Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 588
Hwiiing!
A fierce wind blew in.
In the spacious yard in the middle of Nokchae, the bandits of Daebyeolchae with weapons drawn were staring at the wide-open entrance.
And…….
Step. Step. Step. Step.
Mount Hua’s disciples dressed in black uniforms marched in line through the wide open door.
Gulp.
Someone was swallowing dry saliva.
They was already preparing for it, but when they saw Mount Hua groups, their body became tense and their back started to cool down.
Daebyeolchae is one of the Stronghold that represent the Nokrim.
Of course, they fought several wars with other Evil Sects, and there were times when they had problems with famous Righteous Sects.
They took pride as they had been active in Daebyeolchae for a long time where they are soldiers that would not be lacking to be called a war veteran.
But even those people can’t hide their tension now that they met Mount Hua Sect.
‘It’s strange.’
It was a sensation that they had never felt before.
Righteous Faction has its own weight, and Evil Faction has its own sharpness. But for those Mount Hua Sect, they could feel both the weight of Righteous Faction and the sharpness of Evil Faction at the same time.
There was a strictness unique to Righteous Faction when walking with an undisturbed appearance, and there was a rough and free-spirited feeling like an Evil Faction in the momentum he radiated.
What kind of martial arts do they learn and what kind of training did they do to make the opponent feel like this? It was to the point where they couldn’t even guess.
Gulp.
As if not one or two people were thrilled by that sensation, the sound of swallowing saliva or gripping weapons could be heard here and there.
‘Jogungchae and Hyolrangchae have never been able to use their hands and have been beaten….’
But what made Chaeju open the door and order them to greet? ? I don’t think we can communicate with each other.
There was no room for speculation. The group of Mount Hua, who came into the fence, stopped walking.
Their number was barely over a hundred.
Rather, Mount Hua Sect was surrounded by nearly three times the number of people. But there was no slightest fear in the faces of Mount Hua’s disciples. They was full of confidence that they could win anytime.
There was a unique sense of composure, confidence, and firmness in those who had only walked moderately without turning their gaze.
Even though nothing really happened, the bandits of Daebyeolchae began to be suppressed by the momentum.
And then.
Step. Step. Step.
A man stepped forward and looked around.
While the faces of those who stood behind still showed signs of young age, the faces of those who stepped forward had obvious traces of the years.
He looked through the bandits holding sharp weapons and slowly opened his mouth.
“I am Hyun Sang, the Elder of Mount Hua Sect.”
Elder of Mount Hua Sect.
If it were only a day ago, none of these people here would have felt the weight of Mount Hua’s Elder. But in just one day, the name could never be ignored.
Reputation spreads based on performance. The achievements that Mount Hua achieved in just one day were undeniably amazing.
And now they’ve come all the way here to use even Daebyeolchae as a stepping stone to build their reputation.
“Daebyolchae’s Chaeju, step forward.”
A lofty momentum flowed from Hyun Sang. The bandits stepped back, flinching unknowingly, even though it wasn’t a radical momentum that would greatly crush the opponent.
“Tsk tsk tsk. You pathetic bastards.”
However, a harsh voice erupted from behind them.
“Get out of my way!”
With a voice that sounded like a hungry tiger growling, the bandits of Daebyeolchae that had been lined up split left and right.
Along the open path, Go Hong walked out wrapped in the black wolf skin.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It wasn’t that big, but every step had a lot of power. After the powerful step, the bandits surrounding them finally exhaled their suppressed breath and lit up their eyes.
‘Definitely….’
Hyun Sang narrowed his eyes and looked at Go Hong as well.
He was a man who was what he had been told, but also different from what he had been told.
Looking at his facial expressions and gestures, the rough side of a bandit was clearly evident.
However, seeing the old trick that instantly revived the momentum around him, it occurred to him that that bastartd may not be as simple as he thought.
Step.
Go Hong, who stepped forward, looked over Hyun Sang and the disciples of Mount Hua, then twisted the corners of his mouth and laughed.
“Mount Hua’s Elder?”
“…….”
“The hillbilly on Shaanxi sure has grown up. Seeing a third-rate sect who I had never heard of stiffen its neck just because it made a name.”
“What’s so important about fame? What matters is skill.”
“Hoho?”
Go Hong looked straight at Hyun Sang as he walked.
“An old man close to death speaks well.”
Hyun Sang did not respond to the provocation. There’s nothing more stupid than giving in to the opponent’s battlefield…….
“No, but who is that bastard teasing someone with his mouth!”
“Chu- Chung Myung! Hold it in!”
“Elder is talking, Chung Myung. Be patient, will you?”
“That bastard treats our Elder like an old man who’s in a coffin!”
“He- He didn’t go that far!”
Hearing the scuffle coming from behind, Hyun Sang’s shoulders drooped slightly.
‘… What about being stupid.’
It’s good to have a clear head…….
“Keuhum.”
Hyun Sang cleared his throat low, looked at Go Hong and said, “I was told that you rebelled and occupied Nokchae and sought the life of Nokrim King.
Mount Hua tries to subdue you and restore the Nokrim to its original state for the peace of Jungwon and the stability of Nokrim.”
There may be no need to share these words because they have no choice but to fight each other.
However, Hyun Sang thought each of these small conversations could give his disciples standing behind a solid cause and goal.
It’s important to be strong, and it’s important to fight to the fullest.
But more important than that is knowing why you are fighting. Power wielded aimlessly is just violence, and it will eventually eat away at the wielder.
“Peace?”
Go Hong smiled, showing his yellow teeth.
“The guys who came after me with sword are so good at shaking off their snouts. There’s nothing to say. I don’t have time to deal with an old man like you, so let the rat who coaxed you out now!”
“No, but that bastard really wants to die!”
“Ah, you bastard! Be patient!”
“If you step up now, he’ll look weird!”
“…….”
Go Hong’s face, while they shouted solemnly, trembled.
‘What are they been doing?’
Behind the elder, who stood solemnly, a man the size of a rat drop kept struggling and having seizures. And other youngsters around desperately stretched out holding the rat’s limbs.
“Oh! I’m really pissed off. In the past, I would have just swept them off even before they opened their mouth! What the, that bastard is seriously!”
“Oh, get out of here!”
“He’s having a seizure! Hurry up and get out of here!”
Im Sobyong, who was stabbed in the side and pushed back by the continuous fuss, sighed and trudged forward. Looking at Go Hong, he faces to face and smiled awkwardly.
“Long time no see, Go Hong.”
“… rat.”
There was clear hostility in Go Hong’s eyes.
“But does a man named Nokrim King invited Righteous Factions to the internal affair of the Nokrim? Could you still call yourself the hero of Nokrim inheriting your ancestors?”
“Hero…….”
Im Sobyong shrugged his shoulders with an unaffected face.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m not a hero.”
“I guess so. Because you are a rat.”
“Yes, I don’t care even if I’m a rat.”
Im Sobyong’s eyes, speaking nonchalantly, had already sunk cold.
Although Chung Myung persecuted him and did not show any significant presence throughout the subjugation, his eyes were clearly different from when he came up here.
He stared calmly at Go Hong with glowing eyes.
“It’s not my pride that matters, it’s not my reputation Being ridiculed and ignored is insignificant. The important thing is that the Nokrim brothers I’m responsible for shed not even a single drop of blood!”
As if it were all a thing of the past that he groaned in pain, Im Sobyong’s energy radiated out.
“It is Nokrim’s position to be threatened by Myriad Man House, to be checked by Eighteen Fortress of the Yangtze River (장강수로십팔채(長江水路十八砦)), to be subjugated by the Righteous Faction at all times, and to avoid the government by keeping an eye at them. If a man like you who is blinded by fame and position rises to the throne of Nokrim King, it will be clear that all the mountains will be covered with the blood of Nokrim.”
Im Sobyong’s eyes stared straight at Go Hong.
“I can do anything to stop it. It doesn’t matter if I’m being criticized for being cowardly.”
“Hu.”
Go Hong openly laughed at such Im Sobyong.
“That sounds like something a rat would do. Since a weakling like you is in the position of the Nokrim King, the other sects look down on us and stab us!”
Go Hong’s loud shouting sound spread in all directions.
“You’ve always been passive in the war for fear that the war with Myriad Man House would escalate. Even when the brothers died, you did not allow the attack! Ignoring the law of Nokrim that blood pays back with blood!”
Whatever the content, the energy contained within the voice was truly terrifying.
“But I’m different! I’m not a coward like you! I’ll swing my dao at the forefront and prove that Nokrim has power that can’t be ignored anywhere in the world!”
“Uooohhhhhh!”
As soon as Go Hong’s blood-boiling cry was over, Daebyeolchae’s bandits cheered a hundredfold in morale. As they lifted their weapons simultaneously, they showed a different confidence than before.
Regardless of logic and reason, they couldn’t deny that Go Hong had the power to attract people.
Then Im Sobyong spoke in a low voice.
“It’s not a way for Nokrim, that is a way to satisfy your greed.”
“Keuhuhu. You rat. That’s enough. Either way, you and I haven’t been able to communicate since before.”
“It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s that you don’t understand.”
Im Sobyong stared at Go Hong with lifeless eyes and sighed softly.
“I’m…….”
“Ah, damn it! Too many filthy words!”
“…….”
Im Sobyong drooped his shoulders and slid back at the now familiar voice, turning all the momentum for a moment.
Chung Myung, who had rejected all those who had blocked me, walked forward, annoyed with annoyance.
“Why? What, you’re gonna have a tea party? Do you want me to set up the table for you?”
“……No, it’s not that…….”
“What are you saying so much while we can stab each other with sword anyway! The bandits don’t even deserve their name!”
“…Yes?”
Chung Myung said, sticking out his belly.
“Mount Hua’s law is simple! The winner is right!”
“……There is no such law, Chung Myung.”
“He even fabricates the laws of Mount Hua now.”
Although Baek Cheon and Jo-Gol contradict his statement, there was no way that the words that Chung Myung normally couldn’t hear would reach Chung Myung’s ears now.
“The bandits who lived comfortably in the mountains seem to have plenty of time, but since we are busy people, let’s do this quickly. Shall we?”
Go Hong crumpled his face as he looked at Chung Myung in dismay.
“The kid who can’t cover where to lie is making a fuss with his mouth.”
“You seem to have grown up as a precious person and have been looking for all the seats before lying down. I’m a jerk, there’s no place in the world where I can’t lie down!”
At this point, Baek Cheon’s group in the back nodded in unison.
“That’s right. He was a beggar.”
“But which is better, bandits or beggars?”
“I think I’ll have to think about that, Sasuk.”
Go Hong was so angry that he felt his head boil.
“I’ll see if you can spout nonsense with that reckless tongue even when your bones are pulled out from under your feet.”
Chung Myung opened his eyes wide at the terrifying threat.
“Oh, you’d better watch your language.”
“… What?”
“It’s my specialty to return such a word.”
Chung Myung pointed his finger at Go Hong and grinned.
“I remembered everything, you.”
“This…….”
And with that remark, he stepped back and stood behind Hyun Sang.
Hyun Sang opened his mouth with a determined face.
“Mount Hua!”
“Yes!”
“Subdue the villains and let the world know that Mount Hua’s Righteousness is here!”
“Yes!”
Chaeng!
The disciples of Mount Hua Sect, who pulled out swords in unison, pressed the bandits and narrowed the distance.
“What are you doing1 Destroy all their bones right now!”
“Yes!”
The Nokrim bandits were weapons also infused with killing intent.
“Hit them!”
“Kill them!”
Two waves rushed toward each other at the same time.
