’s body flinched. At the same time, his back became wet.
“Isn’t it true that you are someone who learned magic arts in a place ruled by the dangerous Heavenly Demon?”
“…!!”
“What’s more, inside that body, it’s not just a command group, it’s also filled with the Heavenly Demon God’s Order and our school’s top ten demonic powers. Oh my! “It would be a loss to immediately kill such a precious treasure because of a promise.”
“What do you want from me?!”
“Isn’t that what I’m saying?”
Xu Liang’s eyes flashed dangerously.
Guan Ping’s face was now completely white. Even if he is not a commander, the reigning Demon Emperor Qi of a concentration beyond imagination is eating away at his mind at an alarming rate.
“What can you do for me?”
“…?!”
“Other than your measly life, how can I repay the debt of countless elixirs and martial arts books?”
Wooooow.
The reigning Demon Emperor Qi flowed through Xiliang’s hands and instantly grabbed Guan Ping’s heart.
From Guan Pyeong’s mouth, gasp! A moan came out.
“How about making your death a little more worthwhile?”
* * *
“Hmm.”
Red Pine opened his eyes.
His face, which had become thin over the past few days, naturally aroused pity in those who saw it.
“This place…?”
At that time, a cheerful voice was heard from one side.
“Are you awake?”
Red Pine looked away.
The movement of the neck was very slow. There was no sign of a sick person who did not have much time left to live.
“What about you?”
“It’s called Hoyo Castle.”
Ho Yaoseong sat with his legs crossed and shrugged his shoulders.
“He holds the position of commander-in-chief of our school.”
Red Pine’s eyes deepened.
“You’re skinny.”
“yes?”
“Your face looks very tired. “It looks like you’ve been through a lot of trouble lately.”
“haha! “Do you want to just do a route ferry?”
“Is it that terrible?”
“It’s like looking at the inner ear. “It seems like you’ve been overdoing it a lot.”
Red Pine sighed.
It was a heavy and deep sigh. The breath oozing with dead energy even made the mood of the person next to him sink.
“How many days has it been?”
“Five days.”
“Five days… five days…”
“The congressman said it would be difficult to exceed three months even if you look at it long.”
This was not something to say to someone who had just regained consciousness. However, Red Pine calmly nodded.
“It’s a lot longer than I thought.”
“That’s right. He said he might never come to his senses, but he said his energy had improved drastically since this morning. So I came to see you in person.”
“What about Malco?”
“He is still lying in his cell. “I see that you are slowly regaining your strength, so I think you will come to your senses sometime tonight or tomorrow.”
“Thank goodness.”
“I don’t know if I’m lucky. “It is said that his life expectancy was similar to that of Seonbae.”
“For old people who are long past their time to go, three months is as long as thirty years.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
Red Pine gave strength to both arms.
I tried to get up, but all my strength was gone from every part of my upper body. Now it has reached a point where I can’t even get up on my own.
Hu Yaosheng silently supported Red Pine. He didn’t even bother telling the other person to lie down.
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
Red Pine laughed while looking at Ho Yo-seong.
“Uncharacteristically, your eyes are very clear.”
“Not all demons walk around with blood dripping from their eyes. “You would know, right?”
“yes. However, I thought you, the heartless hand that moves the Protestant religion, would be a person full of malice.”
“I don’t know how happy I am that I couldn’t live up to your expectations.”
“Wow, what a person.”
Hu Yaosheng’s face became serious.
“Is the anti-Jeonghoe meeting truly over?”
Red Pine closed his eyes.
To someone who has just come to their senses, such questions are dangerous before being rude. This is because your mind may become clouded and it may put a strain on your body.
However, Red Pine felt fortunate. To Hu Yaosheng, it was said to be as long as thirty years, but three months is only three months. If possible, it was better to do as much as possible in it.
“Can you help me?”
“Shall I guide you to the leader?”
“I hope so.”
Ho Yaoseong stood up from his seat.
“Put it on your back.”
Red Pine blinked.
“Up…tongue?”
“Please be my companion on the way.”
“…Hehehehehe!”
Red Pine burst into laughter.
“Okay, so you can do that. “There are so many strange things that happen in life, riding on the horse’s back.”
“That’s right. “I never thought I would do something like this in my lifetime, carrying a monk who was half-Buddha.”
“It would be rude if I did.”
A small look of regret appeared on the face of Hu Yaocheng, who was carrying a red pine tree.
‘It’s light.’
I never thought the weight of the giant who led the martial arts world would be so light.
Hu Yaosheng shouted in a cheerful voice.
“Come on! Let’s go to the leader!”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
