Chapter 149 : The Merchant Guild's Treachery
The Sword Immortal asked with a face that showed he didn't understand.
"Why is that…?"
"Because there is no need to kill him now. There is no need for a combined attack either. The One-Style Sword Demon will die by my hand in the finals anyway."
Gu Hui suspected that the person disguised as the One-Style Sword Demon was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society.
To go so far as to kill the One-Style Sword Demon and disguise himself as him, there was a high probability that he was a master of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Е̌nū m̄а
Perhaps the Heaven and Earth Society also intended to take the prize of the winner, the Thunder and Lightning Blade.
If the man was indeed a martial artist of the Heaven and Earth Society, then he also had to kill him.

He thought there was no need to join forces with the Sword Immortal.
No matter how strong the man was, he could not be his opponent.
Gu Hui had such an arrogant heart.
The Sword Immortal sighed and said.
Ë n̄umа
"You will die by his hand…."
"He is no match for me. So don't worry. Don't do anything and just wait. I will kill him myself in the finals."
"……."
The Sword Immortal had no choice but to believe Gu Hui.

He earnestly hoped that he would punish the man in the finals.
Gu Hui asked.
En̆uṁ а
"Where are you staying now, senior?"
"I am staying at an inn in Hailar…."
"Although Hailar is wide, it will be dangerous if you happen to run into him. Instead, please stay at the separate building of the merchant guild where I am staying. Please treat your injuries there as well. Guild Leader Wi, is that alright?"
Wi Ha-gon smiled and nodded.
"Ah, yes. Of course. It would be an honor if the Sword Immortal elder stayed at our merchant guild."
Gu Hui planned to help the Sword Immortal, with whom he had a connection in the past.

If he left him like this and he happened to meet the man disguised as the One-Style Sword Demon again, the Sword Immortal would not be able to escape death.
For his safety, and to help him treat his injuries, he planned to take him to the Pyeongcheon Merchant Guild.
The Sword Immortal felt grateful.
It was the first time they had met, but not only did he call him senior and treat him with respect, but he also showed him kindness.
As expected, not all martial artists of the Unorthodox Faction had evil dispositions.
The Sword Immortal thought so and smiled gently.
Ѐ ṅ um а.ǐ d
"If you would do so… I will not forget this favor. Then I will be in your debt until your final match is over. You said your name was Guild Leader Wi? Thank you for letting me stay at your merchant guild."
"Not at all. Please rest and recuperate comfortably."

Thus, the Sword Immortal also came to stay at the Pyeongcheon Merchant Guild.

A night with a clear moonlight.
Guyang Baek, standing by the window, looked outside and muttered.
Е_ňů mä . і̂.d̈
"You rat-like bastard… you're getting on my nerves."
He remembered the old man he had missed a while ago. He was a man with great sword skills.
He felt uneasy because he had missed that old man.
If the man went around blabbering that his identity was not the One-Style Sword Demon, it would become a headache.

Guyang Baek resolved that if he met the man, he would definitely cut his throat then.

Gu Hui, who was sleeping on the bed in the middle of the night.
In the silence, a centipede-like insect stealthily crawled in through the crack in the door. It had two heads. It was one-third the size of a centipede.
The insect, which was crawling on the floor, crawled up the bed and then advanced towards Gu Hui's nostrils.
Right at that moment, Gu Hui's right hand snatched the insect's body.
- Teop!
"Kadeuk… kadeuk!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The insect that made a bizarre sound.
Gu Hui saw the appearance of the insect with two heads and immediately recognized its identity.
'It's a twin-headed sucking worm.'
The twin-headed sucking worm was a type of gu poison that parasitized the human body.
The twin-headed sucking worm, which entered the human body through the nostrils, reached the brain and gnawed at it.
A person infected with the twin-headed sucking worm would slowly die, feeling a hellish pain.
Ên̂ü.m̀ а̃
Because of its special appearance with two heads, anyone who knew about gu poison could easily tell that it was a twin-headed sucking worm just by looking at its appearance.
Gu Hui calmed the twin-headed sucking worm with the Spirit Command Art. And he put it in his pocket.

Gu Hui, who got up from his seat and came out, could see a masked man standing in the hallway.
The Sword Immortal, who had felt his presence, had also come out to the hallway.
Gu Hui pulled the man's body with the technique of levitating objects with his mind and then snatched his throat.
- Teop! Kwaak…
E n ú m̊ӑ
"Keok… kwek… eo-eok…."
The masked man was suffocating. His body could not move. A dark blue energy was constricting his entire body.
He felt the fear of death.
As Gu Hui loosened the grip of his hand, the man's throat was cleared.

"Who are you?"
The masked man answered as he was asked, to live.

"Keulreok… s-save me… I was just doing as I was told… I am the vice-leader of the Black Market, No Ji-sim…."
Gu Hui remembered the Black Market that the young master of the Yin Wind Demonic Family, Ho Ok-cheong, had mentioned.
"Was it the leader of the Black Market who ordered this?"
"N-no… the leader does not know of this fact…. This was something I did under the instigation of the Merchant Guild…."
"The Merchant Guild?"
The Sword Immortal, who was listening on one side, opened his mouth.

"The Merchant Guild is a group created by merchants with great financial power."
Among the merchants who had joined the Merchant Guild, there was an acquaintance the Sword Immortal knew. So he knew about the Merchant Guild.
"Why are they aiming for me?"
"Well…."
The vice-leader said.
"All the merchants of the Merchant Guild have bet money on the One-Style Sword Demon's victory… they do not doubt the One-Style Sword Demon's victory, but since there is a 'what if', they intended to assassinate the great warrior before the finals were held…. I had no choice but to do their bidding…."
E nú mâ.
Gu Hui's gaze turned cold.
"So it was the Merchant Guild's doing…."

Gu Hui had no intention of letting go of the ones who had dared to try to assassinate him.
"Where is the Merchant Guild?"
"Th-they are staying at the lodging provided by the Black Market…. I don't know the exact location either…. The leader of the Black Market knows…."
Gu Hui released the man's throat.
Еnum̌ā
"Guide me, to the Black Market."
"...I understand…."
The Sword Immortal thought that a big incident had occurred when he saw Gu Hui's gaze filled with killing intent.
If that fellow who had joined the Merchant Guild was also there, his life would be in danger.

The Sword Immortal said.
"I will go with you."

"Senior, please rest. I can go alone."
"Haha… how can I do that? I want to earn my keep. I will help you."
"It's fine… well, do as you please."
They immediately headed to the Black Market.

The Black Market was located in the red-light district of Hailar.

[Seoha Giru]
The vice-leader of the Black Market, who was standing in front of the giru, said to Gu Hui.
"Th-this is the place…."
"A giru?"
"If you go inside and tell a gisaeng that you have come to find the 'Black Market', she will guide you to the base of the Black Market…. Now please save me…."
The tip of Gu Hui's finger flashed.
W̃ е̃b̆ n̂о̆ v е̇ l Е̊ n u m а́_
The man's body, which had been acupunctured, hardened like a stone.
Gu Hui, who took out the twin-headed sucking worm from his pocket, put it into the vice-leader's nostrils.

- Seureureu…
The vice-leader's face turned pale.
The twin-headed sucking worm began to crawl up to his brain.
'N-no… ah….'
Ёṅ.u m̊ а̄
Soon, the twin-headed sucking worm would gnaw at the vice-leader's brain. There was no one in the world who could endure that terrible pain.
There was no choice but to commit suicide to reduce the pain….
Gu Hui said in a cool tone.
"Since you tried to kill me with gu poison, you too will die by gu poison."

Gu Hui, who left the man who was rolling on the floor and screaming, entered the giru.
The Sword Immortal looked at the vice-leader pitifully and then followed Gu Hui.

When he told a gisaeng that he had come to find the Black Market, she guided him to the basement.
The size of the basement was about seventy zhang in radius.
Thirty-odd martial artists were standing guard. Most of them had first-rate skills, and one captain had peak-level skills.
The captain of the guards blocked Gu Hui's path.
"How may I help you?"
"I have come to see the leader of the Black Market."

"Please tell me the reason for your visit."
"I came to ask where the members of the Merchant Guild are."
"Why is that…?"
"To kill them."
The captain of the guards' gaze changed.
"If that is the reason, I cannot tell you. I cannot let you meet the leader either. Please go back."
Е̂ nû m̆ а.і́ḋ
"You will regret it if you block me."
With those words, Gu Hui moved his steps.

Then, the captain of the guards' single fist was quickly extended and aimed for Gu Hui's face.
- Shik!
Gu Hui, who turned his head and dodged the man's fist strike, extended his index finger. The index finger pierced the captain of the guards' side.
- Peogeok!
Е̌ n û ṁ а. ĭ d̊
The ribs were crushed, and blood was gushing from the pierced side.
"Ugh!"
The staggering captain of the guards.
He, who was about to thrust his fist strike again, suddenly stopped his movement, startled by the terrifying killing intent that Gu Hui was emitting.

All thirty guard warriors stopped their movements with their eyes wide open.
A huge killing intent like a tidal wave pressed down on the warriors' mental strength. The warriors, who felt a huge pressure, knelt on the floor.
Eńûm̈ а̂_.і̇.d
They, who had suffered internal injuries, vomited blood from their mouths.
"Keo-eok…."
"Kwek… kreup…."
The captain of the guards was not at the point of vomiting blood, but he was trembling with a pale face.
'H-how can this be….'
A light of astonishment appeared in the Sword Immortal's eyes.

'To make all the martial artists kneel with just killing intent… this is the first time I have felt such a terrifying killing intent….'
It was an extreme killing intent that made even himself get goosebumps.
Even his friend, the One-Style Sword Demon, could not emit such a killing intent.
The Sword Immortal now realized.
The fact that Gu Hui was much stronger than he had thought.
Gu Hui leisurely passed the fallen men.
W̆е̌ b̄ ñ о̀ v е̌ l Ӗnů ḿ á
Soon, Gu Hui, who had entered the office.
Inside, a 70-year-old man with a thin build was sitting on a chair.

He was the leader of the Black Market, Yu Jeong-hak.
Gu Hui was in a state where he had withdrawn his killing intent.
The leader let out a groan and said.
"It is an honor to meet you in person like this…. I am the leader of the Black Market, Yu Jeong-hak…."
Е̊nū m̃ å
It was a Yu Jeong-hak who had watched Gu Hui's match at the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival before.
However, it was a mystery.
Why had Wang Jeong come to the Black Market? With such a scary gaze….
Gu Hui said.

"Leader, did you also participate in the act committed by the Merchant Guild?"
"Huh…? What act did the Merchant Guild commit?"
Е̃ n u̇ m а̌ .і d̆
Yu Jeong-hak, with a face that showed he didn't know at all.
Gu Hui said.
"The vice-leader of the Black Market, No Ji-sim, under the instigation of the Merchant Guild, tried to kill me by poisoning me with gu poison. Is this something you don't know?"
Yu Jeong-hak, with his eyes wide open.
"Huk… th-the vice-leader conspired with the Merchant Guild and committed such an act…? Ah… I really didn't know… I'm sorry…."
As the vice-leader had said, the leader seemed not to know.

"Alright. I'll believe you. Then where are the members of the Merchant Guild now?"
"The customer's information… I cannot tell you…."
Gu Hui asked in a cool tone.
"Is the customer's information more important than your life?"
"……."
"There are many ways to find out even if you don't tell me. It will just take some time. What will you do? Will you choose to protect the customer's information and give up your life?"
Ẁе bn̊ о̄ v̊e l. En̊u m а
Saying so, Gu Hui raised his energy at the tip of his index finger.
A dark blue energy soared like a flame. Its length was a staggering 6 chi.

The astonished Yu Jeong-hak. His pupils trembled violently.
'T-to create a sword energy with just one finger…!'
It was an art he had never heard of or seen.
Yu Jeong-hak, who felt fear, eventually broke his will.

"Th-they are staying at a mountain villa located 6 li away from here…."
"Guide the way. I will follow."
"...I understand…."
Gu Hui, following the leader, left the office.

The Sword Immortal had a blank expression.
'Wh-what did I just see…?'
Ẁ е̃b̆ nо vӗ l Еṅ ũm a
The Sword Immortal doubted his eyes.
Energy had soared from Wang Jeong's index finger. It had then condensed to the extreme and taken the form of a sword energy.
He had created a tangible sword energy with just one finger, without the medium of a sword.
It was clearly the heart sword, a legendary sword art.
'The heart sword… the heart sword…!'
The Sword Immortal revised his evaluation of Gu Hui once more.

The martial might of Wang Jeong he had thought of was the tip of the iceberg.
He now realized.
Why Wang Jeong had not tried to face the One-Style Sword Demon with a combined attack, but had tried to face him in the finals.
It must be because he was that confident in his martial arts.
'I am surprised many times today.'
Thinking so, the Sword Immortal followed Gu Hui.

The inner chamber of the mountain villa.

Eight men were sitting around a circular table.
They were the merchants who had joined the Merchant Guild. They all possessed a financial power that was one of the best in the region.
The stout middle-aged man, the leader of the Hogyeong Merchant Guild and the leader of the Merchant Guild, Wang In-gu, twisted his lips and said.
"Hehe, the job must be done by now. Now there is not even a single variable left."
E̊n̈û m̆ а.і d
The leader of the Daeheung Merchant Guild, Chae Jeong-mun, said with a worried expression.
"What if the vice-leader of the Black Market fails? Wang Jeong will not stand still…."
"There is no way the vice-leader, who has a meticulous personality, will fail. Even if he fails, what is there to worry about? We have the 'elder'. As long as the elder is with us, there is no need to worry about Wang Jeong's retaliation."
Everyone agreed.

The members of the Merchant Guild believed in the strength of the 'elder'.
The Hogyeong Merchant Guild's leader, Wang In-gu, continued.

"We just have to wait. For the dividend that will fall when the One-Style Sword Demon wins. Hehe…."
A light of greed appeared in the merchants' eyes.
It was then.
- Kwaang!!
The door was shattered, and three men entered the inner chamber.
They were Gu Hui, the leader of the Black Market, and the Sword Immortal.
