Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 594 Disciples of the Nine Great Heavenly Demons (4)

Namgungdan, whom I had not seen in a long time, looked quite thin.

“Seo sect leader.”

“It’s been a while.”

“I guess so.”

Seoliang, who was quietly looking at Namgungdan, immediately bent down.

“…!”

Namgoongdan, as well as Ma Dongpil and Gwanpyeong, who were with him, were also surprised.

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

“….”

“It was because of me that Senior Noh passed away like that. If I hadn’t provoked that guy Damsayeong, he wouldn’t have sent his master to Anhui.”

“….”

“The response was also late. If he had passed away, I should have found him sooner, but I couldn’t hide in my house under the pretext of protecting the world of magic.”

“….”

“I don’t know how much comfort this apology will bring to the head of the family, but it was definitely my fault. I really wanted to apologize.”

Namgungdan, who was looking at Seoryang quietly, sighed.

The master of the Heavenly Demon Church, the greatest master in the world at the time and one of the greatest masters of all time, bowed his head.

Even if it wasn’t necessarily a huge consolation, I was grateful enough for that act alone.

Namgungdan said.

“Just raise your head now.”

“….”

“You and us are the same people who live by the sword. We drew the sword for righteousness and cooperation, but wouldn’t it be strange if we died at any time?”

“I died for something I didn’t have to die for.”

“That’s not true. Neither I nor my father could raise our swords for this broken world. Until you stepped forward.”

“….”

“Rather, we should have been fully prepared.”

“But…”

“I can tell you clearly, the culprit who killed my father and devastated my family is Dam Sa-young, not the leader of the Seo Church. There is no reason for you to bow your head to me.”

Namgung Dan sighed again.

“Perhaps we should bow our heads to the leader of the Seo clan.

The noble family of the political faction that is supposed to correct the world has been holding its breath all this time, but didn’t draw its sword only after the leader’s courageous journey to the central plains. It’s just shameful. ”

“Don’t say that.”

“I understand. So don’t worry too much about it, leader Seo.

This is a tragedy that any martial artist living in the central plains could experience, so didn’t you fight hard in your own way?”

Namgoong Dan smiled. It was an effortless smile, but I still wondered where I could smile.

“Thank you for your hard work, Master Seo.”

Xiliang sighed softly.

“Didn’t they give you a harsh treatment at Iron Blood Castle?”

“That is also thanks to the Seo leader. I heard that the Seo leader told me to pay attention to the Sanghyeolseong Castle.”

“The reason I came to see the leader of the Seo Sect was not to ask him why he didn’t protect us. It’s just…”

Namgungdan hesitated for a moment.

“I just…”

I can hardly continue speaking.

Xu Liang nodded.

“Could you please wait a moment?”

“I understand.”

He said to Ma Dong-pil and Gwanpyeong.

“I have something to talk about separately with the head of the Namgung family. I’ll be going out for a while, so you two take care of the kids.”

“All right.”

“Based on the information analyzed, we will move to Hebuk and shake up Gangbuk. Dongpil, write a letter with what I said earlier and deliver it to Gongyachi.”

“I follow your orders.”

“then.”

Seoliang placed his hand on Namgungdan’s shoulder.

“Let’s go.”

“hmm?”

It was then.

Oooooh!

The air heated up and the world turned red.

Flash!

In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of light, and the two figures disappeared on the spot.

Astonishment appeared on Guan Ping’s face.

“…It’s a tremendous new law.”

At this level, it has already gone beyond the level of being called a new law. I wondered if the legendary land flying technique was like this.

Ma Dong-pil said as he watched the two people soaring high in the sky and heading toward the distant mountain.

“After we finish everything the teacher ordered, let’s go to the backyard.”

“hmm?”

“I didn’t ask you to massage me.”

“ah!”

Guan Ping’s face suddenly brightened.

“That’s right. Let’s go!”

* * *

Phew! Sabak.

Two people reached the top of a cliff near the top of a mountain.

Seoliang looked calm, but he was not Namgungdan. The stunned expression on his face, as if he had never seen it before, proved how surprised he was.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. It’s amazing. What kind of new law is this?”

“The form is our school’s vision of achieving great success in the air. However, learning the new method does not make it possible to fly. It is just a mixture of empty space and other things.”

Namgungdan shook his head.

“You really have become a monster.”

I can’t even imagine how they used their internal energy.

I couldn’t even imagine how deep the inner strength must be and how delicately the inner strength must be used to hit the ground in order for this technique to be possible.

Namgung Dan smiled bitterly.

“As expected, what your father said was right.”

“What do you mean?”

“Father said this. Mr. Seo tries to become a monster himself, but due to his personality, it will be difficult for him to become a true monster.

However, thanks to his temperament that does not easily become poisonous, he will reach the level of a god as a human being.”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly.

“Did you say that?”

“That’s right. Looking at things like that, it seems like your father’s insight is really great.”

“…That’s right.”

Xiliang backed away.

“Do you have something to say to me?”

“exactly.”

“I don’t think you came here to discuss family matters or the state of the world.”

“exactly.”

Seoliang, who was looking at Namgungdan, nodded.

“I understand. Why did you come to see me?”

Namgung Dan’s eyes wavered.

“You know?”

“exactly.”

“….”

“You are confused. And that confusion is like a dark cloud that no one around you, including the head of the family, can remove.”

“….”

“Of course, the head of the family has a strong soul who can eliminate the chaos. However, there is no need to solve all the world’s problems alone.”

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

“I hope I can be of help to the matriarch.”

Namgungdan, who was quietly looking at Seoryang, bit his lip.

“Seo sect leader.”

“….”

“I… I am. As the head of a family, I am so irresponsible…”

It was then.

Deep.

Namgoong Dan’s eyes widened.

‘uh?’

Before he knew it, a large knife was piercing his chest.

It had a very similar appearance to the Heavenly Demon Sword that Seoyang usually carried.

However, unlike the actual Cheonmado, the blade did not have a purple-black sheen, and only had a dark red fog-like energy swirling around it.

Namgungdan saw Seoliang.

Seo-ryang unexpectedly smiled. Holding a sword made with his heart rather than his own, his smile resembled that of a benevolent god rather than a vicious devil.

‘This is…?!’

Xu Liang opened his mouth.

“It’s the art of swordsmanship.”

“…!”

“I think this will be faster than trying to make the head of the family feel better with just a few words. And this method…”

Sadness appeared on Seoryang’s face.

“This is also the method that senior Noh used to enlighten this ugly bastard.”

Wooooow.

The Heavenly Demon Heart Sword let out a long cry.

It was a sword of the heart that had a much more distinct form than the heart sword that Namgung-eon had driven into Seo-ryang’s chest at the time.

This was by no means unreasonable for Seoryang, who had entered a state beyond Namgung Eon by making the secret technique of the reigning Demon Emperor his own.

Tsutsutsutsu.

A new world, shown by Seo-ryang, the energy of the depths of the heavenly devil, unfolded before Namgungdan’s eyes.

‘Unbelievable.’

Namgungdan’s eyes became hazy.

‘This is the world that the Seo leader dreams of….’

It was truly an amazing experience.

Suddenly, the existence of Seoryang disappeared, and a new world that is difficult to even imagine now has emerged.

It was a world that could be seen with the eyes, but was not simply visible to the eyes. Although humans clearly have separate senses, it was a truly magical experience, as if I could see with my ears and with my nose.

And Namgungdan, who felt the world with his five senses, soon felt the fantasy-like scene seeping deep into his heart.

“What do you think? The world I dream of.”

“…It’s normal.”

“That’s right. It’s normal.”

“It’s an ordinary but truly vibrant world.”

“A warrior should be a warrior, a merchant should be a merchant, and an emperor should be an emperor. But a world where they can all strive to pursue their dreams beyond that.”

“….”

“The Central Plains are so vast that true peace may be elusive.

That’s why I don’t want perfect peace. I dream of a world where there is turmoil and conflict, but not as rotten as it is now.”

“…I guess so.”

“A world without change is like hell in itself. I know that even if I create a world of magic, it will only be for one generation.”

“….”

“So, I am trying to become the supreme king of this generation, not a demon god.

A supreme king with laws and regulations. A humble ruler who wants nothing more than to rule as peacefully as possible for this generation.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes wavered.

The Heavenly Demon Profundity that had been lodged in his chest had disappeared before he knew it.

Seoliang smiled brightly.

“I’m embarrassed. I’ve never shown the world I draw to anyone like this.”

“….”

“I understand what the confusion of the Namgung family is. If you are a swordsman of the Namgung family, you should fight against the enemy even if it means dying.

Isn’t it because you feel a great deal of guilt for abandoning the elders and seniors for the sake of the future?”

“….”

“Namgoong Noh Seon-bae believed in me. The world I drew would be at least one step ahead of the present.

Even if it cannot save everyone in the world, it will be a big difference from the current hell full of madness. You believed that it was.”

Seoliang pointed to Namgungdan with his index finger.

“There is also a matriarch in that world.”

“….”

“Even though the family has been trampled, the world we will rebuild will be brighter and more vibrant than the present.

And in that world, the head of the family will have to govern Anhui well.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes were watery.

“Is that why I survived?”

“As the head of the family, yes. However, Noh Seon-bae held back the enemy for the sake of his son and descendants, not the head of the family.”

“….”

“You know, right?”

Namgungdan closed his eyes. Transparent tears flowed down his cheeks.

Xiliang sighed.

“I know how great the responsibility of the head of the household is. However, please put aside the heavy burden of being the owner of the Namgung family for a while and mourn as a son for your deceased father.”

“….”

“Isn’t it possible for a human being to become a wonderful monarch without being able to fulfill human duties?”

“. ..!”

“Sad enough. Cry a lot and howl a lot. And don’t forget the sorrow.

I dare to guess that the future of the family will unfold only after the family’s guilt is honestly acknowledged.”

Namgoongdan knelt down and bowed his head. Seoliang,

who had been looking down at him silently sobbing, looked up at the sky again.

The weather was not very good . It was. However, the sunlight falling beyond the hazy clouds showed that he was alive and well.

Seo-ryang sighed.

I really wondered when the day would come when he would not sigh in frustration.

“… In two days, I will go to sort out the world. “Let the matriarch be with us.”
