Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 563

’Life is…’

‘What is life…….’

Lying on the bed, Im Sobyong stared blankly at the ceiling.

Sometimes when he lay like this and looked at the ceiling, he felt unbearable pain in the cloudy consciousness, blurred vision, and the coming cold.

But now…

‘It’s warm.’

His body is warm. Just not having to shiver in the cold seemed like a new life.

Each pattern on the ceiling was so vivid, as if it would jump out at any moment. His body was always full of energy, so he even thought he could win, even if he wrestled with a bear.

It was a change that he had never dreamed of. Literally, it was the realization of what he desperately wished for.

But…….

‘Why do I keep crying?’

Transparent water trickled down his eyes as he looked up at the ceiling.

‘How can a man’s fate be so unlucky?”

As a human being, there is no regret about something that isn’t there in the first place. Only when what they have disappears do they realize it is regrettable.

Then how great will the sense of emptiness and despondency he will gain as soon as this feeling disappears?

‘It’s a drug.’

The more he thought about it, the worse the situation it seems.

How can he get out of Chung Myung’s grasp now that he knows this taste?

Im Sobyong was a very self-objective person. He knew better than anyone what he would do if he ran out of medicine and returned to his old body.

“Keueung!”

‘Of all things…’

‘Why did I let that demon catch me…….’

Of course, iIm Sobyong wishedto build a relationship with Chung Myung.

However, it actually meant that he wanted to ally the premise of friendship, not a relationship in which one side unilaterally gave up the initiative.

Even more so if the person giving the initiative was Im Sobyong.

‘If I knew this would happen, I would have done a bluff at the last minute.’

Im Sobyong sighed as he looked at the ceiling with half-open eyes.

Amidst all that, why is his body so full of energy…….

“Ughh. I really met the devil.”

Had he known this, he would have listened to his subordinates telling him not to go to Mount Hua. He never thought he’d be humiliated like this.

“I’d rather die than suffer… Huh?”

Then he frowned at the sudden noise outside.

“Why is it so loud?”

A sick person is here…… No, some people were sick here, but these people are so tactless.

He pulled back the blanket with a slightly displeased gesture.

“Oh my god!”

However, the blanket he had removed suddenly landed on the wall. His body, which had always lacked energy, suddenly became energized like a waterfall, making it difficult to control his strength.

Reflexively looking around, he put the blanket back in place and trudged out.

And.

“Keeeeeeek!”

Kuung! “…….”

As soon as he opened the door, someone flew in like a cannon shell and lodged itself in the wall of the hall. Im Sobyong blinked his eyes.

Sereuruk.

Soon, something that was pinned to the wall slowly slid down and collapsed. Judging from the fact that he wore Mount Hua’s uniform, he seemed to be one of the disciples.

‘What?!’

‘Attack? Who the hell attacked Mount Hua…….’

Im Sobyong, who flinched and confirmed that he had fallen to the ground, looked forward in a hurry.

All of Mount Hua’s disciples were swinging their swords madly with bloodshot eyes.

“Euaaa! Die! Dieeeee!”

“That’s not gonna kill me!”

The person who was rushing at a scary pace was hit by the back by a wooden sword and bounced off as quickly as a kicked ball.

‘Is he dead?’

Wouldn’t he die if it’s that much? Even though it’s a wooden sword, ifwouldn’t it breakhe bones and burst the flesh?
if it hit properly
Even if it wasn’t a real sword, it was safe to say that he die if he was hit that hard.

There wasn’t even one place where the fight broke out.

As he approached, the same thing was happening throughout the Training Field.

“Euuuaaaa! Go to hell! Sasuuuuk!”

“This bastard?”

Im Sobyong stood there, staring blankly at the scene before him.

‘The man must be Baek Cheon, the Righteous Sword…..’

Among those called Mount Hua Five Swords, Baek Cheon is the one who is in charge of the group. He also performed well in the last Murim Competition.

He was also certain that one day Baek Cheon would become the Sect Leader of Mount Hua. But.

“Get out of here!”

“Kuaahh!”

The one who was fiercely hit by Baek Cheon’s wooden sword rolled to the ground, spraying blood. Im Sobyong’s body trembled at the heavy-hitting sound.

But those who rushed to Baek Cheon were not discouraged at all by the sight.

“Stab him!”

“Sahyung or whatnot! We just need to get one hit anyway!”

“From behind, from behind!”

Those wearing the same uniforms rushed at Baek Cheon with killing intent. As if they were facing a life-and-death adversary.

And the opponent, Baek Cheon, kicked and beat those who rushed at him mercilessly as if it were natural.

“You’re going to knock me down with just this much? Ten years early!”

“You’re so annoying!”

“Who is that bastard? Come out!”

Watching Mount Hua’s disciples attack each other with a vengeance, Im Sobyong stuck out his tongue in exasperation.

‘Is this training?’

They are out of their mind.

Noklim is also famous for its extreme training. This is because there is a lack of belonging to the sect, and due to the nature of Nokrim, where it is difficult to control the members, it is necessary to maintain discipline even in basic training.

However, even the harsh training of Nokrim was not like this either. This is… Isn’t this a way to beat people openly?

“This, this …….”

At that time, the man beaten by Jo-Gol’s sword collapsed and spouted out blood.

“He- He’s really injured……!”

But even before Im Sobyong’s word was finished.

Bolttok!

The man who had been stuck on the ground and spraying blood jumped up as if he had never fallen.

“Whoa…….”

“This punk?”

Then, holding the wooden sword again, hurled a curse and stormed at Jo-Gol again.

“I will kill you even if I die! Euaaaa!”

“…….”

Im Sobyong’s mouth slowly opened.

‘What the hell is going on here?’

He couldn’t understand this with his common sense. This violent training doesn’t put care on the body, and the disciples of Mount Hua who rise again while practising that training.

“You’re here?”

“Yes?”

Im Sobyong hurriedly looked up at the sudden voice.

Chung Myung, sitting on the eaves, was looking at him nonchalantly. In one hand, he held a bottle of alcohol as if it was natural.

‘I didn’t feel the presence at all….’

Although the surroundings were said to be chaotic and confusing, he couldn’t have missed the presence of anyone.

‘Has he gotten stronger?’

In months they haven’t met…….

‘Even Heaven is indifferent.’

If an unmanageable devil keeps getting stronger with the momentum to pierce through the ceiling, who will handle them?

But that’s it, and now it’s time to ask something else.

“Is it okay to train like that?”

“Did I let them do something that’s not okay?”

“Yes. Dojang is enough already.”

“…….”

Chung Myung looked at Im Sobyong with dismayed eyes.

Im Sobyong also looked at Chung Myung with dismayed eyes.

‘This bastard?’

‘Huh? What? Did I say something wrong?’

The two, who exchanged opinions with each other with gazes, put on a bright business smile again. t was a spectacle that even an experienced merchant who had been rolling in world of merchants for decades would admire and applaud.

“Well…… that’s true, but they’re fine now. There is no problem with that.”.”

“Human body is not as strong as you think, Dojang.”

“It’s fine. My kids are strong. Ahem!”

Chung Myung stretched out his belly with a genuinely proud expression. Im Sobyong shook his head as if he had no answer.

“I’d rather Dojang be a bandit…..”

“What?”

“No……. Nothing.”

Chung Myung gulped down his alcohol, wiped his mouth, and smiled.

“No, how can you not see it with your own eyes?”

“Yes?”

“Look, no one’s hurt, why are you so worried? That’s unlikely of you, Nokrim King.”

Im Sobyong turned back to the disciples in training at the cool voice.

‘Come to think of it…….’

Some attacks would have fallen others more than a hundred times, but none of Mount Hua’s disciples had fallen. Even if they collapsed for a moment, they returned to their senses and ran like a tenacious dogs.

“I’m telling you that I didn’t give them the pills for no reason.”

“No, then…… Did they take the pills I took?”

“Yes. Much better……. No, uh…….Yes, they did.”

“…….”

Im Sobyong’s resentful eyes flashed at Chung Myung, but Chung Myung tried to ignore it and look away.

“… This isn’t the first time.”

“Yes, this is the second.”

“Hmm.”

Im Sobyong’s head began to spin fast.

The best effect of an elixir is improving one’s internal strength no matter what anyone says. And the second best effect is to correct the body’s balance and strengthen the body.

In fact, when he looked at the training scene, he could see it.

‘The strength and resilience have already exceeded the level of an ordinary master.’

They may still be lacking in terms of swordsmanship and state. But at least in terms of physical perfection, Mount Hua’s disciples have easily surpassed the level of the Ten Great Sect.

‘Well, if you think about it, it’s obvious.’

Which sect gives their disciples two Elixir? If a sect had done that, it would have already conquered the world.

Even Shaolin, who is said to be rotten due to overflowing money, and the Sichuan Tang Family, who rule their world with their small number of direct descendants, can’t even think of this.

Im Sobyong’s face becomes slightly serious.

Mount Hua is already making progress that other sects can’t even dare with the existence of Chung Myung. Isn’t it a fact that the name “Mount Hua Sect,” which had not even been talked about until just a few years ago, is now resonating all over the world?

And the core of that upward trend were those second and third-class disciples.

Those who didn’t even have a name made their reputation in the Murim Championship and blocked the attack of Myriad Man House. Even if someone looked through the history of Kangho, it would be difficult to find a case where young disciples of a sect made such a steep development as a group.

‘But he’s saying they’re going stronger here?’

In the end, the method of training is determined by how long a person can endure. No matter how great a training method you think of, it doesn’t mean anything if the recipient cannot endure it.

But now, Mount Hua’s disciples were overcoming the training that even Im Sobyong couldn’t dare.

Both the body and mental strength to withstand it far surpassed common sense. How can they not be strong?

‘I’ll have to recalculate.’

Mount Hua that have been identified by gathering information from outside, and Mount Hua which he watched with his own eyes are a completely different place.

Im Sobyong thought.

Maybe Mount Hua Sect is much greater sect than he thought.

“So.”

At that time, Chung Myung asked him in a nonchalant way.

“Have you got everything figured out?”

“…What do you mean?”

“Ei.”

When Im Sobyong asked back, Chung Myung laughed as if telling him not to joke.

“I don’t think you’ve ever seen Nokrim King break into Mount Hua and endure humiliation to get an Elixir. Didn’t you want to see Mount Hua in person with that excuse?”

“…….”

“I think you’ve figured it out now. What do you think?”

A bitter smile crossed Im Sobyong’s lips.

‘Anyway, he’s really a demon.’

When they saw his eccentric behavior, many people thought Chung Myung was thoughtless and impulsive. But at least Im Sobyong didn’t miss it. The fact that Chung Myung has deep calculations that ordinary people can’t even guess.

So it was more difficult and uncomfortable to deal with.

But.

‘That’s what people rose on top usually do.’

Shrugged Im Sobyong looked at Chung Myung with slightly sharp eyes.

“How’s Dojang thought?”

“What?”

“What kind of place is Nokrim for you? Is it a place to use as an arrow head and thrown away immediately?”

“It looks like you’re mistaken….”

“Huh?”

“I don’t use anyone as an arrowhead. Because you don’t know how dirty that is.”

An eerie energy flowed out of the soft mutter from Chung Myung. Im Sobyong shuddered.

Chung Myung calmed down as if he had never done so, and looked into the distance for a moment before continuing.

“There are two types of allies. Friends and pretending to be friends.”

“…….”

“Which way is Nokrim?”

Im Sobyong looked at him like that and said, “The world is not a place where the intention alone takes part. Just as Mount Hua is uncomfortable holding hands with Nokrim, it’s also a big burden for Nokrim to hold hands with Mount Hua.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“But.”

Im Sobyong grinned.

“Being close friends is not subject to circumstances.”

And he proudly stretched out his hand upwards and held it out.

“Why don’t we start there for now?”

Chung Myung glanced at his hand and grinned.

“No, I didn’t say we would be friends yet.”

“…….”

“It’s a bit awkward to befriend a bandit, and I still have my reputation as a Taoist.”

“…….”

“That’s enough for now.”

“It doesn’t matter if you can or can’t…”

“Let’s talk about work.”

“Hm?”

Chung Myung’s eyes sparkled.

“It wouldn’t have been empty words that there was Stronghold to be disposed of, and that wouldn’t be a big deal either. Although if you are the son of Nokrim King of the previous generation, Nokrim is a place where the law of the jungle works. So there are people who are protesting, right?”

Im Sobyong’s face has turned sour.

‘…… There’s a real ghost.’

But Chung Myung still smiled lightly as if he were saying something insignificant.

“Let’s talk about it. It won’t be a bad story for each other.”

Eventually, Im Sobyong sighed deeply and nodded.
