Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 910
Episode 910. Don’t look at the acknowledgment and step on it
. Five days ago.
Chiliha Village, Zhengzhou, Henan Province.
Hocheon blindness.
Joo Cheon-gyo, a new warrior who was resting at the inn, headed for Hyeoncheon-gak at the call of the musketeer.
In the front yard of Hyeoncheongak, he greeted Moon Yoo-beom, who was selected with him.
“What is Moon doing here?”
“The Musketeers told me to come. What about your older brother?”
“I also came at the call of the Musketeers.”
Then Moon Yubeom looked at Jucheongyo with new eyes.
Joo Cheon-gyo also looked at Moon Yoo-beom with the same eyes.
‘what?’
Among the new masters of the Hocheonmaeng, the top 10 are called ‘Hocheon Ten Girls’.
It is not known how much they receive as monthly wages.
It’s because the number isn’t small, and their mouths are so heavy that they don’t talk about it.
After Hocheonsipgeol, more than a hundred masters received ten hermits.
The masters who received 10 hermits for Wolbong called themselves ‘Hocheon Ten Euns’, comparing themselves to ‘Hocheon Ten Geols’.
Moon Yoo-beom and himself were ‘good luck’.
Moorim is an ability system.
The nangin are not provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and receive three hermits a month.
So, providing food, clothing, and shelter and receiving 10 hermits a month was a special treatment.
As a joke, they are called ‘good luck,’ but it’s a possible treatment because they’re all first-class masters.
Joo Cheon-gyo and Moon Yoo-beom entered Hyeoncheongak, conscious of each other.
But what is this?
There were three more ‘Hocheonsipeun’ sitting in the conference room that was guided by the person from the Musketeers.
Gongsunbang, who led the Wulin Festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, opened his mouth.
“Everyone knows who I am. Let’s get to the point. Hocheonmaeng’s main enemy is famous religion. Do you have any objection to this?”
Although it is a temporary job, the current leader of the Hucheon Meng is Gongsun Bang in his 50s.
Now, to the new warriors who were only in their twenties and thirties, Gongsonbang was an extremely high superior.
The five new warriors shook their heads as if agreeing.
Since the purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival Murim Competition was to recruit knights who would stand up against the famous religion, there was no objection.
“It is different from famous religions, but Hocheonmaeng has one more potential enemy. Do you know where it is?”
Gongsunbang looked at the five new masters with meaningful eyes.
Someone answered carefully.
“Isn’t it green?”
For a moment, Gongsonbang laughed.
The person who said it was green scratched his head with an embarrassed face.
“Green forest itself has no history against Maeng. They are nothing more than helpers of the Demonic Cult or other forces.”
In a word, greening is not the enemy.
Gongsonbang’s voice was heard in the ears of the newcomers who were racking their brains.
“There are two types of enemies in the world. Although they are enemies, they are enemies that help me develop and enemies that kill me. Famous schools, for example, belong to the former. It was because Hocheonmaeng, who lost the meaning of existence and lived in vain, selected new recruits and made them fight. Hocheonmaeng’s potential enemy can be said to belong to the latter. Still don’t know?”
In an instant, a light flashed in Zhu Chun-gyo’s eyes.
‘aha!’
He seemed to know who his potential adversary was.
This is because the only place that could compete with Hocheonmaeng today was the Nammaeng.
“Are you Southern?”
Gongsunbang’s eyes widened softly.
“right. Is it strange to say that a coalition of the same faction is a potential enemy? Hucheonmeng recruited new recruits after decades. It costs thousands of hermits every month to feed you, clothe you, put you to sleep, and even give you a monthly salary. Hocheonmaeng chose you to manage Moorim. If we protect the rights and interests of the minor breakwaters, they pay us an honorary fee, and we in turn pay a portion of the money to you as monthly salaries.”
The newcomers who had only practiced martial arts all their lives nodded at the detailed explanation.
“But what would happen if Moorim’s breakwaters depended on the Southern Alliance instead of us? The reward money they pay goes to the South. It is said that all of Moorim’s money will flow to the South. Hocheonmaeng becomes poorer as Nammaeng grows richer. When the money coming into the Hutian League decreases and you can’t pay your monthly salary, we have no choice but to organize you. That’s why the Nammaeng are called the Hocheonmeng, especially the potential enemies of you new recruits. Got it?”
“yes!”
The five first-class masters answered unanimously.
After listening to Gongsunbang’s explanation, the rather ambiguous concept of the enemy became clear.
Eyes flashed in the eyes of the new recruits who were sitting in a daze, unable to distinguish between the front and back.
“You seem to have understood the language, so now I will teach you what to do. There is a place called Geumwa Sangbang in Luoyang. As the top 10 of the continent, they are strong allies of our Hocheonmaeng. I asked for help there. It is said that the ancestors who support the Southern Alliance are messing with Geumwa Sangbang’s business.”
One of the new recruits hastily stepped out.
“Can we go and step on them?”
Then, Gongsonbang replied in a calm tone.
“Yes. The meaning of Geumwa Sangbang and Sangjo Sangbang is by no means small as the ten upper phases of the continent. Whether we like it or not, people will perceive it as a confrontation between the Hocheon-maeng and the Nam-maeng. Don’t just step on it, but thoroughly step on it and make the South Meng fear. From now on, don’t even think about provoking anything related to our Hocheonmaeng.”
Joo Cheon-gyo asked cautiously.
“Does treading thoroughly mean seeing blood?”
“I guess it depends on how strong the opponent is. You guys decide that on the spot. It’s okay to blow off at least one of your limbs, as well as your life.”
“I don’t know if there will be support from the South, but can we do it with the five of us?”
“You are the ten chiefs. I’ll assign ten people to each of you. There is an escort from Geumwa Sangbang, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. In Luoyang, your status is as a soldier hired by Jinwa Sangbang. As soon as the work is finished, you can lead the crew and return to Hocheonmaeng. Any questions?”
Moon Yoo-beom raised his hand.
“Don’t they say that the original blade has no eyes? If the fight heats up, it may not end with one of the limbs… Is that okay?”
The newcomers shook their heads.
Certainly a melee could have cost someone their life.
Gongsonbang looked at Wen Yubeom with cold eyes like a snake and replied.
“This is not just a conflict of interest between the parties. It’s a fight between the Hocheonmaeng and the Nammaeng, and your survival depends on it. If you want to eat well in Hocheonmaeng, step on it without looking at people. Hu Chun Meng will take care of the aftermath.”
At his blatant words, the ‘Thousand Ten Silvers’ nodded vigorously.

and now.
Sangwoljeong.
At noon, the representatives of Geumwa Sangbang, Jinpyeong Sangbang, and Ilsim Sangbang gathered.
When the time came, Kwak Yang-in, the acting head of the Geumwa Sangbang, tried to proceed with the meeting, but the reaction of the Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilsim Sangbang Arks was lukewarm.
Gu Bon-woong’s ark, who saw this, raised his hand and stopped the meeting.
“The two Acting Chiefs Kwak seem to have gone to the bean field, so stop for a moment.”
“yes.”
Kwak Yangin took a step back.
This is the time when Bon-woong Koo’s ark looked closely at the arks of Jinpyeong and Ilsim.
Several people’s footsteps were heard in the yard.
Soon after, the sonwol ark of Sangjo Sangbang appeared.
Fifty or so warriors were following him in an orderly manner.
The faces of the Ark of Jinpyeong and Ilshimsang who saw the Sonwol Ark brightened.
“Heh heh heh! I’m a little late because I’m sorting out urgent matters. The old ark, I was also interested in taking over Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilsim Sangbang, so I came running without shame.”
“Tsk! I still have the habit of putting chopsticks on someone else’s table.”
Koo Bon-woong’s ark looked at Sonwol’s ark with disapproving eyes.
However, the sonwol ark calmly sat on the vacant seat with its hips on its back.
“I don’t know how far the story has come, but let’s continue.”
Gwak Yang-in, who was hosting, saw Gu Bon-woong.
Goo Bon-woong, who clicked his tongue once again, nodded his head with an expressionless face.
Only then did Kwak Yangin continue.
“First of all, we, Geumwa Sangbang, intend to purchase Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilshim Sangbang for 100,000 nyang each, as we tentatively agreed last time. In addition, I will take on the debts of Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilshim Sangbang. I think this is enough, but what do you two think of the ark?”
The Arks of Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilshim Sangbang couldn’t hide their joy at the words, ‘I will take on the debt’.
But he didn’t immediately agree to that.
It is because there is an ark of Sonwol from Sangjosangbang, who proposed to sell it for 150,000 nyang.
As expected, the Sonwol Ark did not disappoint them.
“Our ancestors are also willing to take on debt and purchase each for 150,000 nyang.”
Gu Bon-woong, unable to hold back his anger, shouted out loud.
“Hand Ark! Behave in moderation! What kind of money do you think the ancestors have!”
Then Sonwol Ark put a bundle of slips on the table and said.
“Of course, all I have now is 100,000 nyang. Take 50,000 Nyang as advance payment. The intermediate payment of 50,000 Nyang will be paid within two months, and the balance of 50,000 Nyang will be paid next spring. The two arks can run Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilshim Sangbang as they are now until next spring, when the balance is due. How are you? If you want to get 100,000 nyang now and finish it, sign a contract with Geumwa Sangbang. But if you want to receive 100,000 nyang this year and another 50,000 nyang next spring, let’s make a contract with me.”
“joy! Are you going to gulp down both Jinpyeong and Ilsim with just 100,000 nyang?”
“The South Alliance will provide a guarantee for the payment of the interim payment and balance. Isn’t that believable?”
The Arks of Jinpyeong and Ilsim nodded their heads.
Maybe someone else doesn’t know? If the Southern League guaranteed payment, it was worth waiting for.
“Will you carry the Southern Alliance on your back and devour the Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilsim Sangbang with your bare mouth? Sonwol! Did our Geumwa Sangbang look so easygoing!”
The sonwol ark responded casually to the sound of evil.
“A bare mouth? Can’t you see the 100,000-yong bill in the eyes of the old ark?”
“It’s foreign minister to take over the upper room! I had never heard of such a story! Besides, what if the Southern Meng went there and said he didn’t know? What are you going to do?”
Then one of the warriors who had followed the sonwol ark stepped forward.
“I am someone other than Mo Yong-gak who belongs to the General Staff Department of the Southern Alliance. Sangjosangbang is the main sponsor of the Nammaeng. The Southern Alliance’s General Staff will guarantee the payment of the ancestors.”
When the master of the Southern League came forward, Koo Bon-woong couldn’t resist and just trembled.
Thinking that everything was over, Sonwol’s ark pushed the slip toward the ark of Jinpyeong and Ilsim.
It is time for Jinpyeong Sangbang and Ilsim Sangbang Ark to reach out with slips.
Led by ten escorts, Joo Cheon-gyo stepped forward.
“Luoyang is outside the jurisdiction of the Hutian League. In the jurisdiction of the Hocheon League, the Southern Alliance stood as a guarantee? In Moyong Daehyeop’s eyes, Hocheonmaeng seems to be wearing pants and jackets, right?”
Mo Yonggak’s face contorted at the sudden provocation.
I don’t know who the opponent was, but this was a statement that openly disrespected the South.
“Who are you?”
“I am Joo Cheon-gyo, the escort of Geumwa Sangbang. If you want to vouch for it, stand at Hefei. No one here in Luoyang recognizes the guarantees of the Southern League.”
“what! One escort…”
However, Jucheongyo ignored Mo Yonggak and said to the Ark of Jinpyeong Sangbang and the Ark of Ilsim Sangbang.
“The two of you, think carefully about the ark before deciding. How long will the guarantee of the southern alliance from Luoyang last? I think I would refuse that money.”
At his bleak words, the Arks of Jinpyeong and Ilsim withdrew their hands.
Oh Man Nyang seems to have to give up.
I don’t know anything else, but it’s because I can’t live with Hocheonmaeng and Chuck in Henan.
Mo Yonggak shouted with a deadly face.
“Joocheongyo! Do you think you will be safe even after insulting the South? If you don’t kneel down and ask for forgiveness right away, I’ll arrest you and take you to the Southern Alliance!”
