Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 113 Breaking Shell (3)

Hong Sang-ho’s face was truly worth seeing.

Wi Hongryeon, who glanced at him, bowed her head towards Seo-ryang.

“Inspector. “It was the leader’s order to inspect Jeoksa Temple first, but is it okay to change direction midway?”

“Who changes direction? “They say there is nothing to inspect.”

“If so, how should I upload it to the report?”

Xiliang snorted.

“Write down the situation as it is. Seeing that they are trying to remove the escort unit under the pretext of domestic construction, it is clear that they do not like the school. What’s more, it’s not the head of the family, but the head of the family, right? “Have you said everything?”

Wei Hongryun listened to Xu Liang’s words with an open mind.

“All right. If you do, I will write it down in the report and put the flue in right away.”

“hmm? Send it right away?”

“yes. After serving as an inspection escort several times, I found that organizations subject to inspection tend to exhibit somewhat risky behavior when they receive an inappropriate decision. “I think it is right to report it immediately to prevent any unexpected situation.”

“Is that so stupid? “If you try to fool around, you’ll be punished.”

“If possible, it’s better to take it easy.”

“Well, that’s right what the above lord said. Okay, after writing the report, shoot in civil war immediately.”

“I follow your orders.”

Even though it wasn’t planned in advance, the conversation continued smoothly. Hong Sang-ho and the Jeoksa horsemen could not come to their senses as the words poured in non-stop like water.

When Seo-ryang was about to get on the carriage without even looking back.

“for a moment!”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Hong Sang-ho.

Hong Sang-ho spoke in an effortlessly calm tone. My face turned red, so I didn’t sound calm at all.

“Assistant inspector, please calm down.”

Even though he has an official title of special inspector, he sticks to the title of “acting inspector.” There was nothing special about it, but Wei Hongryeon was in a bad mood.

Xu Liang frowned.

“what.”

“You haven’t heard our whole situation yet, have you? “What kind of situation is it that the inspector interrupts the conversation and lets the inspector handle things as he pleases?”

“This is my case.”

“….”

“And what more do I need to say? A lot of evil energy was blooming in your eyes, right? “Would you like to have at least a little conversation with me?”

Although he is not the head of the family, Lee Ga-ju is the next most powerful person after the head. Moreover, even though you are much older, it is always you. Even the warriors of the family were watching.

Even though he felt a thousand dollars inside, Hong Sang-ho tried to find his composure.

“It hasn’t been long since training ended. It was the mistake of my subordinates who could not calm the demonic energy. Instead, I apologize.”

“training?”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled at the absurd excuse.

“Is that true?”

“…It’s true.”

bang!

The carriage door slammed shut.

Seoliang hurriedly approached Hong Sangho.

Hong Sang-ho’s eyes wavered. A strange sense of intimidation was emanating from Seoryang, who walked casually without showing much force.

“Igaju.”

“Please speak.”

“Let’s leave aside the reasons that don’t seem like reasons, like I don’t like the look in your eyes or there’s nothing to listen to.”

Crash.

Xi Liang placed his right hand on the hilt of the Chiliya sword. Since it was stuffed into the right waist belt, there was no sign of intention to pull it out, but it was enough to create a sense of discomfort.

“Are you looking down on the leader?”

“How can you say such nonsense!”

“Other than that?”

A faint majesty began to appear on Seoryang’s face as the cold wind blew.

“As you said, I am the acting inspector. But as the inspector general, on whose behalf do you think I came here? The organization called the Special Investigation Agency is also just a temporary organization.”

“…!”

“Tell me.”

Hong Sang-ho’s eyelids fluttered.

He couldn’t open his mouth easily. If I gave that answer, I could easily become a traitor.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at him blankly, shouted.

“say!”

Wooooow!

His voice, spreading in all directions, was filled with powerful magical energy.

The demonic energy of Seorang, facing the barrier of extreme demons, was nothing short of fear to the demons. Moreover, the concentration of his demon energy itself was so great that it could be considered to be at the level of extreme magic.

Hong Sang-ho opened his mouth without realizing it.

“I am the leader of the church.”

The corners of Seo-ryang’s mouth rose.

It’s a cynicism with only the corners of one’s mouth raised on a face that is covered in cold snow. Hong Sang-ho, who saw that scene, was so shocked that his heart sank.

“Let’s try to reestablish our relationship.”

“….”

“What did you say at first?”

Hong Sang-ho gritted his teeth.

But I couldn’t help it. The surrounding attention was clearly focused on Seoryang’s incredible actions.

Protect your pride or protect your family’s future.

Hong Sang-ho bowed his head.

“This is the head of the Jeoksaga family. “It is an honor to welcome the Gamchalsa of Shinkyo.”

At the same time, the demons standing behind them also bowed their heads all at once.

“It is an honour!”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“next?”

“…I am offended, but the main house’s main building is under construction, so we do not have the capacity to support a large number of guards. “We have prepared a temporary comfortable place to rest, so you can eat inside and the others will be guided to the temporary shelter.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Hey, Lord Gwangma.”

Wei Hongryun lowered her head.

“Yes, inspector!”

In an instant, Hong Sang-ho’s face turned pale.

That wasn’t all. After hearing Xiliang’s words, all the warriors of the Jeoksa Temple were shocked and looked at Wei Honglian.

Everyone knew the name Wei Hongryeon, but it was the first time they had actually seen Gwangma Daeju. They never would have thought that a woman who was probably in her thirties could be the infamous Gwangma Daeju.

The gap between rumor and reality was that big. There was a reason why I initially thought that the guards were warriors from the defense court or the penal court.

“Do you want to rest for a while at your temporary shelter? “It may have been built with care, but since it is a temporary shelter, you will have to endure some inconvenience.”

Wei Hongryun smiled maniacally.

“If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask for small things.”

“You’re not going to cause an accident, right?”

“I have never had an accident in my entire life.”

It was no different from saying that I would buy it and give it a try.

Xiliang tilted his head.

“Igaju.”

“…yes.”

“Can you handle it? “I can’t control those idiots.”

Wouldn’t that be foolish? In particular, the rumor that Wi Hongryeon, the Great Lord of the Gwangma, had a confrontation with the Iron Sword Mazon, one of the Old Great Mazon, was famous even in the Demonic Murim.

Hong Sang-ho chewed his lips repeatedly. I was so nervous and anxious that my lower lip was tattered.

Xiliang snorted.

“A road site.”

The demons of Jeoksaga split into left and right in an instant.

Seo-ryang took a step forward and sighed.

“These guys are out of their minds. You didn’t even open the door? “What on earth are we going to do?”

“That is….”

“Wow.”

It was only for a moment that Seo-ryang’s fist moved.

Flash! Quang!

The large, thick gate was completely shattered and scattered.

Xu Liang said as he walked away without raising an eyebrow.

“During construction, we also buy a gate.”

“….”

“Ah, the costs will be billed to the religious leader. “I have no money.”

Coogugung.

Starting from Seoryang, a carriage led by Ma Dong-pil, Wi Hong-ryeon, and members of the Gwangma Troop entered Jeoksa Temple.

* * *

“There was such an accident?”

“yes.”

“Lee Ga-ju must be very upset.”

“His pride must have been greatly hurt by his temperament.”

Grrr.

An old man in his sixties, half-lying, pouring tea.

He was Hong Gwan (紅觀), the head of the Jeok family at the time and the father of Hong Wi-mun Hong Yeo-rin.

“So, where are the people from Protestantism taken?”

“We brought you to Gyoyo-gak (蛟思閣) in the outer circle.”

“Well, there’s nothing I can do.”

Gyosagak was a place where Jeoksa held the most distinguished guests. I don’t know if Hong Sang-ho handled them properly, but if he couldn’t, he would have had no choice but to open the Gyosagak.

“This is truly outrageous. “Still, you’re the second-in-command of a family, so why did you barge in so recklessly?”

“Maybe…”

“Hmm?”

Jang Woo-hwi (張雨輝), a skinny middle-aged man, said.

“He may be a difficult person to deal with.”

“who? “You mean the Three Confucius?”

“That’s right.”

Hong Guan chuckled.

“I didn’t know that Secretary General Jang would care about such a brat.”

“He is one of the talented people directly selected by the leader. Although he is young, he is not an easy person to look at.”

“It’s not easy to see. But it doesn’t seem like someone you should be particularly nervous about.”

“But…”

“Commissioner Jang.”

“Yes, matriarch.”

“Don’t be so nervous. The rumors about the Three Princes that have been heard recently are definitely amazing. Even if only half of the rumors are true, he must be a great talent.”

Hong Gwan tapped his head with his index finger.

“But it’s hard to be smart just because you’re an outstanding martial artist. “The cunning of an old man is difficult to overcome, even with a great deal of experience.”

Jang Woo-hwi agreed with what he said. I agreed, but I was still anxious.

Although Hong Guan had a cautious personality, he had a tendency to look down on younger people. As the eldest son of the family, he became the head of the family without difficulty. Since his life had been on a solid path since he was born, it was natural that he did not feel that the bright young man was a threat.

On the other hand, Jang Woo-hwi was a person who judged people based on their results. Having lived a rough life and experienced many hardships, he was someone who always thought about ‘variables’.

So, I was able to be recognized for my abilities as Hong Guan’s close associate. This was the reason why he became the general of Jeoksaga with martial arts that did not reach the top level, let alone the peak.

“You didn’t ask about me?”

“Lee Ga-ju interrupted me during his explanation. “I think you haven’t heard anything yet.”

“if?”

“They said they would solve the problem first.”

Hong Guan smiled. It was a wonderful smile that would have shaken many girls off guard when they were young.

“It’s extreme, but it doesn’t mean it’s not a bad idea. “I’m just curious so I’m sure I’ll just ask.”

“That’s right.”

“Tell the teacher. The disease is being treated. “Tell him that I will be formally inviting him to dinner.”

“I will tell you that. Oh and…”

“Hmm?”

“What if we start inspection first?”

Hong Guan smiled.

“If he had a mind, he would never do that. If they still say they will do it, then do it. “I wish that were the case.”

“All right.”

And just like that, Jang Woo-hwi leaves.

Hong Guan, who was sipping tea, could not suppress his laughter.

“That guy is really curious.”

At that time, a woman walked out from behind the folding screen. She was a beauty in her thirties who showed off an enchanting aura.

“Aren’t you doing too much?”

“hmm?”

“I’m the one who ruined the matriarch’s son, so you’re not even angry?”

Hong Guan snorted.

“I don’t want to think of the guy I lost in a trivial fight as my son. “If it was for the sake of my family, I should have died bravely. What can I do with a bastard who can neither live nor die?”

“Keep your cool.”

“Snake’s blood is cold and dirty. “No matter how much my child is, I don’t want to take care of someone who has outlived his usefulness.”

“Ho Ho.”

The woman smiled and touched Hong Guan’s shoulder.

“So when are you going to start treatment?”

Hong Gwan, who had been snorting and making harsh remarks, laughed out loud as if he had never done that before.

“Any time is fine. Please don’t overdo it.”

“Oh my, what am I going to say?”

Hearty laughter and deep-dyed screams rang out.

After a while, the two laughs turned into violent groans and circled around the snake pit.
