Divine Demonic Path Chapter 53 : The Blood Has Already Started

Two days later, when Tang Xiulian's condition improved, Hua Yunhui and Cho Myung returned to the Hua Family Clinic.

"Did you say Xiulian's condition has improved?"

"Yes."

A letter sent by the head of the Tang family had arrived yesterday.

It was written with an explanation that Xiulian had saved her life thanks to Hua Yunhui and Cho Myung, and an incomprehensible story that there would be a very good thing if Hua Sochen allowed it.

"In the letter sent by Uncle Tang, it said there would be a very good thing, do you know what that ans?"

"That is to say..."

Hua Yunhui, who was blushing and embarrassed.

He told her about how serious Tang Xiulian's condition was when he had just gone to the Tang family, and how she had acted in that situation, and about getting permission for the marriage.

After hearing the whole story, Hua Sochen made a blank face for a while.

"It's a little surprising, isn't it?"

Hua Sochen, who had co to her senses at Hua Yunhui's words, stared at her brother.

And then she shook her head as if she could not understand.

"I don't know what's so good about my lacking brother that she would even risk her life."

"Sister!"

"It's not because I'm ignoring you. She's a child who grew up in a proud martial family without lacking anything. Besides, I know that her personal martial arts are considerable, and she's included in the hundred people who were selected from the world and is learning from amazing people again, right? No matter how well you package yourself, it's not comparable. In the past, since grandfather was here, we could sohow manage, but now it's not even that."

It was a sharp statent that pierced like an awl.

Even Hua Yunhui could not help but agree.

"She said she likes because I'm kind."

"Huh?"

"She said she likes the sight of holding the hands of the dirt-covered people and treating them kindly. More than the so-called great people with grand families and sects."

Hua Sochen, who had heard Hua Yunhui's explanation, seed to understand.

She nodded her head.

"She's a good kid."

"What?"

"I'm saying Xiulian is a good kid too."

"......?"

"Grandfather said so, right? That a person who likes a good person is ultimately a good person. That the wicked often treat good people more cruelly because they are so compared to themselves."

"Ah, I rember. That's why you said that people who like children mostly have a good heart."

"Yes. He said so. So seeing that she likes you, who are as kind as a lamb, so much, I can see that Xiulian also has a good heart."

"She's a bit feisty sotis, but if you get to know her, she's really kind."

"Pfft! Are you already taking her side?"

"It's not taking her side..."

"Take her side. If you don't take Xiulian's side, who will?"

"Is that so?"

The awkwardly smiling Hua Yunhui.

Hua Sochen was happy that her brother's partner seed to be as kind as her brother.

"Sister."

"Yeah?"

"Then are you giving permission?"

"What permission?"

"You're in place of my mom and dad."

"What's there to permit or not? If she's such a good kid, you have to catch her sohow. Ah, instead of this, let's tell the clinic family this happy news."

"Ah, wait a minute."

"Why?"

"Uncle Tang asked to do sothing."

"What is it?"

"He said the Tang family has many enemies. So for our safety, he said we should have a small wedding. And he also said we should keep it quiet until then."

"Huh? Is he trying to say sothing else later?"

"It's not like that. You've definitely beco more suspicious, sister."

At Hua Yunhui's words, Hua Sochen was at a loss for words.

As she took on the managent of the clinic, she had co to have many thoughts and worries. Besides, after experiencing the incident with Hundred Herb Forest, she had even developed a habit of doubting the other party's intentions once more.

"I think it would be best to only tell a few people, including the head of the pharmacy."

"If that's the case, then let's do that."

"And one more thing."

"What is it?"

"She said she wants to take her when she's fully recovered and returns to Tianlian. Since it's Mount Tai in Shandong Province, it will take nearly a month."

"Go."

"Huh?"

"I said go. She's your partner now, so you should take her."

"Will it be okay?"

"The clinic won't be in trouble just because you're not here."

"That's true, but won't we be short of hands?"

"I can help."

At Hua Sochen's words, Hua Yunhui's face lit up.

"You wanted to go, didn't you?"

"I guess I'm a man too. I want to hold Xiulian's hand while traveling. Hehet!"

"Hold it a lot. Just don't smile like a kid like you are now. Most won don't like n who act like kids."

"It's because I'm in front of you, sister."

"Yes, only do that in front of ."

"Hehe."

A smile spread across Hua Sochen's face as she looked at her brother who was dying of happiness.

'Mom and dad will be happy too. And grandfather too.'

***

Sichuan Province, Chengdu.

Ten Thousand Iron Sect.

It was the ti when the demonic faction was in a deep sleep (around 8 a.m.).

The residence of the head of the sect, Ma Shangchun, was wide open.

"Head of the sect! We're in big trouble! Please wake up!"

The deputy head of the sect ran to the bed and shouted.

Ma Shangchun, who was startled by the sound, threw the woman he was sleeping with as if throwing her away and shot up.

"What! What is it! Did that fist master co again?"

"Aigoo, it's not the fist master, but a master has co, so please go out quickly! Quickly!"

Ma Shangchun, at the urging of the deputy head of the sect, grabbed his sword and ran outside.

The Ten Thousand Iron Sect had control over the slums and red-light districts on the eastern outskirts of Chengdu. So the place where the head of the sect, Ma Shangchun, was staying was the center of a complex tangle of alleys.

But there, a group of about twenty people in green robes were lined up, emitting a blade-like montum.

"The Tang, why the Tang family?"

"Where is that guy nad Han, the head of the family?"

The owner of the voice that was full of coldness was Tang Huaping of the Tang family.

The younger brother of the head of the Tang family.

Although not well known, he was also called by the title of Poisonous Hand.

"Why are you looking for the head of the family, Han?"

"Didn't that guy touch the Hua Family Clinic?"

At Tang Huaping's words, Ma Shangchun's expression changed.

'What? Was it that incident?'

"If it's that incident, it's already over."

Ma Shangchun straightened his back.

He could not handle the Tang family with force. But there was no need to go out with a low posture.

Why?

Because they were behind the demonic path of Sichuan Province.

What was scary was a guy who was reckless and alone like that fist master, not a so-called prestigious sect like the Sichuan Tang family. And that fist master would not last long. Because he had already reported this incident to them.

Ma Shangchun threw the sword he was holding behind him and crossed his arms.

It was an attitude of 'do what you want'.

"Yatian has raised you too much!"

It was the mont Tang Huazong spoke coldly.

Ma Shangchun, with his arms crossed, collapsed on the spot.

"Head of the sect!"

The deputy head of the sect, who was startled, looked and saw a small flying dagger deeply embedded in the center of Ma Shangchun's forehead.

'Wh-when?'

When the deputy head of the sect looked at him with a frightened face, Tang Huazong said with a face as blue as a blade.

"Bring all the guys related to that guy nad Han, the head of the family, and that incident. Or you'll die."

At the sa ti, in the center of Chengdu, Huayue Tower.

A middle-aged man in a green robe with his hands behind his back was walking slowly along the main road and heading to Huayue Tower.

It was the head of the Tang family, Tang Huazong.

When Tang Huazong arrived in front of Huayue Tower, the door opened by itself.

Tang Huazong entered Huayue Tower with his hands behind his back.

"They are waiting."

The best courtesan of Huayue Tower greeted Tang Huazong.

Tang Huazong went up to the second floor through the stairs, not even pretending to listen.

Since it was a ti long before the start of business, there was not a single custor. But at a seat by the window on the second floor, a person was having breakfast.

It was an old man in flower-patterned clothes with a small build.

Other than the fact that he was having breakfast at Huayue Tower, which was called the best brothel in Chengdu at this ti, he was a very ordinary old man who did not seem to have any great points.

He was the Heavenly Lord of Yatian, who ruled the night of Chengdu.

Tang Huazong sat down in front of the old man in flower-patterned clothes, who was in the middle of his al.

"Have you eaten?"

The old man in flower-patterned clothes asked.

"I don't eat with my enemies."

"Are you really going to do it once?"

"It seems I've endured for too long."

"Is the Hua Family Clinic worth that much?"

"My daughter's future depends on it."

At Tang Huazong's words, the old man in flower-patterned clothes flinched and looked at him.

"Are you trying to arrange a marriage for your daughter?"

"Yes."

"There are many better places. If there is a place you want, I will build a bridge for you. The Namgung family is difficult, but other families are possible. Which place do you want?"

"Do you know one of the things the Tang family never does?"

"What is it?"

"A political marriage. Do you know why?"

"To not leak the poison and assassination techniques of the Tang family..."

"Everyone knows it like that."

"No?"

"The Tang family does not refuse a fight that cos to them. No matter who the opponent is, once they start, they see it to the end. So to form a connection with such a Tang family, you have to be prepared to see it to the end together. It's hard to expect such a determination from a political marriage."

"Even so."

The old man in flower-patterned clothes put down his chopsticks.

And he leaned back in his chair.

"The Tang family cannot win."

"Hmph! Like Qingcheng?"

"......!"

Tang Huazong laughed, and the face of the old man in flower-patterned clothes hardened.

A long ti ago.

The rchants of the market, who could not endure the tyranny of the demonic factions, had gone to the Qingcheng Sect.

The Qingcheng Sect, which walked the path of righteousness, had sent out its disciples and severely punished those who had been tyrannical. But a few days after that incident, all the rchants who had gone to the Qingcheng Sect had died.

The greatly angered Qingcheng Sect had sent out its disciples again. They had intended to wipe out all the demonic factions. But they had to turn back without catching a single one. Because the rchants of the market had blocked the front of the Qingcheng Sect.

Telling them not to interfere anymore.

Or they would die.

In the end, the Qingcheng Sect had no choice but to retreat.

The lesson that the head of the family, Han, of the Ten Thousand Iron Sect had ntioned to Xue Gongdao about the lesson that the elders of Qingcheng had received in the past was referring to that incident.

'Seeing that he's ntioning the story of Qingcheng, it seems he has co with that in mind. Then he really wants to fight...'

It was when the old man in flower-patterned clothes was seriously racking his brain.

"By now, the Ten Thousand Iron Sect should have been cleaned up. From this ti on, don't even look at the Hua Family Clinic. If you do so, I'll pretend nothing happened."

Tang Huazong said.

But the old man in flower-patterned clothes got angry, slamd the table, and shot up.

"Are you really trying to see blood!"

"The blood has already started."

Tang Huazong said in a low voice.

At that mont, the old man in flower-patterned clothes collapsed on the table.

A chopstick he had been using was deeply embedded in his forehead.

"Tell the head of the Haowu Sect that I want to see him."

Tang Huazong's voice shook the second floor heavily.

Half an hour.

It is enough ti to finish a al.

Depending on the situation, it cannot be said to be long.

Tang Huazong sat calmly and drank tea.

Since the King of Hell was asking for tea, what could he do? Huayue Tower served the most expensive tea.

"Clean it up."

It was a woman's voice.

At the woman's command, the n in black clothes moved quickly and carried out the body of the Heavenly Lord of Yatian, who was said to rule the night of Chengdu.

"Even if you clean it up, it's a ss. Let's move."

"If it breaks down, you might collapse on the spot. Just sit."

Tang Huazong said.

"Break down? Are you going to have a eting after killing the Heavenly Lord?"

The woman's voice beca sullen.

Only then did Tang Huazong lift his head.

The woman who was making a cold face in front of him was Yuexiang, the best courtesan of Huayue Tower, who had guided him to this place.

"I told you to bring the head of the Haowu Sect, but did a re Sichuan branch manager step forward?"

"You know well. But why did you do it? Why did you make things bigger?"

Yuexiang, who was asking with a face full of annoyance.

Her true identity was the Sichuan branch manager of the Haowu Sect.

Haowu Sect (Afternoon Gate).

The martial world could not be a world of only martial artists who had learned martial arts.

Martial artists were bound to co into contact with and clash with nurous people, whether they knew martial arts or not, in the land they lived in, the inns they briefly visited, the brothels, the gambling dens, etc.

Among the nurous people they t, there were bound to be the lowest class of people who were engaged in pickpocketing, theft, prostitution, etc., and those bottom-class people had united to create a huge sect to survive in the world of martial artists, and that was the Haowu Sect.

And Yatian, which ruled the night of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was a subordinate organization of the Haowu Sect.

"Tell . Do you really want to fight?"

Yuexiang said coldly.

Tang Huazong just stared at her as if to say 'go on'.

"This incident won't end easily. Since you killed the Heavenly Lord of Yatian, the Tang family will also have to pay a corresponding price."

It ant there would be retaliation.

At that mont, Tang Huazong moved his right hand.

"It's not a big deal to attack an empty Tang family!"

The startled Yuexiang shouted reflexively.

Tang Huazong stopped his hand. And he looked at her.

"I've gathered all the children that can be mobilized now to the Tang family. If I die, they will imdiately attack the Tang family."

It was a threat that could not be ignored, which could be made to the head of a family.

Tang Huazong reached out with his outstretched hand and grabbed the teapot. And after filling the empty cup, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At that calm appearance, Yuexiang smiled.

She had thought that her threat had worked.

She had confird that the head of the Tang family, the Poisonous Hand, and dozens of elite martial artists of the Tang family had co out of the Tang family. So now the Tang family was like a sandcastle that would collapse with just a touch.

If it was to face the elite of the Tang family, all the mbers of the Haowu Sect from two or three provinces would have to rush in, but if it was a Tang family without its elite, the people in Chengdu alone would be enough, that was Yuexiang's thought.

Was that really the case?

Tang Huazong put down his teacup. And he said in a low voice.

"Let's do this."

"How?"

"I won't question the result at all, so tell them to attack the Tang family right now. After hearing the result, let's talk again."

"......!"
