Episode 188 The way of non-humans (2)I came to see the Three Dukes.
This is a phrase that can be interpreted in many ways. However, someone of Hao Wenâs lesser rank would not have come just to see his face.
âYou came to see me⦠This is heating up the mood again.â
Xiliang leaned his upper body forward. It was an attitude of wanting to start an active conversation.
âNow that weâve come to this, shall we create a space for open and honest conversation? âLetâs put aside the issue of the family head for a moment.â
âgreat.â
Seo-ryang smiled. He looked like he was having fun just thinking about it.
Gong Yachiâs eyes deepened.
He sat cross-legged, placed his right hand on his knee, and bent his upper body. A subtle dignity was evident in the way he caressed his chin with his left hand as if interested.
It may not have been intentional. It was just that the atmosphere of Seoryang was different from others.
Would it be said that it is closer to the dignity of an absolute person who pursues the world alone, rather than the dignity of a supreme king who seeks to keep all the people of the world under his feet?
Gong Yachi said.
âI donât know if you know, but Guangdong is the only place in Haomun where we have not been able to establish a branch. âThere are a few branches hidden in the western end of Guangxi Province, but compared to other regions, it is embarrassing to even call them branches.â
âI heard.â
âAnd the reason, as you might have guessed, is because I didnât want to get on your nerves.â
âso?â
âIâll tell you straight. âWe would like to establish branches of the text in Guangxi and Guangdong provinces.â
Saaaaagh.
A terrifying demonic energy rose from Ma Dong-pilâs body.
Xu Liang raised his hand. Then the demonic energy disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Gong Yachiâs eyes sank. Although he didnât look back at Ma Dong-pil, he was very surprised.
âItâs an amazing martial arts skill. âAre you saying that the skills of a mere bodyguard are this much?â
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
âYou got the wrong person. If you really wanted that, you should have contacted the religious leader or the commander-in-chief, not me.â
âI know.â
âWhat does it mean that you came to me even though you knew?â
Gong Yachi was silent for a moment.
Seo-ryangâs smile deepened.
âIf youâre asking me to use my powerâ¦.â
âUicheonmaeng.â
âhmm?â
âI donât know about Iron Blood Castle. But Uicheonmaeng is certain.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe Three Dukes hate Uicheon Meng.â
ââ¦!â
Gong Yachiâs eyes narrowed.
âIsnât it?â
It was a businesslike yet aggressive tone.
Xu Liang tilted his head to one side. He was still smiling as he watched Gong Yachi, but his eyes were slowly becoming colder.
âWhy did you think that?â
âWe are controlling and shaking up information throughout the central region. However, I think there is only a handful of information about the Church of the Heavenly Demon.â
ââ¦.â
âAnd most of it is information about the Three Dukes.â
Ma Dong-pilâs thumb moved.
Crash.
The black sword body of the Ink King Sword slowly raised its head. The intention was to cut it down with one sword if it failed.
Xu Liang nodded.
âcontinue.â
âOver the past year, Samgongja has been exposed to the midfield quite a lot. âThe frequency was so high that it could be said to be unusual, considering the position of the Heavenly Demon Church, which had not interfered much with Kanghosa for over 30 years.â
âis it?â
âThe first time the Three Dukes appeared was when they clashed with a tribe of the Beast Palace near Hunan and Jiangxi.â
Xu Liangâs eyes lit up.
âIt did.â
It was a time when I was struggling to somehow escape from Protestantism. It was also the time when I secretly moved in a transport vehicle at the request of Hwanhee Wonju So Yeon-sim.
âThere, the Three Dukes killed Jeong Il-ryong, the leader of the Uicheon Alliance.â
Thatâs amazing.
Xu Liang was purely amazed.
âDid you know that?â
âThatâs right.â
The demons were dispatched and all traces of the battle were erased. Naturally, there were no civilians or warriors in the vicinity.
But Hao Wen knew that. I couldnât even imagine the extent of their information power.
âSam Gongja, who returned to Gyo, then came to Honam as a special inspector. âIt was to look around Madochilga, which was the subject of inspection.â
âIt did.â
Most of the Madochil family belonged to the Honam region. However, the main headquarters of Protestantism was in Guangdong and Guangxi.
It is no exaggeration to say that Honam is also tightly controlled by Mado Murim, but the intimidation of Shingyo has decreased somewhat. This was the reason why there were many branches of Hao Mun in Honam.
âIt is Master Moonâs assessment that he showed an impressive performance there. âThere is little information about Shingyoâs successors, but the Three Dukes said that in all likelihood, they are people who will become the nucleus of the succession battle.â
âItâs an honor.â
âAnd there I ran into a sword archer. Furthermore, not long ago, I ran into the Beast Palace again.â
Xu Liang was speechless.
âI donât know if you have guessed, but the Beast Palace, the Sword Palace, and the Heavenly Dragon Palace are joining hands with the Ui Heavenly Alliance. âThe three princes blocked the advancement of the two palaces that trained with Uicheonmaeng to the central plains.â
Uicheonmaeng and Samgung joined hands.
Gong Yachi confirmed that fact. Guessing and certainty are different in their weight, and in a calm conversation, he delivered information that is difficult to evaluate.
âso?â
âThe problem is Jeong Il-ryong.â
Gong Yachiâs eyes lit up.
âJeong Il-ryong is a man full of corruption. Without the leaderâs knowledge, he had even made a secret pact with the successor of the Beast Palace. However, from the perspective of the three princes, there was no need to try to kill Jeong Il-ryong.â
Because he is a leader of a hostile force?
Not like that. Rather, since he is a leader of the hostile forces, he should not clash. This is because one collision can come back as a terrible aftereffect.
Determining whether a person has stood at the center of an era or not is only a consequential evaluation. If there was any sense, the two should never have collided in the first place.
âYou could just dismiss it as a coincidence. Maybe it was something the head of your school told you to do. But I donât think so.â
âWhy do you think that?â
âThe warriors say: They say you can smell energy. The same goes for merchants who deal with information. âYou can smell a million different things from simple information.â
âIâm not sure.â
âHao Wen thinks so.â
âAre you different?â
âyes. And now, after seeing the Three Confucius, I am convinced that my thoughts were not wrong.â
Is this fun?
Seoyang relaxed his posture.
âI know how proud you are. So what do you want to say? Are you going to establish a branch in Guangdong, Guangxi, through me?â
âThatâs right.â
Itâs not about simply putting up a building. Establishing a branch means actively seeking information from Guangdong and Guangxi.
âItâs a deal, so to speak.â
âThatâs right.â
âBut I donât have the authority to do that. âWhat if I become the leader of the cult?â
Gong Yachiâs eyes lit up.
âI guess so.â
Seoliang, who was looking at Gong Yachi quietly, laughed.
âIs it because I have lived such a rough life? âI always end up attracting dangerous people around me.â
ââ¦.â
âDoes this mean you will help me become the leader of the cult?â
âItâs similar.â
âIf itâs right, itâs right, if not, itâs not. Whatâs similar?â
Seoryang and Ma Dongpil were shocked by Gong Yachiâs calm words that followed.
âIf the Uicheon Maeng disappears under the leadership of the Three Dukes, the probability that the Three Dukes will be confirmed as the next successor will increase.â
ââ¦!â
âI did not come because I wanted the Three Dukes to become the leader of a religious sect. âI came because I needed the âangerâ of the Three Dukes who hate Uicheon Meng.â
Xiliangâs eyes deepened.
Gong Yachi stood up.
âI didnât come here to get a definite answer right now. Please think about it before you leave.â
âhmm.â
âAnd I will accept the case of Danggaju. Let us take charge of the new recruits. âI will pay the price right here and now with my own life.â
That night.
Seoyang sat on the stone wall of the pond next to the small pavilion and looked up at the sky. It was a very beautiful night with twinkling stars.
Seo-ryang, who was looking at the stars, sighed in an uncharacteristic way.
âWhy is it so messy?â
He killed the beast palace lord and even attacked the Tang family troops.
There was no need to encounter the Beast Palace Lord in the first place. I formed an alliance with the Lord of the Ice Palace and went only to rescue my younger sister as the beginning of that alliance.
Of course, it also contributed to weakening the power of the Uicheon Alliance. So I provoked him without hesitation and even thought about burying him.
Although it was a bit rough, the job was completed well and now all that was left was to go back. But suddenly, a man named Somunju from Haomun comes and asks to form an alliance again.
âItâs nothing complicated, but there are a lot of things to worry about. âIâve never had anything like this in my past life.â
Because I have lived only as a tool.
A life of just doing what you are told and a life of leading a life are completely different. Although he has a lot of experience as a strong player and is quick-witted, he has come this far, but his head is slowly starting to become heavy.

âI just want to destroy all those bastards.â
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
âLetâs not complain again. âYou knew it wasnât easy to kill them.â
Rather, I should be thankful. They reach out their hands like this on their own.
At that time, a calm voice came from behind.
âI donât know who it is, but I wonât be able to sleep well if I know that Iâm the target of those bastards.â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âYou shouldnât know. Because itâs obvious that we need to prepare.â
âWhether you prepare or not, isnât it true that you push ahead first?â
âWhat the hell. âAre you saying you know a lot about me just because we worked together once?â
âI just thought so. âI apologize if I offended you.â
âWhatâs there to feel bad about? âAnyone can make an assessment, whether itâs a beggar in a back alley or a three-year-old child.â
âAs expected, the three gongzi are great.â
âI appreciate the compliment. sit down.â
Yeo Kang-hwi sat next to Seo-ryang.
âHow is your little brother?â
âItâs a lot better than I thought. âI felt a little weak, but that will get better over time.â
âStill, pay attention. What the Beast Palace guys messed with was the top battle. âDo you know how sensitive and important that area is?â
âyes. But no worries.â
Seeing him say it this way, it definitely seemed like he was okay. Perhaps, in the martial arts of Binggung, there is a Jeolhak that specializes in managing Dandanjeon.
Yeo Kang-hwi handed a bottle of alcohol to Seo-ryang.
âWould you like a sip?â
âYou made it cold?â
âyes. âThe scent is too strong.â
âItâs good.â
Seo-ryang took a gulp of alcohol.
âWhat a toxic guy.â
âI donât know his name, but heâs no ordinary guy. I am also drinking it little by little. âI felt like I would have a heart attack if I emptied the whole thing.â
Seo-ryang asked, handing Yeo Kang-hwi a bottle of alcohol.
âAre you going to the ice palace now?â
âI think so.â
âOkay, tell it to your sister. âFrom now on, be careful not to snoop around and get kidnapped.â
Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.
âThe Three Dukes will protect you, so what are you worried about?â
âEh?â
âDonât you remember? âOur deal.â
âah!â
Xiliang scratched his head.
âHey, anyway, isnât that too cold-hearted? How long has it been since you rescued someone who was taken hostage? Are you sending it to me? âI like it. Itâs a symbol of alliance. Whatâs the difference between a hostage and a hostage?â
âIt is up to the three princes whether my sister becomes a hostage or not.â
âThatâs true. âDid you say your brother was okay?â
âLin also agreed to this.â
âI guess theyâre brother and sister, but they look just like their older brother in terms of strength.â
âThank you for the compliment.â
âItâs not a compliment, you idiot.â
Yeo Kang-hwi, who was staring at Seoryang, stood up from his seat.
Xu Liang spoke without even looking up at him.
âbye.â
âyes. But we will see you again soon.â
âThatâs right. âYou have to help me become the successor, right?â
âhaha.â
Yeo Kang-hwi turned around.
I wanted to talk about Yuri Potential Great Law, but I stopped. Today, Seoliang looked somehow tired.
Heâll tell you if you need it.
âthanked.â
âOkay, from now on, please do something for me to be thankful for.â
Yeo Kang-hwi smiled faintly.
âDonât forget. âYou will see soon.â
Following Jang Chu, Yeo Kang-hwi also left.
Xiliang looked up at the sky again.
ââ¦Well, this is enough rest.â
He slapped my cheek loudly with both hands.
âI have to try running again!â
* * *
A few days later.
Seoliang walked in front of the lined up Gwangmadae.
âIâm hungry. Letâs go get some home-cooked food.â
It was the morning of exactly thirty days after the decisive battle with the Nanman Beast Palace was concluded.
