Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 451

“Ooh! This is……?”

Hyun Jong’s eyes shook.

“… … Are you saying that this is a Tang Family Hancheol Sword?”

“Yes.”

The answer was straightforward, but it was not without significance.

“………………”

Hyun Jong gently wiped the wooden box with his hand.

“The box is extraordinary, perhaps because it’s made by the Tang Family.”

Baek Chun smiled and turned to face Hyun Jong. In fact, the wooden box containing a single Hanceol Sword is not a particularly interesting object. However, Hyun Jong’s delusion was not amusing because Baek Chun could see how happy he is now.

“Open it up, Sect Leader.”

“Yes, I should.”

Hyun Jong nodded and opened the chest slowly.

Creak.

“Ooh.”

The sight of the Hancheol Sword, which was finally revealed, filled Hyun Jong with zeal.

He couldn’t move his gaze away from the sword engraved with plum blossoms.

He could tell how much effort was put into this sword just by looking at the scabbard, which was a subtle dark color. The engraving of plum blossoms on the bottom of the scabbard and handle made Hyun Jong even happier.

‘It’s literally a Plum Blossom Sword.’

The tip of his nose became cold for no reason.

‘How happy would the predecessor be if they see this?’

It seems like yesterday that he couldn’t give the children a proper sword, but Hancheol Sword…

It would be just a great sword in the eyes of others, but the meaning of this sword was not so simple for Hyun Jong.

“How wonderful.”

Hyun Jong smiled softly and reached for the sword.

But.

Grab!

Before his hand could even touch the scabbard, someone snatched it away with a lightning bolt movement.

“…….”

When he raised his head in bewilderment, he was staring at Hyun Sang holding the sword.

“That….”

‘……you punk.’

‘Even though I am the Sect Leader before I can even see it…’

But he couldn’t bring himself to say that. In Hyun Sang’s eyes, there was a madness that had never been seen before.

“… Hancheol Sword.”

“…….”

Seureurung.

Hyun Sang slowly drew the sword. There was a subtle blue color in the sword’s blade thats whiter than ordinary swords.

“Ah…….”

At last, an exclamation flowed out of Hyun Sang’s mouth.

Anyone who had wielded a sword all their lives would have no choice but to notice how great this sword was just by looking at it.

Hyun Sang quietly reached out and touched the sword surface engraved with plum blossoms. He just touched it slightly, but the cool chill penetrated his fingertips.

The sword cried with a clear sound as he flicked the sword lightly with his fingertips.

“This is great. What a great sword!”

Hyun Sang repeatedly exclaimed and turn the sword around.

‘Is it that good?’

Unlike Hyun Young, who opens his mouth wide whenever things happen, Hyun Sang was a person who always kept his composure as much as possible. Seeing him happy like a child, Hyun Jong’s mouth was filled with smiles.

“That’s great…….”

“Let’s see!”

Hyun Sang lightly swung the sword.

Then, deep blue sword energy spewed out from the edge of the sword… … .

Sword energy?

“Argh!”

“Hiiik!”

Back Chun and the group both rolled to the ground and flew away at the sudden outburst of sword energy.

Sogok!

The sword energy soon flew out, leaving a long trail on the wall.

“……Huh?”

Hyun Sang’s eyes shook greatly. At the same time, Hyun Jong jumped out of his seat and kicked his butt.

“You crazy bastard!”

Bam!

Hyun Sang, who had his butt kicked, rolled on the ground.

“Unfolding sword energy in a room! Are you out of your mind!”

Hyun Jong glared his eyes and pointed at him.

Hyun Sang looked down at the Hancheol Sword, smiling as if he was more bewildered.

“N- No. No, it’s not like that, Sect Leader……. I really didn’t put much effort into it! I just gave it a little energy…….”

At that moment.

Kureung. Kureueung.

The wall that had been cut by the sword energy of Hyun Sang collapsed in an instant. It was not long before one side of the room was wide open.

“…….”

Hyun Jong slowly raised his gaze as he looked at the wall that had collapsed without any effort. Tear welled up in the corners of his eyes.

‘This guy and that guy…..’

The disciples are making a fuss, and the Elder is making trouble.

‘Aigoo, my fate…..’

Hyun Sang murmured in a bewildered voice.

“N- No, this can’t be happening.”

And the words added fuel to Hyun Jong.

“An Elder’s eyes blinded by a sword, causing an accident that kids won’t even make!”

“Tha- That’s not it, Sahyung! Sword…… This sword is strange. It shouldn’t be this sharp!”

Seeing Hyun Sang still admire the sword even in the midst of this made Hyun Jong’s inside become rotten.

“Give it to me!”

Hyun Jong stole the sword from Hyun Sang. And he carefully breathed infused energy into Hancheol Sword.

Seusut.

He only pushed in a little bit of energy, but the sword grew from the edge of the sword as if it were growing. It was as if the sword was emitting sword energy on its own.

“…I can’t believe it.”

Hyun Jong eventually lost his words and opened his mouth.

“……that’s why it’s a great sword, a great sword.”

To be honest, he thought that it would be just a little harder and a little sharper when they called it a great sword, but this was completely different.

It was the moment when he understood why the well-known swordsman in Jungwon put down their face and hung themselves for an excellent sword.

“They say that a master of calligraphy does not need a good brush.”

“That’s a load of crap. The better a calligrapher is, the better a brush he will use.”

“Huh?”

Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung at the sudden interruption of his voice.

Chung Myung said with a smile on his face.

“Because he would earn a lot of money if he was a master of calligraphy.”

“…….”

“I’m sure they’ll use a good brush.”

‘Ah…….’

‘Yes, indeed.’

Chung Myung shrugs his shoulders.

“The same goes for martial masters. There is no poor martial master, it’s just bluffing from rich people that a master doesn’t prefer an excellent sword. Even without a weapon like this, I’m stronger than you guys, right?”

“…….”

Baek Chun, staring blankly at the collapsed wall, asked Chung Myung.

“I’ve heard that before, but isn’t that an exaggeration? As far as I know, Plum Blossom Sword Saint once said that he had defeated a crowd of Magyo with nothing but a single leaf…..”

“What kind of lunatic would spread such a rumor? Did they exchange the Plum Sword for a sermon? Why do you use grass instead of a normal Plum Blossom Sword? Who the hell is talking nonsense like that?”

Then Baek Chun’s head slowly turned to one side instead of answering.

When Chung Myung followed his gaze, there was Hyun Sang, who stood with a bitter face.

“…I’m sorry.”

“Oh, it was the Elder? I didn’t know that. Hehe.”

Hyun Sang, who was just telling the story that had been passed down from his Senior, quickly became a madman who spread false rumors and avoided gaze with a bit of sadness.

Chung Myung coughed low.

“Hum, anyway, you must use a good sword!”

Hyun Jong nodded quietly.

In fact, when Chung Myung said he was going to dig up the safe left by the ancestors and make a sword out of it, he was not very pleased, but now he could clearly understand why Chung Myung was so adamant when he looked at the Hancheol Sword.

This sword could enhance the abilities of Mount Hua’s disciples. And the chances of falling into danger will be reduced.

Hyun Jong, who looked at Chung Myung with gentle eyes, nodded quietly.

“I think…….”

Bang!

At that moment, a loud roar came out of the door.

“…….”

And Hyun Young rushed through the half-broken open door.

“Damn it! What a long meeting! Why are they so clingy!”

“…….”

Hyun Young, who grumbled fiercely, quickly found Chung Myung and smiled brightly.

“Chung Myung is here!”

“Yes, Elder!”

“Right! Right, it is you! This time, what else……. this is?”

Hyun Young rushed at Hyun Jong and stared at the sword he was holding.

“……Yes.”

Fortunate that he didn’t take it away like Hyun Sang, Hyun Jong gave the sword to Hyun Young.

“Ooh, this color……. Besides, the plum blossom pattern is engraved on the sword body. Hoho. Indeed, it is a sword worthy of the name Plum Blossom Sword.”

Moreover, even the weight and balance felt in the hand, it was clearly made for Mount Hua’s swordsmanship.

“Be careful with your energy. Your Sahyung has already destroyed the wall.”

“Wall? What are you saying? What’s wrong with the wall?”

Hyun Young looked at the wall and freaked out. Then he turned his head and stared at Hyun Sang with a scary face.

Hyun Sang flinched and sneaked away from his gaze. Unsurprisingly, Hyun Young poured out harsh words.

“A yangban who can’t even earn a penny!”

“…I’m sorry.”

“The young disciples go all the way to Sichuan and make money! But the Elder!”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. Hngg!”

Hyun Young clicked his tongue with a dissatisfied face and said to Hyun Jong.

“Sect Leader. The children came back after doing a great job.”

“Yes, indeed.”

“Chung Myung-ah.”

“Yes.”

“Did you bring enough sword?”

“Yes, I’ve got enough to use. But it’s kind of vague to say that there’s enough. I was a little short of the Everlasting Iron.”

“Great job!”

Hyun Young nods his head with satisfaction.

Hyun Jong also smiled delightedly at the scene. It’s heartwarming to see everything going so well like this…….

“That’s why I told you to let them take the Everlasting Iron with them more peacefully. Why make us suffer for so long!”

“…….”

“What are you going to do by leaving it behind and taking it to the grave? People should know how to get rid of their greed! Hng!”

“…….”

“Didn’t I say that if we leave it to him, he will take care of it well! Have you ever seen Chung Myung do things wrong?”

Hyun Jong turned his head and looked out the window… No, he looked up at the sky from the open wall.

‘This guy and that guy…..’

He really hoped they would just be gone.

However, whether Hyun Jong’s insides rotting or not, Hyun Sang and Hyun Young were busy with joy and happiness.

“Yes, yes. They’ve been through a lot! Hahahaha! He has made a much better sword than I thought.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. How hard the way back must have been for his face to become half of his original like this?” (Means he thinned down/been struggling a lot)

Baek Chun’s lips twitched when he heard that all of them were like that.

‘Half? Half?’

He’d be as round as the moon if that face is doubled, though?

He has been lying on his back the whole time and sleeping…..

At that time, Hyun Young, who was stroking Chung Myung’s head roughly, flinched when he saw the white marten gently raising his head under Chung Myung’s collar.

“Wha- What the hell is this?”

“Oh, this one? Yasugungju-nim gave it to me as a gift.”

“……the color of the fur is extraordinary…… It looks expensive.”

“Right?”

Whether it saw the obvious greed in Hyun Young’s eyes or not, Baek-ah showed his teeth and threatened aggressively.

Shaaaaah!

“How rude!”

Ttaakk!

However, he became depressed after being punished by Chung Myung in an instant. Then he tucked his head back into Chung Myung’s collar.

Chung Myung shrugged.

“He’s still naughty.”

“I see. Unlike the owner.”

‘No, Elder.’

‘They’re really similar. I’m telling you…’

Hyun Young’s gaze slipped down.

“Hmm? What about this?”

“Oh.”

Chung Myung nodded and drew the Dark Fragrant Plum Blossom Sword around his waist and stretched it forward.

“It was a gift from a craftsman in the Tang Family.”

“…….”

Hyun Jong and the Elders lost their words and looked at the sword.

“……this.”

In particular, Hyun Sang was speechless and swallowed dry saliva.

‘This is a different class.’

The Hancheol Sword made by the Tang Family would not be short to be called a famous sword at all, but the spirit of that sword was not comparable to that of an ordinary Hancheol Sword.

“May I see it for a moment?”

“Yes.”

Chung Myung handed over the Dark Fragrant Plum Blossom Sword to Hyun Sang.

Hyun Sang, who received the sword, looked down for a moment and carefully drew it with trembling hands.

“Gasp!”

At the blade that finally appeared, he swallowed his breath.

“This… … This sword… … .”

His voice sounded as if he had lost his mind.

Hyun Young, who was next to him, also couldn’t contain his surprise and asked Chung Myung blankly.

“Did they just give you a sword like this?”

“Yes, they said that it’s a gift to Mount Hua.”

“……a gift to Mount Hua.”

Hyun Jong briefly repeated Chung Myung’s words and nodded quietly.

“It’s really something to be grateful for. Indeed.”

“Do you want to use it?”

“No.”

At Chung Myung’s question, Hyun Jong shook his head in a flat refusal.

“They gave it to Mount Hua as a gift, but it’s a sword they made for you to use.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Then it is right for you to use it. For a gift, the heart of the recipient is important, but the will of the giver is also important.”

Chung Myung nodded.

“Yes.”

However, Hyun Sang could not easily return the sword to Chung Myung even though the decision was made.

“Just once…….”

Then Hyun Young lit up his eyes.

“Give it to him! You old moron!”

“Y- You! Don’t you know how important a sword is to a swordsman!”

“A horseshoe on a dog’s paw! Horseshoes on dog paws!”

Hyun Young shouted and took the Dark Plum Blossom Sword from Hyun Sang’s hand and returned it to Chung Myung.

“Use it well.”

“Yes.”

Chung Myung grinned and tied the sheath back to his waist. Hyun Sang smacked his lips over and over again.

“Then I’ll borrow it just once later…”

“Shut up your mouth! Mouth!”

“…….”

Hyun Young shook his head and looked at Chung Myung. As always, his eyes were as gentle as if the commotion before was a lie.

“Right, you’ve been through a lot. Then, did anything else happen?”

“Ah, first of all, I’ve solved the problem in Yuryong Sect well. Now that we’ve informed Eunha Merchant Guild, we’ll be able to start the business soon.”

“That’s good news.”

“And, uh…….”

Chung Myung thought for a moment and opened his mouth.

“I made an alliance with Sichuan Tang Family and Namman Yasugung Clan.”

“An alliance?”

“Yes, we named it Chunwomaeng. For now, there are only three sects, but we will get more sects later on.”

Hyun Jong slightly frowned at the sudden news.

“Since you did it anyway, you must have your own thought, but I think it’s too hasty a decision. We’ll have to coordinate a lot of big and small things.”

“Yes, Sect Leader can coordinate that. Because Sect Leader is the head of the Alliance.”

“Huh? Who?”

“Sect Leader.”

“… I’m what?”

“Maeng-ju.” (The head of the alliance.)

“…….”

Hyun Jong’s eyes trembled as he stared at Chung Myung.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“…Why me?”

Unfortunately… There was no one to answer the question.

Unfortunately, that is.
