Episode 435. sprouting seeds (5)
Ho Il-do, the head of the swordsmen, said.
“We are from Gangseo Sanghoe.”
“Is it too much?”
Seo Liang frowned.
“They lack skills, but they have their own loyalty. Well, since they’re like this, I’d have sent them.”
You don’t have to listen to the other person. Xiliang was already convinced that these four thieves were sent by the Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce.
Hoildo’s face twitched.
The other person didn’t seem to want to talk to him at all. Just judge and judge. It was only then that it was difficult to convey the words of Sanghojuism.
“Are you really the owner of the Heavenly Demon Church?”
Seo Liang shrugged.
“huh.”
“⋯⋯.”
When the first shock dissipated, not only the Four Great Lakes, but all the people in Zhuru felt bewildered.
The Demonic Cult Master they imagined was never like this. Even if it wasn’t a three-headed-yukbi monster, I’ve been imagining the terrifying demonic energy and exploding light source.
But what is the appearance of Xiliang now?
It shows a flexible figure that is unthinkable as the notorious Yeomramaje. His presence was unusual, but that was all. In a way, he seemed to be aloof.
Yeomramaje’s actions were now being treated like a legend.
Not only did he break out in all kinds of hot events across the midfield, but the madness of the King of Flames, who led thousands of demons and pushed the iron-blooded castle, gave a tremendous shock to both Jeongsa and Yang. Perhaps even the word “mad spirit” has been attached to it.
However, no matter how you look at it, the current Seoryang did not show an appearance worthy of being called a Yeomramaje or a Gwangma.
Xi Liang didn’t care about people’s gaze at all.
“Anyway, it’s faster than I thought.”
“⋯⋯?”
“I thought it would take at least half a day, but I came here in less than an hour… The information network of Gangseo Store is amazing. It’s not a lie to say that the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce dominates the Gangseo Castle.”
There was no other reason for walking down the street with a dragon robe and a treasured sword. From the beginning, Xi Liang intended to let them know about his existence.
Yo (要) was time.
In the case of an influential faction that dominates a region, it takes between one and a half days on average to identify a particular trend within the region.
They approached themselves much faster than the average. Even if the day was standing still because of the work in Honam, it was fast.
‘He has better intelligence than any other sect in the world. At least within their territory.’
Usually, in the case of the upper ranks, information power is inevitably better than that of many Moorim clans. This is because information is directly related to livelihood.
Hoildo’s face hardened.
“It’s fine no matter what you think…”
“There are hundreds of ways to make you take me to the upper house lord.”
It was a random word. Ho Yi Do was angry at Xu Liang for interrupting him this time, but he could not ignore his words again.
Said with a smile.
“But I don’t want to use those methods. It’s because if you do, your life that you use any method will be smashed. I do not want to see the blood of those who are not hostile to me.”
It was an unexpected word.
This, too, was a statement that was different from what people thought of the Demonic Cultist. It was because there was a stereotype that a Demonic Cult Master would not be afraid to see blood, but would rather like it.
Although Xu Liang went to Zhongyuan and changed the impression of the Heavenly Demon Goddess, people still thought of the Demonic Cultist as a demon. It could be seen as an unavoidable part.
“So go back and tell them.”
“⋯⋯”
“If Sanghoeju doesn’t come here by dawn tomorrow morning, I will destroy Gangseoseong.”
The already quiet atmosphere in Juru quickly cooled.
“I say it again. If the head of the Gangseo store doesn’t come to me by dawn tomorrow morning, I will turn the entire Gangseo city into a sea of fire.
Hoyle’s eyes twitched.
“Even a joke…”
puck!
“Ouch!”
For a moment, Hoildo’s body was dangling in the air.
Surprisingly, Xu Liang did not use his hands directly. I just glared at him, but Ho Il-do floated up in the air on his own and grabbed his neck.
Chaaaaang!
The remaining three thieves drew their swords in unison. But it was just an instinctive response. They knew all too well that they could not inflict a single scratch on the body of their opponent.
Seo Liang tilted his head with his hands behind his back.
“joke?”
“Knock!”
“Do you think I came all the way to Jiangxi just to joke?”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
Kakakang!
The swords of the three thieves were broken.
Only one person, Yeo Geuk-do, saw how he broke the sword. It was such a rapid movement that even Yeogeukdo felt a moment of apprehension.
‘Jigong (指功)? Awesome!’
dump!
“Cuck! Huh! Huh!”
Hoildo, who had fallen to the floor, clutched his neck and gasped.
Xi Liang looked down at him. Now people don’t get the impression of being easygoing from him.
“If you want to confirm that the Heavenly Demon isn’t lying, try hiding somewhere.”
Seo Liang turned around.
flutter!

The old-fashioned long cloth was reflected in Ho Il-do’s eyes.
In an instant, his eyes widened.
‘Heaven?!’
On the back of the majestic red dragon robe, the Chinese character for Heaven was written in magnificent strokes.
It’s not a demon, it’s a heavenly cloth. Not many people knew what it meant.
If you are a religious leader, you wear a dragon robe with the word “Ma” written on it. However, if you go beyond the leader and receive the title of Heavenly Demon, you will wear a yongpo with the word Heaven engraved on it.
Thousands of Heaven in Yongpo.
From the point of view of the empire, it is truly a traitor among traitors. However, hundreds of years ago, even when the power of the imperial palace was strong, they could not impose any sanctions on the Heavenly Demon.
Because the Heavenly Horse is a symbol of invincibility.
I couldn’t touch it because it was the height of the outside world, boasting an invincible majesty that could destroy an army of the empire alone. And it was the same even now.
Woo woo woo!
The clothing of the religious leader, which was completed by adding the thread of the Yin-Yang Cheonjam (陰陽天蠶), which is said to be the most mysterious in the world, and the unique technique of the Cheonma Shinkyo, was a boui (寶衣) that displayed mystical abilities in itself.
The notation of sword swordsmanship and fire acupuncture. A divine object that symbolizes the master of magic.
A letter engraved on the Mahuangboui (魔皇寶衣) received the reigning Mawanggi and emitted a splendid light.
“Go. When we meet again, I won’t let you all live.”

“what?”
Namgoong-eon’s face was clearly hardened.
“Are you going to destroy Jiangxi?”
“That’s right. It doesn’t seem like a lie, considering that he even said that he would turn it into a sea of fire.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Are you old?”
Yoo In-gang, the head of the Yu family, a branch of Namgung and a well-known merchant family in Gangseo, sighed inwardly.
‘The elder is the one who withdrew from active duty. I shouldn’t be asking for something like this.’
The Yu family was as famous for its martial arts as it was for its commerce. At least in one area, he reached the level of a first-class samurai family.
However, I did not dare to compare it with Cheonma Shinkyo. In other words, even if you send only one unit of the Heavenly Demon Church, the Yu family will not be able to avoid being annihilated.
Not to mention, the Demonic Master, who is said to be the strongest in magic, is in Gangseoseong, so I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“First of all, I wonder if the demonic master will really do that.”
“It’s about attracting.”
“yes?”
Namgoong-eon’s hardened face softened slightly, as if he had regained his composure. She was not without seriousness, of course.
“To take a somewhat snobbish approach, the best value for a Murim person is reputation. Then, what is the best value for a merchant?”
“A merchant’s best value….”
Yoo In-gang’s eyes twinkled.
“Credit.”
“Yes. And that credit comes from hearsay. At that time, the Heavenly Demon sang Sanghoeju in front of everyone. If Sanghoju doesn’t show up by tomorrow, he’s sure to take a huge hit on his future business.”
“okay.”
“In other words, whether Sanghoju likes it or not, he must come out to meet the Heavenly Demon. If he still wants to walk the merchant’s path.”
But the way is too rough.
Besides, a person of the level of the Heavenly Horse would not utter words that he could not keep. Even for the eyes of others, you must keep your promise.
In other words, if Sanghoju really does not appear, the Heavenly Demon will turn Jiangxi into a sea of fire. I have no choice but to do that.
Namgoong Eon stood up from his seat.
“Hey, do you know anyone among the heads of Gangseo Trading Company?”
“Yes? Oh, yes! There are a few of them. If you want to do business in Jiangxi, you can’t get to know the merchants of Jiangsu.”
“If you do, contact the highest person you know. The Sword King is the best.”
“omg! yes! All right!”
“How long do you think it will take?”
“The communication can be sent right away. However, it will take some time for an answer to come from that side.”
Namgungeon looked at the window.
Looking at the sun, it was about the end of New Year’s Eve. It was tight, but there was still time.
“I’ll be out for a while. I’ll be back soon, so try to get in touch as soon as possible.”
The place Namgoong-eon visited was Hoyeonru.
Hoyeonru, which should have been buzzing with guests who had just arrived for dinner, was unfortunately empty.
‘Is that right?’
There is a Heavenly Demon on the top floor of Hoyeonru. Although the impression of the Heavenly Demonic Religion has been greatly damaged, it is still a subject of fear to people.
Not to mention, since he even said that he would make a sea of fire, there was no way guests would come to this place.
Namgoong-eon strode up the stairs.
The hostess, the hostess, and the fortune tellers also noticed Namgung-eon. Anyone could see that he was terrified.
The more I read their faces and read their emotions, the more Namgung-eon’s expression hardened little by little.
Eventually he reached the top floor.
“Are you here?”
“Yes.”
On the top floor, Xi Liang and Yeo Geuk Do were sharing a drink.
Xu Liang shook his head after passing the drink coolly.
“Senior Sword King shouldn’t have come here.”
“Why not?”
“I’m sure you don’t know.”
Namgungeon is a great swordsman called the Sword King. Not only the Murim people, but also the common people, Namgung-eon’s martial arts and martial arts were well known.
Then he climbed to the place where the Heavenly Demon was. Probably, many people were already watching this place.
And there was a mixture of anticipation and worry in his gaze. There was an expectation that if he was the Sword King, he would do something about it, and he was worried that he would be defeated by the Heavenly Demon.
No matter what, if Namgung-eon quietly withdraws like this, people will damage his reputation. People who were a bit radical could make a fuss about being scared by the Heavenly Demon.
Namgoong Eon said coldly.
“I’ve never cared for anyone’s opinion in my whole life, at least not when it comes to my reputation.”
“exactly?”
“I am just a man who does what his heart tells him to do. like you.”
Seo Liang smiled bitterly.
“A horse with bones.”
“I’ll ask straight forward.”
Namgungeon’s eyes flashed.
“If Sanghoeju doesn’t come, are you really going to turn Gangseo into a sea of fire?”
Shi Liang answered without hesitation.
“Of course.”
