Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 567
When Hyun Jong had a conversation with Unam.
After the morning training, they gathered before the food prepared outside the Dining Hall and stared blankly at the distant eaves.
The two white and black people jumped over the eaves of the building and shouted.
“Please stand there!”
“I don’t want to.”
“No, shouldn’t we have a discussion! You decided to do it!”
“But I did.”
Chung Myung jumped over the eaves and answered earnestly.
“But why are we discussing it when your conditions will be better if we just drag on!”
“Aaaargh! You evil spirit!”
Im Sobyong furiously pursued Chung Myung who quickly ran away.
Mount Hua’s disciples stared blankly at the chase that took place out of nowhere.
“…Gosh.”
“Didn’t he say he is Nokrim King?”
“He did say.”
“Isn’t Nokrim King a very high position?”
“I think so.”
“…I see.”
“Well, it’s Chung Myung.”
“Yeah, well, it’s Chung Myung.”
It’s a ridiculous sight, but none of the spectators considered it bizarre. It’s just that they’re distracted for a moment and then they just let it pass by.
“Never mind, just eat.”
“……Yes.”
“If you don’t see it, then it’s nothing.”
“…Sahyung. I think you’ve learned the ropes these days.”
“If you don’t get it already, you’ll die frustrated.”
But their problem wasn’t just Chung Myung.
“No, but this bastard!”
Jo-Gol, who couldn’t bear it anymore, leaped out of his seat with anger. Yoon Jong gave a glance and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ah! Look at what he is doing!”
Yoon Jong glanced at where he pointed. Baek-ah, who sat proudly at the table, was tearing up the chicken legs that were served for Jo-gol with his two front paws.
“Hey! That’s mine….!”
When Jo-Gol reached out to retrieve the stolen food, Baek-ah quickly scratched his hand and inflated and stood as much hair as he had.
“Ouch!”
The frightening momentum frightened Jo-Gol.
‘Kiiiik!’
Jo-Gol looked at Baek-ah, who even hissed as if threatening, with an expression of frustration. Yoon Jong shook his head.
“… How can he do the same thing as his master….?”
“I know…….”
Jo-Gol squeezed out tears.
“I’m already covered in dirt because of the training, and can’t even go inside the Dining Hall and must eat outside…… but now I’m got stolen on top of it.”
Sad.
Isn’t Baek-ah too similar to someone’s personality? That they leave one’s own food and steal someone else’s food first?
But Baek Cheon, who watched the scene, quietly smiled.
“Leave him alone. He won’t be in a good mood right now.”
“What? Is there anything that can make the beast feel uncomfortable? Did something happen?”
“He was trying to steal what was left of the Jasodan and got caught by Chung Myung.”
“…….”
The beast stole Elixir?
‘I don’t think we can call him a beast now.’
“Then, what happens next?”
“What are you asking again? It must have been a bit of a struggle to climb up off the cliff.
Marten is quick, but Mount Hua’s cliff must be very high.”
“…….”
‘He threw it.’
‘Right, eventually he threw him.’
Jo-Gol laughed unconsciously.
‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a person or an animal.’
‘How can he be so fair? Our Sajil.’
“A beast that steals and eats Elixir, and the human who throws the beast down the cliff….”
“The owner and the beast.”
Finally, Jo-Gol swallowed tears as he looked at his half-empty table.
‘I’m going to die of hardship, but now I’m losing even my food.’
It has already been three days since the training with Sahyung began. On the first day, he managed to endure it, but now he was getting beaten up little by little.
Since Jo-Gol is second to none in physical strength, he couldn’t be hurt by being hit with a few wooden swords, but the problem was that he was being pushed back more and more.
‘They’re getting stronger faster than I thought.’
As each day passes, the effect of absorbing Jasodan is coming out. In addition, considering the effectiveness of Gongchong, it was clear that the disciples would be stronger than it is now in no time.
‘At that point, they won’t be lacking much compared to the North Sea Ice Clan warriors.’
No. On the contrary, they will grow even better.
If that’s the case, Mount Hua will be the first to make a name for itself in the world since the last war against the Magyo.
“Argh! This marten has my drumstick!”
“I- If you touch that, I’ll kill you! I’m really going to kill you! Hey! You punk!”
“Someone please just turn him into a scarf!”
“…….”
Of course, it was a problem that a single marten was fooling the disciples of that wonderful Mount Hua.
And the marten owner…….
“Oh, come on!”
Chung Myung, who ran to the place where the table lined up, kicked Im Sobyong, who was following him.
“Let’s eat!” Give me some food!”
But he quickly clung to Chung Myung again, as if Im Sobyong had never been kicked and flew away.
“Rice is something you can eat anytime!”
“Damn it, why did I give you the pills! You are needlessly healthy.”
“Cough! The chill still hasn’t gone away… Cough!”
“Here we go again. Again.”
Eventually, Baek Cheon sighed as he couldn’t stand it anymore and stopped him.
“Chung Myung-ah. Still, that person’s illness isn’t all over yet, is it? That’s what you said yourself. You said it’s still One Yin Severed Meridian.”
“People feel warm even when they go to the grasslands of Mongolia after being in the North Sea! Three and Half or One, it is strange that this person flies!” “… That is true.”
At the vivid metaphor, Baek Cheon looked at Im Sobyong with suspicious eyes. Chung Myung said to Im Sobyong as if fed up.
“Anyway, I will eat, so please don’t touch me. It is said that one shouldn’t touch an eating dog!”
“Dojang isn’t a dog, though?”
“…….”
“Oh, is that right?”
“This yangban for real?”
“Hngg, then please finish the work quickly. My stomach is not my stomach right now.”
“What kind of bandit is this clingy?”
“We’re a bandit because we’re clingy! If you’ll live a clean life, why climb up the mountain! Hold on to the people who are running away and catch them! Find someone who’s going back and go after them! That’s what bandits do!”
‘Huh?’
‘Now that I hear this?’
As Chung Myung stared blankly at him, Im Sobyong hit his chest and said.
“Even while doing this, you never know what will happen to Nokrim!”
“If it were going to happen, it would have happened already. And if something happens to a bandit, isn’t that good for the world?”
“U…… Ugh.”
Im Sobyong grabbed his chest and groaned, and Baek Cheon held him by the shoulders.
“Stay calm. If you treat him with common sense, you’ll just live short.”
“B- But I’m already short-lived.”
“You have to see to know.”
Chung Myung chimed in again and intervened. Baek Cheon laughed without realizing it. Looking at it, these two got along really well.
Especially in that they don’t raise themselves accordingly.
‘Nokrim King refers to the head of Nokrim, who occupies one of the Five Conquerors of the World (천하오패(天下五覇)). No matter how low it is, it will not fall far as a sect as compared to the Ten Great Sect.’
Isn’t it amazing that such a person can be so free-spirited?
“Ah! Let’s have a proper meal and talk!”
“Why is this yangbwan chand jast saddap!”
“…….”
It was a problem because he was too free-spirited.
As he sighed and tried to turn his eyes away again, Baek Cheon suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“Hm?”
As he turned around, he saw someone rushing from the gate.
‘What is it?’
“Sasuuuuk!”
The man who was running fiercely saw him and shouted. Back Cheon, who sensed something had happened, asked straightforwardly and quickly.
“What’s going on?”
“S- Someone came and knocked at the gate.”
“At the gate?”
Baek Cheon frowned.
Of course, Mount Hua was so rough that guests did not usually come and go. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t many guests, so it wasn’t much of a fuss when someone came to the gate.
“And?”
“The, The people who came to visit are so strange. I think Sasuk should come and see.”
“Huh?”
“That…… No matter how much I ask them, they said they came for a bandit…”
‘Bandit?’
All eyes turned to one place at a time.
Im Sobyong, who was caught in the eye, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. How can a bandit ever live in Mount Hua?”
“… Is this guy really crazy? They came to see you!”
“Huh?”
Surprised for a moment, he turned toward the gate.
“Ah, right!”
“…I can’t tell if he’s smart or stupid.”
“Chu- Chung Myung, he’s still the Nokrim King, can you speak carefully…….”
“He has to be like one to be treated like Nokrim King!”
Baek Cheon couldn’t bear to refute this remark.
To be honest, he agrees.
“At any rate, let’s go!”
Im Sobyong and Mount Hua’s disciples ran quickly toward the gate.
Those who saw the view beyond the wide open gate were surprised and opened their eyes wide.
“Bonchung!”
Bonchung, who had faced Chung Myung’s group in the Stronghold the other day, was sitting with a troubled face and breathing heavily. The red-stained clothes and the dried blood scabs on the exposed body looked serious even at a glance.
“Huh? The Dark Night? Gwak Min?”
Yoon Jong, who recognized the man behind Bonchung, shouted.
The Dark Night’s condition was not much better than that of Bonchung.
His pale face was like a corpse, and his shoes were filled with blood, flowing everywhere he walked.
Im Sobyong’s face hardened.
“…… They did it.”
Dark Night nodded with difficulty at the words, and Bonchung lay flat on the spot.
“Please kill me! I couldn’t even keep Nokrim.”
“……who is it?”
“The only thing I could see with my eyes was Mad Ox Sword (광우도(狂牛刀)).”
“… Mad Ox Sword. Great Star Stronghold.”
Surprisingly, Im Sobyong’s face showed no signs of excitement.
“If it were Mad Ox Sword, he wouldn’t have moved alone. He is stupid and cannot move with such a blitz and agility. It should be assumed that at least Stronghold moved together.”
Im Sobyong murmured low and turned his gaze at the Dark Night.
“How’s the situation?”
“Noklim’s brothers don’t know the situation yet. The Nokrim was completely destroyed and the Ten Shadows of Nokrim (녹림십영(綠林十影)) were scattered.”
“I see.”
Im Sobyong looked at Chung Myung with a brief reply.
“Dojang.”
“Hm.”
“Now you have to make a decision.”
Im Sobyong’s expression was quite different from what he had ever shown. The playfulness and unfairness that had always been on his face disappeared as if had been washed up, and only a cold expression as if he had been covered with ice remained.
“If Dojang doesn’t help me, I have to leave.”
“What do you think you’re going to do when you leave?”
“It’s not something I can give up whether I can or not. It’s something I have to do even if I die fighting.”
“Hngg.”
Chung Myung was about to open his mouth to say something.
“What’s the matter?”
“Sect Leader!”
“I greet Sect Leader.”
Those who noticed Hyun Jong walking their way all suddenly clasped their fists and paid their respect.
Hyun Jong, who gently waved and accepted the courtesy, looked at the situation with his eyes.
“It looks like… something has happened.”
“Yes, that’s….”
“So-so”
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
When Tang So-so answered quickly, Hyun Jong said.
“Take the guests to the Medicine Hall. It looks serious at first glance.”
“May I?”
“There is no law to drive out those who have come under the eaves to escape the rain. No matter who the opponent is, should we be so hard-hearted and kick the injured away?
Mount Hua is not such a place.”
“Yes, Sect Leader! I will follow.”
Tang So-so quickly ran out, examined the patients’ condition, and shouted.
“Some people can’t move, so please move them to the Medicine Hall, Sahyung!”
“Got it!”
The third-class disciples rushed in to pick up the wounded.
“Be careful not to hurt them further! If it gets wider, it’s really life-threatening!”
“Got it!”
Bonchung looked at Mount Hua’s disciples grabbed his arms and turned to Im Sobyong.
“T- This….”
“Take care of yourself first.”
“…….”
“That’s enough information. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Bonchung, who was silent for a moment, nodded silently.
“Yes.”
When even Bonchung was moved to the Medicine Hall, the remaining people exchanged glances while facing each other.
“Right.”
Hyun Jong stared at Im Sobyong with deep eyes and then opened his mouth.
“Do Nokrim King mind if I ask about his situation?”
Im Sobyong let out a short sigh.
“I’ve already told this story to someone, but…….”
Seeing Chung Myung for a moment, he soon stared straight at Hyun Jong.
“I don’t think it’s just a matter of persuading one person. I’ll tell you everything, so please help me, Sect Leader.”
“… Let’s go inside for now.”
“Yes.”
Hyun Jong turned around and said to Baek Cheon and the group.
“Follow me, all of you.”
“Yes!”
When Hyun Jong took the lead, Im Sobyong and everyone followed him to his place.
There was a terrible cloud of war in the air.
