Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 359
“Can you please leave us alone?”
“So, what would you do?”
Nam Jamyong’s face was twisted.
If he could, he wanted to create chaos. Whether it is excellent or not, the fact that Mount Hua’s swordsmanship takes place in the heart of Xian has symbolic significance.
But there is no stopping it.
It is not a big risk to keep an eye on Mount Hua’s subsidiary sect because it is a subsidiary sect of the Southern Edge Sect. Because Mount Hua has a face, they can’t be bothered to get involved in the affairs of the subsidiary sect. The intervention of the Main Sect can be minimized as long as they do not use their hands directly.
But this is a Mount Hua event, not a Huayin Sect event.
He knew, even if he couldn’t see it, that as long as the people who came forward were Mount Hua Sect disciples and the organizer of this event was the Elder of Mount Hua, he couldn’t bother them.
‘Damn it. If only Southern Edge Sect hadn’t gone into Bongmun!’
They wouldn’t ever have such an event in this Xian!
“But don’t you think we should try to stop them?”
Nam Jamyong answered someone’s question in an irritated voice.
“How great would Mount Hua’s swordsmanship be? There is no reason to be tempted since we all have lived by Southern Edge Sect’s sword. It would be nice if they didn’t get shamed for nothing!”
Nam Jamyong glared at Mount Hua’s disciples as if he wanted to take a look.
‘Is it Righteous Sword?’
He’s heard the nickname and name a million times.
The man who defeated Jin Geum Ryong, who is expected to become the next Sect Leader of Southern Edge Sect, and who destroyed the sect’s reputation.
‘But he’s just a rising star.’
He may be better than his peers, but how good will he be? He’s just getting started.
But when he saw Baek Chun with his chin slightly raised, he couldn’t help but admire him.
Nam Jamyong rolled up his sleeves nervously, frustrated.
“Draw the sword!”
As Baek Chun shouted in the lead, Mount Hua’s disciples drew their swords in unison.
The actions fit together perfectly, as if a single person were performing them. The simple movements demonstrated how well the Mount Hua disciples had trained.
“Oh!”
“Wow!”
And the response was immediate.
Even those who were not familiar with martial arts felt the greatness of this coordinated movement.
Mount Hua’s disciples took the upper stance in unison. In the lead, Baek Chun moved his sword slowly.
“Six-Fold Combo!”
At the command, Mount Hua’s disciples all performed the martial art of the Six-Fold Combo Sword at once.
“It’s nice!”
“Hoho. It looks great.”
The appearance of Baek Chun with a white headband on his forehead had the power to make the onlookers nod their heads.
“You mean Righteous Sword?”
“They say he’s the great disciple of Mount Hua’s second-class disciples.”
“Then one day he’ll be the Sect Leader.”
Curious eyes.
And gazes full of anticipation.
Receiving all that in one body, Baek Chun firmly commanded.
“Solar eclipse!” (일식)
Mount Hua’s disciples stepped forward in unison and swung their swords.
Paang!
Although it was a place to show off swords, there is no such thing as just roughly showing off Mount Hua. As if in training, the sword with all its power generated a gale and pushed the surrounding air away.
The sudden wind blew, and those who watched were startled and retreated.
However, even amidst it, Mount Hua’s disciples unfolded the sword without a hitch. It was as if the scene came out naturally.
“Mount Hua rising stars are the best in the world.”
“That’s why Southern Edge Sect had no choice but to go after them.”
“Isn’t it perfect for all of to make a dedication for?”
The swords that perfectly matched as if one person were unfolding it evoked as much excitement as the crowd watched it.
Paang!
The wind pressure from the sword raised Nam Jamyong’s hair as he watched the demonstration from the front.
A thunderous reaction erupted from all around.
“Wow!”
“Awesome!”
Nam Jamyong looked around in bewilderment.
‘What’s so great about these?’
It was just basic swordsmanship and wasn’t worth seeing with such a fuss.
But contrary to his opinion, most people watching the demonstration were enthusiastic.
Nam Jamyong’s face is obviously distorted.
‘These fools… … . What the hell are you making a fuss about!’
And Chung Myung, watching the scene from afar, was busy giggling and laughing.
‘It must be difficult to understand.’
The great thing is this situation, not the swordsmanship.
Actually, swordsmanship doesn’t mean anything.
Those gathered here are now ready to be surprised by Mount Hua’s disciples even if they were not holding swords but digging the ground with a pickaxe instead.
Reason?
That’s obvious. Where in the world would you see a group of famous disciples demonstrating swordsmanship?
In the first place, whether it’s the Southern Edge Sect or Mount Hua, which both had the same prestige as the Ten Great Sect, don’t hang out with the people of the world.
Since it is in their region, they may have seen the Southern Edge Sect’s sword once in a while, but most of them do not have the opportunity to see the swordsmanship performed by the disciples of the Ten Great Sect.
Besides, who can go up to Southern Edge Sect and ask them to show them how to use a sword as a group?
So, the sight of Mount Hua’s disciples, which are in full swing of fame, coming out to the street and spreading out their swords all at once is simply a rare experience that one would never see in one’s lifetime.
The reaction must be so enthusiastic.
‘If we show the proper swordsmanship there, the story is over.’
‘What?’
‘Southern Edge Sect can do it, too?’
‘Then open the gate and come down.’
“Kikikik.”
Chung Myung laughed.
The demonstration of Mount Hua’s disciples’ martial art at that time was over. Then, as planned in advance, the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Technique began to unfold.
A long demonstration will only reduce the intensity.
If they get a decent amount of attention with a Six-Fold Combo Sword, it’s better to strike it at once.
“Maehwaindong!” (“매화인동(梅花忍冬)!”)
Plum blossoms began to bloom at the edge of Mount Hua’s disciples’ swords with the great shout of Baek Chun.
“Wow…….”
“P- Plum blossoms! It’s plum blossoms!”
Everyone looked surprised at the plum blossoms drawn by Mount Hua’s disciples. The sword energy hanging from the sword’s edge seems to be blooming plum blossoms in the air.
Of course, unlike Baek Chun at the front, the other disciples at the back have yet to produce a proper plum blossom. But what does that matter to those watching?
Some people bloom flowers with swords in front of them.
“Series of Falling Plum (낙매분분(落梅紛紛))!”
With momentum, Baek Chun began to show off more splendid swordsmanship.
In terms of splendor alone, is there any place in the world that can match Mount Hua’s sword?
Talented or whatever, there was nothing like the plum blossom sword method that dazzled people. Even to someone who doesn’t know anything, it looks flashy and dangerous at first glance.
“Isn’t it completely different from Southern Edge Sect’s sword?”
“That’s why Mount Hua has been in good spirits lately. I’ve never seen a sword like this before. What kind of swordsmanship is this?”
Just in time, someone raised their voice among the people.
“Twe- Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordmanship!”
“It was told that Mount Hua swept through the Murim Competition with Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordmanship in Shaolin. It is truly unparalleled!”
“I heard Ten Great Sect are in trouble because of that sword.”
“Ah!”
“I see!”
So many people gathered here, so there was no way to know who was shouting. Everyone was just saying that.
The disciples of the Huayin Sect, who performed their duties perfectly among the public, glanced toward Chung Myung. Chung Myung nodded his head with satisfaction.
‘There you go! Good job.’
‘What?’
‘Scam?’
‘Ei. At a place like this, it’s exciting to have some lip service to cheer up the atmosphere.’
‘How can you call it a scam! What do you think of me! Even if I look like this, I’m still a Taoist, you know!’
Scam or not, the effect was perfect.
Murim Competition. The Ten Great Sect. Lastly, the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship.
Simple words were perfectly suited to penetrate people’s minds. In addition to the spectacular swordsmanship and proper performance, the observers could admire the swordsmanship without any hindrance.
“Awesome.”
“Is this Mount Hua Sect?”
And there were unexpected shots of support.
“Tsk tsk tsk. Southern Edge Sect didn’t even dare to go against Mount Hua until after Magyo ruined them!”
“Eiiii. What do children know? That’s when I was young.”
“Southern Edge Sect? Ohooo. You’re gonna bring up the old story again. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the name Plum Blossom Sword Saint…”
The gray-haired old people were excited and began to tell old stories. Even those who would normally avoid it slowly opened their ears as if they were excited this time.
Back Chun drew everyone’s attention to himself at the festival-like scene.
“Plum blossoms in Full Bloom!” (매화만개(梅花滿開))
Mount Hua’s plum blossoms are in full bloom.
Everyone here, even the Sect Leaders of the Southern Edge Sect subsidiary sect, was mesmerized by the colorful plum blossoms.
Plum blossoms were in full bloom in the center of Xian.
As if an old tree that has dried up for a long time is blooming again.
“Huu.”
Baek Chun slowly recovered the sword and pushed it into the sheath. Then he raised his head and looked around.
A dead silence.
Even though so many people were gathered, the surroundings were very quiet.
But that’s just for a moment.
“Wow!”
As someone began to exclaim and clap, others began to clap their hands, too.
“Hahaha! That’s amazing.”
“This is Mount Hua Sect! Indeed!”
“As expected, the disciples of the Main Sect are exceptional in their skills! They are completely different from Southern Edge Sect!”
Pouring applause and admiration.
On the other hand, Nam Jamyong’s face as he watched it darkened.
‘T- This…’
He wants to disparage it.
He wants to shout that it’s not a big deal.
But no matter what, he’s also a martial artist. As long as he saw the sword with his own eyes, he could not bear to say it.
Besides…
‘It’s not a good situation, is it?’
No matter how many flaws are discussed, those who have seen them with their own eyes will not be swayed. Even for just a while, it’s better just to keep their mouth shut for now.
But…….
Unfortunately for him, a man in Mount Hua Sect wouldn’t let the moment go.
“Now, now!”
Watching the situation without being involved in the demonstration, Chung Myung quickly jumped forward as if the time had come.
Then he stood in front of Baek Chun and spoke up.
“The plum blossoms you saw can be learned and bloomed as much as you want if you enter the newly opened Huayin Sect!”
Of course, the swordsmanship allowed in the subsidiary sect is up to Seven Plum Swords, but…….
‘In any case, you can create plum blossoms even with Seven Plum Sword.’
‘I didn’t lie! I didn’t!’
“And!”
Seeing the eyes gathering in an instant, Chung Myung shouted firmly.
“For those who are entering Huayin Sect now, tuition fees will be waived for the next three months! Therefore!”
And then he stamped his foot!
“Free! It’s free for the next three months! Try it first, and if you don’t like it, you can quit without paying!”
“Oh!”
“Free!”
Who wouldn’t be surprised that it’s free, regardless of age?
Those fascinated by the swordsmanship they saw a while ago began to be tempted by the word that it was free.
“Lastly!”
Chung Myung pulled Baek Chun in the back and pulled him forward.
“The recruit who entered Huayin Sect, time to time, from Righteous Sword who is now famous in the world! Baek Chun Dojang can teach you!”
“Ooh! Righteous Sword!”
“Are the Main Sect’s disciples really teaching us directly?”
‘Sometimes.’
‘Very occasionally, I didn’t lie.’
‘Fame is there to use.’
At least in this Xian, the name Righteous Sword Baek Chun is more popular than Mount Hua’s Sect Leader.
So he has no choice but to use it at times like this.
But then someone shouted.
“But who are you? Can I believe that?”
Chung Myung grinned as if the man had scratched the itchy spot.
“I’m Chung Myung, Mount Hua’s third-class disciple.”
“Chu- Chung Myung?”
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon!”
“He’s Mount Hua Divine Dragon!”
A shout louder than the ones heard so far burst out at once.
“Oh my god.”
Even the world-famous Chung Myung took a step back, startled by the reaction.
“Wha- What. Why do you like me so much?”
“…… it’s because you’re Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
Baek Chun stared at him as if he were dumbfounded.
‘What the hell does this guy think of himself?’
The real winner of the competition and the world’s best rising star. On top of that, Chung Myung is also called the strongest in the world in the later generation.
No matter how much Baek Chun beats Jin Geum Ryong, can he be compared to Chung Myung with his reputation?
“Mount Hua- did Mount Hua Divine Dragon come by himself?”
“So if I enter here, I will be guided by Mount Hua Divine Sword?”
“Oh my god! Where is my second child now?”
An explosive reaction erupted.
“Wha- What can I do to enter Huayin Sect?”
“Are we allowed to enter now?”
Chung Myung grinned as if he had been surprised.
They say to strike the iron while it’s hot, so he can’t cool down the expectations of those who have heated up!
“So-haeng!”
“Yep! Dojang-nim!”
“What are you doing? Take the guest!”
“Yes! Please come this way!”
They are Huayin Sect’s disciples who are good at making a vendor because they open a gambling store in Shaolin.
In an instant, some tables were set up and books and paper ink began to be prepared.
“We will accept the appliance here!”
As soon as the word came out, some rushed into it. Then the people who were just watching rushed out.
“Me first! Take my son first!”
“Oh, if it’s not you, get out of the way! I’m the first one!”
“Even cold water has its ups and downs! Get out of the way! I want to be a part, too!”
The Sect Leader of Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect watched the crowd. After seeing Chung Myung smiling triumphantly, Nam Jamyong shouted.
“…to do something like this without shame! How can you go so far in the affairs of the subsidiary sect?”
A look of disappointment was evident on his face. Chung Myung grinned and shrugged.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“…what- what did you say?”
“Not doing so is the problem. How come helping the subsidiary sect becomes a problem? Wouldn’t it be better if the Main Sect also worked hard?”
“…….”
Nam Jamyong shut his mouth like a mute eating honey.
Chung Myung chuckled and pressed the wedge.
“If it’s unfair, ask Southern Edge Sect to do it, too.”
‘Oh, did they do Bongmun?’
‘That’s too bad. What should you do?’
Kikikik.
