Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 1746



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1746. You can call it venting your anger. (1)

The head of the Sacheon Dang family, Dang Gun-ak, looked at the person sitting in front of him.

“Your Majesty.”

Hyeonjong. The supreme leader of Hwasan and the leader of Cheonwoo Alliance.

What’s a little awkward is that there’s nothing between the two.

Even if Hyunjong met the leader of the Demonic Cult, it was said jokingly that he would offer him a cup of tea. It is said that he was even affectionately called Dajeongnogun (茶情老君) within Cheonwoomaeng.

It is tea love, but at the same time, it is also many emotions.

However, King Hyeonjong did not offer Dang Gun-ak a cup of tea. It was a sight that showed how deeply troubled King Hyeonjong was at the moment.

Tang Gun-ak guessed at his feelings, but he was about to say something unpleasant to the leader. Tang Gun-ak let out a short sigh and opened his mouth again.

“There is no point in doing this anymore. We must stop the search now.”

King Hyeonjong, who had been silent, quietly watched the Tang military music.

“The voices of discontent are growing louder.”

“… … .”

“Of course I understand your regret. However, Chief Jang… … No, if Jin Ga’s Jin Dong Ryong has decided to hide himself, it won’t be easy to find him. You know his abilities better than anyone, don’t you, the leader?”

Even as he spoke, Dang Gun-ak suppressed his emotions.

Why wouldn’t it be a pity? But now is the time to put all this aside.

“The Cheonwoo Alliance is a federation.”

“… … .”

“Some people are eagerly waiting for news from Jang Moon-dae-ri, but some people don’t even care. It’s not good for everyone to be driven to search in this situation. Maybe all of this will lead to resentment against the leader.”

Dang Gun-ak took a deep breath and brought out the words he had been suppressing.

“So now it’s time to decide… … .”

At that moment, a bitter smile briefly appeared on the corner of King Hyeonjong’s mouth, who had been silent the whole time.

“It’s strange. I don’t mean to brag, but… … I’ve never once given the order to look for that guy.”

Tang Gun-ak closed his mouth for a moment. It must be so. As proof, Hwasan has not participated in the search up to now.

“It was the intention of the long texts of the other side to start the search.”

If it’s natural, then it’s natural.

The Cheonwoo Alliance is a federation of various sects, so the leader cannot unilaterally exercise decision-making authority in all matters.

If it is an urgent matter where life or death is at stake or the fate of the world is at stake, it may be possible to exercise the right of compulsion, but it is difficult to force someone to do something trivial such as finding a person.

“But… … It’s my job to clean up something I didn’t do.”

Dang Gun-ak let out a small sigh. At this moment, he wanted to leave his position and comfort King Hyeonjong as a person. However, even that was a luxury in the current situation.

“Isn’t that what it means to be on top?”

“… … .”

“Even though it wasn’t a direct order from the lord, those searching will naturally think it was the lord’s order. This is even more so since this matter is related to Jin Dongryong.”

The Tang army gave a short sigh.

“People who do things they don’t want to do are just looking for someone to blame, regardless of whether it’s true or not.”

As a human being, this situation was pitiful for King Hyeonjong.

At least King Hyeonjong would consider himself responsible for all this. But it is he who has to call a halt to the search for the person who was most hurt by this.

It’s a situation where you have to bow your head to take back an order that wasn’t even given. How can you not feel sorry?

“Your Majesty.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Dang Gun-ak was somewhat surprised by the answer that came more readily than expected.

“… … That should work.”

Hyun-jong’s voice was hollow. That made Dang Gun-ak ask again. It was funny even when he thought about it.

“… … Are you okay?”

“What can I do? Since I can’t know what’s right, I have no choice but to believe what someone else tells me is right.”

Tang Gun-ak’s face hardened slightly.

“Your Majesty.”

“Don’t look at me like that. It just makes me realize that I’ve never accomplished anything on my own.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was all done by the kids. The kids… … . Baekcheon was made by that kid.”

Tang Gun-ak couldn’t say anything. He just unconsciously clenched his fists.

“And yet I believed that I could find a better way than those kids.”

An empty laugh passes through Hyeonjong.

“I forgot my incompetence. All I did was rely on what those kids had done. Experience is not the refuge of old age, but I have been fooling myself with that word.”

“Don’t say that, my lord. Things just didn’t work out well. That’s something that can happen to anyone.”

Dang Gun-ak, with a hardened face, spoke seriously. It seemed that King Hyeonjong was more heartbroken than he had thought.

This won’t do. The enemy is still not far away and his blade is flashing, and it’s difficult for the leader to continue like this.

Just as Dang Gun-ak was about to say something, Hyeonjong spoke first.

“My lord, please take the position of leader.”

“Falcon, my lord!”

Tang Gun-ak was so flustered that he started to stutter and shout. However, Hyeonjong remained calm.

“That would be right for the cause, too.”

Dang Gun-ak, who was about to tell them to calm down, ended up keeping his mouth shut.

Calm down? Are those words really spoken in the heat of the moment? Is there even a hint of excitement in those sunken eyes?

“… … My lord. First of all… … .”

“I knew full well that it was an excessive position. But everyone said it was okay, so I thought it was. I shouldn’t have fooled myself.”

“… … .”

“Please do so. You must do so now.”

It was a moment when Tang Gun-ak sighed deeply.

Suddenly, the outside became noisy and chaotic. Dang Gun-ak frowned slightly and paused as a thought crossed his mind.

Have you found any traces of Baekcheon?

“for a moment.”

Tang Gun-ak jumped up from his seat and headed outside.

When I opened the door, there were already many people gathered in the wide smokehouse. Just by looking at their expressions, it was clear that something unusual had happened.

“What happened… … .”

“My lord! It’s an attack!”

Before Dang Gun-ak could even finish his question, a scream-like sound came. Dang Gun-ak opened his eyes wide and asked sharply.

“A raid?”

“Those who went out to search are now being attacked. Quick, provide support… …!”

The Sappers attacked? They, in this situation?

“Have you figured out the enemy’s numbers?”

“We just got word that we’re being attacked. The number and identity of the enemy are both unknown!”

The expression on Dang Gun-ak’s face changed suddenly.

‘Is it all-out war? Or… … .’

Since we don’t know the number of enemies, we can’t guess the scale of the battle that will unfold.

‘No, if the whole thing had moved, I wouldn’t have known. It’s not an all-out war.’

But can we be sure?

“My lord! Please give your order!”

It was at that time that the Tang military band was frozen in thought.

“Fuck, everyone follow me!”

“What are you going to do?”

“What are you asking? Let’s go apply first! Hurry up!”

“The enemy… … .”

“I’ll go first!”

“Hey, you little shit!”

The Tang Army Musicians suddenly turned their gaze towards where the commotion was taking place.

Suddenly, all I could see was his back.

‘What are you doing?’

But it was immediately clear that the main character of the uproar was Jo Geul. The volcano’s inspectors were following him as he shot down the mountain.

‘……okay.’

The important thing is that the blind people who are being attacked are there.

Right now, most of Cheonwoomaeng’s forces are scattered all over the place searching Mt. Wudang. What if enemy forces invade at such a time?

Creepy.

Just imagining it sent a chill down my spine. Maybe the volcano would experience the reverse of what it had done to that Sapaenyeon.

‘no!’

It’s like a disaster. That’s because Cheonwoomyeong is currently in a state where invisible cracks are forming here and there. One big hammer blow could cause it to collapse.

“Where are you?”

“It’s from Banghyeon County!”

“Send a mobilization order to all parties in the Shamanic Order. And everyone here, support the attacked area. Go!”

“yes!”

Paat.

The Tang army’s music shot down the mountain like a lightning bolt.

“I’ll go first! Hurry up and provide support!”

“yes!”

He flew away and bit his lips tightly.

‘We must not let this become the responsibility of the leader. Absolutely not!’

The dark green hem of her dress fluttered wildly in the wind.

* * *

“It’s an attack!”

“It’s an attack by the Sapaeryeon!”

Zhuge Guanwei’s face was pale and frozen. Even as he kicked the ground and pushed his body back, his heart was pounding as if it was going to burst.

‘Why is there a Sapaeryeon here?’

Aren’t they already retreating a long time ago? Then why did they suddenly appear here? It’s probably before they even recovered from the damage they suffered in the last battle!

‘Then what happened to the guys in front?’

Zhuge Guanwei had already entered the territory of Wudangsan Mountain.

However, the other members of the Jegal family were still scattered throughout the village at the foot of the mountain, searching.

If the enemies had come this far, what would have happened to the lives of the people in the village?

Zhuge Guanwei clenched his teeth so hard that a loud noise was heard.

But now was not the time to guess at their life or death. It was difficult to even respond to what was happening right before my eyes.

“What, back off, back off!”

Zhuge Guanwei was not the type of person to easily talk about retreating.

But there was no other way now. The number of Zhuge Liang family members with him was only about ten. On the other hand, the number of those creepy guys rushing in was more than three times that of this group at first glance.

Even the aura they exude is extraordinary. If you try to fight them clumsily, you won’t be able to hold out and you’ll all end up dying.

“Back off! Help is coming! Back off!”

Zhuge Guanwei shouted until his throat was hoarse.

But even for those who have devoted their whole lives to learning, holding back and stepping back is no faster than charging forward blindly.

Even more so when you consider that those who retreat have a steep mountain behind them.

Crunch!

“Ugh!”

“I have to!”

Unable to avoid the enemy’s blade, Zhuge Hai’s neck shot up into the air. His head spun around. The confusion and despair still vivid on his face were engraved in Zhuge Guanwei’s eyes.

“Back off! Don’t fight back! Sacrifices are inevitable!”

Although his heart was filled with bitter resentment, Zhuge Guanwei said something different from what he had thought. He had to save at least one more person.

Pfft!

Two bloodthirsty men rushed toward him. The clothes on their bodies fluttered, revealing short, oddly shaped swords that resembled hooks. An eerie light flashed.

Kaang!

Zhuge Guanwei struck down the strange sword that was rushing towards his face with his long sword.

Kagagak!

However, Gihyeongdo did not back down easily and quickly clung to Zhuge Guanwai’s sword again, making an eerie friction sound.

“Put the pressure down!”

Fight!

Zhuge Guanwei instantly raised his internal energy and pushed the bloody man away. He had no intention of taking advantage of an opening. Now was not the time to fight rashly, but to run away.

Just as Zhuge Guanwei was about to fly backwards again, the Bloody Man’s strange sword fell from above his head one step faster.

“profit!”

Zhuge Guanwei twisted his body and raised his sword to strike.

The target was not the deformity, but the arm of the bloodthirsty man holding the deformity.

Crunch.

The sword soon penetrated the bloody man’s arm. But at that moment, Zhuge Guanwei sensed that something was wrong.

‘what?’

It didn’t feel like I was cutting down a person.

If I had to find something similar, it was like stabbing a sword into a sticky fish glue. It was sticky and dull. It was a strange sensation that gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Crunch!

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhuge Guanwei hesitated, the Bloody Man’s strange sword was thrust into his side.

“Ahhhh!”

A scream bursts out on its own.

It was different from the pain of a simple stab. The irregular blade dug into the wound, and blood gushed out in long veins.

bang!

Zhuge Guanwei instinctively stretched out his leg and kicked the enemy. He succeeded in pushing him back, but the recoil caused him to roll on the ground as well.

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh… … . Ugh… … .”

He clutched the wound on his side with trembling hands.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Kwaaak!”

Even at this moment, screams erupted here and there. He somehow managed to raise his prone body and looked around.

“ah…….”

Before I knew it, my relatives were lying in a miserable state, wetting the ground red.

“You’re a tough guy.”

“eww…….”

Zhuge Guanwei’s face was distorted like an evil spirit.

“Shall I take your heart out?”

“Not bad. It would make a suitable sacrifice.”

Deep despair flashed in his eyes.

‘Blood Palace.’

Why didn’t it occur to me that they might attack?

“Hurry up. If you fall behind others, the leader will tear off your head and use it as a chalice.”

“Okay.”

The bloodthirsty man’s deformity once again oozed a chilling blood light.

“Know it as glory.”

Love liquid!

Zhuge Guanwei instinctively raised his sword. But at the same time, he knew.

This is unstoppable.

Sensing the end of his life, he opened his eyes wide. He was determined not to die miserably even if he had to die.

Thanks to that, I was able to see Zhuge Guanwei.

I’m talking about the sight of a strangely deformed object flying at him, which he couldn’t even shake off, being split in half in an instant.

‘……uh?’

A red aura passed before my eyes like an illusion.

It was different from the blood-red body of the enemies. A much more vivid color of black energy cut through the deformity and embedded itself into the body of the blood-man.

Kwaaaaang!

The power contained in the sword was so strong that the body of the blood archer that was hit literally exploded. The pieces flew left and right like shells.

“ah…….”

Thud. Thud.

Soon, footsteps were heard behind me.

Zhuge Guanwei had no choice but to slowly turn around, even though he knew that there was an enemy right in front of him.

And the moment he saw the face of the person approaching from behind, Zhuge Guanwei realized.

‘volcano…….’

The enemy is right in front of you, but it’s as if he’s not there anymore.

‘… …Swordmanship?’

Damn it.

Cheongmyeong, who had brushed past Zhuge Guanwei and stepped forward, looked around with icy eyes. Those who had already lost their breath, those who were groaning from injuries, and those who were hesitating and wary of him… … .

“I’m out of luck.”

Kagak.

The tip of the Qingming sword roughly scraped the ground.

“I’m not feeling well right now.”

“Plum Blossom Sword Ghost! W, Wake up… .”

“So… … you can call it venting your anger.”

Cheongmyeong, with an eerie murderous aura emanating from both eyes, rushed towards the enemies like an arrow.
