Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 490

“Ouch… ….

“Ugh!”

Yosa Hon and the other prisoners groaned, unable to breathe in the midst of the killing intent.

Killing Intent.

It was a horrible atmosphere that demonstrated what it means to kill people simply by existing.

“Siju!”

“Chu- Chung Myung! Calm down!”

In fright, Baek Cheon approached and grabbed Chung Myung by the shoulders.

The trembling Chung Myung took a slow step forward. He then relaxed and tightened his lips.

“Gasp!”

Yosa Hon, who was instantly relieved of excessive pressure, coughed loudly.

Chung Myung would normally have apologized immediately for his error, but he couldn’t afford it right now.

“Second Coming? Of Heavenly Demon?”

“…Yes! Tha- That’s exactly what I heard.”

“… Crazy bastard…”

The things that didn’t fit him finally felt complete.

Why did they come all the way to the North Sea? And why, of all things, do they want Ice Crystals?

“There’s no way to know, but…….”

What if they’re plotting the revival of Heavenly Demon in some way and need a large amount of Ice Crystal to perform the ritual?

“… It’s clear that they didn’t choose the North Sea because it was out of Jungwon.”

From the beginning, their purpose was the North Sea, to be precise, the Ice Crystal.

Chung Myung’s heart began to cool down.

– Remember, Mount Hua’s Disciple. This is not the end. Demon (마(魔)) will be back again.

“Nonsense.”

Chung Myung gritted his teeth.

Is heavenly Demon resurrecting?

‘With whose permission?’

That would never have happened unless Chung Myung had his eyes open. Because they look the prettiest with their head cut off.

‘Damn it.’

Should it be called lucky or bad luck?

It was fortunate that they arrived in the North Sea at the same time when the remnants of Magyo plotted the resurrection of the Heavenly Demon. If they didn’t know at all and Heavenly Demon’s resurrection really happened, Mount Hua and the entire Jungwon would have turned into hell.

However, it was terrible that they could not get any help from other sects and Mount Hua.

They might have to fight those demonic cultists alone.

“Oh, I’m going crazy!”

Understanding the situation, Chung Myung grabbed his head and tousled his hair. The already shaggy hair was sprawled out.

“Chung Myung-ah. Are you all right?”

“Do I look okay?”

Chung Myung, who glanced and asked sharply, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Huup! Huup! Let’s calm down for now. Calm down.”

If a glimmer of hope in this hellish situation existed, it is that the Heavenly Demon has not yet resurrected.

“No, don’t those crazy people have a desire for power!? They should be eating and living well thinking it’s the right thing for the bastard who used to order people around with just a chin gesture to die quietly for them, right? What the hell are they to think about bringing that crazy guy back to life….?”

“…No. Can a person come back to life in the first place?”

Chung Myung shut up at Jo-Gol’s question.

‘No, that can’t be possible.’

But he couldn’t answer that. Because Chung Myung is the most obvious proof that it is possible.

‘Why would Heavenly Demon not be able to do it when I did it too?’

Actually, he has already thought about it a few times.

It’s just that he has been avoiding thinking it consciously, that maybe Heavenly Demon has already come back to life. Perhaps he’s back on his feet and now bidding for the right time.

Chung Myung can’t be the only one who can do it.

Whenever he thought about it, he got goosebumps all over his body and his mind darkened.

Somewhere in this vast world, that crazy guy might be alive. What a terrible idea that is!

“Is this good luck or bad luck… … .”

Anyway, given that they’re doing this crazy thing, it means the Heavenly Horse hasn’t been resurrected yet.

“Ugh!”

‘I’d rather die than suffer.’

“Here. Sit down here!”

When Chung Myung tapped on the ground, Mount Hua’s disciple sat down without saying a word for now.

Chung Myung opened his mouth with his face distorted.

“Well, let’s get this straight. So, these Magyo bastards are using Ice Crystals from the North Sea to do the crazy thing that resurrects the Heavenly Demons.”

“I think so.”

“And the Ice Clan is cooperating with them. … . No, are the Clan Leader really crazy asshole? Does he know what Heavenly Demon is and thus cooperate with them? I’ll cut off his head first when Heavenly Demon comes back to life!”

There are many different ways of suicide in the world. Of all those ways, he doesn’t have to choose such mythical suicide.

“Wouldn’t he plan to become a follower?”

“Sasuk is saying that because you don’t know the Heavenly Demon.”

“But what do you know?”

“…… there’s no way. I’m busy, so don’t ask me.”

First of all, the concept of submission hardly exists in Heavenly Demon.

What does that mean?

‘It’s a guy who didn’t even blink an eye seeing many Demonic Disciples die, there’s no way he will accept the Ice Clan.’

The faith of Demonic Disciples is a one-way faith.

Heavenly Demon is revered and revered, but Heavenly Demon does not care much about them.

Still, why would they follow Heavenly Demon?

“Because they are crazy.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“No.”

Chung Myung shook his head and sighed deeply.

“Huu, Then…… Anyway, that resurrection or something is not far off, and so they need more Ice Crystal, so they’ve been pushing these people like that, right?”

As Chung Myung turned his head, Yosa Hon nodded quickly.

“Indeed, the labor here was harsh, but they have almost urged people to die in recent years. It’s not just one or two people who have fallen ill and exhausted.”

“Ugh. This shouldn’t be right.”

All the clues came together and the question was being solved, but instead of being happy, he felt bloated.

“The key is Ice Crystals. But the Ice… … .”

Chung Myung glanced at his sleeve.

All the excessively dug-up Ice Crystals were inside his sleeve.

“… It’s all here.”

“….”

The Mount Hua disciples all flinched slightly.

… Shouldn’t we dig more?”

“There won’t be any Ice Crystal here for a while now.”

“… Why?”

“I dug it all. It doesn’t make much sense to dig until the yin is filled up for a while and a new Refined Mineral (정(精)) is made. Unless you plan to go all the way down to the very bottom.”

Baekcheon, who had been thinking for a moment, muttered with a shaky face.

“Then. That means… … .”

“Yes.”

Chung Myung nodded.

“The last key they need to revive Heavenly Demon is none other than in my hands.”

He’s already in their sight.

The sight of the Demonic Disciple running madly at him for the Ice Crystal.

Now that the name Heavenly Demon is intertwined, they will somehow be trying to kill Chung Myung without taking care of their own life.

“Kikikik.”

Chung Myung, who had been laughing as if he had lost his mind, suddenly slammed to the ground and screamed.

“The situation is so messed up, damn it!”

* * *

The Clan Leader Chamber of the Ice Clan.

“They dug up Ice Crystals? And in bulk?”

“Yes, Clan Leader-nim.”

Seol Chonsang’s face was distorted when he heard the report.

“You mean they dug up the amount of Ice Crystals that you couldn’t dig even after rushing the prisoners so much?”

“… They did.”

Seol Chonsang laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

“I heard that even slugs have a knack for rolling… … .”

He doesn’t know how on earth they did it, but anyway, it was unlikely that a false report was sent.

“Ice Crystal…”

He has already given the disciple of Mount Hua permission to purchase the Ice Crystals they have dug. In the end, it meant that all the Ice Crystals that they dug a lot belonged to Mount Hua Sect.

“It’s not even funny.”

Contrary to his words, Seol Cheonsang just murmured and laughed. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it was.

“…What do we should do, Clan Leader-nim?”

The First Elder, who was sitting with Seol Chonsang, hinted.

“If ‘they’ knew this, they would never stand still.”

Seol Chonsang’s face was horribly distorted. His eyes glared at the First Elder with anger.

“Then do you mean we should be afraid of them?”

“I- I didn’t mean it that way.”

The First Elder quickly lowered his eyes and denied it. Seol Chonsang looked out the window with slightly irritated eyes.

‘Things are messed up.’

He just authorized them to spend time in the mine, but he didn’t think they’d really dig it up.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Seol Chonsang, who was lost in thought for a while, soon smiled and said.

“I’ll have to appease them moderately and ask them to give us the Ice Crystals. Telling them to give us every piece that we found ourselves.”

“…what if they don’t listen to us?”

“Don’t listen?”

The corners of his mouth twisted.

“Then there’s only one way.”

A cold voice slowly leaked out and rang in the Hall.

“I have no choice but to take it away by force.”

“Are you going to kill them?”

“Tsk. Did you listen to me properly? They can’t die here.”

“Then how…….”

“Killing and stealing is different from just stealing. If we kill them, the sects in Jungwon will protest, but how can they question us for taking something who is supposed to belong to us in the first place?”

“I heard it well, yes. In fact, it’s an item from the Ice Clan in the first place.”

“Right, so what gonna happen is…..”

But Seol Chonsang, who was speaking, hardened his face and blurred the end of his word.

“No….”

“…Yes?”

“No, no. We never know. They might grab the Ice Crystals and run away.”

At the word, the First Elder tilted his head.

“Is there any reason for that?”

“That’s stupid. Ice Crystals have high worth. Even at half the price, would they have the money to buy so many Ice Crystals? Even if they had, they wouldn’t have brought it all the way here.”

“Ah….”

Seol Chonsang’s face turned slightly pale.

“If they run away…….”

Cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

If such a thing happened, it was clear that the wrath of the ‘Bishop’ would be poured out on him. Unbearable wrath.

“Send Ice Sword Squad to catch them.”

“There are plenty of warriors there, too.”

“Don’t look down on them. If the title “the strongest rising stars in Jungwon” is not false, they will not be so easy.”

His voice was more determined than ever.

“There must not be a single mistake. Not even one in a thousand, not even one in ten thousand!”

The First Elder quickly bowed his head.

“Yes! I’ll order them to do so.”

“If the opposition is severe, you can kill them.”

“….”

“Move! Hurry!”

“Yes!”

The First Elder moved at a rapid pace.

“Follow me.”

“Yes!”

The man who came to report on his order followed.

The First Elder, who left the Hall, peeked into Seol Chonsang’s face before closing the door.

‘He’s scared.’

He pretended to be logical and bold, but in the end, he abandoned all the principles he had kept so far for fear that the Bishop’s anger would fall on him.

‘Clan Leader, that’s why I can’t trust you alone.’

The Elder closed the door and moved without delay toward the stairs.

The two quickly descended the stairs of the spire.

“I’m sure you’ve heard it all.”

“Yes, Elder.”

“Immediately go to the Ice Sword Squad and deliver the Clan Leader’s command.”

“… May I?”

In response to the cautious question, the First Elder pulled out something that proved his position as an elder from his sleeves and handed it to him.

“It won’t be a problem if you show them this.”

“Understood! And the Elder……?”

“I have something to look out for. Do not delay, move!”

“Yes!”

The man bowed his head deeply and went down the stairs ahead. And the Elder, who saw his back, slowly stopped walking and twisted the corners of his mouth.

‘I got some good information.’

This is very good information.

They’ll be more than happy to hear it.

The First Elder, who had been following the man’s footsteps, changed direction at some point. The place where he headed was outside, not inside the Ice Clan.

Swoosh.

In an instant, he left the fortress and began to run away covertly and quickly. He jumped over the wall like a swallow and raced through the snowy field.

An unfamiliar voice leaked out of his mouth.

“The Second Coming of Heavenly Demon.”

The final piece that will mark the end of the long wait is now in place.
