Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 507 Bulgongdaecheon (不共戴天) (7)

“Commander in chief!”

“What did you say happened?!”

“We succeeded in recapturing it!”

Hu Yaosheng clenched his fists.

But he didn’t relax.

“What is the escape route?”

“It’s an overland route! “They say the waterway is under strict control!”

Of course it should be so.

He was not an opponent worthy of being attacked twice. Moreover, on the sea road, it was difficult to use the Hocheon Demon Emperor’s best advantage, the art of stealth.

But I didn’t know.

“Tell them to deploy speed boats in each major sea area! If you travel by land, you can’t help but pass through the territory of the Iron and Blood Castle! “If anything happens, you have to change to a waterway immediately!”

“I follow your orders!”

Hu Yaosheng bit his lip.

I tried to laugh. But it was not time to laugh yet.

‘Master.’

– You know that, right? When you are sure that the job has been completed successfully, that is the most dangerous moment. I want you to become a soldier who doesn’t let down his guard until the last moment.

I knew it without having to say it. However, Seoliang’s words were filled with strong persuasiveness and conviction. It was a confidence that came from experience.

That confidence was also conveyed to Ho Yo-seong. He decided not to relax until the Demon Lord placed the seal directly in his hands.

‘Thanks to the Namgung family’s secret plan, Anhui is relatively safe. ‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to escape to Anhui.’

But that can create new risks. They used the Namgung family to pressure Sanghyeolseong and at the same time diverted attention from Damsayoung, but in reality, the area of Sanghyeolseong will be more tense than anywhere else.

If you make a mistake, Sanghyeongseong can turn Anhui into a sea of fire. Of course, the Namgung family will not just let it go, but if it gets into a power struggle, the problem becomes bigger.

‘This is enough. Now is the time to fall.’

I was in frequent contact with Namgung Dan. Hu Yaoseong knew that Nangungdan was a man of great resourcefulness as well as martial arts.

‘He has an excellent eye for the game. It will fall out on its own. But I guess I should keep in touch just in case.’

Each thing must be examined carefully. As the leader said, now was the most dangerous moment.

Hu Yaosheng selected several chapters of letters and documents. It was a letter from King Namgung to Cheolhyeolseong and Seoliang.

“Please deliver this to each destination. ASAP.”

“yes!”

Hu Yaosheng buried himself in the chair.

Although his posture was languid, his eyes were shining frighteningly.

“All we have to do is for the teacher to return safely. Then it’s all over.”

Mudam stood on the left side of the trail and watched his surroundings. Ma Dong-pil’s spirits rose, starting from the pine tree on the right.

There were only two people, but they were experts at seeing where two hundred people could see. As an escort, as a hundred unmanned soldiers, he is omnipotent. When the two people settled down, they felt secure as if they were inside Cheolongseong Fortress.

Joo Seo-yoon, who was inside the carriage, closed her eyes and recited the nine lines of the Wonjeon Mu-seung-geom. Just by reciting it, I felt at ease and my inner energy became more active. It was a mysterious martial art.

The apostate monks of Paldaehowon volunteered to play the role of blocking the martial artists coming from afar in the rear. The martial arts people who came rushing in as they stood tall like the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings had no choice but to stop.

And among them was Seo-ryang.

As Xioliang remained silent, King Hu also bowed down and closed his eyes. Even the animal’s senses could tell that this was enemy territory, and yet it looked very comfortable.

No one in the group opened their mouths. Only silence surrounded the surroundings.

‘That’s fascinating.’

Hyesim’s face when she looked at them was strange.

‘Even though we’re in enemy territory, no one seems anxious. Calm and peaceful. This silence never feels heavy.’

Maybe it’s because of faith.

Faith in their master. Their unwavering loyalty to the Protestant God would have eliminated their anxiety.

Hye-sim suddenly asked curiously.

“But…”

“Hmm?”

“I can’t see one person.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Yeo Kang-hwi?”

“exactly. “I heard that the Sogungju of the Ice Palace is also there, but I can’t see him.”

“I have somewhere to send you.”

“Where to send it?”

Seoliang stroked King Hu’s head without saying a word. A cave-like sound came from the Tiger King’s throat.

There is no answer, so there is no point in asking again. Hyesim leaned against the tree and lowered her head.

After a while, Xi Liang opened his mouth.

“Is Shaolin safe?”

“You’re safe.”

“Right.”

The conversation was interrupted again.

After class, Hye-sim started the conversation this time.

“What are you going to do?”

“what?”

“I only heard that you were going to see Dam Sa-yeong. “I wonder what the cult leader plans to do with him.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“It is a foolish question. Damsayoung and I have so much to talk about. “Just meeting you is a major event.”

“Are you saying the purpose is not clear?”

“There are many purposes. “What is he thinking, where will his next move be, and…”

Seo-ryang’s eyes deepened.

“Did our calculations work?”

It seemed like there was a separate target.

However, there was one thing Hyesim was curious about.

“Are you going to miss this opportunity?”

“opportunity?”

“An opportunity to punish the evildoer who led the central region into chaos.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Kill me if you can?”

“I think it is good for the world.”

“Is this because he is an apostate monk? “You speak of death carelessly.”

“Whatever you think, it’s okay. As I looked at the acts committed by the man named Dam Sa-yeong, I wondered if there was anyone else in the history of Gangho who was as vicious as this. “I can assure you that there was no one like Dam Sa-yeong.”

Yeah, there’s no other guy like that.

He single-handedly brought down countless groups and soon took the collapsed organization under his command. As if that wasn’t enough, he went out into the world and rose from the bottom to become the Lord of Uicheon.

He was not satisfied even after becoming the leader of Uicheon, so he split the faction between the nine factions and the five factions, and then unleashed the poison of greed to pollute the political faction in an uncharacteristic way. After that, he made the majority of the sects that turned vicious into his own limbs.

He even established a relationship with the crown prince in preparation for any unexpected situation. Or perhaps it was an attempt to conquer the martial arts and devour the imperial palace. Considering Dam Sa-young’s greed, that was enough.

“Even though we are enemies, I have to admit it. “He is a man who has lived a very fierce life.”

Regardless of the immorality of the act, I cannot say that it is truly amazing. It was surprising that he maintained that intense desire even as he grew older, and the drive to achieve it all with his own hands rather than letting it just be a desire was also amazing.

Seo-ryang couldn’t help but be amazed when he saw what Dam Sa-yeong had done.

If nothing else, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his ability to gather power and use it as his base was one of the best of all time. As far as his abilities are concerned, he will be superior to himself and Lee Cheon-sang.

Of course, neither I nor Lee Cheon-sang felt the need to do so, so we did not try.

“Any wicked person in the world has something to imitate. “He is a difficult enemy to forgive, but I think we have something to learn from Dam Sa-young.”

Hyesim’s eyes deepened.

“There is something to learn from everyone. But since the target is Damsa-yeong, it’s something I don’t want to hear.”

The world of Shaolin was trampled to such an extent by one Damsayoung. As the Shaolin leader of Taesanbukdu, Hye-sim hated Damsa-yeong.

And the moment he excommunicated himself, he went from being a monk who followed Buddhism to becoming an extreme warrior who did not hesitate to make truly evil judgments.

Xu Liang smiled.

“You have hatred in your heart.”

“It contains a hatred as deep as the sea.”

“Have you given up on reaching liberation?”

“What good is liberation for a guy like me? Even if I knew that way, I wouldn’t be able to follow it, and I don’t want to follow it.”

Hyesim went from a monk to a layperson. But even as he said that, his Buddhist intentions still remained. Because that’s what I’ve learned my whole life.

However, his unbending and unbreakable nature may have urged him to make such an extreme choice.

“If we can just get rid of Damsayoung, that’s enough.”

Xu Liang stood up.

“Later.”

“…?”

“Later, when this crazy war is over. “If the chaos cannot be resolved even after Dam Sa-yeong dies and the world regains stability, be sure to come to me then.”

Hyesim’s eyes wavered.

Seoyang narrowed one eye.

“There is an insight left by Jeoksong Noh Bae. “I will pass that realization on to you as well.”

“To me… you mean?”

“Even though you are an apostate monk, I knew that your soul is still destined for Seongsan.”

Confusion appeared on Hyesim’s face.

There was no question about what enlightenment the Four Baek left behind was. However, there was a question as to whether it was possible for an ordinary person to receive such enlightenment.

Seo-ryang saw himself in the past when he saw Hye-sim.

I was so consumed with endless hatred that I could not even look back on myself, let alone the world.

“Step aside.”

“…?”

“A villain appears.”

Hyesim, surprised, looked up the trail.

‘…?!’

What Xu Liang said was right.

I didn’t know when I wasn’t aware of it, but I knew the moment I heard he was coming down.

Phew.

It was a strange momentum.

The expression “mysterious” and “bizarre” are also appropriate. The expression that it is clear is also suitable, and the expression that it is creepy is also suitable.

It was a prayer that could not be described in any single word and had no end in sight. Regardless of the strength or weakness of the prayer, the atmosphere itself was very unique.

‘This kind of energy?!’

Hyesim trembled.

Phew!

Red energy spontaneously rose from Ma Dong-pil’s body. Mudam’s steely prayers trembled softly.

The King of Tigers cried lowly and stood up. Joo Seo-yoon momentarily forgot the phrases of the nuclear power plant that she was reciting.

An absolute being who would have a great influence on everyone here was coming. The bizarre air wave that naturally penetrates and explodes in an instant was like a gust of wind that reached all the way to the sky.

Xiliang’s eyes sparkled with fire.

‘at las.’

This is how we met.

He was raised like a dog who raised him to be the king of life.

I was raised with a thoroughly dirty knife and made to live a life I didn’t want.

The enemy of Cheolcheonji, the enemy of Bulgongdaecheon, who had filled the bottomless pit with sorrow, was approaching.

‘How long has it been?’

I don’t know. Time didn’t matter.

‘How strong you have become.’

I don’t know. I couldn’t estimate it.

‘To what extent have you grown?’

I don’t know. However, I could tell that he attempted to change once again at his age.

Let’s go!

Lightning like a waterfall spread out from Seo-ryang’s body.

hook!

It was a subversive energy that seemed to blow away the strange energy that had permeated like fog. It was the strongest magic technique that could only be realized by those who received the fortune telling from Pasun, the master of the Heavenly Demon Church.

“It’s amazing.”

Voice shaking slightly.

A ray of shadow could be seen on the other side of the trail.

“I thought it would be amazing, but it was far beyond my imagination. Are you saying that even with this kind of energy, you were able to come up with such a cold-hearted and unconventional strategy? “You’re not a person.”

Xiliang’s eyes sparkled fire.

Finally, the contemporary Cheonma, with the same eyes on a completely different face, captured the strongest enemy.

Dam Sa-young said with an admiring face.

“Nice to meet you. “It’s called Damsa-yeong.”

Xu Liang smiled brightly.

“Nice to meet you. I am Seoryang.”
