Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 97 Outlaws of Shinism (1)

Three princes of Heavenly Demon Religion.

The impact of that name was truly extraordinary.

“Wow!”

“Four Three Princes?!”

“This is my first time seeing you in person!”

“indeed…! “As they say, you look so majestic!”

Seo-ryang stroked his face without realizing it.

Is this face majestic? Although he is quite handsome, isn’t he just plain water?

On the other hand, the demons of the Demon Sword Family, including Jiwoonhoe, were shocked in a different way.

‘Three Confucius? ‘That young man?’

Ji Woon-hoe looked at Seo-ryang’s face once again.

‘Now that I think about it…’

Some time in the past, he had seen Seoliang.

It was around the time when the underside of my nose started to get dark, so it must have been a while after I was selected as a member of the Three Confucius.

But no matter how old I got, there was a huge difference between Seoryang then and Seoliang now. I never would have thought that the three princes would have changed so much.

Xu Liang grinned.

“why? “Is there something on my face?”

“….”

“But what about greetings?”

Ji Woon-hoe, who was quietly looking at Seo-ryang, slowly took the gun.

“Jiunhoe, the head of the Demon Sword House, meets the Three Dukes.”

It was a short and simple greeting. It wasn’t a slight to the other person, but it was a subtle greeting that wasn’t very polite.

At the same time, the two young men lined up behind him and the prosecutors of the Geomhyangdae also bowed their heads.

“Meet the Three Dukes.”

When he emits energy waves, it seems as if he could tear down Mount Tai, but his greeting is just quiet.

Ji Woonhoe said.

“I didn’t know you were the Three Dukes.”

“Is that so?”

“Even if I didn’t know, rudeness is rudeness, so I admit my mistake.

However, since you, as a candidate for the successor to Shinkyo, have shown words and actions that deviate from etiquette, how about we just ignore this incident?”

It was a neat job done. Although I was embarrassed, I quickly gathered myself and hurriedly resolved the situation.

He truly looked like the head of a family competing for magic supremacy.

Xu Liang said bluntly.

“That’s right. “I didn’t come here to start a fight.”

It wasn’t a very trustworthy statement. Of course, there was no one here who could hold him accountable.

“Thank you. Then…”

“Before that.”

“…?”

“The matriarch didn’t answer my question. “I’m asking because I’m really curious, so please give me the answer and then go.”

“…I would appreciate it if you could tell me again what the question is.”

“I can tell you anytime. I asked: “As a father, how would you act if you witnessed your child’s shameless crime?”

Ji Woonhoe’s eyes deepened. It was impossible to guess what the other person intended by saying such a thing.

But everyone was watching. I didn’t think anything good would come of talking for a long time with that high-status thunderbolt.

“Of course we have to deal with it according to the law.”

“We will handle it according to the law?”

“exactly.”

“That law is such an ambiguous word. Does this mean you will handle it according to the family laws?”

Ji Woon-hoe’s eyebrows twitched. What is the reason for asking such an obvious question?

But he couldn’t say it was obvious. The face of Seo-ryang asking himself a question was much more serious than expected.

A moment of silence.

After that heavy silence, Ji Woonhoe answered.

“The laws of my family are stricter than any other family. “If such a moment ever comes, I will firmly hold the child accountable for the crime.”

“On the contrary, can I understand this as meaning that since you are my child, I will hold you accountable even more resolutely?”

A subtle expanded interpretation.

But it was difficult to say no.

Aren’t the demons from the side stories full of demons who came in from outside? Furthermore, some civil war experts were also probably watching the situation.

“exactly. “How can someone who can’t treat even one of his children properly lead a family as the head of the family?”

“Right.”

“But I believe. “My children, as well as any demons from my family, will never commit anything shameless.”

These were words that revealed his pride as the head of the Demon Sword family. At least Ji Woon-hoe’s sincerity was evident in these words.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at him quietly, lowered his head.

“I’m sorry for holding you back on your way. “Welcome to the Protestant Church.”

“It was nothing.”

Seoyang stepped aside. Then Ma Dong-pil also took the sword and followed him.

The forces of the Demon Sword Family advance once again.

Seo Liang, who had stepped aside, looked at the two young men following Ji Yun Hui.

One was a young man who appeared to be about the same age as Seo-ryang. His complexion was a bit pale, but his fierce eyes and blade-like prayers all over his body were impressive.

The other was a young man who now appeared to be in his late teens. Although he had a handsome appearance and a soft appearance, he exuded an equally impressive spirit.

‘You are the eldest son and third son of the Demon Sword Family Lord.’

The eldest son, Ji Gang-hyeon (池鋼賢), and the third son, Ji Young-hyeon (池永賢).

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes sparkled.

“Confucius.”

“okay.”

“This is a prayer that is much greater than you might think. The eldest son, Ji Kang-hyeon… is a person who should not be taken lightly.”

“right. That’s right…”

Seo-ryang frowned.

‘what?’

A clear sense of death was felt in Ji Kang-hyun’s eyes, showing off his blade-like prayer.

However, that is the level that even powerful prosecutors often have. Prosecutors who have killed people are those who have felt the weight of murder. It was natural for life to be reflected in the eyes.

But Seoliang was able to read one more thing.

‘He’s the one who kills people once a day and at least once every two days. Otherwise, life couldn’t be that vivid and there wouldn’t be any overlap.’

He has explored the realm of death more deeply than anyone else. Just by looking at the flowing life, you could tell what kind of chaos the other person went through.

‘Chaos? No way.’

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

‘That’s not the kind of life that can be achieved on a battlefield with flying swords.’

At first glance, it is similar to the life of any other prosecutor, but it is more cruel and vicious.

‘This is the life of a person who unilaterally murders someone.’

It was literally the look in the eyes of a murderer.

‘The eldest son, Ji Kang-hyeon, is the real culprit… If he really kills someone every two days, it’s outrageous.’

In a year, at least, there are about 180 people. At this level, it is enough to hear the sound of a magic head.

Seoryang also carried out three or four assassinations in one day, but all of those he assassinated were Murim people.

It was like a battle, so to speak, requiring fierce wit and extreme concentration.

Ji Kang-hyeon was different.

My guess is that the people he killed… were likely civilians who had not even learned martial arts.

‘Well, since he is the eldest son of the Madou family, I wonder if he will like Madou when he hears it.’

Anyway, it was clear that he was a vicious guy.

‘Besides, the Demon Sword matriarch seemed completely oblivious.’

He is meticulous enough not to be caught by his father, who even listens to the sound of the Sword King of Magic.

Moreover, as the eldest son of the family, he would have had to handle the duties assigned to him on a daily basis.

He is meticulous about his evil nature and even has the ability to manage himself to the point that everyone around him will not doubt it.

‘He’s not an easy guy.’

At that time, Ji Kang-hyeon slowly turned his head.

As soon as he met Seo-ryang’s eyes, his eyes narrowed. But he also turns his head again for a moment and looks ahead.

‘Are you saying it’s hard to be liked in many ways?’

I think I will do the same.

Seo-ryang tapped Ma Dong-pil on the shoulder.

“Dongpil, slowly turn around…”

At that moment, Seoryang felt an ominous feeling creeping up his back.

A young man caught in his sight as he quickly turned his head.

“Confucius?”

“….”

“Confucius!”

“uh? “Uh-huh.”

“Just leave.”

“Okay, let’s go. “Where is the great master of Wei?”

“The great master of Wei is here…”

At that time, as if lying, Wei Hongryun came up between the two of them.

“Are you looking for me?”

“It’s a surprise. “You bitch, when did you learn the art of stealth?”

“Rather, I am surprised. “I’ve been calling for Confucius all along, but didn’t you hear me?”

Ma Dong-pil also nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Well, I was thinking about something, but I guess I didn’t hear it. By the way, did you finish everything?”

“Oh, kinda!”

“Kill kill! I get it. Hey, I’m almost done watching the side story, so let’s go to the inside story. “I’m bored. Let’s have a drink.”

“oh? Is that okay?”

“What can’t be done? You can’t just keep messing around in side stories when there’s nothing to do. “Just looking at it, it looks like you guys aren’t having fun either.”

“Hehe, you knew.”

“I like you because you’re so honest…”

So the three people started talking and headed towards civil war.

Seol-ryeong kept pace with the two men and chimed in, but his consciousness was focused on the young man he had seen a moment ago.

He was Ji Young-hyeon, the third son, not Ji Kang-hyeon.

‘That guy…’

Seoryang’s eyes deepened.

‘He’s hiding ridiculous powers.’

A fragment of power so secret that it could not have been caught without the senses of Gu Yumagong, completed with the help of Lee Cheon-sang.

Ji Young-hyeon had at least as much skill as him or more.

“…It’s getting more and more exciting, isn’t it?”

* * *

After one hour, Seo-ryang, who had knocked Wei Hong-ryeon unconscious with alcohol, left the residence. And Ma Dong-pil and Geumho followed behind him.

“Aren’t you drunk?”

“I lost my energy.”

“Why did you waste your cycle? “If that’s the case, don’t drink it.”

“….”

“Yes, I did tell you to drink it.”

“I am Confucius’ close escort. “I must protect Confucius at any time.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

At that time, Kumho came out! I made a noise and looked up at him. While keeping pace with a brisk walk, I raise my head and look at Seoryang.

“Are you following this bastard too?”

As soon as I didn’t hold him in my arms, Geumho dug into his front teeth and settled down. I wanted to follow him, but walking seemed like a hassle.

“But Confucius. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Hwanhee Wonju.”

“I see.”

Xu Liang glanced at his waist.

“Anyway, didn’t you think it was cool earlier? Strike the sword! I plugged it in and boom! “Kneel down until you make a sound.”

“Ah…”

“Looking at things like that, you know how to read the mood. “Good job.”

Ma Dong-pil scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

“I just couldn’t stand by and watch the arrogance of the Demon Swordsman.”

“What is arrogance? “He even gave me a refreshing look.”

“…have you seen it?”

“I saw it.”

“sorry.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“I’ve never seen anyone say they’re as sorry as you. He was just the worst criminal in the world. “Why are you sorry about that?”

“It’s just…”

“Anyway, it’s hard. Is that right, Geumho?”

“Ah!”

“Look.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face became uncomfortable.

It doesn’t matter what you hear from Confucius, but he wasn’t that monster. I felt really bad because I felt like I had been looked down on by a fox that was only the size of my forearm.

Xiliang chuckled.

“You should be nice to Geumho from now on, man. One day, when you make a mistake, the child will become a wonderful companion who will scold you for your mistakes…”

At that moment, his eyes sparkled.

Ma Dong-pil pouted his lips in an uncharacteristic way.

“I will try my best not to make mistakes…”

“Bow!”

Paaaaaaaa!

A blade of grass crossed the air.
