Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 480

Whoosh!

A powerful snowstorm was raging.

Even when one opened their eyes on a dark night when even the view was obscured, they couldn’t see.

Seusut.

Even beasts will be afraid to travel in the harsh darkness.

A person dressed in a night suit darker than the night wandered the white wall of the North Sea Ice Clan like a ghost.

Tok.

He raised his arms and wrapped them around his body as if hugging himself, hiding in the corner of the massive fortress.

“Ughh…. I’m freezing!”

He had brought his dark night robes, but he hadn’t anticipated it being this cold.

Chung Myung’s teeth in the mask constantly clashed, making a crackling sound.

“What kind of wealth and glory will I enjoy… … .”

He was shivering even while wearing bear leather, but now he came out at night wearing thin robes, just how painful is that?

“Kii!”

“Shut up, you punk!”

Baek-ah, who was inside the thin robes, leaned his head under Chung Myung’s chin and shook his body as if he could not adapt to the cold.

“Kiik! Kiik!”

And he looked at Chung Myung with a resentful face as if asking why he dressed like this.

“Why are you being so fussy when you are supposed to live in a cold place?”

It wasn’t something a martial artist who was shivering in the cold would say, but Chung Myung was originally generous to himself and harsh to others.

Chung Myung pressed Baek-ah’s head inside and closed his robes again.

“Hngg. Let’s hurry up and go.”

Chung Myung moved his body with the determination to fill his robes with cotton once he went back.

Dadadat.

His feet smashed against the smooth exterior walls of the fortress. The walls were frozen and slippery, but it didn’t matter to Chung Myung, who has the quirks to climb Mount Hua’s sheer cliffs like a flat land…….

Chwaaak!

‘Uh… there’s a problem.’

A patrolman frowned and opened the window at the sound of his slipping feet.

Hwiing!

However, he hurriedly closed the window again in the blizzard that swept into it.

“What a blizzard…….”

The snowstorm hit the wooden window in succession. Clicking his tongue at the rattle, he slightly distorted his face.

“This winter feels especially colder.”

And continued patrolling without suspicion.

Meanwhile, Chung Myung, who glanced at the situation inside, clings to the wall and carefully climbs up the wall again.

“Ugh.”

Climbing up a fortress like this wasn’t really a problem but the damn blizzard hitting the back was the problem. It was like slapping by hand instead of snow.

” If I return to the North Sea after this, then I’m not human!”

Chung Myung climbed up to the highest point of the fortress after climbing the wall, moved to the side where there was an as little blizzard as possible, and then put his ear to the wall.

Then a voice came from the inside was heard.

‘Oh?’

Is it fortunately one shot?

He was thinking of going all the way down from the top, but the Clan Leader seemed to like high places. Fortunately for Chung Myung.

“Kiik…….”

“Shh.”

Chung Myung, who pushed Baek-ah’s head with his fingers, smiled and heightened his sense with energy as much as he could.

A clear voice began to be heard from the inside.

The number is two.

The voice was, as expected, owned by the Clan Leader.

“What about them?”

When asked by Seol Chonsang, the First Elder of the Ice Clan, Naeng Byogwi (냉벽위(冷壁衛)) immediately spoke.

“They’re stuck in one room.”

“Hmm.”

Seol Chonsang’s eyes darkened slightly.

“They’re funny. Especially Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”

Naeng Byogwi frowned at his generous assessment.

“Isn’t he too frivolous? How dare he be so arrogant in front of the Clan Leader. The young man seems to have gained fame and been blinded by it.”

There was anger in Naeng Byogwi’s voice, but Seol Chonsang just smiled lightly.

“Really?”

“…Do the Clan Leader have a different opinion?”

He said softly, sweeping down his chin.

“Self-indulgence without skill is arrogance, but self-indulgence accompanied by skills is confidence. He doesn’t look so arrogant to me.”

“…… but he’s just a rising star.”

“How can Namman Yasugungju introduce someone who is only at the level of an ordinary rising star?”

“That’s…….”

Naeng Byogwi failed to answer and blurred the end of his words.

Namman Yasugungju Maeng So.

Five Great Clan has never stopped exchanging with each other in order to fight against Jungwon and survive in their own barren environment. That’s why Seol Chonsang knew a lot about Maeng So.

“Maeng So is not a man to look down upon.”

Seol Chonsang said plainly.

The fact that Namman Yasugungju picked up that Mount Hua Divine Dragon and introduced him to the North Sea means that the young man is extraordinary.

It’s just…

‘A new era…..’

Seol Chonsang made a subtle expression.

“Talking about a dream-like story.”

Namman Yasugung Clan, who lives in the warm south, cannot understand the situation in the North Sea. Although they are inevitably cooperating under the name of the Five Great Clans, everything from the situation to culture was extremely different between Namman Yasugung Clan in Yunnan and the North Sea Ice Clan in the North Sea.

“It should be dealt with properly. Don’t create any trouble.”

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Meanwhile, Chung Myung, who was attached to the fortress’s outer wall, crumpled his face while pressing down on his trembling chin.

‘Don’t talk nonsense and say something helpful.’

In any case, they are geniuses at dragging their feet with useless stories.

Fortunately, before Chung Myung froze to death, Seol Chonsang brought up a tempting story.

“What about their movements?”

The air in the room changed drastically when the word “they” came out. Chung Myung, who is attached to the outer wall, can feel it clearly.

“They aren’t really moving either.”

“Hmm.”

“But….”

“But?”

Naeng Byogwu opened his mouth with a stiff face.

“I feel like they’ve been overly nervous lately. They used to be gloomy, but now they look like feral marten full of venom momentum.”

“Venom momentum.”

Seol Chonsang frowned.

“That devil thing…….”

Naeng Byogwi peeked at Seol Chonsang and opened his mouth.

“Clan Leader, I still don’t know if it was right to bring them in. They’re too dangerous.”

“That’s enough.”

“But…….”

“I said it’s enough.”

As Seol Chonsang exuded cold air in an instant, Naeng Byogwi hurriedly lowered his head.

“I was presumptuous.”

Although Naeng Byogwi apologized excessively, Seol Chonsang’s face did not loosen at all.

There are two kinds of work in the world.”

“…….”

“One stemmed from choice, and one is not.”

“… I’m sorry.”

Even in Naeng Byogwi’s opinion, that ‘work’ was not Seol Chonsang’s choice. It must have been unavoidable for him. It’s not his job as a subordinate to dig up those wounds… … .

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”

Then Seol Chonsang sighed and gently covered his face with his hands. His eyes, exposed between his white fingers, shone eerily like a ghost.

“Because it was entirely my choice.”

“…….”

Seol Chonsang’s mouth was twisted. The smile of a good man shown in front of Mount Hua’s disciples was nowhere to be found.

It was a twisted smile that would frighten the viewer.

“My brother was a great Leader.”

“…….”

“But that’s all. In this bloody cold land, a great leader can’t change anything. Sooner or later, the people of the North Sea will know that.”

“Of course, Clan Leader!”

Naeng Byogwi bellowed at the word and bowed.

Seol Chonsang, who was emitting cold energy, opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“I can do anything to do that. Even if it means holding hands with those who walk in Demon Path (마도(魔道)).”

Naeng Byogwi shivered at the cold voice of the Clan Leader.

“But, Clan Leader.”

“…….”

“Their brutality went too far. The people of the North Sea are refraining from going outside for fear of them, and mysterious disease is circulating in the village. If this continues, the public sentiment will be devastated.”

It’s been a long time since it happened, but Naeng Byogwi didn’t dare to report that to Seol Chonsang.

“…the thing about people disappearing?”

“Yes.”

Seol Chonsang distorted his face.

‘Damn bastards.’.’

He didn’t know exactly what they were up to. What they asked for in return for lending him power was land to settle in, and… … .

“Leave them alone for now.”

“But…….”

“We will pay attention. But we can get into trouble if we put pressure on them without solid evidence.”

“…….”

Although Naeng Byogwi showed slight signs of dissatisfaction, Seol Chonsang did not necessarily blame his rudeness.

“What happened to the Ice Crystals?”

“We are increasing our output as much as possible. But their demands are too much…….”

“Hmm.”

Seol Chonsang thought with his eyes down for a moment and then said firmly.

“Dig out more Ice Crystals even if we overdo it.”

“……Yes.”

In fact, there are many practical problems with doing that, but Naeng Byogwu could not deliver the words. Because Seol Chonsang does not order him without knowing that fact.

“…these bastards.”

Seol Chonsang’s eyes shone cold.

“There’s not much time left. On the day my martial arts is completed, not only those guys but also those high-nosed guys in Jungwon will kneel at my feet.”

“For that one day, I will wait again and again.”

“Hmph.”

Seol Chonsang sprang up from his seat.

“If the people from Jungwon start to poke their nose into the Ice Clan, there may be trouble, so first, draw their attention and make them unable to move recklessly.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Trivial…….”

Then, Seol Chonsang paused and turned his head to the side. Naeng Byogwi looked at him not knowing what had happened.

“… Clan Leader?”

At that moment, Seol Chonsang unleashed his energy toward the wall without delay.

Kwaang!

The wall was pierced as it was, and parts of the wall were shattered and thrown out.

“Cla- Clan Leader?”

A blizzard came in through a fist-sized hole in the wall. Seol Chonsang, who watched the scene for a moment with fierce eyes, shook his head lightly.

“I guess I was overreacting.”

“…….”

“Get your men to fix the wall.”

“Yes!”

He stared once more at the wall and walked out of the room with great strides.

Naeng Byogwi, which was left alone, sighed deeply and looked at the hole.

‘Clan Leader is getting sharper day by day.’

‘I understand, but…….’

“Huuuk.”

Even he sighed and left the room.

And…….

‘Wow, that’s a surprise.’

With his back stuck to the wall next to the hole, Chung Myung swept down his chest.

‘That guy’s sensitive.’

Chung Myung didn’t expect him to pick up his signs in the midst of the wind and blizzard.

This means that Seol Chonsang’s martial art is more than he expected.

“Oh! It’s cold!”

First of all, martial art or whatever, he’s going to freeze to death.

Chung Myung crawled through the wall and approached the hole. Closing his eyes and peering into the hole, he soon found documents lying on the desk.

“Hey, come out.”

“Kik?”

He grabbed Baek-ah and pulled him out. Baek-ah then used both his front feet, held onto Chung Myung’s robes, and resisted as if he never wanted to go out.

“……Oh, I may need a scarf because my throat is a bit cold these days.”

Baek-ah flinched as Chung Myung spouted the threat.

Then he eventually nodded with a determined face.

Baek-ah jumped out of Chung Myung’s hand and shot inside like a flash.

Tok.

Then in an instant, he took the document and handed them over to Chung Myung and quickly dug back into his clothes.

“Hmm.”

Chung Myung sneaked a smile after packing the documents well.

‘You have a very good relationship with Magyo, do you?’

He got quite a bit of information.

And one of the things that moved Chung Myung the most.

– If the people from Jungwon start poking into the Ice Clan, we might have trouble, so first, grab their attention and make sure they don’t move arbitrarily.

“Oh, you don’t want me to poke you?”

‘Keuh.’

If they tell him this again and again, he can’t help but get excited, right?

“Isn’t that right, Sahyung? Kekek.”

– Aren’t you cold?

“Wow! I’m freezing to death.”

Chung Myung’s body began to descend like a ghost.

Tat!

After a while, he got down on the ground and was about to turn around.

“What the hell is he?”

‘Huh? I got caught…!’

Kwang!
