Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 724

Complaints flowed out of Chung Myung’s mouth from the beginning, who entered the Sect Leader’s quarter with a frown.

“No, how long has it been since I finished my business and you hurriedly call people… huh?”

However, he quickly shut his mouth.

The atmosphere inside was completely different from what he had anticipated. Well, for now, setting aside everything else, Hyun Jong…

‘Huh… why is he lying down?’

‘No, could it be that he fell there?’

“Se- Sect Leader!”

“Pull yourself together, Sect Leader!”

“Soso! Call Soso! Quickly, Soso… huh? Soso! Hey, how is Sect Leader!”

“Ke- Keuhuk!”

At that moment, Hyun Jong raised his upper body and breathed in like a man who ran out of the water while diving. His pale face truly looked like someone who had just been saved from drowning.

“This… Wha… What is… This?”

His hands trembled so visibly. Then the scripture that was lifted shook as well.

“Vi- Violet Mist… Violet… Violet Mist Divine….”

‘Violet Mist Divine Art.’

Chung Myung finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his usual calm expression.

Hyun Jong glared at Baek Cheon with disbelief, astonishment, and perhaps fear(?) and anger, aiming his gaze at him.

“Wha- What is this… Why all of a sudden? Why?”

“Oh, that’s….”

Baek Cheon answered politely.

“It’s something we discovered during the process of retrieving the ancestor’s remains.”

“You’re talking about this…?”

“Yes!”

He answered loudly with a proud expression, nodding his head vigorously. He was pondering whether to reciprocate the gesture or not if Sect Leader hugs him with a face full of joy.

But somehow Hyun Jong’s response was a little different from his expectations.

“…Why… Now?”

“Oh, that’s….”

When Hyun Jong asked with a blank face, Baek Cheon scratched the back of his head.

“Since we were in the middle of another important matter, I thought it seemed appropriate to only report it after we get a little time… Ahh!”

At that moment, Hyun Jong leaped over the desk with lightning speed and kicked Baek Cheon in the chest with both feet.

Everyone’s eyes popped out when Baek Cheon fell back in the unexpected attack.

‘What have I just seen… ?’

‘Did Sect Leader beat Sasuk?”

‘No, even if Sect Leader beat him…. a flying kick?’

Hyun Jong, who had been lying on the floor, quickly stood up and shouted.

“Hey, you madman! You know what this is, but still decide to report it later! Even though you know… Uurggh!”

“Se- Sect Leader!”

“Euaaaa! Soso! Soso, hurry up!

Chung Myung was standing still while grinning at the chaotic scene.

‘What a mess.’

‘Cheong Jin-ah. Close your eyes for a second.’

A little later.

“…I mean.”

“…Yes.”

Hyun Jong opened his ax eye and glared at Baek Cheon, who had lowered his head in sulk.

“Did you think it would be okay to report later?”

“…Yes.”

Hyun Jong’s hand full of veins grabbed the inkstone on the desk at the obedient answer.

“Se- Sect Leader! Let’s calm down for now.”

“It’s Baek Cheon! Not Chung Myung!”

“If it was Chung Myung, I wouldn’t even say a word! It’s a problem because it’s him! How can the supposed successor not understand the importance of this matter! Hey, you punk! This! Huh? Do you know how important this item is!”
“Please calm down. Sect Leader. What would a child know? He’s still experienced.”

Hyun Sang interrupted Hyun Jong with a serious face.

And Baek Cheon looked at him with blank eyes.

‘I mean… uh, clearly…’
– Elder-nim, there’s something we’ve collected this time, so I don’t know if I should tell Sect Leader now……

– Now is not the time for that. Let’s talk after this matter is finished.

‘…Elder-nim?’

At that moment, Hyun Sang and Baek Cheon’s eyes met in the air.

Hyun Sang’s eyes clearly expressed his will, ‘If you blabbered carelessly, you would experience severe retribution accompanied by power and violence.”

Baek Cheon closed his eyes gently in sorrow. His long eyebrows became moist.
There is no one to trust in this world… no, no one to trust.

Just then, Un Gum, who had been quietly observing the situation, softly changed the subject.

“But Sect Leader, is this secret martial art really that important?”

“Hmm? Oh…. This secret martial art ….”

Baek Cheon looked back at Un Gum with moved eyes.

‘Sasuk!’

His heart that felt betrayed by the Elder was filled with the consideration of Un Gum.

Hyun Jong turned over a few pages of the class with trembling hands. It was a careful touch that feared the scripture would be damaged. After a while, he closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice.

“This secret martial art is….”

“Yes.”

“…Violet Mist Divine Art.”

“….”

A heavy silence descended in the room.

The expression on Un Gum’s face, which had become even more serious, opened his mouth toward Hyun Jong.

“Sect Leader.”

“Right. This is why I…….”

“That Violet Mist Divine Art … What is that?”

“…Huh?”

Hyun Jong looked straight at Un Gum with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t you know?”

“Well, I…”

“You don’t know?”

“…I haven’t been told about it?”

Hyun Jong tilted his head in confusion.

“Did I… not say anything?”

His gaze shifted to Baek Cheon with a hint of apology. But that too was brief, as his eyes quickly turned to another direction.

Baek Cheon’s face, who had roughly guessed the situation, looked unjust. Yoon Jong grabbed his shoulder and comforted him.

“…That’s how it is, Sasuk.”

Hyun Jong cleared his throat awkwardly and said.

“Violet Mist Divine Art is the highest energy method in Mount Hua Sect, which can be called the pinnacle of martial arts.” (Energy = Qi)

“Ah, now that you mention it, I remember. But it seemed like the name was a bit different… Didn’t you say it was Violet Mist Technique, Sect Leader?”

“Yes, this one.”

“Huh?”

Yoon Jong took scripture out of his arms and handed it to Hyun Jong, who stared at it blankly. His eyes gradually widened, and tears started to well up.

“Whe- Where else did you get this?”

“…It seems to be a secret martial art scripture that the ancestor possessed, but we retrieved it from that scammer. It was written as Violet Mist Technique.”

“And behind it is Plum Blossom Sword Finale (매화검결(梅花劍結)).”

“Ah, yes. Even though it looks like one book, it’s actually two. One is Violet Mist Technique, and the other is Plum Blossom Sword Finale.”

“….”

Astonishment and shock swept through Sect Leader’s residence once again.

Having managed to come to his senses, Hyun Jong looked back and forth between the secret martial art scripture and Five Swords several times.

“…So, you mean…”

But as he tried to organize his thoughts in his mind, he eventually gave up and covered his face with both hands.
“What the hell are these guys doing?

They went to catch an impersonator, and they picked up Violet Mist Divine Art? It’s not even a stone that’s fallen when you walk on the street….

And they retrieved it, but they acted as if it was nothing important until now? These lunatics!”

“…Sect Leader, you should keep those words inside your mind.”
“Huh? Did, did you hear that?”

“Yes… Up until ‘these lunatics’.”

Hyun Jong coughed awkwardly with a slightly flushed face.

“So… This is…”

“Argh! I can’t take it anymore!”
Hyun Young, who had remained still until now, couldn’t hold back his frustration any longer. And then he snatched the Violet Mist Divine Art that Hyun Jong was holding.

“This is Violet Mist Divine Art! And those over there are Violet Mist Technique!”

“…Are they different?”

“They are! Violet Mist Technique can be considered the energy method of Mount Hua. It is an energy method that surpasses Secen Star Energy Method and Plum Blossom Energy Method.”

“Then what about Violet Mist Divine Art?”

“Violet Mist Divine Art is an even higher level of martial arts. It is the ultimate martial art of Mount Hua Sect that only the Sect Leader of Mount Hua can learn.”

“Oh….”

“Wow….”

The admiration and awe of Mount Hua’s disciples were all drawn to the Violet Mist Divine Art in Hyun Young’s hands.

Of course, they thought it was an incredible martial art, but they never expected it to be a secret martial art that only the Sect Leader of Mount Hua Sect could learn, the pinnacle of the Mount Hua’s martial arts.

“But why is it there…….”

“I know right.”

Why would someone who is not the Sect Leader possess a martial art that only the Sect Leader could learn? The thirteenth Sect Leader of Mount Hua is Great Virtuous Sword (Cheon Mun), not Cheong Jin…

“Hand it over.”

When Hyun Jong reached out, Hyun Young quickly handed over the scripture.

Receiving the scripture, Hyun Jong sighed deeply and carefully placed it on the tea table.

“…huh.”

No matter how he thought about it, Hyun Jong couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief as he looked at Baek Cheon.

“Did you say the ancestor hid himself in a deep cave?”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“…I see, I see. The ancestor…”

Hyun Jong, who was understanding the approximate circumstances, nodded quietly.

‘Finally…’

Hyun Jong’s eyes, gazing at Violet Mist Divine Art, became wet.
This Violet Mist Divine Art is nothing more than a symbol of Mount Hua’s Sect Leader.

Although he ascended to the seat of Sect Leader in his predecessor’s will, he and his predecessor had no choice but to hold in their hearts the fact that they were half-baked who had not mastered Violet Mist Divine Art.

But the Violet Mist Divine Art, which had been a lifelong lacking part of them, finally returned to the arms of Mount Hua.

“The grace of the ancestor… is as vast as the river and the sea…”

Hyun Jong murmured in a damp voice as he gently stroked the cover of the partially burned Violet Mist Divine Art. And he spoke.

“Head of Martial Art.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Hyun Sang answered quickly with a serious face.

“Retrieve the secret scripture, confirm its authenticity, and determine if there are any issues. If there is any damage, find out if it can be restored.”

“Yes!”

“It’s a matter of great importance, put your heart and soul into it.”

“Yes, Sect Leader! However….”

But Hyun Sang, who had been answering confidently all along, hesitated for a moment.

“Sect Leader, I can verify Violet Mist Technique and Plum Blossom Sword Finale. Although it may take me a long time to understand the true meaning of martial art I have never seen before, it shouldn’t be too difficult to compare it with the martial arts of Mount Hua for confirmation.”

“Hmm, then?”

“But… It is impossible for me to confirm Violet Mist Divine Art.”

“Hm? Why?”

“According to the laws of Mount Hua, only Sect Leader can master Violet Mist Divine Art. If you are not the Sect Leader, you are not even allowed to access it. To visually inspect and confirm the true meaning of the secret martial art scripture is no different from learning the secret martial art scripture itself.”

“Eh? Really? Then why was that punk?”

During the serious conversation, everyone’s attention was drawn to the voice that suddenly intervened.

Chung Myung, who suddenly received all the attention, awkwardly laughed and waved his hand.

“Hehe… Don’t mind me. Is it a day or two I’m being like this?”

“….”

‘It’s true that it’s not a day or two thing.’

‘But usually, you don’t say that, Chung Myung.’

“Hmm. Then, what should we do?”
“Even if Sect Leader gives me the special authority to view Violet Mist Divine Art, the order has changed. It’s ridiculous that I’m the first to confirm the martial arts that Sect Leader hasn’t mastered. As for Violet Mist Divine Art… I think Sect Leader will have to confirm it directly.”

“…Me?”

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Hyun Sang’s voice got slightly agitated.

“It’s a martial art that only Sect Leader of Mount Hua can master. Of course, seeing and learning in person would be the best!”

At that moment, all of Mount Hua’s disciples gathered in the room and paid attention to Hyun Jong with sparkling eyes.

It was impossible not to read the clear expectations in those eyes. A cold sweat began to flow on Hyun Jong’s back.

‘Mount Hua’s best martial art.’

‘The strongest martial art that only Sect Leader can master!”

‘How much stronger will Sect Leader become then?’

‘Is it possible to beat up Chung Myung?’

‘Please! Please!’

Facing the kind of gazes that would make anyone feel pressured and want to run away, Hyun Jong nervously asked Hyun Sang again.
