Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 378
“Don’t push me!”
“You should be in line! Line up!”
“You should be ashamed to meet Mount Hua Sect! Get in line!”
The following morning.
A cloud-like crowd gathered in front of the Huayin Sect’s Gate, which had been opened.
They never promised to accept disciples again, but those who wanted to join the sect were camped out in front of the Huayin Sect as soon as the sun came up.
“There! We won’t accept those who cut in line!”
“Come! There are many disciples that Huayin Sect can accommodate, so you don’t have to be in a hurry!”
“Oh! Don’t cut in line, please!”
And Mount Hua’s disciples were busy controlling the crowd.
And…….
“Kikikik.”
Chung Myung smiled brightly and put the bottle in his mouth.
Glug, glug, glug.
“Kikikik.”
He doesn’t even need a snack.
When he took a sip of alcohol after seeing people gathered for them makes he felt more refreshed than drinking any pure water in a valley.
“That’s all money, that all is.”
Hyun Young burst into laughter when he heard that.
“Hohoho. Money, you punk.”
“Isn’t it so?”
“It’s a bunch of money.”
“…….”
“It’s not just a one-time thing, it’s a steady stream of money coming in once a month!”
“…Calm down, Elder.”
‘If I look at it once, this yangban is more than me.’
……he understands that in his heart.
Now that all of Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect has fled, Huayin Sect is the only place to learn martial arts in Xian.
Nam Jamyong, who still has lingering feelings, seems to be trying to do something, but the public sentiment is something that once it leaves you, it’ll never come back.
“This is a monopoly!”
“All left is to sweep the money with a rake!”
Chung Myung and Hyun Young looked at each other and giggled.
Baek Chun and the crowd shook their heads at the scene.
“…Sasuk.”
“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t people usually be happier about how they got an alias and became famous than about money?”
“Gol-ah.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
“These two… No, one and the other should not be understood through ordinary eyes.”
“… I’ll keep that in mind.”
In fact, they talk like that, but the smiles don’t leave the lips of the two.
Jo-Gol, in particular, looked still excited even until the sun rose.
‘This is why Kangho’s people are working together.’
To help someone and to receive their grateful gaze was an experience that resonated beyond words.
For Jo-Gol, who never fully understood Tao or chivalrousness even though he’s a part of a Taoist sect, what happened last night was a great shock.
It was Jo-Gol who now understood a little why Yoon Jong was trying to help the civilians by committing such a foolish thing.
Not only that but also the faces of the other disciples revealed a sense of pride that could not be hidden.
Of course…
“Kikikik.”
“Kekekek.”
……except those two.
In any case!
“My way…….”
“Huh?”
“N- No. It’s nothing.”
Jo-Gol shook his head slightly.
It’s still too early. Not yet.
But as Chung Myung said, he’ll have to think more and more. The day will come when he will walk his own path.
Isn’t that Tao (도(道))?
While the disciples were thinking about various things, Chung Myung and Hyun Young were busy calculating their income by watching the crowd.
“By the way, the response is better than I expected.”
“I know. I didn’t think it’ll be this much.”
The two looked around with a bit of wonder, and suddenly a heavy voice came from behind.
“It’s because of Righteous Sword Baek Chun Dojang-nim.”
“…what?”
When Chung Myung turned around, Hong Dae-gwang stood proudly with a solemn face.
“The rumor of Mount Hua’s rising star to be the best in the world must’ve spread all over Xian. But people don’t fully believe what they haven’t seen with their own eyes. Plus, it can be a fluke once. But this has proved that it’s a fluke, hasn’t it?”
Hong Dae-gwang straightened his shoulders as if he was more proud.
Chung Myung nodded pleasedly.
“When there’s a fight, I can’t even see your nose, but you’re putting strength on your shoulders after the fight as if we were fighting together. Fold your shoulders!”
“…I- I’m not a fighter. Besides, if you guys lose, we’ll have to get reinforcements…….”
“Lose?”
Chung Myung’s eyes twitched.
“Are those eyes holes? Who loses?”
“Keu- Keuhum.”
Perhaps because of his crime, Hong Dae-gwang coughed loudly and quickly avoided his gaze.
‘Not you, who would have imagined that Baek Chun Dojang would defeat Yo-pyong!”
It wouldn’t have been predictable even if it was Beggar Union’s Leader, not him who came to Xian.
“If I thought you guys were going to lose, I would have already run away yesterday.”
Away even if it was late.”
“……Anyway!”
Hong Dae-gwang quickly changed the subject.
“You always say ‘anyway!’”
“A- Anyway, since Righteous Sword has defeated Yo-pyong of Red Serpent Sword, the rising star of Mount Hua’s ability has been fully verified.”
He fixed his eyes on Hyun Young, turning a blind eye to Chung Myung, who was criticizing him.
“Actually, the people of Mount Hua may not be able to realize this well, but if this had happened to another sect, there would have been an uproar by now. A man who is only a second-class disciple defeated the famous Yo-pyong of Red Serpent Sword.”
Hong Dae-gwang spat and spoke enthusiastically as if he didn’t like their simple attitude.
“This kind of achievement is a great event to be nominated right away for the next generation of the strongest person in the world. So Mount Hua’s ability is now proven.”
“Shh!”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, Chung Myung gestured for him to be quiet.
“Don’t say nonsense. No one will be held responsible if our Dongryong gets wind in his lungs. He is a massive jerk even now, what will he become if he is aware of this?”
“…….”
What is this bastard really thinking?
Hong Dae-gwang, who was a deep impression of Chung Myung’s appearance confronting the Red Serpent Sword yesterday, was now falling vertically again.
No matter how good the fight is, Chung Myung is Chung Myung.
“However.”
Hong Dae-gwang, who coughed a little, changed his tone.
“On the other hand, the risk will not be small.”
“Did you say danger?”
“Yes, Elder. So far, Mount Hua has not made any major enemies.”
“So if Southern Edge Sect hear this, will they tear the Bongmun off and bite us with foam in their mouth?”
But Hong Dae-gwang smiled a little vaguely.
“Southern Edge Sect is of Righteous faction, so they won’t rush into each other’s extinction even if there is a bad relationship. Because there’s a thing called position. But Myriad Man House is different. They don’t have anything to protect.”
Hong Dae-gwang took a deep breath and continued.
“In addition, Myriad Man House is one of those who represent the world no matter what anyone says. In fact…… it’s still hard for Mount Hua to deal with them.”
“Ummm. That’s right.”
It was not a part that he wanted to concede, but they are definitely an opponent that everyone fears.
Even if Red Serpent Sword forces were defeated neatly, there are more than five armed forces in Myriad Man House, and there are martial masters who do not necessarily lead a force.
In addition, if those in charge of various special tasks are added, the number easily surpasses that of the Southern Edge Sect, and their power is comparable to that of the sect belonging to the Ten Great Sect.
As Mount Hua’s second and third-class disciples still need to grow further, they are bound to be a burdensome existence to fight right now.
“This is why Evil Sect chick is.”
“…….”
“What?”
“N- No.”
Hong Dae-gwang shook his head, keeping his mouth shut.
‘Right, well.’
‘What am I gonna say to you?’
“And you don’t have to worry so much about those Evil Sect chicks.”
“How come?”
“They don’t do things that are not profitable.”
“…….”
“Whatever it is, they talk about loyalty and face, but they don’t want to shed a drop of sweat on things that don’t make money or profit. If they had grit, they wouldn’t have become Sapa.”
“…….”
‘No, it’s not that wrong to say, but…….’
“What is the benefit of those chicks coming to Shaanxi and sticking with Mount Hua? What is Mount Hua? The only subsidiary sect they have is the Huayin Sect, which is the size of a rat’s tail, and the Pavilion is also on top of the most barren Mount Hua in Jungwon, so it’s hard for people to stop by, right?”
“Y- Yes.”
“They’re going to bring their force there? They? Hey.”
Chung Myung smiled and waved his hands.
“If they even budge, I’ll get my hands on them.”
“Hng, you have a point, but unless Mount Hua wanted to stuck themselves only in Huayin, one day it will be a problem.”
“Why is that a problem for us?”
“Huh?”
“If we’re not stuck in Huayin, they should be nervous. Because we will beat them up each time we run into them.”
“…….”
Chung Myung distorted his face as if he were slightly annoyed.
“Ah, thinking about it makes me angry again. Did I put up with it too much because the kids were watching? If it were my usual, I will grind them and turn them to manure.”
“…….”
It was Hong Dae-gwang, who vowed not to be enemies with Chung Myung no matter what.
“Anyway.”
Roughly organizing the conversation, Hong Dae-gwang saw people flocking as if he were feeling new.
“There were so many ups and downs, but…… you’ve got Xian in the end, Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
He couldn’t help but admire it.
It’s a twist and turns, but it didn’t take too long. Considering that it has only been 15 days since Huayin Sect was created, Chung Myung conquered Xian just a month after they came in.
“There won’t be any rough situation until Southern Edge Sect comes out of Bongmun.”
“It’s the same when undoing the Bongmun.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung shook his bottle and grinned.
“We can’t run this place properly when so many people are here. I’m going to buy all the Hall next to me, push them away, and expand.”
“…more?”
“You have to row when the water comes in.”
“At this rate, Huayin Sect will be bigger than Southern Edge Sect.”
“So what.”
Chung Myung shrugs his shoulders.
“Anyway, by the time those bastards undo the Bongmun, I’ll make sure that no needle goes into Xian. I’ll make them hit the ground and regret it!”
“…What did Southern Edge Sect do so wrong to you?”
“Even a whole day won’t be long enough to talk about all of it.”
More than one day is needed.
‘Thinking about it makes me angry again. Those bastards!’
“And?”
“What are you thinking? We will have to go back.”
“All of you?”
Chung Myung nodded.
“If Huayin Sect’s disciples improve their skills, they won’t fall easily. We’re creating a subsidiary sect in the first place to broaden our influence even in places where the main sect is not around. If we’re stuck here, then this move will lose it’s meaning.”
“…I don’t think it’ll be enough with just Huayin Sect.”
Chung Myung shook his head firmly at the worried murmur.
“Don’t ignore them.”
“Yes?”
“The power of the subsidiary sect comes not from the power they possess, but from the pride of their Main Sect. The reason Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect became so helpless is not because of its lack of power. The subtle distrust toward Southern Edge Sect made the situation this far.”
“Oh…….”
Hong Dae-gwang looked at Chung Myung with admiration once again.
This guy usually seems crazy, but sometimes he gets to the point like this.
“Huayin Sect, who witnessed the power of Mount Hua and was right next to us to defeat Red Serpent Sword, is no longer weak. They may not have enough force now, but it will be solved soon. If we really want to help Huayin Sect, we should not stick together, but go back to our Main Sect to further enhance Mount Hua’s reputation.”
“It’s a reasonable argument!”
Hong Dae-gwang nodded coolly.
Hong Dae-gwang, who belongs to Beggar Union, the biggest force in the world, knew better than anyone what Chung Myung meant.
The growing strength of the Beggar Union was not when branches were outstanding, but when they made their name known to the world.
After all, the important thing is to get people together. It is no exaggeration to say that everything depends on the reputation of the Main Sect.
“All right.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll help you.”
“…what?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll spread it to the world that within 15 days, Righteous Sword has knocked down Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong! Even those who live in the mountains will know the name of Righteous Sword!”
“……Uh, wait a minute. That……”
“If it helps Mount Hua, I should do this!”
“Hng, I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. Why are you acting like a kid?”
“…Good.”
Chung Myung opened his eyes firmly as if he had made some big decision.
“Instead!”
“Huh?”
“I’m talking about that Righteous Sword or something.”
“Yes?”
“Other than that alias, Dong Ryong also had another alias called O Ryong (The Five Dragons) or something, right?”
“That’s a title he doesn’t often use anymore. But why?”
“Let’s change it to Dongryong (동룡(銅龍)/Copper Dragon).”
“…….”
“Then every time he hears the nickname, every time his name rings, he’ll become a little humbled.”
“…….”
“It’s good for each other. Kikikik.”
‘No matter how hard I think about it…….’
‘This punk is obviously a devil.’
