Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 369
“…….”
Nam Jamyong stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes trembling.
‘What the hell is this in an overnight?’
The Hwajuk Sect was destroyed.
Disciples are moaning on the ground because they have yet to be relocated to the clinic and buildings that have been destroyed and shattered in shambles.
Unless suddenly a robber is involved……
‘No, it’s not a robbery.’
Nam Jamyong bit his lips. The Sect Leader Jo Ho-bang was still lying unconscious.
“… Munju-nim.”
Yoo Hae-sang, who was the first to inform Nam Jamyong of the news, trembled at his feet, not knowing what to do.
“What the hell am I supposed to do about this?”
“…….”
It must have been a question asked in hopes of an answer, but Nam Jamyong didn’t have much to say.
‘Myriad Man House.’
His spine went cold.
He has known for a long time that the entire Myriad Man House is aimed at Xian. But he hadn’t expected them to make such an unexpected move. Even so audaciously.
“Shouldn’t we take measures?”
Nam Jamyong quietly nodded. But, in contrast to his behavior, his mind was nearly empty. He couldn’t think of anything to use as a countermeasure.
‘What am I supposed to do with Myriad Man House?’
What kind of place is Myriad Man House?
It’s one of those Great Evil sects.
If there is Ten Great Sect and Great Five Family in the Righteous sect, there is a Great Evil Sect in the Evil Sect. In other words, the Great Evil Sect is a huge sect that can compete with the Ten Great Sect.
But for Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect to deal with Myriad Man House, one of those Great Evil sects?
“Munju, how…….”
“Fi- First of all!”
Nam Jamyong shouted out loud.
“Gather all Sect Leaders of the subsidiary sect! Right now!”
“Yes!”
Yoo Hae-sang quickly disappeared, and Nam Jamyong murmured despondently as he looked at Jo Ho-bang, who was unconscious.
“What am I supposed to do with this?”
But, no one answered what he said.
“What does the Government say?”
The Sect Leader of Southern Edge Sect, who gathered at West Moon Sect, sat around a large round table.
Most of their expressions were gloomy. Considering the expression when they were screaming in Huayin Sect, it was doubtful that they were the same person.
“……they won’t come forward.”
“It’s as if robbers have abused the people, but they don’t come forward!”
“… That’s how Government is.”
Dongbang Hwae (동방회(東方廻)), the Sect Leader of the Chivalric Sword Sect (의검문(義劍門)), sighed deeply and said,
“And they’re very clever. They completely smashed Hwajuk Sect and didn’t kill a single person. In addition, they didn’t touch even a single civilian while making such a fuss. So the Government doesn’t seem to have any justification to get involved.”
“Are you sure it wasn’t because they are scared of Myriad Man House?”
“…Munju-nim, I think you should sugarcoat your words.”
“Keuhum.”
Nam Jamyong coughed loudly.
No matter how angry he is, there are things he can and can’t say.
“I was a little excited.”
Dongbang Hwae sighed again as Nam Jamyong admitted.
“We can’t communicate with the Government, so I guess we’ll have to meet the Lord in person… I’m still making requests for now, but we’re not getting an answer…”
‘I’m sure it is.’
Nam Jamyong also sighed with his eyes slightly lowered.
It’s frustrating and heartbreaking, but he can’t blame them for that either.
Murim’s work stays within Murim.
It was the principle of those who lived in Kangho.
Unless they touch the civilian, the Government will never intervene. Even if all Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sects fall into ruin.
“So where are those evil enemies now?”
“As soon as the day broke, they left Xian. Maybe…….”
“They’ll be back tonight.”
“That’s right.”
Nam Jamyong washed his face enough to make a rustling sound and squeezed his face as if it were not enough.
‘Damn it. If only Southern Edge Sect hadn’t done Bongmun!’
Although Myriad Man House is strong, Southern Edge Sect is also one of the top ten in the world. If Southern Edge Sect hadn’t done Bongmun, Myriad Man House would not have dared to step into Xian.
“What happened to the person who we sent to Southern Edge Sect?”
“He’s back, but…… the door won’t open.”
“You’re saying they don’t open the door even under these circumstances?”
“Nam Munju……. You know, Bongmun isn’t something that’s easy to undone, is it? Bongmun, which was implemented from Sect Leader’s Decree, cannot be solved at will even by the Sect Leader of Southern Edge Sect. Even if external enemies come in and war breaks out, isn’t it a rule that a sealed sect should not be involved in anything outside the gate?”
“Principle! Principle! Everyone seems to die after following that principle. What kind of principle is that?”
Bang!
In the end, Nam Jamyong couldn’t stand it and hit the round table violently.
The teacups on top were turned upside down and ruined, but no one blamed Nam Munju. It’s because they were the same way that were rotting inside.
“Is there a way to calm them down?”
“……what can we do? We have no choice but to stick together and fight.”
“Are you going to fight them?”
“Huh? So what? Are you saying we should abandon leave Xian and run away?”
The Sect Leaders began to quarrel.
“What is the reason people of Xian favor Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect? Because we are trusted. But if we run away when Evil Sect comes in, how can we shamelessly return to Xian after that!”
“Those Sapa don’t touch civilians!”
“Are they being Evil Sect for nothing? For now, sure, but how do you know what’s going to happen in the future!”
“So you’re saying we should sit here and confront them!”
“It’s better than running away with shame!”
“Then you should be here instead, Munju! I need to live.”
“How come?”
Amid the shouting, Nam Jamyong buried his face in his hand.
‘D*mn it.’
They used to act like a noble gentleman, but as soon as the crisis came, everyone showed signs of back alley thugs.
Come to think of it.
It is useless to blame them. After all, people can only relax within the limits they can afford.
Even the emperor who commands the world must turn pale when the enemies flock to the front of his castle.
“This guy really is!”
“This guy? Did you just say this guy?”
“You didn’t forget that I was your Sahyung, did you?”
“For God’s sake, when did subsidiary sect start to weigh rank?”
“You, the more I hear you!”
He was about to draw his sword. Nam Jamyong, who was watching the two people raising their voices, hit the round table with all his might again.
Kwaang!
The round table, made of sturdy wood, literally split in two and toppled onto the floor.
The Munju, who had been arguing about the appearance, looked back at Nam Jamyong with their mouths shut.
“Look at the ugliness.”
“… I’m sorry, Munju-nim.”
“There is no face.”
Nam Jamyong pressed down on his throbbing temples as the surroundings became quiet.
Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong.
Nam Jamyong has also heard the name several times. He is famous as a master even in the Myriad Man House, which is full of masters.
In the first place, his strength can already be seen just by his being the leader of one of Myriad Man House’s forces, when only about a dozen of them exist worldwide.
Even in Southern Edge Sect, some Elders and outstanding disciples couldn’t deal with him easily.
How the hell are they supposed to stop such a man?
‘I’m sure they’ll come back at night.’
It was when Nam Jamyong groaned in a situation where no answer was seen.
“……Mount Hua.”
Someone’s murmur pierced his ears.
Nam Jamyong’s head slowly turned.
“…What did you just say?”
Bewildered by the unexpected remark, he blinked and asked again.
“…Mount Hua, why don’t we ask for help from Huayin Sect?”
“…….”
An awkward answer came back. Nam Jamyong looked at the speaker with a mixture of bewilderment and shock.
Danbyong Nip, the Sect Leader of Taepyeong Sect, blushed with an awkward face. Nam Jamyong didn’t like him very much because he usually had a weak side.
“To put it bluntly, if Southern Edge Sect can’t undo the Bongmun, it’s hard for us to block Myriad Man House’s forces alone. But we’re not alone in Xian, are we?”
“……so Mount Hua?”
“Yes.”
Danbyong Nip nodded loudly.
“At this moment, Mount Hua’s inner disciples are at Huayin Sect, and above all, there are people like Righteous Sword who are famous worldwide. Besides, didn’t Mount Hua Divine Dragon and monk Hye Yeon also come?”
“…….”
That’s right.
Righteous Sword is Righteous Sword, but Mount Hua Divine Dragon or monk Hye Yeon will never lag behind Southern Edge Sect’s great disciples.
They might be able to deal with that Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong.
‘Myriad Man House is Myriad Man House, but the biggest problem is that there is no one to deal with that Yo-pyong.’
The influence exerted by absolute masters on the battlefield is beyond imagination. If it wasn’t for Yo-pyong, no matter how many enemy troops came, they wouldn’t have been so desperate.
Danbyong Nip said with a little strength in his voice.
“So why don’t we ask Mount Hua for help?”
“Are you serious about that?”
But Yoo Hae-sang screamed and protested even before Nam Jamyong could answer.
“A man should know shame! How could we ask help from those Mount Hua’s rascals!”
“……but the situation…….”
“Besides!”
Yoo Hae-sang’s face was distorted.
“We have done something to them! They wouldn’t help us well.”
“No, it’s not. It’s something to think about for.”
Danbyong Nip smiled awkwardly as he wiped his sweat with a towel.
“In any case, aren’t they of the same Righteous sect?”
“…….”
“It’s Mount Hua Sect. No matter how bad our relationship is, they cannot deny that we are of the same prestigious and Righteous sect.”
“Hmm.”
“The Sapa has invaded those who claim to be prestigious and Righteous, so they won’t just be watching. Of course, because of the circumstances, they won’t have to reach out their hand first… If we bow our heads first, we’ll pretend we can’t win and hold hands.”
Nam Jamyong, who had been listening in silence, frowned slightly.
“Do you really think so?”
“Of course. There’s a real reason.”
“Real reason?”
“Would Myriad Man House after Southern Edge Sect?”
“…….”
Danbyong Nip’s voice was more determined than ever.
“If they’re really after Xian, they won’t end up with just destroyed Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect. Of course, Huayin Sect will be their goal after us.”
“Hmm…….”
“So Huayin Sect, or Mount Hua, should join hands with us. Otherwise, wouldn’t they fight the enemy alone?”
“I’m sure it is.”
“It’s too reckless and stupid. Even if they can win, they don’t have a strong man to choose such a difficult path.”
Nam Jamyong nodded.
‘Mount Hua.’
He doesn’t really like bowing down to Mount Hua, but…….
‘It’s not common to have a shield like that.’
They’re disgusting to see, but can’t they be more reliable if they’re allies?
“Good idea.”
“Nam Munju? Do you really think so?”
Nam Jamyong said with a fishy smile.
“Of course, it hurts my pride. But if we can take advantage of it by lowering our pride, there’s no reason not to do it, right?”
“Well, that’s right.”
Nam Jamyong shook his hand firmly as if he had nothing more to say.
“I’ll do what I can to attract Mount Hua, and the others will crack down on the sect. And Dan Munju!
“Yes, Munju-nim.”
Danbyong Nip rose from his seat and approached Nam Jamyong.
“Come with me.”
“Yes.”
There was no room for further delay. He left the room with Danbyong Nip.
Then he walked silently for a moment and then started their conversation.
“Mount Hua, will they help us?”
“They can’t help but help us.”
“Why? It’s not everything you said earlier, is it?”
“Because they are Righteous Sect.”
“… That’s all?”
Danbyong Nip gave a slightly complicated smile at Nam Munju, who was slightly frowning.
“It sounds obvious, but it contains a lot of things. If those who claim to be Righteous sects themselves stand by even when the Evil Sects are attacking them, what will the people of Xian think of them?”
Nam Jamyong, who had been listening quietly, nodded his head. Danbyong Nip continued.
“Of course, we’ll hear some hateful things, but they’ll help us out eventually. Then we can use them as shields to stop Myriad Man House’s force, and we can drive them out later on.”
Nam Jamyong rolled up the corners of his mouth.
“Then all I have to do is to lower my head.”
“The lower the posture, the better. A giant does not spare his knees if necessary.”
“Hahaha. Then where would you like to become a giant?”
Nam Jamyong smiled pleasantly.
But they didn’t know.
Mount Hua is, of course, a Righteous sect, but it is not the one who leads them.
“What?”
“…….”
“Oh, I know. You mean us?”
“…….”
Nam Jamyong’s cheeks began to tremble.
Sure enough, a young man with a bottle of wine was lying on the bench, giggling at them.
The look of accusation on his face was so blatant that he couldn’t say anything.
“Hahahahaha. You’re making funny jokes, these guys. Hahahahahahaha!”
“…….”
Nam Jamyong’s face is horribly distorted.
Staring sideways, Danbyong Nip, who was confident that Mount Hua would help them, slipped away. Nam Jamyong closed his eyes tightly.
Then Chung Myung, a young man who was drinking, shouted with a sound of disgust.
“Sasuk! Get the salt!”
“Spray it on these people?”
“What kind of bullshit! You should spray it at the entrance, you punk!”
Once in a while, it was Chung Myung who thought Baek Chun was a worse person than him.
