Chronicles of the Demon Faction Chapter 116

Episode 116. Crushing Shell (6)

Hong Kuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

She spoke in a calm tone.

“Hong Wi-moon, a devotee of the Protestant religion, was involved in numerous corruptions on campus. The reason why those corruptions were able to be buried is because he was the leader’s disciple, that is, a candidate for the succession of the main school.”

widely.

The sound of the teacup being placed on the floor was particularly loud.

“But things are different now. Now that his condition has worsened and he is unconscious, Hong Yu-wen has lost his qualifications as a candidate for succession.”

“… … You lost your qualifications?”

“Didn’t you see it during Pasun Festival? It is a situation in which poisonous crystals in the body are broken and the poison has penetrated not only the intestines but also the bone marrow. It was judged that they could not use their hands even in the blood soul, which was said to have gathered the best members of the Mado Murim.”

Seo Liang smiled.

It was a laugh that evoked strange horror in the viewer.

“This is a personal curiosity, but why didn’t you call him into the family? Although he is a member of the lord’s household, he knows better about the magical arts and dictatorship that Hong Wi-mun has learned, so it would have been worth giving him a request at least once.”

“… … .”

“Well, that part is done. The important thing is that Hong Wi-mun is no longer recognized as a successor candidate.”

No matter how useless the child is, the man who destroyed the child is speaking so shamelessly. It was a situation where anyone had no choice but to become angry.

“So, you’re saying you’re going to bury my son’s sins in the family?”

“If you were going to hold the family guilty, the head of the criminal court would have come instead of me, right?”

Hong Kuan narrowed his eyes.

“Criminal law master? No matter how much I am the head of the Criminal Law, do you think you can do anything about me as the head of a family?”

“Would you like to digress? Don’t obscure the subject with unnecessary words… … I would like to say that.”

bubbling.

The cold tea water in the teacup that Xiliang set down slowly rose to a boil.

The eyes of everyone who saw it widened. It was amazing just to show the skills of Heo Gong-seop at that age, but making tea boil without touching it?

Making only tea water boil through the skin touching the floor was an art that was several times more difficult than that of Heo Gong-seop water. Those who learned magic arts that focused on destruction and diffusion rather than delicacy were realizations that could not be easily demonstrated.

Extremely unique ability to tune. Even Hong Kuan couldn’t help but be surprised this time.

“Why do you think the head of the criminal law can’t do anything about the family head?”

“what?”

“Do you think the head of state does not belong to the Protestant Church?”

“… … ?!”

“You said it strangely earlier, but if you forgot, let me remind you once again.”

Hoo-wook.

The chilly, hardened atmosphere turned into dangerous heat.

“Not just the Jeoksaga, but all of the Seven Magicians are groups affiliated with the Heavenly Demon Church. In other words, it can be seen as a branch under the Protestant Church.”

“… … .”

“Is this something that Protestantism and Homecoming have agreed on for hundreds of years? No pun intended. It wasn’t an agreement, it was generosity and respect. You shouldn’t misunderstand that just because your place of residence is different.”

Hororok.

After taking a leisurely sip of tea, Xu Liang’s words shook everyone’s ears.

“This is not the rightist Murim, but the sorcerer Murim. If it was an opponent who needed an agreement, he would not have come to the inspection in the first place.”

Hong Guan’s face, which had been distorted, had changed into an expressionless expression before he knew it. He seemed to have regained his composure, but the nape of his neck was visibly red.

Seo Liang, who put the teacup aside, said with a serious face.

“I say it again. As written in the letter, the target of my inspection is ‘all’ departments of Jeoksaga. The reason for expanding the scope of inspection this time is also related to the corruption of Hong Wi-moon, the eldest son of your family, so please cooperate smoothly.”

It was a neat finish.

Wi Hong-ryun, who was watching him from behind, couldn’t hide his surprise.

‘He speaks very well.’

Likewise, Ma Dong-pil was also surprised.

‘… … not good.’

Before discussing the principles, you need to know how dangerous this place is. They may not be able to do anything about the inspectorate, but isn’t this one of the seven magical houses?

Ma Dong-pil was nervous inside. If they did, the situation could have deteriorated rapidly.

An instant moment.

“… … Right.”

Hong Guan tried to speak calmly.

“The inspector is right. The head family is an organization derived from the Heavenly Demon Church, and has been working hard for the Church for hundreds of years.”

The audience was surprised. He didn’t know that Hong Kuan would readily accept Xiliang’s words.

“However, it is also clear that Shinkyo and the head family have made an ‘agreement’. The inspector said magnanimity and respect, but didn’t he acknowledge some of the independence of the head family?”

“I implicitly say yes.”

“exactly. Hani, I will try to contact my Protestant headquarters once again. It may take some time, but I hope you will consider the situation of the head family.”

It was meant to resolve the situation peacefully. Indeed, it was a flexible response worthy of the head of a family.

But this time, the opponent was not too easy.

“Do you know why the headmaster sent me to this job, and not a middle-aged mage with years of experience?”

“… … ?”

“I killed the eldest son on the way home in the name of a succession fight. The reason is that he tried to kill me first.”

Xi Liang didn’t smile anymore.

His eyes, looking directly at Hong Kuan, were cold.

“You see? The reason why you sent me, especially the enemy commander, as the first priority is to conduct this inspection aggressively.”

“… … !”

“Upper Lord.”

Yu Hong-ryun took a step forward and lowered his head.

“Did you call?”

“Repeat what you said in front of Lee Ga-joo earlier. The things we discussed about the behavior of those who were subject to surveillance.”

As if he had prepared in advance, Wi Hong-ryeon’s answer was immediate.

“Organizations under inspection often exhibit rather risky behavior when judged improper. If you die like this or die like that, if you die in the end, it must be your intention to try desperately.”

“so?”

“When it comes to inspections, the top priority is to prevent any unforeseen situations by handling the work as quickly as possible.”

Xi Liang didn’t open his mouth any more. He just watched Hong Kuan with fierce eyes.

Hong Kuan could no longer hide his feelings. Seeing her blushing face, I felt like I was going to explode at any moment.

“Do I really have to set the day that way?”

“What did you expect? Did you try to trick the young inspector with your three tongues and sneak past them?”

“this… … !”

I couldn’t hold back my anger for a moment and almost spit out swear words.

At that time, Zhang Wuhui, who was standing behind Hong Guan, spoke in a dull voice.

“Even the inspector is harsh with his words.”

Xu Liang’s eyes glanced at Zhang Wuhui.

Jang Woo-hwi spoke in a calm tone.

“As the head of the family said, the head family is definitely affiliated with the Heavenly Demon Church. Hana, the head of the family, no one other than the head of the family can do anything… … .”

Crisp!

Jang Woo-hui’s face turned pale with a sharp rupture.

And that wasn’t all. Everyone in the audience was startled by the sudden situation. Before I knew it, the teacup in front of Seoryang was smashed by a pillar of the pavilion next to Jang Woo-hui.

shiver.

Blood flowed down Jang Woo-hui’s face, which had been cut by a sharp piece of teacup that had bounced off.

Seo Liang said calmly.

“This seat is like a private meeting between me, the inspector, and the head of the family, the representative of the Jeoksaga. This is not the place for an unrelated third party to babble.”

“… … .”

“Forgiveness comes only once. If the advice is ignored, the inspector will dispose of it at the discretion of the inspector. Don’t open your mouth to anyone unless me and the patriarch demand an answer.”

The atmosphere, which had heated up just before an explosion, became cold again like a cave in the North Sea.

His ability to control the atmosphere is unmatched. It doesn’t calm down and presses harder, creating an atmosphere of fear, so no one can express their dissatisfaction.

Hong Kuan’s eyes twitched.

‘this guy… … .’

The anger reached its peak, but the surprise was as great as the anger.

It’s like having a conversation with a politician who is full of experience who has gone through all kinds of prenatal battles. I looked down on him for being young, but he hasn’t been able to regain the initiative from start to finish.

“A stern person interrupted the conversation. But I also don’t think further conversation is necessary.”

“… … .”

“I will check all the documents here and now. As of the present time, please order the heads of each department to collect the books that have been entered over the past three years.”

Seo Liang glanced up at the sky.

On a moonlit night, scattered cloud fragments were slowly moving.

“I will give you a break. Any department that fails to bring a ledger into it will be declared non-conforming.”

Please bring the department’s three-year ledger in this space. Considering the size of Jeoksaga and the work situation, it was a tight time.

In other words, the possibility of any unintended trick was sealed off. Even if he had prepared a false ledger in advance with the inspection in mind, it seemed that he would somehow find corruption by comparing each item with the goods.

Hong Guan, who was staring at Xiliang, said in a calm voice.

“Tell the heads of each department. Bring three years’ worth of ledger here. Tell them to bring it to the inside.”

Sasasak.

More than half of the demons sitting on the left and right rushed out. Feeling that the situation was not serious, I had no choice but to move quickly.

Wi Hong-ryeon couldn’t help but admire Xu Liang’s quick and intense work. He literally drove like crazy, and he knew it, but he seemed to have no choice but to be defeated.

‘I didn’t go around the department one by one. Knowing that when you’re flipping through one department, the other departments have free time.’

Again, it’s great.

‘Where did this man get such experience?’

In fact, he had excellent experience in martial arts and murder, but he had no experience in this kind of work.

What he showed now was just copying what the Uicheon Lord showed in public affairs. Of course, just because they know it, not everyone will be able to digest it as naturally as Seo Liang.

Oddly enough, Xi Liang was proving his worth with the ability he learned from the target he hated the most.

‘hmm.’

The time when each person was soaked in thoughts.

Shih Liang felt a little uneasy.

‘Is it easier than I thought?’

Hong Kuan’s eyes were full of anger.

But why? A hint of elation and ridicule seemed to be reflected in the emotion of anger. I was surprised by the other person, but didn’t seem too embarrassed.

‘There seems to be something.’

In the presence of his subordinates, he was disgraced, not disgraced. Still, don’t lose your composure.

‘what?’

suspicious

Bringing a new teacup to Heo Gong Sub, Xi Liang opened the Chun La Yu Tong Ceremony without anyone noticing.

Woo woo woo.

Giseong (奇聲) that no one can hear, only the ears of Seo-ryang.

The solar eclipse of the Heavenly Six Tongsik (天羅六通式) Super Shinkan (Super Shinkan) has been activated for the first time in a long time. The incomparable best magic power and powerful demonic spirit, the super priest, stood sharper than ever.

Seo Liang closed her eyes.

‘The sound, the smell, the feel of the air… … .’

It took a short time to get used to the rapidly becoming sensitive five senses.

As the five senses revived, the senses amplified, and the amplified senses activated the unique sixth sense.

Geeing!!

Xi Liang’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

The nape of my neck felt sore from the momentary warning from my supersensory senses. It must have been because of the superfuze, but he had never been warned so intensely.

‘also… … .’

I don’t know. What exactly is the danger of this warning?

At that time, Hong Yeo-rin, who was sitting at the end of the row on the left, opened her mouth.

“Aren’t you in trouble?”

“… … .”

“If you go through not one year’s worth, but three years’ worth of ledgers, nothing good will happen to you, right?”

In the books for three years, there is also the amount of money from the department Hong Yeo-rin stole. You, who received her elixir with her help and ate it, seemed to be fine.

Normally, he would have fired properly, but Xiliang did not answer. There was no such bird.

The warnings given by the extra senses were intensifying as time passed.

“this… … .”

Hong Yeo-rin’s face turned red. She thought she was openly ignored.

At that time, Hong Kuan spoke.

“It must be difficult to just wait silently during this phase. I’d like to have a drink or something.”

“… … .”

“You don’t seem to want to drink.”

“… … .”

“You can do it. Oh, and there’s one thing I didn’t tell you beforehand.”

Squeak.

Hong Kuan took off his shirt. Uncharacteristic of an old man, his bulging muscles showed up.

“Because it is a body that needs to be treated day by day due to overexertion during training. I’ll call the dedicated congressman and take a nap. I ask for your understanding.”

Still, Xi Liang did not answer. The closed eyes were still there.

Hong Guan shouted in a mixed voice.

“Commander Bang, please come here.”

A voice so violent that the air shook.

The old man’s face trembled slightly. It was because it seemed that her hearing was about to fall off because of the senses that had been heightened by the super fuse.

‘Damn old man. Whether you spit or f*ck, you know… … .’

It was then.

‘uh?’

Seo Liang opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, his expression was blank.

Sabakin, Sabakin.

Step by step, step by step, carefully moving.

‘This energy… … ?’

It is a perfectly captured energy. If he hadn’t mastered the magic arts, he was so secretive that he wouldn’t have felt it easily even if he opened the Chunra Yuktongsik to the extreme.

But why? I think I felt this energy once. And that too, in a place entangled with a very terrible evil.

After a while, a woman appeared.

The rich off-white color and curvaceous body attract men’s attention. It was an off-white color that is hard to find anywhere in the world.

“Did you call, Head of the House?”

“Hmm, I’m starting to get a bit tired. Please let me sleep.”

Hong Kuan closed his eyes. However, if a master with a good eye sees it, he will be able to tell that his lips are quivering slightly.

It was transmission. And the target of the transmission was a woman named Congressman Bang.

The woman smiled broadly. When she laughed, her whole world seemed to light up.

“All right. Thank you for your understanding… … hmm?”

Hong Kuan opened his eyes again.

“… … .”

“haha! It seems that our inspectorate was surprised by Assemblyman Bang’s pale appearance.”

It was a sarcastic comment on Xu Liang, who stared blankly at a woman.

However, Xi Liang did not respond.

To be precise, only his consciousness was not responding, but his unconscious was fully responding.

Chii profit!

“… … !”

The faces of everyone gathered in the pavilion turned pale.

Roaring!

After the death that happened like a pure white haze, the more vicious demonic energy than ever burned like a flame.

Sabak.

Seo-ryang stood up from his seat.

he finally realized

What my super senses were warning me about, and why I was in such a bad mood when I left the Heavenly Demon Church.

And I could see why he thought he was dangerous.

‘I see.’

Seo-ryang contemplates himself transparently even in the midst of an ever-increasing murderous life.

‘It wasn’t that I couldn’t join the Heavenly Demon Church.’

The reason why I couldn’t make a proper decision until now, the reason why I repeated mistakes several times even with a transcendent sense and a clear brain.

The shell, which I did not recognize, was broken little by little.

‘I didn’t want to go out.’

If it was his ability, he could escape the Heavenly Demonic Church at any time if he put his mind to it. After completing Kuyumagong, he built up a strength that could not be held back by the system and fear.

Still, he didn’t go out. Rather, he was delighted that the religious leader had given the order to go out.

Even with the ability to get out, even with that good momentum, it was waiting for its prey to drop.

why?

‘My dream, the true freedom I want… … .’

Kurrureung!

An unusual omen.

Soon, the guyumagong was heated to the extreme.

Flash! Kwaaang!

The railings of the pavilion were smashed and scattered as if hit by a cannonball, and the huge roof flew away with the momentum to rise to the end of the sky.

“What, what?!”

“this!”

Pussss.

through the thick dust.

A pair of red eyes fixed on the doctor Bang, Bang Ryeong (芳零).

“you.”

Bangryung, who had barely managed to keep his balance at the sudden explosion of magic, had a strong evil spirit in his eyes.

“King Biyo, what’s your relationship with that dog-like bitch?”

In an instant, the countenance’s complexion hardened.

Sasasak.

In the dust that slowly cleared, Seo Liang’s face, distorted like a demon, was revealed.

“… … Okay, I’ll try to listen to it after I kneel for four years.”

Hong Guan shouted.

“What are you doing!”

“shut up!”

Kwaaang!

Seo Liang rushed towards Bang Ryeong at a terrifying speed.

The true freedom I longed for was hidden behind an unresolved resentment.

The reason I didn’t go out is because I couldn’t kill them all by myself.

Righteous, iron-blooded.

Because you can’t taste true freedom without killing all the people who were involved in my death.

Flash!

The killing methods of the Jecheongi poured out like showers.
