Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 491

“…That’s damn right, really.”

Chung Myung clenched his fists.

In any case, these demonic sects were useless both in previous lives and now.

No, it’s preferable if they don’t assist.

“Ughh.”

He sighed and scratched his chin.

At the same time, his eyes were filled with an unsettling malice.

“…… I’d rather…….”

Chung Myung’s gaze moved slowly toward the Ice Crystal in his sleeve.

Magyo wants the Ice Crystal to resurrect Heavenly Demon. Of course, Chung Myung does not believe those insane people can truly resurrect the Heavenly Demon, but isn’t it true that a one in ten thousand chance of error is still a worthy probability?

“Should I just break everything?”

“What? The Ice Crystals!?”

The disciples of Mount Hua opened their mouths and eyes wide open.

“Hey, we worked so hard to dig this!”

“The hard work isn’t the problem right now! D*mn it!”

“Ho- How about the Chaos Origin Pill? What are you supposed to give to King Nokrim?”

“Chaos Origin Pill or whatever…….”

Chung Myung clenched his fists and teeth.

Of course, the promise made to King Nokrim is significant. But nothing compared to the ridiculously bad news of the Heavenly Demon’s resurrection.

Nokrim can’t take being slapped in the back of the head, but fighting Nokrim is a hundred times better than fighting the Heavenly Demon… No, it’s a million times better.

Only.

“Keuh, it’s so easy to say.”

What if those Magyo find out that all the Ice Crystals are gone and it is impossible to resurrect the Heavenly Demons?

‘They’ll literally be going crazy.’

It would be great if they were discouraged and depressed, but who are these people? It was obvious that they would flip their eyes and do everything they could.

If they run wild with foam in their mouths, it is clear that not a single ant will survive in the North Sea.

Because none of those Demonic Disciples are sane.

Therefore, this was really a method that should be considered only in the last resort.

So the only way left is…….

“In the end, we have to fight… … .”

Chung Myung groaned and grabbed his head.

“Those damn bastard Magyo, those crazy people have done it again. This time again! How can we deal with Magyo that we can’t handle even with the support of Jungwon!”

As if it was not enough, he rolled around the ground with foam in his mouth.

“Aagghhhhh! Nothing’s going work riiiigghhhtt.”

His crazed face gave the disciples a deep sigh.

Yoon Jong asked Baek Cheon softly.

“Shouldn’t you stop him?”

“That guy?”

“…….”

“How?”

Yoon Jong peeked at the prisoners behind and whispered again.

“……but there are many eyes.”

“It seems that you’re implying there was no eye to see at the Murim Competition.”

“…….”

Baek Cheon looked at Chung Myung with a face that had let go of many things.

‘It’s okay to go on a rampage, but please just come back to your senses after you’re done. I won’t expect too much from you.’

In fact, it was an understandable situation.

Although he says Chung Myung’s nerves are made up of iron cord, with the thing the Magyo looking for in his sleeve and Magyo’s eyes wide open right next to him, staying sane would be stranger.

‘Let’s calm down a little bit…..’

But just as Baek Cheon was about to open his mouth, Chung Myung suddenly jumped up.

The flinching Baek Cheon quickly looked at his expression.

It was a difficult expression to describe.

Anger, irritation, and injustice.

All those emotions seemed to be mixed into one, and Chung Myung’s lips began to twitch.

“…… this?”

His eyes soon began to gleam anxiously.

“Damn, did my work ever work out well? If the mountain blocks, I can just change the mountain, and if the river blocks, I can just twist the river!”

At the enthusiastic words, Baek Cheon smiled pleasedly.

‘Oh my god. That one is a Taoist. A Taoist.’

‘Chung Myung.’

‘Do you happen to know what ‘Muwijayon’ means?’ (무위자연(無爲自然)/ The Nature of Doing Nothing. Source.)

‘If Daode Tianzun sees you, he’ll collapse holding the back of his neck with foam in his mouth.’

But Chung Myung’s murmur continued.

“Alright. You’re saying you will resurrect him here, isn’t it?”

‘On what bases, you punk?’

Both eyes become bloodshot.

“Being unlucky is us both. You Magyo bastard, I’ll make you regret the fact that you caught my eye!”

Yoon Jong whispered again as he watched Chung Myung, who burst into anger with his whole body.

“Sasuk, the situation is a bit disturbing.”

“Yoon Jong-ah.”

“Yes.”

“If you turn your head around, you’ll feel safe.”

“…what do you mean?”

“It means it’s comfortable when you just give up.”

“…Baek Cheon Siju, that’s not what it means…….”

Hye Yeon, who was listening, softly intervened, but no one cared much.

Then Chung Myung turned his head and looked at Yosa Hon, the Elder of the past Ice Clan.

“Excuse me!”

“Yes?”

Yosa Hon flinched and replied at the sudden call.

“You’ve got a rough picture of the situation, haven’t you?”

Yosa Hon nodded quickly. In fact, he had no idea what was going on and how, but seeing the momentum that seemed to eat someone, he felt like he had to give an answer first.

“I was originally going to get just the right amount of information, but the situation has changed.”

“…what do you mean?”

“These bastards Magyo are not here because they were pushed out by the Jungwon people, but they came here for a purpose. The purpose of reviving Heavenly Demon!”

“…….”

“Whether it succeeds or fails, the North Sea is over. If they succeed, the North Sea is for sure over, and if they fail, these bastards will go wild.”

“No, how do you…….”

“That’s how Magyo is.”

‘I know because I’ve been through it, you punk! I am!’

Chung Myung glared his eyes.

“Mister!”

“…Yes?”

Yosa Hon.

He certainly wasn’t the kind of person who would be pushed by anyone either because of his past status or experience. But now he feels like being dragged by this young man from Mount Hua.

“If you are released from here, will you be able to back to the Ice Clan again?”

“Di- Did you ask us to go back to the Ice Clan again?”

“Yes.”

Yosa Hon looked at Chung Myung with a puzzled face.

“How can we, who have lost our internal strength, back to rule the Ice Clan again? Our internal strength has been sealed by the Magyo…..”

“I can fix that for you.”

“…Yes?”

“That seal, I can release it.”

Yosa Hon opened his eyes wide.

“Wha- What…….”

“Oh, are you deaf! I said I can lift the seal for you. I can help you get your internal strength back.”

“That’s, uh, how…….”

“How, what how?”

It is of course the Demonic Disciples who know the Demonic Art best in the world. However, except for them, it was none other than Chung Myung who had the highest understanding of Demonic Art.

Even when Magyo was in full swing, there was no one who knew the Demonic Art better than him except for Chung Jin. So what’s the point of saying it now?

And most of all…….

‘To hell with the seal being on different level’

‘That’s why you guys are falling short!’

Come to think of it, Chung Myung has changed so much since returned. He doesn’t say these things openly anymore.

If it was like the old Plum Blossom Sword Saint, he would have shouted it to his face and said, ‘You’re weak that’s why can’t undo the seal, you idiots.’

“I- Is that really possible?”

“Did you just think I’m bluffing! Do I look like a liar?”

“…….”

“…Why aren’t you answering?”

“No…… That…….”

The disciples of Mount Hua nodded at Yosa Hon, who hesitated to answer.

‘Maybe it’s because he was an Elder, but he has a good eye for people.’

‘I can’t help but trust him.’

Then Chung Myung clapped his hands with a determined face.

“Speak out.”

And asked again in a serious voice.

“Tell me. As long as I can get you guys to have your internal strength back and get out of here, can you to gather the forces of the former Clan Leader and the current Clan Leader?”

There was a touch of bewilderment on Yosa Hon’s face.

“……Well, that’s not easy.”

“Why? I heard that the current Clan Leader has lost a lot of public sentiment against him due to tyranny. Aren’t there a lot of people who support your side?”

Yosa Hon sighed deeply.

“Yes, but even so, not only the warriors of the Ice Clan but also the North Sea will not support us.”

“Why?”

“Because we don’t have Seol Household (설가(雪家)) member.”

Chung Myung asked back with a slight frown.

“Seol Household?”

“Yes. The leaders of the North Sea have been handed down from generation to generation by the Seol Household. Those who are not of Seol Household do not have the support of the North Sea people.”

Chung Myung, who was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth wide.

“No, what the hell is that… … .”

Mount Hua’s disciples were also forced to harden their faces.

“It really is an Empire.”

“I know right. It’s not like a sect.”

Even in Five Great Family, which is made up of blood relatives, a certain few do not monopolize the position of the head of the family.

“… … Then, are there any other suitable choices?”

Yosa Hon shook his head when asked by Baek Cheon.

“Seol Household has been our leader for generations. Seol Chonsang is the only one in the North Sea to carry on the legacy of the Seol Household.”

“Ugh.”

Chung Myung scratched his head thinking that something was going horribly wrong.

“No, is there really no other way?”

Had there been any other way, he would have tried it right away. Yosa Hon sighed as if she was frustrated.

“That’s why I told you that we want to borrow power from Jungwon. Due to the nature of the North Sea, nothing can be done without the lineage of the Seol Household. If you had a son of the former Clan Leader who ran away during the disaster, we could do something about it, but…….”

At that moment, Jo-Gol opened his mouth.

“Son of the former Clan Leader?”

“…Yes.”

Mount Hua’s disciples looked back at each other’s faces.

“That… Could be that Seol So-Baek guy?”

“I think so?”

Yosa Hon’s head lit up. With his eyes wide open, he asked in a trembling voice.

“Ho- How can you…….”

“I met him.”

Chung Myung replied with a sour voice.

“He was with a yangban called Han Yi-Myung.”

“Ge- General?”

All sorts of emotions swirled over Yosa Hon’s open-mouthed face.

Although the body was imprisoned here, how much effort has he made to hear news of them?

However, he hasn’t even been able to confirm their life or death even after years. But he didn’t expect to hear from them the news of Seol So-baek that he has been waiting for so long…….

He asked in an urgent voice.

“Whe- Where are they now?”

“I don’t know. Where did they go after that?”

At the heartbreaking reply, the hope on Yosa Hon’s face was rapidly extinguished.

“Ah……. Things could be different if only we knew their whereabouts…”

“Really?”

“……Yes, Young Master Seol is the enemy of the current Seol lineage. Those who follow the former Clan Leader will not hesitate to support him. If only we could find Young Master’s whereabouts… … Things could be different.”

“Hmm.”

Chung Myung rolled up the corners of his mouth.

“So, if we find that Seol So-Baek kid, you mean that we will be able to unite the forces from outside of the wall with the Clan Leader’s previous forces within the Ice Clan?”

“Yes, but how can we find him in this vast North Sea?”

Chung Myung smiles pleasedly.

“I fed and put this one to sleep, and the time has finally come for them to pay for their meals.”

“…Yes?”

Chung Myung tapped his chest.

“Hey, come out.”

‘Kiik?’

Then a bunch of white furs peeped out of his clothes. Maybe he was just woke, but his black and round eyes were covered with drowsiness.

Chung Myung grabbed Baek-ah’s waist and took him out.

“You remember that kid, don’t you?”

Baek-ah, caught in Chung Myung’s hand, nodded.

“You can find him, right?”

‘…….’

“I told you to remember the smell. You can find him, right?”

Baek-ah’s mouth began to open as he stared at Chung Myung for a moment.

Baek Cheon whispered to Jo-Gol when he saw the scene.

“Gol-ah. Do animals sweat?”

“I think dogs don’t sweat. What about marten….?”

“…I guess it’s sweating. Maybe it’s because he’s a Mythical Creature.”

It was clearly visible to them. The scene of thick beads of sweat forming on the back of Baek-ah’s head.

Chung Myung once again asked.

“Why? Can’t you find him?”

‘Kii!’

There was no way to understand a beast’s words, but strangely, they could understand the meaning of that cry accurately.

If it was put to human words, ‘Hey, you crazy man. How do you find a person with just one smell in this vast place?’

“Can’t you find him?”

…….

“You can’t find him?”

…….

Sweat flowed down from the back of Baek-ah’s head.

“Really?”

Chung Myung’s eyes began to glisten with madness. Eventually, Baek-ah nodded very quickly.

‘Kii! Kiiii! Kiii!’

“That’s right. You should.”

Chung Myung put Baek-ah on the ground with a smile on his face.

“Well, that’s simple.”

He turned his head and looked at Mount Hua’s disciples and Hye Yeon.

“We don’t usually get involved in other people’s affairs, but it can’t be helped because of the situation.”

“……what are you going to do?”

“What am I gonna do?”

Chung Myung grinned.

“I’m going to kill those Magyo cubs.”

“…isn’t there a shortage of manpower?”

“What do you mean lacking? The manpower are all over the Ice Clan!”

“Yo- You…… Don’t tell me?”

“Yes.”

Chung Myung had blue energy shining in his eyes.

“Find that Seol So-Baek or something and make him a puppet……. No, use him well to make the warriors of the Ice Clan stand on our side! And I will lead the Ice Clan and wipe out all of those Magyo bastards!”

Chung Myung, who explained it briefly in a powerful voice, smiled brightly.

“It’s simple, right?

“Uh……. It’s very simple.”

‘Everything’s fine except it looks easier to go to hell.’

‘You rotten……..’
