Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 483
“What the hell are you doing!”
“Rude!”
Chung Myung waved his other hand just as Mount Hua’s disciples were about to rush into Song Won.
“Enough, that’s enough. Calm down.”
“…….”
“I’m sure you have something to check.”
He then smiled and looked at Song Won, who was holding his hand.
“How’s it going? Are you done checking?”
Song Won alternately looked at Chung Myung’s face and hands with subtle eyes.
Soon after letting go of his hand, he took a step back and bowed deeply.
“Excuse me. I was rude because I thought it was better to be certain of anything. Esteemed guests, please forgive my rudeness.”
“The Clan Leader must be happy. Such a meticulous person is in charge.”
“I’m flattered.”
Song Won looked at others and said,
“If you have any inconvenience, please let me know. Call me as I promised and I’ll show you around the Ice Clan.”
“Yes, thank you.”
When Baek Cheon answered as a representative, Song Won peeked around the room once again and withdrew.
“Hmm.”
Chung Myung smiled as he looked at the door that Song Won had closed. Baek Cheon and other disciples swarmed him and asked.
“Why is he holding your hand all of a sudden?”
“I know right.”
“You said you were hurt.”
Chung Myung grinned.
“It’s a trick.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung shrugged instead of answering in detail.
‘That yangban is a bit of a tough guy.’
Song Won’s act would have hit anyone else.
He seemed to be a man of caution.
In any case, Baek Cheon, who thought the situation had been sorted out, looked at his Sahyung with a stiff face.
“Everyone, listen.”
Everyone paid serious attention to him.
“At any rate, it’s true that they suspected us.”
“Yes.”
“Everyone, don’t forget that this is a remote place; be careful of your manners.”
“Sasuk.”
“In order not to get caught… … .”
“Sasu.”
“Yes?”
Baek Cheon, who felt a hand on his shoulder, reflexively turned his head. He was Chung Myung smiling brightly.
“……what?”
“No, well….”
He picked his ear a couple of times and blew it with his mouth.
“I saw a strange sight yesterday.”
“…….”
“Someone closed the window while looking at me?”
“…….”
“Who?”
That…….
He has such a good memory.
* * *
Step. Step.
Song Won’s face hardened seriously as he walked down the hallway.
‘Is it an illusion?’
One can’t hide their body shape even if one wears a mask. The body shape of the intruder was clearly very similar to that of a martial artist named Chung Myung.
But…….
‘There was no Yin energy in his body.’
Anyone who has dealt with the White Ice Divine Palm-level Yin qigong must have Yin energy left in his body. No matter how great a person was, it was impossible to dissolve that energy in half a day.
But when Song Wol held his hand and checked, there was not even the smallest Yin energy in the body of that Chung Myung.
‘At that age, to be able to block the Clan Leader’s attack without any wounds, and even dissolve the Yin energy… … .’
It must be Mount Hua God rather than Mount Hua Divine Dragon.
Then, thinking about it with common sense, Chung Myung could never be the intruder.
But…….
“I feel uncomfortable.”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing.”
Song Won frowned slightly as he shook his head at the subordinate who looked at him with puzzled gaze.
‘What happened?’
The opponent’s body was as clean as ever. There was no doubt.
Nevertheless, it is because of the other person’s attitude that makes him feel uncomfortable.
‘Anyone who is in a position to be investigated by as an outsider at the Ice Clan should show the least fear or discomfort.’
However, this opponent was very confident. As if he knew what Song Won would do in advance and prepared beforehand.
“…… I might be overthinking it.”
Song Won peeked around the room where the disciple of Mount Hua live.
“We’ll see.”
He looked straight ahead and hurried again.
* * *
“Pft…….”
“…….”
“Pffft…….”
“Jo-Gol.”
“What?”
“Don’t laugh, if you don’t want to die.”
“……Yes.”
Jo-Gol clenched his teeth desperately as he saw a bump on Baek Cheon’s head. His swollen cheeks seemed to burst at any given time because he was trying to hold back his laughter, but if he laughed more here, he would really be beaten to death.
“… … Let’s continue what we were talking about.”
“Let’s keep talking.”
“Yes. Sasuk……Pffft.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon looked up at the ceiling with empty eyes.
‘Life…’
How the hell did he live to deserve something like this?
“Hey, hey. Don’t do that. Sasuk might die early.”
“Oh, stop it!”
“Sthwop iht.”
“Argh!”
It was only a little while before Baek Cheon sighed and asked Chung Myung.
“So…… he seems didn’t very friendly with the Magyo?”
“Yes.”
Baek Cheon frowned at Chung Myung’s words.
“I don’t understand. According to Han Yi-Myung, the North Sea Ice Clan brings in Magyo.”
“That’s right.”
“But they look down on each other? Is that possible?”
Chung Myung replied in a nonchalant way.
“Is there any reason why they can’t?”
“……Huh?”
“It has happened many times in history to attract external enemies to hit internal enemies. But that doesn’t mean you have to be friendly with said external enemies.”
“… … Does it mean that it is a relationship only when the conditions are right between each other?”
“That’s right.”
Chung Myung nodded lightly.
“Indeed.”
Baek Cheon muttered to himself. He definitely understood that part. But then, something else caught on.
“If it’s a relationship only when the conditions are right, it means that Magyo has something to gain from here, too.”
“Hm.”
“I thought that Magyo was trying to take control of the Ice Clan and turn it into their branch. But if it’s not, what the hell are they aiming for?”
Chung Myung grinned at Baek Cheon’s question.
“I don’t know.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon’s face, which was so serious, was twisted.
“Is Sasuk an idiot? Why would we come here if we knew that? We just need to tell Shaolin to take care of it.”
“…….”
“Did you lose your mind after getting hit?”
He doesn’t know if his head has deteriorated, but steam is definitely coming out of his head.
“… That’s enough. I’m a fool for asking you.”
“You know it well.”
Finally, when Baek Cheon was dyed red and about to have a seizure, Tang So-so quickly intervened in their conversation.
“Isn’t Magyo trying to get something from the Ice Clan?”
“Hm?”
“Magyo was originally based in the south of Jungwon. There must be a purpose for these people to come all the way to the North Sea. Otherwise, there is no reason to come to this barren place. There must be many places close by where the influence of Jungwon people does not reach.”
Baek Cheon nodded in agreement.
“Ugh. I think so too.”
At that moment, Chung Myung clapped his hands and jumped up.
“Ah! That’s right!”
“What?”
“Document! I’ve got his document! Baek-ah!”
When Chung Myung shouted, Baek-ah, who was curled up in a blanket, stuck his head out.
“That! Where’s the paper?”
When Chung Myung asked, Baek-ah nodded a couple of times quickly and ran toward the window. Then he slammed the latch on the window open and walked out.
Baek Cheon asked as he stared blankly at the process that happened in an instant.
“… … Did it just unlock that latch now?”
“It’s a Mythical Creature.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon wondered what the marten would do to become a Mythical Creature, and why it would become smart when became one.
‘Anyway, there’s nothing normal.’
Tadak.
The window that had closed then opened again. Baek-ah with a pile of paper in his mouth came inside.
‘I think he just opened the window with his hand.’
‘………No. Let’s let it be, let it be..’
Whether it is indeed a Mythical Creature, Baek-ah did not bring the papers in his mouth to Chung Myung, but handed them over to Baek Cheon.
This was proof that he was really smart.
“……what is this?”
“It was in the Clan Leader’s room. I’ve got it for you! Hehe!”
Baek Cheon smiled delightedly, looking at his Sajil that looked so proud.
‘A Taoist who proudly says that he stole.’
‘O’ Great Tian Zun.’
‘What the hell are you going to do with Mount Hua? Just what!’
Stealing is one thing, but he had to look at it for now.
Leaving a chant in his mind, he soon began to examine the papers with serious eyes.
Chwarak! Chwararararak!
The document passed quickly.
Tok!
After a quick glance at it all, Baek Cheon grinned.
“Chung Myung-ah.”
“What?”
“How did you get away with the people of the Ice Clan yesterday?”
“Didn’t I explain that?”
Chung Myung put strength on his shoulder as if he had been scratched on the right spot.
“These punks stuck to me like leeches and bothered me. So I made a hole in that lake and hid down there to lose them!”
“…down the lake?”
“Yes! I’m the only one who can show that kind of wit in an instant. No matter how meticulous they are, they wouldn’t search under a frozen lake! I am smart, am I?”
Chung Myung proudly stretched out his belly.
Baek Cheon smiled even more brightly.
“Under the lake?”
“I thought I was freezing.”
“You mean you’re in the water, right?”
“Why do you keep asking? Don’t you understand what am I saying?”
“Uhuh. I understand. You mean you got the documents and took them into the water, right?”
“……Huh?”
Baek Cheon threw the papers in his hand at Chung Myung and scattered them.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! You can’t go into the water with ink paper! It’s been wiped clean! As clear and clean as your head!”
Chung Myung snatched the pile of paper and quickly looked over it.
“……This shouldn’t be the case.”
White.
The clear and transparent water in the North Sea turned even the paper he carried into very clear and transparent.
“…… I’ve been through a lot of trouble.…?”
Chung Myung, who staggering as if he had lost his mind, trudged to the front of the brazier and lit the fire.
“What are you doing?”
“My heart is cold, so I want to warm my body.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon pressed down on his throbbing temple and asked.
“……so did you get anything else?”
“Sasuk.”
“Huh?”
“What made you think there could be?”
“……I should not have talked to you.”
Baek Cheon grabbed his head with one hand and screamed. He touched the spot where he was beaten by Chung Myung.
“I’m telling you, it’s not working.”
Then Tang So-so, who stole the paper from Chung Myung, shouted as if she had found something.
“Sasuk! The word’ Ice Crystal’ is still there.”
“Ice Crystal?”
“Yes, Ice Crystal. This is a mountain…… Well, it sounds like a calculation.”
Reading the paper through a light, Tang So-so read the words and stuttered. Then, Chung Myung, who had been sitting helplessly, turned his head.
“Ah, right! I heard the Clan Leader talking to the Elder, and it seemed like Magyo were asking for Ice Crystals.”
“Ice Crystals?”
“Yes. I thought he said it was hard to meet the demand because it was too much.”
“……Magyo demands an Ice Crystals?”
Baek Cheon clasped his chin thoughtfully.
“Then maybe the Ice Crystals didn’t circulate well in Jungwon because of the feelings against Jungwon, but because of the lack of goods.”
“Amitabha.”
Hye Yeon, who was listening silently to their story, hinted.
“Why does Magyo need those Ice Crystals? So much that even the Ice Clan can’t handle their demand.”
“…I don’t know.”
Baek Cheon is stuck in his head and in agony.
‘Something doesn’t fit.’
People disappearing, and great demand for Ice Crystals…….
“It seems certain that Magyo is up to something in the North Sea.”
“I think so, Sasuk.”
Baek Cheon asked as he looked at Chung Myung, who was beside the brazier.
“So what are we going to do now? Even if we gather more information, it doesn’t seem easy to get more from inside the Ice Clan.”
“I suppose so.”
“And it is difficult to find Magyo’s base in this wide North Sea. It’s just a coincidence that we were able to find demonic disciple back then.”
“That’s right, too.”
“Then there’s no way.”
But Chung Myung smirked when he said there was no way.
“Why are we looking for them?”
“Huh?”
“If those bastards were doing something in the North Sea, they would be on their nerves right now, so we don’t have to look for them. If we make enough of a fuss, they will come to us by themselves, right?”
“…….”
“Have you heard the word ‘Beat the grass to scare the snake’? (타초경사(打草驚蛇)) If you touch the grass, the snake will come out independently.”
“Right, and then you’ll usually be bitten by the snake.”
“……Huh?”
‘That seems true…….’
Baek Cheon sighed as Chung Myung tilted his head. And with his fingertips, he gently stroked his chin.
Anyway, he understood half of it, but there’s still a question left.
“So what are we gonna do?”
Chung Myung grinned as he thought of something.
“I heard they’re looking for Ice Crystals.”
“That’s right.”
“But we need it, too.”
“… That’s right.”
Baek Cheon was beginning to feel uneasy.
Then…
“Sasuk.”
“Yes?”
“You know what?”
“What…….”
“I mean.”
Sure enough, Chung Myung’s eyes began to glisten with madness in no time.
“I’d rather set fire to the Ice Clan than watch my belongings fall to those Magyo bastards.”
“…….”
“From now on, the Ice Crystals are all mine. Anyone who touches it will die!”
Baek Cheon smiled pleasedly.
‘Ah, right.’
‘Do as you please.’
‘As you please.’
