Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 341

The gate is calm.

Despite its reputation worldwide, the path to Mount Hua was still quiet.

In the morning dew, a group of people appeared in front of Mount Hua’s front gate.

“Huuk! Huuk!”

“Yes, I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a while, but it’s really tough.”

“…Yes, that’s Mount Hua.”

They all wiped their sweaty brows and looked down.

A cloud was hanging in the middle of the cliff down there. Unless it was Mount Hua, it was a difficult sight to see.

“We used to climb this mountain a few times a day, didn’t we?”

“Huh. Has that ever happened?”

“Yes, we went up and down the mountain many times for training.”

“Yes, we did.”

Their voices had a faint echo of memories in them.

They quickly threw their gaze at the gate as they smiled at each other.

“It’s been a long time since we goes to Mount Hua, which we left behind when we were very young.”

“…Sahyung.”

“Let’s go in. We’ll have to stop by and beg forgiveness before the Elders. It would have been better if the master who was going in charge before was still alive.”

The old man, who was in the lead, walked toward the gate with a bitter face. Others followed the old man to the wide-open gate.

“Hmm. It looks like they’ve put up a new gate.”

“I think so. Rumor has it that Mount Hua made a lot of money.”

“Hahaha. I see. It’s Mount Hua fortune (red peach).” (홍복)

The old man burst into laughter and entered the gate.

At the same time, the old man stopped and opened his mouth without realizing it.

“My- My gosh…..”

“Hoo… this?”

“…….”

Those who followed could also not continue their words and looked around frantically.

It’s different.

It was so different from the image of Mount Hua they remembered.

“Where are all the ruined buildings go…”

“Don’t you think more than half of them are new?”

“It must have been bluestone that was laid on the floor, but if it was enough to spread that expensive thing over there, how much money would it cost…”

“Whe- When did Mount Hua do this?”

Everyone couldn’t hide their agitation.

The last time they saw Mount Hua was a place where they managed to repair a building that was likely to collapse at any moment.

Most of them were old and unusable, and even the intact ones were in a mess because of rain leaks and bugs. Nevertheless, the building was too weak and there was no money to the point of being unable to deal with it.

But now….

‘How did this happen?’

The new building and the past building were harmonized.

If Mount Hua in the past showed the collapse of a sect to the extreme, the present-day Mount Hua radiates dynamism and the power to move.

“Oh great ancestor.”

The old man in the lead couldn’t help but chant low.

“It’s… a new feeling, Sahyung.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

The old man in the lead nodded with mixed emotions.

That’s right, a sect is supposed to be like this.

As the buildings have been renewed, so are the disciples of Mount Hua…..

It was that moment.

“Euaaaaaa!”

“I’m going to die in the morning, really!”

“Who doesn’t catch that human? What are the ghosts doing?”

“Hey, isn’t that what you said to Chung Myung?”

“What’s the difference?”

A loud shout……. No, they started hearing screams.

“Huh?”

When they turned to the side where the sound was coming from, a group of young men in black robes were blazing and sprinting like crazy.

“Huh…?”

The urgency on their face and the biting lips. And the dripping sweat told them how hard the young men’s group was running now.

“Euaaaaaa!”

Some couldn’t beat the speed and rolled on the ground, but none of them helped the falling one. They just jumped over the falling one and rushed on their way.

And.

The man, who was running lightly as if taking a walk behind the running disciples, approached the fallen disciple and kicked him without delay.

“Argh!”

The person who was kicked flew in the air and fell in the middle of the running crowd.

“Tsk.”

The kicker swept his hair back and tied his slightly untied headband.

“Hm?”

Then, he belatedly found them standing at the gate and frowned slightly. And he bowed slightly toward them and greeted them.

“What might be the reason this respected group has to visit Mount Hua early in the morning?”

Those who saw the figure unknowingly voiced their admiration.

A magnificent figure.

He was a young man with the appearance of a hero who would lead the era.

‘Mount Hua is making a name for itself once again because of these people.’

‘That’s great.’

The old man nodded pleasedly.

Of course, the scene just shown to them earlier was a bit strange but to put it better, wouldn’t it be considered to spur training?

Looking at his dedicated, admirable, bright eyes, he seemed to know what he was doing.

“Yes, you must be the man who has recently made his mark in the world.”

“…Yes?”

“There is nothing to be humble about. Aren’t you Mount Hua Divine Dragon Chung Myung?”

“…… I’m not.”

“Huh?”

“I’m Baek Chun, Mount Hua’s second-class disciples Daesahyung (The oldest of its generation/distribution).”

“……Huh?”

The old man stared blankly at Baek Chun.

Judging from the fact that the corners of his eyes are wrinkled and the corners of his mouth are slightly twisted, it seems that he is really not Chung Myung.

“Ah… Such a mistake. Then you must be Righteous Sword?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

The old man covered his mouth with his fist and coughed low.

“I-I see. So you are Righteous Sword Baek Chun. I’ve heard a lot of rumors regarding you.”

“……Thank you.”

There was a stare in the eyes.

And there was a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Baek Chun cleared his voice slightly and opened his mouth.

“But who are you, and what brings you to Mount Hua this early in the morning?”

“Oh my Gosh. That’s right. Let’s start with the business.”

The old man smiled.

“Is Hyun Jong inside?”

“…….”

As soon as he heard that, Baek Chun’s face hardened. He stared at the old man with a slightly upset look.

He was angry that they dared to come to Mount Hua and called Sect Leader as if he were calling his subordinate, but if the other person is capable of such an act, he cannot act rashly.

“Excuse me, may I ask who you are?”

“It’s a little hard to tell you, my dear. So please call Hyun Jong. Then you’ll know everything.”

Baek Chun looked silently at the old man and those guarding behind him. Then he said firmly.

“I understand, but it’s against the laws of Mount Hua. Visitors to Mount Hua are not allowed to enter the sect without identifying themselves, and of course, they are not allowed to meet with Sect Leader.”

“Hahaha. There you go. There you go. That’s right.”

Even though it was quite a sharp answer, the old man laughed back as if he were happy.

“That’s right. But that’s a word for outsiders. I am not an outsider of Mount Hua, so I do not need to abide by the law.”

“…Yes?”

The old man shakes his head quietly.

“I’m not in a situation where I can talk to you for a long time. Go and get Hyun Jong. Or any of the Elders is fine.”

Baek Chun did not know how to deal with the situation.

Just then, a friendly voice rang in his ears.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, Elder!”

Baek Chun turned around, delighted.

Hyun Young.

He was walking at their side with a questioning face.

“They didn’t reveal their identity and said they want to meet Sect Leader.”

“Who dares to do such a rude thing? Who are these people?”

Hyun Young looked at the men with a slightly sulky face.

“I’ve never seen…….”

Then he closed his mouth tight.

His face began to harden even more.

Baek Chun was surprised to see it. He had seen Hyun Young angry many times, but this was the first time he had shown such a serious face.

On the other hand, the leading old man smiled rather brightly.

“It’s been a while.”

“…….”

Hyun Young stared at the old man without answering.

His eyes began to tremble slightly.

After staring at the old man for a long time, he opened his mouth as if chewing and spitting.

“How shameless are you to put your foot again in Mount Hua?”

“What a shame.”

The old man shakes his head.

“It’s called Initial Heart (수구초심(首丘初心)). Even young people who were full of spirit are bound to become old people someday, and when they become old people, they miss their hometown.”

“Hometown?”

Hyun Young’s face is distorted.

“How dare you say Mount Hua is your hometown?”

The old man’s face also hardened slightly at the word ‘you’.

“Hyun Young-ah.”

“Don’t call me as if I’m below you.”

“…….”

“Your relationship with Mount Hua was immediately cut off. But you dare come back here to eat something. Go back. I’ve done my best for not paying attention to you all.”

“I need to meet Hyun Jong.”

“Sect Leader is not so idle!”

In the end, Hyun Young raised his voice.

“What are you doing!”

“Yes?”

“Get them out now. And sprinkle salt!”

“… Elder.”

Baek Chun hesitated for a moment with a stiff face.

Mount Hua’s disciples, who stopped running after hearing the commotion, began to sneak up on them.

“What’s going on?”

“You think?”

“Elder Hyun Young must be really angry.”

Hyun Young’s angry voice was clearly embedded in their ears as they approached with a face that didn’t understand the situation at all.

“I don’t know why you came here again, but as long as I’m here, things won’t go the way you think!”

“……I fully understand your intention.”

“How dare you…….”

“There is one thing you must not forget, too. This is not for you to decide. Isn’t it?”

“…….”

Hyun Young kept his mouth shut. The old man smiled softly and said.

“Please call Hyun Jong. If he asks us to go back, I’ll turn around without saying a word.”

Hyun Young bit his lips gently.

He never wanted to let them meet the Sect Leader.

“I don’t know about that. If you don’t go back right away, then with my hand…”

It was then.

“What’s the matter?”

The voice distorted Hyun Young’s face heard from behind. Turning his head, he saw Hyun Jong approaching with his hands behind him.

‘Of all things…’

Before Hyun Young could do anything, Hyun Jong’s gaze turned to the old man.

Hyun Jong approached quietly and looked at the old man for a long time before lowering his head lightly.

“Long time no see. Sahyung.”

“……Yes, it’s been a long time.”

When the old man spoke softly, Hyun Young shouted again.

“Sect Leader, don’t call Sahyung to those who abandoned the sect! These are people who have already been removed from the Mount Hua name list (명부(名簿))! That’s not the right way to call them!”

Hyun Jong nodded calmly when he saw such Hyun Young.

“I see.”

“…….”

“But I can’t think of a word to refer to them, so don’t blame me too much.”

“…… Sect Leader.”

Hyun Jong looked at the old man with a calm gaze.

Hyun Dang(현당(賢堂)).

His Sahyung and the former Daesahyung of the Elders.

If he hadn’t left Mount Hua on his own, the one who became the Sect Leader now would have been Hyun Dang, not Hyun Jong.

“……so Sahyung is here.”

“It’s been a while.”

Hyun Bob (현법(賢法)), who was standing next to Hyun Dang, nodded with a smile.

Hyun Jong’s eyes glanced at the disciples. Everyone was staring at their side with a stiff face.

“…First of all, go inside. The morning air is cold. It would be good to have a conversation inside.”

“Right, let’s do that.”

Hyun Jong slowly turned around. Afterward, Hyun Young, who seemed unhappy, followed, and Hyun Dang’s group began to walk with relaxed faces.

Finally, as they moved away, Mount Hua’s disciples rushed to Baek Chun.

“Sasuk!”

“Sahyung. What the hell is going on here.”

“…I don’t know. Me too…….”

Baek Chun stopped talking and shut his mouth.

His eyes stare at the back of those heading to Sect Leader’s place.

‘What is this?’

Sect Leader clearly called that old man Sahyung. That would mean they were elders that left Mount Hua in the past.

“Baek Sang.”

“Yes, Sahyung.”

“……I think there’s going to be a big disturbance, so keep the disciples under control. From now on, Mount Hua’s second and third-class disciples are prohibited from approaching Sect Leader’s place, and if they decide where to stay, they can’t even come close to there. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Sahyung. I’ll keep them as you say.”

Baek Chun nodded heavily.

‘I don’t know.’

In the midst of this happening, it was Baek Chun who could not tell whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that Chung Myung left his seat.
