Side Story Episode 106. Descendants of the Black Devil (6)
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes, looking down from the hill, became as cool as the moon.
Juyeongyo came next to him.
“My lord. Shall we set up camp?”
“So be it.”
The group of Yacha workers who set out from Hibmandaesan quickly entered Gangseo Province and soon arrived near Udo (于都).
Even though it was adjacent to Guangdong Province, the climate was completely different. It was definitely drier and cooler.
After ordering the yakshas to camp, Juyeongyo shook his hands and said.
“It wasn’t very noticeable during the entire training, but it was noticeable when I showed up like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“The number of Yachas.”
Currently, some people have received exactly up to the tithe.
In fact, I could have received more than enough, but Yaksha Salyeong has become an organization where not everyone can receive it anymore. In addition, a group led by a unique person named Lee Cheon-sang had to pay even more attention to personnel management.
The number of people chosen was barely ten, so there are 110 yakshas here, excluding Lee Cheon-sang.
Juyeongyo looked at the towering mountain in the distance.
“That’s Baekun Mountain.”
“okay.”
Although it was a long distance away, it was clearly visible to their eyes, which had deep inner strength.
Juyeongyo’s eyes deepened.
“You said there were five people in total.”
“I don’t know how much time is left now.”
This refers to the former Normas who escaped.
Although they were old, they were middle-aged when they escaped. It’s noma now, but back then it was in its prime.
“I heard that all of them were fatally injured.”
“Danjeon said that there was not a single mine that was in good condition. “They all suffered terrible internal and external injuries, to the point where they were unable to move with any reasonable mental strength.”
“How could I have survived in a body like that?”
“At this point we don’t know.”
Lee Cheon-sang sat there and crossed his legs.
“As soon as camp preparations are finished, call the leaders.”
“yes.”
After a while.
The leaders gathered around Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“They said that Sogong, the leader of the Black Demon, and Captains Three, Four, and Five were missing. “To be exact, it was a kidnapping, but we still don’t know if his life will be saved.”
Sangcheon Yoo opened his mouth.
“He would have died.”
The leaders looked at Yu Sang-cheon.
Yu Sang-cheon was not discouraged at all. It would be foolish to look at anyone’s opinion while expressing one’s opinion.
Lee Cheon-sang asked.
“Why are you so sure?”
“To date, I know of no successful hostage-taking against our school. I heard that even a long time ago, when the next leader of the church was kidnapped by ruthless political sects, the leader of the church at the time burned him together with his enemies.”
It can be said to be a fairly bloody incident, but surprisingly, such history has continued to this day.
“They have been active in our school for a long time. Of course, you know better than anyone else about our school’s ruthlessness.”
“Right.”
It made sense.
Juyeongyo opened his mouth.
“I also agree with what Captain Ten said. “I’m not sure, but considering the possibilities, it seems difficult to say he’s alive.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked around at the leaders.
Everyone nodded, including Wei Chan, the leader of the eleven.
However, only one person, Heo Pil, was looking at Baekun Mountain with cautious eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang asked.
“What are the thoughts of the leader?”
Heo Pil tilted his head.
“I do not know.”
The leaders looked at Heo Pil.
Lee Cheon-sang asked.
“None of us can be sure of anything. However, it sounds like the leader’s statement that he doesn’t know means that the possibility of survival cannot be ignored.”
“to be honest… … .”
Heo Pil, who was lost in thought for a moment without speaking, soon nodded.
“If you think about the possibilities, I think it’s closer to survival.”
The leaders looked at Heo Pil with surprised eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang asked again.
“The reason is?”
“Of course I could have killed him. But the problem is the tendency of the previous Normas who escaped.”
Danliu asked.
“By disposition, does that mean they are all good?”
Heo Pil shook his head.

“That’s not it. Looking at the reports on their positions and past actions, it appears that they have a rather ruthless side. Considering the circumstances of our school at the time, people who do not have that kind of determination cannot become the head of the inner city combat unit. “It’s not much different now.”
“Of course.”
“However, there is information that they loved their family terribly. “If it is written down in a report, it means that such tendencies are particularly strong, right?”
“hmm.”
“I know very well about the leader of the Black Devils. “He is a man named Mok Baek, and he is said to have come from a run-down Mok family and entered our school with outstanding talent.”
Heo Pil’s eyes lit up.
“Then why did the prosperous Mok family fall apart?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Two of the Norma who escaped were Mr. Mok.”
“That’s right.”
Heo Pil stroked his chin. His beard had grown thick after not being maintained for a few days.
“So to speak, they are traitors to our school. However, the reason the Mok family was not completely exterminated is because of the merits accumulated by their predecessors. “It is not known exactly what the ball is.”
Juyeongyo nodded.
“As I was talking, I remembered. I also heard it during my time at Hwanheewon. It is said that the Mok family of Shingyo is a family that has devoted itself to the school for hundreds of years.”
Yoo Sang-cheon tilted his head.
“Then why didn’t you go out separately? If they had shown that level of dedication, it would have been okay to surround themselves with the outside world like the seven magic families. “The university would have provided support.”
“I don’t know that.”
Juyeon-gyo looked at Heo Pil.
“What about work management?”
Heo Pil shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know those details either. However, what is certain is that the reason why the Mok family ended up being sanctioned even though it produced more than one traitor is that their merit was that great.”
“hmm.”
“In other words, just not exterminating them is a huge blessing. However, if there was a talented pastor like Mokjakbaek, they would even accept him. Our school is never soft. This can be interpreted to mean that it was difficult to mistreat the Mok family.”
“in other words.”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“Iljang Mal will not kill this unit carelessly, even for the sake of the Mok clan staying in Shingyo… … Is that something like that?”
“That’s my opinion. “It would have been even more difficult to do anything since the leader of the Black Demon Company was their bloodline.”
Heo Pil quenched his appetite.
“Maybe they sent the dark demon squad on purpose. Because Ranch Baek is the team leader. Or maybe he sent it with the intention of checking the loyalty of the Mok family.”
The faces of the leaders became serious.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth again.
“We don’t need to know the details. What is important is what kind of judgment you make when carrying out a strategy when you cannot consult with anyone. “You only need minimal knowledge of the mission.”
“That too.”
“Besides, we are only a support unit, and it is the Black Horse Unit’s job to transport the old horses from the squadron. “Maybe we will take over that mission, but for now, we will act in the form of thorough support, so the commanders must take care of the Yashas properly.”
Lee Cheonsang looked at Yu Sangcheon and Wei Chan.
“In particular, new leaders must be able to focus more effort on managing the yaks. “This will be their first mission.”
Yu Sang-cheon and Wei Chan bowed their heads.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“good.”
Lee Cheon-sang stood up.
“I rest until just before the sun rises. If we get a call from the main team of the Black Demon before then, we will move right away. “If I don’t hear from you, I’ll leave as soon as the sun rises.”
The leaders bowed their heads and retreated.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was left alone, looked up at the sky.
‘That’s strange.’
He had made it a habit to always organize and understand everything logically.
But for some reason, I’ve been feeling like it’s been difficult to explain lately. I simply said it was a feeling, but something that couldn’t be explained with just the word feeling always struck Lee Cheon-sang’s senses.
‘Are people expressing that they feel strange about something like this?’
Other than that, there is no other way to explain it.
Yes. Lee Cheon-sang felt strange.
The problem is that it cannot be interpreted logically. So, unlike usual, Lee Cheon-sang’s head kept making unknown errors.
In fact, Heo Pil’s analysis was something that Lee Cheon-sang had already reached. However, unlike usual, I wasn’t sure about it and couldn’t organize it properly.
It was strange.
My thoughts kept getting interrupted, and it became difficult to concentrate as much as before.
But surprisingly, conversations with other people were becoming much more comfortable. I was able to read everything the person was thinking just like before, and instead of having to analyze and cross-verify each and every thing like before, the responses were coming out right away.
This was a huge change.
Lee Cheon-sang was taken aback by this explosive change he had never experienced before. And he was once again embarrassed that it was his first time feeling that feeling of embarrassment.
This was the reason why he couldn’t sleep recently. He spent a lot of time trying to interpret this phenomenon, but he could not find a clear answer until now.
All you have to do is skip over the unanswerable questions. Lee Cheon-sang was like that in the past.
But now… … .
‘Is it because of magic? Or maybe I’m sick.’
Fortunately, there was no change such as loss or weakening of martial arts. No, rather, the magic increased as time passed.
Lee Cheon-sang sighed with an expressionless face.
I sighed again, thinking I knew why people would sigh.
* * *
Early morning the next day.
In the distance, the east seemed to be getting brighter little by little.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“everyone… … .”
The yakshas who were already awake opened their eyes.
At that time, Lee Cheon-sang looked down the hill in the distance.
“atmosphere.”
Lee Cheon-sang gestured towards Juyeongyo and Danliu.
“Senior leader Heo Pil, please take charge of the unit for a while.”
hook!
Lee Cheon-sang and the two leaders went down the hill.
Although it was a fairly steep slope, the three climbed down it in an instant.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.
“Dark horse.”
A person stood up in the forest far away.
As one person stood up, the remaining hundred or so demons hiding behind him also stood up.
Juyeongyo and Danliu were surprised.
Even though he was hiding in a thicket of bushes, there was no sound when he got up. I watched the leaves hit my body, but there was no sound.
‘Stealth art!’
This was no ordinary stealth technique. It was an amazing feat that went beyond simply reducing the presence of one’s presence and even controlling the sounds around oneself.
The man in front opened his mouth.
“Are you the owner of a group of Yasha commanders in the outer garden?”
Juyeongyo and Danliu’s eyes became bloodshot.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
“… … .”
The man’s eyes became sharp at Lee Cheon-sang’s blunt answer.
Lee Cheon-sang continued.
“Is this a black horse?”
“… … Yes.”
“Reveal your affiliation.”
The man’s cheeks trembled slightly.
He knew Lee Cheon-sang. The reason is that when Lee Cheon-sang was brought to Shingyo, it was his group that was in charge of that task.
An ordinary person who didn’t have the slightest skill has suddenly become the demon of the Yasha spirit and is treating him poorly.
Isn’t it a really strange feeling?
“This is Kwak So-jong, leader of the Black Horse Unit.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
It was a voice in his head too. Moreover, their secret magical energy could not be revealed unless they were orthodox magicians of the Heavenly Demon Church.
“I came as a support unit. “How can I move it?”
Kwak Sojong’s eyes sparkled.
“That’s blunt. “Okay, it’ll be easier for us if you come out like that.”
“Say it.”
“I want you to infiltrate Baekun Mountain. “All of you.”
