Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 72



Only Noblemtl

The position of the best in the world is difficult. It goes without saying for unmanned people, and it is no different for members of the National Assembly.

Today was the twelfth day since new mines were continuously thrown all over Hanam. The Jeongpa Alliance did not stop the hero who was catching the ‘mine’, and now the Dharma Guardians who found the mine seemed familiar with it and took it to the owner of the party, Seon-ui.

One of the Dharma Guardians made a pale expression as he looked at the mine being carried on a cheap stretcher.

“Ugh… It really looks horrible. The magic smell is really disgusting too. Did you figure out who it is this time?”

“No. After a few days, I couldn’t find anything but the ragtag bunch of minions. This guy is not the only one with the outer mirror either.”

“Really, I want to learn that Black Ghost’s ability to find magic. How does he find these rat bastards?”

“Shut up and move quickly. The gaze is already this intense.”

A single, black, skinny human being, covered by a stretcher and a large bundle.

The noise was inevitable. The Mengjian sect rented a pavilion at the end of Hanam and hid there for two days because they did not want to let any more people into the Jeongpa Alliance. While the Dharma Guardians came and went from the pavilion, many people, including the members of the National Assembly, discussed the Mengjian sect and the Black Ghost.

“Isn’t it natural that it can’t be solved?”

Most people said so. It was true that the Meng Dogs were called the Good, but there were those who were deeply involved in the political party and those who were close to the members of the National Assembly who knew the true nature of the Meng Dogs.

The more you try to hide a person’s desires, the more they become visible. The countless karma that the Meng Jian Dan created by pushing away his fellow members was not gone, but was only waiting for the right time to shine even more sharply under the surface.

They were not very friendly to the Blind Dogs, so they took this opportunity to spread a lot of gossip about him.

“Today is the last day. If it had already been released, it would have been made public immediately and that black demon would have retreated. But has the Meng Dog Group ever come out of the palace?”

“Huh. It’s safe to stay in Jeongpa-maeng, so why did you come out to the pavilion at the end of Hanam? It must be because you’re confident. You’ve probably already taken care of everything. You should be preparing for an overseas trip.”

But there were those who said otherwise. The nickname “goodwill” did not come out of nowhere.

“In my opinion, that guy called Black Ghost is also a problem. If he’s the disciple of the devil, he should have stood up and won with his medical skills like his master did, so why does he play around by killing people?”

“Why would I do that to the one who killed my master? And since the Mengjian Sect was being stabbed, I wouldn’t have accepted it. I was afraid that he would kill me secretly.”

“Do you think the good Lord is some kind of black magician? How can you say such nonsense!”

“Huh! It’s just a shame I can’t tell you.”

“Both of you stop. By the way… Don’t you think there are a lot of unmanned people in Hanam again all of a sudden?”

“What kind of strange thing is that? What’s wrong with having so many unmanned people in Hanam?”

“That’s not it. I just keep seeing people I know who weren’t originally in Hanam… for example.”

The old man spoke, pointing to a man. A man with a grim expression, with a cross-eyed face and a sword on his back, was chatting with someone under the pavilion of the Mengjian Guard.

“That man is Jiunsan, the Clear Light Fire Sword. He is a swordsman who entered the Uihamcheonkyung, and as far as I know, he was saved by Seonui ten years ago.”

“What is a swordsman-”

“Those guys are the Shandong Five Heroes. They are such great masters that the War Heroes Association has requested their membership, but their leader received treatment for his injuries from Seon-ui five years ago. The leader is Gosun of Cheonyeongi-gyeong, and it seems he entered the temple alone.”

“…no way.”

“It’s one of two things. Either Seon-ui called, or he heard that Seon-ui was in danger and came himself.”

Certainly- After hearing the old man’s words and looking again, the martial arts skills of those loitering under the pavilion were indeed dazzling. The lowest one was Samhwachwijeong, and the highest one was Uihamcheonkyung.

That was the level of those loitering outside the palace.

One of the other merchants was muttering. He was sharing information about some of the people who had entered the palace.

“Baek-Rae-Jang (百雷掌) of the Seventy-Two Division of Cheon Yu-Bang… I heard that he is a ronin who takes on special requests even though he is a member of the Jeongpa faction, but I doubt he is either.”

The rumblings became more frequent. Seventy-two. Compared to the vampires, he may be insignificant, but it meant that he was among the hundred most powerful people in the martial arts world.

While the onlookers were chatting outside the pavilion, conversations were also continuing inside the pavilion.

The leader of the Shandong Five Swordsmen, the Demon Swordsman Wu Janghan, the White Thunder Swordsman Na Han Gong, and most of all, the leader of the Dharma Guardians, the Seomjeon Kwaigeom Sa Yuik. On the third and highest floor of the pavilion, they were treated to a sumptuous meal and sat together with the Meng Jian Sect.

In a meal that could be described as a feast of delicacies, the most ravenous thing was Baekroejang. He, a ronin pretending to be a virtuous person, was gorging himself on the food on the table.

The guardian deity quietly closed his eyes and ate the food in front of him, while the real magician looked at Baekryejang as if he was displeased.

The blind men just laughed at the sight of such a white lightning strike.

“Hahahaha! This is good! This! What is this dish?”

“Haha, I’m glad it suits your taste, Grandmaster Baekroejang. It’s a fish called Sambyeonmi-eo (三變味魚), and it’s a fish that can only be caught deep in the sea. I have another one, do you want it?”

“Haha! Your Majesty, you truly deserve that nickname! Of course I’ll eat another one!”

When the blind man smiled faintly and winked at the maid, the maid, as if she had been waiting, brought a new dish. When Baek-roe-jang smiled sinisterly at the pretty maid, Cham-ma-do-hyeop, who could no longer hold it in, put down his chopsticks with a loud thud.

“Please stop. How can you be so frivolous at a time when the Lord Seonui’s safety is so important?”

The reason why the True Magic Society was displeased with Baek-Rae-Jang was obvious. It was because they knew that Baek-Rae-Jang was nothing more than a disguised member of the sect. As a ronin, there were many requests for assassination and extermination.

It was a well-known fact that there were many evil rumors following Baek-roe-jang. Baek-roe-jang narrowed his eyes upon seeing the actions of the True Magic Association.

“You must have lost your touch, playing hero by taking your punks and catching rascals. Do you really think you have the power to say that to me?”

The eyes of the True Demon Lord also became fierce. Cheon Yu-bang’s ranking was higher than Baek Roe-jang’s. However, there was no reason for him to be ignored like this. He only tolerated it because Seon-ui-nim was in front of him in the first place.

Ddddd-

The table began to shake and the food began to tremble as the energy and the thoughts clashed. The liquids overflowed and just before the two of them were about to burst out,

“stop.”

All energy was put to sleep by the low, soft voice. A single suppression that showed the extreme difference even though they were both of the same Heavenly Spirits. As the Guardian of the Law spoke with energy, all of their thoughts disappeared.

Baek Roe-jang was inwardly shocked and sweating profusely. Was the difference really that great?

‘This is why I didn’t want to come to Hanam…’

As Baek Roe-jang tried to force a smile, the Guardian of the Law opened his eyes and said.

“My current duty is to protect the Lord. If you two, or anyone else, are found to be interfering with my duty, I will immediately expel you.”

The True Magical Alliance stood up and offered a prize to the Guardian Party Leader. The Guardian Party Leader was famous for being strict and discriminating between public and private matters within the Jeongpa Alliance. He readily accepted the Guardian Party Leader’s opinion.

“Your Majesty’s well-being is my top priority, too.”

As the Master of the Chammadou Society sat down and focused on eating, Baek Roe Jang could only nod and laugh.

‘One gold coin in seven days and nights, that’s enough to take the risk of coming to Hanam.’

In fact, Baek-roe-jang did not come to the Meng-gyeon-dan for the purpose of friendship or repaying their favor. It was purely a symbiotic relationship based on a contract. However, since there were many Cheon-yeong-i-gyeongs like him, he wanted to suppress the bastard of the Cham-ma-do-hyeop in order to organize the hierarchy.

‘Everything is as expected.’

The cold eyes beneath the smile on his face settled as Maeng Gyeon-dan thought. It didn’t matter whether it was Baek-Rae-Jang, Cham-Ma-Do-Hyeop, or Seom-Jeon-Kwai-Geom. All he had to do was buy time, buy time.

‘Until I can contact the ‘guy’.’

The vampire failed. But this guy is different. In the first place, as long as there are hostages, he cannot help but be desperate, unlike the vampire.

As time passes, interest naturally fades away. If he was able to storm into the palace alone, where numerous sect masters were stationed, along with the three Cheonyeongi Gyeong, he would have to be not a later index, but a united heaven and man, or at least a Cheonma.

If interest fades, it is only the guy who suffers. He cannot receive Shaolin protection forever. I am different. Even if the head of the Dharma Hall disappears due to work, I can hold on to Baek-roe-jang and the True Magic Swordsman forever.

Even if they left, it would be enough to fill the other Heavenly Mirrors, since they had a lot of money and status.

‘It’s a shame I can’t use Pengga…’

It had been over ten years since he had left Habuk, where Mt. Pyeongji was located, and stayed in Hanam, so he was not suspected of joining the Hwangryongmun, but it was not possible to call Pyeongga back to Hanam.

That was the most regrettable thing. Because Peng Ga was one of the most important cards that the Meng Jian Dan had.

‘It’s okay.’

There is no evidence. He may have had the brains to prepare for his own death, but he couldn’t stop the vampire from chasing him and destroying the evidence.

There was no way it could have been anything else. It was a huge challenge for the Mengjian Group to collude with the Magic Cult, so they were very thorough.

“Aren’t you going to see Mine?”

The Mengjian sect, which had a kind appearance but an evil smile on its face, turned its head. It was quite unusual for the silent guardian to look at him and ask him a question.

“Today is not the last day. They say that if you don’t solve the problem today, that black demon will appear.”

“It’s mine. There’s no reason to treat it. And the heroes of the world have come all the way here to protect me, a lowly person. How could I back down?”

“I’m fine! Go ahead and beat up that black devil!”

The swordsman shouted loudly, and Baek-roe-jang laughed at him inwardly. Those swordsmen were simply ignorant and could not understand the hidden meaning of the words.

The blind men also hid their feelings and shook their heads.

“It’s okay. It’s a curse created by the devil called Ma-ui, so it’s very tricky and vicious. To be honest… I’ve already given up halfway. There’s no need for us to play along with the tricks set by that devil.”

Indeed, the words are clever. Even though his abilities were clearly lacking, Black Ghost had become a mine, and his declaration of war was an insult to ‘us’, to the political party.

Baek Roe-jang smiled faintly, Cham Do-hyeop nodded vigorously, and the leader of the Dharma Party simply stroked his sword indifferently.

“The righteous one.”

“yes.”

“Do you know that I have one more mission?”

When the blind men looked at him with a puzzled look at his sudden remark, Seomjeon Kwaigeom shrugged his shoulders and said.

“After the leader learned that the Hwangryongmun had taken control of two of the five great clans, the Jeongpa Alliance has been working to root out the root cause. It means that he is considering all possibilities.”

The Blind Dogs’ eyebrows twitched.

“The leader of the clan has ordered that if it is confirmed that the leader of the clan is indeed in collusion with the Demonic Clan, you are to be taken into custody immediately.”

The True Magic Knight said in disbelief.

“Da, Daehyeop! What are you talking about! How can you be the good swordsman…!”

“I am only speaking as I was told.”

The blind man clenched his hand under the table. He squeezed his patience and couldn’t tear his nails to the point of bleeding like he usually did. The umma might react to the blood.

‘…That damn Taoist bastard.’

Even though he showed me kindness and treated me like a dog after I became the leader of the Jeongpa faction, he betrayed me like this.

In contrast to the anger in his heart, the blind men sighed and began to act as if they were sorry.

“Isn’t that obvious? In such a sensitive time, I can’t be an exception.”

“Your Majesty…!”

As expected, the only one who showed a moved expression was Chammadouhyeop.

At that moment, a small commotion broke out outside the pavilion. As soon as everyone on the third floor heard the commotion, the maid opened the door again and looked at the Mengjiandan with bewildered eyes.

“that…”

The maid spoke hesitantly. She too had an expression on her face, as if she was confused as to whether what she had been told was correct.

“The Sword Dragon So-hyeop, the Mukseong So-hyeop, and… the Yeomcheonseong So, So-hyeop wish to see the Good Lord.”
