Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 542
”I think I’ll live a little longer.”
“It gives my body some strength.”
Mount Hua’s disciples and Hye Yeon, who sat around together, checked their bodies by turning their shoulders and bending their necks. Their body has definitely become much lighter.
” Keuhhh, it is indeed Gongchong Elixir!”
“Even a drop of it has such a great effect! As expected of the elixir among elixir!”
“Amitabha. After all, people should eat well… … .”
But Chung Myung’s face was rather pale. There was even dew in his eyes that closed tightly.
‘Things like a hungry ghost.’
Do they steal Gongchong Elixir because there is nothing to steal from the world?
Even if it does not reach Chaos Origin Pill, Gongchong Elixir always appears when discussing the best medicine in the world.
Such a precious thing…….
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes?”
Baek Cheon’s face turned sour as he looked at Chung Myung.
“Huh, who is the guy who did all sorts of tricks to give us even less of that drop?”
“That’s what I’m saying, Sasuk. I’ve never seen such a small drop in my life. Dropping by a little like that is also an ability.”
“Miser.”
Chung Myung roared at the outpouring of resentment.
“You don’t understand what this is!”
“Yes, yes. This low self doesn’t know it.”
“Oh, cheer up! Cheer up!”
Chung Myung wipes the damp corner of his eye.
‘It’s something to see after living for a long time. I didn’t know the day would come when I was ripped off mine.’
– It’s karma, you punk.
“Kaaaagh!”
‘Ah, you!’
‘Don’t come out of nowhere!’
Chung Myung suddenly spat into the air, but everyone thought it was understandable.
“By the way, Chung Myung.”
“What?”
“Are you all right?”
When asked by Baek Cheon, Chung Myung looked at him silently for a moment. Then he shook his head with clouded eyes.
“…… Asking for such an Elixir. I wonder where you sell your conscience to.”
“No, because you don’t seem to eat well.”
“I’m not weaklings like Sasuk. Some may suffer from injuries like this, but I’m fine with it!”
“Really? Then how about giving another drop to this weakling.….”
“Don’t touch it! Hands off!”
As soon as Baek Cheon saw Chung Myung squirming and screaming like a wildcat, he smacked his lips and pulled out his hand.
“By the way, even though I drank that precious Gongchong Elixir, my body is still imperfect.”
“It means you’ve been hurt that much.”
Yoon Jong trembled and sighed. Indeed, it was a terrible fight that would be remembered
forever. Goosebumps ran down his spine.
“Anyway, we’ve overcome Magyo.”
“We even defeated a bishop!”
The shoulders of Mount Hua’s disciples began to rise endlessly.
But unfortunately, there was a demon in front of them who couldn’t keep his eyes open and watch people’s shoulders rise.
“Defeat the bishop?”
Chung Myung’s head began to tilt crookedly. Flinching Jo-Gol shouted.
“Wha- What! What’s more, you want to refute!”
“No, well.”
Chung Myung said with a shrug.
“It’s free to be misunderstood, but I thought it would be better to know the truth. The Bishop we have defeated is not a proper bishop.”
“…….”
“A proper Bishop or a proper force of Magyo would not be alone in such a remote place and doing nonsense in the first place.”
“I heard that doing nonsense is characteristic of Magyo.”
“It’s not like that.”
Chung Myung shook his head with a determined face.
“As you may know from what the self-proclaimed Bishop has said, they have been ostracized within the Demonic Cult. He had to separate from the main force and survive alone, so he couldn’t even train comfortably.”
“Then…….”
Yoon Jong opened his mouth with a slightly hardened face. Then he gulped the dry saliva down.
“Are you saying that real Bishops and a real force of Magyo are stronger?”
“Why did you ask something so obvious?”
Chung Myung snorted.
“No matter how much…….”
However, it seemed to be incomprehensible to Yoon Jong.
The power of Magyo that he witnessed with his own eyes was terrifying. Wasn’t only the minority of them could almost completely extinct, not to mention the disciples of Mount Hua, but even the whole Ice Clan?
And yet it’s not a proper force of Magyo?
“Just look at the results.”
“Yes?”
“No matter how low the branch is, if the Demonic Cult’s believer were at the level of being defeated by one of the Ice Clan Warriors bastards in the first place, would Jungwon have been helplessly pushed by the Demonic Cult a hundred years ago?”
“…….”
The faces of Mount Hua’s disciples become strange.
It doesn’t sound so wrong. Of course, the disciples of Mount Hua Sect were active in driving out the Demonic Cult in the Ice Clan, but if that’s the case, wouldn’t there have been more warriors than them in Jungwon’s crisis a hundred years ago?
“What we’ve dealt with is a bunch of people who are pathetic even within Magyo.”
“…I see.”
They don’t want to believe it, but the more they heard it, the more it is understandable.
“…The real Magyo…….”
The faces of Mount Hua’s disciples have become even more serious.
‘Oh my god, those guys were still alive and breathing.’
When they thought about how complacent the days they had lived without feeling that fact, it felt like their blood was cooling down.
“And when Heavenly Demon is added to them…….”
Chung Myung shook his head at Yoon Jong’s murmur.
“Yes, it is Magyo who almost wiped out Jungwon.”
“……Heavenly Demon…….”
Then Jo-Gol asked as if he had remembered something.
“By the way, Chung Myung. What happened there? Did the Heavenly Demon really almost resurrect?”
“Resurrection my ass.”
Chung Myung snorted.
“They did some trick, but I hit and blew it in the head effortlessly.”
“… … That’s really fortunate.”
What would have happened if Heavenly Demon had resurrected when even the Bishop was so terrible?
But the fact that they had overcome such trouble did not reassure them very much. It was because they found out that other branches of Magyo with more power than they dealt with now still exist in the world.
Chung Myung smirked as he looked at everyone’s faces, which became serious as if he was proud.
“Well, there’s nothing to be so gloomy about.”
“Huh?”
“On the other hand, the Bishop is the Bishop, and even if it is clumsy, the Cultists is still the Cultist. It’s great to fight against those guys and overcome them.”
“… … Aren’t you really sick and giving us medicines too much?”
“I gave you a bottle, I!”
Baek Cheon sighed and shook his head as Chung Myung shouted with an unhappy face.
“Anyway, I knew one thing.”
“What?”
“That it can’t go on like this.”
There was a firm will in his eyes.
“Magyo is stronger than we think. If such Magyo attacks Jungwon with full force as they did in the past, there is no guarantee that Mount Hua Sect will be safe.”
Everyone nodded in unison at the words.
They fully felt the power of Magyo. And the fact that Mount Hua Sect is not strong enough to stop them now.
“We need to be stronger.”
“And what do you mean by ‘we’?”
“Not only us here, but Mount Hua Sect as a whole should be stronger. I don’t want to see anyone in Mount Hua die under their swords.”
“I agree.”
“I think so, Sasuk!”
They looked at each other and nodded emphatically. A light smile spread around Chung Myung’s mouth.
‘Yes, Adversaries make people stronger.’
It’s a really shitty word to say out loud, but Southern Edge Sect made Mount Hua Sect stronger, followed by Shaolin and other Ten Great Sect.
It is not easy for anyone to continue their training with the will to be stronger on their own.
When one has an opponent they don’t want to lose or an opponent they want to overcome, they can work harder and try harder, eventually becoming stronger.
Seeing them set goals for themselves and solidify their will, it felt that he could now acknowledge the people before him as a complete martial artist.
“Then as soon as we get back to Mount Hua, we’ll have to roll Sajes to death.”
“I’ll show them hell.”
“I’ll make them feel exactly what we feel against the Magyo!”
“Kill them.”
“…….”
‘Uh…’
‘Guys?’
‘The direction is a bit….… Uh…… I think it’s a little, no, a lot different from what I thought.’
‘Huh?’
“Amitabha.”
Hye Yeon, who was silent then, opened his mouth as he assumed Banzhang’s stance.
“I also learned a lot. I honestly couldn’t understand why Bangjang had to risk so many sacrifices to send Siju to this place. However, after learning that the Demonic Cult is so dangerous, Bangjang’s wisdom and insight… … .”
“Right! That goddamn fake monk bastard!”
“… Fa- Fake ….”
Hye Yeon was speechless. Fire erupted from Chung Myung’s eyes, which had been quiet.
“It was said that some Demonic cultists are hiding here, but there’s a whole branch instead?
Damn it, it’s a lie whenever he opens his mouth! Things that will fall into hell!”
“L- Lie……. Hell…….”
“When I return to Jungwon, I pull all the hair out of that fake monk……. Oh, he has none!
Then I’ll tear his beard off! I will!”
Originally, what Hye Yeon should have said at this point was, ‘No matter how much you say it, it’s too much considering it is Bangjang of Shaolin we were talking about.’.
However, such words could not be said in front of Chung Myung, who breathed out a dragon-like breath with his eyes.
“Si- Siju, let’s calm down for now.….”
“I’ll charge him extra.”
It was Baek Cheon who was next to Hye Yeon who interrupted the word at once. Then the other disciples joined hands to help.
“Of course. The pay is not worth it. It doesn’t fit.”
“Let’s take this opportunity to uproot the pillars of Shaolin!”
“We need to melt the Buddha statue and sell it out.”
“…….”
‘Bangjang.’
‘It’s full of Demon (Maguni/마구니) here.
Hye Yeon was speechless as Mount Hua’s disciples expressed their hostility toward Shaolin with all their hearts and soul.
Those who were angry were not a problem. The biggest problem is…… He felt that it was plausible to say that they should get additional reward from Shaolin.
“Amitabha! Amitabha!”
‘Since when did my head get so full of wicked thought!’
‘No…… but on second thought, I don’t think Siju’s words are wrong either.’
“Keuhhh. Amitabha.”
Hye Yeon was distressed, feeling serious confusion about identity. Fortunately, however, someone appeared to save him just in time.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
The door opened at Baek Cheon’s words. Soon Seol So-baek and Han Yi-myung, dressed in pure white uniforms, rushed inside.
“Dojang! When I heard that you had regained consciousness, I ran right away! Are you feeling better now?”
Seol So-baek ran right in front of Chung Myung with sparkling eyes.
“Oh my.” (In a tone as if you’re saying to a child.)
“What did you say to the Clan Leader!”
“You rude bastard!”
“You have to be hit!”
Everyone screamed and rebuked him, but Chung Myung didn’t hear them and snorted.
Fixed his eyes on Seol So-baek, he asked.
“You must be busy. Why are you here?”
“There is always a priority in work, Dojang! No matter how important things are, there is nothing more important than to show gratitude to Dojang that saved the North Sea!”
“Hahaha. Look how clever you are.”
‘He is raised well. Very well raised.’
Chung Myung grinned as he was so pleased.
Now that Mount Hua’s disciples are trying to somehow beat him and rob him of his stuff, Seol So-baek looks even cuter like an obedient puppy.
Seol So-baek’s eyes shone even more.
“I don’t know how to express this gratitude, Dojang! Thanks to Dojang, the Ice Clan has avoided extinction and the North Sea has escaped great trouble. I really, really appreciate it.”
“Is that so?”
Chung Myung’s smile spread even more pleasantly.
“Of course, Dojang!”
“Then you must know it, don’t you?”
“Of course, isn’t it said that you’re just like a beast if you don’t know grace? This Seol So-baek may not have learned much, but I’m not a beast! I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life.”
Seol So-baek’s face was as serious as ever. Chung Myung responded with a bright smile.
Han Yi-myung’s eyes, watching from behind, were wet.
‘What a good look.’
A hero who rushed from the far away Jungwon to save the North Sea, and a young Clan Leader who will carry on the will of such a hero and lead the North Sea in the future.
How could this not be a great look?
It was then.
Chung Myung opened his mouth with a big smile.
“Only in words?”
“…Yes?”
Seol So-baek lifted his head slightly and looked at Chung Myung with a face as if he had heard something wrong. But Chung Myung kindly confirmed once again.
“I ask is your thanks only words, only in words.”
“…….”
Then he reached out and tapped Seol So-baek on the shoulder.
“There is no gratitude in the world, and no grace can be repaid with words. Grace and gratitude are supposed to be rewarded with material things. You know what I mean?”
“…….”
“What? Would you wipe your mouth clean with a few words of thanks? You’re not,
are you?”
“N- No, this…….”
“If you don’t know grace, then you’re a beast, right?”
“……Yes.”
“A beats hands over its skin. Instead of being ungrateful, they return the favor with that leather. But don’t tell me you’re going to let us go which indicates an act that is lower than a beast, Right? Nah. You have the honor of the North Sea Ice Clan on your back, don’t tell me.”
Sweat began to pour on the round Seol So-baek’s forehead.
Now that the word “The Ice Clan’s dace” has been mentioned, this has become something that cannot be withdrawn.
“No, of course, Dojang. The North Sea Ice Clan will surely reward you.”
“…Really?”
Chung Myung smiled with a face as if he had everything in the world.
“Hahahahaha! That’s right. I didn’t think the Ice Clan was such a shameless place!”
“O- Of course. Of course.”
“Right, Right. Then…….”
Chung Myung’s hand grabbed Seol So-baek’s shoulder. Light was shining from his eyes looking at the bewildered Seol So-baek.
“Just bring it now.”
“Wha- What?”
“What do you mean ‘What’?”
Chung Myung’s smile was truly ridiculously bright.
“List of North Sea Ice Clan properties.”
“…….”
“Hurry.”
“…….”
Mount Hua’s disciples turned their heads slightly as they watched Seol So-baek, who a wolf caught.
‘He got caught.’
‘Poor thing.’
‘I’m sorry, Clan Leader-nim.’
There are people in the world with whom you shouldn’t be indebted.
It was the misfortune of Seol So-baek and the Ice Clan that they didn’t know such a fact.
