Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 140



Only Noblemtl

140. The Battle of Jeongma (2)

Be busy.

“Hurry up and upload the information. What are you doing? You’re crazy!”

“Gwangju! Quickly hand over the Gwangju branch manager’s documents!”

“Even if the subjugation of the Blue-Eyed Demon was just a superficial mission, it should have been successful! What on earth is the Blue Dragon Five-Shot Group doing!”

It was a place where such words were appropriate. Twenty red-clad men sat half-way across from each other, and they were constantly stirring their brushes on their desks, while the piles of papers on their desks, which reached up to their foreheads, never disappeared.

The members of the main group were busy carrying around documents and reports that had already been processed. Those who disappeared somewhere and then returned again had new documents in their hands.

In front of those twenty people, at the very front of the huge room, there was a huge, yellow desk that was different from the others.

The papers on the desk of the man sitting by the window, the only one receiving sunlight, also did not disappear. The amount of papers on that desk was similar to those of the twenty people below, but the weight was different.

Because only the things that were created by synthesizing all of those things were placed here.

Prince, Heavenly Man, Hwangryongmunju. He continued to read the reports without saying a word. He was blankly looking through the documents and stamping his seal, but at one report, he stopped moving altogether.

Second, Namgung Myeoljok – Failure.

-Yeomcheonseong Yongun Sal (殺) – Fire (不)

– Namgung Seoho’s murder – Not

– Poisonous Witch, Vampiric Witch Intervention

-Baekhodangju Juhwaipma, in critical condition

“You failed…?”

The air in the room froze at the prince’s muttering. A year had passed since the Hwangryongmun’s rise. There had been countless missions, countless operations.

Of course, there were missions that failed, but such words never came out of the prince’s mouth.

A true man of heaven. The prince, who constantly synthesizes all information and makes big, bold decisions, has personally designed several missions, and none of them have failed so far.

Although the room was momentarily stiff, the twenty members of the Zhu Zhuang Party who shared the same office as the Crown Prince were the best strategists of the Hwangryongmun, personally selected by the Crown Prince. Their brushes began to move actively once again.

“What are you doing! Don’t hit me!”

The prince read the report carefully. When he learned that Ma-hyeop and Yeom-cheon-seong were the same person, he considered all possibilities.

The sudden movement of the reclusive poisonous witch, contact with Pocheonbang and Yeomcheonseong.

The medical skills of Yeom Cheon-seong, relying on the black ghost – the link to the magic doctor. The magic doctor and the poisonous witch… The possibility that the poisonous witch is accompanying Yeom Cheon-seong cannot be ruled out.

I thought the possibility was obviously slim. Nevertheless, I did not ignore it.

That is why I sent the three Cheoninhapil. One of them was the General, Changjon. It was a decision made after considering the realms of the Gwanghyeolgeomju and the Poisonous Blood Witch.

“What a… strange man.”

The prince muttered. Namgung Seoho’s death was inevitable. There was also a high probability that Yeom Cheonseong would not accept the proposal, so he expected his death.

I failed. How many times has this failed?

Third. It was the third failure in the prince’s life.

First, sixteen years ago. The prince could see his brother’s incompetence through his failure.

Second, a year ago. Yongbong Branch.

And now, the third…

There is one person involved in the two failures. No, it’s not just that they are involved. It was he who was at the center of the sabotage.

“Yongun…”

The meeting with him was still vivid in the prince’s memory. Was there anyone in this world who could say such things to him?

The presence grew larger and more distinct. Half a millennium passed when the prince’s hands, which had been continuously destroying documents, stopped.

“Unfair owner.”

“yep!”

“Yongun, Ma-ui. Send me all the information about the two of you.”

The delivery was indeed quick. Another huge stack of documents. The prince, who had scanned all of them, clicked his tongue.

“Brother, you’re bothering me again.”

**

The rest of the process of taking Namgung Seoho was peaceful. There were some lustful men and bandits along the way who came to admire the beauty of Dang Hye and the Hapjeong Witch, but it was peaceful.

The gaze of the Gwanghyeolgeomju was sharp. No, it was a strange gaze, but it was clear that since last time, he had been looking at Yongwoon and Danghye with strange eyes.

I understood. After that, Dang-hye never left Yong-un’s side even for a single moment.

“The Poison Witch, that…”

“what.”

“…No.”

The swordsman with a sharp mind closed his mouth. “This could happen…” he muttered.

[Is it going to stay like this?]

Dang-hye looked at Yong-un as if she was asking an obvious question. After Yong-un declared that he was a demon, Dang-hye’s eyes were not like hers before, but

[If this continues, you will misunderstand that I am in love with your ex-lover’s disciple-]

“Huh, do you really think I care about those guys?”

Her firm attitude was clearly revealed in her actions. For some reason, the vampire witch looked at the poisonous witch with envious eyes, but it was inexplicable.

As they reached Guangdong, a black figure emerged from the distance and landed in front of the five.

‘I’ve never seen a landing technique where you kneel on one knee.’

Chuck. The man covered in black, who handed over the letter without saying anything, was the messenger of Haomun. The Chinese character drawn on the cover of the letter that the Gwanghyeolgeomju picked up was the word “evil”.

The Gwanghyeol Sword Master, who had been silently reading the scroll, handed it over to Yongwoon.

“I think it’s for you.”

Yongwoon read the letter and furrowed his brows. The contents of the letter were a very detailed story about the Battle of Jeongma.

Because he couldn’t believe it, Yongwoon muttered to himself.

“The political party… is losing?”

Yongwoon’s eyes widened as he read the contents of all the books.

Volcano faction, three deaths.

**

The twelve signs of the Demonic Cult have not changed except for their numbers.

At the time of the founding of the Cheonmasingyo, there were six corners that were transformed from single sects that abandoned the existing powerful forces, such as the Eumhyeolgak and the Vampire Demon Spirits, into a single corner. There were also those like the Mayeonggak (魔影閣), which were created purely to run the large group called the Demonic Cult, and two corners that had religious functions, but the names of these corners changed a few times.

What has changed is that three of them, who were once separate factions, have disappeared. After the disappearance of Cheonma, the three factions, or rather, the factions, have disappeared in the darkness of the Demonic Cult that waged a silent war in the great isolation of Cheonsan.

There were two sects that filled that hall. The newly created hall in the Cheonmasingyo was the Shinbalgak (神罰閣), and it took the lead in the Jeongma War.

A gathering of madmen from the true Demonic Cult, who do not belong to any particular sect. A gathering created solely for the purpose of killing and fighting, it revealed itself in Cheonghae and clashed with the Hwasan faction, which was at the forefront of the orthodox sect.

The result was an overwhelming defeat for the Volcano faction. Two of the elders were killed and three were left in critical condition, unable to fight, leaving three-tenths dead.

The Hwasan faction had to quickly give up one of the Cheonghae territories they had been protecting.

There are seventeen bu (府) located in the huge castle called Cheonghae. The Hwasan faction had to flee, giving up their bu.

The defeat of the Hwasan faction was truly shocking, because the perception of the Jeongpa faction at the time was that no matter what angle of the Demonic Cult came, they were no match for the Jeongpa faction’s main sects.

Even though they were formed by the alliance of the sects, the major sects acted on their own. There was an excuse that each sect had its own unique formation, but fundamentally, the original sects were groups that sought to pursue a single interest and were reluctant to ask others for cooperation.

Such arrogance and carelessness resulted in the Hwasanpa’s defeat, and in three subsequent battles.

Anhui Guangjia, extinction.

Hyunam Jin-in died. Red-eyed monster.

The head of the Jongnam faction dies. Bloody Heavenly Horse.

Dang-hye furrowed her brows.

Sacheondangga Pohyeonbu’s defeat. The head of the household is fatally wounded, and the blood-sucking demon lord.

“Red-Eyed Monster, Bloodsucking Demon Lord, these are all nicknames I’ve never heard of before. The sudden influx of mysterious magic masters… Where did they come from?”

When the Jeongpa Alliance came to their senses and began to properly gather their strength, one of the seventeen divisions of Cheonghae had already fallen into the hands of the Demonic Cult, so it was inevitable that there would be an emergency.

“From now on, it’s going to be one of two things.”

The Gwanghyeolgeomju spoke calmly.

“Either the Jeongpa Alliance backs down and sharpens the sword of revenge, or puts their lives on the line for the mission.”

Yongwoon didn’t know whether he should be relieved that Nam Gyu-rin wasn’t dead or distraught that the Hwasan faction had suffered such fatal damage.

Still, one thing we can know is this.

“I will go to Cheonghae right now. Quickly.”

“They won’t welcome you.”

“I know.”

They use magic. Even if they are called “Kyop” (俠), if they add “Ma” (魔) in front of them, Yongwoon becomes part of the same group as those they want to kill. For a thousand years, the world of martial arts has been like that.

There, Yong-un had no choice but to become a traitor and a spy, whether he was a member of the Sapa or the Demonic Cult, and in the end, he ended up only deceiving the Jeongpa. After all, he was also a disciple of Kwon-Jun.

“So you still want to go?”

“The only reason I have continued to wear different masks is to survive.”

Yongwoon said indifferently.

“If we cared about the empty reputation of affiliation, neither Yeomcheonseong nor Mahyeop would have existed.”

No, Yongwoon would not have existed. Ma-ui would not have died in such a futile power play.

“What if even you become hostile?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

There is no need to hide anymore. Kangho is a place that returns to the logic of power.

“There is no need for permission from the sect to eradicate the demonic cult.”

There was a murderous look in Yongwoon’s eyes.

It was time to go for revenge.

**

A few more days passed. The situation in the Jeongma War became increasingly bleak. Despite their best efforts, the Jeongpa lost another wealth, and for the first time, one of the Cheoninhapil died.

Taemyeong Jinin (太明眞人). He started out as a lay disciple of the Cheongseongpa and rose to the position of Jangmunin due to his outstanding swordsmanship. However, he was pierced through the chest by the Blood Heavenly Demon and died.

The death of Taemyungjinin brought great shock to the Jeongpa Alliance. First of all,

The Blood Heavenly Horse personally launched a surprise attack on the Cheongryunbu, which was occupied by the Jeongpa Alliance’s Hobeopdang, along with the Taemyeongjinin’s Cheongseongpa.

Amazingly, the Demonic Cult had never used any surprise attacks until then. They had only won a major victory in the early stages through simultaneous battles and had a purely contest of strength with the Righteous Cult, so the Righteous Cult was wide-eyed and ruled out such a possibility.

The exclusion was created because he was not careful. When the Heavenly Demon’s Mine requested a duel, Taemyeong Jinin agreed, and behind him, the Blood Heavenly Demon attacked Taemyeong Jinin.

Cheonma challenged the greatest of the time to one-on-many fights. Her successor, Blood Heavenly Horse, already had a precedent of joining hands with Plum Blossom Sword.

Plum Blossom Sword, who had one finger cut off, said this at the meeting of the Jeongpa Alliance.

The eight arms of the Heavenly Horse.

The demonic cult’s supreme leader, who had risked his life to defeat the three highest cult leaders, made an ambush. While criticizing him as evil and treacherous – the cult could not help but groan at the birth of such a being.

Also, in the end, it was a unification of heaven and man. That such a being died, that the great sect called Cheongseongpa lost its center, and during the meeting of the Jeongpa Alliance, someone mentioned the word ceasefire.

Although he was immediately ignored by the angry Feng Kai… the words that had already left his mouth flowed into his ears.

The current situation is one where the political momentum is gradually decreasing.

Kkaaaaaaah-

“Hold on a little longer! Reinforcements are coming!”

In the bloody battlefield, the plum blossom swordsman shouted. All those who embroidered the formation centered around her were those who had plum blossoms drawn on their uniforms.

There was not a single one in good condition. Their white uniforms were covered in blood, ashes, and dirt, and the bandages on their heads had already served their purpose and turned into rags.

He was covered in wounds.

“shit…!”

Nam Gyu-rin looked in front of me with wavering eyes. Those who were emitting magic energy were approaching me with mad smiles.

It was a crisis of extinction.
