Chapter 80
Baek Cheon-Sang and the other patriarchs discussed matters related to the Zhejiang Martial Alliances operations, including the Zhejiang Martial Alliance United Corps establishment. At the same time, Baek Mu-Gun collected his winnings of 100,000 nyang from the gambling event in which he betted on who the martial arts tournament winner would be.
The Hangzhou Merchant Company, which organized the gambling event, paid 100,000 silver nyang without making a fuss. Although they lost 100,000 silver nyang to Mu-Gun, so many people bet on Byeok Cheol-Gun and Tae Gong-Pyo that they still earned more than 200,000 nyang in profits after paying Mu-Gun.
Mu-Gun deposited the 100,000 silver nyang to the Myth Vault, receiving a credit note in return. He planned to use his earnings to establish the Zhejiang Martial Alliance United Corps.
The Zhejiang Martial Alliance United Corps establishment was expected to cost a few million nyang. However, that total amount already accounted for a few years. It would only cost 500,000 nyang to a maximum of 1 million nyang per year. As the Zhejiang Martial Alliances leader, the Baek Sword Sect had to cover thirty percent of it, which meant they had to pay 150,000 to 300,000 nyang a year.
The 100,000 nyang he earned from the gambling event was not enough, but it would still be of great help. After depositing his winnings, Mu-Gun focused on improving the martial arts of the three clans, including the Wind Saber Sect, while the Ten Clans of Zhejiang leaders were in a meeting.
Among them, the one he invested the most effort into was the Wind Saber Sects martial arts. Mu-Gun tried to find a way to evolve the 18 Wind Blade Saber Arts Wind Blade into the Wind Blade Scales. After several trials and errors, he finally achieved satisfactory results. If the existing Wind Blade could split a certain amount of saber qi into ten thin blades, the Wind Blade Scales that Mu-Gun revamped could split the saber qi up to a hundred blades.
Dividing saber qi into ten times the number of thin blades inevitably made the Wind Blades thinner. The new Wind Blades, which were now much thinner than before, could react more sensitively to the opponents aura. Its improved application of internal energy significantly enhanced its speed and power.
If Gong-Pyo could use the Wind Blade Scales, which Mu-Gun had revamped, in the martial arts tournament, Cheon-Sang wouldve had trouble blocking them. Nevertheless, if Gong-Pyo were to advance to the Absolute Realm, few people would be able to block his Wind Blade Scales. However, it was not omnipotent. Attacks that exceeded its speed or devastated the space itself could neutralize it.
Even so, there was a good chance that the Wind Blade Scales could become the greatest martial arts, although it would still be useless despite its excellence if its practitioner failed to use it to its fullest potential. Mu-Gun had increased the power of the Wind Blade Scales as much as he could. It was now up to Tae Gong-Pyo and Tae Mu-Gang to display its full power.
The Wind Blade Scales was the last martial art Mu-Gun worked on. Having successfully fixed all three sects martial arts, Mu-Gun met up with Draconic Tiger Gang's patriarch Yong Gun-Seong, Kang Household's patriarch Kang Won-Hee, and Wind Saber Sect's patriarch Tae Gong-Pyo in order and taught them their respective revamped martial art.
The three patriarchs could not help but be amazed by the improved martial arts. Gong-Pyo, in particular, was so shocked upon seeing the Wind Blade Scales, which Mu-Gun personally demonstrated, that he was rendered speechless. The improved martial arts, which had become much stronger in his hands, made the three patriarchs aware of Mu-Guns ability. The fact that he could improve their sects martial arts to this extent meant his martial prowess was very high.
It also showed the Baek Sword Sects truly amazing generosity. Although a part of the Zhejiang Martial Alliance, they were different clans in the end. Hence, it was definitely not easy to willingly improve the others martial arts.
To put it bluntly, the improved martial arts would make the other clans stronger, perhaps even strong enough to pressure the Baek Sword Sect, yet they still willingly did so under the logic that the Ten Clans of Zhejiang had to become more powerful to strengthen the Zhejiang Martial Alliance. However, they could never have done something like that if they werent confident they wouldnt get overpowered by other clans no matter how strong they became.
What was important was that their confidence was not a show of bravado. Having properly grasped Cheon-Sang and Mu-Guns abilities, the three patriarchs believed that the Baek Sword Sect would likely dominate the Zhejiang Martial Alliance in the future. Hence they thought it would be best for them to trust and follow the Baek Sword Sect than go against them. As a result, instead of forcing the other clans into submission with their martial prowess, the Baek Sword Sect showed undeniable strength, causing the clans to follow the Baek Sword Sect on their own accord.
However, not all the Ten Clans of Zhejiang were like that. The Baek Sword Sect still had an unfriendly relationship with the Byeok Sword Manor, the Clear Sun Sect, the Iron Palm Sect, and the Mei Household. There was nothing to worry about, though. The Byeok Sword Manor would likely say otherwise, but the Baek Sword Sect could easily move the hearts of three of those clans if the Baek Sword Sect did what they did for the other clans.

In the inner sanctum of the Hangzhou Merchant Company, Hangzhou Merchant Company's owner Jang Hyun-Chul and a man in his mid to late fifties exuding an extraordinary aura were having a discussion. Interestingly enough, the middle-aged man was the one sitting at the head table instead of Hyun-Chul, and Hyun-Chul was showing the middle-aged man the utmost courtesy. It could be surmised from such behavior that the middle-aged man had a higher status than Hyun-Chul.
Its disappointing that I have to step forward because you cant even handle something like this properly.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Im sorry. I did not expect the Baek Sword Sect's patriarch to reach the Absolute Realm in such a short period.
As the middle-aged man reprimanded him, Hyun-Chul bowed his head.
You said that he inherited the Heavenly Sea God Sects martial legacy, right?
Thats right.
The Heavenly Sea God Sect isnt something we can simply look down on.
No matter how great the Heavenly Sea God Sect is, they would not dare compare themselves to the Demonic Monarchs, Hyun-Chul flattered. Only those from demonic sects could earn the title 'Demonic Monarch.'
Thats a given. However, it would still be better to be safe.
What do you plan to do?
Ill take the Poison Monarch with me.
Ah! If you two Demonic Monarchs move together, dealing with someone like Baek Cheon-Sang would be a piece of cake.
The middle-aged man frowned. The Poison Monarch and I shouldnt even have to handle this ourselves.
There are ninety people in total, with thirty people each from the Baek Sword Sect, the Justice Martial Sect, and the Flying Lance Sect.
There arent that many of them. As planned, well launch an attack tonight, so prepare thoroughly and make sure not to make any mistakes. Inform the Byeok Sword Manor of this as well.
Understood, their subordinate answered, then immediately left.
I doubt Im even needed here, considering there are only ninety of them, the second middle-aged man, who had been listening in silence, said with an indifferent expression.
You dont even have anything to do anyway, so stop complaining.
What do you mean I have nothing to do? Do you know how busy I am?
You are well aware that the patriarch is in a bad mood because of the Great Sima Family incident, are you not? If we make another mistake, we would be severely reprimanded. As you said, this is something that I can handle on my own, but since were doing it, wouldnt it be better to make sure we deal with it properly? The first middle-aged man brought up the Great Sima Family to persuade the second middle-aged man. They both sounded like they were related to the Asura Cult of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect.
Youve got a point.
Stop complaining and cooperate, then. In return, I will let you have a taste of a bunch of energetic girls when were done.
Hoho, I cant wait. The second middle-aged man smacked his lips, looking all excited.
We still have a lot of time, so why dont we play a game of Go?
Why, though? Its so boring.
Whats that? Are you afraid youll lose to me?
Lose? Who? Me?
If youre so confident, then lets play.
Do you think I will fall for such a shallow provocation?
Stop playing hard to get. Weve got nothing to do anyway, right?
You really like doing troublesome things.
The second middle-aged man reluctantly accepted, and the two began to play a game of Go. After a while, night fell. While they were waiting idly, their subordinate who gave a report earlier returned and informed them that they had completed all the necessary preparations.
Well then, lets go.
The two middle-aged men, who were itching to go, quickly got up and headed outside. Upon exiting the building, they found the fifty men the first middle-aged man had brought and a hundred Byeok Sword Manor warriors. They were standing by with black masks and clothes on.
Are you all ready? the first middle-aged man asked them.
We are.
Keep this in mind, everyone. No one should know what is about to happen tonight. For that purpose, we have to kill every single one of them, leaving no man alive. Do you understand?
Yes.
Good. Move out. At the first middle-aged mans order, the one hundred and fifty black-masked men headed toward the inn where the Baek Sword Sects group was staying.
Byeok Cheol-Ryong, who led the Byeok Sword Manor warriors, could not get rid of his doubts. The people the Hangzhou Merchant Company had brought were all giving off a gust of dark energy. It was as if he was looking at demonic sect members. In particular, the two middle-aged men leading them gave off terrifying energy that went beyond what could be called dark. It felt similar to the commonly known demonic qi of demonic practitioners.
Cheol-Ryong was very suspicious of their identity since he didnt know anything about them. He only knew that they were mercenaries hired by the Hangzhou Merchant Company. If they were indeed demonic sect members, the Byeok Sword Manor could fall into a perilous situation. However, he could not dispute that now that they had come this far.
Regardless of whether they were the demonic sect figures or not, not getting rid of the Baek Sword Sects group would threaten the Byeok Sword Manors existence. Cheol-Ryong tried to turn a blind eye to his suspicions. After an hour, they arrived at the city street three hundred feet away from the inn where the Baek Sword Sects group was staying.
