Episode 370. Glory be under the feet of the Heavenly Demon (5)
“Annihilate?”
“That’s right.”
Dam Sa-yeong’s face hardened.
“I will ask again. Did you mean that they were all massacred beyond being destroyed?”
“It is said that none of the elder Do Jeong-kyung, the three-hwan ghost sword, the 100 masters sent from Maeng, and the 200 soldiers sent from the Iron Blood Castle survived.”
“haha.”
A dejected laugh leaked from Dam Sa-young’s mouth.
It was a force sent to guess the opponent’s strength and intentions. I didn’t send it on purpose, but it wasn’t like I sent it out of the blue. Even the troops sent from Iron Blood Castle were formidable.
However, all of those forces evaporated completely.
“What about enemy damage?”
“That is… … .”
There was an honest look of bewilderment on Gong Yachi’s face. Dam Sa-young saw Gong Ya-chi’s expression for the first time.
“It’s nothing.”
“what? Managing Director?”
“yes.”
“Are you saying there is no loss in the forces with the Demonic Sect?”
“That’s right.”
Only then did Dam Sa-yeong’s face show a serious expression.
“How can that be? Even if the Heavenly Demon Army, said to be the strongest in the Demonic Cult, stepped in, there would be no damage at all, right?”
As the level of martial arts learned deepens, the difference between one move widens from pole to pole. It may be a difference that can never be won, and it may be a difference that even the smallest mistake can turn the game upside down.
But it’s a different story when it comes to a group-to-group fight. Even if the troops with the demonic master are the Heavenly Demon Army, the masters sent from Maengseong are not easy. If he had risked his life, it would have been normal to suffer even a little damage.
then?
“Is it because you pushed it with overwhelming force? Enough that there is no time to escape?”
Yes. I have no choice but to interpret it that way.
But no matter how you think about it, that doesn’t make sense. Because that can’t happen.
“Are there any traces of firearms?”
“None.”
“Or memorization or poison?”
“There was none of that either.”
“Then doesn’t that make even more sense? Could it be that the forces with the demonic lord are the legendary Jiangshi?”
“I can’t be sure of that either.”
Jiangshi’s very existence is a legend, close to a myth. The hoaxers have always said that one day the existence of a sword-breaking monster, or Jiangshi, who took the soul out of a human body would appear in the world.
But that was impossible. Even if you can seduce people with witchcraft, how can you move a body that has lost its soul?
It was a shocking report that reminded me of such absurd thoughts.
“But there are strange rumors.”
“Something?”
“Of course it would not be Jiangshi. I think it is impossible no matter how great the Protestant Church or the Demonic Cult has the science of witchcraft. one… … .”
There was a slight hesitation on Gong Yachi’s face.
A subtle change that no one will catch easily. However, Dam Sa-young read Gong Ya-chi’s emotions like lightning.
“A river… … It is said to have crossed.”
Dam Sa-young smiled faintly. She was in no situation to laugh, so she gave a slightly eerie smile.
“Why did you cross the river?”
“It’s not exactly accurate, but it is said that the Demon Emperor riding the Demon Sect flew through the air, and the troops following him walked into the river on their own and came out on the other side.”
It was a word that instantly wiped out a smile.
“You mean they crossed the river naked?”
“That’s right. So their northward speed is beyond imagination. It is said that it is breaking through the midfield vertically while maintaining a constant speed, and it is said that it crosses without avoiding any terrain features such as mountains and rivers that block the front.”
Dam Sa-young was at a loss for words.
I can understand why Gong Yachi hesitated. To say that they all crossed the river on foot was even more absurd than the information that they had slaughtered over 300 masters.
“How likely is that to be true?”
“I can’t say for sure at this time.”
I can’t tell.
However, due to the nature of Gong Ya-chi, there was no way he would have just said such absurd words. It will be information that has its own truth.
“Hehe, unless it’s a Shinseng or a Jiangshi… … .”
In an instant, Dam Sa-young’s eyes flashed.
“Right. I wish I could make it like that.”
“yes?”
“How many informants can Haomen activate now? I was thinking of spreading the information all over the central court.”
I was a little puzzled, but Gong Yachi immediately replied.
“Oh, that’s enough.”
“Let the Demonic Master lead the Jiangshi troops and head north.”
Gong Yachi’s eyes twitched.
“Are you talking about the Jiangshi troops?”
“Yes. You’ll have to keep your informants under tight control. It shouldn’t be information from Haomen. Of course, it shouldn’t be information from the Uicheon League.”
An insidious shadow fell over Dam Sa-young’s eyes.
“I wonder how you will react.”

Lee Cheon-sang thought. It’s been a long time indeed.

Twenty years ago, he reached a level where he did not lose consciousness of his soul even after he escaped his body by washing away the demons that had reached their peak. And he hadn’t had a dream since he reached that level. No, he had hardly even had sleep, the core of life.
A dream of twenty years.
It was such an ambiguous dream that I was clearly aware that I was dreaming, but I didn’t know what it was showing.
‘It’s faster than I thought.’
How long have you been in midfield and are you already getting closer to people?
Isn’t that ironic? When you move to get what you want, that goddamn sky always makes a byway to guide you. And it was the same even now.
Thirty years have passed since Protestants were banned from engaging in foreign activities in order to conquer the world.
As he expected, the political faction was divided and Sapa gathered. The political faction, which is normal only when it comes together through consultation, and the private faction, which should be dispersed due to betrayal and distrust, each forgot their true nature and became weak.
It was an enchanting sacrament.
It was a situation where all you had to do was to trample the Sapa lightly and kill the Jeongpa one by one to dry the seeds. Twenty years ago, before he reached the level of a god, he would certainly have done that.
However, the sky opened a way for him to ascend to a new level, the light. Lee Chun-sang had no choice but to climb the road.
‘That’s nasty.’
His desire for the world was as hot as a volcano. He wanted to make Shingyo the sun of Murim by becoming the first under the demonic world (魔道天下) since the first Heavenly Demon.
It was a desire that I had no choice but to have as a cult leader and a demon. It was a dream, a mandate of heaven, that he had to fulfill, having survived a struggle more hellish than hell.
Indeed, the sky did not allow it.
Because I knew what a huge storm this step in the heavens would cause in the world of Central Plains.
Because he knew that his desire would be able to reach beyond the midfield, to the outside world, and even to the island beyond the sea.
Because he knew that the world would become hell in the process, Heaven restrained him and tempted him.
And even though he reached the peak of demons, he was an obvious person, so he couldn’t escape the temptation.
Even after reaching the sky, I didn’t know right away. I just wanted to go infinitely deeper and infinitely higher, and I actually tried to do that.
The world of mythology and mythology.
After walking the path of God for more than ten years, he realized that he had come to a place he shouldn’t have climbed.
He realized that he had entered a state close to the elimination of the soul, the Buddhist nirvana.
‘If the people in the audience knew this, they’d be shocked.’
The people would not dare to imagine that such a huge desire led them to the path of enlightenment.
Also, if you’ve reached nirvana, you won’t try to stop your soul from leaving your body like you did.
‘It was a really tough road.’
The power to see through the truth of the world at a glance and play with providence.
As soon as I got that power in my hands, my lingering attachment to the world disappeared. No, rather, I wanted to quickly reach the sky and become a brilliant light.
It has been over ten years since I endured such temptation and coercion.
At that time, I thought that it was impossible now, to raise a successor and entrust the magician’s dream to ascend to the sky.
Just then, I met a new disciple.
He met a being who was his disciple and not a disciple, but who made him realize that he was human even though he had reached heaven.
He was surprised to see him, disappointed, sometimes admired, and even moved.
And the moment his blurred personality became clear again, he was able to escape the temptation of escaping his physical body without much effort.
“Did you?”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.
Before I knew it, a disciple was standing in front of a desolate cliff.
“Somehow it doesn’t look like a human.”
Lee Cheon-sang smiled.
“How was the trip to Jungwon?”
“Did you see everything?”
“I saw everything.”
“Then you know. It was just gorgeous.”
Seo Liang said with a chuckle.
Lee Cheon-sang’s smile grew even thicker.
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“What?”
“That I appeared in your subconscious.”
“Of course I was surprised. Wow, I didn’t know that such a thing would be possible. Hey, you’re the kind of person who even makes recruits with your inner strength, what?”
“It looks lighter.”
“I lost some weight.”
“I say it as if I have resolved all my grievances.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“As you can see.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s expression became benevolent. The corners of the eyes were wrinkled, the corners of the mouth raised, and the eyes looked kind, unlike those called demons.
After a while.
“Do what you want to do.”
“Even the teacher.”
“I’m sorry.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Seo-ryang.
“Come to think of it, you never called me master in front of me. To you, I have always been the religious leader.”
“You became very disgusted when I didn’t see you. Why are you frowning like a child?”
“The language is disrespectful.”
“Who did you learn from? I learned everything from Master.”
“When did I… … .”
In an instant, Lee Chun-sang’s eyes widened.
The smiling body of Xu Liang gradually faded.
“Don’t overdo it. I’m leaving.”
Flash!
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.
‘… … It must have been a tickling dream.’
At the same time, I felt a group approaching from ten li away.
It was a group full of all kinds of negative energy, such as tension, anger, fear, and death.
Surprisingly, there was a master among them that could be compared to the old master. There were about 1,000 unmanned soldiers following them, but they were nothing more than trifles. It seemed that the power of the small and medium munpa gathered, judging from the fact that the flow of Jingi was different.
One thousand Murim people.
In a world so wide that it was impossible to know where it ended, 1,000 people were not a small number. Do you want to take up even the volume of one finger on a person’s body?
But it’s been a while. A force like that blocked his way.
drooling.
The Emperor’s insignia opened to the left and right.
Whoa!
There was a master who approached at a frightening speed from far away.
‘Fire.’
After a while, a woman stopped in front of the twenty commanders of the Heavenly Demon Army.
Lee Cheon-sang could see that the woman’s face was stained with shock. She wants to get closer, but it seems that the accident has stopped when she sees Banseon (半仙), which should not exist in the world.
‘Who is it.’
The moment a question arises, the answer is heard.
“Is it fattening?”
Empress Zhu Rong.
After the death of King Salwang Cheon Ha-jin, she was a high school girl who was newly promoted to the rank of top ten master.
Empress Zhu Rong asked in a trembling voice.
“Eh, Demonic Sect?!”
“… … .”
“What are you… … .”
“know.”
It was quite a distance, but the voice of the heavenly angel gently pierced her ears.
“I know your heart.”
“What, what?”
“But as long as you stand in front of me with an impure heart, I won’t just let you go.”
Lee Cheon-sang stretched out his hand to one side.
Sureureung.
A splendid treasured sword with a golden dragon pattern engraved on its body was held in his hand.
‘It’s a sword I haven’t seen in a long time.’
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been looking down at the sword body, swung the sword carelessly.
It was literally just whipped. When the sword was lightly lowered into the air, I could not feel the waves of true energy, the flow of air, or even the intent to kill.
Empress Zhu Rong was stunned.
what? What have you done?
Sureureung.
Li Cheon-sang, who put the Demon Emperor’s Treasured Sword back in, looked down at Empress Zhu Rong with bored eyes.
“As long as my body is bound to the earth, I will remain a demon to the end.”
slither.
“ah?!”
The red line that started on the forehead ran down the chin and nose and reached the local area.
Dumbfounded, Empress Zhu Rong looked down at her chest with a blank face.
and.
Fuhuaaak!
Empress Zhu Rong’s body was split vertically.
Whoops! Roaring!
Her dismembered corpse exploded and was engulfed in black flames. The roaring flame disappeared in an instant, leaving only a skull split in half.
Lee Cheon-sang turned his head.
As if there was no inspiration, his expression, not even lifting an eyebrow, was fear itself.
“Clean it up.”
The Demons of the Heavenly Demon Army lowered their heads in unison.
“Reign Seonggyo (君臨聖敎)! Heavenly Demon Undying!”
Thousands of Murim people who gathered together with only cooperation as a weapon to lead the Jiangshi troops and stop the demonic lord who was on his way to the north.
They did not dare to raise their heads and scattered.
