Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 579
”Tha- That…….”
Hyun Sang murmured with his eyes wide open.
That bandit named Dong Wong certainly wasn’t far behind the man named Do Kyulso he had faced in the past.
Of course, Do Kyulso would win if the two competed, but it meant that it was never to the point of being cornered one-sidedly.
However, Jo-Gol, not anyone else, won the battle as if he were playing tricks on such a person.
“Oh my gosh….”
Hyun Sang opened his mouth slowly.
Aren’t parents the ones who don’t know their children’s growth the most?
The fact that Jo-Gol has become stronger. There is a difference between knowing it with his head and confirming it with his own eyes.
“… That is….”
Un Gum was also staring blankly at Jo-Gol as if he was shocked.
“Tsk. It is only natural.”
But Hyun Young snorted.
“Just how much did Chung Myung roll the kids? Of course, he should do at least that much.”
“Hey, man. This isn’t a normal thing to do!”
Hyun Sang shouted out loud as if he was frustrated.
Hyun Young was a person who didn’t focus on martial arts, so he didn’t know how enormous this was.
How long has it been since Myriad Man House invaded them? Is it possible for a person to double their martial art prowess in a short period of less than a year? But Hyun Young still listened to him and said.
“Gol- I know Jo-Gol is getting stronger, but don’t just look there. Aren’t the other kids also catching those bastards like rats?”
“Ah…….”
At the word, Hyun Sang looked at the other Mount Hua’s disciples one by one with fresh eyes. It was a new feeling.
‘When did they…….’
Hyun Jong and Chung Myung made the decision.
Of course, Hyun Sang also made the judgment that there would be no big problem in dealing with the Nokrim if it was the power of the current Mount Hua, so he didn’t oppose it….
‘I didn’t know it was this much…’
His body trembled.
What else can he say when the Stronghold of that Daebyeolchae looks like bandits in the middle of a small mountain?
“Mount Hua….”
A groan-like voice leaked out of Hyun Sang’s mouth.
“Mount Hua has become really strong.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Hyun Young bluntly rebuked him, but even his lips were full of smiles.
“By the way, Sahyung.”
“Yes?”
“Hasn’t Jo-Gol become very strong?”
“Yes, yes!”
Hyun Sang uncharacteristically raised his voice like a child.
“You don’t know, but the growth rate of those kids right now is ridiculous. Even if they fully absorb the Elixir they took, they will be stronger than we are now!”
“That’s why.”
“Yes?”
“Who’s stronger, Jo-Gol or Sahyung?”
“…….”
“Why aren’t you answering? Who’s stronger?”
“…….”
Hyun Sang’s eyes were fixed on the children.
“Push them!”
Jo-Gol’s victory over Dong Wong had a decisive impact on the morale of other disciples.
Anyone can see that the leader has fallen, so the disciples of Mount Hua, whose momentum has reached the end of the sky, increased a hundred times more.
On the other hand, the morale of the bandits whose leader was broken fell without knowing the end and quickly began to be overwhelmed by the swords of Mount Hua’s disciples.
Baek Cheon’s voice rang out loud.
“Do not forget Mount Hua’s teachings at any time and under any circumstances! They who cannot keep their head cool are not at their best!”
“Yes!”
In the midst of the chaotic battle, a loud answer came back.
Baek Cheon nodded slowly as he looked at the situation with narrowed eyes.
‘There won’t be a problem.’
He would join the battle whenever things got a little tough, but fortunately, Mount Hua’s disciples were fighting well. In this situation, participating would rather limit their experience.
“……I didn’t do anything today, Sasuk?”
“Me, too.”
Yoon Jong and Yoo Iseol voiced complaints, but Baek Cheon smiled quietly and accepted their complaints.
“Isn’t this just the beginning?”
“It is.”
At that time, Jo-Gol was seen coming to their side. His shoulders almost rose above his head.
Triumpthanly. Majestically.
No, it was not enough to express it even if all those words were used. Jo-Gol, who approached them, raised his chin and said.
“Huhut. Did everyone have a good look? That I beat that big one neatly?”
The three’s eyes dimmed at the same time.
“Jo-Gol.”
“Yes?”
“I’m so proud to see your personality inflate day by day.”
“Haha! What kind of compliment is that….”
“It’s a curse, punk.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon sighed and shook his head.
He couldn’t figure out why everyone was getting worse day by day.
‘Well, it’s something to be proud of.’
Normally, he would have nagged a little, but he didn’t kill Jo-Gol’s spirit because he had done something to be proud of.
In the meantime, there have been many times when Jo-Gol has dealt with strong people. But every time, Yoon Jong was next to him fighting together. Otherwise, everyone runs together.
In the end, this was the first time he alone beat a strong man who was recognized by the public.
Baek Cheon, who knows how much it means to a martial artist, didn’t want to drop Jo-Gol’s shoulder.
Of course, it was only Baek Cheon’s thought.
“Did you put strength in your neck?”
“…….”
The guy sipping alcohol behind their backs seemed to have a different thought.
“Why are you sticking out your stomach after using a sword like that? I’m going to cut you!”
“…….”
Jo-Gol, who had been smug all along, couldn’t answer and shrank.
“I think I did pretty well.”
“Does well?”
Then he turned away from Chung Myung’s glaring eyes.
“Does well? Good? That is?”
“Chung Myung-ah.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m sorry for now.”
“Tsk.”
Chung Myung clicked his tongue.
“I shouldn’t talk.”
Overpowered Jo-Gol’s rebellion, Chung Myung turned his head and looked at the other disciples.
“Hm. Un Gum Great Sasuk suffered a lot while we were in the North Sea.”
It is a sword that emphasizes the basics beyond Chung Myung. Perhaps that’s why everyone seemed to be undisturbed while maintaining that high momentum.
‘Great.’
Chung Myung nodded as if he liked it.
There may be a long way to go, but at least they got here faster than he thought. This was enough for now.
Kwadeuk!
“Aaaagh!”
The resisting bandit screamed and collapsed.
The bandits did not dare to attack any longer and quietly retreated back. More than half of them have already collapsed. And Dong Wong, who led them, had long passed out.
Where would the will to fight more come from in this situation?
Baek Cheon raised his voice.
“Drop your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed.”
Then the bandits looked back at Baek Cheon with suspicious eyes. Baek Cheon shouted once again.
“I’m Baek Cheon of the Great Mount Hua Sect. Mount Hua doesn’t tell lies!”
Jo-Gol whispered in Yoon Jong’s ear in a voice so low that no one else could hear.
“Isn’t that a lie, too?”
“So be it. We lie a little about this, but we can’t say we’re lying now, can we?”
“Quiet.”
“Yes.”
When Yoo Iseol stared dagger, Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong were startled and shut their mouths.
And.
Clink, clank.
At last, the bandits’ dao fell to the ground one by one.
Then the remaining bandits knelt in unison.
“Arrest those who surrendered and rescue those who fell!”
“Yes!”
An answer that was loud enough to ring the city.
The citizens of Changsa who were watching the scene were all tongue-tied.
“Oh my gosh….”
“No one’s hurt!”
Even when raiding ordinary Stronghold, injuries are inevitable. The wild bandits who lived eating rice using their swords were often burdensome opponents.
However, while Mount Hua Sect dealt with the bandits from Daebyeolchae, none of them even suffered proper injuries. Light blood stains were everywhere, but that kind of wound was negligible to a martial artist.
“Mount Hua Sect is so strong!”
“I didn’t expect them to be this much…….”
Both those who knew and didn’t know about Kangho’s situation looked at Mount Hua’s disciples, unable to hide their admiration.
The gaze was filled with strange expectations.
Then Chung Myung poked Baek Cheon in the back.
“Sasuk.”
“……Huh?”
“What are you doing?”
“…….”
Baek Cheon looked back at Chung Myung with a complicated face. But it would have been better not to look back. Because Chung Myung was smiling with a wicked face.
“You have to do what you have to d.”
“…Do I have to?”
“Are you kidding me? When the table is all set, you should eat!”
“…….”
‘I know. Of course, I know.’
But Baek Cheon’s complaint was why he had to do it himself.
‘There’s no point in saying it.’
He’s not the one who listens.
Eventually, while sighing deeply, Baek Cheon slowly stepped forward. Then, naturally, the residents’ attention was focused on him.
He took a deep breath and stretched his broad shoulders.
In this world, there are people who cringe when a seat is laid out for them every time they step out, but Baek Cheon was a person who tried not to step out but would do somersaults once a seat was laid out for him.
“We Mount Hua Sect have cleared up all the bandits who raided Changsa, so you can rest assured and go back to sleep!”
“Whoaaaaaaa!”
As soon as he finished his words, a loud cheer erupted. There was no reason not to scream because it was a place to make them cheer.
“Long live Mount Hua Sect!”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“Mountain bandits! That’s not a big deal! Hahahaha!”
Baek Cheon waited for the chatter to calm down a bit before opening his mouth again.
“We’ll be wary of Changsa’s surroundings in case there’s another attack. And we will soon go up to Hyung Mountains and beat all the bandits that bother you, so please wait patiently.”
The cheers doubled.
Lastly, Baek Cheon smiled at the residents cheering for him. The wind blew in just in time, and his fine hair blew away a little. Then this time, a heartfelt exclamation burst out.
“How could he be so devoted…”
“What a wonderful sect Mount Hua is!”
The cheers for Baek Cheon were endless. Encouraged by this, Jo-Gol stepped forward to say something.
But Dopssok.
“……Huh?”
Jo-Gol looked back at the hand grabbing him.
Yoo Iseol, Yoon Jong, and Chung Myung reached out as if they had promised beforehand and held onto his hem.
“You can’t.”
“Stay still.”
“One must know the subject, Sahyung.”
“…….”
Jo-Gol’s face turned pale as if he had chewed on something.
“…I knocked down the bandit boss.”
“I know.”
“Yes, well done.”
“All right, get out of here.”
“…….”
When Jo-Gol couldn’t give up his lingering feelings, Chung Myung eventually twisted his face and said.
“There are times in the world where one plus one is not two. Don’t ruin the picture and stay here.”
‘Dog-like bastard.’
Tears welled up in Jo-Gol’s eyes.
Yoon Jong patted him on the shoulder.
“What can we do? The world is like that.”
“Don’t comfort me. It makes me want to cry more.”
“…Cheer up.”
Jo-Gol, whose shoulders drooped, returned to his place forlornly. “Hmm.”
Looking at the enthusiastic and cheering people, Chung Myung raised the corner of his mouth.
‘At this point, the rumor will spread.’
A well-known sect is bound to spread its reputation by itself even if it stays still, but a sect with a low reputation like Mount Hua will only become a sack if it stays still.
There was no surer way than to hit people’s eyes with impressive sights.
Those who witnessed the scene will now begin to discuss the activities of Mount Hua, and the embers they have created will spread like wildfire, spreading to pre-prepared firewood.
‘All right.’
Having accomplished everything he wanted, Chung Myung glanced up at the inn. The Elders watching them through the window waved like children when their eyes met with Chung Myung. The expressions were all bright and clear.
‘Tsk tsk tsk.’
‘Is this that nice? We did something great either way.’
‘It’s just the beginning.’
“Hurry up and sort it out. The real fight starts now.”
Chung Myung said, turning around.
Thus, the raid on Changsa of Dawebyeolchae ended amid cheers from the residents.
Leaving behind a bigger fight.
