Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 540

“Ughh! Why isn’t he coming out? Damn it!”

Baek Cheon did his best, grabbing Chung Myung’s arm and pulling him.

“This can’t be… Darn it, Gol! Try pulling harder!”

“But Sasuk, I broke my arm.”

“Is there anyone who’s all right? Anyone?”

As Baek Cheon glared with bloodshot eyes, Jo-Gol looked up into the distant sky.

‘I thought he was Chung Myung for a second.’

‘Sasuk. Don’t go too far. I get scared once in a while.’

“Eeeuuuchha!”

Ppok!

Chung Myung’s body was eventually extracted from the rubble.

Kudadang!

Back Cheon, unable to overcome the recoil, collapsed to the ground and groaned.

“No, how the hell did you get in there… What, what is this, you bastard?”

Unconsciously, Baek Cheon shouted when he saw a large bundle being pulled out with Chung Myung.

‘It was so hard to pull him up since he’s holding something like that!’

“What are you saying?”

Chung Myung laughed as he brushed aside Baek Cheon, who was about to grab the back of his neck. Chung Myung then unwrapped the bundle.

“Those punks got a lot of good stuff. If I leave it as it is, it will get crushed by the mountain and disappear. I brought it for good use. Keueuhhh, such a wise move.”

Baek Cheon stared blankly at such Chung Myung.

‘No, you’re saying you brought all this while the cave was collapsing?’

‘What’s this bastard really got in his head?’

In fact, the bundle was packed in old, bloody clothes. There was a lot of stuff inside.

“What is all this… Huh?”

Baek Cheon, who checked the item, freaked out and screamed.

“My god, this is Ice Crystal, isn’t it? How many are there?”

“Kikikikik.”

With a sly laugh, Chung Myung stretched out his belly. Every time he moved, there was a bone crackling sound.

“I’ve collected them well, and there won’t be Ice Crystals in the North Sea for a while now, so we’ll take care of them all.”

“Wha- What is this bottle of liquor?”

“It smells like Gongchong Elixir.”

“Go- Gongchong… Gongchong Elixir?”

Baek Cheon’s mouth opened wide.

‘Is such a thing really there?’

He has heard of it. Gongchong Elixir. (공청석유(空淸石乳). /Clear Sky Rock Milk. Milk refers to its appearance.)

Herbs such as Snow Ginseng (설삼(雪蔘)) and Human-Shaped Ginseng (인형하수오(人形何首烏)), which have not been discovered in human hands, will end their lives someday.

However, the energy within the herbs is so strong, it melts and flows without rotting.

If it was grown in a forest full of soil, the elixir would be absorbed through the ground and returned to nature, but elixir grown in rocky places sometimes amass and mature in special terrain.

In this way, the essence of the elixir absorbs more of the energy of nature, and the liquid produced by aging for hundreds of years is Gongqing Petroleum.

Elixir among elixirs, said to slap most elixirs on the cheek with just one drop.

“It’s all Gongchong Elixir? All of this?”

‘No… Those madmen of the Demonic Cult?’

Gongchong Elixir is the elixir of Heaven and Earth, which is said to bring about the blood of river even if one drop is known to the world. Its value was no match for any gold or jewelry.

They had that elixir the size of a liquor bottle, but they’ve been stuck in this remote area and eaten dirt?

“They must have been gathering this to feed it to the Heavenly Demon when he is resurrected. Originally, a guy like the Heavenly Demon wouldn’t need an elixir, but what do they know?”

‘No, how do you know that?’

Baek Cheon looked at Chung Myung with disbelief. His mind was about to explode with confusion.

However, before he had time to think about it, things he had never seen before appeared in the bundle. The Bishop who collected these things and Chung Myung who brought them all were thrifty.

“Oh, my God…”

Actually, when you think about it, it’s not even strange.

Even though it hasn’t been long since they established themselves in the North Sea, according to the Bishop, they have been plotting the revival of Heavenly Demon ever since he died.

It can be said that it is a small amount considering that those who have the power to slap the cheek of reputable sects have accumulated wealth for a long time.

“I thought we were going through a lot of trouble for nothing, but we got something worthwhile at the last minute.”

Chung Myung tied the bundle back and put it around his shoulder.

It was then.

“Chung Myung Dojang-nim! Dojang-nim!”

Seol So-baek scrambled up a mountain of cave debris and rushed up to Chung Myung.

“Oh, you’re alive…”

And he rushed to Chung Myung without hesitation and hugged him tightly in the waist.

“Aaaaaagh! You little punk! There is a wound there! My wound! Aaaagh!”

Chung Myung kicked Seol So-baek without a moment of hesitation.

“Euaak!”

Seol So-baek rolled down the mountain of rumble he had climbed and fell down. Baek Cheon smiled despondently.

‘It could have been a little touching.’

That can’t be true.

Chung Myung couldn’t even touch the wound and grumbled.

“That’s really crazy. It hurts.”

“Chung Myung-ah.”

“Yes?”

“You shouldn’t kick the Clan Leader like that.”

“To hell with Clan Leader.”

Chung Myung shook his hands as if he was annoyed and started trudging down.

“That… Chung Myung Dojang.”

“What?”

Chung Myung turned his head and stared at Han Yi-myung. He barely opened his mouth after being unable to say a word the whole time next to him, but Han Yi-myung flinched when he received the gaze.

“Y- You seem fine….”

“Just in case, don’t pay attention to this! I brought it after all the hard work! Don’t touch this. If you dare, the North Sea Ice Clan will be completely destroyed in the same day you put your hand on this.”

‘I’m not talking about that, this bastard! I’m not taking it!’

Han Yi-myung closed his eyes tightly.

‘The hero who saved the North Sea is this kind of person…’

He felt uncomfortable differently than when he believed Chung Myung was dead.

But Han Yi-myung, who was about to say something, hesitated momentarily and stopped it.

This is because Chung Myung’s robes covered in blood caught his eyes. Now that he sees it, there’s a trace of blood everywhere Chung Myung walks.

‘…Dojang.’

He could realize what a terrible battle this man had.

Right, what about the attitude? At any rate, this very person defeated the Demonic Cult and saved the North Sea.

Han Yi-myung vowed never to forget that fact.

“Wow. I thought I was going to die. I almost died this time. Filthy demon cult bastards. I killed them too mercifully. Agh, those rotten bastards!”

No. It felt like he could forget a little bit.

“…wow.”

“…….”

“You guys… look really awful.”

Mount Hua’s disciples smirked as they faced each other. Chung Myung giggled.

“I never thought there would be a day when Dongryong looked ugly.”

“Don’t call me Dongryong in public.”

“But what we should call Dongryong other than Dongryong?”

“Ughhh.”

Baek Cheon, who clenched his teeth, groaned at the pain felt on his face.

His nose was broken and his face was swollen beyond words. But he looked quite relieved for that.

“Huh? What happened to Sago’s face?”

Chung Myung clicked his tongue at Yoo Iseol, who had a similar, or rather, worst face to Baek Cheon.

“It’s all right.”

“Of course you are.”

Is it just these two?

None of Mount Hua’s disciples, even Hye Yeon, were fine.

“But everyone- Oh my mom! You surprised me!” (xoxo:he really said mom lol)

Chung Myung asked in dismay at the sight of Yoon Jong with both cheeks swollen.

“What’s wrong with Sahyung’s face? I don’t think it’s swollen because he got hit earlier.”

“…….”

Jo-Gol whistled and dodged his gaze.

Chung Myung let out a laugh.

“……….. The sect is going really well.”

How horrible it is to have all of them beaten up like this..

“Everyone’s…”

Chung Myung was about to say something when he smirked. Somehow, it was not easy to get the words out.

“Uh, so everyone is…”

It was then.

“Dojang-nim!”

Seol So-baek organized the situation and led the remaining Ice Clan Warriors toward Chung Myung’s side.

“Huh? Why is he coming here?”

“Isn’t he trying to get back at you because you kicked him earlier?”

“Does he want to get beaten again?”

“…Chung Myung, you are a Taoist.”

“I know. I didn’t say I’m going to kill him.”

“…… That’s great.”

“Of course, I’m just stating the obvious.”

The approaching Ice Clan Warriors were not very good-looking either. Their injuries suffered in the fierce battle against Magyo were all over the place with blood.

However, unlike when they first arrived here, their eyes are full of confidence.

‘Everyone has the face of a warrior.’

Chung Myung smiled quietly at the sight.

It was a terrible war, but the North Sea would have gained much from it.

“Dojang.”

Standing in the center, Seol So-baek took a deep breath while looking at Chung Myung.

Then, he put his hands together and bowed his head extremely deeply.

“As the Clan Leader of the North Sea Ice Clan, and as a person from the North Sea, I sincerely thank the Mount Hua Sect for their help!”

Chung Myung looked still at Seol So-baek.

Although he lowered his head, Chung Myung felt confident in his appearance. It was a figure of a person who overcame a crisis.

When Chung Myung stepped back, Baek Cheon noticed the meaning and stepped forward to receive Seol So-baek’s bow.

“We just did what we had to do. Don’t worry much, Clan Leader.”

It was indeed a polite answer.

Seol So-baek raised his and looked at Mount Hua’s disciples. The young eyes shone resolutely.

“North Sea will remember Mount Hua.”

That was enough.

Mount Hua’s disciples smiled brightly. Of course, it wasn’t a good smile because everyone’s face was all messed up, but to Seol So-baek’s eyes, it only looked great.

“Before that…”

“Yes, Dojang-nim!”

When Chung Myung opened his mouth, Seol So-baek stared with a sparkling face.

“Take care of the corpse first.”

“…….”

“It is a great pleasure to survive a difficult war. But if you’re the Clan Leader, you have to take care of the dead first. Other things could come afterward.”

At Chung Myung’s words, Seol So-baek nodded quickly.

“Yes, Dojang-nim.”

“You should.”

Chung Myung, who patted Seol So-baek’s head as if he was, shook his head with a groaning sound.

“Well then, call me when you’re done. I don’t even have the strength to stand. Aigoo, I’m dying. Ugh.”

And without paying any attention to other people’s gaze, he plopped down and lay flat.

No one, including Baek Cheon, dissuaded such Chung Myung.

“….Then me too….”

“I have no strength in my legs.”

“Amitabha…”

“… I’m going to die. I’m really going to die.”

“Sa- Sago, a cloth to lay on…”

Rather than stopping him, they sat on the ground one by one along with Chung Myung.

Seol So-baek was a little perplexed to see Mount Hua’s disciples, who threw off their faces and lay down. At that time, Chung Myung asked while lying down, only peeking with his eyes.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh? Ah, yes!”

Surprised, Seol So-baek quickly began to give instructions to the Ice Clan Warriors. The Ice Clan Warriors moved their bodies quickly without saying anything. Everyone was struggling as if they were about to collapse, but they can’t refuse to recover their colleague’s body.

Everyone busily moved and cleared the valley.

“I don’t think the corpse in the cave can be recovered.”

“……It can’t be helped.”

Han Yi-myung looked sadly into the cave.

“Elder Yo-nim.”

Of course, it cannot be said that he was right.

But he fought and died for the North Sea until the last moment.

He has many shortcomings, but wouldn’t that be enough?

‘Don’t worry.’

The North Sea will be different now. Because everyone learned a lot from them.

“We are almost done. Clan Leader-nim.”

“I think we need to get a cart and move the body.”
