Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 189 Non-human outside road (3)

“The weather is about to get quite cool.”

Sang-gan shook his head at Lee Sung’s drowsy words.

“Aren’t you a native of Guangdong, Captain?”

“yes.”

“I am from Shandong. This place is 90,000 miles away from Hundred Thousand Mountains. “Not only civilians, but even quite a few martial people would rarely travel this distance.”

“What do you want to say?”

“It’s hot.”

Sangan said seriously.

“It’s seriously hot. It’s been 15 years since I joined the school, and I still can’t get used to the weather. “I guess I’ll have to wait until winter to survive.”

“Train your martial arts hard. At the very least, it should be inviolable between the two countries.”

“It’s different from being an invincible person. Damn this damn humidity must be awful.”

“Have you even stepped on the edge of invulnerability in the Hanseo region?”

“….”

“Or don’t say anything, you bastard.”

“What about you, Captain?”

“me? “I stepped on it already.”

“uh? “Is this your first time hearing that?”

“It’s a good phenomenon. When trying to find out about someone else’s martial arts level, stand up straight and alert. “When you have time, don’t lie down and rest, but at least grab the knife one more time.”

Sangan couldn’t help but be impressed.

The sumunwisa is the face of the munpa. It is not a position that can be held by a dog or a cow.

Of course, it is impossible to become a gatekeeper of the Heavenly Demon Church, the headquarters of the Demonic Martial Arts, without any level of martial arts. As a bonus, you must be familiar with formalities and laws, and be quick-witted.

However, I had no idea that the leader had already reached the level of inviolability in the Korean and Western languages. Imperviousness in Hanseo means a state in which the supply and demand of internal energy is completely free, and even those who are so-called peak experts cannot even dare to do it unless their Qigong is mature.

“Anyway, I hope winter comes soon.”

“It’s going to get busy when winter comes. “It’s going to be a mess to prepare for the Passun Festival or worry about each organization’s performance in the second half of the year.”

“Because that’s not what I do.”

“Be cute.”

“…?”

“Love our school, man.”

“ah.”

“ah? Anyway, this guy has good speed. “Don’t you have any ambition?”

“I am very satisfied with my position. “Do you think anyone can be the gatekeeper of the Heavenly Demon Church?”

“It’s good to be proud of your job, but you tend to be too complacent.”

Sangan sighed.

“Just because you work hard doesn’t mean you can become the teacher’s disciple.”

Isung raised his eyes at those words.

“The leader’s disciple? You’re crazy. They are people chosen by God. “It’s not like you’re going to fall if you look up in the first place.”

“i know. “I know, that’s right.”

“Just be complacent with reality. “It’s better than dreaming a dream that doesn’t come true.”

“Phew… I didn’t want to be like the Grand Duke, so I wanted to at least be like the Three Dukes.”

Lee Soong said as if he was shocked.

“Is this crazy? Do you think it’s easy to be like the Three Dukes?”

“I’m just saying that.”

Sangan gave a vague idea that it was going to be noisy, but Lee Soong had no intention of stopping.

Even though he couldn’t say it openly to others, he was an ardent supporter of the Three Princes, called Demon Lords, and it was difficult for him to ignore the words of incest.

“Hey! To you, Samgongja, you are a monster that cannot even be described as a genius. “Don’t you know that even though you lost all your martial skills due to entering a demon, you have reached the same level as him in just two years?”

“i know. “I know.”

“Is that all? Look at the harmony and drive you have shown so far. “I can guarantee that among the Uicheonmaeng beggars and iron-blooded prostitutes, there is not a single one who can compare to the Three Princes.”

Whenever the story of the Three Confucius comes up, his face brightens and he speaks passionately. Sangan regretted saying something unnecessary.

Of course, due to my very honest personality, I couldn’t stop the words from coming out without my knowledge.

“Still, you can’t compare to the Archduke when it comes to martial arts, right? Grand Duke, have you heard the rumor? They say you have awakened the Extreme Demon. There are only a few people in the history of Protestantism who realized the Ultimate Demon before becoming a Buddha…”

At that time, a group of people could be seen coming from afar, creating a cloud of dust.

Lee Soong and Sanggan closed their mouths and straightened their postures. Those who come to this, the main gate among the many outer castle gates of Shingyo, are definitely demons belonging to Shingyo.

A moment later, a woman appeared carrying a dazzling white deformed sword.

“It’s Gwangma Daeju. “I’m on my way back after completing my mission.”

“Please show me your card.”

Wei Hongryeon took out a tile from her arms as if she was used to it. It was a black iron plate symbolizing Gwangma Daeju.

After checking the iron plate, Lee Soong bowed his head.

“Thank you for your hardships on your journey. “Let the superior put a message inside.”

As Sangan immediately pulled the thick rope next to the gate, busy movement was felt inside the gate.

Kugugoogung!

The sound of the huge castle gate opening was very majestic.

“Oh and.”

Wei Hongryeon pointed back with her thumb.

“The Three Princes and their guests are also riding in that carriage.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“…what? “Why are you so surprised?”

Wei Hongryun looked back.

“Sam Gongja.”

It rattled.

The carriage door opened and a handsome young man of good physique got out.

Lee Soong’s face flushed and Sanggan’s eyes widened.

Huh.

The posture of the two people naturally became stiff due to the gentle waves of energy.

A young man, Seo-ryang, walked by.

“I’m sorry. My body is so tired that I can’t control my energy well. Please understand.”

“Oh no!”

“I’m going to see the leader right away, so please add a separate message.”

“yep!”

After a while, Isung glanced at Sanggan, who was watching the carriage enter the castle gate.

Sangan’s face was truly a sight to behold. He was staring blankly at the carriage as it was moving away, with an expression as if he were possessed by a fox.

“How do you feel?”

Lee Soong laughed like a bad boy.

“Your Majesty, you’re not the only one who has reached the highest level, right?”

* * *

“With this, I have told you everything I have summarized over the past ten days.”

“Good job.”

Ho Yaoseong sighed softly. My eyes were sunken, as if I hadn’t slept well.

Lee Cheon-sang lifted his index finger.

Ugh.

A lump of medicinal material flew from somewhere and landed in front of Ho Yo-seong.

“Huh? “What is this, leader?”

“I heard it’s good for fatigue.”

“Haha, you are the only one who thinks about me.”

“Be strong and work harder.”

…I don’t think I’ll just be grateful.

Ho Yaoseong, holding the medicine in his arms, stood up.

“Enough….”

“What about the secret shrine these days?”

It was a sudden question, but Hu Yaosheng answered with a smile.

“it’s okay. The budget is big and the new kids are working quickly. “It’s going well.”

“Thank goodness.”

Um what is it?

Hu Yaosheng was inwardly curious. I knew that Lee Cheon-sang sometimes asked random questions, but he never asked about the monument.

The Secretariat is an intelligence organization within the military department that collects and analyzes information not only within the school but also from across the Central Plains. Although it belongs to the military department, due to the nature of the organization, it can operate independently.

“The organizational evaluation of Bigak in the first half of this year was very excellent.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Let’s slowly move back to the suburbs.”

“…yes?”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass without saying a word.

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.

‘Moving to the suburbs? Then…’

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, he opened his mouth again.

“Are you saying that we should look more actively into Kangho’s situation?”

“That’s right.”

It’s not at the level of asking you to pay more attention. The idea was to turn the staff in charge of school information out to the outside world.

“All right. “Can I just ask why?”

Lee Cheon-sang said after emptying his glass.

“I just thought it was about time.”

The reason is not clear. The word was persimmon.

Hu Yaosheng lowered his head.

“As of this moment, I will shift 90% of the eyes of the monument to the suburbs.”

“I know.”

It would have been better if I knew the reason, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t know. Lee Cheon-sang’s sense is excellent even when discussing the best in the midfield. If he felt that way, it was clear that something unusual would happen sooner or later.

At that time, Ho Yo-seong got up from his seat and was about to leave Daejeon and say hello to Lee Cheon-sang.

‘…’

He thought for a moment about what came to mind and spoke in a slightly heavier tone.

“It’s late summer now. “Autumn will come soon.”

“Right.”

“Each organization will be very busy to start the second half of the year, right?”

“I guess so.”

“I guess the people with the most freedom are the successor candidates.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass again without answering.

Ho Yaoseong asked.

“Are you planning on making the board in earnest?”

“I don’t make the boards, they make them themselves.”

“Of course it is.”

“Those who will rise will do whatever it takes to rise, and those who will fall will fall no matter what they do.”

“Still, you’re trying to make the playing field as fair as possible.”

“There is no such thing as fairness in this world.”

Hu Yao-seong, who was quietly looking at Li Cheon-sang, soon bowed down.

“I’ll just go now.”

“Sure.”

At that time, Mine’s voice was heard outside the gates of Daejeon.

“Master. The Three Dukes request an audience.”

Ho Yaoseong’s eyes widened.

‘already?’

Lee Cheon-sang said.

“Let them in.”

Kugoogung!

The gate of Daejeon opened and Seo-ryang walked in.

Xu Liang looked at Hu Yaocheng as if it was unexpected.

“You two were talking. Should I wait outside?”

“The conversation with the Commander-in-Chief is over.”

“Oh, you came at the right time.”

Hu Yaosheng lowered his head and passed by him. Since it was the main battle of the Demon God Palace, he couldn’t talk about it privately. He instead spoke with eye greetings.

Seo-ryang also nodded and then paused. The look in Huo Yao-seong’s eyes was unusual.

‘The look in your eyes is as if you’re telling me to come over for a cup of tea.’

Just like that, Hu Yao-seong left and only Seo-ryang and Lee Cheon-sang remained.

“I’m home.”

“Sit down.”

“Oh yeah.”

Seoyang flopped down on the spot.

Even if you wash your eyes and look for politeness, there was no such thing as behavior. However, neither Seo-ryang, who sat without hesitation, nor Lee Cheon-sang, who was blunt, seemed to care much.

Xu Liang lowered his head and sighed.

“I really almost died this time.”

“It’s the path you chose.”

“If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes lit up with a tired face.

“The internal wounds haven’t healed yet.”

“It lasts longer than I thought.”

“Because it’s not just an internal injury.”

Seoliang looked up at Li Cheonsang with puzzled eyes.

“Are there simple and complex things in the inner world?”

“You didn’t know?”

“…?”

Seo-ryang scratched his head.

The road from Yunnan to Xingyo was truly a tiring journey. I drove the carriage without stopping several times with the intention of resting only after arriving at Shingyo.

Of course, I focused on controlling my internal injuries the entire way. As he reached the level of the ultimate demon, he was not restricted by posture or external stimulation, so he was able to control his inner self without having to sit cross-legged.

But even so, the internal injuries did not fully heal. Although the recovery itself was excellent, the turbidity was constantly rising, so there was no significant improvement as a result.

An internal injury that could not be caught by either the Kuyumagong or the Muaegong.

In the end, I had to come here in that awkward state.

Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking down at Seoryang, stood up from his seat.

“Would you like a drink?”

The indifference of offering alcohol to someone whose internal injuries haven’t completely healed.

Seoyang grunted and stood up.

“I hope it’s a good drink.”

While saying those words, Seo-ryang thought. He said he has changed a lot too.

I never imagined that the distribution would become so large that it would cause complaints from the Heavenly Demon of the time. When I think about the past, I feel like I have grown a lot.

‘If I had lived without dying, I would have been past my 60th birthday.’

Well, what does age have to do with changing people? The world you see at 30 and the world you see at 40 are very different.

After a while, the two people went up to the pavilion and sat down facing Datak.

‘That’s cool.’

The climate of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which extend across Guangdong and Guangxi, is quite hot.

But was life in Yunnan unexpectedly long? The air felt very refreshing. The fresh air seemed to calm my boiling inner thoughts a little.

“Take it.”

“yes.”

The scent of liquor being poured was very pleasant.

After becoming sober, I didn’t particularly enjoy drinking unless I was drinking with Lee Cheon-sang. This is because I thought there was no point in drinking alcohol if I wasn’t drunk.

But today I somehow felt like I could get drunk. I also wanted to get drunk.

“Thank you….”

“Before you drink.”

“yes?”

“Take care of yourself first. Right Now.”

He emptied his glass alone and spoke bluntly.

“I can’t let you drink this precious drink like that. If you continue to show incompetence in not being able to heal even trivial internal injuries, I will kick you out right away.”

…Ah, why are you like this again?
