Chapter 367. Glory be under the feet of the Heavenly Demon (2)
Arriving at the place where the party was, Gogu puzzled Xu Liang with a solemn face.
“Kill me!”
“It’s all my negligence.”
“sorry.”
From each word, the sadness oozes out so desperately that it is burdensome. Originally, he was not a nobleman like this, but he seemed unable to forgive himself for not participating in the battle.
Not only Seoliang, but also Gorumazon came out and calmed down for a long time before Kogu stopped drinking alcohol. There was no change in his expression when he asked to be killed or now, but he seemed to have calmed down a bit now.
“So, are you feeling better now?”
“Roughly.”
Xie Liang’s face looked very refreshed. All of her internal and external wounds had healed, and after eating a full meal, she was able to live.
“Fortunately, the.”
“What happened anyway?”
“Centering Hyeoncheonjinin, all former masters of shamans who were addicted to blood were detoxified.”
“great job.”
Unlike Shaolin, the shaman faction was confronted by former masters and active leaders. If the former masters had not been addicted to blood, the world would have changed.
‘Damn old man… … I didn’t cross the line.’
I didn’t agree with Dam Sa-young’s method, but I thought I knew why he didn’t kill the former masters.
It polluted the minds of most of the active leaders of the shaman faction, but the shaman was still a shaman. If the former masters had been killed, those under active duty would have risen up. In that case, the entire non-partisan faction was left to be devastated.
‘Even if I were Dam Sa-young, it would have been difficult for me to abandon the shaman faction. Shaman’s power rivals that of Shaolin. Even if it takes time, if I just subdue all the previous masters, I’ll be able to fully seize that power.’
The corner of Seo Liang’s mouth went up.
‘That greed that couldn’t give up caught my ankle.’
If he hadn’t burned the blood of Shaolin and the shamans, after many years the shamans would have fallen into the hands of Dam Sa-yeong.
But now it’s different. The Banjeonghoe was formed around Shaolin and Shaman, and it was strongly pressing the Uicheon League.
“… … Of course, I was embarrassed, but I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
“yes?”
“no. I was just thinking about the power of that organization called Anti-Jeonghoe.”
“It is an organization brought together by none other than Shaolin and shamans. It will be difficult for the Uicheon Meng to move for the time being.”
“It is not.”
A look of doubt appeared on Gogu’s face.
Xi Liang shook his head and explained calmly.
“From the perspective of demons, it may be so, but anyone who knows how the rightist sect works will know that the pressure of the anti-jeonghoe is not that great.”
“Isn’t there a lot of pressure?”
“The political faction exerts its greatest power when it has a cause. Which one is holding the cause now, the Uicheon League or the Anti-Jeonghoe?”
“Of course, isn’t it anti-jeonghoe?”
“that’s right. But what is the source that allows that justification to exert its power?”
is it the source? What do you mean?
Everyone was staring at Seo Liang with puzzled eyes.
“It is the people.”
“… … ah!”
“When a political faction is fighting a sapa or a magician, the reason why they can charge without looking back is because the majority of the people support them. It has no choice but to be. Because the banner of a political faction that respects loyalty and cooperation is enough to win the support of the people.”
Xu Liang raised the index fingers of both hands and pressed them together.
“However, the current situation can be seen as an infighting between factions, for example. No matter how great a cause you have, in the eyes of the people, it won’t be anything more than a fight.”
“But isn’t the Uicheon Lord the one who cares about that?”
“It’s a big problem for the Anti-Jeonghoe.”
“… … !”
“Shaolin and shamans are called Taishan North Head, and have always listened to the people. They will never do anything that harms the people in the slightest. At least based on him, we will decide our next course of action.”
Ma Dong-pil was embarrassed and asked.
“If so, does that mean that the Anti-Cheonghoe, which was created by the Little Master’s intention, doesn’t actually deal a big blow to the Uicheon League?”
“That’s not right. To be precise, the anti-Jeonghoe itself cannot deal a great blow to the Uicheon League. However, if Sapa or the main school gets involved, the story will change.”
“ah!”
“Even the old man would know that. So I’m going to try to get rid of the anti-jeonghoe somehow. Whether you use old school excluding Shaolin and shaman, or use third power.”
“The third power means… … ?”
Seo Liang avoided an immediate answer. It was because he wasn’t sure.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his eyes.
“From the fight a few days ago.”
“yes.”
“Musang and Hyeonmu-dae of the Uicheon League, and the troops of the Iron Blood Castle were surely together, right?”
“That’s right.”
“… … .”
“no way?!”
“I wish I could, but I mean.”
Seo Liang frowned.
“Old man, I don’t know if he’s planning to join hands with the iron-blooded castle and blow up the anti-jeonghoe.”
Everyone was startled.
Gorumazon said in a rather skeptical tone.
“I’m sorry, young schoolmaster. Although the lord of the Iron Blood Castle is rough, I know that he is a person who is highly regarded for his righteousness.”
“Yes, he was like that in real life.”
“Ah, yes. Didn’t she say you’d met her in person?”

“yes.”
“Such a Iron Blooded Castle Lord now joining hands with the Uicheon Meng is somewhat… … .”
I couldn’t bear to say that it couldn’t be. It was because he wanted to hurt his pride.
Seo Liang shook his head.
“The lord of the Iron Blood Castle is definitely a decent person. But do you know why he supported my move?”
“… … ?”
“It was because I could sever the starting point of the unification of the world, which is what each of the three generations of Kang Ho wanted.”
Gorumazon widened his eyes.
“Unfortunately, on my way to Shandong, I broke the tacit agreement with Sungjoo Song. With the intention of attacking the Iron Blood Castle, I hid the Iron Sword Demon and the light steed. If Song Seong-ju is not an idiot, he will not know about it.”
“this… … !”
“Even if I hadn’t done that, there is a possibility that Seongju Song would join hands with the Uicheon Lord. He is a big-hearted man, but he also wants to take control of the world. I can do anything for that dream.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Right. It’s definitely very likely. Old Dame was always like this. He is better at disrupting a situation and delivering an unexpected blow than crushing an approaching threat head-on.”
“Huh!”
“The way to secure one’s own safety and at the same time free up the flow of allies is, of course, a temporary alliance with the Iron Blood Castle. After forming an alliance with the Sangvis, if you ask the Sangvis to hold an anti-jeonghoe, all worries will disappear.”
The party was speechless at Xiliang’s shocking interpretation.
Gorumazon opened his mouth.
“I think I can guess that from the circumstances, but honestly I don’t know this old man.”
It was an honest confession.
Sangrin Yeo shook her head.
“Your little master is right.”
“hmm?!”
“No, rather than being right, it should be seen as belonging to the axis with a very high possibility of that at the moment. Because the Uicheon Lord has a lot to gain from that one alliance.”
Gogu said.
“Of course it is. But there is one catch. Even if the Uicheon Lord could do that, the Sangvis Lord would join hands with the Lord to get something.”
“It was the young schoolmaster’s a little while ago… … .”
“Of course, the young master hit the back of the lord. It can be seen as an effective attack aimed at the enemy’s gap. At the same time, it is said that the lord of the castle also has a dream of unifying the world, so it is not impossible.”
“that’s right.”
“The question is whether you can take advantage of it fairly. The iron-blooded castle lord is not an idiot, but wouldn’t the righteous lord only do good things? He will definitely ask for something, and the Uicheon Lord must give something reasonable to the request. Otherwise, Mengseong’s ally is only one mana.”
It was a very sharp point.
Xi Liang also nodded and agreed.
“God Dangju is right. If an alliance is formed, Old Dame must give the equivalent to the Iron Blood Castle Lord. That’s how it pays off.”
“As a result, unless you know what it is, the statement that Mengseong is united is only a hypothesis.”
Xi Liang was deep in thought.
‘Certainly, there is some truth in the late Dangju’s words. Dam old man can use iron-blood to get a lot of benefits. But what about iron blood? He said that he hoped for a tribulation in the central plains for the sake of unifying the world, but there was no reason to do so until he suffered a loss.’
If so, is it just a mere suspicion?
‘No way… … If I were an old man, I would have made an alliance with the Iron Blood Castle unconditionally. And I will surely succeed. ‘Cause that’s the old man’s way.’
The reason why Xu Liang has been able to play an active role in Shinkyo and Jungwon so far lies in his background and the strategy and tactics of attacking the opponent outside of military force.
He was very good at that method. And that wasn’t something you could get by doing a watering job.
The reason why he has been able to accurately see through the interests between the factions and use strategic tactics to outwit the enemy is because he has seen every single thing he has done next to Dam Sa-yeong.
That’s how much he knew about Dam Sa-young. In a way, he was like a direct disciple of Dam Sa-young in the field of strategy.
‘Assuming an alliance, what can the old man give to the lord of the Iron Blood Castle? The iron-blooded castle lord, who has already unified Sapa, won’t have a political opponent like the anti-Jeonghoe.’
After a moment of silence, Xu Liang sighed and said.
“Let’s rest here for one more day. There is a lot to think about.”
dawn the next day.
Jeon Seo-eung flew to Gogu, who was slowly moving to Hebuk.
“Schoolmaster! I got a call from Daesan! It is paid!”
Gogu delivered the letter attached to Jeon Seo-eung’s ankle to Seo-ryang.
Xi Liang’s eyes widened when he saw the letter.
“What is it about?”
The wonder engraved on everyone’s face.
Xu Liang, who blankly read the letter, burst into laughter. It was a mixture of dejection and surprise.
“Old Dame… … I knew my old man was half crazy, but I didn’t know he was this crazy.”
It’s nothing new, but I really couldn’t help but think of it.
“We give up going north. I will go straight south to Hubei.”
“yes?!”
“Meng Seong has formed an alliance.”
“omg!”
“Are you saying it was true?”
Roaring.
Xu Liang burned the letter. The blue demonic energy unique to the reigning demon seemed to look a little dark.
“It’s not a problem that Mengseong formed an alliance. If this was done wrong, the whole world would be swept up in war. Shit! All in all, now!”
I was stunned.
I wondered if he had given the Iron Blood Castle lord something to seduce him, but that wasn’t the case. Dam Sa-yeong did not intend to give anything to the iron-blooded castle lord, but he forced a choice by drawing a terrible future into it.
“Crazy bastard. Thinking of touching the Heavenly Demon?”
A strong man of anti-seon (半仙) who can be said to be the strongest in the history of Protestantism.
Lee Cheon-sang was heading north.
