Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 263 Unconventional Exodus (1)

Kidnapping of Hong Sanja and Sang Gak.

The world has never been less chaotic, but there has never been an event this big in recent times. Beyond Hubei, the entire region north of the Yangtze River was in an uproar.

But that was just the beginning.

Rumors began to circulate that Binggungju’s daughter was among the kidnapper’s group, and rumors also circulated that her bodyguards were stronger in martial arts than the old faction’s elders.

The seat of Saeoesa Palace in Bukhae Ice Palace.

The appearance of a Binggung figure who had never been active in the midfield until now was an event so great that it caused a change in the world.

But there was nothing more surprising than this: they kidnapped two members of the old faction.

The martial arts faction, filled with astonishment, immediately poured out strong anger at Binggung.

Anyway, kidnapping? Isn’t this something that only third-rate Parakhos would do? Moreover, he was not a disciple of the clan, but the head of a famous old sect.

Before we knew it, public opinion soared like wildfire and began to criticize the ice palace. The radicals belittled them, calling them barbarians, and shouted that they should be driven out immediately.

However, the rumors that followed had a much greater impact.

“Uicheonmaeng secretly joined hands with the Heavenly Dragon Palace and the Sword Palace and the Beast Palace.

Among them, Beast Palace kidnapped Bingungju’s daughter. “Binggung is taking revenge on him, so those involved in this should apologize to Binggung and get their prints back.”

It was a rumor several times more shocking than the fact that Binggung had kidnapped two of the martial arts giants.

It cannot be concluded that this is just a rumor, and the place from which the information was leaked was none other than the Beast Palace.

Since it was confirmed by the Haomun Yunnan branch, the probability that it was true was more than 100%.

The gaze of public opinion turned to Uicheonmaeng.

Uicheon Maeng immediately denied it.

“This is nonsense. These are nothing more than evil rumors aimed at turning us into an insidious organization colluding with foreign forces.

Beast Palace and Hao Wen will have to take responsibility for this mess.”

They also presented evidence saying that opening up was nonsense. The evidence of openness, which shows that he is on par with Hao Wen in terms of information power, has tremendous effect in itself.

Right then.

In a stage of chaos where there seemed to be no more surprises, another rumor broke out like a bolt from the blue.

“The Plum Swordsmen of the Volcanic Sect attempted to murder the concubine of the Iron Blood Lord.

The Angry Masters of the Iron Blood Fortress annihilated the Plum Swordsmen and demanded an explanation from the Uicheon Alliance.

“If this cannot be properly explained, Iron Blood Castle is willing to go to war.”

The previous rumor was shocking, but this was nothing compared to it.

The plum blossom swordsmen of the volcano tried to kill the iron-blooded lord’s concubine? This was tantamount to an attack on Sanghyeolseong and the entire Sapa.

Aside from everything else, the fact that they attacked the secret service itself shocked the world.

No matter how competitive the faction may be, there is a duty that must be maintained as a martial arts person, but you tried to kill not the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle himself but his concubine?

This rumor was more than enough to create the perception that Uicheon Maeng was unscrupulous. For such a force, it would not be unreasonable to join hands with organizations other than Sae.

The Uicheon Alliance did not provide any response to this.

In the battle for public opinion, silence can be a good choice. However, silence is also good for amplifying suspicion.

A leash that gradually tightens.

The eyes of the world looking at Uicheonmaeng were slowly but surely becoming colder.

“Dragon Gate Flame?”

“That’s right.”

Gong Yachi said calmly.

“It’s a rumor that flowed along the Yangtze River. The rumor has already spread throughout Hubei. In just ten days, Yongmun Yeom-ra’s reputation will shake Gangbuk.”

“It would be notoriety, not fame.”

“It’s a reputation. At least for the martial arts people of the political faction. “If you buried one of Cheolhyeolseong’s Mukpungdae and Janggang Surochae, it would be a truly heroic act.”

“hero? You’re laughing. Have you already forgotten who was kidnapped by us?”

“The legitimacy has been secured.”

“That’s a half-justification. The fame of Hwasan and Jongnam is shaking the world. “You can’t help but say it’s excessive.”

“Of course it is.”

“And one more thing. This is the worst situation, but….”

“The Uicheon Alliance and the Iron Blood Saints may work together to catch Lord Xiao.”

“That’s right.”

He kidnapped the concubine of the Iron Blood Lord and later kidnapped Hwasan and Jang Mun-in one after another.

The fundamental reason for this confusion was Seo-ryang. Once we come to the conclusion that we should first catch the culprit and resolve the matter among ourselves, it becomes a huge headache.

“Here’s a suggestion.”

“What suggestion?”

“Please let me know the identity of Lord Sogyo.”

Xiliang looked at Gong Yachi as if he was dumbfounded.

“Are you crazy?”

“That can’t be right.”

“If you weren’t crazy, you wouldn’t have said something like that, right? Have you forgotten why I worked so hard to hide my identity and come all the way here?”

“You misunderstood. “I don’t mean to tell everyone.”

“then?”

“Please inform only the Iron Blood Lord.”

For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes lit up.

“Only for the Iron Blood Lord?”

“The Heavenly Demon Church and the Uicheon Alliance are all enemies of the Iron Blood Castle. However, the Church of the Heavenly Demon had banned external activities for over 30 years.

“It is an enemy we must always keep an eye on, but we have no choice but to pay more attention to the Uicheon Alliance.”

“yes?”

“In fact, there have been many times when we have collided with each other. There were several times when war almost broke out. Of course, the world doesn’t know.”

“Hmm.”

Xu Liang stroked his chin.

“It’s an interesting idea, though.”

“Currently, Master Xiao has great restrictions on his actions.

If it were a simple political struggle, wouldn’t there be a threat of encountering enemies at every moment? “You may be safe, but your companions may be harmed.”

“…hmm.”

“I think I can spread my wings proudly now that I’ve come this far.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“all good. But there’s a possibility that the Iron Blood Lord could attack you, right?”

“You won’t be able to do that.”

“why?”

Gong Yachi’s eyes lit up.

“Do you know which group holds the lion’s share of the information we have? “It is iron-blooded.”

“Eh?”

“Church of the Heavenly Demon, of course it is difficult to dispatch informants.

The Uicheon Alliance is easier, but there is an information group run by the Federation and the Alliance itself. “Their checks are truly formidable.”

“…is the iron-blooded nature different?”

“That’s right. Although it is difficult, it is nothing compared to the two groups. “On our side, there are some important secrets that the Iron Blood Castle is hiding.”

“….”

“You can use that information.”

Seoliang crossed his arms with a strange expression.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a long time.”

“Please speak.”

“Why do you hate Uicheonmaeng so much?”

“….”

“Revealing such a secret means risking Hao Wen’s life and death on this matter. “It means that we will become enemies with Sangvise Castle.”

“Instead, didn’t you join hands with the Heavenly Demon Church?”

“Isn’t it because Hao Wen has been able to grow so far because he has walked a tightrope between the three ages?”

Gong Yachi shook his head.

“It can’t be like that forever.”

There are definitely other reasons. However, Seo-ryang did not inquire further.

“I’ll think about it.”

“We don’t have much time.”

“I can’t help it. It’s not something I can decide on my own. This is an issue that should at least be discussed with the General Military Command.

“If we wait for an answer from Shingyo, it will take at least a month.”

“All right. “Then come back tomorrow morning.”

“okay.”

“Oh, can I ask you one thing?”

“What?”

“It seems like you’re after something I don’t know about… but why did you have to kidnap Hwasan and Jongnam Jang Mun-in?”

“If we kill those guys, we’ll become warriors. “It’s a given.”

“Is that all?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Of course not.”

“I think it’s difficult to talk about.”

“It won’t be too difficult, but… I’ll tell you later.”

“All right. then.”

When Gong Ya-chi left, Seo-ryang lay down on the bed.

‘It’s hard.’

There are so many things to measure. If it weren’t for the fact that Gong Yachi helped me, my stomach would have turned upside down.

‘I wonder if I can just go this far.’

If you feel like this when you move forward without looking back and it is not enough, it probably means that you are psychologically exhausted.

Although he had risen to the rank of Sogyoju through numerous battles, going on a rampage in the middle of the central plains was on a completely different level from wreaking havoc in Shingyo.

‘Looking back, I guess I’m a really funny guy too.’

You can go comfortably, but you move forward by making a big incident happen.

In the end, everything went well, but it is difficult to say that the best method was chosen. I did what I wanted and then tried to make it work for my benefit.

If you look at it that way, saying it’s the best way may be nothing more than a play on words.

‘Maybe I want to make amends for my oppressed past life. ‘By thinking about it in a cool way.’

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

‘it’s okay. In the end, the thing was done and now I have to think about how to fix it.’

Anyway, Hong Sanja and Sanggak were in hand. As long as we find out the ‘secret’ from those two, it will somehow be resolved.

Seoryang took a deep breath and stood up.

For a moment he was startled.

“What?! “When did you come?”

Yeo Sang-rin blinked.

“I just arrived. “You didn’t answer even when I called you.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“You look tired?”

“What is it like to be tired? are you okay.”

Even if I say this while massaging the back of my neck, it doesn’t feel like it’s being honest at all.

Yeo Sang-rin pouted her mouth.

“Please talk to me.”

“hmm? “Do you have anything to say?”

“There are so many.”

“What?”

Yeo Sang-rin, who was sitting on a chair and crossing her legs proudly, glared at Seo-ryang.

It’s a truly burdensome look. Seo-ryang’s face suddenly darkened.

“what’s the matter?”

“You made Binggung’s situation very difficult, right?”

“huh? “What do you mean?”

“Weren’t you using me to create a shield against criticism and criticism?”

“Oh, that’s right?”

You speak so confidently that I have nothing to say.

Yeo Sang-rin said as if it were absurd.

“Why are you doing this without telling me in advance? Of course I have to help Master Xiao, but you still have to say something! “You were surprised!”

Xiliang scratched his head.

“You already told me, right?”

“when!”

“You said this when you left Shingyo, right? I’m going to borrow money for the name of Binggung. “You screamed, but somehow you agreed?”

“…?”

“Even though I’m a bit out of the loop, I’m not the kind of guy who doesn’t have any issues. “I did it because I thought the story was over, wasn’t it?”

“…Did you do that?”

“Of course, I was going to tell you one more time before I did anything, but I forgot. “I was so out of it.”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“sorry. “Don’t do that again.”

Yeo Sang-rin pouted her lips.

“Well… that’s enough then.”

Is it boring?

It’s true that I came here to argue, but I think I came for a different reason. Xu Liang looked at her with questioning eyes.

Yeo Sang-rin said hesitantly.

“Did you tell my brother?”

“of course. Gong Yachi handled it well. “I also sent a letter in advance.”

“Then that’s it.”

“….”

“….”

“So why did you come?”

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“I guess that request is quite embarrassing, don’t you think? “To the extent that you have to talk about the value of the Binggung name and only after making people into debt?”

“You are a complete ghost.”

“It’s not that I have a good sense of humor, it’s that it shows on your face. So what is your request?”

Yeo Sang-rin began to twist her body.

Xu Liang frowned. His expression made me wonder why this girl was doing this again.

“Hey…”

“What.”

“It’s a difficult request, but I hope you’ll listen to it….”

“So what are you asking, man?”

“I want to become Master Xiao’s disciple.”

“…what?”

Yeo Sang-rin bowed.

“Please provide more guidance in the future.”

Seo-ryang opened his mouth.
