Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 573
”Everyone, stoooop!”
“Kuaahh.”
“Oh, damn it!”
As soon as Chung Myung’s voice burst out, Mount Hua’s disciples slumped to the spot.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
Chung Myung jumped off the cart and looked around with his tongue clicked.
“How long have you been running and panting like a dog in the heat?”
At the end of the remark, flames rose in the eyes of Mount Hua’s disciples.
“Hey, you damn bastard! Why would a man who sat on the cart say such a thing?”
“I’ll hang you on the wheel!”
“What color is the blood flowing through your body!”
The atmosphere rose as if a riot would break out at any moment. And of course, Chung Myung didn’t care even a little bit. “If you’d run faster, you’d have already arrived and rested! Anyway, I’m being like this because it’s slow!”
“…….”
Everyone opened their mouths in astonishment but did not refute it any more. Now they have nothing to say and they don’t want to talk more.
And what made them even more absurd was the reaction of Baek Cheon and the group, who dragged the cart instead of horses.
“Hng, that’s it for today.”
“Still, isn’t it much better than when we went to the North Sea? The cart is also light.”
“That’s true. I wouldn’t have suffered that much if it was this much back then.”
Tears welled up in the eyes of Mount Hua’s disciples when they saw them getting out of the cart while chatting relatively relaxedly.
‘Sasuk, what hell have you been through?’
‘Why do you look like nothing is wrong? Why!’
‘Isn’t the training going too far?’
Chung Myung frowned more at the still-panting disciples.
“You should be ashamed of yourself! If you have eyes, look behind you! Even a sick person runs like that without any problem. But what’s so much trouble with all these healthy yangban that make such a fuss?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Im Sobyong in the back.
Im Sobyong smiled under the attention of Mount Hua’s disciples.
And soon.
Thud.
“Huuk! Nokrim King!”
“Wake up!”
He collapsed on the spot.
Bonchung and Dark Night were frightened and rushed at the fallen Im Sobyong.
“A- Anyway, you guys are half the same! Ugh!”
Chung Myung shook his head, beating his chest like his stomach bursting.
“Keueuh.”
Im Sobyong, who managed to raise his upper body halfway with the help, muttered blankly with a face as if he had lost his soul.
“……It’s all crazy.”
“…….”
They didn’t say it, but Rebellion Bonchung and Dark Night felt the same way.
‘Did the ghost who couldn’t ascend get stuck?’
‘How can they start running as soon as they wake up and keep running until the sun goes down? If a horse runs like this, it will foam out of his mouth and collapse.’ Let’s just say they run like this, But what the hell is this ridiculous speed?
More importantly, even they, called Masters of Nokrim, made a breathtaking march, but none of them fell behind.
‘Mount Hua is a very unusual place.’
Of course, the criterion for dividing Masters and ordinary martial artists is not only physical strength, but at least in terms of it, it was clear that they had reached a level that no sect in Jungwon could follow.
Bonchung and Dark Night realized why Im Sobyong had to put aside other places and ask for help from Mount Hua.
“Really, kids these days don’t have guts, guts!”
“Hmm.”
“Keuhuhum.”
The old ones (?) who came comfortably in the cart got out of the cart, coughing awkwardly.
The disciples ran hard, but it was embarrassing to come in a cart. But not everyone was embarrassed.
“Keueuh, I’ve been riding in a shaky cart all day, and my back aches.”
Hyun Young grumbled with a frown.
“Are we far from the destination?”
“We’re almost there.”
“Hngg, I’ve lived my whole life without leaving Mount Hua, and I didn’t even know Jungwon was this big. There’s no end to everything.”
Unam laughed bitterly at Hyun Young’s words.
Of course, it was a trivial remark, but it contained how Mount Hua had been through the years.
“Sleep? We’re not sleeping on the ground again today, are we?”
“No, it’s not.”
Unam shook his head.
“If we cross that hill, it’s Changsa.”
“Huh? That much already?”
“Yes. Today, I plan to rest at the inn of Changsa. We have camped for several days already, so we should warm up before going to the mountain.”
At those words, the disciples of Mount Hua who were spread out widened their eyes.
‘Bed!’
‘Warm water!’
‘Warm food!’
But Chung Myung opened his eyes disapprovingly as if he did not like it at all.
“We can just lay bed and sleep anywhere, what kind of inn we’re going to waste money for.”
“That’s enough.”
Hyun Young waved his hand at the word.
“Let alone the children, I can’t stand it because my back hurts. Let’s sleep in a comfortable place.”
“Hehe. If Elder says so, we’ll find a good inn.”
The change of attitude was so quick that all the other disciples were astonished and changed gritted their teeth.
‘Bastard who Heaven’ll punish.”
“But…….”
In the meantime, Un Gum, who was the only one who maintained his composure the whole time, raised a question that they should have.
“Then we can go straight into the city, why did we set up here, Sahyung?”
Then Unam smiled bitterly and secretly looked at Chung Myung. He said.
“I was just about to talk about it.”
He took a step forward and looked around everyone.
“Listen, everyone.”
“Yes!”
“Changsa is a big city. If we get in there immediately, it’ll catch the public’s attention.”
Everyone nodded convincingly.
“Now, it won’t be a problem when we just sit on the ground and play jokes among ourselves.
However, that should not be the case within Changsa. Don’t forget Sect Leader’s words that all your actions let the viewer know what kind of place Mount Hua is.”
At that, everyone looked to one side instead of answering.
“…… Why?”
Chung Myung. who received everyone’s attention at once, tilted his head. He looked so innocent as if he know nothing.
Dark clouds gathered again over the faces of disciples, who had brightened at the thought of resting in the inn.
‘Will it be okay?’
‘Wouldn’t it be better to just sleep here?’
Baek Cheon seemed to have the same idea. He spoke in a low voice.
“That… Sasuk. Why don’t we just camp around…….”
Unam sighed quietly.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but I have something to do. First of all, we have to stop by the Beggar Union branch in Changsa and check if there have been any problems.”
“Um, I see.”
Baek Cheon glanced at the ever-changing Chung Myung. Not only he, but everyone who pulled the cart together saw Chung Myung with a face full of anxiety.
‘I’m nervous.’
‘My stomach hurts.’
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m good at it.’
Isn’t it Chung Myung who always looks for something like a ghost?
Hyun Sang, who was standing silently, opened his mouth.
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Yes?”
A smile hung around his mouth, which had always been stubborn.
“Chung Myung, don’t be separated from me when we enter Changsa.”
“What? No, why am I the only one….”
“Haha. Let’s just do that.”
Mount Hua’s disciples cheered inwardly at Hyun Sang’s wise decision. Dark clouds have been lifted from their dark face again.
‘We survived! As expected of Elder!”‘
‘This is years of experience, you punk!’
Once the biggest problem was resolved, the work proceeded swiftly.
“Baek Cheon, go ahead and arrange the right inn. Since there are many children, it is okay to divide them into a couple of places.”
“Yes, Sasuk!”
“Come on, let’s get back to work!”
Mount Hua’s disciples proudly moved on to Changsa.
* * * A huge chair gloriously decorated with large animal skins, was placed on a platform. The man sitting there crossed his legs and patted his armrest lightly.
“It’s been a long time.”
It took him decades to sit in this insignificant chair.
From under the chair to this place, it took decades of a long time to narrow the distance, which is only a few steps.
However, this position has not yet been entirely his.
‘Anyway, it’ll be mine soon.’
The man was Go Hong, Chaeju, and Mad Ox Sword of Daebyolchae, one of the Ten Nokrim.
It was the very moment when he grinned and tried to tilt his head back.
Bolkok.
The door swung open and three men in beast leathers entered.
“Chaeju!”
“What’s going on!”
“These guys don’t listen to me at all.”
“Tsk.”
Go Hong glared at the leading man, and briefly clicked his tongue with a disapproving face.
“It seems that the period you lived comfortably in the wild was too long. I can’t believe you can’t bring one of those guys to their knees.”
“Hng. No, it’s not that. These guys aren’t usually poisonous. Even if I pluck all their fingernails and put a needle into all ten fingers, they don’t blink an eye.”
“…That’s awful.”
“I need to cut off at least one limb to do more here, can I do that?”
Then Go Hong’s eyes were burning with killing intent.
“You idiot!”
The bandits, who came inside at a thunderous roar, all cringed their necks.
“If you ruin them, you want me to run Nokrim with you who don’t even know letters? Huh?
I’d rather die!”
“B- But they couldn’t be persuaded at all….”
“Damn it.”
Go Hong’s face is distorted.
“This is why we shouldn’t have let that rat get away.”
If Im Sobyong had died, it wouldn’t have been so hard to appease the rest of the people in Nokchae. No matter how great their loyalty is, loyalty works only when there is someone to serve.
If he treats them appropriately and tries to calm them down, they will eventually pretend they can’t win and follow him.
But he failed to catch Im Sobyong. The man who quickly grasped the situation disappeared before he could even move.
“Nokrim King…. No, have you still not found the traces of that little rat?”
“……Yes.”
“You useless bastards!”
As he stood up and looked around, Go Hong pulled out the spear behind the chair and threw it away.
“Hiik!”
The bandits quickly crouched down. Full of energy, the spear spun tightly and passed dangerously over their heads. They were so nervous that they felt numb all over.
“Find him! Find him at all costs!”
“Yes!”
The distorted Go Hong’s face was horrendous.
‘If we drag on like this, we’ll give others a chance.’
If other Chaeju found Im Sobyong first, he will be like a dog chasing a chicken running in the roof. They can attack him with a card called Im Sobyong, or they can kill him with their own hands and insist on the rightful succession of the legitimate Nokrim King.
Either way, it wasn’t a pleasant thing for him.
“Before the other Stronghold…….”
“Chaeju!”
At that moment, someone else shouted and stormed inside. Go Hong frowned.
“What’s going on?”
“They’re here!”
“Hm?”
The person who came inside breathed heavily and quickly poured out words as if he were vomiting.
“Cha, Changsa! Nokrim King in Changsa…. No, Im Sobyong has made an appearance!”
“… What?”
Go Hong’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
“Where?”
“Cha- Changsa.”
“…Isn’t Changsa right next door?”
“Yes!”
“He showed up right under my nose?”
“Yes!”
“Ha… hahaha.”
For a moment, Go Hong, who was speechless, laughed for a long time before jumping to his feet.
Kwaaang!
His feet crushed the floor like tofu.
“Looks like this guy is freaking out because he wants to die! Seeing he looking down on me and hanging around right under my nose.”
“Cha- Chaeju, calm down!”
“Calm down?”
“It’s Changsa, it’s a city. If we go there ourselves, the problem gets bigger.”
“Damn the problem! That bastard just appeared in front of me, are you saying I should open my eyes but just take a look?”
“He’s not alone, he has been dragging a group of people from an unknown Righteous Faction.”
“Righteous Faction?”
“Yes, I’m checking their identity for now…….”
“He’s completely insane! Now he’s trying to get the Righteous Factions involved?”
Screaming Go Hong gritted his teeth.
“What’s the number?”
“It doesn’t appear to exceed two hundred.”
“…What did you say?”
“It’s not more than two hundred….”
“Huh?” Go Hong lets out a laugh.
“He brought only two hundred? Right in front of me?”
“I- It looks like it is. When we look at the face, they look young, but for now, it doesn’t look that great…….”
“Dong Wong(동웅(董雄))!”
“Yes, Chaeju!”
“Take the man and get him right now!”
“B- But the government…..”
“I don’t care about government. If I become the Nokrim King, they won’t dare touch me anyway!”
“Yes!”
“There’s no guarantee of a second chance like this, so act now! Right now!”
“Yes, Chaeju!”
The three people who came in first rushed out.
Go Hong slumped back into the chair. Then he swept the armrest of the chair with his fingertips.
“That stupid bastard, it seems his mind has become impatient now.”
It is obvious that it is a method that can be used by a man who has lost Nokchae.
Thinking that this position would soon be his, Go Hong’s lips rose silently.
