Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 153 Sow seeds (3)

“What?!”

Sangbaek (尙柏) suddenly got up without realizing it.

“Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

“Bring the letter!”

Sangbaek’s face turned pale as he read the letter he received from his subordinate.

“Jeoksalru (積殺樓) has truly been wiped out.”

Jeoksallu was a shooting organization active in the southeastern part of the Central Plains.

Although they were originally a notorious assassination organization, there was another real reason why they became famous.

The strongest assassin in the South, Four Guns, appeared south of the Yangtze River ten years ago. Jeoksalru was the place that produced the Sagun.

Based on the reputation of Sagun, Jeoksallu gradually increased its power, trained more assassins, and was able to stand tall as the best assassin organization in the south.

This was the background that made Jeoksallu famous as a powerful teenage assassin organization.

But even for a moment.

Two years ago, due to some kind of incident, Jeoksallu lost more than half of its assassins.

Even Sagun, who was known as Jeoksallu’s signature assassin and the strongest in the South, became an undesirable guest.

However, Jeoksallu was still active as one of the teenage assassination organizations.

Although his reputation and performance had not gone anywhere, he was still active.

It is said that Jeoksallu was destroyed overnight.

‘why?!’

Sangbaek bit his lip.

‘Could it be open?’

Jeoksalu was an organization that still had a lot to do for Haomun (lower five gates).

If such an organization were to be wiped out, there was a high probability that it would be the beggars of openness who regarded Hao Wen as a thorn in their eyes.

“Damn it!”

thud!

There was turbulence in the fist hitting the table.

“The money I spent on them was enough to amount to hundreds of thousands of nyang…”

That was back then.

“Vice Division Lord!”

“What else?!”

Another subordinate handed over a letter with trembling hands.

In an unusual atmosphere, Sangbaek took the letter and opened it.

“…!”

His hand holding the letter was shaking.

“Following Jeoksalru to Samheukdan (三黑團)?”

The Samheokdan was also a military organization operating south of the Yangtze River. It could be said that it was an organization that enjoyed almost the same level of power as the extinct Jeoksallu.

It was fortunate that Hao Mun did not do business with the Three Black Danes.

But why? Sangbaek felt a strange sense of anxiety.

‘The two assassination organizations that had built up the largest presence south of the Yangtze River were wiped out. Then where else…?’

Three days later, another letter arrived.

“The Myeongbuhoe (冥府會) was also destroyed. But…”

Sangbaek’s face hardened.

“Are the other three moving west? “And so openly?”

Among the teenage assassination organizations, six are distributed south of the Yangtze River.

Three of them have been massacred and the remaining three are moving west.

“What the hell is going on?!”

A memory flashed through my head at that time.

‘…?!’

Sangbaek’s eyes wavered.

“Hello!”

“Yes, Division Master!”

“Bring the list of assassination organizations that participated in the Chuwang Blood Death event two years ago. hurry!”

After a while, a document was placed in front of him.

“…I guess I was right.”

Sangbaek’s face turned pale.

“Jeoksallu Samheukdan List Club. “These three organizations were the assassination organizations that were involved in the Chuwanghyeolsa.”

Two years ago, a secret chase took place that only a few people knew about.

A great incident in which Uicheonmaeng and Cheolhyeolseong trained to kill a man and carried out a plan to kill a man. They managed to catch him and kill him, but it is said that Maengseong’s damage was enormous.

People who knew the incident called it Chuwanghyeolsa.

A bloody death occurred while tracking down the king. The king meant King Sal, the king of the world of assassins who was considered one of the top ten masters at the time.

‘It was amazing.’

Sangbaek, who was thinking back to that time, shook his head without realizing it.

‘A chase for seven days and nights. It is said that the number of masters from the Maengseong side who died at the hands of King Sal was close to seven hundred.’

A major bloodbath that proved how terrifying the power of one absolute master is.

This means that over seven days and nights, seven hundred people were killed in one day.

Even in the situation of running away. In that number, there were even a few experts who were close to being in their teens.

At this level, it should just be considered a monster. Even if he was one of the world’s top ten masters, it was an unbelievable record.

The reason Sagun died was because he attacked King Sal at the time. Judging from the traces on the body, it was assumed that he had been struck by a single sword.

It is a natural result, since it is like a large hunting cat attacking a tiger, the king of the mountains.

‘Well, the mere fact that Maengseong (盟城) held hands with him even for a moment is monster enough.’

Sangbaek, who was lost in thought, slapped his cheek.

“That’s not important right now.”

A subtle fear appeared in Sangbaek’s eyes.

“The organization that participated in the Chuwanghyeolsa went extinct? Could it be that Uicheonmaeng and Sanghyeolseong came forward?”

Is he going to do something like Tosagufang? Only now?

Sangbaek shook his head.

“That can’t be possible. To begin with, the influence of the Demonic Cult is strong in the southern part. “It would be difficult to dispatch that many troops to get the job done.”

It would be more probable that the dead King of Sal became a ghost and killed those people.

‘What on earth is going on?’

At that time, an urgent cry was heard outside the door.

“Lord Moon! “This is the Lord of the Red Five Dans!”

“come in!”

Jeok Odanju suddenly opened the door and delivered a letter to Sangbaek.

“Look at this.”

“Damn it. I never thought I would be so scared to check the contents of the letter. “What else?”

Sangbaek opened the letter.

As it was, his body stiffened.

Tuk. Fighting.

Beads of sweat fell on the letter.

“Is this real?”

“….”

“Why is there no answer! “I asked if this was true!”

“…That’s right. “This is confirmed directly by members of the Red Army.”

The last word of the letter came into Sangbaek’s trembling eyes.

– Demon.

“The Demon Cult… did this?”

It was then.

“That’s exactly what I did.”

The two people, startled, looked at the window.

“omg!”

Before I knew it, a young man was sitting in a slanted posture by the window. The young man who was standing next to the Geodo, which was approaching the Chamma Island, looked very lethargic.

“As expected, it’s Hao Mun. “I thought they were hiding their base in some back alley or market.”

The young man Seo-ryang touched the window frame.

“I never thought they would set up their headquarters in a canyon like this. Hao Mun-do has achieved success.”

Jeok Odanju put his hand on his sword.

“Who are you?”

At that moment, Sangbaek raised his hand and blocked the red sword.

Sangbaek swallowed his saliva and asked.

“…Are you from Daesan?”

“okay.”

Jeok Odanju was surprised.

Great Mountain means Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is the home of the Heavenly Demon Church. In other words, it was clear that the young man was a demon belonging to the Demonic Cult.

Sangbaek took a deep breath.

“If you don’t mind, may I know your name?”

“There’s nothing I can’t tell you. But before that.”

Seo-ryang pointed out the window with his thumb.

“They are rushing in, what are you going to do? Should we make a fuss and talk about it? Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”

Sangbaek shouted.

“The leader of the Red Order, convey the order to standby status to the disciples! right now!”

“Yes yes!”

grasp!

Jeok Odanju quickly walked out the door.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Seo-ryang’s mouth.

“It’s good that you make quick decisions. “Yes, there is no need to blow up the home base you worked so hard to build.”

Sangbaek bit his lip.

Blow up your home base? That means that the young man was not the only one who came here.

‘But how did you find this place?’

Sangbaek will never know. That Xi Liang had been single-handedly tracking down the Jeon Seo-eung sent by Hao Mun-do, who was dispatched to Jeoksa-lu.

Even though Chukji Shinbo was abandoned, Xiliang’s divine method was still fast enough to chase a flying bird.

“Please identify yourself.”

“Xiliang.”

“…Xiliang?”

Was there anyone with the name Seoliang in the Demonic Cult?

‘Sigh!’

Sangbaek bowed his waist.

“Shangbai, the division head of Haomen, meets the Three Dukes of Xinjiao.”

The names of the sect’s disciples are virtually unknown in martial arts circles. Nevertheless, Sangbaek knew Seoryang’s identity.

With the opening, he was the second-in-command of Hao Wen, who held and swayed the world’s martial arts information.

Xu Liang said.

“It’s not time to have a cup of tea, so I’ll just briefly mention the business I came to.”

“Please tell me.”

Sangbaek’s attitude was very polite.

It had to be that way. No matter how much Hao Mun flies and crawls, he cannot compare to the Heavenly Demon God Cult.

Although they had established an information network all over the world, the only place where they could not plant informants was the area of the Heavenly Demon Church.

If you get caught wrongly, not only will you die, but the entire Haomun will be cut off. Now he is facing the Shinigami.

“Are you friends with the Iron Blood Castle?”

Sangbaek swallowed his saliva again.

I wanted to ask how he knew that, but I couldn’t.

“…That’s right.”

A hasty lie is worse than not telling a lie. Sangbaek promised to tell only the truth in this conversation.

“I thought so. “You too are fundamentally Safa.”

Xu Liang grinned.

“That’s why I’m close with Jeoksalu. yes?”

Creepy!

Sangbaek’s complexion turned pale.

Seeing the other person’s reaction, Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“I didn’t come here to threaten you, so there’s no need to freeze like that. “Let’s get to the point.”

“….”

“Among the leaders of the Four Rivers Tang Dynasty who are well-versed in poison, try to find the one closest to here.”

“Are you all going to sing it?”

“why? “Is it impossible?”

“It’s not impossible…”

“Aha?”

Seo-ryang took the purse out of his pocket and threw it at him.

Slam!

The bag was very heavy. I couldn’t bear to open it because of the atmosphere, but it was clear that the amount was unimaginable.

“It’s an advance fee. “If you complete the request properly, I will give you a nice gift.”

“….”

“The period is within five days. Is it possible?”

Sangbaek placed his electric pouch on the data table.

He took another deep breath and opened his mouth.

“sorry. “That request cannot be accepted.”

Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed.

“why?”

“There are some organizations that we don’t touch. The Sichuan Party is one of them, and we have never sold their information until now…”

“Is our church also included in that organization?”

“yes? Oh yes!”

“….”

“….”

“What do you want to do? Are you going to accept the request or not?”

Sangbaek’s lips were almost tattered from chewing so much.

‘What do we do? How to?’

If it becomes known that he sold the Tang family’s information to the Demonic Cult, Hao Wen’s path will be over. In some ways, isn’t Sacheondang a place known to be even worse than the Demonic Cult?

Without going far, if one poisonous person is released in Haomun, the entire area will turn into hell.

“hey.”

“Yes yes?!”

“Are you afraid of the party’s retaliation?”

“….”

“You seem afraid.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

He didn’t say anything like saying that the party was scared but not us.

“It looks like the Iron Blood Castle won’t protect you, right?”

“We… Just for the Iron Blood Castle….”

“That’s right. “I don’t know that horses are treated like trainees and chores.”

“….”

“Do you want to come to me?”

Sangbaek’s eyes widened.

Xiliang scratched his head.

“I think we’re recruiting too many talented people these days… but actually, what I lack the most is information.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re on campus, but I think there will be a lot of restrictions if you want to be active outside.”

“…!”

“At least I won’t become an incompetent trader who can’t even complain when an enemy that even I can’t handle harasses you.”

Xu Liang held out his hand.

“come.”

At that moment, Sangbaek felt a strange urge to hold that large hand.

However, he did not forget his position as a division owner.

“…sorry.”

“Huh. I can’t accept requests and I don’t like training. “Isn’t this too stiff?”

“sorry. However, I cannot lie to the guest from Daesan to avoid the moment. This is my will, so please understand.”

Xu Liang smiled.

‘It’s pretty good.’

He’s not a bad guy. Although he may not have a flashy side, he is definitely a great person with a sense of responsibility.

“What did you know? “There’s nothing you can do.”

“Thank you for your understanding….”

“Still, I wish you could give me information about the party. “I brought you a gift that you might like.”

“…A gift?”

“Yes, a gift.”

Xu Liang put his hand out the window.

Wooooow!

At that moment, about a dozen thick books flew from far away. Sangbaek’s eyes wavered.

‘Something in the middle of nowhere?! ‘At such a young age!’

Seo-ryang tapped the books placed on the window sill.

“What do you think this is?”

“…yes?”

“This is a transaction list taken from Jeoksalu. “Your Hao Mun was among them.”

“…!!”

“If the Uicheon League finds out about this, won’t the Open Party take the lead in trying to push you out?

“What did Sapa’s intelligence group do by training with the assassination organization? You know that the Uicheon League have a lot of imagination, right?”

Sangbaek’s face turned black and dead.

Seo-ryang’s smile deepened.

“Except one day and give me four days. Move quickly.”
