Chapter 106

 

 

“It’s over.”

 

As he cut the Sect Leader in half, the formation also scattered.

He was clearly one of the axes controlling the formation.

 

[You have won a battle against a Super Peak Level expert within a formation.]

[Your understanding of Illusion Principles deepens.]

[Your understanding of sword techniques deepens.]

[Your understanding of Formation Application deepens.]

 

The end of battle. What he gained from this was significant.

 

‘So this is what a Super Peak Level expert is like.’

 

His depth in various fields increased.

The moment the battle ended, his internal energy was also restored.

It was growth he hadn’t felt in a long time.

As he was savoring this, footsteps could be heard from various places.

People came rushing in an instant.

 

“Huh…?”

 

As soon as he looked to see who had come, he immediately deduced their identity.

They were members of the Gosan Sect. The Gosan Sect that was a sect while also being made half like a Great Family through generations.

One of their characteristics was loyalty.

 

‘I should accept them.’

 

Jung Myeong was prepared to accept them.

As for the Sect Leader, since schemes were his specialty, he had cut him down immediately.

 

‘Should I spare the lower ranks? There’s no reason to let them die without knowing anything.’

 

Anyone who wasn’t a leader of the sect was worth sparing.

Even Jung Myeong, who was merciless to enemies, wasn’t such a villain as to easily cut down even good people who knew how to keep loyalty.

Swoosh-

As he stood holding his sword.

 

“Hmm…”

“…”

 

Everyone had indignant expressions, yet no one rushed forward.

It seemed like they would charge immediately if someone pulled the trigger.

But there was absolutely no one to pull that trigger.

 

‘Ha. Rather, those who came all the way to Hangzhou had more spirit.’

 

Jung Myeong openly mocked this, but still no one rushed forward.

They only slightly twitched their faces.

 

“Is there no one who will attack me, Jung Myeong?”

“…”

“Is there no one who will question the Sect Leader’s death?”

“…”

 

There was none. Absolutely no one.

No one with spirit, no one with loyalty.

 

“Haha. Hahahaha.”

 

The Sect Leader split in half.

What on earth was that bastard trying to grasp that he committed such vicious acts, even targeting Snow Plum Sword’s belongings?

The result of that wicked man was so pathetic.

Even as he mocked them thoroughly, the survivors only bowed their heads.

Fine. Wasn’t this game already over anyway?

Now was the time to make a definitive conclusion.

 

“Since not a single person attacks in the name of the Gosan Sect, I shall decree. In the name of the Poison Demon Physician, I decree the ten-year closure of the Gosan Sect.”

 

Jung Myeong declared the closure of the Gosan Sect.

The remaining people only bowed their heads, maintaining silence without a single one stepping forward.

 

‘Fine. Let’s go.’

 

Jung Myeong left through them and went outside.

And.

 

“Physician!”

“Haha. What kind of state is this?”

 

He saw an unexpected scene.

 

 

* * *

 

 

When he came out, he saw Snow Plum Sword Yeo Eun-so half-bound.

She looked disheveled as if she had caused a commotion, but her beauty was shining in a different way amidst it all.

 

“Physician!”

“Did you cause a commotion just because I left?”

“Wouldn’t you do the same?”

“My.”

 

She really had caused a disturbance.

However, she was confident.

 

‘She’s changed.’

 

In the past, Yeo Eun-so wouldn’t have caused such a commotion.

Even if she had caused trouble, she wouldn’t have been this bold about it.

 

‘They say bad habits are learned quickly.’

 

She must have learned that shamelessness from Jung Myeong.

However, it wasn’t bad.

 

“Wow. It seems only Young Lady thinks of me.”

“Of course.”

 

Seol Mae-geom. Setting aside the connection of Jeonjin, she’s a good person.

As she smiled warmly at this.

 

“Did you think I wouldn’t want to go?”

“Ahem… If it weren’t for my position, I would have moved too.”

“Hmm.”

 

From the Deputy Agency Head to Heon-ang Sword and the Branch Leader, they all avoided eye contact awkwardly.

 

‘Looking at them, they all tried to move in their own way.’

 

It would be difficult for Heon-ang Sword to move since he’s bound to the Namgung Family.

However, looking at it, Namgung Yeon, the Deputy Agency Head of Baekyang Escort Agency, must have secretly mobilized the Escort Warriors.

Weren’t the Escort Warriors who had spread far away quietly returning?

 

“Ahem…”

“It was a perfect day for a walk.”

 

The problem was the Hao Gate Branch Leader, who was the most brazen here.

 

[Isn’t that too shameless?]

[I really was going to move.]

 

She showed no sign of having intended to move at all.

 

[Hey, how can I believe that?]

[Look behind me.]

 

Was she worried about hearing some nonsense?

Following her words, I looked behind.

 

“Ahem…”

 

Some giant was quietly clearing his throat. It was Wave Blade.

Wave Blade was one of her subordinates. Looking at it, he must have moved under her orders.

What could I do about this?

 

[I guess I have to believe this.]

 

I should believe her.

 

[You should have believed me right away. Hmph.]

[Well, if you had moved openly like Young Lady Yeo, I wouldn’t have misunderstood like this, would I?]

[I’m someone who has dignity too.]

[Hmm…]

 

Perhaps because of that attitude, some gossip had to flow out.

 

‘This doesn’t feel bad.’

 

For whatever reason, there were so many who moved for him.

This much in the short time he fought with the Sect Leader.

 

‘I would have won somehow, right?’

 

Come to think of it, regardless of how the formation turned out, wouldn’t he have won?

That Gosan Sect Leader was alone even in death.

But he had so many people with him even while alive.

 

‘It’s nothing new, but… it’s good.’

 

It had been a solitary journey into Jianghu.

But before he knew it, so many people had gathered.

Good. Very good.

In such a good situation, there was only one thing to do.

 

“Since we returned before the tea got cold, let’s all go.”

“Where to?”

“Where else could it be? We should have fun.”

 

Rest. Grandly.

 

 

* * *

 

 

For Jung Myeong, there was no need to go far.

Around Gosan Sect, there were plenty of places suitable for holding a banquet.

 

‘The Gosan Sect Leader must have usually used these to entertain people.’

 

He found the best-looking place among several options.

A place where Gosan Sect could be clearly seen below.

 

“Oh my, I never thought we’d set up like this in front of Gosan Sect.”

 

Heon-ang Sword felt uncomfortable about this.

Jung Myeong didn’t mind this at all.

 

“Shouldn’t I establish my position conspicuously?”

“Why?”

“That way it’ll be clear who the winner and loser are.”

 

He had clearly positioned himself here with intent.

The Gosan Sect below causing a commotion while claiming to close their gates.

Jung Myeong watching them from above.

Wasn’t this a clearly contrasting scene?

 

‘Humans are weak to visual things.’

 

Many would witness this contrast.

That was enough.

Even without Jung Myeong saying anything, rumors would spread even more exaggerated.

About his victory!

How could Heon-ang Sword not gauge this?

 

“Well, I’ll have to be careful around Younger Brother.”

“Careful?”

“If I carelessly provoke you, wouldn’t I end up in that state?”

“Haha. Aren’t you from the renowned Namgung Family? How could I dare touch you?”

“Hmm… Normally when someone says that, they’d deny it. But with you… I’m not sure.”

 

Seeing this, Heon-ang Sword showed a somewhat complex expression.

After all, he was someone with ‘Heon-ang’ in his title.

Beyond being a member of the Namgung Family, it meant he was someone with such character.

This method would be quite unfamiliar to him.

 

‘I should be the one to draw the line here.’

 

He couldn’t let that unfamiliar feeling turn into opposition.

Since Jung Myeong knew him well, he immediately created a boundary.

 

“I don’t touch anyone first.”

“As long as we don’t touch you, it’s fine, is that it?”

“Hasn’t it been that way so far? Elder Brother knows too. I’ve never touched anyone first until now.”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

 

He created a simple rule.

If you don’t touch first, this side won’t touch either.

 

“By the way, Elder Brother is included in that range too.”

“Ha, me?”

“Didn’t we decide I’d treat you as Elder Brother recently? I should include you.”

“Haha. What an honor!”

 

This also included Jung Myeong’s people.

Jung Myeong didn’t mind even if it wasn’t just him.

If someone touched his connections, he would bite them like a mad dog.

Someday this might become a somewhat burdensome rule.

As time passed, those who formed connections with him would increase.

 

‘That’s for then.’

 

However, by then he could just build up his strength too, couldn’t he?

Jung Myeong wasn’t foolish enough to worry about a future that hadn’t arrived yet.

While conveying rules, he also knew how to build strength.

 

“Haha. Since it’s such an honor, shall I help you with some work?”

“Work?”

“Yes. Don’t you have any work where I’m needed? Elder Brother, no. Work where we can connect with the Namgung Family. With Baekyang joining in too.”

“My. You’re being straightforward beyond being blatant.”

“Because I know we need to build strength together to endure and stand.”

“Together…”

 

In the end, what mattered were people.

Gaining strength from those people.

Jung Myeong already knew that was the answer.

Normally Heon-ang Sword would just laugh off such a proposal.

But not this time.

He too used his head.

It was a calculation he would never normally make.

Heon-ang Sword was someone who would act according to his nature before calculations.

However, just because he didn’t usually do it didn’t mean he was foolish.

 

‘Now Younger Brother’s reputation in this Anhui will overflow. Even now, the Family Home wouldn’t dislike connecting with him. Baekyang has also connected with us. Not bad.’

 

Heon-ang Sword’s calculation quickly finished.

He immediately came up with a plan to build strength together.

 

“Let’s see. Helping with work. I can think of what to help with right away. You make spirit medicine too, don’t you?”

“How do you know that?”

 

He suddenly brought up spirit medicine.

 

“When you’re openly distributing to the Military Department, how could I not know?”

“My. It’s military supply though. Military supply happening in Hangzhou at that.”

“Hoho. I’d be a fool not to know.”

“Well, I’ll have to be careful of every move.”

“Of course. Haha.”

“Now, enough joking. So the reason you mention spirit medicine – is it what I’m thinking?”

“That’s right. How about continuing to distribute spirit medicine in this Anhui?”

“Good!”

 

Spirit medicine sales were immediately established.

And regularly at that.

 

‘A business involving tremendous profits has been created.’

 

 

For something created in less than half an hour since taking a seat at the banquet, it’s quite substantial.
