The World of Sound - Chapter 111



Only Krnovel

From the moment she took out the symbol of the Southern Wild Beast Palace, Cheonhwa was already the master of the Black Panther.

Even though Bapsaeun had no authority to represent the Black Panthers, and there was a real leader, everyone knew that even so, he would not be able to refuse Cheonhwa’s offer.

Everyone at the top of the Black Panthers knew how much profit the falsely disguised Namman monopoly trade had brought them.

Therefore, it was a natural calculation that it would be better to hand over the business to Cheonhwa and grow the business further to pick up even the fallen beans rather than lose it or give it up.

And everyone’s predictions came true.

Cheonhwa, who had really invaded the Black Panther top with Bapsaeun at the forefront, demanded compensation from the Black Panther top for this incident.

The black panther boss initially objected, saying that it was nonsense, but after listening to the whole story of the bumblebee who quickly approached him in case things went wrong, his face turned pale and he eventually gave up his seat.

Of course, one of the reasons it was possible was the promise that his position would be preserved.

Since Cheonhwa had no intention of staying here and acting as a servant, they reached an agreement to keep everything as it was, but to take a portion, or rather the majority, of the profits from the servants.

There was also a promise to raise the monthly salary of all upper-level employees by 10%, so no one objected.

Even the former top tier.

Instead of stepping down from his position as the top leader, he also ended up receiving a monthly salary, but that alone would have caused a backlash, so Cheonhwa gave him a stake.

Just as Cheonhwa took a portion of the profits from the Black Panthers, he was also allowed to take a portion of the profits separately, so the hearts of the upper class who saw the sign of the Southern Manchuria Palace Lord were relieved and were able to dream of higher places.

Compared to before when everything was mine, my wealth would inevitably decrease significantly, but my existing wealth would be recognized, and if I started a proper trade with the real Namman Beast Palace as Cheonhwa had promised, I would make incomparable profits compared to before, so in the end, I calculated that I would also be able to gain greater profits.

It wasn’t a bad choice for Cheonhwa either, since he would work harder than before for that reason.

All he did was lend the Southern Manchurian Beast Palace Lady a token of his gratitude and place his own name, Cheon Eum Sect, on the flag above the Black Panther.

Even though it was so raw that it was impossible to eat it raw, surprisingly, everyone had a happy ending.

“Where is the top share!!”

BANG!!

Except for one place, Hyeonwolmun Gate, where they had originally decided to wait in line.

“What?”

“What?”

Immediately after deciding to hand over the Black Panthers to Cheonhwa, he sent a letter of severance to Hyeonwolmun, with whom he had maintained a previous relationship, but they sent some fierce warriors to threaten him.

It seemed as if they had no intention of hiding their intentions. They not only used considerable internal energy to kick down the main gate and barged in, but they also showed off their menacing aura with all their might.

The Black Panther members tensed at the sight, but Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon showed no reaction.

Even though Hyeonwolmun is the ruler of Ansunhyeon, he is not a threat at all since he only has one top-level warrior at best.

“It’s you! You dare touch Hyeonwolmun’s business!”

The eyes of those who confirmed such a disaster rose fiercely.

He guessed the situation by seeing that Cheonhwa was sitting in the seat where the upper lord should have been sitting, instead of the former upper lord.

At best, they were just partners, but the fact that they called the Black Panther Group their workplace was an act that revealed their true intentions of devouring the Black Panther Group in the future, so the impression of the former head of the group standing next to Cheonhwa was distorted, but the bastards didn’t seem to care and immediately drew their swords as if they were going to kill Cheonhwa and get back what was theirs.

He charged at Cheonhwa as if there was no need for conversation.

“Muhihihi!”

“Kiyut!!”

Boom!

Kwajijik!!

However, I also have no intention of talking to the little guy.

There was no need for Cheonhwa or Bukgungyeon to do anything to those guys.

Because Moo-o and Noe-ryeong came out and got rid of the things that were bothering the owner.

Those who rushed at him were either blown away by Mu-o’s headbutt or had their eyes rolled back in their sockets after being fried in Noe-ryung’s brain electricity.

Although they were considered to be among the best in the Hyeonwolmun sect, they collapsed before they could even swing their swords properly.

Rather, the only ones making a lot of noise were Moo-oh and Noe-ryeong, who grumbled as if they had been the ones who had done it first.

“That guy, he broke down the front gate and came in, so he declared war, right? He even pulled out a sword.”

But their treatment did not end there.

Cheonhwa, who had been staring down at the guys who had collapsed, gasping for breath, smiled wickedly and pointed to the broken main gate.

According to the customs of the martial arts world, it would be right to view it as a declaration of war.

If they had broken the signboard like they did at Heukwoongbang, that would have been the most certain, but to break down a perfectly good door and barge in was an act that showed no respect for the other party, and since they even pulled out a sword, it could be seen as a declaration of war.

“Yes. I think it’s okay to look at it that way.”

“Oh my, I’m scared. Do I have no choice but to act in self-defense from now on?”

Of course, if he saw even a shred of power from this side, Hyeonwolmunju would try to back out, saying it was an individual’s deviation, but of course, Cheonhwa was not going to give him that kind of leeway.

I immediately got up from my seat and flew towards the direction where the Hyeonwolmun Gate was.

Kururururung!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

And after a while, the five main buildings of Hyeonwolmun collapsed at the same time, creating a loud noise.

There used to be something called Ahn Soon-hyun’s loser, but it’s gone.

***

Even if a fight broke out, it was not Cheonhwa’s way to destroy the opponent without leaving a single cornerstone behind.

What if they were to pull out and sell everything, down to every single beam and cornerstone?

However, in this conflict with Hyeonwolmun, Cheonhwa displayed excessively great power and overwhelming military force.

It was purely intended as a warning.

This is a warning not only to the Hyeonwolmun, but to all the martial arts sects in Guizhou Province, and further to the Black Sword Alliance.

“Thank you, thank you. I will never think of revenge, I will never covet what belongs to others, and I will live a good life!”

Of course, it is natural that, apart from burning Jangwon to the ground, he received all the wealth and interests that Hyeonwolmun owned in exchange for his life.

“Really? It seems like you’re already thinking of revenge from the moment you said it.”

“No! Absolutely not!”

“No. Get revenge. Please do so. Tell that Black Man or whatever. But if you have less than this next time we meet, then you really have to give up your life?”

“Eek?”

Thanks to that, Cheonhwa threatened the Hyeonwolmun warriors who surprisingly escaped the palace in good health, but it was obvious where they were headed.

Black magic.

They will report this to the Sapha Alliance they joined and ask them to punish Cheonhwa and his group.

Perhaps, in the process, they are naturally expecting to eat up the top of the black panther.

It may not be possible, but even if it were possible, the Black Panthers, who have exclusive trading rights in Yunnan, would not allow the likes of Hyunwolmun to swallow them up.

“Eun-gong. Is it okay if I send them away?”

That’s why Bukgungyeon didn’t criticize Cheonhwa’s actions, but he cautiously asked while looking in the direction they had disappeared.

I thought that if the Black Alliance intervened, things could get quite difficult.

No matter how strong Cheonhwa is, they are a group.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a huge group that controlled half of the martial arts world.

Cheonhwa might ask what half of them are they, excluding himself, but considering the fact that almost all the sects in the Central Plains are members of the Jeongcheon Alliance or the Heukdo Alliance, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that.

Also, for that reason, not only were there many people, but the number of experts was also overwhelming, if not overwhelming.

If they wanted to mobilize, theoretically it would be possible to mobilize over a hundred top-tier masters, and since the strongest sects, such as the Sado-ryeon, were participating, it was possible for masters as powerful as Hwa-gyeong to be mobilized.

Of course, even if he ordered them to, not all of them would move, but even if there were more than two-digit numbers of top-tier masters, or even just a few of the top 100 masters of Sapa, it was clear that it would not be an easy fight.

It’s not that I don’t believe in the power of Heavenly Flower, but I guess that even though it has reached the highest level, it is still unfathomable that Heavenly Flower has not reached the level of Hwagyeong. But even so, it’s the same.

There are many people in the Black Sword Alliance who have reached the level of Hwa-gyeong, and it is known that some of the top-tier warriors of the Sa-pa Hundred Greats have powers close to that of Hwa-gyeong, even if they haven’t reached it, so if they join forces, it’s hard to be sure that even Cheon-hwa will be able to handle it.

“It’s okay. I’m just sending you there to tell you to go and tell them diligently.”

“……yes?”

“I told you. After they beat up a few of them, they won’t attack me. If anything, I’d like it if a strong guy comes… … It’s just annoying to deal with mediocre guys. Hmm, let’s just fight the Black Lord instead of making it a hassle.”

“… … !”

However, Cheonhwa’s thoughts were different.

They respond as if they don’t care how many there are or how strong they are.

He was so confident that he could crush anyone who attacked him that he even hoped to fight against strong opponents.

That way, the little guys won’t get tangled up.

Even Bukgungyeon was speechless for a moment at those outrageous words, but Cheonhwa smiled faintly as he looked at her frozen face.

“But, they probably won’t attack. If they’re thinking things through.”

“What is that… … .”

“At this point, what do you think the Black Alliance or the Heaven Alliance wants the most?”

“What do you want? Perhaps power and influence… … .”

“Yes. That’s right. The only way to increase power is to absorb existing sects. How can we gain strength?”

“Well, it’s about training and elixirs… … Ah!”

In fact, from Cheonhwa’s point of view, it’s a good idea to pounce.

Because I can devour the souls of those who attack me.

However, I thought that was unlikely.

This is because what he ate was the top of the black panther.

They also handle general products such as tea leaves grown in Yunnan, but this is also a place where you can often find things like lingchao and neidan.

“Even though it’s false, everyone thinks that the Black Panthers have exclusive trading rights in Yunnan. It’s not like they can take it away by force, so they wouldn’t be so quick to stir it up. If trade with Yunnan were to be cut off, it would be a loss for them too.”

Those that are elixirs in themselves or materials for elixirs can drastically increase internal energy, easily raise high-level players, or make existing high-level players into transcendent powerhouses, so the Black Panther Top is a place that is difficult for anyone to touch.

This is especially true in a quasi-wartime situation like the present.

Even if I could trample on them and take what they have, I would not foolishly try to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

“Besides, it might not be a lie anymore.”

Furthermore, since the Black Panther Alliance had obtained the certificate of the Southern Manchurian Beast Princess that Cheonhwa had given them and the letter to deliver to him, they would be able to obtain even more elixirs than before, so it was obvious that the moment the Black Panther Alliance or the Heavenly Alliance tried to make a move, the other side would strongly oppose them.

If there was even one person in the Black Panther Alliance who could act as a strategist, it would naturally be better to kick them out than to embrace the ruined Hyeonwolmun and restore relations with the Black Panther Alliance.

Otherwise, all the items handled by the Black Panthers will flow towards Jeongcheonmaeng.

Moreover, the top of the Black Panther was now under the name of Cheon Eum Moon.

You may not know Cheonhwa’s true identity right away, but if you investigate a little, you will find out who he is.

We even decided to openly put the name of Cheonummun on it.

Although Cheonhwa was the only known member of the sect, it was clear that he would not be hasty in making a move since he had already been proven to possess martial arts skills of the highest level, or perhaps even higher, through the martial arts competition.

Even though his exact martial arts skills cannot be measured, he is already evaluated as being at least a second-tier master among the 100 greatest martial arts masters.

Although it looked like he was stepping down and making concessions, he had already defeated Namgung Se-ga, and he was on friendly terms with the Iron Man’s master, Cheolsaja Majin, and the Jang Gang-su-ro 18-chae’s general Jin Ju-gwang. So, it was natural for them to try to win them over and bring them to their side rather than trying to defeat them by force.

It may be a bit concerning that Bukgung Se-ga and Dangmun are showing intimacy, but the fact that there is a difference between the five great families of the old palace and the old palace can also be considered positively.

Besides, perhaps, it might be possible to obtain assistance from the Southern Manchu Palace through the Black Panther.

On the other hand, if you touch them wrongly, you could end up angering them.

They had been living in seclusion since the bloodshed, and although their reputation in the Central Plains was not very good, they were not the type of people who would tolerate those who had messed with their brothers.

Of course, Cheonhwa had no intention of raising her hand for either side.

“If they just see those things, they’ll wag their tails and come running.”

“Certainly, that could be possible.”

Therefore, in order to increase the influence of the Black Panthers, Cheonhwa planned to sell the entire cartload of elixirs he had brought from the Namman Beast Palace himself.

Before coming here, I was thinking of selling through Haomen’s secret shop, but I changed my mind.

Because it seemed clear at first glance that there would be enormous profits to be made.

He already had a lot of money, and there were only a few treasures left to recreate, but the more money the better.

All of that had been in Cheonhwa’s mind since the moment he decided to take over the Black Panther.

And one more thing.

There was still a big gain to be made.
