Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 604. Awakening (4)

Indeed, Seoryang, who had sat cross-legged for the first time in a long time, looked very peaceful.

However, contrary to his calm appearance, menacing encephalitis was overflowing around his body.

Grumbling. Flash! Flash!

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes deepened as he watched Seoryang’s performance from the side.

‘That’s amazing.’

The fire coming out was not that hot, despite its appearance.

Although it clearly had the shape of a flame and was the most powerful fire weapon in the world, the Gu Yuma Fire, its temperature was not even that of boiling water.

‘It’s a free poem.’

If you decide to unleash Guyumahwa, the entire place will turn into a fiery hell.

Taking that into consideration, the religious leader lowered the temperature of Mahwa significantly. And yet, he was controlling his inner strength with faster and more stable movements than anyone else in the world.

‘I thought I came up high enough.’

Ma Dong-pil felt a sense of wonder.

‘Will I really be able to survive and reach the same level as me?’

That wasn’t all.

Jiiiing. puck!

The electric light that spread throughout the body had now become so dark that it would be awkward to call it gray-black.

The color became darker than the day before yesterday. Although it cannot be compared to the lightning of the former religious leader Lee Cheon-sang, the lightning of the religious leader is also black, so it is not enough to describe it.

‘Has the reigning demon emperor and the former demon king reached a point where there is nowhere else to climb?’

Or is there another level beyond that?

I don’t know. I couldn’t figure it out. For Ma Dong-pil, who had only just entered the Thirteen Demon Lords Terror Ceremony, just looking at that state was enough to make him lose his mind.

‘Master.’

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes twinkled.

‘Soon, the world of Demon Island is just around the corner. As a subject, I hope that you, too, will go to the same place that your predecessors reached, but the world is wide and there is a lot of time.’

He was a person who had always admired Seoryang’s overwhelming growth.

But now I was anxious.

Even after reaching that level, I was anxious about the effort, the mind that thought about martial arts every day, and the talent that wisely broke through any stagnation.

I am afraid that sooner or later he will fly away to a high place like the previous leader did.

I was truly afraid that he would enter a world of myth that could not be stopped by human will, throw off his human shell, and disappear from this world.

Ma Dong-pil hoped that the religious leader would enjoy everything.

I sincerely hoped that you would have all the happiness and experiences that can be enjoyed in the human world.

“Whoa.”

Xu Liang took a deep breath.

Pop!

The threatening light and brilliant fireworks disappeared in an instant.

Ma Dong-pil came out of his thoughts.

“Are you awake?”

“okay.”

“You finished it much faster than I thought.”

“I can’t concentrate because someone is looking at me with hot eyes.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face suddenly became awkward.

“sorry.”

“It’s a joke.”

“I know.”

“But why do you keep saying sorry?”

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t take it as a joke.”

Xu Liang burst out laughing.

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

Seoyang stood up and looked around.

“It looks like the Emperor is resting.”

“That’s right. My body has completely recovered, but the journey to get here was quite long.”

“But we can’t rest forever.”

Xi Liang visited Zhou Qing.

“Emperor.”

“…I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, but how long do you plan to call me emperor?”

“You call the emperor Emperor, so what do you call him?”

“You too, make me your majesty.”

“hate.”

“That person is right.”

Although he said so, Zhu Qing secretly liked Xu Liang’s title. This was especially true after bringing the imperial troops from the imperial palace.

Until now, everyone who knew Zhou Qing used the title Sang-tae.

However, Xu Liang proudly calls him emperor. That simple yet clear title gives Jucheong its own power.

“Okay, why don’t you take a break? What brought you all the way to Ye?”

“I have a body that doesn’t need to sleep. Rest.”

“Hum.”

“Now, I’m going to start slowly. There isn’t much time left anyway, so I have to hit it as fast as I can.”

Zhou Qing’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“What’s not okay?”

“That’s true.”

“I hope you don’t think that I’m going to teach our school’s secret techniques. No matter how much I am the leader, I can’t do that. However, since they are martial arts that I have improved in my own way and removed their demonic energy, they will be more useful than they are now.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

At first glance, there was a hint of bitterness on Seo-ryang’s face.

“We’re in a situation where we’re sending them to a battlefield where they don’t have to fight. We should at least give them decent weapons.”

Zhou Qing chuckled.

“If it’s a battlefield where there’s no need to fight, why are we sending it there?”

“Because I believe it’s the right way.”

“is it?”

“okay.”

“You’re not sending us away with the intention of killing us all, are you?”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Well, someone might think that way.”

“Honestly, I doubted it for a moment. This guy is finally showing his true colors. He’s sending them to the imperial palace where enemy troops are concentrated to induce their mutual destruction. It looks like he’s trying to become emperor himself.”

“It’s cute. What does the emperor say?”

“That’s right. It’s because of your attitude that I quickly realized that it was unnecessary to worry. In my life, I have never seen anyone who treats the position of emperor as trivially as you do.”

“The demons look up to me as a god. I’m already a god, but I’m like an emperor.”

“Giggles.”

In the past, when I heard things like this, I would pretend not to think, but I would still cry inside. I felt really bad because it seemed like Xi Liang was looking down on the imperial palace and the empire.

But now even the provincial office knows. This is just Seoliang’s personality.

No respect is given to the emperor or the imperial palace. But when you treat yourself, you treat it with respect.

This is because people are viewed as human beings themselves, not their status.

“Then I’ll call the general.”

“okay.”

After a while, Sogonghwi appeared in the vacant lot in front of the residence.

So Gong-hwi immediately knelt down.

“I have an audience with Your Majesty, Emperor Xiao Gonghui, the new Imperial Commander.”

Because the location was such that he omitted the details of imperial etiquette. Of course, if it weren’t for Zhou Qing’s order, it would have been long and complicated, and the listener would have been frustrated to death with a formality that would have taken up half of the speech.

Zhou Qing’s expression was full of dignity.

“What about the Emperor?”

“All fifty-six thousand imperial troops are resting.”

“How is your physical condition?”

“Everyone has fully recovered.”

That can’t be possible. No matter how well-trained the imperial army is, each person has different talents and differences.

Probably close to half of the imperial army was still unconscious from fatigue. I’m just overcoming it with mental strength.

Zhou Qing looked at Xu Liang and asked.

“Could you please avoid the seat?”

“okay.”

“I understand.”

Zhou Qing stood up.

“As of this moment, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church will teach you advanced martial arts.”

“…?!”

“Gyoju Seo is the greatest martial artist of his time and one of the rare martial artists who can be compared even when talking about old and new times. Study with all your heart so as not to forget each of his teachings.”

So Gong-hwi was embarrassed, but soon lowered his head.

“I follow your Majesty’s orders.”

He clearly saw the Demonic Cult’s unhuman spirit.

I couldn’t even imagine what kind of principle such a martial arts technique was used for. It could be said that it was a great fortune for a warrior to be able to learn martial arts from such a person.

However, there was something that caught me off guard.

As soon as Zhou Qing left, Xu Liang opened his mouth.

“Get up.”

So Gong-hwi stood up.

Seo-ryang smiled inwardly.

‘Good.’

So Gong-hwi’s physique was very solid.

He was quite tall and his body, honed over a long period of time, was reminiscent of a rock.

And is it because he trained for a long time to obtain such a body? His eyes were also very clear, unlike a general in the imperial palace.

“I thought about it from the first time I saw it, but your martial arts skills are quite good.”

So Gong-hwi was speechless.

He is a person who even jokes with His Majesty the Emperor. He should bow his head, but he is not a member of the imperial palace, but a demonic cult leader.

I still don’t know how to deal with it. So So Gong-hwi could not easily open his mouth.

Seo-ryang didn’t care at all about So Gong-hwi’s attitude.

“But it would be difficult to establish authority as a general with that level of martial arts. Furthermore, the yellow soldiers are at a fairly good level, but they are training in very vague martial arts.”

“….”

“I’ll teach you properly for a few days, so make sure you practice well.”

So Gong-hwi opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I…”

“What about you?”

“I have no intention of learning magic.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Who taught you the precious magic arts? That’s funny.”

“….”

“Let me add one thing: you have no choice. The emperor himself gave me an order to teach martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you questioning, sir?”

So Gong-hwi frowned.

I didn’t like the other person’s sarcastic tone. But he didn’t act rashly.

Xu Liang raised one hand.

Wooooow.

The air was shaking.

Phew.

In an instant, a huge amount of energy rushed into his hand. It was a very natural and amazingly smooth operation of Jinki.

‘omg!’

There was astonishment on So Gong-hwi’s face.

Hehehe!

Just by simply gathering energy, a strong wind blew and even the air quality seemed to change.

Plus this intimidating feeling.

‘tremendous!’

I thought this was what it felt like to have my bones tingling. He was a talented person who could overwhelm anyone he encountered simply by gathering his strength.

‘Is this really the best person in the world?’

So Gong-hwi would not be able to imagine this. The strength in Seo-ryang’s hands right now is not even a hundredth of the power he himself possesses.

“how is it?”

“…You’re not a magician.”

So Gong-hwi tilted his head.

“Beyond the fact that it is not a magical skill… isn’t it a true skill?”

“Good guess.”

Xu Liang smiled faintly.

“What I’m holding in this hand right now is a non-attribute energy that was deliberately released by excluding demonic energy and using only the operating method. It has no attributes, but it’s a cool and pleasant energy for some reason, right?”

“…exactly.”

“This is the Heaven and Earth Il Qigong of the Qingcheng Sect.”

So Gong-hwi opened his eyes wide.

“Qingcheng Sect? Could it be that of the Gu Sect One Bang in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan?”

“Yes.”

“How?”

Xiliang’s eyes grew cold.

“Not only the Qingcheng Army Party family but also Hwasan and Jongnam were wiped out.”

“…!!”

“The remaining clans are being organized by Shaolin. Perhaps the Zhuge Dynasty has come to an end by now.”

Xu Liang clenched his fist.

Whoop.

The energy of Heaven and Earth Qigong in his hand died out in an instant like a candle going out.

“The Nine School’s Absolute Learning is the main School’s Ten Magical Gong . These are seasons that are not lacking compared to other seasons. I destroyed the Bangpas and memorized five of their secret temples.”

In addition, there were a few Buddhist temples from the nine factions that he originally knew. In the past, when he was learning the secret spirit, he had come across various seasons from the nine factions, so it was only natural.

“No matter how much , it was natural. Even if I think about it, I think it will be difficult to continue the success of the past. In that case, I thought it would be better to hand over those excellent martial arts to those who can use them.”

“…!”

“Army’s martial arts are powerful and solemn, but the martial arts themselves are not practical. It seemed that the fast and standard martial arts of Cheongseong would be more suitable.”

Huuuk.

“Gasp!”

So Gong-hwi shifted into the lotus position without even realizing it. He was completely dominated by Seo-ryang’s empty attack.

Seo-ryang placed his hand on his back.

” “Teach this to all yellow soldiers until the time comes. It would be better to protect the country with that sword than to have an excellent season go to waste.”
