Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 500

“Clan Leader-nim!”

Seol Chonsang raised his head with a displeased face at the sudden urgent voice.

Soon, the office door swung open and an Elder rushed in.

“What’s going on?”

Asked him in a cold voice.

Normally, he would not have greeted the Elder with such a sharp tone. Whatever he thought inside, the Elders who were left in the Ice Clan are the ones he had to take sides with.

However, since he found out that the Ice Clan’s information was leaking to Magyo, his words didn’t come out well.

“I- It is a big deal.”

“Don’t make a fuss and talk. What’s the matter?”

The Elder shouted with a red face.

“Wa- Warriors are attacking the Ice Clan Fortress.”

“… What?”

Seol Chonsang frowned.

It was surprising news, but Seol Chonsang kept his composure in his own way. But the following words were enough to blow his composure at once.

“I- It seems that those who followed the former Clan Leader are gathering forces and marching here…”

“What!”

Kwaaang!

Seol Chonsang sprang up as he punched the desk. The marble desk was shattered and stones were scattered all over the place.

He grinded his teeth with a horribly contorted face.

“How dare they…….”

He knew the remnants he couldn’t clean up were still hidden throughout the North Sea.

The reason why they were not caught and dealt with was not that Seol Chonsang was merciful. It was simply because they could not thoroughly search the vast North Sea.

Moreover, since the central point had disappeared anyway, it was judged that there was little possibility that a scattered mob would rally again unless Seol So-baek came forward himself.

“How did they get back together?”

“I- It seems that the former Elders who escaped from the mine gathered the remnants and the son of the former Clan Leader.”

The moment he heard about the Elder and the son of the former Clan Leader, anger boiled over Seol Chonsang’s face.

“Who’s leading them?”

“Elder acting at the forefront… N- No, it was Yosa Hon.”

“I pity them for living as if they were dead, and kept them alive but how dare they invade the North Sea Ice Clan? Those senseless fools!”

Seol Chonsang roared.

“Get ready to face the enemy right now! Now!”

“Yes, Clan Leader-nim!”

“Return all those who have gone on the search and close the gates!”

“Yes!”

“Move right now!”

The Elder could not even dare to respond to the harsh rant and rushed out.

Seol Chonsang, who was left alone in his office, could not overcome his wrath and breathe heavily.

‘The mines, and now even Seol So-baek?’

It had just happened that those who had gone missing while on a search had returned and reported that the disciples of Mount Hua had hindered their chance of catching the son of the former Clan Leader.

“What the hell are they…….”

Seol So-baek and Yosa Hon.

Mount Hua’s disciples have stepped in between the two that should never be connected. It was so absurd that it was hard to believe. What the hell have they done in this short period of time that makes this nonsense happen one after another?

“……No. This was better.”

Seol Chonsang began to move his steps in stride.

Isn’t he going to take care of all those Mount Hua disciples anyway?

“I will take this opportunity to kill Seol So-baek, the remnants of the past, and all Mount Hua’s disciples!”

Seol Chonsang’s eyes gushed with killing intent.

* * *

A huge group of warriors raced through the snowy field with fierce momentum.

As the procession continued, the crowd grew larger and larger. The number was increasing as those who came late joined.

“It’s amazing.”

“Amitabha, this momentum is encouraging people even more.”

Mount Hua’s disciples looked with astonishment at those who were running ahead.

When the groups first started out, they thought the morale was very high, but as time passed, instead of falling, it was rising more and more.

“But it’s understandable. Supporters continue to join us.”

“That’s right.”

The procession, which started with two hundred at first, increased to four hundred as those who escaped from the mine joined, and the total number of those who came along the way reached five hundred.

Even the disciples of Mount Hua watching from the third party’s perspective have the hope that “It may now work out somehow,” so how great would the group’s feeling be?

“There were so many of them, so why did they live so oppressed all this time?”

Back Cheon answered Jo-Gol’s question in a low voice.

“No matter how much firewood there is, if you don’t light it, it’s just a pile of firewood.”

“… Are you saying the fire is lit up now?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s definitely a little different from Jungwon. No matter how much he is the son of the former Clan Leader, i didn’t expect everyone to come here just by hearing the news that Young Master Seol is alive.”

“I don’t think so.”

“…Yes?”

Baek Cheon didn’t answer but just looked forward with a bitter expression.

He might have thought like Jo-Gol if it had been him in the past. However, the longer he spent with the negative and pessimistic guy, the more he stopped believing only what he saw.

Even before, Seol So-baek was alive.

Still, it is simple why Han Yi-myung has been waiting for the moment without informing them.

This is because it was impossible to face the Ice Clan only with those who supported Seol So-baek gathered together.

“Without those who escaped from the Ice Crystal mine, no matter how much news about Seol So-baek spread, people would not have gathered. I’m sure it’s worth a try because they’re here.”

“It certainly is.”

Baek Cheon glanced back with a strange look.

‘If you think about it, it’s because of him again…….’

This situation would not have come unless Chung Myung turned the mine upside down. Even if they could escape, if Chung Myung couldn’t lift their restriction, it would just end there.

At this point, it feels scary.

Who would have imagined that a person could do this much work in a remote country with no acquaintances?

‘What a great guy he is….’

“The hell you looking at?”

“……”

Baek Cheon shook his head and looked forward.

‘In many ways.’

Tens of thousands of thoughts came to mind, but Baek Cheon had to put it all off.

This is because the white wall, which is now quite familiar, has finally appeared.

“Sasuk!”

“Yeah.”

Baek Cheon chewed out.

“It’s the Ice Clan Fortress.”

The feeling was clearly different from when they first faced this wall.

At first, they simply admired the magnificence of that pure white fortress wall.

But now that majesty has felt absolutely daunting.

The thick gates and the walls so high that it was difficult to see the end even after bending their necks to the fullest made them realize once again that what they had to deal with was the North Sea Ice Palace, which completely dominated the North Sea.

“Sasuk.”

“…Yes.”

It seemed that they weren’t the only ones feeling intimidated by that wall.

It was clear that the momentum that was soaring and reaching the sky has slowed down in the face of the wall.

No one even ordered it, but the running speed gradually decreased.

Before long, when they reached the fortress wall, everyone’s footsteps naturally stopped.

Gulp.

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva resounded loudly. Even the blizzard, which was quite hard felt quiet and the small sound spread far and wide, awakening everyone’s tension.

“Ice Clan …….”

“It’s the Ice Clan.”

“…….”

Baek Cheon was a little perplexed. The momentum that had risen up until now seemed like a lie.

‘As a North Sea people, is it more burdensome than we think to deal with the Ice Clan?”

It was hard to tell whether it was because of their loyalty to the Ice Clan or because they knew the opponent’s power better than anyone else.

It was when they all couldn’t come forward and only looked at each other.

“What are you doing?”

“…….”

Baek Cheon turned his head with a dismayed look.

The most tactless man in the world was trudging out. He had a face that didn’t understand why they were just standing in front of him.

Baek Cheon said in a slightly subdued voice.

“…I feel like we have arrived at the Ice Clan.”

“Then we should go faster, aren’t we attacking?”

“First of all…”

Baek Cheon couldn’t finish his answer to Chung Myung’s question. There’s no way he could straight out an answer that these people all seem frightened now right in front of them.

“What? Are you trying to decide who’s going to be in the lead? Do you want to be at the forefront?”

“…….”

Chung Myung grinned and trudged forward.

Where he stopped surprisingly in front of Seol So-baek.

Seol So-baek, apparently nervous, looked up at Chung Myung with a pale face.

Chung Myung said with a smile.

“Why do you look like that?”

“…Yes?”

“Tsk tsk. It’s not a good thing that a child is quick-witted. A child must be a child.”

Chung Myung placed his hand on the child’s head and ruffled his hair roughly.

“I told you, didn’t I? You don’t have to do anything.”

“… Ta- Taoist-nim.”

“Anyway you’re too grown up for your age.”

Chung Myung grinned and pulled his hand off Seol So-baek’s head.

“You did a good job just coming this far. So straighten your shoulders. Straighten your face. Adults will take care of it from now on.”

At the back, Jo-Gol murmured a different word.

“You also haven’t grown yet.”

“Gol-ah, shut up.”

“Yes.”

When Yoon Jong whispered and glared, Jo-Gol shrank his neck.

Chung Myung looked quietly at the walls of the Ice Clan and drew the Dark Plum Blossom Sword.

“Sasuk.”

“Yeah.”

“Get ready. Let’s go.”

“Alright!”

Baek Cheon stood next to Chung Myung without arguing over his word (Since that word should be Baek Cheon to say). Yoo Iseol stood next to Baek Cheon and opposite Chung Myung, followed quickly by Tang So-so.

“Um. These days, I feel like I’m at the forefront every time.”

“Whatever. I’m used to it and I like it.”

Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong will support Chung Myung.

“Amitabha.”

Hye Yeon stood behind Yoon Jong with a firm expression.

Looking at Mount Hua’s disciples assuming a formation, Yosa Hon asked puzzledly.

“Wha- What are you trying to do?”

“Haha. This old man is saying something very funny. What will we do when we have come all the way here? We should just rush in.”

Yosa Hon clenched his mouth at Chung Myung’s nonchalant remarks.

This is what he was supposed to do.

“Just for a moment……… The initiative….”

“Old man.”

Chung Myung grinned at Yosa Hon.

“A war will end if you dilly-dally and hesitate. As time goes by, the fear gets bigger. And once the fire is extinguished, you can’t save it at all costs.”

“…….”

But Yosa Hon’s face was still full of worries.

“Don’t worry.”

Chung Myung rolled up the corners of his mouth.

“Because I will set the greatest fire.”

Baek Cheon, who was listening next to him, quietly shook his head.

“Arsonist is better suited for you rather than Taoist.”

“Dong Ryong, please be quiet.”

Yosa Hon looked blankly at Chung Myung.

‘Is this guy really not scared?’

They are in a situation where they have to deal with the Ice Clan with insufficient troops. No matter how little they know about the Ice Clan, they can’t be so fearless.

Moreover, not only Chung Myung, but none of the group seemed frightened.

‘What the hell is this Mount Hua Sect…….’

Then Chung Myung said firmly.

“Anyway, if you can’t go because you’re scared, stay here like this. We will figure it out.”

“What!”

“You cheeky!”

A fierce roar erupted from all sides.

The mine prisoners, who were indebted to the disciples of Mount Hua, could not help it, but those who did not know Chung Myung and Mount Hua Sect seemed to have been greatly hurt by their pride.

“What? Did I say something wrong?”

“This……!”

Chung Myung smiled at those who were angry.

“People in the North Sea say that they don’t care about water or fire because of their harsh temper, but now that I look at them, they seem to be quite docile. Can’t fight the Ice Clan because of scared, I guess they were that easy, huh?”

Udeudeuk.

The sound of clenching teeth and clenching fists resounded everywhere.

“We are…!”

“Ah, that’s enough.”

Someone tried to shout something, but Chung Myung cut off with a firm hand.

“There’s no point in saying this or that. Prove it if you’re not a coward. We’ll start first.”

Chung Myung turned around.

“Sasuk!”

“Yeah!”

Chaeng!

Baek Cheon pulled up his sword without hesitation. The rest of Mount Hua’s disciples also drew their swords.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes!”

As Baek Cheon started running in the lead, Mount Hua’s disciples and Hye Yeon followed without looking back.

The rest of them opened their mouths as they saw them rushing towards the white wall like a black meteor.

“Thi- This……!”

“Such thing!”

Warriors of the North Sea looked at the scene with a bewildered face.

It was then.

“What are you doing!”

Yosa Hon roared loudly.

“This is our fight! Will you let the outsiders who have nothing to do with the North Sea will be the first to cross the walls of the North Sea Ice Clan?”

Their eyes blazed as if fear had passed.

“People from the North Sea will not be put to shame even if they die! Let’s go!”

Warriors of the North Sea, who colored their faces with anger, burst out in unison.

As Yosa Hon started running in the lead, the people who had stopped rushed toward the wall with great spirit.

“Don’t fall behind!”

“Catch up!”

“We’ll cross the wall first!”

There was no hesitation or fear left. Everyone ran along with the momentum without looking back.

Right now.

The prelude to a war that staked the fate of the North Sea had begun.
