Chapter 59: Divine Sword Of King Shura (2) (2/2)

Oh lord!

I first thought that he created it as a decoration. However, I never saw Baek Pyo create anything nor did I hear anything about him doing something like that as a hobby.

Did he hide the Divine Sword of King Shura there?

***

After getting a hundred thousand nyang from the bank, I went to one of the information merchants.

Since this was the headquarter of the Murim Alliance there were numerous Information Merchant Guilds here.

Unlike before they were now more open to the public as they were in compet.i.tion with one another, so it would be easy to find one.

However the place that I went to was the Heavenly Net Organization. It was the place that I went before in order to find Kal Sa Ryang, the Unleakable Tavern.

The reason that I had come here was to buy some information on the man who was with Sa Ma Chun. From the feeling that I got yesterday, he didn’t seem like an ordinary guard.

Sa Ma Chun visited the Wind Tavern with only a single guard, meaning he was someone who was close to Sa Ma Chun as well as a hidden expert. Thus, I had a feeling that Sa Ma Chun was going to order that man to do something.

I didn’t think that this is a bad investment, since I can find out about the man who was close to Sa Ma Chun. Investigating Sa Ma Chun directly might have be very difficult; however, investigating his men was another story. Since these information merchants were competing with one another they had already done some digging, and had the information that I wanted.

It cost three thousand nyang. It was a high price for a martial artist but considering he was a subordinate of the Chancellor, the price was high.

After collecting the information, I went back to the Wind Tavern

When I arrived theren, Baek Pyo had just opened up.

“So you really did come again!”

“Oh, did I come a bit too early?”

“No, we are just opening up. Welcome!”

“Please understand. I like the feeling of wind coming out of my alcohol.”

“Haha, it’s my first time hearing something like that. Wind coming out of your alcohol?”

How could one feel a wind coming out of their alcohol? It was because of Baek Pyo. When I looked at him I got the feeling of light breeze crossing the wide Central Plain.

“Please come in.”

At that time I saw Baek Pyo remove something from the door. Although I pretended not to see it, I knew what it was.

It was a commonly used bug called a Night Beetle. It was a bug that was only awake at night and made a noise when an intruder came near it. It was mainly used during night guard duty since it was a good alert system.

After going in I went to the place that I always sat.

“I am sorry since we are just opening up.”

“I should be sorry for coming so early.”

“Haha, I would be rich having a customer like yourself.”

“Haha,  then i’ll come here every day so that I can make you rich.”

“Ha ha ha” Baek Pyo laughed with a good mood. “Please, wait a moment.”

“Don’t mind me. I’ll just sit here and enjoy the view.”

“Please.”

This place truly has an enjoyable scenery. The breeze felt as if it was going to take you to another place.

It even gave me the feeling of wanting to live in at such a place.

Maybe Baek Pyo had always planned on living in such a place after his days as the Chief Guard were over.

“Where does your family live?”

“They live right behind the store. Since my child is still young, my wife is unable to help me.”

“Oh, so that how it was.”

I understood his worries since I knew almost everything about him.

Others might underestimate his strength, but I knew how strong he was. As I always said, ‘If you want to have a long life in Kang Ho, you must hide your true strength.’

The people who took this most to heart were the members of the Fierce Guard Sect.

He was someone who once was the greatest bodyguard. The man who had once stood up to the combined attack of Black Heaven Palace members and the Seven Evil Monsters.

Others might believe that Seven Evil Monsters were just another seven members from the Thirteen Demons Alliance, but they are mistaken. Those seven monsters, no those seven witches were so skilled in their craft that many members of the Murim Alliance had fallen under their spell. However, he was someone who was able to hold off all seven of them himself. That was the sort of person Baek Pyo was.

However, what I was worried about was his family. The stronger you were, the more likely it was that the enemy would attack at your weak points. These people would do something like this since they were truly shameless.

My gaze once again turned towards the decorations on the wall.

In my past life, I had a really close connection with the King Shura.

It is said that a divine sword will recognize its master and understand its masters’ feeling. I too had that sort of connection to King Shura. When I was mad, it was also mad. When I was happy, it was happy with me. Thus, since our emotions resonated with each other, our attacks became that much stronger.

If it was like before I could give it some of my ki, and it will react to it. Since I was in the body of Byuk Lee Dan I didn’t know if this would work. However, as I still practiced the Divine Protection Technique I thought it was worth a shot.

When Baek Pyo left the shop for a second to take the trash out, I quickly got close to the sword and sent it a small amount of my ki.

The next moment the sword resonated at my touch, and I knew the truth.

It truly was the Divine Sword of King Shura! He had hidden the King Shura inside the decoration!

At first, I was baffled, speechless even. Why did he hide it in such an open place?

However, I soon understood his intent. Since it was more important than his life, he didn’t want to entrust it to anyone else nor did he want to bury it somewhere. So the best place to hide it was where he could see it.

This wasn’t an ordinary enemy, and Baek Pyo would give his life to protect the sword.

How must I proceed with this?
