Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 388

“No, I’m sorry.”

“….”

“Hey, isn’t this kid really timid?”

“….”

“Every time he opens his mouth, a monk who talks about Great Mercy and Great Compassion (대자대비(大慈大悲)) is sulking at nothing, and his mouth is sticking out. Is that how a monk behaves, huh?”

“I’m not sulking….!”

“I’m not sulking.”

“Do- Don’t!”

Hye Yeon’s smooth shiny head turned red.

“Ho- How can you leave a man like that!”

“Because I didn’t know. No, this bastard! The problem is that in the first place, this monk was in the corner of his room and locked the door because he was afraid of ghosts! If you’re like that, who catches ghosts? Who!”

“Shaolin has never taught me how to catch a ghost!”

“Do you carry Golden Sutra (금강경) to use as firewood when you roast rabbits?”

“Ho- How can a monk eat meat!”

“Just don’t touch the meat from now on!”

“I’ve never touched it before….”

Baek Chun and Jo-Gol shook their heads as they glanced back at Hye Yeon and Chung Myung, who were arguing.

“Let’s just say it’s the usual Chung Myung. But when did monk Hye Yeon start arguing with that guy like that?”

“Well, who doesn’t? When a typhoon passes by, everything is swept away.”

“I can’t believe they fought like that in the final of the Murim Competition…..”

It was cool back then.

Right, it was great.

But….

Baek Chun sighed again.

‘Monk, why did you do that?’

Of course, some people always jump into the fire with a straw. Humans are not always rational and do things others do not understand.

But….

‘There’s a limit to that, too.’

Coming on your own feet to learn something from Chung Myung?

‘Why? It’s like you walk into hell on your own.’

Unfortunately, Hye Yeon was now paying dearly for his decisions.

“By the way, Sasuk.”

“Yes?”

“Will the monk follow us to Mount Hua?”

“I guess so.”

“He’s not going back to Shaolin?”

“…do I know?”

“The more I see him, the more strange he is.”

Does Hye Yeon know?

The fact that Mount Hua’s disciples, who believe he is a human being who will never return to the world, regard him as a monkey.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Hye Yeon was now distracted by Chung Myung and was unaware of the situation.

“Ah, and, Sasuk.”

“Ah, why do you keep saying that?”

“…Why am I dragging this cart with Sasuk?”

“….”

‘That’s a good question.’

Instead of responding, Baek Chun raised his gaze to the distant sky.

Toltoltol.

Instead of horses, Baek Chun and Jo-Gol were pulling carts with Chung Myung, Hye Yeon, and Hyun Young on them.

“Why?”

Chung Myung answered for them as if he had heard their conversation.

“One of them is a man who flaunts a sword while pretending to be arrogant and now wears a sword for children’s training instead.”

Flinch.

Baek Chun glanced down at his waist.

Instead of the completely smashed sword in the fight with Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong, the wooden swords used by new disciples at Huayin Sect were dangling there.

“…No, this….”

“And one is a man who Evil Sect stabbed.”

Flinch.

Jo-Gol shuddered and fixed his eyes only on the front to avoid Chung Myung. As if they would never make eye contact.

“Whoa?”

Chung Myung gritted his teeth.

“Based on the reaction, you thought I’d let it slide, didn’t you?”

‘You’re such a leech.’

‘What on earth makes you so petty?’

“Wow, you put pressure on your shoulders after making that mess? Who would think you did a great job?”

“….”

“N- No. You did a great job. You almost died “two with him” together. Wouldn’t you go down in history? Huh? Say something. Hey?”

“….”

Baek Chun and Jo-Gol shrugged their heads side by side.

“Anyway, I’m out of my mind. A chick that thinks they’re a phoenix, a phoenix, you know. If you’re a little behind other people’s speed by the time we get to Mount Hua, you’ll have a wind hole in your butt.”

“….”

“Run.”

“Yes!”

Baek Chun and Jo-Gol started running and pulling the carts.

The faces of Mount Hua’s disciples as they watched Baek Chun and Jo-Gol were full of pity.

‘He defeated Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong, but is still being criticized.’

‘I feel sorry for him.’

But no one could say the idea out loud. However, Hye Yeon opened his mouth because the situation was unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

“By- By the way, Siju.”

“What?”

“No matter what, I still think that riding a man-drawn cart is a bit-”

“You want to pull it instead?”

“… -comfortable.”

“Right.”

Everyone looked at Hye Yeon with blank eyes.

‘The monk’s adaptability is incredible.’

‘The face is red but he says it as if nothing happened.’

‘It’s already starting to turn black.’

‘Is Shaolin okay like this?’

Chung Myung, who simply suppressed Hye Yeon, spoke up.

“Run, you slow horses! We’ll be in Mount Hua by tomorrow at all costs!”

“I- It took three days to get here!”

“You can do anything with grit! Run!”

“Hnggg!”

Baek Chun and Jo-Gol began to speed up. Following him, the other disciples ran without saying a word.

Mount Hua’s peak in the distance was approaching little by little.

* * *

“Eum.”

Hyun Jong looked up at the sky and frowned slightly.

‘Dark clouds…’

It may be a day or two that it rains on Mount Hua, but the dark clouds seemed strangely ominous today.

After watching the dark clouds with anxious eyes for a long time, Hyun Jong finally let out his worries.

“There’s nothing wrong with the kids.”

Unconsciously staring at Xian where his disciples were away, he shook his head to shake off his evil thoughts.

Hyun Young and Chung Myung were there, would there be any big problem?

“Sect Leader.”

“Yes.”

Un Am, who had come to a short distance, moved deeply toward Hyun Jong.

“You have a dark expression. Do you have any concerns?”

“It’s not like that.”

Hyun Jong shook his head.

“I was just worried that the weather was so strange that it might be an ominous sign.”

“Oh….”

Hyun Jong said while he was immersed in thought for a moment, fixing his gaze on the dark clouds.

“It’s weird to be human.”

Un Am looked at him. Seeing the profound eyes of the Sect Leader, it felt like his heart was sinking.

“In the past, when we lived as if we were drowning in a swamp, we would only worry about whether Mount Hua could rise again. But to think a day where we are worrying about an emergency situation would come….”

Hyun Jong smiled brightly.

“There is another concern.”

“Isn’t that what people are by nature?”

“Yes, and that’s what life is all about. He who rises must also bear more.”

Hyun Jong closed his eyes slightly.

As Mount Hua gains more and rises higher, jealousy and more enemies will increase.

The conversation he had with Shaolin’s Bangjang Bop Jeong the other day was a reminder for Hyun Jong.

“I wish I could carry more so the children could run around the world a little lighter.”

But Un Am smiled brightly and shook his head.

“No, Sect Leader.”

“Hm?”

“None of Mount Hua’s disciples would want to run on the shoulders of Sect Leader. Going together, whether it’s disciple or Sect Leader. Isn’t that the way Mount Hua should go?”

“… You’ve improved your eloquence a lot, this guy.”

“Haha. I’ve been seeing someone who’s so good at talking, so I guess that’s what happened.”

Hyun Jong burst out laughing.

“Yes, it should be.”

These yangbans don’t even allow Hyun Jong to become their manure. They say we can still run more, so let’s run together.

Then….

“That’s the way it should be.”

It was the moment when Hyun Jong nodded.

“Sect Leader!”

“Yes?”

From far away, Un Gum came running with a white face.

Hyun Jong, who felt uncomfortable at sight, hardened his face.

“What happened?”

“The – There’s a man from Beggar Union! He needs to see Sect Leader right now!”

As soon as he heard the word “Beggar Union,” Hyun Jong found this really unusual.

Beggar Union is an intelligence organization.

When there was a discussion of their visit, it necessarily meant that something was wrong.

“Right now, come here……. No! I’ll go myself! Lead the way!”

“Yes!”

Hyun Jong followed the running Un Gum before him.

When they reached the gate, the Beggar Union’s man, soaked with sweat, sat on the ground and breathed heavily.

“What’s going on?”

“Sect Leader….”

“Yes! Let’s start with the situation!”

“Yes!”

The Beggar Union’s man took a deep breath and poured out words at once.

“I’m Yang Pyo (양표(梁漂)), a messenger Sochi Gol (소취걸(小取乞)/Sochi Gol), the Vice Branch Head of Huayin Beggar Union’s branch! A communication arrived from another Beggar Union branch this morning. Myriad Man House! Myriad Man House has entered Shaanxi!”

“Myriad Man House!”

Hyun Jong clenched his fist as if it had come.

“By Shaanxi?”

“Given their direction of travel, it appears that the purpose is Mount Hua.”

“Uh….”

“My- Myriad Man House!”

A groan-like voice leaked from the mouths of Mount Hua disciples who surrounded them.

A fear that could not be hidden spread quickly.

How could they not?

The opponent is Myriad Man House. It is one of the Great Five Evil Sect that command the world.

Mount Hua, which has only just begun stretching, is incomparable in its reputation and power.

While everyone was bewildered, only Hyun Jong remained calm and opened his mouth.

“How many enemies?”

“What?”

“I don’t think the whole Myriad Man House is coming. Do you have any information on the number of enemies entering Shaanxi?”

“Oh, yes! There is! According to our understanding, there are three units! We have yet to figure out any additional personnel.”

“Give me information about the three.”

Hyun Jong narrowed his forehead.

Perhaps because he didn’t know the system of Myriad Man House accurately, he didn’t know how much power the three units were.

“I heard that Myriad Man House has more than ten units, am I right?”

“Yes, the Myriad Man House comprises twelve units, and a few more armed forces.”

“Three of them.”

It can be said that it is fortunate that everyone did not come, but they must not be fools enough to send lacking people away.

‘They’re saying three is enough to deal with Mount Hua. That’s how confident they are.’

On the other hand, Mount Hua is not even in full power right now.

“Did you send a communication to Xian?”

“Yes! I’ve informed them by the earliest means!”

“Finally.”

Hyun Jong took a deep breath.

He must know it, but he’s afraid to hear that.

“Considering the time when it arrived at Xian, where would they be now?”

“Tha- That’s…….”

Yang Pyo replied in a cold sweat.

“I think they’re almost there by now. Maybe they’re under Mount Hua…….”

Hyun Jong slowly closed his eyes.

This an urgent situation.

But no one rushed Hyun Jong, who closed his eyes and was silent.

A little time passes.

Hyun Jong’s eyes opened.

“Un Am.”

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

“Gather the disciples.”

“Yes!”

There was not even a single tremor in his eyes.

“Sect Leader.”

Hyun Sang said in a slightly shaky voice.

“With the disciples here alone……. Why don’t we just abandon our base and join the disciples in Xian?”

“If the enemy had already surrounded Mount Hua, many disciples would have been hurt in the run.”

“….”

“You may be right. That may be the wiser choice. But! I can’t let go of a single disciple. They won’t harm any of Mount Hua’s disciples until they step on my corpse!”

“…I was foolish.”

Hyun Sang bowed his head. Hyun Jong’s eyes emitted a blue light.

“I’ll show them. The fact that Mount Hua will never give in to anyone again!”

Everyone’s face who heard it permeated with determination.

At that time.

“Is this Mount Hua?”

Quick Spear Life Reaper Son Wol looked up at the towering Mount Hua and smiled.

“It’s filthy high.”

“And it’s steep. It’s not the right place for Taoists to live.”

“Kekekek. It doesn’t matter, does it? After today, we won’t be able to find a Taoist in Mount Hua.”

Son Wol’s eyes went to Huayin City, a little off the road to Mount Hua.

“…I don’t think it’s bad for entertainment, either. Wouldn’t the Taoists be terrified if we climb Mount Hua with all their heads cut off?”
