nByeok Tae-san looked down at Baekhwaruju, who was lying flat in front of him.

n“Thanks to Confucius, we were able to finish the work for sure.” After saying that, Ru Baekhwa took out some papers from his arms and politely held them out.

nWhen Byeok Tae-san received it and read it, it was full of details about how he took control of Haomen. He knew what he had been doing in the first place, who he killed, and how he saved someone, and how to use it.

nHe was honestly a little surprised. After reading all of the papers, Byeok Tae-san swiped it up. Papers fluttered in the air with a pararack sound. Then, each document suddenly caught fire.

nWhoops!

nIn an instant, the papers turned to ashes and scattered in the air. Ru Baekhwa looked at the scene with enchanted eyes.

nWho in the world could do something like this casually?

n“It was impressive. So, have you become Hao Munju now?”

nRu Baekhwa bowed. “Yes. Now I am Hao Munju.”

nAt this, a smile formed on the corner of the other man’s lips.

nActually, he had expected this to happen. This was because Ru Baekhwa had great confidence at the time. However, he didn’t know he could take Haomen so quickly. He had just read the method and process, but it was never something he had prepared for a day or two.

nHe must have been preparing to eat Haomen from a very long time ago. And even though he had now become Master Haomen, to lie on his face like that in front of Mount Tai was the same as saying that from now on, he and Haomen would go under Mount Tai by the wall.

nThere was no one left to say anything about doing that. This was because everyone who truly deserved it had disappeared this time, all from the previous generation Hao Mun-ju, to the old elders who only grew old with fear and greed.

nByeok Tae-san took a booklet out of his pocket and hurriedly threw it. Ru Baekhwa saw the booklet that fell in front of his forehead, almost touching the floor, and carefully picked it up with trembling hands.

n“This is an award.”

nUpon hearing this, Ru Baekhwa found himself wanting to open the booklet right at that moment. However, this shouldn’t be the case. Byeok Tae-san was clearly reading his feelings.

n“You can check it out.”

n“Go, thank you.”

nAfter bowing so low his forehead hit the floor, Ru Baekhwa raised his upper body and carefully opened the booklet. Again, it was dark. It also seemed to be a complete shadow, not a brief snippet, as he had been given so far. His eyes were dyed with pure joy.

n“On the way back, meet Cheon Chushinui’s manna and get some medicine. That’s another part of your reward.”

nRu Baekhwa bowed down once more to express his gratitude.

nThen, Byeok Tae-san’s voice could be heard in his ears. “I decided to step on them.”

nAt this, the other man almost couldn’t control his expression. However, she actually said that from the first time she intervened in it, it was something she expected to some extent.

n“I will start the investigation right away.”

n“You can do it slowly until you get it right.”

nAt those words, Ru Baekhwa looked at Byeok Tae-san with an expression of excitement.

nIn fact, putting oneself in Byeok Tae-san’s shoes, he said this because Haomun had to digest Amyeongbo properly to improve his abilities, but from the standpoint of accepting it, that was not the case.

nWith this, Ru Baekhwa politely bowed and backed away. From now on, Haomen would settle in Wuhan. The Wuhan branch would then be reborn as a real Haomen.

nRu Baekhwa, struggling to suppress his pounding feelings, went to Lu Baekhwa.

nLocated within the Geumbyokjang was Byeok Tae-san’s personal dance studio.

nAnd today, Cheon Kyung-wan was standing in the dance hall. Today was the day when Byeok Tae-san would give one-on-one guidance to Cheon Kyung-wan’s martial arts.

nCheon Kyung-wan then looked at Tae-san with a feeling of half fear and half expectation. Meanwhile, Byeok Tae-san wore a calm expression, as per usual.

nHowever, Cheon Kyung-wan could see that Byeok Tae-san was in a particularly good mood. Of course, one could never be too sure.

nTo get an answer that was close to certainty, he had to summon Yu Seoyeon. If it was Yoo Seoyeon, one would know for sure.

nWith this, Cheon Kyung-wan raised the tension. He must not be vigilant.

n‘Didn’t you say you’d think it’d be better to die?’

nHowever, Cheon Kyung-wan had already done similar training.

nHe even risked his life with Yu Seoyeon, simply because he overcame the limit of pain to see innumerable on the swinging bridge every time.

nByeok Tae-san then looked at Cheon Kyung-wan, who was standing so determinedly, with an indifferent expression. From the looks of it, it seemed that now Muryangbo had to be done for a day or two more.

nThe psyche itself was almost perfectly seated. Of course, that wouldn’t just end there. If one’s body ended up getting damaged through debauchery, they would have to revitalize their body through Muryangbo again.

nIn addition to this, even if he maintained a neat life, his heart and body would naturally shift, little by little. It was as if the non-cheondan members who had already corrected their minds with Muryangbo had to practice Muryangbo all over again.

nByeoktaesan went to the middle of the theater and materialized a window right into the floor.

nWhoops!

nHe then thrust the spearhead, and the spear stood upright into what he created and swayed.

nCheon Kyung-wan looked at Mt. Byeoktaesan and the window with a puzzled expression.

n“Today’s training is to split this spear vertically.”

n“Yes?” Cheon Kyung-wan was momentarily perplexed. “Can I just do that?”

n“If you split it up correctly, today’s training is over. Just go home and rest.”

n“No, you’re not even doing the Muryangbo?”

n“Of course.”

nHearing this, Cheon Kyung-wan’s eyes twinkled like stars.

n‘Today, Confucius deliberately called me to rest.’

nThat was Cheon Kyung-wan’s idea. He knew that Byeok Tae-san was never like that, but today, no matter how much he was to think about it, there was no answer other than that.

n“Then let’s break it up right away.” Cheon Kyung-wan strode towards the window.

nThen, naturally, he drew his sword. Perhaps a low-status person would not have noticed when Chun Kyung-wan drew his sword if he had seen this scene now. All of a sudden, however, the window rematerialized into the gap between Tae-san and Cheon Kyung-wan.

nCheon Kyung-wan’s sword fell towards the end of the spear as it was. This was undoubtedly a success. Chun Kyung-wan did not doubt the result.

nWow!

nIf it wasn’t for the sudden pain in his side…

nKudang Tang!

n“Wow!”

nThe tremendous pain that started in his side spread like waves all over his body. The pain didn’t go away and stayed with me. It hurt so much that he couldn’t even breathe well.

n“Who told you to sit and rest like that?”

nCheon Kyung-wan forced himself to stand up at the voice of Byeok Tae-san, which now sounded like thunder. His eyes were now mixed with regret and disappointment.

nByeok Tae-san stood in the first place without moving a single foot. He never said that he would just keep an eye on the wall when he cut the spear.

nCheon Kyung-wan had a sense of how difficult today’s training would be.

n‘How do you do that!’

nBreaking through the obstruction that was Byeok Tae-san? Not cutting? That was impossible.

nWhile Cheon Kyung-wan was immersed in such a thought, a pain arose in his stomach.

n“Wow!”

nKudang Tang!

nCheon Kyung-wan’s eyes lit up with astonishment. Byeok Tae-san didn’t even move. No, he didn’t even look this way.

nBut what the hell was this pain? It was as if he had been hit hard with the tip of his toe.

n“Cool! Cool!”

n“Do you have time to think and relax?”

nThere was a certain gloom in Cheon Kyung-wan’s eyes. However, suddenly, his body got up beyond his will and was approaching his spear.

n“Open your senses wide. Then you can do it.”

nAs soon as Tae-san’s words fell, a shock came as if his heart was about to break.

nWow!

nKudang Tang!

n“Wow!”

nCheon Kyung-wan endured his pain and reflexively got up.

nHe began to think as he walked back to the window.

n‘Can anyone really break that spear?’

nByeok Tae-san suddenly remembered the old days when he saw Cheon Kyung-wan flying back in shock and pain while trying to swing his sword again without breaking his will.

n‘Who cut that one?’

nNow, this was one of Hocheondae’s training methods. At that time, of course, instead of looking after each person like this, all of Hocheon University gathered their strength and were taught how to split a spear.

nAnyway, there was one successful guy back then, and he was sent out from Hocheon University on purpose by Byeok Tae-san.

nTae-san was immersed in memories for a moment, and lightly pushed Cheon Kyung-wan’s side as he slashed his sword.

nWow!

n“Aww!”

nIt looked like it had cracked a bit, but Cheon Chushinui would surely take care of it. It was certainly convenient to have a good member of the legislature.

n“How many more members should we have?”

n* * *

nGo Jun-kwang made an absurd expression. Twenty men were lying in front of him. They were the ones who had escaped from infinity. Originally, there were more than this, but it was said that a few were not able to escape and had gotten hit.

nIn fact, it was enough that they all disappeared. He knew very little anyway, so even if he was caught and tortured, there wouldn’t be any information to divulge. Besides, there was a ban on these guys, so even if they wanted to talk, they couldn’t. It was the same, even if the Haomen people were to use drugs that made their minds fuzzy. This had already been verified.

nThe problem wasn’t with these guys. “Did Seo Do-gun and the bitter gourd get hurt?”

n“Yes. That’s right.” One of those who fell down answered trembling. Before he left Wuhan, he fumbled on what the manager had told him.

nGo Jun-gwang, who heard the report, frowned. “How much is the loss in one shot this time?”

nBangangsi still had to wait a little longer. Perhaps it would come back. However, the amount of money that went into infinity was not easy.

nIt was all lost now. Besides, all the money came from Go Jun-kwang’s pocket.

n“Are those who couldn’t get out have been beaten by the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon?”

n“Yes. Namgung Sega and Zhuge Sega were also not easy.” The reason for this was because he moved too actively to turn the eyes of the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon.

nGo Jun-gwang heard that and thought for a moment, then frowned. “Isn’t it supposed to come with a tail?”

nMoorimmaeng and Heukryeon were never easy-going. They couldn’t just let the people who worked their tricks on them just escape from infinity.

n“The tail was attached, but it was shunned. It took ten people to take it off.”

nIt meant that ten people sacrificed and redirected their pursuit.

n“Whoa. I guess I’ll have to relocate sometime.”

nNow this place was a city called Hancheon near Wuhan. They had set up a base here for work in Wuhan, but now it was time to let it go.

nGo Jun-kwang got up without any regrets and went outside. He still had a lot of luggage to carry, so he must hurry. He planned to leave by the end of the day, packing all his belongings.

nThe day after Ko Jun-kwang finished moving, the warriors of the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon attacked there.

nThey were just one step late.

n* * *

n“Confucius, a guest has arrived.”

n“Customer?” Byeok Tae-san glanced at Danyoung, who was politely bowing.

nWho would be the guests who will come to him?

n“It is said that he came from the Moorimmang.”

n“The Moorimmang?”

nDanyoung bowed her head a little more. Byeok Tae-san nodded back calmly. In fact, from the moment the Moorimmaeng said that he had set foot in Wuhan, he expected to meet sooner or later.

n“I shall take you to the waiting room.”

nByeok Tae-san nodded at Danyoung’s words. “Call them in.”

n“Yes.”

nHe didn’t know who had come from the Moorimmang, but he must have come with some intention. In that case, it was better to meet with Ok Hwa than to meet alone.

nOk Hwa sometimes saw people and situations from a slightly different point of view than Byeok Tae-san. She could also see things others weren’t able to if it was just their first meeting.

nJust as Danyoung was about to go out to fulfill Byeok Tae-san’s instructions, Chae-wol rushed in.

n“Confucius, another guest has arrived.”

n“Another one? Maybe it’s a black lily this time?”

nChaewol shook her head slightly. “Yes. you’re right. What should I do?”

nByeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. “Send him to the guest room.”

n“Yes.”

nChaewol bowed once more and hurriedly left Byeoktaesan’s room with Danyoung.

nByeok Tae-san then turned to the two outgoing people.

n“If you ever have guests coming from other places, gather them all in the reception room.”

nA slightly mischievous smile formed on the corner of his lips. At this, both Danyoung and Chaewol stopped and slowly turned around to answer Byeoktaesan.

n“Yes.”

n“And tell Ok Hwa to go to the waiting room right away.” The two simply bowed once more to answer, and then quickly retreated.

nByeok Tae-san watched the scene unfold silently and muttered, “This sounds like fun.”

n
