Chapter 656

Hwa-Um County.

Now, now! Lead it all in!

You cannot drop even a single thing! They are all precious!

Since the money being given is nice, dont damage a single item! You all get it?

Do not worry!

There was a huge mountain of luggage piled on the road to Mount Hua. Then, sturdy men began to climb the mountain path with determined looks, carrying large bundles of luggage one by one.

Can we all get this done by today?

I think were short on people.

Ugh. This is supposed to reach there by today.

The merchants, nervous and forgetting to guard their expressions, stomped their feet.

Is everything all right?

Young master!

At that moment, Hwang Jongi approached and inquired, prompting the other merchants to bow their heads.

Hwang Jongi, who acknowledged their greetings with a light nod, looked up at the piled luggage and asked.

How is it?

The supplies are all ready. But it isnt easy to transport all these goods up. for new novels

We did hire a large number of laborers, but there arent many who are capable of carrying the luggage to the Mount Hua Sect. This job requires them to be strong and fit

Hmm.

Hwang Jongi stroked his chin as he looked at the mountain of luggage that still had to be moved, and one of the merchants asked.

Before, when goods were brought here, the people of Mount Hua would come and move them, but this time

Tsk.

Before they could even finish speaking, Hwang Jongi frowned and clicked his tongue. The merchants all stopped at this.

That is because the Mount Hua sect always took care of our situation. What kind of merchant moves goods only to the middle and tells their customer to take the rest of the way?

t-that.

Even if that is how it worked until now, it cannot continue like this. The people of Mount Hua also dont have as much time on their hands as in the past. Arent they a sect after all?

Yes, right. Of course.

It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the Mount Hua of the past when they began to trade, and the Mount Hua of now were practically different sects.

The merchants could attest to this, having observed the disciples of the Mount Hua sect moving goods every time. If today were the first transaction, the disciples of Mount Hua would have descended to move the goods while grumbling and upset, but they would still do it.

But the status of Mount Hua has continued to rise.

The newly enlightened merchants looked up at Mount Hua with newfound interest. Who would have imagined that a sect, which seemed like it would close its doors and collapse, would end up this strong in just a couple of years?

I think I can see how outstanding the merchant Lords insight was.

Right.

Hwang Jongi nodded his head but decided to keep his nagging thoughts to himself.

I will have to think a little bit about whether my fathers insight was special or if it was the insight of Mount Huas Divine Dragon that was special.

While the others noted the growth of Mount Hua, Hwang Jongi was seeing something else. Who would have imagined that the young Taoist he met a couple of years back could shake the world so much?

Fathers true insight was in recognizing the potential in people.

Hwang Jongi only thought that Chung Myung was unique, a bit out of the ordinary, but never considered him to be special.

But since his father had recognized the special qualities and didnt hesitate to invest heavily in Mount Hua, which was failing, the current Eunha Merchants Union came to hold great deals in hand.

The money they would receive in exchange for supplying all the accumulated goods was shocking, but compared to the money they received from the trade led by Mount Hua, werent the other dealings all minor?

Listen carefully now.

Yes, young master.

From now on, as much as you can, try to avoid taking up the time of the Mount Hua sect. You must be aware that we need to get used to it. It isnt the duty of the merchant to demand something which cannot be requested elsewhere to be done here in the name of friendship.

I-I will keep that in mind.

Merchant Yu.

Yes!

There was news that drove a wedge into that.

-Mount Hua struck a blow to the other sects!

-Mount Hua joins hands with the Tang family, Beast Palace, and the North Sea Ice Palace to create this new alliance called the Heavenly Friends Alliance.

-A ceremony is being scheduled to announce its name in Shaanxi, Mount Hua!

Those who heard that for the first time laughed.

But when the same thing was said 2-3 times, people who had seen the existence shine could no longer laugh this off.

A new alliance? What does this mean? Is the Murim Alliance not active?

It isnt the Murim Alliance but the Heavenly Friends Alliance! Isnt it said that it isnt a place where the Nine Great Sects and Five Great Families come together, but Mount Hua and the Tang families are joining hands and coming under a new alliance?

Did something like this ever happen before?

No! It didnt! In the first place, this is an alliance newly formed and wasnt Mount Hua actually in the Nine Great Sects once?

R-right.

It is odd for those in the Nine Great Sects and Five Great Families to create a separate union!

T-then what happens?

Do you people realize?

People couldnt even figure out how to react to this.

Sichuan Tang family, the lord of Sichuan, the Beast Palace lord, the ruler of Yunnan, and the North Sea Ice Palaces king. Who could have thought that the Mount Hua sect, which was right now the most famous sect in the world, could form such an alliance?

No one could have predicted what kind of impact this would have on the Nine Great Sects.

Then are they turning into enemies of the Nine Great Sects?

Y-You brat! What makes them the enemy if they form an alliance? Its just a matter of belonging there.

B-But if you arent going to do that, there is no need to form an alliance. I guess it is a little odd.

It would be amazing if those sects all gathered together, but how can they be compared to the old sects? The Nine Sects? And from what I know, Mount Hua also sent a message to the Nine Great Sects. If they were going to be enemies, would they have invited them?

True, but

But most of them felt it.

This wasnt a simple thing.

Will the Nine Great Sects be silent?

Then will the Tang family be excluded from the Five Great Families?

If two of the Five Palaces join in, what will happen to the others? The Potala Palace isnt too far, but it doesnt like involving itself in Kangho, so what will the South Palace do?

Recently, Kangho was like a silent lake.

But Mount Hua continued to throw stones into that quiet lake, letting the ripples grow bigger and making the waves.

Well, then, when is the ceremony going to be held?

Around the end of this month.

This months end? Isnt it too early?

Right.

T-this cannot be the time to talk anymore!

Where are you going?

To Shaanxi!

Uh? To Shaanxi?

The opening ceremony, but they wont kick out the people who came to witness it, right? It could be a historic moment. I need to see this with my own eyes!

You want to go that far?

Do not think about stopping me! I am going!

It was as if Mount Hua was taking a huge step into its ever-growing reputation.

Even those who didnt care in response to the rapidly changing situation, and those who did all recognized it for sure.

The balance of power was being shaken little by little.

The fact that the order held in Kangho began to shake once again after the war with the Demonic Sect.

Even words held power. The news that had been spreading quietly spread like wildfire at some point and soon turned into a big storm that began to sweep the central plains.

No one could easily predict how far this raging typhoon stirred up by Mount Hua would take Kangho.
