Episode 105. The one who looks into the heart of God (5)
Ho Yo-seong’s words came to mind.
– Even if I don’t have to come, the teacher will know everything, right?
– There’s no way the headmaster doesn’t know what I know, right?
Yes.
Hoyoseong is great – or dangerous – because of his great personal ability and power.
He was a genius with an excellent eye, and at the same time, he was a general commander with power over all people.
And the person who walked one level higher than Hoyoseong was Lee Cheon-sang.
Not only is the position of the religious leader, the most powerful member of the Protestant Church, higher, but his personal abilities are also incomparable. If Ho Yo-seong is the eye of Shin religion, Lee Cheon-sang is Shin religion itself.
There is no way that Lee Cheon-sang, who knew perfectly well who was the real culprit who slaughtered the seven disciples two years ago, was unaware of Xi Liang’s expulsion.
Then why didn’t he reprimand Seo Liang?
– It may or may not be. I can’t even see how the teacher will move or what he’s thinking.
Xi Liang secretly rubbed his sweaty palms on his thighs. His neck tightened and his back felt damp.
yeah i knew I vaguely knew about it through a conversation with Ho Yo-seong. But when she heard it right in front of her eyes, it felt different.
If I wanted to punish you for that, I would have called right away. Of course, I wouldn’t be trying to catch a book now.
… … I know, but why are you so anxious?
Lee Cheon-sang spoke nonchalantly.
“These herbs were not gathered to make elixirs.”
Ah yes.
“These are focused on removing (滅), stealing (奪), and killing (殺) any ingredient. It’s not very useful for manufacturing elixirs that need to amplify weak power.”
“… … .”
“But to me, it is as useful as Ji Kang-hyeon, whom I received as a disciple.”
The sage’s eyes sparkled.
He said that Ji Kang-hyeon was needed for the Heavenly Demon Church. And those herbs, like Ji Kang-hyeon, were said to be useful for him.
To think of oneself as Cheonma Shingo itself. It could be said to be the confidence of a religious leader, but Xu Liang felt a strange sense of incongruity.
‘Wait, didn’t you tell Ji Kang-hyun that it was an ingredient?’
ingredient.
It wasn’t a metaphor. Literally, I could feel Lee Chun-sang’s sincerity to use Ji Kang-hyeon as material.
“You mean useful?”
“I will experiment on him with these herbs.”
“Experiment… … What?”
“Yes.”
A peculiar careless gaze. In those eyes, Xu Liang read the cruelty of the Demon God, which is far from human common sense.
“The concentration of true energy, the degree of clarity of consciousness, and the threshold of desire. Assuming all of that, I will annihilate his humanity.”
“… … !”
“The probability of success is incalculable. Of course, it won’t be an easy task, and he’ll most likely end up dead.”
kill humanity? Nine out of ten, you’ll be a dead person? What kind of creepy word is this?
A faint smile crept across Lee’s lips.
“In case of failure, it will become obsolete.”
Xi Liang felt a chill.
Abandon use? Lee Cheon-sang was saying that he would conduct a human experiment with no chance of success.
I didn’t want to ask what the reason was. I didn’t even seem to be able to tell.
There was something else I was really curious about.
“For that from the beginning… … Did you say you would accept me as a disciple?”
“Because the Demonic Sword Master wanted it.”
“… … !”
“If I hadn’t been asked to adopt a child as a disciple, I would have experimented on myself. But if you’re a felon who deserves punishment, it won’t hurt to use it as an experiment material.”
“What are you going to do after the experiment is over?”
“You will know when the time comes. But I don’t think fish that have been cooked will be able to swim in the sea again.”
The sage’s eyes twitched.
I don’t know how grueling the experiment was. But it’s better to be decapitated with a single knife, I didn’t want to become someone’s experimental material and howl in despair.
Anyone will.
I don’t know if he will be punished appropriately for the crime he committed, but at least it is certain that it will be a terrible end.
‘It’s something people shouldn’t do.’
Yes. this is inhumane
but… … .
“I hope you fail.”
A cruel life flashed in Xi Liang’s eyes.
“That is also very disastrous.”
Killed seven Protestants?
It is a serious crime that would be fine even if it was beaten to death. But that’s not all.
He must have sent countless civilians to hell. The vivid life that drifts around the eyes proves it.
Even if the crimes were revealed in detail and imprisoned in the Criminal Court, at most it would be the death penalty or life imprisonment.
Rather, it is better to suffer desperately in endless despair. That was Seo Liang’s idea.
And looking at such a seolyang, Lee Chun-sang thought.
‘It’s getting closer.’
When the third was brought into the panmajeong, he felt nothing but death.
He instinctively understood the concept of death.

Even Lee Cheon-sang, who had been digging into demons for decades and now started to get away from the concept of demons, couldn’t imagine that such a guy would exist in reality.
But now it’s different.
The guy who used to walk alone in death was now slowly getting closer to a demon.
It doesn’t matter why he was angry. The important thing is that this guy has become more brutal and rough than before.
In this way, if you gradually get closer to the devil, the reason will become unimportant later on. It will be cruel and wild and vile for no reason.
If you don’t reach the extreme end before then… … This guy is probably just an ordinary Mine who is just strong.
Seo Liang sighed.
“If things were going to turn out like this, I’d be fooled for nothing.”
Lee Cheon-sang knew the real culprit and even thought of dealing with him. In the end, he went out of his way and ended up suffering only physically.
“Not like that.”
“yes?”
“I am not subject to the interference of flesh and blood in dealing with my disciples. But thanks to you, didn’t the magic sword master realize this situation?”
“… … ?”
“Even if I committed a mortal sin, I can’t help but feel resentment towards the religious leader who destroyed my flesh and blood.”
“… … !”
“Because you stepped forward, as a result, the demonic sword master stopped having complaints against me. Whether you know it in advance or not, whether you acknowledge it yourself or not is the big difference.”
“… … okay.”
“Therefore, the owner of the demonic sword must thank you.”
thanks?
“Thanks to that, I was able to maintain the family line.”
The sage’s eyes widened.
Keeping the family line alive? what is this again?
Lee Cheon-sang, who emptied his glass, said.
“Sooner or later I will give you an order. I think the four guys who are starving enough to go outside to get some fresh air without even looking at it are perfect for relieving the wind.”
Seo Liang coughed involuntarily. Thank you for just passing it on, but I wondered if I had to say such a thing.
What’s your name anyway?
“Just so you know.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Get out and see.”
Seo-ryang leaves Daejeon with his head bowed.
In a moment of curiosity, he turned around.
“I… … Master.”
“… … .”
“Can I ask you one more question?”
“I allow it.”
Xie Liang’s face darkened.
“Then, do you know why the three sons, Ji Yeong-hyeon, became like that?”
“Know.”
I knew it.
“I had a great inner strength sealed. The martial arts were insignificant.”
“I guess so.”
“Even though I was fine during the day, I lost my reason at night. Why is that guy… … ?”
Lee Cheon-sang cut it off.
“You don’t need to know that far.”
Embarrassed, he lowered his head again.
“See you later.”
thud.
Thus, the gates of Daejeon are closed.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was filling his glass alone, took out a bag of gold from his bosom.
“It’s called Hwasin Jewel (禍神寶玉) … Did you still remain in Gangho?”
There was a slight interest in his eyes.
“I got something interesting.”
It is one of the items that the convoy demons posted along with the report. At the time, anything deemed useful at the raid site was collected.
The collected items also included blood and claws. In addition, the gold bag that Jeong Il-ryong gave to Oh Gyeong-hwa, the head of the Iron Guard, in exchange for the Hwasin Jewel was also in his hand.
“In many ways, you see the third virtue.”
The Hwasin Jewel plays the role of absorbing energy when the right situation is created.
It’s not about sucking in energy. It steals and absorbs people’s life spirits and expedition keepers.
If the Incarnation Jewel hadn’t fallen into his hands, Ji Yeong-hyeon would have tried to get it too.
Ji Young-hyeon, who learned the Suction Magic Gong (吸精魔功), which was mutated by Ji Kang-hyeon’s trick, would have been unable to live a normal life in the future.
That was the reason Ji Yeong-hyeon was aiming for the Mukwang Sword. It was approached to suck the extreme demonic energy sleeping in the magic bottle of Cheongo.
Of course, if he had sucked up the demonic energy of the sword of King Mu, his body would have exploded and died that way.
‘I will make the inner workings of my flesh and blood my own… … I was too greedy.’
The reason Ji Kang-hyeon made Ji Young-hyeon learn Suction Magic Gong by proxy was because he knew the side effects.
Perhaps Ji Kang-hyeon has been constantly managing Ji Young-hyeon.
He must have exquisitely manipulated and exploited Ji Young-hyeon’s desire to lose his reason and suck up others’ inner energy.
It was for this reason that Ji Young-hyeon accidentally had an accident on the first day of entering the school. The person who could suppress Ji Yeong-hyeon’s desire was not with him because he was in the Demon Palace.
“It will be an unforgettable breakout ceremony for the Demonic Sword Master.”
You will have to think about the treatment of the eldest son as well as the third son.
* * *
“It happened.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Gogu and Soyeonsim said nothing.
Seo Liang licked his lips. What to filter out is a rather bland ending that has been passed on after filtering out, but what can we do? That the board belonged to Lee Cheon-sang, not to anyone else.
Lee Cheon-sang said he would, so the two couldn’t see him handcuffed. It will be regrettable in many ways.
Soyeonshim let out a sigh.
“I’m rather glad.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know how the headmaster will deal with the real culprit… … is it so. This might be better.”
It was a sign that he wanted to believe so hard.
Gogu shook his head.
“So Wonju’s words are correct. If the headmaster said yes, the true culprit would be in great pain.”
“yes?”
“I’m not trying to discredit my god, but when you reward or punish someone, don’t say that you will do this or that.”
“… … !”
“The headmaster said he would take care of it himself. I dare to guess that the true culprit will struggle in a place worse than hell. He is neither dead nor alive.”
Xiao Yansim as well as Xi Liang felt chills running down his spine.
Kogu, who is the head of the Criminal Law Party and no one else, says that. I felt a sense of reality.
“Then what will Ji Young-hyun do?”
“You didn’t say anything about him. I think you’ll probably leave it to us to deal with it.”
“okay.”
Soyeonshim sighed. The examination was complicated.
“I guess I am just like everyone else. It is his older brother who committed the crime, but his younger brother, Ji Young-hyeon, doesn’t look good either.”
“I understand.”
“If you do, what will happen to Ji Young-hyun?”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“Perhaps the demonic master will ask for release?”
“I guess I should.”
Gogu said.
“He is guilty too, though not as much as his brother. Because he attacked Protestants.”
“You man, that was a sting operation.”
“That too. But who knows what he would do again if I let him go?”
“Then grab it then. Why is the Criminal Law Party the Criminal Law Party?”
“Do you want to discuss the significance of the party’s existence? I’m sorry, but I’m the head of the Criminal Court and the main school’s mage. I can’t let go of someone who will be harmful to the school if left alone, even though I know that.”
Seo Liang sighed. If you look at this and that logic, there will be no limit.
‘Well, it’s a problem that I don’t have to say anything about because I’m detained in the Criminal Court.’
Then, Gogu spoke.
“But even if you don’t want to capture it, the demon sword master won’t ask for three sons.”
“huh? why? She has put her first child in an infinite hell, so wouldn’t she be even more inclined to take her third child?”
“The head of the demonic sword mismanaged his children. And the headmaster knows that.
The demonic sword master cannot choose anything that can be judged to be an unreasonable request on this side.”
Gogu’s eyes shone.
“You don’t want to see your family ruined because of your son.”
“… … .”
“He has already abandoned his eldest son. He made the decision not as a father, but as a demon swordsman. The second option will be easier.”
“… … Right.”
“Of course, the heart will be cut as much as that.”
It’s an unfair word. But it was also a reality.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Liang immediately rose from his seat.
“Anyway, take care of him. Because I think it’s only right to lose my teeth.”
Gogu took possession.
“Regardless of the outcome, I am indebted to the Three Gongja. I will never forget this debt.”
“Sniff, that’s it.”
Sowonju also lowered his head.
“You have suffered a lot. I’ll see you once a day.”
“I would appreciate it if you could bring me a good drink.”
“Of course.”
Xu Liang took a look at the two and left the Criminal Law Hall.
Ma Dong-pil, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly approached.
“Are you here?”
“Ugh.”
“Did you finish well?”
“It’s a bit sloppy, but what… … .”
Xu Liang sighed softly and smiled.
“Are there two days left for Parsun Festival?”
“That’s right.”
“Okay, then… … .”
He clenched his fists.
“Let’s enjoy the remaining two days properly!”
