Return of Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 579

G-Gul

Hyun Sang was shocked as he mumbled that name.

The bandit who called himself Dong Woong was clearly not inferior to the Poison Blood Hand, whom he had previously fought.

Of course, if they were to be compared, then Poison Blood Hand would win, but it wouldnt be such a one-sided fight.

But Jo Gul, and not someone else, dealt with such a person on his own nonchalantly and mockingly.

Oh heavens

Hyun Sang slowly opened his mouth.

Wasnt it true that parents were the ones who were most unaware of their childrens growth?

There might be someone who didnt know that Jo Gul had become stronger, but knowing it intellectually and seeing it with ones own eyes were two different things.

Gul

Un Geom was also looking at Jo Gul as if he was quite shocked.

Tsk, this is so expected.

Hyun Young snorted.

Chung Myung has trained the kids so much; of course, they would be like this.

This man. Thats because it isnt a normal thing!

Hyun Sang shouted, clearly frustrated.

Hyun Young was a person who didnt focus on martial arts, so he didnt understand how significant this was.

How long had it been since the Ten Thousand People clan had invaded them? How could a persons skills double in a short period of less than a year?

But Hyun Young still listened to his words.

Well, I know Jo Gul has become stronger, but dont focus too much on that. Arent the other kids catching those bandits like theyre chasing after mice?

Ah

Hearing those words, Hyun Sang looked at each of the other Mount Hua disciples with new eyes. The feeling was new.

When did this happen?

The decision was made by Hyun Jong and Chung Myung.

As expected, Hyun Sang decided that with the power of Mount Hua now, there wouldnt be a major problem in handling the bandits of Green Forest, so he didnt object to it

But I didnt think it would be like this

He trembled.

What else could he say, given that the Green Forest bandit in this place resembled a newly formed bandit troop on a small mountain?

Mount Hua has

A groan-like voice escaped from Hyun Sangs mouth.

Mount Hua has become really strong.

Whats new about that?

Hyun Young rudely shut him down, but his face was actually filled with a smile.

But, sahyung.

Huh?

Hasnt Jo Gul become stronger?

Y-yes!

Hyun Sangs voice rose like a childs.

I dont know about you, but the kids growth is truly ridiculous. If they fully absorb the pill, theyll be much stronger than they are now!

Right!

Huh?

Who is stronger, Gul or sahyung?

Why arent you answering? Who is stronger?

Hyun Sangs gaze was fixed on the kids.

Push!

Jo Guls defeat of Dong Woong had a clear impact on the morale of the other disciples.

As anyone could see, their leader had fallen down, so the disciples of Mount Hua, who were already hyped, gained a hundred times more courage.

On the other hand, the morale of the bandits, whose leader had fallen, plummeted, and they quickly began to be subdued by the swords of the Mount Hua disciples.

Baek Cheons voice rang out loudly.

Never forget the teachings of Mount Hua at any time and under any circumstances! Those who cannot keep their heads cool cannot perform their best!

Yes!

Even in the midst of that chaotic battle, a resounding answer came back. Baek Cheon examined the situation with narrowed eyes and nodded.

I dont think we will have a problem.

He had planned to join if they got into a difficult situation, but things were going well. The disciples of Mount Hua were fighting extremely well. In this situation, joining again would actually limit their experience.

I didnt do anything today, sasuk.

Me neither.

Yoon Jong and Yu Yiseol voiced their complaints, but Baek Cheon merely smiled.

Isnt this just the beginning?

Indeed.

At that moment, they noticed Jo Gul approaching them, his shoulders raised high, almost level with his head.

He was elated.

No, even that word didnt fully capture his emotion. Jo Gul approached them, chin raised.

Hehe. Did you all see that? How I cleanly took down that big guy?

The three of them frowned.

Gul.

Huh?

I feel so proud seeing your personality develop every day.

Hahaha! Well, its just natural

Thats an insult, you brat.

Baek Cheon sighed and shook his head.

He couldnt understand why everyones condition was deteriorating day by day.

Well, theres something to be proud of.

Normally, they would have scolded him a bit, but they didnt bother to discourage him because he had accomplished something worth bragging about.

Over time, Jo Gul had faced formidable warriors. But each time, Yoon Jong was by his side. Or, they all fought together.

Ultimately, this meant that it was the first time he had defeated a world-renowned warrior.

Baek Cheon, who understood the significance of this for a warrior, didnt want to dampen Jo Guls spirits.

Of course, everyone else felt the same way.

Youre standing tall?

The guy sipping alcohol in the background seemed to have different thoughts.

You cut them down like that, and you want to stand proud? Ill cut you down!

Jo Gul, who had been feeling proud, couldnt help but shrink back.

I-I did pretty well, though.

Pretty well?

He quietly looked away to avoid Chung Myungs glaring eyes.

Well? Well? That one?

Chung Myung.

Huh?

I dont know what I did, but I was wrong.

Tsk.

Chung Myung clicked his tongue.

You shouldnt say anything.

After quelling that temper, he turned his head and looked at the other disciples.

Hmm. Un Geom Sasuk, we encountered many troubles while we were in the North Sea.

Theirs was the sword of Chung Myung, which emphasized the basics. Perhaps that was why everyone seemed unfazed despite wielding such spirits and qi.

Good.

Chung Myung nodded, seemingly pleased with this.

There was still a long way to go, but they reached this point quicker than anticipated. For now, that felt sufficient.

Kak!

Ackkkk!

The defending bandit fell down, screaming.

The bandits seemed reluctant to attack, appearing to think about retreat. More than half of them were down. Dong Woong, the man who had led them until now, had fallen.

Where would they find the courage to continue fighting in this situation?

Baek Cheon raised his voice.

Drop your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed.

The bandits looked back at Baek Cheon with suspicious eyes, to which he responded.

I am Baek Cheon of the Great Mount Hua Sect. Mount Hua does not lie!

Jo Gul whispered in Yoon Jongs ear in a low voice so that others couldnt hear.

Isnt that a lie too?

Thats why Im saying it. In this situation, one can lie a little, but you cannot deny its a lie because of the circumstances, right?

Quiet.

Yes.

When Yu Yiseol glared at them sharply, Jo Gul and Yoon Jong fell silent under his gaze.

And

Clack. Clack.

Finally, the bandits blades began to fall to the ground. The remaining standing bandits fell to their knees.

Capture those who surrendered and collect the weapons!

Yes!

This loud response echoed, making the city tremble.

The people of Changsha, who had been watching all this, clicked their tongues.

Oh my

No one was hurt here!

Even when dealing with the most ordinary bandits, injuries were inevitable. The rugged bandits who lived by the sword were the most troublesome adversaries.

However, the Mount Hua Sect didnt sustain any significant injuries despite confronting the best of the bandits. If it werent for the faint blood stains around, the injuries seemed almost nonexistent.

Mount Hua is truly powerful!

I never imagined it would be like this

Everyone, both those who were aware of Kanghos situation and those who werent, couldnt conceal their admiration and gazed at the disciples of Mount Hua.

There was a peculiar sense of excitement.

It was then that Chung Myung nudged Baek Cheon on the back.

Sasuk.

Huh?

What is it?

Baek Cheon turned to look at Chung Myung with a puzzled expression. However, it would have been better if he hadnt looked at all, as Chung Myung was grinning with a wicked smile.

Now you have to do what you need to do.

do what now?

Are you joking? Once the table is set, we need to eat!

He knew. Of course, he knew.

However, Baek Cheons grievance was why he had to do it himself.

What can be said?

He wasnt a person who listened to words.

Finally, Baek Cheon took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward. Then, the attention of the residents focused on him.

Taking a deep breath, he broadened his shoulders.

There were people in the world who always stepped up but shrank when the attention was on them, but Baek Cheon was the type who would do a somersault if given the opportunity.

The bandits who attacked the guesthouse have all been subdued by the Mount Hua sect, so you can sleep peacefully once again.

WOAHHHHH!

As soon as he finished speaking, loud cheers erupted. Since this was a place where people were encouraged to cheer, there was no reason not to scream.

Cheers to the Mount Hua sect!

Thank you! Thank you!

Bandits are nothing! Really! Hahaha!

Baek Cheon waited for the whispers to subside before he spoke.

There might be another attack, so we will remain vigilant. We will soon ascend Mount Hyeong and eliminate the bandits who have been troubling you. Please be patient and wait a little longer.

The cheers intensified, doubling in volume.

Finally, Baek Cheon smiled. The wind that conveniently made his hair flutter slightly stirred excitement among the people.

So dedicated

Mount Hua is a rejuvenated sect!

The cheers for Baek Cheon seemed unending. Perhaps motivated by this, Jo Gul also stepped forward, attempting to speak.

However.

Then.

Huh?

Jo Gul spun around as a hand seized him.

Yu Yiseol, Yoon Jong, and Chung Myung extended their hands and clutched his clothes.

Not you.

Just stay here.

A person should know his limits, sahyung.

Jo Guls face quivered as if he had bitten into something unpleasant.

I defeated the leader.

I understand.

Yes, you did well.

But Jo Gul couldnt shake off his regrets, and Chung Myung twisted his face and said,

There are times in the world when effort doesnt equate to recognition. Dont ruin the beautiful picture. Just stay here.

Dog.

Tears welled up in Jo Guls eyes.

Yoon Jong patted his shoulders.

What can you do? This is the world we live in.

Dont try to console me. It makes me want to cry.

Cheer up now.

Jo Gul, with his shoulders drooping, returned to his original position.

Hmm.

Chung Myung observed the cheering crowd and smiled.

At this point, the rumor will spread.

A well-known sects reputation would propagate on its own even if it stayed still, but a sect with low fame like Mount Hua would not become renowned if it remained idle.

There was no more certain way than to create a memorable spectacle in peoples eyes.

Those who witnessed this began to discuss the activity of Mount Hua, and the embers they lit then spread like wildfire.

Nice.

Chung Myung, who had achieved everything he wanted, glanced at the guesthouse. The Hyun elders, watching them through the window, waved their hands when they saw Chung Myung.

Their expressions were bright.

Tsk tsk.

Whats so great now? It wasnt as if we did something great.

This was just the start.

Get this sorted out well. The real fight starts now.

Chung Myung turned around and said.

In this way, the raid of the Great Star Bandits ended with cheers from the residents.

That left a bigger fight ahead.
