Return of the Mount Hua Sect [EN]: Chapter 669

Bang! Yang Kyung fell to the ground. Blood poured from his nose. He shook and twitched.

People had been watching without moving. Now, they started to wake up.

‘What just happened?’

‘Oh my goodness.’

Yang Kyung was called “Cheoldamho.” He wasn’t famous everywhere, but in this area of Honam, many people knew him. His group, the Cheongbaek Sect, was strong and respected here.

But…

‘Just one hit?’

‘Wait, did he kick his face?’

‘Cheoldamho lost so easily?’

‘Can he even do that?’

When something is too unbelievable, people don’t know what to think. Chung Myung defeated Cheoldamho with just one kick. Chung Myung is called the “Hwasan Divine Dragon” and is very famous in Hwasan, a mountain sect. He just attacked a guest! This shocked everyone and made them confused.

“Hey… Hey, you’re crazy…”

Jo Gul could barely speak, he was so shocked.

The Hwasan disciples behind him just stared at Chung Myung. Their eyes were wide and shaking.

‘He’s a madman.’

‘That’s Chung Myung for you. He always acts first and thinks later.’

‘How did he become so strong?’

The other disciples were just shocked. But Jo Gul felt more than that.

“N-No… No, you crazy idiot… Wow… Seriously…”

Chung Myung spoke calmly, watching Jo Gul try to catch his breath.

“Hey, you.”

“Huh? What?”

“Throw that jerk out right now. And maybe… clean the floor with salt.”

“…”

“Bad luck at a party. Ugh!”

Yes, Chung Myung, I feel the same way deep down!

But…!

“You can’t just kick out a guest! You crazy idiot!”

“Guest? Who said he’s a guest! I didn’t invite him!”

“No, you should at least find out what’s happening before you hit someone! Why do you always kick first and think later, you little troublemaker?”

“He was probably just talking nonsense. Why should I listen to nonsense? It hurts my ears.”

He’s right! What that jerk said was nonsense!

But still… Wow…

“Q-Quickly apologize!”

“Why?”

“If you hit a guest, you have to apologize! It’s obvious if you’re the host!”

Chung Myung looked at Jo Gul, confused. “Why should I apologize? I’m the owner here.”

“Aren’t they here to celebrate the start of the Cheonwu Alliance?”

“No, so that old man is here to celebrate *our* group, and I’m the owner, so why should I apologize?”

“…”

Jo Gul didn’t know how to explain. He just stood there, speechless. Chung Myung spoke again, sounding bored.

“Guest or not, if they talk nonsense, they should be hit.”

Honestly, Jo Gul wanted to clap. It felt refreshing, like a cool drink on a hot day.

But he couldn’t just enjoy it. He was the one who had to fix this mess!

“Y-You can’t do that anymore!”

“Huh?”

He said with a pale face.

“They are here to celebrate our new group! We need to be nice to them and send them home happy, so the group…”

“What?”

Chung Myung tilted his head. He looked truly confused.

“Are you stupid, Senior Brother?”

“…Huh?”

“Why should we care about what other people think? We’re the leaders!”

“…”

Chung Myung frowned.

“No, if we were going to worry about what others think, we wouldn’t have made this group! If that’s the case, we should just stay in Hwasan and do whatever we want! I made this group to become stronger. So why should I care about others? I made this group to beat up all the people I don’t like!”

What? He really made it for that reason?

No, even if he made it for that reason, how can he say that in front of so many people, you madman!

“Just beat them up if they cause trouble! Or even… get rid of them!”

“…”

I thought I knew him well. No, I thought I understood him.

But sometimes, often, I realize…

‘That idiot is even crazier than I thought. He’s totally insane.’

I don’t know if he thinks before he acts, or acts before he thinks. Either way, it’s scary.

“G-Grrr…”

At that moment, Cheoldamho Yang Kyung, who had been slammed into the floor, trembled and raised his body.

Even though his group was small, it was shocking that their leader was kicked and thrown by a young student. But now, people weren’t even that surprised. Not just the Hwasan students, but everyone watching.

After all, Chung Myung, the “Hwasan Divine Dragon,” was known for even beating up a respected older member of the Wudang sect.

“T-This…”

Yang Kyung groaned, holding his nose. Blood was still flowing, making him look terrible.

Luckily, he couldn’t see his own face. If he saw the big bruise shaped like a footprint on his face, he might pass out.

“Y-You idiot!”

He glared at Chung Myung, his eyes red with anger. People around them swallowed hard. Yang Kyung looked so angry, like he was about to attack again.

But Chung Myung didn’t seem to care about that angry look.

“What are you staring at? Can’t you look properly? I’m going to…”

Oh, please, gods in heaven! No matter how I look at him, this idiot is not a spiritual person!

Please help us! Please!

Yang Kyung gritted his teeth, trying to control his anger. His fists were shaking. You could see how hard he was trying to hold back.

“You!”

He shouted, letting out his anger.

“Is this! Is this how Hwasan treats other groups? Is this?”

Chung Myung’s eyes flashed when he heard that.

“Wait, is that idiot really trying to get killed?”

“Stop, Chung Myung! No more!”

“You idiot, if you hit him again here, it will be too much trouble!”

“Grab him! Stop that idiot!”

The disciples ran forward and grabbed Chung Myung, holding him back.

“Let go! Won’t you let go? Seriously!”

The Hwasan Divine Dragon, growling as if he would burst out at any moment, and the Hwasan disciples clinging to him.

It was a very ordinary daily occurrence in Hwasan, but those who were seeing such a sight for the first time in their lives couldn’t help but doubt their eyes.

‘Isn’t this supposed to be a spiritual group?’

‘Even the most respected leader would be ashamed.’

‘Has the Hwasan Divine Dragon always been like this?’

‘Wait, why is that small person grabbing onto people too?’

This was the moment when everyone saw what Hwasan was really like. Hwasan was becoming very famous, maybe the most famous group around. And Chung Myung, the “Hwasan Divine Dragon,” was expected to become the greatest fighter. Now, everyone was seeing the truth about them.

“No, let go. I won’t hit him. Ah, I said I won’t hit him!”

“You’re going to hit him after saying that!”

“Have I ever hit someone after saying I wouldn’t? Have I ever gone back on my word?”

“Countless times, you idiot!”

“Oh, really?”

Yang Kyung, who had been watching the Hwasan disciples in disbelief, finally couldn’t suppress his anger and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Are you playing with me right now?”

The Hwasan disciples turned to Yang Kyung at his thunderous voice.

“I will tell everyone in the fighting world what happened today! Hwasan bullies those who are weaker! They are so proud and arrogant that they bully a guest who came to celebrate!”

Chung Myung snorted.

“Go ahead.”

“It’s no use regretting it! I will never accept an apology!”

“I said, go ahead.”

“I’m saying again, absolutely…”

“Ah, can’t you understand what I’m saying!”

Chung Myung glared.

“I said do whatever you want, you old man! Who’s stopping you?”

“…”

Yang Kyung flinched and lost his words. He had expected them to back down a little at this point, but he was taken aback by their loud voice.

‘What is wrong with this idiot?’

Anyone with common sense would know he had caused a big problem. People who act without thinking usually realize what they’ve done and become scared afterwards.

But this guy, even after causing such a big incident, wasn’t shrinking back but rather getting even angrier?

“C-Can you deal with the problems this will cause?”

“Why are you worried about that? It’s my problem.”

“…”

“Wow, you’re so nice. Why are you worrying about our problems? And! If you’re going to be nice, you should have been nice from the beginning! Why are you pretending to be nice now? It’s disgusting. I’ll just drain all the blood from your head!”

Heh heh.

Our Chung Myung has become much kinder too. He’s not breaking it, just sucking the blood.

“It’s all done, so get lost. Go ahead and do whatever you want.”

As things weren’t going as he had hoped, Yang Kyung glanced back, trying to get some help. He was trying to gather the opinions of the people gathered here.

But those who met his eyes all slyly looked away, avoiding his gaze. As if they didn’t want to get involved anymore.

‘A-Ah… Why?’

Weren’t these the people who had been raising their voices together on his side just a moment ago? But why were they avoiding his gaze like this now?

Yang Kyung had missed one important thing.

The people here now understood how strong Hwasan was. Before, they spoke up because they thought Hwasan wouldn’t really hurt them, even if it was just to keep up appearances.

But that assumption was cleanly blown away by Chung Myung’s kick.

Hwasan was not a small, unknown group anymore. They were from the Seoseo area, which used to be less important.

Maybe they weren’t as strong in fighting as the top nine biggest groups yet. But their power and reach were bigger than most of those top groups.

What group in the world could make the two strongest groups in the outer regions obey them?

“T-This…”

As the situation was turning out to be unusual, Yang Kyung, cornered, gritted his teeth.

“So, does Hwasan support the groups from the outer regions more than the groups from the main areas?”

This was his last trick.

Groups from the main areas couldn’t answer this easily. If people started saying that groups from the main areas were protecting groups from the outer regions, it could really hurt their image.

But Chung Myung’s answer was totally different from what Yang Kyung expected.

“So what are you going to do?”

“…”

Yang Kyung’s eyes widened in shock.

“So, right now, Hwasan is…”

“No, why does this old man keep asking stupid questions that make my mouth tired? What have you ever done for us? Why should I protect you more than the Ice Palace and the Beast Palace?”

“…”

“Who cares about those outer regions! If you ever call them barbarians again in front of me, I’ll peel your skin off!”

“T-This is too much…”

“What, too much? Ha, you said it. Do you want to see what’s *really* too much?”

The Hwasan disciples, who had loosened their grip a little, grabbed onto Chung Myung again in horror.

“Ah! Please don’t touch our kid!”

“D-Don’t you see that you can’t do that right now!”

“Run! Quickly!”

The Hwasan disciples, who had understood that there was no answer to stopping Chung Myung, desperately shouted at Yang Kyung.

It was right then, as Yang Kyung was floundering, not knowing what to do.

“What’s going on?”

At the low voice, the crowd hurriedly parted to the left and right. And along that path, Hyun Jong slowly walked out.
