Chapter 196

Wei Tianjing was surprised.
‘It takes a genius to figure out airspace or air pressure just by looking at it.
In fact, he was sorely mistaken.
A longtime practitioner of the practice, Buunsul can see through clothes, recognize the shape of a person’s body and muscles, and memorize faces.
He recognized the well-developed thigh muscles of Izo’s men, including Wei Tianqing.
‘That kind of quadriceps morphology is not only capable of instantaneous maximal strength, but also has great muscular endurance.
He turned his head to look at the muscles of the Izo crew, including Wei Tianqing.
There stood Hyuk So-jin, Cho Nam-chun, and the others who hadn’t yet chosen a group.
“The Three Stooges are…….”
At that moment, Hyuk So-jin looked at Cho Nam-chun and smiled.
He was said to be the seed of Bu Eunseol, so naturally he assumed that the leader of the Three Kingdoms would be himself.
“Namcheon Cho, you’re on.”
Hyuk So-jin’s face instantly contorted.
“Boo, boo brother? Then I’m…….”
“Hmph, you can see through people after all.”
Zhao Nanchuan looked at Hyuk Sojin and smiled.
But the smile on his face disappeared completely at Bu Eun-sul’s next words.
“And you, Sozin, are my second-in-command. In my absence, you will assume all command.”
In an instant, Zhao Namtian’s face crumpled into an impassive slump.
“Pooh-pooh.”
With his eyes like half-moons, Huo Xiaojin leaned in close to Zhao Nanchuan and said with a solemn expression.
“I will call you Sullivan from now on.”
And the sight of Hyuk So-jin smiling with a twinkle in her eye, as if she’d always done so, was a sight to behold.
“Cut the crap and get out of the way.”
An angry Cho Nam-chun shuffles away with a bead of blood on his forehead,
“By the way.”
Wei Tianqing, who had been silent the entire time, stared at Bu Eunseol with her bangs covered eyes and spoke.
“Why is it that Joe Daejoo…… not Samjojang calls me by my first name?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why am I the one with the bangs and he’s the one with the dreadlocks?”
When Yu Tianqing spoke in a rebellious tone, everyone around him was stunned.
He’s always been a quiet and reserved person.
“When I spoke to him, I gave him my name and said hello, and that was it.”
Bu Eunsun swept Wei Tianqing and the others with her cold eyes.
“What did you do other than say you didn’t want to facilitate?”
For a moment, Yu Tianjing shook her head and remained silent, unsure of what to say.
Then, without warning, Won Se-moon stepped forward and said.
“My name is Won Se-moon.”
“It’s too late, twin swords.”
Won Se-moon’s face turned red as Bu-eun-sul cut him off.
But he bit his lip and didn’t ask anymore, probably because he was the boss.
“But why did you split the group again?”
Buunsul replied to Namcheon Cho’s question.
“There will be no thirty people running around, except in the event of an all-out war. From now on, each group will have its own mission.”
“By the way, are you okay with that?”
Suddenly, Han So-woong, who was standing behind Won Se-moon’s back, patted the bronze plaque and said.
“You’re going to Sinser in this condition.”
“What do you mean?”
Bu Eun-sul asked, and Han So-woong gave her a challenging smile.
“Isn’t this a mission that has no chance of success?”
He gritted his teeth and pointed at the men who glared at him like he was going to kill them.
“You don’t have to do things this way, and you don’t have to alienate your people.”
In fact, with the exception of Zhao Namtian, Wen Se-moon, and Wei Tian-kyung, most of the men were openly disgruntled.
There’s only one reason they were able to survive in Mazen despite being a mess.
Mostly because they are at the peak of their abilities, capable of soloing missions.
No one is easy to deal with, even in a battle, and the pride of the Mubon is high…….
Even though you’re a lender, you’re treated like a neighborhood puppy.
The majority of the troops are still unable to tolerate Bu Eunseol’s attitude.
“It doesn’t matter.”
But Bu Eun-sul only laughed coldly.
“Because unity is not what we need in this fight anyway.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Even if you give me ten times the number of people, I can’t win a head-to-head fight with Mabanmun.”
Han’s mouth dropped open.
Does this mean that Boo Eun Seol should resign herself to everything and go to Seomseo to see what happens?
“Then what’s the point of leading a bunch of guys to the island, when you’re going to lose anyway?”
Then Bu Eun-sul looked up at the distant sky and smiled faintly.
“You do what I tell you to do.”
At that moment, the members of the stage crew all looked puzzled.
-What the heck, what’s the author?
The bosses you’ve had in the past have either tried to grab their steamer by the scruff of the neck, or they’ve given orders from a position of authority.
But Bu Eun-sul didn’t use his martial arts prowess to his advantage, and he didn’t claim high status.
He had a nonchalant, sarcastic personality, a keen sense of observation, and an uncanny ability to win you over.
It’s even making them curious, as if there’s something they can’t figure out.
Curiosity.
Human connection starts with curiosity.
It’s human nature to want to know what you don’t know.
“We’re good for now.
He looked at the skeptical eyes of his crew and smiled.
‘They will follow my orders to a certain extent. Even if only to see who I am and what the consequences of my orders will be.’
“I’m leaving.”
Bu Eun-sul and Hyuk So-jin turned around, and the members of the Mubon Corps, who were staring in fascination, quickly followed.

The Fallen Tower.
Juruda is the most famous of the west coast.
It’s not only because of the scenery, but also because the white liquor, made by artisans from the famous Seobong Brewery, is cheap.
Squeal.
The interior of the three-story parlor was filled not only with cruisers but also with celebrities who came to drink.
“…….”
At the upper window, five stern-faced men sat at a table drinking.
All were dressed in blue robes and wore swords with two Maehwamun-style threads hanging from their waists.
These were the two great disciples of the Volcano School.
Woodduck.
The martial artists gritted their teeth and stared at the banquet hall three floors down.
Because that’s where the nonsense came from.
“Do you guys know that the third of the Huashan Ten Swords, the White Moon Dragon, was once a janitor who used to clean the stables of my house?”
“Hoo hoo hoo. What do you have? The elder of the Volcano Sect, Gu Daiyuan, was in charge of collections under my father, who was a money-grubber.”
The voices in the ballroom grew louder, and the disciples of the Volcanic Sect clenched their fists.
What kind of liver-swollen lunatics are in there……
That kind of bullshit on the West Bank, the heart of the volcanic faction’s power base, and nowhere else?
“For God’s sake, I thought you said you swore in public.”
Fang Wuk, the oldest of the seated disciples, said.
“If a disciple of the Great Volcanic Sect gets angry at the nonsense of a bunch of drunks…… that’s as funny as it gets.”
His words were received with a forced smile by Gok Sang-tian, the priest of Bangwook.
“You’re right, I shouldn’t have to react to every single one of those crazies…….”
But his words didn’t last long.
The unbearable words were spoken again in the ballroom.
“It’s no big deal. Do you know, Feng Yuanshan, the elder of the Tanggang Volcanic Sect, has been in our family for generations. …….”
When Zhang Wenyin’s name was finally mentioned, the disciples of the Volcano Sect rose to their feet in anger.
“What kind of a lunatic is talking nonsense in broad daylight!”
Bang Wook complied and walked to the front of the banquet room and shouted.
“Let him who has just uttered the name of a long-lived man come out!”
Then the door to the ballroom opened and a man staggered out, his cheeks flushed.
“What?”
“We are disciples of the Volcanic Sect!”
“If you are a disciple of the Volcanic Sect…….”
At Bang Wook’s shout, Sana stared blankly before clapping her hands.
“Then aren’t we all in the same family!”
“What do you mean, one family?”
Sascha grinned, baring his teeth.
“We are the disciples of Fengyuan Mountain, who used to wear the hair of our house, and you are the same hair…….”
The internal dialog didn’t continue.
Daehan Bangwook punched him in the gut.
“Hmm.”
But Sae-sa snorted and lightly dodged Bang-wook’s fist.
“You’ve got a lousy fist, for a bunch of mud house disciples.”
Fang Wook’s eyes blazed like torches at the man’s sneering attitude.
“Death to those who would defame the text!”
Boom!
Fang Wuk drew his sword, and all the students behind him drew theirs.
But he smirked, stuck his head in the banquet room, and said.
“Hey, my disciples have drawn their swords to kill me?”
Then, one by one, the men in armor began to come out of the banquet hall.
That number is nine.
They also all have a certain look in their eyes and a steady standing posture.
Fang Wuk suddenly realized that the group in front of him was no ordinary drunkards, but masters of the martial arts.
“Who are you?”
“The answer is this.”
Wazzi! Ding!
The inside of the cabin where the fight broke out was in chaos.
Six disciples of the Volcano Sect, including Fang Wuk, drew their swords and stood their ground.
What seemed like a fierce battle ended much more refreshingly.
“Ugh.”
It took less than a minute.
The six Volcano Sect disciples, including Fang Wuk, were lying on the ground, beaten and battered.
“Do you dare to touch this wave and…… think you can escape the land unharmed?”
Sana smirked and shook her head at Bang Wook’s outraged words.
“It doesn’t deviate.”
“What?”
“What could be wrong with you youngsters? It’s all the fault of the old man who taught his disciples wrong.”
Smirking, he dropped to one knee and forcibly grabbed the sword from the fallen Fang Wook’s waistband.
“What are you doing!”
“Be sure to tell the headman. We’ll be on the island for four days, exploring, and if you want the sword back, you’ll have to come find us.”
“A head.”
“Fengyuan Mountain.”
Boom!
The Cipherun flames burned like blades in Vang Wook’s eyes.
This man is still denigrating himself by calling the Volcanic Sect’s elder a mere mortal.
“Onya, I will make sure you go.”
Bang Wook said, chewing and swallowing the fury and flesh that coursed through his throat.
“If you’re a man, don’t you ever run away from the island!”
“Woo hoo hoo, you’re all worried.”
Won Se-moon, the man with the sword he robbed from Bang-wook at his waist, laughed.
“This old man is a man of his word, so be sure to bring his head with you when you come.”

Zhongnan Sect, Jade Qing Pavilion
It is a small conduit a dozen miles from the main sect headquarters.
Originally, Okcheonggwan was a place for practicing martial arts and practicing deep gong, but now it is used as a place to enshrine the four hundred and one Jing family members of the Zhongnan Zhangmen.
Long retired, he had been living in seclusion here, away from the duties of his various sects, living a life of freshness.
“Well, today we’ll study the Liaoshan Qibo, which says that the gods fought against the gods.”
He was over a hundred years old, and his only pleasure in life was Go.
He had an entire room dedicated to Go in one of the rooms of the palace.
-Wong Sung Wong…….
I heard a lot of people talking in the vicinity of the Sect’s headquarters.
From the faint sounds of shouting and cursing, it didn’t seem to be coming from the Sect’s disciples.
“Where did they all go?”
Few of the disciples who should be around the Jade Pavilion were, and only a few bustles of chores were going to and from the courtyard.
Puzzled, Qin Jiaoling turned to Xiao Dong, who was sweeping the courtyard of the Jade Pavilion.
“What’s going on?”
“Since around noon, one or two of these thugs have been showing up, claiming to be the greatest disciples of the main school.”
“What, martial arts?”
Jin Gaoling was puzzled.
Occasionally, there were some unarmed young men who traveled from sect to sect to make a name for themselves.
But in those cases, you’re usually looking for a reclusive master or a faction that has taken over a region.
There are no madmen who come to a great sect like Gu Fei Fang and ask for non-martyrdom.
“You mean to tell me that even the disciples of the main building went out for that?”
“According to the elders, most of the disciples of the main mountain are going strong…….”
“Hmmm. I see.”
Feeling the hustle and bustle, Qin Wentian waved his hand. It’s been a long time since I’ve been involved in the sect’s affairs anyway.
Entering the cabin, he carefully opened the lock on one side.
It housed a checkerboard made of five-hundred-year-old ginkgo wood and a jade checkerboard.
He had laid aside even the sword he had used when he roamed the forests, but he cherished these checkerboards and checkerstones to the point that he carefully polished them every day.
Squeak.
A smiling Jin Gaeryung said,
“…….”
Like a crucian carp on a hook, his mouth gaped open and his eyes widened.
I can’t see the box of checkerboards and checkers that should be glowing brightly. Instead, there was a black mass that smelled musty.
It looked like cow dung and……
It smelled and looked like cow dung.
