Chapter 130

Episode 130 The Demon Hand of Greed (4)Zhong Lishan’s cheeks trembled.

This is truly an extreme choice. What kind of logic is this, that if you don’t go to help Tuwangmaga be buried, you will be thought of as harboring a traitor?!

“Are you trying to test me with such nonsense?”

“I decide whether it makes sense or not. “All you have to do is provide answers to my questions.”

“Such injustice…!”

“If you think it’s unfair, would you like to at least submit a petition to our school?”

“What?!”

“Just in case, I think it would be better for your family’s sake not to post a petition.”

Seo-ryang’s face, which was full of smiles, suddenly became expressionless.

“That petition could come back as a suicide statement.”

“…Are you trying to persecute me?”

“It’s not persecution, it’s reality. I am an agent of the will of the religious leader. “Ignoring the words of such a person and saying you will not follow them is not an act of disrespecting the religious leader, is it?”

“profit!”

Sreuk.

Seo-ryang pulled out the Yonglin sword and pretended to put it on his shoulder.

“The conversation leaked to a strict place, but the inspector general must definitely check it out.”

“….”

“I will ask you one last question. “Has the head of the family harbored a traitor?”

“…That’s not true.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“Then that’s it. We will leave for Tuwangmaga at Sulsi (戌時) today night. Please contact the family, mobilize all the troops you can muster, and gather them near Tuwangmaga.”

“I had no remorse. But I will not participate in exorcizing Tuwang’s family.”

“Is that so?”

“exactly.”

“Is that your choice, Geokyunggaju?”

Zhong Lishan’s eyes were full of power.

“exactly. Tuwangmaga is one of the seven houses. Even though we are all affiliated with Protestantism, we have a relationship that spans hundreds of years…”

“Great Lord.”

Seoryang calls Wi Hongryeon without even listening to everything he says.

Wei Hongryun lowered her head.

“Please excuse me.”

“Please send a letter to our school. “As of now, the Geogyeong family is declared a traitorous family.”

At that moment, the atmosphere around the area quickly became cold.

Wei Hongryeon was also surprised, but did not show it.

“Is there anything else you would like to write?”

“I ask you to quickly deploy troops to replace Geogyeongga. Also, tell them to dismount the troops and masters who will be suppressing the rebel family because they don’t know what they might do. “Send it by payment.”

“All right.”

Zhong Lishan shouted.

“Look!”

Xu Liang turned around.

“We will leave tonight. “Until then, everyone get some rest.”

It was complete disregard.

Zhonglisan and Haiwangwei could not stand it any longer.

Rumbling!!

The ground in the area shook as if there had been an earthquake due to the terrifying energy waves they emitted.

“…I respected the inspector general.”

Xiliang glanced back.

Zhonglisan’s face was distorted like a ghost.

“But you belittle my respect as being too light.”

“This energy, this survival. Can I interpret this as the will to fight?”

“Yes!”

Easy profit! Boom!

A long spear flew from somewhere and was caught in Zhong Lishan’s hand. Even at first glance, the ornately decorated silver polearm looked like a mighty magic weapon.

“I respected you and I respected Protestantism! But you turned my family into a family of traitors with your nonsense! No matter what I say, he won’t listen and it’s clear he’s planning on selling the main house!”

Xu Liang smiled.

“you’re right.”

This is another unexpected answer. Zhonglisan, who was about to speak passionately again, hesitated for a moment.

“what?”

“I said yes. “If the head of the family does not lend a hand in honoring the Tuwangmaga, I have decided to unconditionally declare the family a traitorous family.”

“This strange thing…!”

“Isn’t it okay if I do it?”

“What bullshit!”

Xi Liang said coldly.

“I’m asking you whether you truly harbored rebellious intentions.”

“Didn’t I tell you! “I have never been a Christian for a moment…!”

“Isn’t the very idea of becoming independent from Protestantism repulsive?”

At that moment, Zhong Lishan felt speechless.

I was so surprised that the energy waves radiating started to fluctuate uncontrollably. Everyone turned their attention to him at the violent change.

Xu Liang continued. Just as Zhong Lishan’s tone had changed, his tone was also different from the beginning.

“You looked down on our school too much. Have you ever thought it was strange why the first family to be inspected was the Jeoksa Family and then the House of Representatives? “Have you not felt uneasy about him even for a moment?”

“…!”

“Did you really think this school didn’t know what your family wanted?”

Zhong Lishan’s face turned pale.

“You are different from Jeoksagaju. Since people are different, their natures are different and their thoughts are also different. But the goal is the same as the Jeoksaga. “Your family, like the Jeoksaga, is trying to break away from the main school.”

“….”

“But after seeing the actions you took, I wanted to give you at least one chance. “The fact that I didn’t say it out loud was out of consideration for you and your family.”

In an instant, Zhong Lishan realized.

I realized why this little inspector was pushing me with absurd logic, throwing out extreme options and urging me to make a choice.

“This was my own way of observing your family. A few pieces of document are not important. What really matters is how you felt. “Even if he harbored rebellious feelings, I wanted to know whether he would suffer if given another chance.”

Wei Hongryeon let out a soft exclamation.

‘Then what did you say then?’

On the way to Hyeongsan, Wei Hongryeon asked. What if Geogyeongga brings false ledgers? I asked whether proper inspection would be possible with that.

At that time, Seo-ryang responded like this.

“It just expanded the scope of inspection.”

Yes. In the first place, the important thing in inspecting Geogyeongga was not the account books.

What really matters is whether they are still as loyal to Protestantism as they were in the past. Seoryang, the inspector, must have known in advance why he had to keep an eye on Geogyeongga.

That’s why the head of the family was summoned.

If you do something like this inside the Geogyeong family, it will become dangerous.

“If you had brought a false ledger, we would have immediately declared you a traitorous family. But you didn’t. “I felt that although there was a desire for independence, at least they would not try to deceive the school.”

“….”

“I gave you another chance because I knew how you felt. “But you shamelessly claim that you have no remorse and call out my injustice.”

“….”

“Is it that unfair?”

“…!”

“Do you want to fight that much?”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“If you really want that, that’s fine. I will capture you right here and now and escort you to the main school. “Do not expect any more mercy.”

Quang!

Seoliang, who planted Yongrindo into the ground again, shouted.

“Great Lord!”

Bababababaak!

The lighthouse quickly spread to the left and right, surrounding Haewangwi.

If it were the original Sea King, it should have responded as soon as the lighthouse moved. But in this overwhelming atmosphere, they missed the time to move.

No, they know it subconsciously.

If you truly fight here, you will truly be branded as a traitorous family.

Hahaha!

A powerful energy wave exploded from Seo-ryang’s body.

A look of astonishment appeared on Zhong Lishan’s face. I had a vague idea that my opponent’s skills were great, but this was far beyond what I had vaguely imagined.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Squeeze!

Red magic energy shooting up into the sky.

Gorgeous lightning flashed around Seo-ryang’s body, which was emitting demonic energy. It was a dark mine that looked much more dangerous than the one we fought at Jeoksa Temple.

At the same time, a terrifying roar was heard from afar.

Kaaaa!!

It is different from the roar of a tiger or lion.

It is the cry of a divine beast, much sharper than that, but with incomparable majesty.

Quaaaang!

All of Zhonglisan and Haiwangwei were astonished.

Suddenly, a huge golden fox appeared next to Seoryang, glaring at them with murderous eyes. It was even more terrifying because there was a giant tiger with its tongue hanging out of the fox’s snout.

A snout covered in blood. Geumho’s presence, with his blue eyes shining, was comparable to that of Seoryang.

Wooooow.

An unusual wind blew in Yongrin Island.

Xu Liang said.

“Any last words?”

Jongnisan looks directly at Seoliang with trembling eyes.

I was surprised by my opponent’s skill and was shocked by the presence of a monster that suddenly appeared.

But at that moment, Zhong Lishan thought.

‘It’s a treasonous family…’

Is wanting independence really treason? Was it really so wrong to want to break away from the extremely unfair relationship with Protestantism?

‘I am not wrong.’

Although it wasn’t wrong.

‘but.’

Zhong Lishan closed his eyes. The hand holding the silver magic spear trembled.

Xiliang’s eyes sparkled with fire.

“If you don’t have anything to say, then…”

“You said you already knew everything?”

“What are you saying.”

“You said that the Protestant church already knew that I dreamed of independence.”

He was the first to confess his purpose to an outsider.

“Even though I knew everything, I sent an inspector…”

Zhong Lishan sighed.

“It would have been better if we had sent troops to wipe them out, as you said, without questioning the reasons.”

“….”

“Sending you already meant that the religious leader had given me an opportunity.”

Xu Liang did not answer.

Zhonglisan, who was quietly watching Xioliang, put down his spear.

Tieeing!

The polearm rolled aimlessly on the floor.

Xi Liang asked.

“Does this mean that you will obediently submit to arrest?”

“No one knows.”

“hmm?”

“I will become independent from Protestantism. “I definitely wanted that and prepared a lot for that.”

Zhong Lishan said calmly.

“But I’ve never told anyone that.”

“so?”

“Let’s end it with just me.”

“….”

“I am the only one who has been influenced by that unscrupulous and dangerous ideology. “No demon in my family knows that.”

“….”

“Cut my head right here and now. And please save my family.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

Zhong Lishan sighed.

“You know that my life is not that great. “I’m just appealing for recognition, so don’t take my words offensive…”

“I ask you again.”

“…?”

“I’m on my way to visit Tuwangmaga. “We don’t have enough troops.”

“….”

“Would you please lend us a hand?”

“Why again all of a sudden…”

At that moment, Zhong Lishan’s eyes wavered.

‘Right.’

It’s not because his life is light. It’s probably not because he doesn’t want to kill himself.

In any case, if the inspector does not help, the inspector has no choice but to request support from the new church. In that case, you will have to explain to Xinjiao why you killed Zhonglisan.

Of course, Shingyo will not forgive Geogyeongga.

In the end, there is only one way to save the family.

“…I will help the inspector general and prove my loyalty to Protestantism.”

Xi Liang lowered his sword.

Then he took the gun and bowed his head.

“Thank you for your decision. “I will never forget the kindness of your family that helped me with my inspection work.”

“no. Rather, I am the glory.”

Xu Liang smiled.

It was a smile that showed genuine goodwill, not the cold mockery that had been shown so far.

That’s why it’s scarier, and that’s why it’s more trustworthy.

“Although I wear the epaulettes of an inspector, I still make frequent mistakes due to my lack of experience. “I will learn a lot along the way.”

“….”

“Thank you for your hard work. Please rest before departure.”

Three days later.

The party entered the territory of Tuwangmaga.
