Episode 461 Selection of the times (1)
“The carpets brought in from the West were different no matter what. “Thanks to you, I stand in front of the ministers.”
“Hehe, it was just a small gift. Isn’t everything on earth your property? “I’m just passing along one of them.”
“haha! Your tongue is still sweet. Many emperors and feudal lords in the past said to stay away from flattery, but I am different. “If you listen to good words too many times, your ears will get sore. How bad would it be to hate something?”
“That is indeed correct. “I would like to add that I always tell the truth.”
“I know, I know. It’s not like I don’t know your honest personality. “Isn’t that why I formed a relationship with you?”
“Hehehe.”
Zhou Chenyang, a man in his thirties, wearing a luxurious dragon robe, smiled and held up a bottle of wine.
“Here, take a drink.”
“It’s an honor.”
Dam Sa-young politely raised her glass.
Zhou Chenyang asked as he filled his empty glass.
“Anyway, has there been any other contact from Seongju Song?”
Damsayoung flinched.
But even for a moment.
“Even if not, I have something to tell you about that.”
“Something?”
“Song Seongju was seriously injured.”
Zhou Tianyang’s eyes widened.
“Song Seongju?”
“That’s right.”
“From what I have heard, the power of Lord Song is no less powerful than yours.”
“Indeed, so it is.”
“When I actually saw Lord Song, I could feel the bravery of a lion and the majesty of a general. “Isn’t it worth mentioning that even in martial arts, he is the best?”
“That’s right.”
“Have you had an accident?”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes lit up.
“Five months ago, Song Seongju took on behalf of an unscrupulous little person and took on the evil sect of the world.”
Zhou Tianyang frowned.
“Are you talking about the evil species of the devil?”
“That’s right. It is said that the power of the evil sect was growing day by day, and Song Seongju decided to compete, but in the end, he ended up with a plan of defeat.”
“her!”
Zhou Tianyang shook his head.
“I heard that the newly appointed leader of the church, Akjong, is less than 20 years old.”
“That’s what magic is all about. You can obtain extraordinary strength through unreasonable training methods. “There are many cruel methods that are difficult to talk about, such as drawing blood from children or taking the vital energy of women.”
“There are literally no evil spirits. “I have heard of the cruelty of the so-called magicians, but hearing it from the leader of the dam’s mouth, it is not like they are ordinary vicious people.”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes deepened.
“As you saw for yourself at that time, the military power of the previous religious leaders was truly worthy of being discussed as the best of all time. How could a human obtain such power? “If it were not for the tricks of the non-human path, I would never have been able to reach such a level.”
Zhou Tianyang stopped breathing without realizing it.
Yes. On the day when Uicheonmaeng collapsed at the hands of a demon, Jucheonyang was also there. Fortunately, I was not swept away by the demon’s destructive actions, but I could clearly see its disastrous power.
Former religious leader Lee Cheon-sang was not a person. It was truly like a god who had come down to earth.
For the first time in his life, Zhou Tianyang felt fear. I’ve met countless warriors named Go Soo, but I’ve never seen anyone who showed off power beyond the standard like him.
“Does that mean that it is impossible for you or Lord Song to reach the same level?”
Damsayoung honestly admitted.
“I think it will be difficult even if fortune favors us.”
“Hmm.”
“However, the evil species of the Demonic Cult is different.”
“….”
“He is a genius among geniuses, recognized by the previous head of the cult himself. “Maybe we will reach the same level even earlier than Lee Cheon-sang.”
Zhou Tianyang smiled with effort.
“Is that possible? Although I am not as well-versed in martial arts as you are, I know that it is difficult to reach such a level simply through immoral training methods.”
“You are indeed right. However, I don’t think we can completely rule out the possibility. Lee Cheon-sang is also a monster who was called a genius never before seen in the history of the Demonic Cult. Didn’t he learn martial arts comparable to Song Seong-ju’s skills many years earlier than Lee Cheon-sang?”
“hmm.”
“When Your Majesty establishes a proper nation and governs the central plains in the future, the evil sect of the Demonic Cult will be a great disaster. “We must grow stronger and not leave things like this.”
“You are right. Such risk factors should not be left alone. What’s more, he didn’t even wear a dragon robe for his personal use.”
“That’s right. “This is behavior like no other traitor in the world.”
“No matter how much of an era the imperial palace has lost its power and the government is unable to function properly, how can a member of the empire commit such a terrible act?”
“This is something that should never be forgiven.”
That’s what he said, but both Dam Sa-young and Zhou Cheon-yang knew.
The leader of the Heavenly Demon Church has always worn a dragon robe for over a thousand years. It was no exception even when the power of the empire was strong.
Because the Heavenly Demon is a symbol of invincibility.
Even the emperor of the empire could not dare to define the Heavenly Demon Church as a group of traitors. This was because they were afraid of the absolute power of the Heavenly Demon.
Even if there was a war, if it collided with the Heavenly Demon Church, the imperial palace could be blown up. This was because the Heavenly Demon Church’s benevolence was truly so great that it did not discriminate whether the opponent was the Wulin or the Imperial Palace.
A sin that is nothing new. However, for Zhou Cheonyang, who wanted to build up the nation once again, the behavior of the Heavenly Demon Church was a problem that could not be ignored.
“But will you be okay?”
“yes?”
Zhou Tianyang smiled. It was a meaningful smile accompanied by very sharp eyes, different from the friendly smiles he had shown so far.
“Aren’t you a strong man in Wulin who wielded a power worthy of the envy of an emperor? “Although we have lost the foundation we have built so far due to an unprecedented disaster, it seems that there will not be much difficulty in rebuilding the Uicheon Alliance if you decide to do so.”
In other words, he was wondering if there was any need to help himself. Furthermore, it also meant that he wanted to rule the world by wielding himself.
Damsayoung bowed her head politely.
“I will not glorify Soin’s past. At that time, I was just a colt who was drunk with power and ran wild as if the world was mine. But that is just the misguided ambition of a military official. Even if he is the best in the world of martial arts, how can he compare to the owner of the palace?”
“If so, will you be able to fulfill your role as a leader to correct the world under my command?”
Even though he has not ascended to the throne yet, he proudly uses the title Jim. It was a part that gave a glimpse into Zhou Cheonyang’s ambition.
Damsayoung said with a smile.
“It would be the honor of three lives if I could take the lead in establishing the authority of the empire. “I will work hard to reform my spirit and spread the majesty of the imperial palace throughout the world.”
Only then did Zhou Chenyang smile in satisfaction.
“I trust you.”
“thank you.”
“Anyway, speaking of which, what should we do with the descendants of the Demonic Cult? “They are the ones who undermined the dignity of the empire and shook the public sentiment, so I don’t think it’s something to waste time on.”
Damsayoung’s eyes glowed with fire.
“Preparations for him are almost finished.”

Grumble!
A wave of energy burning like a flame swept over my son-in-law.
The refreshing air of the forest suddenly turned sticky. The world seemed to be colored with red madness, as if a fire had started on a moonless night.
Janghan Euljigun’s expression became stiff.
‘strong!’
It wasn’t just strong either. The energy wave that exploded in an instant swept away everything in sight like a storm, and the force was so strong that my limbs were frozen like stone.
Teeeeee!
One of the archers hiding behind the Eulji army missed the demonstration. The arrow bounced aimlessly and soared high into the sky.
For archers who are good at sniping, eye and body steadfastness are essential. In particular, his immobility, maintained by perfect breathing control, was famous for being so strong that he would not be shaken even if lightning struck in front of him.
One of those archers was so shocked that he missed the demonstration.
‘This power can’t be…’
Brightly burning eyes. A wave of energy that spreads without knowing where it has ended.
And even a majesty that shakes the heavens and earth.
‘Demon Lord!’
Xu Liang opened his mouth.
“Are you okay guys?”
Jeokpine laughed bitterly.
“It’s not okay. “I feel like I’m going to run out of breath right now.”
“I heard that as you get older, you become more stubborn. “Looking at the route boat, I think that statement is not wrong.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve met, so why should I be so harsh?”
“You appeared in front of me like that, so I should be thankful that I didn’t punch you.”
“Hehehe.”
Hyeon Cheon Jin-in opened his mouth.
“Is this your first time seeing your face like this?”
“That’s right.”
“I am sorry. “Thanks to you, I got out of the hell of suffering, but I ended up being a bitch again.”
“You just need to know.”
Even though they met for the first time, they talked as if they had seen each other for a long time. Moreover, aren’t all Hyeoncheonjin people dying?
“by the way.”
Xi Liang draped the Heavenly Demon Sword on his shoulder.
The look in his eyes as he glared at Euljigun was very fierce.
“You must have been quite skilled to avoid the eyes of the Chilga and come all the way here.”
“Are you the Demon Cult leader?”
Xu Liang smiled coldly.
“It’s quite similar to the prayer of some idiot from before. “That guy was probably from the Sword Palace, right?”
Deputy palace lord of the sword palace.
He was an enemy who helped open the path to becoming a supreme demon, and he was the enemy who felt death for the first time in a one-on-one battle since his reincarnation.
Euljigun’s prayer was very similar to that of Bugungju at that time. However, the level he has achieved is so outstanding that it cannot be compared to that of him.
“You are a swordsman.”
Yes. Euljigun was the master of the sword palace among the Saeoeosa palaces.
Eulji-gun’s eyes also became fierce.
“Since when did Ma Cyoju have a relationship with Jeongmu Ssangshin? “This is something that will shock the whole world.”
“What kind of a big deal is this when Dam Sa-yeong, Song Sang-baek, and even you bastards have joined hands with the imperial palace?”
“…!!”
“Seeing your expression distort, I guess I was right.”
Chaaaaang!
A red sword was raised on the left arm of Euljigun. It was the Hongryeon Daegeon (紅蓮大劍), a long sword that was thicker and longer than the Heuksashingeom.
“There’s no need to say much. “I will make you regret showing up here.”
Seo-ryang just smiled.
Eulji-gun shouted.
“Kill the Demon Cult Leader!”
It was truly a majestic voice. It was an order given to the archers hiding in the rear.
But they were quiet.
Eulji-gun’s expression became distorted.
“What are you doing? Immediately, the Demon Cult Leader…!”
Tuk! Degururu.
Several supplies and supplies rolled under the feet of Eulji-gun.
“omg!”
Eulji-gun was surprised. The identity of the supply and demand was the archers who were hiding.
“What is this?!”
Xu Liang shook his head.
“They were skilled archers. “It is truly a pity that he met the wrong owner and died.”
“What?!”
Eulji-gun, whose senses had been dulled by Seoryang’s overwhelming energy wave, had no idea. That the archers he brought with him were massacred at the hands of the Hocheon Demon Emperor.
It was a very meaningless death. Gungguijo, who boasted outstanding individual skills as well as outstanding military power as a unit, died without even being able to scream.
Xi Liang raised the Heavenly Demon Sword.
“You should have thought about running away the moment you met me.”
“…!!”
“You’re going to die anyway, so rest in peace.”
