Chapter 77

Okhobang.
He was the head of the household, in charge of all the money in the household.
However, Lang Zhu, who had entered retirement four years ago, had left him full control of the school.
He has a great sense of money and a keen eye for recognizing talent and putting it in the right place at the right time.
As Lang Zhu wished, Ok Hobang took over the management of the school and it flourished.
Work came in from all over the Zhongyuan, and skillful bards sought out the Dongpyo Seorang.
-Why not make Dongpyo Seorang your own, until Langju returns?
When the Dongxiao Clan rose to prominence, Jade Emperor Jade was displeased.
He is determined to build a power of his own, so that when Lan Jue returns, he will have no place to stand.
-Bring in the talented and ambitious!
He sent his men out to find and select men who were not only skilled but also eager to make a name for themselves in the martial arts.
Most of them were of poor quality or had committed felonies, but Okhobang didn’t care.
-Aren’t romantics the ones who do the dirty work anyway?
He promised high status and money to those he attracted.
And of the Nangs, he took four of the eight most skilled Nangs, the Eight Great Nangs, and made them his subjects.
With all the money and power he gained, he began to fuck Dongpyo Seorang to his liking.
Inside the Gold Coin Hall, in Okho Bang’s office.
There stood four men in different attire, swords out of the way.
These were his henchmen, the eight great men who ruffled the feathers of the Dongpyo Seirang under Jadehorse.
“What do you want me to do about it?”
Jade Horror frowned.
“The Consular Divine Sword was originally intended to be a sacrifice to the Infernal Blood Lord. We made some great things happen through the political conventions…… but a man named Bu Eunseol, who came out of nowhere, messed everything up.”
“Well, since this is what happened, shouldn’t I give you the sword?”
Gui Gui, a ghostly man standing at the window of his office, said.
“You’ve already seen him win the championship, a whole bunch of martial artists have watched, and now you can’t even bite the horse?”
“Easy for you to say, but do you think you’ll be able to convince the hell out of them?”
When Jadehorse replied in annoyance, Blood Chu, who was sitting across from him, spoke up.
“Didn’t the two parties give up the fight on their own anyway, so why give them the sword when they gave up?”
“The sword is to be retrieved by the two lords. The promise to give the Consular Divine Sword to the Hellblood Castle must be honored.”
“Is that so, and why did he give up on it in the first place…….”
When Gui Gui was silent, Jade Tiger said with a gloomy expression.
“I don’t understand it either. He left Dongpyo Seorang after the final without saying a word…….”
A heavy air settled in the Oval Office.
Jade Horror has requested a closer alliance with the Infernal Blood Clan in order to maintain a greater power in the future.
But if things go wrong from the start and they don’t realize it? You’re not going to be able to make a living in Guizhou anymore.
“Then why don’t you give him a different sword, instead of the Consular Divine Sword?”
Jadehorse shook his head in response to Bloodchu’s question.
“I have already sent a man to tell him so…… but he insisted that the Consular Divine Sword be delivered as promised.”
“So that’s it, then.”
Hua Lan, the woman fiddling with the iron fence next to the blood pool, smiled a poisonous smile.
“Either you give me the new sword as promised, or you don’t.”
Guile looked at Hualan’s lively eyes and said in disbelief.
“You’re crazy. Didn’t you see the way he fought Lord Seo? I don’t know about the other fights, but that one was for real.”
“Hmm. Did anyone here get this far on martial arts skills alone?”
Hualan said, placing a hand on her slender waist.
“Bu Eunseol, no matter how good a martial artist that brat is, he’s still a powerhouse. Once he gets a taste of my beauty and my Ecstatic Pleasure Powder, he won’t be able to resist.”
Then Okhobang held out his hands.
“You should never try beauty pageants. If you fail, Von Lang’s name will be brought to the bottom.”
Then Hualan pouted.
“Not by force, not by beauty, then how…….”
As the story threatened to repeat itself again, a large, silent man who had stood in the corner until now spoke up.
“Then there’s only one way to go.”
“What is that?”
He smiled, showing his white teeth in response to Hwoaran’s question.
“Every trick in the book, every one.”
* * *
Boo Eun Seol was walking inside Dongpyo Seorang with Black Mark.
The Nangyin Market is a perennial favorite in Guizhou.
Like a new moon turning into a full moon, it was thriving.
“That’s where we test the health of our indentured servants, and that’s a shop that sells dry goods and antidotes, and that’s for those who are going offworld…….”
Black Mark, who walked beside Bueunseol, was like a tour guide, explaining the area to her.
“But why is he holding a political convention in his own front yard and not even showing his nose?”
Black Pyo’s face stiffened at Bu Eunseol’s question.
“That’s…….”
Black Mark, looking troubled, replied in a low voice.
“Currently, Dongpyo Seorang is run by Ok Joon Jeon.”
“The week before?”
“That’s right. Master Langzhu has been practicing for four years now, and before he left, he entrusted the management of the Dongpyo School to Jade Pearl, who was managing the funds.”
Black Mark, frowning, looked around the room and said.
“The atmosphere here has changed since Jade Zhenzhu ran Dongpyo Seorang. It used to be a small place, but everyone was nice, and everyone was like family and cared about each other. But now…….”
“And now?”
“Our forces have increased greatly, but so have the number of criminals and vicious killers. Even the Eight Great Nangans, who became henchmen of the Jade Warlord…… Ah, now that Ip Hua is dead, they’ll be the Seven Great Nangans.”
“Octogenarian?”
At Bu Eunseol’s words, Black Mark said with a serious expression.
“It refers to the eight most skilled martial artists in the Eastern Circle, four of whom have already become Jade Warrior’s henchmen.”
As they chatted, they soon found themselves in front of a large building on the western outskirts of Dongpyo Seorang.
It was a large armory that housed a large amount of weaponry, enough to arm all of the Nangin in Dongpyo Seorang.
“Mr. Confucius. This is the Great Armory.”
“Hmm.”
Looking up at the massive stone armory, Buunsul narrowed his eyes.
“You keep the Holy Sword here?”
“Actually, I don’t know where the projectionist’s sword is kept.”
“The divine sword coveted by the martial artists is kept in the armory…….”
Buunsul narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
“Contest prizes are usually given out immediately upon winning. I don’t understand why you’re doing it this way.”
At Bu Eunseol’s words, Black Mark snorted in disbelief.
“In fact, Bon Lang has never offered such a treasure as the Consular Divine Sword as a prize before, and this one was personally acquired by the Jade Lord.”
As Black Mark continues to speak, he attempts to lead Bueunseol to the armory, but is interrupted by a Weesa guarding it.
“Lord Zhu said only the winner, Bu Xiaohua, is allowed in.”
“That’s okay, I’m duly contracted to the Vice Gongfu…….”
“You said to let only the vice president in.”
Bu Eunseol nodded at Wei Yi’s words as he cut off Black Mark’s horse.
“Wait outside.”
“What? But…….”
Swollen eyes, normally cold and still, were blazing red.
Meeting that gaze, Black Mark swallowed hard.
“Something is going wrong.
“Follow me.”
Then Weesa led Buunseol into the Great Armory.
The heavy iron gate opened with a thud. I looked at the side of the gate and saw that it was about a meter thick.
Wide.
The doors to the armory opened to reveal a deep, spacious room filled with countless weapons.
Rows upon rows of weapons, each spewing sharp predictions.
In the corner, heavy weapons used in warfare, such as giant slings and catapults, were displayed.
“It’s quite the interior.”
Bu Eun-sul exclaimed.
If so, they should be happy, or even proud, to explain. However, the guiding weasel just looks nervous.
Chulkung. Kuung.
The armory was so wide and deep that Buun-sul passed through closed doors several times.
Each time they passed through an area, Wisa would pull on a torch on the wall in an awkward motion.
Bu Eun-sul’s eyes widened as she watched the action.
“You’re telling me you never go this deep into the zone.
Squeak.
We finally arrived at a small haze room.
In the empty space of about three sheets, an armory was built and several tables were placed. It was probably intended for short martial arts competitions, or for sitting down and having discourse.
“Welcome. Vu Siao Hao.”
And at the head of the table stood a man in white and a woman so beautiful that it was almost ethereal.
“Let’s call it the backside of the armory.”
“I’m upset.”
The two men and women bowed respectfully to Buunseol.
Bu Eun-sul bowed dumbly and spoke in a low voice.
“And the new sword?”
“It’s being transported. It’s in the depths of the armory, so it’s going to take a while to disarm it.”
Bai Xiaochun pointed to the table and said politely.
“Why don’t you sit here for a while, I’ve prepared a cup of January tea from the Walled Mountains.”
Wamsan’s Ilwol tea is a fine tea comparable to Gummisan’s Oryong tea and West Lake Yongjeong tea.
At the same time, Hwoaran slammed a steaming mug of tea down on the table.
“Please have a seat.”
As Bu Eun-sul took her seat, Bai Feng and Hua Lan raised their teacups and spoke.
“Congratulations on your win.”
And they took a sip of tea.
But Bu Eun-sul just glared at them and didn’t touch the car.
“Don’t you like ……?”
The swollen snow on the white surface looked down at the clear, cool, fragrant January tea.
“No problem.”
Then Hualan asked cautiously.
“Do you want me to get another car?”
“Nope. Don’t bother.”
Bu Eun-sul said in a low voice.
“I’ll just wait and take the sword when it comes.”
Then Bai Feng and Hua Lan looked at each other.
In fact, the January tea given to Bu Eun-sul contained a potent hallucinogenic, euphoric, and ecstatic herb.
‘I knew he was a bit of a weirdo, but I never thought he’d even touch the tea…… recommended.’
The first ruse was a beauty contest.
Feed it the Ecstasy in the tea, and while it’s hallucinating and yinxing, the white side is away.
If she was tempted by Hua Lan, he would lead the men to accuse her of being a liar and disqualify her as the winner.
‘I can’t help it, so here’s the next step…….’
Baek-myeon couldn’t help himself and tapped the table.
“Is the Divine Sword still far off?”
A moment later, I heard a low voice outside.
“The great men have brought the new sword.”
“Lift.”
The door opened and the two weavers brought in a large metal box, set it down on the table, and left.
Bai Xiaochun opened the box with a cautious expression, and there, glowing with a brilliant light, lay a sword.
“This is the projectionist’s sword.”
The projectionist’s sword reflected in the light was a work of art.
The slightly yellowish hilt of the sword was engraved with a mysterious dragon-like pattern, and the rim of the hilt, connecting the sword to the hilt, was studded with blue gems.
“This is the Holy Sword.”
Bai Xiaochun’s eyes narrowed at the muttering of the swollen snow.
“Don’t like it?”
Smirking, Bu Eunsun suddenly shot them a chilly glare.
“If this is a divine sword……, then there is nothing in the forest that is not a divine sword.”
