Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 422
“What the hell is going on here, Elder-nim?”
“There’s no need to make a fuss.”
When morning came, disciples of the Yuryong Sect looked at Wu Changsong puzzledly.
“What exactly do you mean by a race?”
“……why? Did you not have confidence?”
“No, I’m just perplexed. What exactly are we? Aren’t we Yuryong Sect disciples?”
Wu Changsong nodded satisfactorily as if he liked the spirit.
“Yes, if it’s about Lightness Art, the Yuryong Sect disciple is second to none in the world.”
“Yes, but race? What nonsense is this…….”
Wu Changsong lightly waved his hands in response to the disciple’s complaints.
“There’s no need to say anything else. All you need to do is defeat them.”
Then he turned his head slightly and looked at the Mount Hua disciples who were camped on one side.
‘Cheeky brat…’
He bit his lips.
But why did this happen is…….
“Did you just say proof?”
Wu Changsong looks at Chung Myung with a frown.
“Yes, proof.”
“Are you going to demonstrate that training and working can coexist?”
“Exactly as you stated.”
Wu Changsong frowned and raised his voice.
“Hey! You’re not going to say it’s a train by default because we’ll be carrying a lot of stuff, are you?!”
“You are well aware.”
“Huh?”
Wu Changsong regarded Chung Myung with dismay.
“Take a look, Sodojang. When the proper method and guidance are in sync, training becomes meaningful. How can any amount of hard work count as training?”
“No.”
“Hm?”
Chung Myung grinned.
“Method is just a way for a teacher to be comfortable. The important thing is to have a clear goal and a passion for pushing the limits.”
“Huh?”
Wu Changsong looked at Chung Myung with a puzzled face.
“No……, what the hell does Sodojang know…….”
“Elder Wu, please refrain from speaking. This Sodojang is called Chung Myung, Mount Hua Divine Dragon who is said to be the best rising star of Kangho.”
And that Mount Hua Divine Dragon nickname isn’t even a good explanation for this completely crazy bastard!
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon?”
At Du Yuncan’s words, Wu Changsong looked at Chung Myung who was before his eyes.
‘This young Taoist who doesn’t emanate the spirit of Taoism at all is that Mount Hua Divine Dragon…….’
“Keuhum, I see.”
However, once he learned about his opponent’s reputation, he could not treat him as harshly as he had ever been. He then spoke in a slightly soft voice.
“But I don’t agree with you in this regard, no matter how much you are as Mount Hua Divine Dragon. Especially when it comes to Lightness Art, our Yuryong Sect does not need to be taught by any of the sects in the world.”
“That’s the problem, that.”
“Hm?”
“The world develops and changes. Just because you got a name a few hundred years ago doesn’t mean you’ve been doing well ever since.”
“What are you saying now…….”
“What I mean is!”
Taang!
Chung Myung slammed the table with his palm.
“This is Kangho’s matter, isn’t it useless to argue with our mouth whether I am right or you are? There is only one way to prove who is right in Kangho.”
Wu Changsong narrowed his eyes slightly at his words.
“Are you trying to compete Lightness Art against us?”
“That’s right.”
Chung Myung smiled confidently.
“That’s the fastest way.”
“Haha. Why do we have to…….”
Chung Myung looks at Wu Changsong and speaks sternly.
“If we lose, I’ll return the Sect Leader Decree and get out of the Yuryong Sect without a word.”
“…….”
“Instead, if we win, Elder Wu, please cooperate unconditionally in what Somunju-nim is trying to do.”
“Heumm.”
Wu Changsong agonized for a moment and let out a sigh. But the worries did not last long.
“You look scared?”
“…what?”
He stared at Chung Myung with his eyes wide open.
“What did you just say?”
Chung Myung calmly put his hands behind his head and whistled.
“I didn’t say much?”
“This…….”
“No, I’m just saying, I just thought that the person who said that the disciples of the Yuryong Sect were the fastest in the world was not really confident.”
“Hahaha.”
Wu Changsong, who burst out laughing because he was speechless, twisted his mouth as if he were displeased.
“I was looking for a good way because I was afraid that the position of Somunju-nim would be difficult if Mount Hua Sect were to be disgraced, but Sodojang left me with no choice!”
“Oh? You’re going to do it?”
“Yuryong Sect does not shy away from challenges. So, how do you want to settle it?”
When Chung Myung finally heard the answer he wanted, he smiled and loosened the clasps of his hands behind his head.
“It’s obvious how. If I beat Elder-nim myself, it’s the most certain method, but that is a verification of my skills, not a verification of the training itself. Then… I think it’s better to let my Sahyung compete against the disciples of the Yuryong Sect using the Lightness Art.”
“What about you?”
“Do you really need me to do it?”
Wu Changsong said with cold sinking eyes.
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon, called the best of Mount Hua, won’t step up?”
“Yes, isn’t that a better condition?”
“…I guess our Yuryong Sect looks very shallow to you. All right, I’ll take that challenge. Instead!”
Wu Changsong shouted, banging the table once.
“If you lose in this match, just step back and let go of the Sect Leader Decree. If Mount Hua is confident of its position as Righteous Sect, you guys won’t return on what you said.”
“I live as one of the Righteous Sect, and I am a person who always keeps the word I spit out.”
If the disciples of Mount Hua heard it, they would have foam in their mouths and rush to him knowing he had told another lie.
“…I feel like I’ve been tricked.”
“Yes?”
“No. Nothing.”
Wu Changsong shook his head.
Sodojang’s tongue made him a bit dry, but it didn’t matter.
This is an absolute advantage for them anyway.
“Aksso.”
“Yes, Elder-nim!”
Wu Changsong looked solemnly at Aksso in front of him.
“This is a match where the honor of the Yuryong Sect is at stake. We must win.”
“Don’t worry, Elder-nim!”
Aksso, who answered confidently, turned his eyes slightly. Half-spread Mount Hua’s disciples were seen in the corner of the training field.
Seeing that there was not even a grain of tension, a wave of anger rose inside of him for no reason.
‘You’re saying this is a well-known Sect?’
Of course, Yuryong Sects are a small sect that cannot be compared to Mount Hua. Besides, it’s safe to say that Mount Hua is now the most famous sect in the world.
‘But that doesn’t mean they could go around ignoring people…..’
It was just that moment.
“Why must us, you bastard!”
“You run, you run! Why should we take care of what you have done!”
“I don’t want to do this.”
“Amitabha, get the hell out of here, Siju.”
Aksso flinched at Mount Hua’s disciples’ thunderstorm of criticism and resentment.
‘What is this?’
They were roaring at one person like a cat.
“Chung Myung-ah.”
Baek Cheon opened his mouth with a bubbling face.
“Isn’t this a place to do good business in the first place?”
“That’s right.”
“But why are we working again! Why, again!”
“Oh, I can’t communicate with you guys!”
Baek Cheon grabbed his chest.
“You’re the one who can’t be communicated with. You!”
“I agree.”
Public opinion seemed to be not good at all. But it isn’t Chung Myung who cared about it at all.
“I tried to make it work for the best of both of us.”
“But!”
“But the old man says they don’t have to listen to us because they’re much better at these areas.”
“…what?”
Baek Cheon opened his eyes wide, slightly hardening his face. Chung Myung gently scratched his pride.
“Can you stand that?”
However.
“You must have been the first one to poke at them.”
“……Huh?”
Baek Cheon looked at Chung Myung with a sullen face.
“How could they have done that first? I’m sure you scratched them gently first.”
“…….”
And others didn’t believe Chung Myung.
“They look like kind people, would they really do that?”
“It’s a lie every time you open your mouth!”
“How many people have suffered like that so far? I’d rather trust them than trust you!”
Chung Myung frowned and protested vigorously with a face full of injustice.
“I’m telling you it’s real?! Why don’t you believe me…….”
“That’s enough.”
“Stop it!”
“…….”
He was in awe, but there was no way to prove it either.
“Anyway, really.”
Then Baek Cheon, scratching his head as if he were going crazy, looked at the doorways of the Yuryong Sect. Apparently, the other side was very motivated about this.
Sighed deeply, he opened his mouth weakly.
“This bastard may have caused an accident, but it’s true that since this has happened, Mount Hua’s honor is at stake.”
“Then he can do it himself! Why are we dragging his weight?”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
When he thought about it, Baek Cheon stared at Chung Myung with an angry expression again. Chung Myung just shrugged his shoulder at it.
“If I go, it won’t work. And it’s not about who’s faster.”
“What are you saying?”
“That freaking mouth, ugh!”
“…….”
Looking at him with a blade-like gaze, Chung Myung seriously pondered whether puberty had come to his Sahyung these days.
“Anyway.”
Baek Cheon said sternly as if he had cleared his mind.
“No matter how it starts, we must win and see the fight to the end.”
“That’s right!”
Tang So-so clenched her fist.
“My father did the same. Even if they make a mistake here, they will beat them! Then the wrongs will be covered.”
“……No, that’s too much…….”
Well, they couldn’t imagine Tang Gaju being like that, but he is, in fact, very aggressive.
After wiping his sweat off, Baek Cheon cleared his throat.
“Apology is an apology, and a match is a match. Anyway, we can’t bear to hear that Mount Hua is worse than Yuryong Sect!”
“Of course!”
“Of course.”
“Let’s go!”
Baek Cheon led Mount Hua’s disciples to the center of the training field.
In line with that, Aksso led his Sjae to the center of the training field. The two groups began to confront each other in the center.
Standing opposite Baek Cheon, Aksso tilted his head over and over again as if he didn’t like something.
“You look like a helpless scribe.” (A person who only studies writing because he does not know the world’s affairs and is inflexible.)
“But with better looks, right?”
“…….”
Aksso, who made a remark and didn’t get it through, ground his teeth.
“It would be nice if the legs were as flexible as the snout.”
“It’s stiff but about as good as you.”
“……No, this …….”
“Quiet!”
As Aksso burst flames in his eyes, Elder Wu Changsong shouted loudly and walked out.
“I’m sure you’re all aware of the situation, so I’m not going to explain this in detail. The way to win is very simple. Do you see that tree on the mountain?”
“Mountain?”
“What mountain?”
Mount Hua’s disciples tilted their heads to look at the surrounding mountains. Here it is in the middle of a mountain. Where the hell is he talking about….?
Soon their eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
Because of yesterday’s rain, they could see something hazy through the thick fog.
“……there?”
“That one?”
They can’t even see well because of the fog……. No, it was a mountain far enough to be invisible without fog.
“Do Elder mean that mountain?”
“That’s right.”
Wu Changsong nods nonchalantly.
Then, Mount Hua’s disciples looked at Wu Changsong with a look as if saying ‘What kind of human being is this?’
“Why? Do you think it’s hard? If you’re having a hard time, you can give up now.”
Unfortunately, Wu Changsong didn’t know how to deal with Mount Hua’s disciples.
“Is it hard? In Mount Hua, we go for a walk that much after eating.”
“Oh my. I was wondering if we will go far because it’s a race. I’ll even crawl, crawl.”
Mount Hua’s disciples looked at the distant mountain with a boiling face.
“The one who cuts down the tree on the top of that mountain and arrives there first will win.”
“Who’s going to confirm that?”
“Hong Daehyup from Beggar Union has decided to give a hand on this race.”
‘Ah.’
‘Hong Dae-gwang?’
“… … For some reason, he went somewhere while swearing nonstop since morning.”
Baek Cheon sincerely mourned Hong Dae-gwang, who was caught up in a mess.
“Any question?”
“None.”
It’s a simple method that doesn’t even require a question.
The problem is…
Strangely, they’re not motivated.
Baek Cheon sighed deeply. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out what this was about.
“Then, just five of you?”
“Yes.”
He answered and looked back furtively. Jo-Gol, Yoon Jong, Yoo Iseol, and Tang So-so stood beside him.
“There’s nothing to drag on. Let’s go!”
“Yes.”
They all got into positions in unison. Next to them, the disciples of the Yuryong Sect also posed with relaxed faces.
Chung Myung smiled and cheered brightly.
“Mount Hua, win!”
“You shut up!”
“It’s killing me! For real!”
“I’ll cut him.”
“That bastard is really, hah!”
It was a moment of warmth between the Sahyung.
With a sigh, Baek Cheon pushed internal strength into his legs. In any case, they have to win first…….
“Let’s go!”
With Wu Changsong’s signal, ten martial artists shot forward.
In an instant, Aksso slipped to Baek Cheon’s side, who was running through the mountain path after escaping the Yuryong Sect.
“Oi, Gisaeng Orabi.”
‘The breathing is?’
How could he talk so calmly while running so fast? They were definitely opponents that couldn’t be seen lightly.
“What?”
“Did you listen to the rules?”
“Isn’t it enough to cut down the tree and return?”
“Tsk tsk. This is why helpless scribes are.”
Aksso shrugged and shoved his hand into his waist.
‘Huh?’
And.
Paaaat!
At the same time as he pulled out his hand, something flew into Baek Cheon’s feet.
A long string with small weights attached to both ends quickly wrapped around Baek Cheon’s ankles.
“Ah!”
In an instant, Baek Cheon, who was tied up in both legs, couldn’t maintain the speed at which he was running and collapsed. Of all things, the road was muddy because of the rain last night.
Thud!
“…….”
The muddy water that had soared fell down on his back in a dreadful way.
Buried in mud, he didn’t move as much as a dead man. Aksso laughed at the sight.
“They didn’t tell us not to fight. Take your time. Hahahaha!”
The last laugh was barely audible, proving how fast the man had gone.
And at that moment.
Udeuduk.
Baek Cheon’s hand, which clutched the mud, flashed as if it were tearing away. The mud in his hand fell into lumps.
Slowly, he lifted his head and slowly wiped the mud off his face with one hand. And he looked at Aksso disappearing in the distance.
“…….”
Suddenly, a voice colder than the snow in the North Sea escaped from his mouth.
“…… I’ll kill you, you bastards.”
Baek Cheon, who was filled with the will to the end of his head, started running like a beast with bloodshot eyes.
