Episode 274. Demons have no destination (4)
Geomjeol (劍絶) Namgungdan (南宮端).
He is the family head of the Namgung family of the time and is a transcendent master who is said to be the best swordsman in Anhui.
Unlike the previous head of households, who were usually determined and calm, the reputation for having a fairly soft and gentle temperament was predominant.
And the Namgung Dan, whom Xi Liang knew, was a person who exactly matched the public’s evaluation.
‘Is it four or five years?’
I’ve seen it a few times when I was living as Salwang Cheon Ha-jin. Of course, it wasn’t a face-to-face meeting, but when Namgung-dan met Dam Sa-yeong, he saw it in hiding.
It was clear that he was quite an impressive person. Most of the heads of the Gupailbangs and the five great families were tossed around by Dam Sa-young’s three chi tongues, but Namgungdan was not of that type.
He was gentle, kind, and knew his duty.
Unfortunately, because of that aspect, the Danggeum Namgung family’s right to speak was inevitably weakened.
‘I wondered if there were three or four senior leaders in the family, but the head of the household came directly?’
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
‘That must mean it’s not that serious.’
he took a step forward
“Namgung Gaju Swordsman Namgung Dan, right?”
The first person who saw it immediately recognized his identity. Her face sold quite a bit externally, but she couldn’t help but be wary.
Namgungdan’s eyes narrowed.
“Who are you? Who is it that exudes such a terrifying spirit?”
He has never met Ma-in, so he doesn’t even know that Xi Liang’s qi is Magi.
Seo Liang said confidently.
“I’m from Protestantism.”
“… … Protestantism?”
“It’s called Seoryang, the small religion of the Heavenly Demon Goddess.”
Namgungdan tilted his head.
“Heavenly Demon… … Protestantism?”
“… … .”
“… … no way?!”
“exactly.”
Cha Cha Cha Chang!
The swordsmen who were hiding behind Namgungdan pulled out their swords as if they had been waiting.
A look of ridicule crept across Shih Liang’s face.
There was no way that someone of the rank of Namgungdan would not know what that smile meant. He quickly raised his hand.
“Stop! Let everyone use a lead sword!”
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The sound of dozens of swords being sucked into the armor resonated loudly. It was a clean sound, as if a single sword had been slashed.
“Prepare the sword.”
Flash! Flash!
Dozens of pairs of eyelights spewed fire. In the not-so-dark forest, sharp eyes watched the group of Xu Liang.
Seo Liang said calmly.
“I told you to insert the sword, may I ask why you ordered the sword to be removed again?”
“I don’t know if you’re really a member of the Heavenly Demon Church. However, it is unreasonable for anyone to let go of their guard even in front of someone who exudes such a dangerous spirit.”
Namgungdan took a slight embrace.
“Please understand.”
Seo Liang, who was watching Namgung Dan, looked back at Ma Dong Pil and Yeo Sang Rin.
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes were shining brightly. A look of admiration fell on Yeo Sang-rin’s face.
‘Isn’t that great?’
If Namgungdan was shocked by Seo Ryang’s spirit, Seo Ryang and the two were surprised by Namgung Dan’s words and actions.
People say that you need to get to know people before you know them, but just by showing that kind of side in a bloody Moorim, you could tell that Namgungdan’s personality is good.
Moreover, Namgungdan was the owner of a family. It was usually not a big deal to even say hello to the minor head of the Heavenly Demon Church, which could be seen as a hostile force.
Xiliang did not dare to take the greetings of the Namgungdan lightly.
“Forgive me for the harsh tone. Greetings again. My name is Seo Liang, the minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
“It’s none other than the Namgungdan who leads the Namgung family.”
It was a greeting between employees. A strict atmosphere was formed in which no one could intervene.
“I heard the information that the Namgung family’s swordsmen were here, but I didn’t know that the family head would be here.”
“Me too. I never thought that the Protestant minor would come to a place like this.”
Like the others, it is not called the Demonic Cult, but the Protestant Cult. He was basically a person who knew how to respect others.
Confusion lingered in Namgungdan’s eyes.
“That intense giwave must be Magi.”
“That’s right.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t believe it. You haven’t played in the midfield for over 30 years, but since when… … .”
Seo Liang smiled.
“It’s been quite a while. Of course, only me and a few others came out.”
If the outgoing words are good, the coming words are also good. It was the first time they had met face-to-face like this, but the somewhat stiff atmosphere between the two quickly softened.
“I will tell you the truth about what happened.
I made up my mind to fight in the event of a conflict with your family. However, since the head of household seems to respect us, I hope there will be no needless sword fighting.”
“Of course. Who in the world would want to fight the demons of the Protestant Church? but… … .”
Namgungdan’s face hardened slightly.
“If our mutual goals collide, isn’t it inevitable then?”

“Of course I will.”
If you were a master of Namgungdan level, you would have been able to grasp Seo Liang’s skills at once.
I’m sure you’ll be surprised by him, but don’t show it. In addition, by directly mentioning the possibility of a collision, they made their respective positions clear.
Aside from martial arts, it was a job that deserved to be praised for its temperament and personality.
“We have come to drive some kind of power out of this land.”
Namgungdan first revealed his purpose.
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“That kind of power must be the Cheonryonggung.”
“… … As a brief conversation, I wondered if the purpose of the small school was also theirs. Is my inference correct?”
Seo Liang smiled.
“I don’t think we will ever have to do sword fighting.”
“I hope it puts my mind at ease.”
It was a sincere word.
However, Namgungdan did not let go of tension until the end. The opponent was a small master of the Heavenly Demon, which was said to be the strongest and worst in Murimsa for thousands of years.
It means a person who will not be strange no matter when and in any way.
“So what did Xiaoqiao do to the Heavenly Dragon Palace… … ?”
“I really want to ask. Uicheonmaeng joined hands with the rest of the three palaces except Binggung. But why are you confronting them?”
Namgungdan sighed.
“It’s really not that easy to explain that part. Not only is there a lot of content, but even though I hate the current regime, I am clearly walking the white road.
As it is an obvious confrontational relationship with your school, it would be difficult to say anything hastily.”
“I understand.”
“Of course, it would be difficult for Sogido Seo to tell us his purpose… … .”
“It’s not hard. I have nothing to hide.”
Namgungdan’s eyes widened.
“If you do, why?”
“Because it’s an enemy you’ll have to face someday.”
The reason was simple enough to make me laugh out loud.
“Isn’t that the same for us?”
“It is completely different. Even if you destroy the Heavenly Dragon Palace, it will end there, but if you fight the Gwi family, a war will break out.”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“There may be war someday, but not now. And I don’t want to be the starting point of that war.”
Namgungdan, who was quietly watching Seo Liang, nodded.
“I will respect Sogyo Seo’s will. if… … .”
“I think we can split up like this.”
The purpose is the same, so there is no need to fight each other.
But joint attack is impossible. Not only did their hands and feet not match, but it was absurd for the top political faction’s most prestigious family and the head of the magic headquarters to hold hands.
Namgungdan took possession.
“I hope there are no disturbances.”
“I am of the same mind. Enough then.”
Seo Liang turned around. Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin followed.
Namgungdan’s eyes gradually deepened as he watched the party walking away.
“He’s the little master of the Heavenly Demonic Church… … .”
Then, a woman approached him.
“father.”
“The position is vacant now.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Namgunghwa, a woman playfully sticking out her tongue, asked.
“Is it okay if I let you go like this?”
“You mean we should fight if we do?”
“It’s not like that, but if the other person is really the minor head of the Heavenly Demon Church, sending them away… … .”
Namgungdan shook his head.
“It won’t do any good if we fight them with our troops now.”
“yes?”
“I can’t decide if I can win even if you, Seom Yeong-jo, and Thunder King’s Sword Team, who went out to reconnaissance, all attack.”
Namgunghwa’s eyes widened.
“Nonsense! They are only three… … .”
“Not only. Three that could be three hundred or three thousand.”
Namgungdan let out a sigh.
“To think he was already on the verge of becoming a virtuoso, no, at such a young age.”
“… … !”
“I wondered why the Heavenly Demonic Church, which had a strong presence, reduced its external activities, but it seems that it did it to raise such a monster.
I don’t know exactly… … I don’t think there will be much of a difference compared to your grandfather.”
“Yeah, it can be.”
Shocked, Namgoonghwa suddenly shook his head and said.
“You will never be able to compare yourself to your grandfather.”
“Yes, even if you have reached the absolute stage, you cannot ignore the experience.”
“Besides, if we pour in all our forces, it will be difficult for even a teenage master to be safe.”
“That is also true.”
The problem wasn’t that.
The most important thing in battle is the quality and quantity of troops. But just as important as that is luck, including circumstances, circumstances, and variables.
You don’t know when or how the outcome will come out. Namgungdan thought that it was still too early for Namgunghwa. No, I thought there was no need to explain in words.
After all, until you experience it, you never know the world of competition.
‘It’s a shocking feat. It’s not a simple drama. It’s not inferior to that of a teenage master. But what’s even more surprising is that character.’
He reached the peak at a young age. It is not strange even if he becomes arrogant.
Nonetheless, the minor master of Shingyo knew how to be polite and when to withdraw, and also knew how to keep the line.
Character and temper can sometimes be more terrifying than martial arts.
“The midfield is going to be in an uproar.”
* * *
“Why are you just leaving?”
“what?”
“Doesn’t it make things easier if you hold hands with the Namgung family?”
“A demon and the best swordsman of the sect hold hands? Nonsense.”
“You’re the one who doesn’t care about that.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“You are right. I don’t care about that.”
“But why… … ?”
“Not me, but they will mind.”
“ah.”
“The small owner of the demon group, which was called the worst group in the Gangho Murim, appeared in the world after 30 years.
If you hold hands with such a devil, the prestige of the Namgung family will hit the bottom in the future. You should also consider the reputation of the family head.”
Yeo Sang-rin scratched her head.
“Did you like the housekeeper?”
“Isn’t it you?”
“… … It sucks.”
Ma Dong-pil said.
“I think I finally saw a true Jeong Fine.”
“okay.”
Xi Liang shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyway, there is no need to fight the Namgung family. We just do our job right.”
Wow!
The group ran out again.
It is said to be a broadwood forest, and as the name suggests, it is full of trees that are not normal. The further we went inside, the more the atmosphere in the forest seemed to become more insidious.
how long did it run
Tadak!
Xu Liang’s eyes flashed as he stood on the protruding thick roots of the tree.
‘The smell of blood?’
The faint smell of blood, and fraud.
It is not the smell of animal blood. I also felt resentment for fraud. It was a human corpse.
A group that went a hundred chapters further.
“… … !”
Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin’s faces were filled with astonishment.
“What is this?!”
Wheein! Wheein!
Twenty or so corpses were scattered in a place where thousands or tens of thousands of flying insects were entangled.
The sage’s eyes twinkled.
It was similar to the sight I saw in my dream. The only difference is that there are more bugs and that the bodies scattered on the floor are not Ma Dong-pil, Yeo Sang-rin, or Aeng-hwa.
It was then.
Wow!
A strong wave was felt from the north. It was a collision between a familiar sword and an unfamiliar fraud.
Xi Liang exclaimed.
“Heavenly Dragon! Follow me!”
