Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 528 The Aesthetics of Demons (3)

“Heo-eok!”

Damsayoung took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

Dan Lihu hurriedly approached him.

“Are you okay?”

“…Okay.”

He caught his breath in an instant.

But Dan Lihu saw it. Dam Sa-young’s eyes became very cruel.

“What happened?”

“….”

“Master.”

“That’s why I told you not to come forward.”

“yes?”

Damsayoung shook her head.

“The Lord of Heavenly Dragon Palace met with Heavenly Ha-jin.”

“Yes I know that. It was definitely a dragon puppet technique…”

“He knew. “The Lord of Heavenly Dragons has entered the body of the Great Protector of the Demonic Cult.”

“…!!”

If that happens, the story will be different.

Dan Lihu, who remembered the insight of Xu Liang, the personality of the Lord of the Heavenly Dragons, felt his heart grow urgent.

“What did you hear?”

“I need to prepare the history of the blood god again.”

“yes?!”

“The place where the Seven Pillars of War in Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi were executed has been discovered.”

Dan Lihu’s face hardened.

Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi were the places that boasted the highest quality among the blood god lakes spread across the northern part of the Central Plains.

“If I were to get caught, I would go to those three places…!”

“Because those three places are the places that are most clearly located in the subconscious mind of the Heavenly Dragon Palace Lord.”

“How on earth did you get caught?”

It wasn’t the time to ask this, but I couldn’t just ignore it. How could he, no matter how wise he was, be able to look into the mind of the Lord of Heavenly Dragons?

Lord Tianlonggong was not a person accustomed to worldly strife, but at least he was not an idiot. He is not an easy person to be caught by the other person’s leading questions.

“I was subjected to a bizarre attack. “It was the first time even the Lord of Heavenly Dragon Palace had seen this method.”

Dan Lihu sighed.

“I will contact you there right away.”

“okay.”

“If this happens, the other side may strike first. We should prepare accordingly…”

“I don’t know.”

Damsayoung frowned.

“I don’t know that. How does it move? “It’s right that I need to capture the blood sacred energy of three castles just for the sake of one, but… I thought maybe he could let that go.”

“Then there is one thing we will focus our efforts on.”

Dam Sa-yeong looked at Dan Li-hu.

Dan Lihu’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s put down the royal seal for a moment and blow up the ice palace. “Anyway, they will definitely try to bring back the royal seal, even if it means risking the war being prolonged, so we will dispatch another force.”

“…Right.”

Dam Sa-yeong’s eyes glowed with a vicious murderous spirit.

“Yes, I had a hard time chasing after it for dozens of days. “Let’s bury them all.”

* * *

“What do you think?”

“First of all, there is no major problem with the body, but it is said that it will be difficult for him to come to his senses for a while due to the severe shock from the battle.”

“I guess that’s true too.”

“yes. Fortunately, it is said that the will of the Great Protector was so strong that the moment the magician’s energy was synchronized, he instinctively used demonic energy to protect his spiritual power. “If it weren’t for that, no matter how much I tried to protect myself, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid death.”

Xiliang’s eyes grew cold.

“You do interesting things.”

Ho Yaoseong sighed.

“The problem is that their move may force us to expand the enemy’s range.”

“hmm.”

“If even in the unlikely event that even the Iron Blood Lord becomes a puppet… the strategy that has been using the Iron Blood Lord so far may be completely useless.”

“We can’t leave it like that.”

“Do you have compound eyes?”

After being lost in thought for a moment, Seo-ryang opened his mouth.

“First, send a letter to the Lord of Iron Blood Castle. “Let’s meet as soon as possible.”

“…All right.”

“And conduct a thorough investigation into Sanghyeolseong.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

“What do you plan to do?”

“From Panmajeong’s perspective, the technique did not boast enough versatility to be able to be used on anyone. At most, there are three. Moreover, the limits were clear. “It seemed difficult to bet against someone whose capabilities exceeded that of a magician.”

“Then the Iron Blood Holy Lord…?”

“That’s a bit ambiguous. “It certainly seems like they were playing a prank on the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle, but it feels strange.”

“Are you resisting?”

“maybe?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“In any case, we will have to move based on the judgment that the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle has also become a puppet. First, after thoroughly investigating the situation within the Iron Blood Fortress, if you feel that he is making any suspicious movements, as soon as possible…”

“Sir.”

“ok?”

“Excuse me for speaking, but have you not seen more than that from the Lord of Heavenly Dragon?”

“The Lord of Heavenly Dragons boasted a stronger defense than anyone else’s mental power. “At Panmajeong, we were able to look into at least part of it because we thoroughly provoked the opponent.”

Hu Yaosheng was lost in thought for a moment.

‘If the leader found out everything about Heavenly Dragon Palace, it would be more difficult for us to make the first move since we only got limited information.’

If I had not known, I would have been able to figure out each and every tactic used by the enemy during a conflict between troops. The sacrifice is great, but it can actually take advantage of the enemy’s tactics.

But not now.

The people involved, Lord Cheonryonggung and Dam Sayoung, may also have realized that they had found out at least a little bit of information from this side due to the extremely limited information.

‘The fight has stopped. At least for the time being, we can’t use any tricks against each other’s base. The situation is too dangerous to touch the other person and see their reaction.’

In other words, there is a high probability of touching a side other than the main base. Since the fight between main base and main base has stopped, it would be better to cut off the opponent’s limbs first.

‘Then…’

Ho Yo-seong bit his lip.

“Master.”

“huh?”

“First, I will have to send separate letters to the Ice Palace and the Demon Lord.”

“Binggung? Why is the demon king spirit again?”

“If they also know that the sect leader looked into the mind of the Heavenly Dragon Palace Lord, they would never be able to provoke us. So to speak, the fighting stopped for a while.”

For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Are we going to start pruning?”

As expected, I enjoy talking with the religious leader.

“That’s right. No, that is highly likely. We’re not sure what the other side is planning, but the flow of the fight has been broken up. “The most dangerous thing right now is ice bathing.”

“I will give up the royal seal and blow away the unstable troops first… Yes, that seems plausible. No, that would be the most likely.”

“Take care and I will contact you.”

“We can’t help, right?”

“It’s not possible. This lull must either resolve naturally or be broken by a third party. “The moment anyone steps forward and resumes fighting, it will inevitably enter into an all-out war.”

Xiliang sighed.

“What a fucking situation.”

“All you have to do is tell them to hide somehow. “The moment the fight resumes, you just have to move again and that’s it.”

“Yes, it would be nice if that were possible.”

The problem is Binggung’s pride.

They joined hands with the Heavenly Demon Church and endured many things. Of course, the peace between the two groups originated from the sincere goodwill between the leaders, but Bingunggung also had its own pride.

“Send it with my seal. Never face it. “If they plan to attack the Ice Palace, then they will really try to finish it off.”

“All right.”

“And is there more?”

“Please give me some time to think.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes became infinitely deeper.

‘The fight between our school and Damsayoung has stopped. Then, there is only one group that can make this fight start again, and that can turn the tables on the natural power vacuum.’

Iron blood.

Although it is a level below the forces held by Shingyo and Damsayeong, the presence of Iron Blood Castle itself can have a tremendous influence on the great nation.

‘If you are Dam Sa-young, you will know. The fact that the leader is suspicious of the Iron Blood Lord. So what are his options?’

Are you planning to turn the Iron Blood Lord into a puppet? Or will you threaten him? Or would he think of using the Iron Blood Castle wine to blow up the Iron Blood Castle itself?

‘You can’t blow it away. Dam Sa-young is a greedy person. If I think it’s a useful force, I’ll never let go of it. Furthermore, Dam Sa-young is the type of person who always pays back what has been wronged. Since I was betrayed by the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle, I will try to control and sway him somehow.’

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

‘Then should we grab and shake the Iron Blood Seongju before Damsayoung?’

Or…

At that time, Seo-ryang opened his mouth.

“One thing is certain.”

“yes?”

“No matter how fast we move, we can’t meet the Iron Blood Lord faster than Damsayoung’s side.”

Hu Yaosheng nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Damn it, then would it be better to kill the Iron Blood Lord? “Should I go myself?”

It may be a radical statement, but it could also be a method. Killing the enemy’s leader without them knowing makes the enemy’s useful cards useless.

“But that method is risky. “The leader’s safety is also good, but if the Damsa Young side finds out that they killed the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle and moves the Iron Blood Castle, even without the rare expert called Sanggeumbaek, the powerful forces of the Four Sect Alliance will point their swords at our church.”

“I guess so.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“Just one glance at the head of the Heavenly Dragon Palace made the situation too big.”

“It was force majeure. “The leader did what he had to do.”

“shit.”

“But…”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes narrowed.

“That’s it.”

There was a plan in his head from earlier.

But the plan had very little chance of success. If even one of them fails, Shingyo will be punished by poison.

‘We must not think of preventing the intervention of the Iron Blood Castle or disbanding it. Rather, you need to devise a way to use your iron-blooded nature to push your opponent. Offense is the best defense. You have to think like that and act like that.’

It was then.

“Total military.”

“yes?”

“How about this instead?”

Seo-ryang said something meaningful.

“You are encouraging discord in the Iron Blood Castle.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

“I was just thinking about that too, but…”

“If we fail, the risks we have to take will be too great in many ways.”

“That’s right.”

The eyes of the two people collided with sparks flying.

Xu Liang smiled coolly.

“Has there been anything we’ve done so far that had a high chance of winning?”

“yes.”

“….”

“There were quite a few….”

“It’s noisy!”

“A risk!”

“Anyway, we have to use every possible method. “I think it’s better to take at least one step further than to worry about the aftermath of failure.”

Hu Yaosheng sighed.

“It’s really dangerous this time. The reason is that we cannot bring in even a single person from our side. To control the Iron Blood Castle in a situation where you don’t even know what’s going on…”

“What are you talking about?”

“…yes?”

“Even if they aren’t from our side, there is someone I have a connection with, right? “If he decides to do so, he will be able to tell us what is happening inside Sangvis Castle faster than anyone else.”

At that moment, Huo Yao-seong’s eyes sparkled.

“That’s right. There was a person like that. “Why did I forget?”

“Cluck.”

“Do you think it would be okay to use that person as a messenger?”

“That’s unreasonable. That guy only has a relationship with me and is not under my control. Moreover, I am in the position of ruling over one clan.”

“Anyway, I can see the light.”

“yes.”

Xi Liang clenched his fists.

“Contact Hao Wen. With payment.”
