Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 173 There is no problem without an answer (3)

Lee Cheon-sang looked down at the document and nodded.

“That’s fast.”

“That’s right.”

Ho Yaoseong, who quenched his thirst with a sip of tea, continued speaking.

“Even though Cheonbo Geumga is providing financial support, Jeoksa Temple’s recovery speed is unprecedentedly fast. “It looks like the demons in the house are venomous.”

Lee Cheon-sang said lazily, throwing the document on the table.

“Even if it is steeped in inertia, a mine is still a mine. “You can’t help but be angry because you suffered this in your own front yard.”

“I guess so.”

“Is the position of the head of the family still vacant?”

“That’s right. Currently, the former family head’s daughter Hong Yeo-rin is the most suitable successor, but she is receiving the teachings of the Geum family head. “It will probably be formally discussed by the end of the teaching.”

Lee Cheon-sang muttered as he raised his glass.

“It’s going to be fun.”

A rusty knife is broken rather than sharpened. I have lived by that creed and will continue to do so.

However, the knife I tried to break is sharpening strangely. Although it has not yet proven its usefulness, it is trying to regain its utility as a ‘weapon’.

And this resurrection began with the third.

‘You probably couldn’t have looked this far.’

Perhaps the third one also tried to wield Jeoksaga at his feet and did not intend to revive it like before. This guy has a goal full of hatred in his head and no sympathy for the enemy.

However, there was no denying the fact that the saga had changed since he got involved in this situation.

Of course, several people died in the process.

‘As long as its usefulness as a weapon is proven again.’

At that time, Hu Yaosheng spoke cautiously.

“Master.”

“Say it.”

“This is about Yunnan.”

“You mean the third?”

“yes. Even if the three gongjas are masters who have reached the extreme level, wouldn’t the Beast Palace be overly dangerous?”

It was the Beast Palace.

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“I didn’t know he was going to the Beast Palace.”

“yes?”

Even the world’s greatest star couldn’t help but be surprised this time.

“So you didn’t tell the religious leader separately?”

“That’s right.”

Ho Yo-seong opened his mouth wide.

“Oh my…”

“Why are you so surprised?”

I was even more surprised when asked why I was surprised. Ho Yo-seong couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t candidates need to get permission from the religious leader to leave the church?”

“It’s customary. “But wasn’t it the military department that officially managed expulsion?”

It was true. But even though he was the leader and teacher, I never thought he would just leave without saying a word.

‘You know that permission doesn’t mean much.’

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth twitched.

‘Can you come back with a result that I like this time too?’

As long as the results are good, minor conventions are not an issue.

The third was clearly looking into his own personality.

“Originally, Yunnan was also in our territory. I just didn’t pay attention until now. “If we can make that known clearly on this occasion, that would also be a good thing.”

“Really… there is something about the way the leader and the Three Dukes handle things that is beyond imagination.”

“….”

“sorry. “That was a little rude, wasn’t it?”

“It’s okay.”

Ho Yo-seong sipped his tea as if embarrassed.

At that time, Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

“If you’re done talking, I’ll just leave.”

“yes?”

Ho Yo-seong pouted his mouth with a hurt look on his face.

“I didn’t even drink all the tea.”

“I have something to talk about with my student.”

“Disciple?”

After a while, Mine’s voice was heard outside the gate of Daejeon.

“Master. “The Archduke asks to see you.”

In a lush forest with sparse sunlight.

Although the humidity characteristic of the southern region was still there, the cool shelter created by nature was very refreshing.

But even that environment seemed to be of no use to Yeo Kang-hwi.

“Whoa, it’s still muggy.”

He shook his head excitedly and wiped his sweat-free forehead.

Seo-ryang chuckled.

“Make it cool with your ice skills.”

“I decided to put up with that.”

“why?”

“Make it cool when it’s hot, and make it warm when it’s cold.” “Well, it’s a natural survival instinct, but I don’t think you’re going too crazy.”

Yeo Kang-hwi quenched his appetite.

“I think studying is about exposing yourself to different environments and becoming familiar with them.”

It’s a good mindset. Regardless of efficiency, my perspective has been opened in terms of experience and learning, so if nothing else happens, I will grow greatly.

Of course, Seo-ryang’s thoughts were different from Yeo Kang-hwi’s. But I didn’t feel the need to say it.

“by the way.”

Yeo Kang-hwi glanced at the carriage.

A subtle admiration appeared in his eyes.

“What a carriage it is.”

The carriage that Seoryang and Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Gang-hwi rode on was a four-wheeled six-horse carriage.

The carriage, pulled by as many as six horses, was too large for just three people to ride.

In addition, the structure supporting the car body was made of Shinkyo’s special steel, making it a masterpiece that reduced weight and increased rigidity.

“I have seen a four-horse chariot, but I have never seen a six-horse chariot. “It’s amazing.”

“I didn’t put six of them together just to be cool.”

“yes?”

“It’s efficient. “The six-headed horse cart is the best in terms of power and speed.”

“Hmm… if you think about it, it would be better to say more…”

Seo-ryang said harshly.

“The hard-headed idiots in the rivers think that a carriage with many horses is a good carriage, but they are wrong. The fastest and most stable is the six-horse wagon. “If they talk too much, it’s difficult to control them and they have a hard time keeping up with each other.”

Yeo Kang-hwi, who instantly became an idiot, lost his appetite in embarrassment. When I thought about it, it felt like I took a somewhat simplistic approach.

“The important thing is balance. Balance is the top priority in any area. Likewise in martial arts, when the balance is broken, one becomes narrow-minded and the breakdown is bound to be revealed later.”

I didn’t know that while talking about carriages, we would also talk about martial arts. Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

“I guess the Three Dukes became so strong because they achieved that balance?”

“Not really.”

“sure?”

I can’t say it’s because of my past life experiences. Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me.

“But isn’t that balance quite strange?”

“what?”

“In some ways, it’s not like your school’s magic attack or the main palace’s ice attack are all martial arts that are biased together. “Because it breaks the principle of yin and yang.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Balance refers to the distribution of power and the harmony between me and martial arts. There are martial arts that combine the principles of yin and yang, but what is important is how to use them.”

“okay.”

“Don’t you know everything too?”

“How did you know I knew?”

“You are as strong as or stronger than the head of the Seven Families. “If you don’t know the principles of martial arts, you won’t be able to reach that level.”

Ma Dong-pil, who was resting to one side, was inwardly surprised. This is because he thought that Yeo Kang-hwi’s level was similar to his own.

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.

A subtle winning spirit was visible in the beautiful smile.

“Someday, I would like to dance with the Three Dukes. “I take out everything I have.”

“Don’t cry when you get beaten up.”

“You speak so beautifully.”

“It’s nature.”

Yeo Kang-hwi cleared his throat. For some reason, Seoryang’s reaction had always been somber after his expulsion.

He didn’t bother to hide his feelings.

“What’s wrong?”

Seoliang grunted as if he had been waiting.

“I haven’t been able to contact you.”

“You mean contact?”

“Haomun.”

“Isn’t Hao Wen the best intelligence group in the shadowy region of the Central Plains? “It’s comparable to the opening of political factions?”

“that’s right.”

Yeo Kang-hwi opened his mouth without realizing it.

“Were you also in a relationship with Hao Wen?”

“There was coercion, but… that’s right.”

Forced? I felt like I knew somehow.

When Yeo Kang-hwi was expressing condolences to Hao Wen-ju, whom he had never seen before.

Xu Liang frowned.

‘The division owner said he would contact me within 10 days, but what is he doing?’

Going to the Beast Palace and the request made to Hao Mun are not very related. But now that I was out, I was about to finish all that work.

‘It’s adjacent to Sacheon anyway, so how could it not work?’

Well, there’s no need to overdo it.

Seoyang took a deep sigh and looked around.

“It’s nice because it’s cool.”

We reached this place two days after leaving Xingyo, a forest in Guangxi. There is no need to worry as the coachman is giving me good directions, but there is quite a bit of time left to enter Yunnan.

Let’s take a little more time…

“Is it okay?”

huh?

Xi Liang looked at Lu Ganghui. His expression was strangely stiff.

“My younger brother.”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

“I have nothing to say even though I am called out for being rude, but my younger sister is very beautiful. Even if they were ruthless, they wouldn’t do anything rash if they didn’t intend to start a war, but… I’m worried.”

Someone says They say Kangho is a world of romance and dreams.

Someone else says: Kangho is simply a stage of violence where the hellish nature of the Sabah world is clearly revealed.

This would all be correct. For some, it may be a land of romance and a world where dreams come true, but for others, it may be a hellish world full of karma.

And most of those who felt the world was hell were powerless.

A woman was kidnapped. It was also a woman who became the loser in a clash of strength against strength.

For a Beast Palace that is notorious for being barbaric, it wouldn’t be surprising if they were treated badly.

“I know that too. “If I had wanted to disgrace my younger brother, I wouldn’t have kidnapped him, and even if I had, I wouldn’t have reported to the main palace that I kidnapped him.”

“that’s right. They want something. “That’s why I kidnapped your sister.”

“The problem is… the culture of those who pursue instinct over reason. “In a world of jungles and jungles, the strong get everything and the weak are left behind.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyelids fluttered.

“I’m worried that he may have applied that naked instinct to my younger brother.”

The only thing that has sustained him thus far is the cold realization that he cannot rescue his younger brother even if he moves quickly. Despite the seemingly peaceful appearance on the outside, he was probably worried on the inside.

“don’t worry. Because that won’t happen.”

“…yes.”

“They don’t move alone. The three palaces are joining hands and aiming to advance into the central plains. “Maybe it was not the will of the Beast Palace that kidnapped your younger brother, but the will of the Three Palaces.”

“….”

“If you don’t want to be stabbed by an ally, you have to be careful of even the fallen leaves. Furthermore, we cannot ignore the attention of the midfielder.”

Yeo Kang-hwi tilted his head.

“What do you mean by Joongwon’s gaze?”

“The midfield powerhouse seems to be open-minded but has a strong conservative side. Even if they settle in the central region, what if the morality of the group that raped the woman is revealed? “At that point, it’s going to be a disaster.”

“Ah…”

“What’s more, they joined hands with the Uicheon Alliance, not the main school. “I don’t dare do such a thing even if I am afraid of the outside world’s gaze.”

That’s what he said, but Seo-ryang wasn’t entirely sure. This was because I had seen so many cases of terrible crimes being buried with money and politics.

Just if you believe in something.

‘It’s an old man.’

Lord Uicheon was the type of person who did not take issue with his own ugliness, but he definitely questioned the morality of others. It may be later, but the three palaces can never disobey the wishes of Lord Uicheon.

“I don’t feel like resting anyway, so move slowly… huh?”

“Why are you doing that?”

Xu Liang turned his head. I felt a secret presence beyond the forest.

After a while, a short man wearing a mask appeared.

Crash.

Ma Dong-pil, who was suddenly standing in front of Seoryang, placed his thumb on the blade rest.

“Who are you?”

The masked man knelt down at the low, powerful voice.

“I’m from Haomun. “I would like to deliver a letter to the three princes of Shingyo.”

Xu Liang sighed.

“The punishment is coming quickly.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened as he read the letter delivered by the masked man.

“Hey messenger.”

“yes.”

“Is this true?”

“I just forward the letter and I don’t know the content of the letter.”

After thinking for a moment, Seo-ryang spoke to the messenger.

“You also have branches in Guangxi and Yunnan, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Tell the division owner that you will pay a separate reward and gather all information about the area around Aeneosan Mountain. “We’ll be traveling by carriage, so you can find it yourself, right?”

“…I’ll see you in five days.”

The masked man disappeared in an instant. Although his martial arts skills were insignificant, he was worthy of being called a peak expert in divine techniques.

Yeo Kang-hwi asked with a puzzled expression.

“Is there a problem?”

“hey.”

“yes?”

“Maybe it will make things a little easier.”

Xu Liang smiled evilly.

“I tried to get him out of the way by putting him in a good mood, but I think I don’t have to lose my temper.”

What kind of windfall is this?
