Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 592. Disciples of the Nine Great Heavenly Demons (2)

“The Heavenly Demon Immortals of Dominion Seonggyo. Gwanpyeong meets the sect leader.”

Xu Liang smiled vaguely.

“It’s been a while.”

“yes.”

“How have you been?”

“Thanks to the leader, the castle had a safe day.”

“It’s good that you are safe, but the reason I sent you to the central plain was to check the surrounding situation and at the same time secure funds and military power to prepare for an emergency.”

“I know.”

“I’m glad you didn’t forget. I guess you didn’t do things half-heartedly just because the war was over, right?”

Gwanpyeong spoke again.

“I will post the report right away.”

Seo-ryang, who was watching the official review, chuckled.

“It’s okay. I can tell just by hearing your voice. You were doing it right.”

“I apologize.”

“And…”

Seo-ryang nodded.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Guan Pyeong did not reply.

It is the reign of another god who became the master of Shinjyo following the succession of the previous head of the Gogeum Jeilma Lee Cheon-sang. Despite this, his posture and prayer were not disturbed in the slightest.

Seo-ryang was able to feel the unbelievable change in Gwanpyeong’s appearance.

‘You’ve become stronger.’

I got stronger. Martial arts are martial arts, but the mindset itself has changed.

Did he at least cultivate discipline on his own? His eyes, which seemed unstable when he was sent out of Shingyo, soon became as firm as a rock.

His prayer, as sharp as a sharp knife, proved that his heart was unwavering. Furthermore, it was proof that even the sense of defeat that had been impossible to erase until now had all been burned away.

“Get up.”

“yes.”

Seo-ryang tilted his head as he looked at Guan Ping, who stood up in a polite posture.

“Your mind and body have been corrected and your martial arts skills have also improved, but you look very tired. Was the work too much?”

“no.”

“Or are you already losing strength trying to fight alone with an ugly cult leader?”

It was a comment thrown as a joke. It was also a joke that would not have been thrown in the first place if the public opinion had not shown this level of change.

Indeed, the public response was surprising.

“Before you came, I had a dream about the former leader.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Master’s?”

“That’s right.”

“It must have been dull.”

“Compared to having a private meeting with the previous religious leader, it is as comfortable as sharing a drink in Mureungdowon.”

“ha ha ha.”

Seo-ryang, who was laughing out loud, spoke in a satisfied voice.

“Just take one step further.”

“yes?”

“Both my body and my martial arts skills have already reached their peak. To go beyond that level, I just need to sharpen my mind.”

“…!”

“You have thrown away the feeling of defeat and gained a sense of steadfastness. This is truly a huge improvement. But don’t forget this one thing. You are a demon.”

“Main….”

“Building up discipline to calm your mind is a natural process, regardless of whether you are positive or negative. You have fully strengthened yourself.

So now, all that is left is to break through your own limitations as a Demon.”

Guan Pyeong asked honestly.

“What does it mean to be a demon?”

“It’s desire.”

“…!”

“Being honest about your desires, but not being swayed by them. Controlling your desires is controlling the devil. Isn’t this the pinnacle of the devil?”

The peak of evil.

Guan Ping’s eyes wavered.

“Ultimate Demon…”

“The extreme level is a level that is difficult to reach with only expedients. I don’t want to bring up bad memories, but the reason Jin Gwan-yong was able to reach extreme demon status was not only because of expedients.”

“….”

“He was almost completely in control of his desires. That’s why he was able to rise to the top.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Of course, it wasn’t perfect because it had the help of a shortcut. That’s why it fell apart at the last minute.”

Gwanpyeong, who was quietly watching Seoliang, asked.

“Can you tell me?”

“what?”

“Can you tell me how to ascend to the peak? What if I rise to the peak and rebel against the sect leader?”

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“You can think about it later. But when I see you now, I can see the character of a seeker who wants to strive for his own perfection even when it is time to rebel.”

“….”

“And even if you rebel, you can’t help me with martial arts skills like yours.”

Gwanpyeong laughed without realizing it.

“I heard that you are called the Flame Demon God.”

“What a shameful star.”

“But it’s also a strangely fitting nickname. I heard that you single-handedly wiped out Damsayoung’s troops that were attacking Iron Blood Fortress.”

“It was quite a stretch.”

There was great composure on Seoryang’s face as he spoke as if he were joking.

It wasn’t pride or arrogance. It was simply the appearance of an absolute being with a firm belief in himself.

‘Is that why you became stronger?’

Guan Ping felt dazzled.

‘I really never imagined it would develop to this level.’

I couldn’t feel anything from Seo-ryang.

There was no majesty of a supreme king, no ferocity of a demon god, or ominousness of a god of death. Except for its extremely powerful presence, it was no different from any ordinary demon.

That was the state of Western Liang.

It was a rebuttal in the true sense of the word.

He possessed such great power that he seemed rather ordinary,

but he possessed a truly mysterious prayer that implicitly revealed the extraordinaryness of the unimaginable effort and experience he put into reaching that level.

Guan Pyeong was finally able to be sure.

‘He’s invincible.’

No one in the contemporary martial arts group could defeat Seoliang.

Even if numerous organizations, not just one individual, attacked in droves, they would not be able to kill Seoryang.

There was another Lee Cheon-sang who went far beyond human common sense and walked the path of a true god.

‘These are not empty words. Even if I reach the extreme level, you will be able to kill me in just one second. Well, since I’ve created the Reigning Demon Emperor, I can’t even resist in the first place.’

Is it because I realized the huge gap? Guan Pyeong actually felt relieved.

‘Now I can truly acknowledge this man as my master.’

Priest’s younger brother’s rival.

I sincerely welcome such a person as my lord. It was not an easy task, no matter how highly trained one was.

“But why did you come into this world? And…”

Gwanpyeong glanced behind Seoliang.

There were three men and women standing there with awkward faces.

They were Joo Seo-yoon, Jong Ri-young, and Chae Yeo-min.

“Why those guys?”

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“To show the world.”

“…?”

Guan Ping made an absurd expression.

“Just for that reason…?”

“That’s all? These guys don’t know much about the world yet. In the future, when I achieve the world of magic, I’ll have to do my part then, right?”

“Is that really the whole reason?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Of course that’s not all.”

Guan Ping’s eyes sparkled.

Although he had lived a wandering life until now, he was a man with wisdom in his own way.

Having learned the physiology of Kangho and the flow of the world while working as a branch leader, I had now gained the experience equivalent to a mid-level martial arts expert.

“There was no need for you to come to me at this time.”

“Do you think so?”

“Unless you want to start a new fight.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“You’re quick to notice.”

Guan Ping’s face hardened.

“Are you planning on cleaning up the midfield?”

“okay.”

“You think Damsayoung is alive.”

“There’s no way he’s dead.”

“He will start the war again first.”

“certainly.”

“Do you know where he is currently hiding?”

“They said it was Hebei Beijing. To be exact, it must be the imperial palace.”

“Then why don’t we reorganize our forces and attack right away?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“He hid all his power there. If he pours out all the power of the new religion, there is nothing he cannot sweep away, but the problem is the damage to our troops.”

Guan Ping’s eyes sparkled.

“It wouldn’t be unreasonable to interpret the statement that he has kept all his power hidden as meaning that this is his last chance.”

“yes.”

“They would have built a defense posture like an iron fortress. They could be wiped out, but it would cost a lot of sacrifice.”

Seo-ryang’s smile deepened. It was a sincere smile.

‘Good.’

Shingyo’s troops are demons. Gwanpyeong, who always thought only of himself, had grown to the point where he was worried about the safety of the demons.

‘Now I’m qualified.’

Guan Ping frowned. He understood the situation.

“Work has become tiring. If you look at what he has done so far, he will never show himself unless he is confident enough.”

“I guess so.”

“I would like to ask you one thing.”

“whatever.”

“How strong is this guy’s military strength?”

“I don’t know. I have a rough idea of the number of the Gyoryu Team, but I don’t know how many troops the Heavenly Dragon Palace has.

Moreover, many of the Seven Sect and Three Family troops have practiced the Heavenly Dragon Art, so if you add that up, the number would be in the thousands at best.”

“I guess we have to consider the imperial army as well.”

“okay.”

“Then…”

Guan Pyeong frowned.

“There will definitely be a lot of damage. Besides, we don’t have any information about their defenses.”

“that’s right.”

“In other words, the reason you came into the world was to organize the central government and at the same time attract Damsayoung?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“You’re only half right. You said it. He’ll come out when he’s ready.”

“That’s right. However, after observing the situation so far, he especially hates the cult leader. If his

hatred is that much, I think he might crawl out before he is fully prepared.”

“If he was the guy from before, he would definitely have done that. After all, he was the guy who even tried to stand alone with Master.”

“Now you’re saying you won’t do that.”

“Because it’s your last chance.”

Guan Ping’s eyes sparkled.

“Could it be that this is what the cult leader wants…?”

Xu Liang nodded.

“Yes. It won’t take a direct hit, but there is a way to destroy the rest of the army. It could even devastate his mind.”

“…I understand why you came here.”

“I’m sure you made sure to conduct an investigation, right?”

“We have surveyed all the streams in the north. There is so much volume that it will take time.”

“I hope it can be resolved within 10 days.”

“Ten days… That’s a bit tight. We’ll do our best.”

“good.”

It was a conversation whose meaning was difficult to understand. Joo Seo-yoon and Jong Li-young had to keep tilting their heads at the meaningless words they exchanged. Of course, Chae Yeo-min had nothing to say.

“It’s best to go in and rest first… Hmm?”

There was a look of surprise in Guan Pyeong’s eyes.

“Did someone from our army get hit?” ”

Hmm?”

“No, the prayer I could feel inside the carriage… One of them seems to be Ma’s escort, but the others are all dying, aren’t they? ?”

Xu Liang shrugged.

“I’m going to leave it like that. If possible, I would leave it to the doctor’s hands, but life is so tough that it doesn’t get any better or worse.” ”

Who is this?”

“Dang Yang-chung, the former head of the Tang family.”

“The Four Heavenly Envoys?!”

“Yes.”

Guan Pyeong stuck out his tongue.

“You really never stop having accidents.”

Seo-ryang burst into laughter.

“Who am I? Isn’t he the master of Protestantism at the time? This is no big deal.”

Gwanpyeong also burst into laughter.

“Yes, the leader is a heavenly demon.”

“Do you acknowledge it?”

Gwanpyeong cleared his throat and turned around.

“I’ll start work right away. I’ll tell my subordinates, and I’ll take it easy. Rest.”

Seo-ryang sneered as he watched Guan Ping moving away at a fast pace.

“You should be embarrassed.”
