Chapter 522

Episode 522:

The battle has just ended and the battlefield is a mess.

I brushed off the blood from my sword and looked around with tired eyes.

It was a great victory.

The Demonic Cult army led by the cult leader was annihilated, and on the other hand, the damage suffered by our troops was not that great.

The Empress of the North Sea and provincial commander Sang Baek-jin led the troops to attack Ma Qiao’s rear.

It was questionable why they intervened, as they had hoped that Baekdo and Demonicism would interact with each other, but after hearing the story from Eumgwi, it seemed that Sohyeongeom had a hand in it.

‘Should it really be called Sohyeongeom?’

Before the Demonic Cult attacked.

Without a doubt, the most powerful martial faction in the northern martial arts was the Hwasan faction.

The Dongpa faction, which is the same old Daemun faction, could not produce absolute masters like the Sword Demon, and the Shinchangyang family was not even of the five generations to begin with.

‘In fact, the only group that could compete would have been the Peng family of Hebei.’

Therefore, it was not strange that Sohyeongeom, who also served as an elder of the Hwasan faction, was acquainted with provincial leader Sang Baekjin.

Of course, it was Sohyeongeom’s ability to use that friendship to change the course of the war.

“Big.”

As the excitement of battle wore off, pain came over me.

His ribs and left arm were broken and he suffered considerable internal injuries.

If it weren’t for his body strengthened by the White Lightning Divine Art, he would have collapsed and was left struggling as soon as the fight with the Demon Cult Master ended.

It was late, but I still needed to rest and take care of my body.

To prevent any aftereffects from the injury.

Namgung Segaju Namgung Ho came to the side and asked.

“What should the leader do?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“You were the one who took him down. And everyone here knows that you have dedicated your life to destroying the Demonic Cult.”

“.......”

“So, you have the full right to decide how to dispose of the cult leader’s body.”

I scratched my cheek with a nervous expression.

I was grateful for the consideration, but to be honest, it only felt like a burden.

Everyone was misunderstanding.

The reason I have been at the forefront of destroying demons until now is to avenge Wolhwajang.

However, I was not a descendant of Wolhwajang or anything, and of course I had no intention of comforting the soul of the fallen family.

To be honest, it didn’t matter to me whether the soldiers of the Allied Forces here were playing with the body of the dead Demon Cultist or performing a funeral.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a profit by selling the body to an empress who had a grudge against the religious leader.

‘......still.’

When I looked back at the cold corpse of the religious leader, I clicked my tongue.

Now that I have the rights in my hands, I no longer want to see the body being brutally mutilated.

I myself couldn’t tell whether it was courtesy to an enemy general or the bare minimum warmth shown to a person who had been a teacher in a previous life.

‘Well, I guess it’s okay to be whimsical like this.’

When I conveyed my intention to Namgung-ho, he nodded and instructed Gasol to collect the body.

[Instead of accepting the request for military support, there is only one condition that Namgung Sega will demand from the Murim Alliance.] [

If the White-Faced Death God is captured, the right to recruit and dispose of the target will be handed over to Sega.]

There must be a lot you want to say to me about the White Faced Reaper.

Judging from the fact that he respected my wishes without saying anything, he was no ordinary person.

“It was amazing.”

As I returned my sword to its sheath and started walking, a woman’s voice rang into my ears.

As I turned my gaze to the side, a woman with a beautiful appearance came into view.

Unusual clothing that did not fit the culture and climate of the Central Plains was noticeable.

The Seomun family is a famous family that has held government positions in the imperial family for generations.

Among the high-ranking officials whose names you might recognize, quite a few were from the Seomun family.

For example, the provincial commander of Cheonghae also had the surname Seomun.

‘It’s going to be quite a pain. Second death penalty.’

As Sosalma-gun, he would never have imagined it.

I will move the government army to block his path.

A snickering laugh escaped my lips.

The members of the torpedo squad looked at me with a puzzled look as I was suddenly making a joke.

* * *

“Pfft!”

The male Sosalma-kun groaned.

Because the government army blocked the road, they were unable to head to Xinjiang and were stranded.

In the current situation, conflict with officials was something that should never be done.

Not only could we not waste the little power we had left, but if we were not careful, the Demonic Cult could end up being accused of treason.

The reason they strictly controlled the entrance and exit of the gate was because they received a tip that ‘weightlifters who had rebelled against the imperial family in the past were hiding in Cheonghae.’

I couldn’t tell if it was real or if it was just a loose justification.

What was important was not authenticity.

Since this is a serious issue, if you touch it wrongly, this side could end up in trouble.

While I can’t do this or that.

The political faction’s pursuit party quickly narrowed the distance.

The demonic cultists who tried to escape Cheonghae even by crossing the untouched mountain ended up being attacked by Cheonan Gambu.

Kang! Kakakang!

The sound of metal echoed loudly.

The screams of the demon cultists echoed throughout the area.

‘The troop gap is too big!’

Sosalma-kun chewed his lips.

I decided to lead the main force.

I could only assume that Yongwang, the head of Cheonan Gambu, had foreseen the current situation and had organized the pursuit team in advance.

‘He’s the only one who knows that I had plans to betray the cult leader in the first place. He may be the only person who can foresee the current situation and make arrangements.’

My teeth suddenly ground apart.

Still, for a moment, we joined forces to deal with a common enemy, but I had no idea that they would attack us in the back like we had been waiting for.

“found!”

“Sosalma-kun is over there!”

I became impatient at the cries of the pursuers, who were full of energy.

He waved his gray hand and caused one of the Cheonan inspectors to fall from his horse, then took a deep breath to calm himself.

The good news among the misfortune was that I somehow found a way out.

As long as they could shake off the pursuing force, they would be able to return to Cheonsan with their main force intact.

It was that moment.

‘100 million!’

He lowered his head and saw the image of a man in black crouching on the ground.

It was as if I had assimilated into the ground.

Even though it was right in front of me, I couldn’t feel it, which gave me a strange feeling.

‘When was this close!’

I was scared and tried to hit the man, but it was already too late.

The new model of the company’s Seo Ho-seon rose diagonally.

Sigh!

Sosalma’s cut off right arm sprayed blood in all directions.
