Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 163 Wind from the North Sea (3)

“Chuck tsk tsk.”

“….”

“Slurp kya! Has it been a while since this happened? “Is it delicious to eat again?”

Seoryang’s face looked somewhat happy as he looked down at the bowl with admiring eyes.

He grunted loudly, pulling out a piece of flesh stuck between his teeth.

“My taste in Sogungju is quite unusual. Six-legged chicken head baby looks appetizing on the outside, but when you actually eat it, it’s no ordinary delicacy. “I also ate quite a bit of this.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“It tasted really good, and guess what? If I eat this guy, I wonder if I will accumulate even a pea-sized amount of strength. There was a time when I used to attack these chicken heads with the intention of destroying them. “When I think about that time, I feel a little sorry.”

Is your vocabulary good?

Yeo Kang-hwi felt that it was somehow easier to deal with the other person. The initial tension had long since disappeared like melting snow.

“You have a good appetite.”

“Eating well is the best way to use your energy in a timely manner.”

I wonder how much effort it takes to eat so much.

Yeo Kang-hwi cautiously opened his mouth.

“Hey…”

“Tell me.”

“I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while.”

“hmm?”

Yeo Kang-hwi scratched his head.

“What happened to that eye?”

Xu Liang’s face suddenly distorted.

“It’s a wound that occurred during training. “Just think of it like that.”

“Oh yeah.”

Seo-ryang cursed inwardly.

‘He’s so thin that he doesn’t even have the strength to lift chopsticks, but his fists are really strong.’

Of course, if it had been applied normally, there would be no way that such a blow would have been allowed.

Xiliang completely blocked the internal attack and dealt with her only with Demon Emperor Limbo, who was still in Ilseong (一成), and the Violent Power Fist. So Yeon-sim also blocked her internal attack, but her strength and footwork were at the highest level.

Even if you have an advantage in all aspects such as physical strength, strength, speed, etc., it is difficult for someone who has mastered only one martial art. Thanks to their extreme reflexes and combat experience, they created a close match, but could not overcome the difference in the flexibility of the martial arts themselves.

‘Still, it’s embarrassing.’

It seems that he unconsciously felt a sense of relief while climbing the pole. So I let my guard down.

If it had been a knife and not a fist that hit my eye, I would have been lucky, but if I had been unlucky with blindness, I would have died.

‘Let’s relax. You haven’t even reached the level you were in before. Are you already relieved that you have achieved so much?’

Seo-ryang’s grumbling ended with an eerie promise.

‘Next time, we should open the magic attack and let’s fight.’

Yeo Kang-hwi said with a smile.

“You are amazing.”

“hmm?”

“You have incredible martial arts skills, but you train so passionately.”

“What do you mean?”

“yes?”

“Whether you are strong or weak in martial arts, isn’t training absolutely necessary?”

Who doesn’t know that? Yeo Kang-hwi whetted his appetite as he watched Seo-ryang earnestly receiving words that were just meant to compliment him.

‘I shouldn’t say empty words.’

he said with a smile.

“That is correct.”

“yes.”

Seo-ryang said, moving the table to one side.

“Anyway, now that we’ve had some delicious food, let’s get to the point. “You wanted to see me?”

“Oh yeah.”

“What is the reason?”

Yeo Kang-hwi cleared his throat.

“You met with the prosecutors of the Sword Palace?”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“It did.”

Somehow the tone seems to have changed drastically.

Yeo Kang-hwi asked seriously.

“How was it?”

“You were strong.”

“…is that the end?”

“It is difficult to describe the fight in detail. “It’s just that they were strong and thanks to that they suffered quite a bit.”

“okay.”

Seo-ryang, who was watching Yeo Kang-hwi quietly, said as if he was throwing something.

“He was a couple of measures stronger than the Lord of the Little Palace.”

“yes?”

“The deputy palace lord of the Sword Palace.”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled sheepishly.

“You think too highly of me. Even though it is called a late index, it is still in many ways…”

“Not as it is now.”

“yes?”

“If you bring out your true hidden power, it will be worth sharing a few sums with the Deputy Palace Lord of the Sword Palace.”

“…!!”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s face hardened.

“Of course, when you unleash that much potential, you have to train it properly so that your body can adapt to it.”

A strange expression appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“I don’t know if it’s a seal or what, but isn’t it uncomfortable? “If only he could unleash that power, he would immediately be called the best late-season index outside the country.”

“….”

“There seems to be a situation.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s frozen face was cold.

“How did you know?”

“I thought I could tell just by looking at it.”

“….”

“Looking at his posture, breathing, temperament, etc., it is clear that he has already surpassed human limitations, so how can his strength and endurance be at the level of a peak expert? “I was just curious about it, so I took a closer look.”

“I don’t think you can see everything if you look closely.”

“What do you mean by what you see?”

Yeo Kang-hwi, who was quietly looking at Seo-ryang, took a deep breath.

Although he didn’t show it, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

‘You saw right through that?’

There are only three people in the Ice Palace who have penetrated the Great Law of Glass Potency. Two of them knew him well, so he only felt a sense of discomfort at first glance.

As a result, the three princes of Shinism immediately recognized the great potential law that only his father, Binggungju (氷宮主) of his time, who was the number one expert in the North Sea, could see through.

“Sam Gongja… he is truly an amazing expert.”

“It’s pretty good.”

“I was impressed. I know that this Great Law is not something that can be seen through even if one is strong in martial arts. “You have great insight.”

“It’s no different than cutting with a knife.”

Xu Liang’s face became serious.

“I’m sure you didn’t just call me because you were curious about the level of swordsmen at the Sword Palace.”

“…That’s right.”

“Let’s not go around talking unnecessarily. “I want to get to the point.”

“….”

“Why did you ask to see me, not even the leader?”

“Because I think that among the demons, the Three Dukes are the most devoted to Protestantism.”

For Protestantism? What does this mean?

As Seoliang tilted his head, Yeo Kang-hwi continued.

“Moreover, he is currently the person with the greatest reputation and support in Protestantism. That’s why I asked to see the Three Dukes.”

“Stop saying things you don’t understand…”

“Please bridge the gap.”

“leg?”

“yes. “I hope that the Three Dukes will serve as a bridge so that the main palace and your school can form an alliance.”

For a moment, surprise appeared in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“Let’s form an alliance?”

“That’s right.”

“suddenly?”

“….”

“…I’m getting more and more unable to understand this.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“If you came here for the sake of an alliance between our church and your palace, wouldn’t it be right to visit the church leader? “I am just a disciple of the religious leader and have no authority whatsoever.”

“I know.”

“But why?”

“I told you. “They judged that the Three Dukes were the ones who most supported Protestantism.”

“I would like to tell you that it was a misjudgment. And even if that were the case, that’s not why you came to see me.”

“That is reason enough.”

There was heat in Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes.

“Because it is clear that an alliance with the main palace will be of great benefit to your church. “If you are a three-gongja, you are the right person to give strength to that.”

“This is another interesting story.”

Seo-ryang crossed his arms.

“let’s hear about it. “Why did you think that way?”

“There is no need to think deeply about it. Without a doubt, the main palace is the most powerful force outside the world. “Of course it can only be good to form an alliance with such a force.”

That’s great confidence. Seoliang acknowledged his opponent’s confidence.

Even if only half of the rumors are true, the power of the Ice Palace is equivalent to that of the Shaolin Temple. It would not be a bad thing from the perspective of the Church of the Heavenly Demon to establish training with such a force.

“You said you came because you wanted to see Shingyo, but you were hiding a very cute secret.”

It was rude remark. However, Yeo Kang-hwi was unable to correct Seo-ryang’s tone of voice.

It was not because this was the Heavenly Demon Church, but because of the regal aura radiating from Seoryang’s body.

“so?”

“yes?”

“So I asked what you wanted from us.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes sparkled.

“I hope… Why did you think that?”

“If you see me whining around one more time, I’ll just leave.”

“sorry. “I’m usually good at explaining things.”

“Now tell me.”

Yeo Kang-hwi took a deep breath once again.

A nervous expression was evident. At least this facial expression wasn’t a lie.

“Please save my brother.”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“Did you have a younger brother?”

“That’s right.”

“But why are you asking me to save your younger brother here?”

Sssss.

A faint chill rose from Yeo Kang-hwi’s body. It was an energy released unconsciously due to complex screening.

“My younger brother was captured in the Beast Palace.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened.

“Beast Palace? “Those red-faced bastards?”

“Have you ever encountered a blood band?”

“There was. “The body was so strong that even a knife couldn’t penetrate it?”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s face distorted. Even though he was frowning, his face was still beautiful.

“That’s amazing. Even with the martial arts of the Three Confucius, the blood feud was overwhelming. “It was true that he had completed the Great Law of the Beast King.”

“Oh, it wasn’t that daunting. Besides, I was different back then than I am now. “Anyway, it wasn’t easy for even an expert to catch one.”

“I guess so. “If you have completed the Beast King’s Great Technique, you can turn ordinary beasts into magical beasts in a short period of time.”

“hmm.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“I want to keep listening.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s speech was quite long. I tried to hide it, but the anger and nervousness that had built up over the years must have been so great that I needed time to calm down from time to time.

“So, let me sum it up…”

Seoryang thought for a moment and said.

“Are you saying that the younger brother of the Lord of the Little Palace went on a cruise to the northwestern part of the central plains, encountered the beasts of the Beast Palace, got into a fight, lost, and was captured by them?”

“That’s right.”

“Binggung originally had no interest in the central plains and only wanted peace in the North Sea, but was under pressure from the other three palaces. “It’s unfortunate that the palace lord’s bloodline has been kidnapped in the midst of all this, so we can’t do anything about it.”

“You’re good at summarizing things.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“So you’re trying to form an alliance with our school? “Don’t you know what kind of place our school is?”

“I know.”

“But why?”

“Because what my father, no, the lord of the palace, wants is the downfall of the three palaces.”

“…Ohh?”

“I also thought about Uicheon Maeng and Sanghyeolseong. But no. They have great power, but they don’t use it properly when they should. The reason is…”

“Because it is a federation.”

“That’s right. On the other hand, the Church of the Heavenly Demon does not apply moral standards when conducting its work.”

“….”

“Furthermore, Shingyo and Beast Palace are geographically much closer than Uicheon Alliance and Iron Blood Castle. In addition, it is said that there has already been a conflict with the two palaces, so it would not be a bad thing for Shingyo.”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.

A deadly murderous intent lingered in the mysterious smile.

“They are annoying to us and annoying to your school as well. “Wipe it away.”

Seo-ryang also smiled.

Amid the wonderful laughter, a mad and murderous spirit swirled.

“Anyway, circumstances have been captured that the swordsmen trained with Uicheonmaeng. “If we join hands with Binggung and destroy it, it will definitely be good for our school.”

“Thank goodness.”

Slurp.

Yeo Kang-hwi got up from his usual bed.

“If you do, please get up.”

“hmm?”

“Isn’t this the end of the conversation?”

“It’s not over. Because I haven’t decided yet. And I definitely need to tell the religious leader about this.”

“I requested a face-to-face meeting considering your martial arts personality, which I heard through rumors. However, if you take the time, I plan to go straight to the leader.”

“You said that right away.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s smile became deeper.

A laugh whose meaning is difficult to understand.

“…Please forgive my rudeness.”

Paaaaang!

His beautiful hand swung, aiming for Seo-ryang’s neck.
