Book 2: Chapter 152: Let’s just sssh, slash! What do you think? (6)

Young master-nim, I, ugh, here, gaaag-

Yeah. You can wait here.

Cale patted Dursts back as Durst did his best to hold back his dry heaves and started walking.

Sima Pyeongs tastes are not very good either.

Should he phrase it as the Unorthodox factions people really seemed to fit the Unorthodox faction?

A beautiful pavilion surrounded by clear water. There was a path toward the highest seat surrounded by the beautiful music played by musicians.

There were feasts prepared on both sides of the path.

The people seated at the tables were all core members of the Divergent Coalition.

The right side has neutral and Sima Pyeongs people.

The left side was the opposing faction centered around the leader of the Green Forest.

How entertaining.

Usually, the more important people were seated closer to the top seat but everybody sat as they pleased in the Unorthodox faction.

They were looking at Cale through this odd silence.

Their gazes were quite hilarious.

Human! That punk who looks even stupider than Toonka is glaring at you!

For reference, that punk was the leader of the Green Forest.

Why was it that all bandits looked so monotonous like a clich?

Anybody would be able to tell that this guy was the leader of Green Forest.

Human! This is weird, there are too many humans in the Unorthodox faction making weird expressions!

Raons assessment was accurate.

Hehehe-

A person chuckling as if they were drunk while winking toward Cale.

A person wiping a rough blade and wetting his lips with his tongue while looking at Cale.

Or a bastard looking at him as if he wanted to kill Cale.

There were all sorts of bastards here.

Cale walked past them before hearing a voice for the first time.

That person is young master Kim.

He turned toward the voice.

A person seated on the right side.

A major figure in the neutral faction of the Divergent Coalition

It was the Pinnacle Demon.

As one of the Five Demons, she was the third Demon Cale had met after the Carnage Demon and the Sword Demon.

She looks exactly as I have heard.

The Pinnacle Demon was the oldest of the Five Demons at the age of eighty and originally held a different title.

Her original title was Poison Demon.

She was the person whose name was best known in the Unorthodox faction for her use of poison.

However, a change happened to her martial arts at some point.

She decided to reach the pinnacle in the use of poison and gathered all martial arts compatible with poison, even the third-rate ones, to research them.

However, she was unable to find a martial art suitable for her poison after over twenty years and, as a result, said that she reached her limits and called herself the Pinnacle Demon.

I heard that she has a terrible relationship with the Emei Sect and the Sichuan Tang Clan?

The Emei Sect was a sect of women that had started as a gathering of nuns to discuss arts and the Dao before turning into one of the Orthodox factions Nine Sects One Gang.

The Sichuan Tang Clan was one of the Orthodox factions Five Great Clans and famous for their poison and terrible tempers.

The Emei Sects current Sect leader and the Pinnacle Demon had clashed against each other quite often when they were younger, turning them into bitter enemies.

As for the Tang Clan, they couldnt help but be wary of the Pinnacle Demon as they also studied poison and hidden weapons.

That is why the Sichuan region is quite messy they said?

Normally, a region is usually controlled by one group. However, the confrontation between the Orthodox faction and the Unorthodox faction was firm in Sichuan without leaning in either direction.

The Orthodox faction had the Emei Sect, the Tang Clan, and the Qingcheng Sect.

The Unorthodox faction centered around the Iron Street Market and had the Black Dao Gang and the Pinnacle Demon.

There were no major conflicts but Sichuan maintained a tight and tense atmosphere.

That was also where the Pure Silver Merchant guild, which Cale presumed to be a branch or core part of the Blood Cult, existed as well.

Its going to be quite the shitshow.

Cale sighed thinking about that chaos but a smile soon appeared on his face.

Human! You havent smiled like that in a while!

It was because Cale would be the one to create that shitshow.

He planned on completely flipping things over.

That was why he went all around purifying people and acting all polite until now.

Cale looked at the sharp eyes of the Pinnacle Demon within her wrinkled eyelids and smiled.

Hoooo.

As the Pinnacle Demon let out a short gasp of admiration

Coalition leader. Why did you suddenly call us together?

Someone stopped Sima Pyeong before he could even sit down.

Xia Ryeong.

The owner of this peaceful-looking name was the leader of the Green Forest.

The person who led the 72 Green Forests and the 18 Yangtze Waterway Strongholds.

Where did you leave Xia Mun?

The man whose hair was even messier than Toonkas held his cup of alcohol in his hand as he looked up at Sima Pyeong.

His gaze was vicious.

Xia Mun is doing well.

Ha! What bullshit. We have lost contact with Xia Mun. Right after he met with your kids, Coalition leader.

Xia Ryeongs aura started to get more vicious.

Xia Mun was the second in command of Green Forest who chased after Cale calling him boss.

As visible in their similar names, Xia Ryeong gave his trusted subordinates the same last name and treated them not just as sworn siblings but as if they were actual siblings.

There was bound to be quite the solidarity between the two.

Human! Didnt Xia Mun fall asleep after drinking with Toonka?

He was currently knocked out in an inn somewhere in Guizhou after drinking his ass off.

Cale could see Sima Pyeong quietly observing Xia Ryeong.

Sima Pyeong repeated himself to Xia Ryeong, who was growling while asking about Xia Mun.

Xia Mun is doing well.

No, I asked you where he was-

I said he was doing well.

Hooo.

Cale quietly gasped.

The Pinnacle Demon continued to speak as he did that.

Also, you talked about fighting. You said that we must not be bent. Isnt that what those Demon Cult bastards usually say?

She started chuckling.

Are we the Demon Cult? Who cares about something stupid like the survival of the fittest? In our Unorthodox faction, it doesnt matter if you use dirty or unfair methods or if you continue to stab your allies in the back. All that matters is that you survive. Why are you telling us to fight and jump into a situation where we might die?

She then looked toward Sima Pyeong.

Coalition leader. Why are you acting weak?

Chhhhhhhhhh-!

Her wine glass started melting.

The glass slowly disappeared while reacting to her poison infused internal ki.

Young master-nim.

The Pinnacle Demon looked at Cale.

Do you know the answer, young master-nim?

Wow.

Cale was truly amazed.

This old woman is as I have heard.

Chief Eunuch Wi had told Cale something.

Young master-nim. Sichuan may look like the Unorthodox faction might get pushed back because there are three strong Sects and Clans of the Orthodox faction there, however

The reality of the situation was that there was a balance.

The Pinnacle Demon. As long as she is in charge of confronting the Emei Sect and the Tang Clan The Orthodox faction will not be able to defeat the Unorthodox faction.

The Pinnacle Demon.

It looked like he would be able to communicate with this person.

He might even be able to communicate better with her than the slightly crazy Sima Pyeong.

Aigoo.

Sima Pyeong sighed.

As expected, it is difficult to hide things from you, Senior Pinnacle Demon.

His eldest child, Sima Seok, started speaking.

Coalition leader-nim, what do you mean by that-

What do I mean? It means that something quite entertaining is about to happen here.

Sima Pyeong folded his fan.

The music stopped.

Human, are we getting started?

This peaceful silence was the signal.

They are coming in.

The moment that the Pinnacle Demon nonchalantly commented

Chhh-

The door to the pavilion opened again.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

Durst rushed in and ran up to Cales side and pointed with his finger.

Over there!

Xia Ryeong.

Over, aaaaaaaaak-!

The first child, Sima Seok.

And there, there-, ugh!

The moment Durst quickly pointed at five people

Hmm. I guess this is doable?

The Heavenly Demon calmly walked into the pavilion and spoke to Cale.

Cale nodded his head.

Durst didnt act as if he would faint or die as he did back in the Demon Cult.

He just kept dry heaving.

If it is this level of living jiangshis, it is easy.

Even if there were a lot of them

The purification should not take much time.

Especially for living jiangshis who were in shock and not in berserk states.

Hae-il-nim.

Cale motioned toward Choi Han, Ron, Beacrox, Sui Khan, and Choi Jung Soo.

They would take care of suppressing the five people the priest pointed out.

Ill take care of my son.

Sima Pyeong was there as well.

What is this-

Coalition leader-nim, what is going on right now?

In between the shocked members of the Unorthodox faction

Crackle.

Cale channeled his rose gold currents.

A person approached him at that moment.

Did you just say living jiangshis?

The Pinnacle Demon. She quickly walked up to him.

Her eyes were sparkling quite a bit.

Just one living jiangshi!

Hmm?

The Pinnacle Demon shouted urgently and desperately as Cale flinched.

Give me just one! I want to research it!

Cale simply ignored the Pinnacle Demon.

It was better to ignore crazy talk.
