Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 144. You and Me, Let's Work Together. (4)

Proofread : Ying

A cold mountain wind blows into his arms.

Hyun Jong's eyes looked far away. Beyond Mount Hua, beyond Huayin City, the faraway land of Namyung

Behind Hyun Jong, who stares far away without saying a word, Hyun Young open his mouth.

"Isn't it time for some news to come by now?"

"Well…."

"Huh, they being indifferent now. It would be nice if they could send us a short notice to see what's going on."

Hyun Sang smiled bitterly at Hyun Young's words.

"They didn't go out to play, they were on a mission. Is there a chance for that?"

"It's frustrating, isn't it? Aren’t you frustrated!"

Hyun Young pretended to hit his chest. Hyun Jong narrows his brow slightly.

"What would I become if an elder like us lacked patient?"

"Sect Leader, what do you want to say? You climb up here like ten times a day and do that."

"……."

Hyun Jong closed his mouth and turned his head away.

Today is the third time he climbed a mountain because he couldn't control his frustrated heart. Now, even Hyun Sang and Hyun Young are following him up the mountain.

"They'll do well."

Hyun Sang quietly takes sides with Hyun Jong. But Hyun Young didn't seem to like it either.

"That is thoughtless goodwill. It can’t be helped. No matter what it is, the child are now dealing with Wudang, don't you worry about it? How can you talk so easily?"

"Aren't these children second to none? They'll do well, they are different from us."

Hyun Young's face is slightly distorted.

"They must be different. They should never be like us."

There was elder’s pain in that word.

They were the ones who witnessed the fall of Mount Hua with their own eyes and experienced it with their own bodies. They have seen countless times people who believed in them turned away, and those who they consider as Sahyung turned their backs on the sect.

In the midst of the chaos, they did not even have good martial art.

Was it the sadness that they remember again?

"They have to be different. They have to live off their own feet. You shouldn't live in poverty like us."

"Mount Hua's honor...…."

When Hyun Sang tried to say something, Hyun Young cut him off.

"What's so important about honor? I'm happy if they're not hungry and be ignored somewhere."

Hyun Sang couldn't say a word and closed his mouth.

Honor and reputation are very important for a sect but that word contains the sincerity of Hyun Young, who has been in charge of the finance hall for decades. So he can't say anything thoughtlessly.

"The children should be Mount Hua's new face."

Hyun Jong shrugged softly.

"We're good enough if we can become fertilizer for them."

It was then.

Hyun Jong's head turns slowly while talking. Unam was running up the mountain from below.

Unam, who climbed the mountain urgently and give courtesy toward the elder them.

"What happened?"

"The small business owner of Huayin has sent us a message from Namyung."

Hyun Jong’s eyes widened slightly..

"Ohh!"

Hyun Jong looked at Unam with a mixed face of anticipation and anxiety. He wanted to say tell the news right now, but he also afraid it's not good news.

That's why he can't bring himself to rush Unam.

But Hyun Young doesn't seem like that.

"Hurry up and talk!"

"Yes, it has been said that our disciple and Wudang's disciples were performing a duel in place of Huayin Sect and Jongdogwan. The child won and Jongdogwan decided to leave the Namyung!"

Hyunjong opens his eyes wide.

"Is that true?"

"The small business owner has already checked it several times. So it must be true."

"Wudang and a duel. You're saying the child won a duel with Wudang?"

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Haha. Hahaha."

Hyun Jong could not continue his words and burst out laughing.

Hyun Sang says with a big smile.

"Look at that. Didn't I say the children were different?"

Hyun Sang, who knows the skills of the children who went to Namyung, could not imagine the children losing to their peers.

However, one thing that bothered him was that he couldn't know exactly the skills of Wudang’s disciples, but even that has been resolved now.

"What about Huayin Sect?"

"It seems that Huayin Sect stayed in Namyung and started accepting disciple again."

"That's great."

Hyun Young also smiled brightly.

"I knew they could do it! Ah, what kind of bastards they are!"

"Huh, they beat Wudang."

"That's a great thing. The children made Mount Hua’s name shine once again. And one day...…."

Hyun Sang shut his mouth as he was about to say something.

It was a very sensitive issue, so he couldn't bring himself to speak.

If Second and third-class disciples grow up like this, there will come a day when Mount Hua will return to the Ten Great Sect again.

It's like a dream, so he can't say it in words easily.

"Right. Did the children say they would come back?"

"I haven't been contacted directly, so I don't know that far. But there's nothing left to do in Namyung, won't they come back now?"

"Well, I guess so."

Hyun Jong smiled and looked back at Hyun Young.

"Finance Elder."

As his title is called, Hyun Young also straightens his posture.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Shouldn't we be prepared to welcome the children back after their hard work?"

"Don't worry. I'll prepare well."

"Right, They'll be back in about three days."

Hyun Jong looked again at the faraway land of Namyung with warm eyes.

'You've worked hard, child.'

And it was then.

Hyun Young opened his mouth as if he was curious.

"But it's kind of fascinating."

"What do you mean?"

"It looks like Chung Myung didn't cause any trouble. If he had done something, the news would have been the first to hear."

Hyun Jong burst into laughter.

"He is also a Taoist. If he does something on the inside, should he do the same on the outside?"

"That’s right."

"Through this incident, the world will know for sure that our Mount Hua has not yet fallen. And they will also know that the disciples of Mount Hua are second to none in the world. Now we have to work harder."

"Of course, Sect Leader."

"Yes, yes."

Hyun Jong smiled brightly.

His gaze was crystal clear and transparent.

But...

The people here didn't know.

What 'that' Chung Myung is doing right now.

Things in the world never work out the way they want them to. Especially when it comes to Chung Myung.

* * *

"So...."

The elder of Wudang, Heo San-ja, stopped staring at the front and turned his head to look at Jin Hyun.

"As you said before……."

"……Yes."

"There is no other sect in Namyung other than Huayin Sect."

"Yes."

"Namyung itself is no different from the countryside, so there will not be many people who see it, right?"

"That's right."

Heo San-ja looks forward again. After giving Jin Hyun alternate glances several times, he opened his mouth with frustration.

"Then what did all those people mean?"

"That is……."

Jin Hyun also looked forward blankly.

Well, what should he say about that?

Crowd?

Or a bunch of people?

People were filling the gate of Namyung. The problem is that those people are not occupying the gate of Namyung, but are about to enter Namyung.

In other words...It means that the millions of people they see now are only a part of the men heading Namyung.

In addition, everyone must be of Murim, given that they are wearing a sect's symbol in their sword around the waist.

"……Uh."

Jin Hyun knew it intuitively.

‘He definitely did something again!'

Otherwise, this cannot be explained. In Jin Hyun's head, Chung Myung's face come to his mind.

Crack.

Jin Hyun, who grinds his teeth, speaks low.

"Maybe Mount Hua guys have done something."

"……Something?"

"And spread the treasure map."

Heo San-ja's pupils shake slightly.

"...That, spreading it? What the hell are they thinking?"

It is impossible to accurately measure the value of Sword Tomb. Isn't that the reason why Wudang put their life into it?

And they are just going to spread that precious piece of information?

'Is that what a sane human being would do?'

Heo San-ja looked at the entrance of Namyung with eyes that were speechless. Heo San-ja, who is considered to have a particularly calm nature even within Wudang, could not help but panic at this moment.

He has heard countless times on the way here that the Mount Hua Divine Dragon or something is insane. But he didn't expect him to go this far.

"No matter how much he spread the news, can people gather here in just three days?"

“…They seem to have leaked information that Sword Tomb is near Namyung. Doesn't it look like all the Murim people around Namyeong came?"

"Ugh."

Heo San-ja's eyebrows twitched.

This is what they wanted to avoid the most. The Sword Tomb is a place where its existence alone can bring blood. That's why they were trying to work things secretly.

‘It is a malicious trick.’

Heo San-ja immediately noticed the situation.

This isn't something anyone did for Sword Tomb. This is what someone did to prevent Wudang from entering Sword Tomb alone and excavating it.

"Did you say the child who took the map was Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"

"That's right."

‘What the hell is he doing?'

The more he thought about it, the more it gets.

'How could a little child devise such a poisonous trick?'

It means ‘if I can't eat it, neither will you'. No, it means that ‘even if you eat it, you should go through a lot of hardships’.

Heo San-ja's gives strength to his closed lips at the deep malice that comes from Namyung.

"What should we do, Elder?"

Heo San-ja's eyes sank heavily at Jin Hyun's vague question.

It is true that he was perplexed, but he can't just stay surprised.

"The fact that such a people heading to Namyung... means that they haven't solved the map yet, right?"

"It seems so."

"Well."

Saliva flowed out of Heo San-ja's mouth.

‘Vicious... It is indeed vicious.’

The idea of holding them back is good, but it's not Wudang to be caught by the ankle easily.

"Then it won't make a difference. The plan to avoid people's eyes went wrong, but it doesn't matter as long as we can get into Sword Tomb first."

The eyes of Wudang disciples became firm.

"Look."

He pointed to the front. There were people who glanced at their side. Some of them were even openly glancing while talking to each other.

"We already drawn attention. If we start moving, they'll somehow try to sabotage us."

"Yes."

"Only one. Don't forget. We are Wudang. If we put our minds to it, no one in the world can stand in our way!"

"Yes, Elder!"

The name of Wudang ignites their hearts.

"We are just trying to avoid the hassle, not fear the world. Everyone will now know that fact."

Heo San-ja, who looked back at everyone, spoke in a cold voice.

"Get ready, we'll go to Sword Tomb."
