Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 370
“Huup!”
Nam Jamyong took a deep breath.
It was as if his pride had already been crushed. However, this does not imply…… No, that’s why he couldn’t take another step back. If he steps down this way, he will lose his pride and receive nothing in return.
He took a deep breath and opened his mouth as gently as possible.
“Sodojang.”
“What?”
Chung Myung smiled as he tilted his head.
Looking at the clear and bright smile turned his stomach upside down, making him want to draw his sword and swing it away right away.
But Nam Jamyong kept his cool with extreme patience.
‘No, that guy.’
However, how long has he been Sect Leader of West Moon Sect?
He discovered who he really needed to bargain with.
His gaze was drawn to Hyun Young, who was standing next to him, rather than Chung Myung.
“Elder-nim!”
The desperation in Nam Jamyong’s voice was evident.
“Help us! If Mount Hua doesn’t help us, all of us Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect will fall victim to that wicked Evil Sect!”
While looking at the Elder, he did his best to make his eyes look as upright and straight as possible.
“Of course, I know what we’ve done is not easy for Mount Hua to forgive! However, even those who were fighting against each other should join forces once the foreign enemy invades, right?”
“Hmm.”
Hyun Young nods lightly. Certainly, Nam Jamyong had a point in his word.
“If you can help us just this once, that grace! I will never forget it!”
“Ummm. I guess so.”
“Yes!”
Hope grew in Nam Jamyong’s eyes.
Unlike that man, who obviously wasn’t Mount Hua Divine Dragon but Earthworm, the Elder was a man he could communicate with. The Elder of the sect. He should have told someone who knew what was more important from the beginning.
But his hopes were terribly shattered. Hyun Young smiled and looked back at Chung Myung.
“Chung Myung-ah.”
“Yes!”
“What is he talking about now?”
“Oh, that?”
Chung Myung answered with a shrug.
“So all are pushovers, so why don’t you come out and receive the arrow instead.”
“…….”
“…….”
Nam Jamyong’s eyes twitched.
‘Uh…’
‘Oh, of course……right. It’s in line with the meaning.’
‘But does he usually talk like that in front of people? You’re a Taoist, too.’
‘N- No!’
‘Now is not the time to think about this!’
“Tha- That’s not!”
Nam Jamyong shouted in surprise.
“If you help us this time, I will never forget your kindness. I will repay you with words and to Mount Hua’s satisfaction too! So, Elder-nim, please……!”
Hyun Young looked back at Chung Myung again this time.
He didn’t even ask, but Chung Myung started to interpret the sentence independently.
“You will lose all your property anyway, but if you can stop them, I’ll give compensation as much as rat tail and take the credit instead.”
“…….”
Hyun Young’s smile grew warmer.
“That’s what he says.”
Nam Jamyong was speechless and looked at the two of them.
‘What the hell is this…….’
The young man who takes people’s words so crookedly is fine, but what’s with the Elder who believes the word without a second thought?
It seemed impossible to persuade them with his words.
“Hmm.”
But then, Danbyong Nip, who had been saving his words until now, stepped forward with a cough.
“Elder-nim, my name is Danbyong Nip, the Sect Leader of Taepyeong Sect.”
“Oh, I see.”
This time, Hyun Young nodded with a smile.
“Elder-nim, I know Mount Hua didn’t feel well toward us. We must’ve not been worthy of suddenly ask help since just until just a while ago, we were shouting at you guys to leave Xian.”
“You know very well.”
“…….”
Danbyong Nip looked at the intervening Chung Myung with blank eyes.
“What?”
“N- No.”
He coughed repeatedly and blew away the awkwardness, then desperately managed his expression and continued talking again.
“But Elder-nim. Please don’t dwell on personal matters and think of the world. They are Myriad Man House, the Great Five Evil Sect. What would the world say if Xian fell into the hands of the Great Five Evil Sect?”
Then Chung Myung tilted his head and said,
“Southern Edge Sect is such a jerk?”
“…….”
A bright smile followed.
“Is that right?”
“That… uh, it could be…”
“Dan Munju!”
“Keuhum!”
Nam Jamyong’s scolding Danbyong Nip quickly caught the spirit that was about to leave.
‘Damn it, he keeps cutting me off.’
Somehow, he couldn’t ignore him because he cut in with such a bright face.
Nam Jamyong took over Danbyong Nip’s words instead.
“That…… of course, Southern Edge Sect will be criticized. But as long as Mount Hua is in Xian, Mount Hua cannot escape the arrow! Do you mind if the whole world criticized Mount Hua for its brutality?”
The last word was loud enough to roar almost.
And the words certainly worked, so Mount Hua’s disciples looked at each other silently.
“That…….”
The evidence was that Baek Chun, who had been silent, tilted his head solemnly. Nam Jamyong’s face brightened up at the sight.
But then Baek Chun looked at Yoon Jong and said,
“Does it matter?”
Then the disciples around him nodded and sympathized.
“Yes, it’s nothing but criticism. We didn’t get much attention until recently.”
“…Would people care so much about Mount Hua? I heard we became famous, but I can’t believe it.”
“…….”
Danbyong Nip was speechless and stared blankly at the disciples.
“The- The world will condemn you.”
“If it’s a criticism, it’s an insult.”
“What’s so great about being cursed?”
“Even now, I still swear every day. To that damn bastard.”
“Right.”
Both Danbyong Nip and Nam Jamyong shut up.
‘No, what the hell is going on with these guys?’
Isn’t Mount Hua also a prestigious sect?
Of course, just because they claim to be a Righteous sect does not mean everyone is seeking justice.
Only young children with many dreams think that way. The world is always harsher than one’s thinks.
‘But aside from being good, isn’t there such a thing as a face?’
If Evil Sect came in and rushed at Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect but they didn’t come forward, there would be backlash.
“Are you sure you don’t mind if Mount Hua’s face falls to the ground like this?”
Chung Myung grinned when he heard the word.
“You seem to have misunderstood something, but this is not about losing face, it’s about saving face.”
“…Yes?”
“No matter how much Mount Hua is, we cannot ignore Southern Edge Sect’s influence on Xian. Should I say that it’s a little embarrassing to get involved in what’s happening on someone else’s land?”
“…….”
‘Someone else’s land.’
Danbyong Nip’s body flinched.
The phrase “that other person’s land” land is what Nam Jamyong said here the other day. Didn’t
Nam Jamyong says that Xian is the land of the Southern Edge Sect and that he would not give a single pyeong to Mount Hua?
That Taoist is shameful enough to remember the word and return it now.
“Tha- That’s….”
“Ei. Don’t worry.”
Before Danbyong Nip could say anything, Chung Myung smiled brightly again.
“What kind of sect Southern Edge is! Myriad Man……. I think that is, Myriad… What’s the name of the place?”
“Everyone! Everyone!”
“Ah, right. How can Myriad Man House do anything to Southern Edge Sect? Don’t worry too much. Everything’s going to be fine.”
“…….”
‘No, why would you say that?’
‘Are you in a position to say that?’
Danbyong Nip looked at Nam Jamyong with resentful eyes, knowing that he couldn’t refute at all.
‘Why are you making shit of your muzzle?’
Feeling a strong resentment in the eyes, Nam Jamyong avoided the gaze with an uncomfortable look.
In fact, it was unfair to Nam Jamyong as well.
‘How can I expect it to be like this?’
Yesterday, when he pushed to Huayin Sect here, the guy who laughed at how exhilarating it was, shifted the blame like this because the situation has changed a bit.
No matter how harsh the world is, how can he do this?
“That…….”
But Nam Jamyong, who was about to protest, closed his eyes tightly.
This is not the time to argue about this one by one. If they don’t get help from Mount Hua, Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect is really over.
“Elder-nim! Please don’t do that and help us once. Don’t you feel sorry for the people of Xian?”
Then Hyun Young smiled warmly and said,
“You don’t have to worry about that. From today on, we will step up and protect the people of Xian. Shouldn’t Murim’s work didn’t bother civilians?”
“The- Then…….?”
“We will protect the people well, so Munju-nim should not worry and take good care of your own sect.”
“E- Elder!”
Hyun Young smiled at Nam Jamyong, who shouted with a broken face, looked back at Mount Hua’s disciples, and beckoned.
“The guest is leaving.”
“Yes!”
Baek Chun and other disciples of Mount Hua rushed forward and surrounded Nam Jamyong and Danbyong Nip. Then began to push them out of the gate.
“E- Elder-nim! You can’t do this! Elder-nim!”
“Mount Hua! Think of Mount Hua’s reputation…… Elder-nim!”
Hyun Young poked his ears with a sour face.
“Aaaakh! You people who Heaven will punish!”
“These Evil Sect-like people!”
Eventually, bad words poured out, but Hyun Young shrugged with a look as if a dog were barking.
Soon after, Nam Jamyong and Danbyong Nip went out the door and Huayin Sect’s gate was tightly closed.
“Tsk.”
Hyun Young frowned and clicked his tongue.
“People have no choice but to change their position depending on the situation, but it’s so shameless. I can’t believe they’re here to ask for help.”
Then he peeked back at Chung Myung.
“I kicked him out, as you said, but what are you going to do? This is not something to drag on.”
“Because of our face?”
“No. If this enters Sect Leader’s ears, he might run barefoot all the way to Xian.”
“…….”
‘Oh, that’s right.’
‘You didn’t think of that.’
“It’s a relief that Sect Leader didn’t come to Xian.”
“I think so, too.”
Things wouldn’t have worked out so easily with Hyun Jong. As soon as he heard the word “Civilians,” his eyes would have been half-overturned.
“Don’t worry. It won’t take long.”
“And there is something right about what they say. I’m afraid it’s going to hurt the people of Xian.”
“That’s right.”
“If there is a rumor that civilians have been hurt, Sect Leader may lock me in his room and read me moral scriptures for three days and nights.”
“… I’d rather be hit.”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
Seeing Hyun Young’s face heat up instantly, it seems he has experienced something similar.
Hyun Young, who had been vigorous for a while, looked at Chung Myung and said.
There was a subtle uneasiness in his expression.
“I did what you said, but honestly, I don’t think it’s such a bad thing to hold hands with Southern Edge Sect. Myriad Man House is one of the most powerful Evil Sects in the world. Even if it’s just one of their forces, most small and medium-sized clans can be swept away overnight.”
“It certainly looked like that.”
“But is it really okay? If we don’t join hands with them, we may have to deal with them only with Huayin Sect.”
“Hmm.”
Chung Myung said, glancing back.
“Children grow up fighting.”
“Huh?”
The grin was only calm.
“I just thought they needed a proper hands-on experience. There’s a limit to spar or competition.”
Hyun Young burst into laughter.
‘Don’t you know how strong Myriad Man House is?’
No, that must not be the case.
Although he is often misunderstood because of his erratic behavior, Chung Myung is never a dull child. Rather, he is overly intelligent and looks different from ordinary people.
There is no way that Chung Myung does not know the meaning of confronting Myriad Man House.
“Will it be okay? It could be dangerous.”
At that word, Chung Myung looked back at Baek Chun and the other disciples with a solemn face.
“You’re not going to die, are you?”
“…….”
“…….”
At the words, the faces of the Mount Hua disciples paled.
Either way, Chung Myung murmured in thought.
“Hmm. Southern Edge Sect, Southern Edge Sect ….”
Come to think of it, the situation in which Myriad Man House was pushing into Xian was absurd.
‘To hell with Great Five Evil Sect.’
In the past, when he was active as Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Evil Sect under the world had dried up.
But they’ve become strong enough to use that title in just a hundred years?
“I’ll have to deal with them both at once. Some filthy Evil Sect bastards are arrogantly trying to spit in other people’s quarters!”
“You said it was Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect’s lang.”
“Oh, did I?”
‘I don’t remember.’
