Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 292

“There can be no defeat.”

Jong Nigok’s eyes revealed the cold atmosphere.

The disciples of the Southern Edge Sect nodded nervously.

“I don’t want you to win anything. It’s great if you can, but it’s a pity if you can’t. However, losing to Mount Hua is a different story.”

When the word “loss” was mentioned, Jong Seohan in the corner flinched and bowed his head.

Jong Nigok cast a cold glance at Jung Seohan.

“It makes no difference if you lose to another sect. But we can’t keep losing to Mount Hua. People in Jungwon are those who exaggerate their words based solely on the outcome. If we lose again to Mount Hua, Southern Edge Sect will be labeled as a “sect” that falls short of Mount Hua for a while. Can you withstand the humiliation?”

“Absolutely not.”

Jong Nigok nodded as if he liked it when Jin Geum Ryong replied with a cold face.

“Jin Geum Ryong.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“You especially, shouldn’t lose.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jong Nigok’s gaze swept over Jin Geum Ryong and Jin Cho Baek, who was sitting in the back.

“… It’s unlikely, but don’t let your personal feelings get you into trouble.”

“It will never occur. I will defeat them all and restore the honor of the Southern Edge Sect.”

“Good.”

Jong Nigok remained motionless. He then turned around and looked at Isong Baek.

“Baek Isong The same is true for you.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“I don’t have high hopes for you. But be careful not to miss out.”

Different people have different expectations.

There could be other reasons, but Isong Baek was aware of them.

He is not particularly constrained because what he learned was Southern Edge Sect’s martial arts in the past, but those who expected him no longer exist in Southern Edge Sect.

A one-of-a-kind heresy.

That was the best way to describe Isong Baek’s situation.

“I won’t let anything defile Southern Edge Sect’s honor.”

He, on the other hand, simply replied calmly.

Jong Nigok no longer paid attention to Isong Baek after those words.

“Those who uphold our honor will be rewarded appropriately, while those who defile our honor will be punished appropriately. Demonstrate that you are not ashamed of your Southern Edge Sect. name.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, Sect Leader.”

Jong Nigok looked around with cold eyes and quickly exited.

The rest of the Southern Edge Sect’s disciples then let out the sighs they had been holding in.

Isong Baek, who was looking at it from behind, quietly closed his eyes.

‘How did it get this way?’

It’s gloomy.

It’s extremely cold.

Southern Edge Sect was not always like this.

However, following the crushing defeat at the Jonghwa Conference, Southern Edge Sect appears to have evolved into a new sect.

“Isong Baek.”

Isong Baek raised his head in response to the sound of his name being called.

“Elder Sama.”

Sama Seung, who had previously led Southern Edge Sect in the Jonghwa Branch, was staring at him with empty eyes. Sama Seung appeared haggard after the crushing defeat at the time, as if he had aged a decade.

Is it true that a face contains the heart?

Sama Seung was a strict and cold person in the past, but he still made time to embrace the disciples. But now he only has a hint of nervous eccentricity in him.

“Follow me.”

“……Yes.”

Isong Baek silently nodded and followed Sama Seung outside.

Sama Seung, who had entered the forest after leaving Shaolin’s temple, returned to Isong Baek only after confirming that there was no movement around them.

“You know who your opponent is.”

“Yes, it’s Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”

“Do not speak that cursed nickname in front of me.”

“……Yes.”

Sama Seung’s face was filled with venom.

Chung Myung received the nickname “Mount Hua Divine Dragon” from the Jonghwa Conference after triumphantly defeating the second-class disciples of the Southern Edge Sect.

In other words, the annex contains the humiliation of the Southern Edge Sect.

“Yes, that Chung Myung guy is your opponent. Are you confident that you can defeat him?”

Isong Baek did not respond.

Can you beat Chung Myung?

“… I’m just trying my best.”

“There is no need for such a soft answer. Answer me. Are you confident that you can defeat Chung Myung?”

Isong Baek breathed a low sigh.

“……None.”

“I suppose so.”

Sama Seung pushed him without pausing, as if he already knew the answer.

“As you know, there is no one to stop him now in Southern Edge Sect.”

“…….”

“Not only you, but even Jin Geum Ryong can’t beat him. I’m sure you know, right?”

“……Yes.”

Isong Baek responded quietly.

“However, Southern Edge Sect must defeat him. No, winning is essential, and he must be eliminated.”

“E- Elder.”

“Listen first!”

“……Yes.”

Sama Seung’s eyes shone with a chill.

“Mount Hua and Southern Edge Sect were born with the fate of one failing when the other flourished. Southern Edge Sect fell when Mount Hua was raging, and when we were in prime, Mount Hua was on the verge of extinction. Do you know that?”

“……How can it be…….”

“There is no denying reality. If you don’t admit the truth, you can’t do anything.”

Sama Seung said this while grinding his teeth.

“You must know. Now Southern Edge Sect is losing its power. After the d*mn Jonghwa Conference, Southern Edge Sect lost vitality and light. Mount Hua, on the other hand, is resurrecting from a situation that seemed to have completely collapsed. This is the reality. ”

Isong Baek bowed his head in respect.

Even if it was true, he couldn’t understand why Sama Seung had summoned him from such a long distance and said this.

Sama Seung opened his mouth and looked at Isong Baek with meaningful eyes.

“How far can you go for Southern Edge Sect?”

“…What do you mean?”

“It’s literally. If I ask you to give your life for Southern Edge Sect, will you abide?”

Isong Baek nodded as he looked at Sama Seung.

“I will.”

“What if I ask you to give up your honor?”

“I will.”

“Then can you give up everything for Southern Edge Sect? Even if the rest of your life is just a disgrace?”

“I won’t hesitate.”

Sama Seung had a fishy smile on his lips.

“Yes, if you’re a disciple of Southern Edge Sect, you should.”

Sama Seung poked his hand into the sleeve and pulled out a small vial.

“Take it.”

Isong Baek could not reach out his hand willingly and stared at Sama Seung’s vial.

“What is this?”

“There is nothing to say. For now, take it in.”

Isong Baek hesitated a little and eventually accepted the small vial. Sama Seung stared at him with a vacant eye and said, “Put it on your sword before you go to the match tomorrow.”

“…Elder?”

“Don’t ask.”

Sama Seung says firmly. His eyes seemed to glisten with a strange brilliance.

“A secret is better with fewer people. You don’t even need to know what it is. If there is a problem, you should answer that you don’t know anything.”

“Elder, this is…….”

“Didn’t you tell me? That you are ready to abandon everything you have?”

Isong Baek bit his lips.

Of course, he is ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of the Southern Edge Sect.

But isn’t that and this a different matter?

“Eldest, there’s no poison work to Mount Hua Divine Dragon. And the use of poison in sparring will cause the honor of Southern Edge Sect…..”

“It’s not poison.”

“…Yes?”

Sama Seung put a triumphant smile around his mouth.

“Do I look like such a sloppy person? No one will know and no one finds out. But it’s something that can definitely kill him. You just need to put the liquid on your sword so it doesn’t get on your body, and give him one scratch on his body.”

Isong Baek looked at Sama Seung with a stiff face.

‘Has it become like this?’

This is corruption.

How come Southern Edge Sect, who used to advocate cooperation and righteousness, resorted to such a cheap trick?

“Elder, I…….”

“Isong Baek.”

Sama Seung cut off his words coldly.

“Are you going to disobey the orders of the sect?”
“…….”

“You can’t be Jin Geum Ryong anyway. The Elder does not expect you, and now you’re going backward from before. If you really want to repay this Elder’s favor, you shouldn’t hesitate to put yourself in a pile of manure.”

It was an ominous voice.

“You’re not going to betray the mission given by the Elder who raised and taught you, are you?”

Isong Baek’s eyes shook violently.

“Do as you are told. Then everything will be solved.”

Isong Baek was about to open his mouth at the stern words of Sama Seung.

“Can that be a solution?”

A cold voice came from behind their back.

The familiar faces were seen in the eyes of the two, who turned their heads in surprise.

“Ji-Jin Geum Ryong.”

“Sahyung?”

Jin Geum Ryong approached with a cold face as if he had worn a hand-made iron glove. And reached out to Isong Baek.

“Give it to me.”

“Sahyung?”

“Are you not going to listen to me?”

Isong Baek silently handed over the bottle in his hand. Then as soon as Jin Geum Ryong received it, he threw it on the ground and trampled on it.

Crack!

The vial was broken and the liquid inside was scattered on the ground.

“Wha-What are you doing?”

Sama Seung screamed in fright. But Jin Geum Ryong just replied coldly.

“It seems Sect Leader was staying away from Elder Sama Seung recently. You must be senile now. If you get caught doing this trick in front of everyone, Southern Edge Sect won’t even have a root left.”

“Don’t I say that it wouldn’t get caught?”

“Elder.”

Jin Geum Ryong stares fiercely at Sama Seung.

“He who has eaten the rust of the sect said, ‘You must repay for the kindness?'”

“Yes! Why don’t you understand!? At this rate…….”

“Then go ahead and use that sword to fight Chung Myung.”

“…Wha-What?”

There was contempt in Jin Geum Ryong’s eyes.

“If you have to, do it yourself. Even if Elder poisons the sword and attacks Chung Myung, I will not stop you. Instead!”

With a hardened face, he said forcefully as if chewing.

“Do not touch my Saje.”

“…….”

Sama Seung’s eyes flashed with anger. But Jin Geum Ryong didn’t back down an inch. He just stared at the Elder in front of him with a cold look.

“……You stupid bastard.”

Eventually, Sama Seung gritted his teeth and turned around.

And he went away without looking back.

Jin Geum Ryong, who was watching his back until he disappeared, murmured.

“Foolish…….”

It was not long before his eyes turned to Isong Baek.

“Sahyung…….”

“Don’t think about criticizing the Elder.”

“…….”

“A man’s leisure comes from a barn, and a martial artist’s leisure comes from the martial art. How many people can maintain their sanity when the sect they have believed in all their lives is shaken?”

“…I don’t blame him.”

“That’s enough.”

Jin Geum Ryong turns his body and walks away. Isong Baek hurriedly called him and stopped him.

“Sa- Sahyung.”

“…….”

Jin Geum Ryong stopped walking.

“Thank you for helping me…..”

“Don’t be mistaken.”

He looked back and growled.

“I just can’t allow Southern Edge Sect resorting to such a cheap trick. I will break Chung Myung with my own hands. I don’t need your help or anything.”

“……Yes.”

“And.”

Jin Geum Ryong hesitated a little unlike before. Then he spoke in a low voice.

“Isong Baek.”

“Yes, Sahyung.”

“I don’t like you.”

“…….”

“But even if I don’t like you, you are my Saje and I am your Daesahyung. It is my natural duty to keep the Saje from going the wrong path. I will protect you if you are in crisis, whether you like it or not. That’s the mindset I should have as a person who will become the Sect Leader.”

“Sahyung.”

Jin Geum Ryong, who made eye contact with Isong Baek, made a low declaration.

“Chung Myung is a wall that you can’t cross.”

“……I know.”

“Hit it and break it. I’ll take your revenge.”

“…….”

With that said, he went down the mountain without looking back.

Isong Baek sighed low as he stared at the back of his Daesahyung.

Sahyung.

In fact, the person who has changed the most since the Jonghwa Conference is Jin Geum Ryong.

His obsession with Chung Myung horrified even those who watched.

Now, some people look down on him in Southern Edge Sect.
