<-- Episode 96: Chapter 7 For those who dream of the sky, blood and tears are luxuries (2) -->
The black market, as the word suggests, was a market held secretly. Because there were many items on the market that could not be released with pride, the opening times and locations were arbitrary. Therefore, it was safe to say that there was almost no way for the general public to access the black market unless they knew the information in advance.
It was very unusual for a black market to be opened in Okgye. Because it is close to Kunming, the capital city, you can obtain most goods without having to go to the black market. However, as the flow of merchants has recently stopped, most goods have become scarce. Then, the black market suddenly opened up, giving merchants some breathing room.
Merchants did not wonder where their goods came from. What is important to them is that they can make a living by selling goods. Because it opened so suddenly and exploded so quickly, most people didn’t even know the black market existed.
Late at night, a group of people appeared in the vacant lot of Hyeonmu-ro with about a dozen carriages. They began stacking the wagon load on one side of the clearing. When all the luggage on the wagon was piled up, merchants began to gather in the vacant lot one by one, as if they had made an appointment.
The merchants began to take a closer look at the luggage piled up in the vacant lot. There was a wide variety of products, including high-quality silk, ceramics, medicine, and weapons. Most of them were hard to find in Yunnan Province.
Those who opened the black market said nothing. They sometimes talked among themselves in soft words, but their voices were so low that they were hard to hear.
After a while, merchants began to gather in the center of the vacant lot. They knew from past experiences that the real bargaining begins now.
A man who appeared to be the leader of those who opened the black market stepped forward. Everyone’s eyes turned to the man.
“I’m sure you checked all the items. All items are flawless. The price is the same as last time. In fact, people please come forward.”
The merchants murmured at the man’s words, looked at each other, and began to come forward one by one.
Among the merchants, a merchant who looked particularly small asked the man.
“It’s really a flawless item, right? If there is any problem… … .”
“If it bothers you, just don’t buy it. “Because there are many people who want to buy it.”
“It seems difficult to tell.”
The man fell silent in response to the merchant’s question. Instead, a violent energy flowed from his body.
“I will not be taking any more questions.”
“But isn’t it okay to answer that much? “This is something we do at great risk.”
“If it bothered you, I would have told you not to buy it, right?”
“It seems like there is some trouble. After all, it wasn’t something obtained through a proper process.”
At that moment, life emanated from the man’s body. A red glow momentarily flashed in the eyes of the man glaring at the merchant.
“Who are you?”
“That’s something I’d rather ask. “Who are you?”
Despite the man’s life, the merchant actually smiled brightly.
“You are not an ordinary merchant.”
“It seems you are no ordinary merchant either.”
The merchant did not lose his composure despite living with the overwhelming force of a man. The merchant’s attitude stimulated the man’s heart.
Other men gathered around the leader man one after another. The same vitality as that of men flowed from their bodies. The other merchants sensed an unusual atmosphere due to their bloody momentum and took a step or two back.
But the small merchant still looked at the men with a smile on his face.
Sreung!
The men all took out their weapons. Still, the merchant did not take a single step back. Rather, he crossed his arms and looked at the men with amusement.
‘no way?’
The head man sensed something strange and shouted.
“Kill everyone and fold the board!”
“ancient!”
The men responded and began attacking the merchants.
“Ahh!”
“help me!”
The merchants screamed and ran away, but the men pursued them relentlessly and killed them. As screams erupted and blood ran rampant, the hall instantly turned into chaos.
Even though he caused a hellish scene to unfold, the merchant who provoked the leader did not blink an eye.
Sigh!
“Die!”
The leader man’s sword flew towards the merchant. At that moment, the merchant raised his hand and blocked his sword.
Kang!
It looked like he had blocked it with his bare hands, but sparks flew out along with a metallic sound. The head man was startled by the opposing force felt in the hand holding the sword.
“you?”
At that moment, the merchant huffed and rubbed his face with his hand. Then the thin film peeled off, revealing a face completely different from before.
He was a particularly impressive man, with pale skin that looked as if he had never seen the sun in his life, unusually red lips, and eyes that glowed as coldly as a poisonous snake.
“Bat cotton ball?”
The head man’s eyes wavered.
It was not because of the fact that the merchant was wearing a bast mask, but because of his true appearance hidden in the bast mask.
The man who took off his bast mask smiled coldly.
“Now you’ve caught the tail. “You bastards.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Yulgyeongcheon.”
“Surely Seolpungdae?”
The eyes of the head man, Yun Moon-cheon, wavered. He quickly looked around. Then, without knowing when they appeared, about twenty men wearing white war guns were seen completely surrounding the black market.
Seolpungdae (Snow Wind Pavilion).
It is a military organization directly under the hegemony of Jo Cheon-woo. It was an organization created mainly to handle things that could not be revealed to the world, and only Jo Tian-yu and Ye Ping were able to move them.
Not only are the individual members of Seolpungdae made up of masters of the highest level, but they have also been working together for a long time, so they were able to communicate to the extent that they could tell each other’s intentions just by looking at each other’s eyes.
They were so cruel that there is a saying that not even an ant could survive where Seolpungdae passed. Those who knew even a little about Seolpungdae feared them because they were so ruthless that they would kill everyone, regardless of whether they were women or children, for the sake of their mission.
Yul Gyeong-cheon was the leader of Seolpungdae.
He is an iron-blooded warrior who has led the Seolpungdae and achieved numerous achievements over the past five years. However, people who knew him called him the master of evil spirits.
Yun Moon-cheon was also confident in his strength, but if the opponent was Yul Gyeong-cheon, it was a different story. He was not called the Great Demon Lord for nothing.
“damn!”
Yun Mun-cheon hurriedly backed away with an insult, but Yul Gyeong-cheon did not just sit back and watch.
“Do you think you can escape?”
Pot!

Yul Gyeong-cheon rushed towards Yun Mun-cheon, flapping his war guns. No matter how fast she backed away, she could never be faster than rushing forward. Yul Gyeong-cheon caught up with Yun Mun-cheon in an instant.
“Tsk!”
Yun Mun-cheon swung his sword and aimed at Yul Gyeong-cheon’s neck.
Paralock!
Even as he watched the blade burrow like a poisonous snake, Yul Gyeong-cheon did not look nervous at all. Rather, he grabbed Yun Mun-cheon’s sword body with his white-gloved hand.
The gloves he was wearing were made of Cheonjamsa and were not even scratched by attacks from a decent sword.
When Yul Gyeong-cheon tightened his hands, Yun Mun-cheon’s sword broke in two.
“damn!”
Yun Mun-cheon threw away his broken sword and tried to attack with his fists, but Yul Gyeong-cheon’s movements were beyond his imagination.
Before Yun Mun-cheon could react, Yul Gyeong-cheon’s palm struck his chest.
bang!
“Oops!”
With a groan of frustration, Mooncheon Yun rolled around on the floor. Yun Wen-cheon struggled and tried to get up, but her limbs had no strength.
“It won’t help. “When you are heavily involved in an empty line, your muscles become disconnected and you cannot use much of your strength.”
Yul Gyeong-cheon laughed at Yun Mun-cheon and looked around. Suddenly, the hall became quiet. Seolpungdae almost defeated the men who opened the black market.
As expected, Seolpungdae was a spectacular sight. But at that moment, something happened that no one expected.
Suddenly, the men who were overpowered fell to the ground, coughing up blood.
“It’s poison! Suppress their blood!”
The soldier of Seolpungdae, who belatedly realized the situation, shouted, but it was already too late. The men who swallowed the poison were dead with their faces turning black. It was truly a terrible poison.
‘no way?’
Yul Gyeong-cheon quickly looked at Yun Mun-cheon.
Peeing!
At that moment, a sharp sound echoed through the air. Yul Gyeong-cheon instinctively lowered his head. Just in time, an arrow grazed his hair and stuck on the floor.
“Who are you?”
Yul Gyeong-cheon, who barely avoided the arrow, pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist. At that moment, three more arrows flew.
Kakakang!
Yul Gyeong-cheon swung his sword and struck down all the arrows. However, Yul Gyeong-cheon’s expression was not very bright.
“dare!”
Mooncheon Yoon, who should have been lying on the floor, was nowhere to be seen. In that short period of time, someone rescued him.
Yul Gyeong-cheon gritted his teeth.
“Do you think you can escape?”
As Yul Gyeong-cheon ran into the dark street, Seolpungdae followed him. An untimely chase took place in the middle of the night.
The black market where Seolpungdae had left was immersed in silence. Most of the merchants who came to buy goods at the black market were either dead in the fight or lying on the ground with serious wounds, and all the men who opened the black market were also dead, reminiscent of a huge tomb.
“Whoa! It’s terrible. “There is absolutely no separate slaughterhouse.”
A skinny man who appeared to be in his late twenties shook his head. Those who came in with him were Jin Mu-won and Kwak Mun-jeong. Kwak Mun-jeong looked at the man in his late twenties with a look of boredom.
‘How many times does your face change in a day?’
The skinny man was none other than Cheongin. Kwak Mun-jeong was unable to adapt to his new face.
Jin Mu-won looked around with a sombre expression. Asura hell unfolds before your eyes.
In the process of suppressing the men who opened the black market, the safety of the merchants was not considered at all. This fact was proven by the fact that more merchants were killed by Seolpungdae than by the men who opened the black market.
The blue man looked at Jin Muwon.
“What do we do? “I think it’s a step too late.”
He looked apologetic. This was because he felt like he was late in getting the information.
Instead of answering, Jin Mu-won picked up the iron poem that had fallen on the floor.
“Red Demon Legion.”
Jin Mu-won had already encountered people who used iron poetry twice, so he recognized them right away.
“Red Demon Legion?”
It was the blue man who expressed doubt about a word he had never heard before.
“Hey, hey?”
At that moment, Jin Mu-won flew into the darkness. Cheongin and Kwak Mun-jeong hurriedly followed behind him.
“Holy shit! Hey, don’t people’s words sound like words?”
