Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 746

Hyun Jong closed his eyes quietly.

‘Pirates.’ (Literally mean water bandits.)

They were not an opponent to be taken lightly. As Hyun Sang said, pirates are rather a more troublesome enemy to deal with than Nokrim.

There was a reason why many sects in the world could not easily condemn them even though they knew about the villain deeds of pirates.

Fighting on land and fighting on the water are completely different types of battles. Other sects were aware of the fact, so they didn’t rashly pick a fight with pirates.

‘We must avoid conflict as much as possible.’

If a problem arises with pirates, the innocent disciples of Mount Hua would be harmed. The honor and pride of the sect are important, but should they endure the scars on the bodies of their disciples for that?

‘It’s not worth even a scratch.’

It would be best to resolve this as amicably as possible.

And to do that…….

“Sect Leadeeeeeer!”

Hyun Jong closed his eyes tightly to the sound that pierced his ears.

‘Doesn’t that guy ever sleep?’

The voice echoed not beyond the tightly closed door, but from the roof of his quarters.

“No, I’m saying I can really solve it!”

Hyun Jong rolled over in bed with an annoyed look on his face.

“Sect Leadeeeeer!”

“This punk, please get some sleep! Get some sleep!”

It’s already past 1:00 am in the morning, but that damn disciple doesn’t even show signs of getting tired, let alone backing down.

“Just think about it! How can I sleep peacefully when something unbelievable has happened! You can only sleep when your heart is at ease, and then….”

Hyun Jong covered his ears.

That damn guy has been yapping the whole day like this since the end of the meeting. Even if someone talks a lot, they should be tired after making so much noise, but there’s no sign of exhaustion.

“Sect Leader! Sect Leadeeeeeer!”

“Ei!”

Hyun Jong covered himself with a blanket.

‘It’s absolutely impossible!’

If it was any other matter, he wouldn’t have left Chung Myung out. To be honest, it was still a burden for him to send his disciples somewhere without Chung Myung.

But not this time.

Of course, Chung Myung is someone who solves things. If he steps up, the matter will be neatly solved.

But in the process, you must bear that the matters get monstrously big.

Chung Myung’s way of handling things tends to stir up both existing and non-existent problems, inflate the situation as much as possible, then blow it all up and sweep it all away.
This issue absolutely cannot be resolved in such a way. It’s a matter that should be handled as amicably as possible after considering the circumstances.

“No, Sect Leader! I have to go! If I just go and provoke them, those who got their feet stepped on will come out and tell the truth on their own, I swear.”

“That’s why you’re excluded, that’s why! Ugh, you brat!”

In the end, Hyun Jong’s frustration exploded and he kicked off his blanket.

“Sect Leadeeeeeeeer!”

“Shut up! Before dirt gets into my ey-… No, no! Even if dirt gets into my eyes, I will never send you!”

He was about to say before dirt gets into his eyes, but he quickly changed his words, fearing that Chung Myung would really pour dirt right into his eyes.

“Ah, I have to go, Sect Leader! I will go and throw all those pirate bastards into the water! No, don’t we have to check how well they can struggle in the water that they dare to claim to be pirates?”
“….”

The more Chung Myung tried to persuade, the more counterproductive it was.

“At any rate, no! No way!”

“Sect Leadeeeeeeeeer!”

Hyun Jong closed his eyes tight and continued to cover his ears in silence.

“Noooooo!”

Chung Myung, who climbed on the roof of Hyun Jong’s quarters, howled like a wolf looking at the moon.

And not too far away, Five Swords was watching the scene with a complex, subtle face.

“He doesn’t get tired.”

“In a way, isn’t he amazing? He’s been like that from morning till dawn.”

“…I sometimes find that persistence scary.”

Baek Cheon sighed deeply.

“Sect Leader is also incredible. He doesn’t even open the door once with that obstinate guy raising such a ruckus.”

“…What’s the point of opening and then suffering?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Everyone shook their heads.

In the meantime, however, Yoon Jong seemed to have something else on his mind.

“By the way, Sasuk.”

“What?”

“Are we really leaving Chung Myung behind?”

“….”

Baek Cheon could not readily answer. Then Jo-Gol laughed at Yoon Jong.

“Why, Sahyung? Are you afrai-…. Or not. I’m just asking. Sahyung, Sahyung, first put down that fist and let’s use words.”

Yoon Jong, who had been looking at Jo-Gol with narrowed eyes, silently lowered his fist again and spoke to Baek Cheon again.

“Of course, considering the situation that might occur when we take Chung Myung… Thinking about that… Uh…”

Yoon Jong couldn’t continue his word and closed his eyes tightly.

– Euhahahahahat! These pirate bastaaaaaards!

– Die! Dieeee! Die!

– What? You play well with water! Then get in, you punk! Try sticking your head out once! Let’s see what happens!

The things that would unfold before his eyes were already vivid as if he had seen them once before. No matter how positively he tried to think, all he could see was the blood-stained Yangtze River.

“That… Yes. Of course that… It would be quite brutal.”

“A little?”

“…It would be very brutal.”

Everyone shook their heads.

The greatest thing about Chung Myung is that he is fair to everyone, and the most terrible thing about Chung Myung is that he is fair to everyone. Isn’t it amazing that he hit everyone regardless of whether they’re Wudang, Southern Edge Sect, Myriad Man Manor, or Eighteen Fortress of Yangtze River?

It is obvious what would happen if such a man was taken to the Yangtze River in the name of investigation. That would be an assault in the name of investigation, and perhaps the unprecedented situation of the Yangtze River flowing backward could occur.

“Anyway, I understand that it’s uncomfortable for Chung Myung to cause trouble. But isn’t this about investigating the pirates, one of the Five Great Evil Sect?”

“…That’s right.”

“I wonder if we can leave Chung Myung out for that….”

Yoon Jong blurred the end of his speech. His face showed worry.

Of course, it is true that Chung Myung is causing trouble. But in case of any unforeseen crisis, the person they can most rely on is also Chung Myung.

Five Swords, who has overcome numerous crises with Chung Myung, knew that better than anyone else. Therefore, they could fully understand the words coming out of Yoon Jong’s mouth.

“I understand what you mean, but isn’t this what Sect Leader has decided?”

“Sasuk….”

Baek Cheon let out a low sigh.

“It is true that I am worried, too. But Yoon Jong, think about it.”

“Yes?”

“In that way of thinking, it means we can’t do anything without Chung Myung.”
Yoon Jong’s face hardened slightly. Because what Baek Cheon says is true.

Baek Cheon exhaled with a crumpled face.

“I don’t want to admit it… I really don’t want to admit it… Ugh. I really don’t want to admit it.”

“….”

“It’s true that I feel relieved when Chung Myung is around. But we can’t just rely on him forever.”

“But, Sasuk.”

“I understand what you mean. You want to say that you can’t treat it the same as other cases because it involves dealing with Eighteen Water Fortress of Yangtze River, one of Five Great Evil Sect.”

“That’s right.”

“Yoon Jong. The enemies that Mount Hua has to deal with in the future will become stronger. Will you keep looking at Chung Myung every time?”

Baek Cheon, who threw the question, breathed out a long breath with a heavy face.

He spoke bravely, but he was just as anxious.

‘Now I can see how much we’ve relied on him.’

But this was inevitable.

Wasn’t Chung Myung’s skills and judgment so much higher than that of typical rising stars? Even the old martial artists who have been rolling around in Kangho get dancing in his hands.

Even if he wasn’t the strongest among them, it was clear that everyone naturally relied on Chung Myung.

‘But we can’t do that forever. On the contrary, to relieve his burden.’

Baek Cheon turned slightly and looked at Yoo Iseol.

“What do you think, Samae?”

Then she glanced at Chung Myung with a blank face and said casually.

“Sect Leader’s decisions.”

“….”

“A matter to be followed.”

Simple and nice.

As Yoo Iseol said. Apart from what they thought, it was Hyun Jong’s decision as the Sect Leader. If they are a disciple of Mount Hua, they must all comply with that order.

“Sasuk. Aren’t you going to ask my opinion?”

“Hum, as Samae says. It’s Sect Leader’s decision.”

“Sasuk? I have an opinion, too.”

“Therefore, it’s not something to argue about. We just have to follow as a disciple.”

“Sasuuuuk?”

Baek Cheon’s forehead eventually had veins popping out next to the complaining jar. Back Cheon, unable to overcome the annoyance, turned to Jo-Gol.

“…Do I have to tell you?”

“Are you discriminating against people now?”

“Yes.”

“….”

Jo-Gol’s shoulders drooped like a dog in the rain as Baek Cheon vehemently expressed his displeasure.

“Speak up, speak up! I’ll listen!”

“It’s okay. I’m always poked in the side… Hahat!”

At that moment Jo-Gol swerved his body sideways. Thanks to this, Yoon Jong’s hand, which tried to grab Jo-Gol by the collar, had no choice but to cut the air in vain.

“What?”

“Do you think I’ll always be the one to suffer! I am Jo-Gol! Mount Hua’s ferocious beast!

“Mount Hua’s ferocious beast is Baek-ah.”

“…Huh?”

‘Now that you mention it?’

Jo-Gol awkwardly laughed and stood up, brushing off the dust that had settled on his clothes.

“Anyway, in my opinion, you all seem to be worrying about something pointless.”
“Huh? What is?”

“Do you think this guy will not go just because Sect Leader told him not to?”

At those words, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned toward the roof. Precisely, towards Chung Myung who was still howling.

“Sect Leadeeeeer! Aaaaaaa!”

Jo-Gol snickered.

“The Chung Myung I know is the kind of guy who, if there’s a mountain in front of him, will bore through it, and if there’s a river, he’ll dig a waterway and divert the flow. Do you think such a guy will obediently listen just because Sect Leader told him not to go? Aren’t you all underestimating him too much?”
“Indeed……”

“You have a point.”

It was just as everyone was nodding in agreement,

“Well, my thoughts are a little different.”

“Huh?”

Tang Soso, who had been silent the whole time, said with a sullen look.

“Sahyung is all too focused on Chung Myung Sahyung, but Sect Leader is not someone to be underestimated either. Does Sahyung think Sect Leader would not know this? Sect Leader will also plan every possible measure to prevent Chung Myung Sahyung from following this time.”

Upon hearing this, it also seemed right. There’s no way Hyun Jong wouldn’t know what they knew.

“It’s a confrontation between Mount Hua’s best spear and shield. We’ll have to wait and see who wins.”

Tang Soso’s voice carried a significant undertone.

But there was an unknown sadness in Baek Cheon’s heart.

‘It sounds great when you hear it.’

The battle between the best spear and shield of Mount Hua. It’s just like something straight out of a story? It’s as if the best of Mount Hua are staking everything on a match. That’s how it sounds!

“But why are such words used in this situation, damn it!”
“Sect Leaadeeeeer! Are you listening?!”

“It’s noisy!”

“Ah, shut up, you punk!”

The shouts of Hyun Jong and Baek Cheon resonated simultaneously.

Ahead of the dispatch of the investigative team to the Yangtze River, Mount Hua‘s night, which could not pass smoothly for a day, was somehow getting deeper.
