Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 510
A war’s end is always in vain.
And dealing with post-war issues is not always easy. Particularly if a minority subdues the majority, they will be forced to deal with the post-war issue.
Yosa Hon began by seizing the weapons of the Ice Clan warriors.
Of course, it can’t be said that they completely dominated them.
It’s not as if you can’t fight just because you don’t have a weapon, and it’s not particularly useful for those learning Palm or Fist art.
However, in Yosa Hon’s opinion, they were people who would eventually become a family. As a result, rather than pushing them too hard, it would have been better for the Ice Clan’s future to take proper care of them.
The current Ice Clan warriors also obeyed the orders without resistance, either because they knew Yosa Hon’s mind or because they believed that rebellion would be futile as long as Seol Chonsang died.
“It sounds like a lie.”
“Hm.”
Baek Cheon nodded quietly at Yoon Jong’s words.
The blizzard that hit again covered all traces of fierce fighting in white as soon as the war ended. As if the North Sea also did not want the aftermath of this war to last long.
“Aren’t they originally members of one family?”
“That’s true.”
“Elder Yo isn’t a pushover either, he’ll take care of it alone. This is none of our business.”
“Yes.”
They talked about war, but their voices didn’t contain much power. They were having a conversation, but their minds seemed to be elsewhere.
Their eyes were fixed on the door in front of them.
“…Will he be all right?”
“Yes?”
“The injury looked pretty big.”
“There is no need to be worried. Why are you worrying about Chung Myung?”
“That’s true, but…….”
Yoon Jong looked at Baek Cheon, blurring the end of his words.
He spoke calmly, but Baek Cheon’s face was also full of nervousness. Unlike them, who were not particularly injured, Chung Myung was seriously injured in the fight against Seol Chonsang.
Baek Cheon covered his mouth with his hand without saying a word.
‘That damn bastard.’
He knows why he had to do that. He understands with his head.
If Chung Myung hadn’t cut Seol Chonsang’s throat in one go, the war would have lasted much longer. Then, an incomparable amount of blood would have soaked the land of the North Sea.
It was a war where there was no room for compromise between each other, and it would never end until one side was utterly defeated.
In the end, Chung Myung significantly reduced the number of people who might be sacrificed in this war. That’s why…. Though it was too overkill.
It is something to praise both as a Taoist and as a warrior, but strangely, Baek Cheon did not feel like it.
Baek Cheon slightly clenched and relaxed his fist. Then Yoon Jong opened his mouth again.
“Will he be all right?”
“Why do you keep asking me the same thing?”
“No, it’s not like that…..”
Yoon Jong hesitated slightly and glanced toward the door and said.
“… … Aside from his body, wasn’t Chung Myung very different from usual? For no reason…….”
“…….”
Baek Cheon looked at the tightly closed door without answering.
‘Different…’
He knows what Yoon Jong is talking about. But there was only one answer.
“But he’s still Chung Myung.”
“…….”
“Isn’t that enough?”
Yoon Jong eventually nodded silently. Just then, a low voice came from a corner.
“Same.”
The two who were talking turned to one side.
Yoo Iseol, standing with her back against the wall, was looking at their side with an expressionless face.
“Nothing different.”
“…Yes.”
Baek Cheon nodded slowly in agreement. Of course, he knows that Yoon Jong brought it up because he was worried about Chung Myung. That’s why Baek Cheon didn’t blame him.
“However… Chung Myung’s attitude may be slightly different than usual, so please understand. There will probably be an aftermath after such a battle.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
“We’re going to…….”
It was the moment when Baek Cheon tried to continue his word with solemn gazes.
“Aaakkh!”
A desperate scream came from the door.
“Wha- What!”
“Is it an attack?”
Surprised, Mount Hua’s disciples jumped to their feet in fright. The voice from the inside blocked Baek Cheon, who was about to kick the door at once.
“Argh! Argh! It hurts! How can you tie a bandage like that? The wound is going to burst!”
“You’re so loud! Why won’t you stay still?”
“Akh! Akh! Arms! Arms. My arms! No, it hurts there! It hurts!”
“How dare you turn your body into a rag and complain! I’m going to turn your head around!”
“…….”
Baek Cheon sighed as he listened to the violent voices.
“…… Let’s go in for now.”
With those words as a signal, everyone rushed open the door and went inside.
“No! Hey! Is this a treatment? This?”
“Stay still, don’t you dare! Do you want to have a needle on the top of your head?”
Tang So-so climbed on Chung Myung’s back, who was lying face down with bandages and stabbed him without mercy.
Baek Cheon smiled pleased as he looked at Chung Myung, who was almost turned into a hedgehog.
‘He doesn’t change at all.’
It’s faster to wait for the North Sea to become a desert than to expect that bastard to change.
The contemplative Chung Myung screamed the whole time.
“No, the needle! What needle is the size of a person’s palm? No matter how you look at it, it’s not a treatment!”
“Why would you tell them apart!? It’s up to the practicer!”
“That sounds like no!”
Baek Cheon, who saw Chung Myung shaking his whole body, chinned.
“Guys.”
“Yes, Sasuk!”
“Hold and press him down!”
“Yes!”
Jo-Gol, Yoon Jong, and Yoo Iseol rushed in and suppressed Chung Myung. Chung Myung’s resistance grew stronger, but neither did the three let go of him.
“You traitors! Do you think I’ll forget this grudge?!”
“Hey, you’re noisy.”
Baek Cheon clicked his tongue with a slight frown.
“No, why does a guy who doesn’t even blink an eye when a sword is stabbed in his body go crazy after seeing a needle?”
“Why?! Why is that strange? Shall I stab a needle in the top of Sasuk’s head? Is it fine?”
Then Tang So-so clenched his teeth and slapped Chung Myung on the back.
“Be quiet! Quiet! Don’t move!”
“Argh! It hurts there! There!”
Chung Myung, who had been raging for so long, finally managed to calm down after Yoo Iseol grabbed his head tightly and slammed it with a bang.
Baek Cheon, who sighed deeply, asked Tang So-so implicitly.
“How is it?”
Then she replied in a slightly irritated voice.
“How is it, you ask? It’s similar to last time. No, I don’t know why this yangban always makes his body like this whenever he fights. Does he have a hobby of having his body sewed?!”
Tang So-so stared at Chung Myung with fierce eyes, as if she was angry again.
It was so powerful that even the world-famous Chung Myung flinched.
Hye Yeon, who was watching the scene, helped with a gentle smile.
“Amitabha, but thanks to the heavy work of Chung Myung Siju, everything is fine… … .”
“Monk Hye Yeon.”
“Yes?”
“Be quiet.”
“…Yes.”
Hye Yeon was crushed into the corner, quietly chanting beyond anyone’s hearing.
Squeeze.
Finally, Tang So-so, who collected all the needles and tied the bandage, frowned and came down from Chung Myung’s back.
“For now, I’ve cleared up all the physical wounds, so he’ll be fine if he takes a little rest. Chung Myung Sahyung tends to heal quickly.”
“Right?”
“Yeah, right. Just keep it up and die.”
“…….”
Slightly perplexed, Baek Cheon dissuaded Tang So-so with an awkward face.
“H- He’s a patient, let’s not be too harsh on him.”
“Has Sasuk ever thought that maybe I let him keep his life only because he’s a patient?”
“…….”
Baek Cheon smiled.
‘I must never get hurt.’
What doctor is scarier than the enemy?
“Uuugh.”
Then Chung Myung, who was lying on his face, rose to his feet.
“Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but this body…….”
“No, you crazy bastard! How old are you!”
“You’re the one to be punished by Heaven!”
“Ha… What do you guys know?”
Chung Myung waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the spot.
Seeing Chung Myung wearing a bandage all over his body, Mount Hua’s disciples felt heavy for no reason.
“Are you all right?”
“This is nothing.”
“…… Did a man who kicked such a fuss about being stabbed with a needle say that now?”
Chung Myung said, glaring at Baek Cheon.
“So-so, give me a needle.”
“Why? Is it not enough? Do you want me to put one on top of Sahyung’s head?
“……No.”
The sullen Chung Myung looked at Baek Cheon and asked.
“So what’s the situation like?”
Baek Cheon let out a sigh and opened his mouth.
“The cleanup is getting neater than I thought. Even the people who followed the Clan Leader Seol Chonsang listened to Elder Yosa Hon without much resistance. It seemed a bit strange to us.”
“Because this place is more similar to a kingdom than a great family.”
What if there is a rebellion in Mount Hua Sect and someone defeats Hyun Jong and claims himself as the Sect Leader?
‘These bastards will be divided into five parts on that day.’
Certainly, Yoon Jong, Yoo Iseol, and Baek Cheon will suddenly turn into asuras and go crazy without Chung Myung.
“Elder Yo is in a hurry to have Seol So-baek Sogungju ascend to Clan Leader’s throne. The North Sea Ice Clan is a place where they can’t live without the Clan Leader.”
“Anyway. It’s a burden for the child.”
Chung Myung clicked his tongue.
“Right, it is true that a group of people is better off with a head. Especially here.”
Some aspects are difficult to understand with their Jungwon mindset, but each person has their own reasons for living. He had no intention of debating whether it was right or wrong.
Mount Hua Sect’s methods are also full of things that others won’t understand.
“It needs to be sorted out as soon as possible. We don’t have leeway for time.”
Speaking in a low voice, Chung Myung jumped to his feet.
“Why are you getting up all of a sudden?”
“I’m gonna go see Yosa Hon.”
“Hey! A patient is…….”
“Who cares about being a patient.”
Chung Myung’s eyes shone slightly cold, neatly interrupting Baek Cheon’s words.
“I’m not in a position to argue that. We must finish cleaning up as soon as possible and care for those Magyo bastards.”
“……I know that, but you don’t have to go. We’ll go and deliver the message. Elder Yo seemed to be busy working on it, too.”
Chung Myung smirked at Baek Cheon’s worried remarks.
“Sasuk.”
“Yes?”
“Sasuk is good……. No, Sasuk has all bad quality, but there’s one particularly bad.”
“What, this punk?”
Chung Myung continued, ignoring the enraged Baek Cheon.
“I’m just saying that you see a human being in too much good light.”
“… What do you mean?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
A strange sneer hung around his lips.
“Those who have nothing do not know how to look back, but those who have something tend to look back and hesitate.”
He said it with a smile, but there was a strange chill.
No, there was even a bit of bitterness.
Everyone was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and couldn’t stop him. They just stared blankly at the back that went out of the room.
Then Chung Myung, who had been walking, stopped. Then he said without looking back.
“Oh, and.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung stood still without saying a word.
Just as Jo-Gol, tired of waiting, was about to say a word, a strange voice came out of Chung Myung’s mouth.
“Everyone did well this time.”
“…….”
Mount Hua’s disciples looked at Chung Myung with wide eyes.
But as if he had said all he had to say, he disappeared without regret.
“…….”
Jo-Gol jumped up from his seat and headed for the window.
“What are you doing?”
“No, I wanted to check if the sun had risen from the west.”
“…….”
“If not, So-so. Did he take the wrong medicine?”
“He didn’t take any medicine. If something is wrong, I must have stabbed the wrong needle… … .”
Yoo Iseol, who was opening her mouth as if she was speechless, muttered with her head down.
“……It was a good night.”
It was unbelievable.
Gosh.
To think that praise comes out of Chung Myung’s mouth.
Wasn’t Chung Myung the one who was nagging them even when they beat his famous disciples at the Murim Competition and when they knocked down a unit leader of Myriad Man House?
“… … As I live, days like this come.”
“That’s right, Sahyung.”
Baek Cheon, briefly lost in thought, stood up and turned away.
“Let’s not talk nonsense and follow.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
A small smile crept across his lips as he walked ahead.
