Return of the Mount Hua Sect

Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1094

“Good words. Yes, they’re good words.”

Chung Myung, lying down on the bed holding a bottle of liquor, muttered indifferently.

“Going together, keeping in step. Of course, that’s not a good thing to say. However….”

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

The liquor flowed smoothly down his throat.

“Kahaaa! It’s killing me!”

Pulling the bottle away from his mouth with force, he twirled it in his hand, examining it.

“Is it because the water here is good? The liquor goes down so easily.”

Chung Myung smacked his lips with a happy face, soon returned to a sour expression again, and spoke.

“No, but think about it. No matter how much you try to keep in step, can a person match their steps with a slug? No, right?”

“….”

“So there’s a minimum standard. A minimum. Huh? At least treat them like people if you want to match steps or hands. If they don’t even look human, how am I supposed to drag them along?”

Chung Myung slowly turned his head and asked.

“Isn’t that right?”

“….”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Ugh….”

But what came back wasn’t an answer but a dying groan.

Baek Cheon, who was lying face down and covered in dirt, glared at Chung Myung with eyes full of resentment.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

But Chung Myung didn’t even look at him and just drank more vigorously.

“Keueuue!”

Chung Myung took the bottle out of his mouth and let out a long exclamation before clicking his tongue.

“So you have to at least make them into proper human cubs. Only then can you do something with them.”

“…Son of a beast.”

“The ghost… What the hell is the ghost doing… Why won’t they catch that bastard.”

“…No, now I just want them to take me away. It’s just hell here… Any place without that bastard is heaven.”

It was when Five Swords, whose body was in even more tattered condition than when they fought in Hangzhou, was uttering harsh curses.

Behind them, in the same sorry state… No, looking at his appearance, Im Sobyeong, who was a bit more miserable, opened his mouth in a dying voice.

“No… I- I’m… No, I’m… Why…”

Five Swords looks back at Im Sobyeong with dull eyes.

“Didn’t you hear?”

“Hear what…”

“From now on, any sect affiliated with Heavenly Comrade Alliance moves forward with Mount Hua.”

“But what does that…”

Yoo Iseol said with a sullen face.

“Because we are friends. Treatment without discrimination. Training without discrimination.”

“….”

“So Nokrim rolls too. Like Mount Hua.”

“…I, I’m a patient….”

“Patients roll too.”

“H- How does that make any sense?”

It was not only Nokrim who protested in dying voices, but also people of Tang Family who were rolling next to them.

A hazy moisture appeared in the eyes of those who were writhing in anger.

Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword, Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword, they only heard about it. No, they’d even seen him with their own eyes, but they thought his madness had nothing to do with the Tang family.

He came in all of sudden early in the morning and said, ‘From today, I’m in charge of your training. If you have any complaints, take it up with Tang Gaju’—what kind of law is that?

And what on earth is Tang Gun-ak doing that he hasn’t shown his face since morning, when he should be stopping this?

Rebellion?

Of course, they tried. It was more like a timid resistance than rebellion, though.

However, after Tang Zhan, who was trying to persuade Chung Myung in a good way, was kicked and thrown into the cold water of the Yangtze River, the words of rebellion and resistance ended up having nothing to do with them.

“Um…”

At that time, Namgung Dowi, who was lying sprawled out, raised his hand slightly.

“What?”

“Can I ask a question?”

“Speak.”

Namgung Dowi took a quick look at the surroundings and opened his mouth.

“That… You gathered us up earlier…. That from now on, we would be moving forward together…?”

“Yes.”

“But what does that have to do with this training…. Oh, of course, we, Namgung Family, have no complaints since this is what we originally did, but I think it is a little different for Tang Family and Nokrim.”

“Ah, you mean this?”

Chung Myung made a sound and agonized for a moment, then nodded.

“If you want an explanation, I should give you one.”

Five Swords’s eyes widened at those words.

“An explanation… from him?”

“That bastard?”

“Would the sun rise in the west?”

It was a well-deserved reaction. This is because Chung Myung is a person who explains only when he feels like it, and just ignores when it is bothersome.

If one were to find the correct response from Chung Myung here, it would have to be, ‘If I tell you to do it, just do it. Why is a kid whose head hasn’t dried yet like you rolling your eyes and questioning everything?’ But… was he really going to explain it so easily?

At that moment when everyone was in confusion, Tang Soso quietly thought.

“We paid a lot of money.”

“Ah….”

Five Swords, who understood everything from that one word, shook their head.

Right, they pay a lot. Innocent if rich, guilty if poor. This dirty world…

Either way, Chung Myung shrugged his shoulders and continued.

“I realized something.”

“…Yes? What do you mean?”

Chung Myung violently slammed the bottle down on the table. His eyes flared up.

“Those Magyo bastards are waiting with bloodshot eyes for their Heavenly Demon to return! That greedy Jang Ilso bastard is sticking his tongue out, trying to do something to Gangbuk!”

“….”

“And I was only fixated on Mount Hua.”

Chung Myung rolled his eyes and glared at the people who were groaning before him.

“There are so many resources (?) here.”

At first glance, it seemed as if flames were burning in Chung Myung’s eyes. No, that may actually be the case.

“What does it mean to go hand in hand?”

“…To be united in heart and mind…”

“That bastard, that! He’s saying obvious things because he’s a child from a good family.”

Kwang!

Chung Myung hit the table with his palm and his eyes widened.

“To go hand in hand means to share responsibility! Shared responsibility!”

“….”

“In the past, Mount Hua bore all the burdens alone. But if you think about it, there was no reason for that! No, is it Mount Hua’s fault for not being able to stop Magyo bastards? You all share the responsibility too.”

“N- No….”

That’s true, but…. That’s….

Chung Myung, who had been venting his frustration, suddenly broke into a grin.

“We have to go together. Yes, we have to go together. But why should only the cubs from Mount Hua suffer? Everyone should see hell equally, see their deceased grandfather for a moment equally, and share the burden equally.”

“N- No. That…!”

“My grandfather is still alive….”

It was when Nokrim and the people of Tang Family were trying to protest something.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

Loud applause was heard next to them.

Mount Hua’s disciples that were dying had suddenly regained their strength and stood up, giving loud applause to Chung Myung.

Then, wiping away the tears that had not yet come out, they continued to praise him in emotional tones.

“It was an inspiring speech.”

“I’m not usually one to cry, but it brought tears to my eyes.”

“I agree!”

These bastards….

People of Nokrim and Tang Family glared at Mount Hua’s disciples like crazy, but the gaze of Namgung Dowi, who actually asked the question, was fixed on Chung Myung.

“That…. That means….”

“Yes.”

Chung Myung nodded.

“If people are going to run together, they should at least be able to keep pace. To put it bluntly, when the bishop appeared in Gangnam this time, how many people were able to fight?”

Chung Myung’s eyes were fixed on Tang Family.

“At best, one person from the Tang family.”

The Tang Family members hung their heads low.

The Sichuan Tang Family was never underestimated for their skills, but the Gangnam incident was a different story. Considering what happened there, it must be said that among Tang Family members, there is no one who can play an active role in Hangzhou except Tang Gun-ak.

This time, Chung Myung’s gaze fell on Im Sobyeong.

“One from Nokrim.”

Unlike Tang Family, Im Sobyeong proudly raised his chin.

“That’s just how bandits are! What more do you expect?”

Chung Myung, who was looking at Im Sobyeong with an incredibly displeased look, turned his head to Namgung Dowi.

“One from Namgung.”

“….”

“And even that one is a half-assed one.”

Namgung Dowi hung his head even lower.

If it were Namgung Family where Namgung Hwang and the elders were alive before the Plum Blossom Island incident, the words would be different, but the current Namgung Family could not deny those words.

It was something that could be called unfair, but Namgung Dowi knew that his feeling could not make up for his lack of skills.

“But what? Heavenly Comrade Alliaaaaaance? Heavenlyyyyyy Comrade Alliaaaaance? Comraaaaaaaaade?”

Chung Myung’s eyes fluttered fiercely.

“Friends, my ass. If Magyo bastards invade during this chaos, what’s going to happen? You lot will probably just say, ‘We’ll cheer you on from the back, so Mount Hua, you go handle it.’ and clap from behind. You bastards!”

“….”

“Do you think I’m going to let that happen?”

The madness of Chung Myung reaches its peak and rages.

“This time, I’m not dying alone! If we die, we die together, and if we live, we live together! When Mount Hua goes to hell, you all go to hell with us. That’s what friends are for!”

– …Chung Myung. I don’t think that’s ….

“Ah, Sahyung, shut up!”

Yoon Jong and Jo-Gol momentarily looked at each other.

“Did you say something?”

“No?”

“….”

“Anyway!”

Chung Myung shouted loudly and rolled his eyes.

“Tang Family!”

The Tang Family flinch and cringed their necks.

“Namgung Family!”

Namgung Dowi bowed his head.

“And those bandit bastards!”

“…No. Please don’t discriminate and at least call me Nokrim….”

Im Sobyeong protested, but there was no way his words could be heard in Chung Myung’s ears.

“Before those Evil Sects bastard or Magyo bastards invade, I’ll make sure you can at least earn your keep. So just shut up and train as you’re told.”

“U- Um….”

At that time, Tang Pae, Sogaju of Sichuan Tang Family, timidly raised his hand.

“What?”

“That… it may be difficult for you to understand, but Sichuan Tang Family specializes in poison and hidden weapons, so our training methods are different from those of other martial sects. Therefore, we would prefer to train autonomously…”

The moment they heard those words, Tang Family members looked back at Tang Pae with hope restored.

However, Chung Myung crushed that hope with a single blow.

“It’s fine.”

“…Yes?”

“I said, it’s fine.”

“…N- No. That….”

“This is what Tang Gaju agreed to in the first place, so just be quiet.”

Tang Pae’s head hung down. No wonder he hadn’t seen him since dawn, but he didn’t expect he’d sold his family members in the meantime.

“There’s nothing to worry about.”

Chung Myung looked at everyone with eyes full of motivation.

“It might take me some time to find the problems, but I’m very good at solving the problems I find. That’s why… half a year. Before that half-year is over, I’ll make sure every one of you becomes a decent person.”

“….”

“Only then can we.”

A very gentle smile spread across Chung Myung’s lips.

“We could become real friends.”

At that moment, there was only one question for everyone. Is it really okay to use the word ‘friend’ in that way…?

“Now, let’s start…”

At that moment, Im Sobyeong raised his hand. His eyes gleamed with malice.

“What? No complaints will be…”

“That’s not it!”

The moment Chung Myung tilted his head in confusion, Im Sobyeong let out a voice full of malice.

“When are Yasugung and Ice Palace coming?”

“….”

“We need to be friends. They’re part of Heavenly Comrade Alliance too!”

Chung Myung, who heard his determined voice saying that he would never die alone, looked at Im Sobyeong with sincere admiration.

“…As expected of an Evil Sects guy. The qualities are different.”

Everyone secretly agreed with that statement.

“Well, I’ll take care of that myself.”

Chung Myung rose from his seat with a grin.

“Now, let’s get started. The process of becoming a real friend. Kikikikikik.”

Those who saw that smile had to seriously consider leaving the alliance. Very seriously.
