Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 152. Let me tell you what true heartlessness is (2)

The end of the cave led to another cave. If anything else, unlike the caves they have been through, there's Yamyeongju (Luminous Pearl) again. 

"……doesn't this seem to repeat itself subtly, Sahyung?"

"Um. It seems like that. Moreover, I'm not sure yet, but I think the space where this Yamyeongju is embedded is safe as long as you don't do useless things. As long as you don't do useless things."

Hong Dae-gwang sighed low as he watched Baek Chun secretly looking back at himself while saying that.

"……there are times when people make mistakes."

"I didn't say anything specific, Daehyup."

‘Yes, Daehyup, you still call me Daehyup. I'm so thankful that I'm crying.’

On his way here, Hong Dae-gwang discovered some strange things after observing Mount Hua’s disciples.

The first was that unlike Chung Myung that who knows where his mind is, the disciples of Mount Hua know their manners as if they were disciples of a prestigious sect.

Of course, at first glance, words and actions that are similar to Chung Myung's can be seen, but it's not that obvious because Chung Myung is hanging around next to them right now.

‘And they’re very strong.’

Beggar Union’s disciples suffered major and minor injuries as they struggled through the cave where Mala Blood Sucking was located. Paralytic poison penetrated through the wound, making it difficult to move.

It was not life-threatening, but it was inevitable that the escape from the cave would have slowed down. But Mount Hua's disciples were not hurt in the face of such a dire situation.

Because of luck?

‘No way.’

Once or twice may be luck. But if the luck persists, it's bound to be a skill.

"I have a question for Righteous Sword."

"Please call me Baek Chun. It's embarrassing."

"Okay, then, Baek Chun Sohyup."

"Yes."

"Are disciples in Mount Hua similar to those here?"

Baek Chun opened his mouth as if he was a little worried.

"I don't think so. Yoon Jong or Jo-Gol is the most advanced of the third-class disciples, and I and Yoo Samae are among the top disciple of second-class disciples. But that doesn't mean the ability of the remaining disciples in Mount Hua is much lower than ours."

Saying that Baek Chun glanced back at Chung Myung.

It is the skill they developed while being bullied by that beast. There is no reason for anyone to lag far behind. 

"……I see."

Hong Dae-gwang's face got a little serious.

The place where he is in charge being head branch is Nakyang Branch Beggar Union. Nakyang is considered a big city in Jungwon, and as such, talented people were deployed among the beggars. (Mtl says midfield so it may be central plain as in the middle of the continent)

Of course, due to the nature of the Beggar Union that pushes quantity rather than quality, beggars who follow them are not comparable to other elite sects. But even so, it wasn't low enough to be beaten anywhere.

By the way, aren't the disciple of Mount Hua here clearly showing better performance than those of the Nakyang Branch guys?

If indeed other disciples of Mount Hua are on a par with the skills of disciples in here, how much of their power should Beggar Union assess?

'Besides, there's that monster.' 

‘That one sword I saw a while ago doesn't disappear from my eyes. No, maybe I'll never forget it. I've never seen such a fantastic sword technique in my life.’

What if that Chung Myung grows, leads Mount Hua, and the disciple grows together to support it?

‘It’s not an exaggeration to call it true resurrection.'

Back in the day, Mount Hua was one of the leading figures in the Ten Great Sect. If their power hadn’t been greatly damaged in the war in Magyo base and the main sect had not collapsed due to the evil act of Magyos, they would not have been in the same situation as it is now.

However, as long as the disciple grows, it does not seem too difficult to regain their power in the past. Especially if that Chung Myung continues to run rampant with that momentum.

"Head Branch..."

Hong Dae-gwang, who was immersed in thought, frowned slightly as he looked at the Beggar Union’s disciple as they struggling and panting. 

"Mount Hua Divine Dragon. I know you're in a hurry, but can we take a break? I need time to examine our disciples."

"Well, go ahead."

Hong Dae-gwang flinched as Chung Myung surprisingly nodded coolly.

"What?"

"No, you are agreeing to it easily." (The raw is 답지 않게 너무 간단히 허락하니까.)

"Of course, people are sick."

"……thank you."

Hong Dae-gwang looked at Chung Myung with new eyes.

'Is there a temperament of Daehyup?'

Just because they are called Daehyup, they may not all have the same tendency, but if there is one thing that must be possessed, it is the mind that puts people first over profits.

However, Chung Myung, who seemed unlikely at all, said that he prioritized people.

‘The more I see him, the more I don't know him.'

Hong Dae-gwang tilted his head and approached Beggar Union’s disciple.

In the meantime, however, Chung Myung had his eyes fixed to the front, slightly narrowing his forehead. His nerves were concentrated in the distance.

‘The waves are spreading.’

Life and death are pouring out from quite a distance. This means that those who have been in a big battle or have fallen into a trap are fighting something.

'There is no need to go and fight for nothing.'

If he waits patiently, they will clear the way for him. Isn't that why Chung Myung deliberately picked out only the toughest ones and brought them inside? 

They're happy to enter Sword Tomb, and Chung Myung is happy to advance easily.

There may be other traps lurking in there. If things like Mala Blood Sucking bat that he saw earlier continue to come out, no matter how strong Chung Myung is, they will eventually be exhausted and fall.

Chung Myung learned from his long experience in combat that the way to survive in such a place is to save even a drop of physical strength to be squeezed out until the very end.

When the atmosphere of rest is created, everyone in the party leans against the wall and sits down. At the same time, they seemed to be careful not to trigger any trap.

"Gosh."

Sitting on the ground, Yoon Jong sighed deeply and lamented.

"Ten lives are not enough in a place like this."

"You're exaggerating." 

Chung Myung grinned and Yoon Jong looked up at him.

'He looks like he's used to this.'

No matter how big the wall is, if you've never experienced it before, you will get bewildered.

Going step by step where there is no proper light and where there may be a trap lurking made a person more tired than expected. They also had to be nervous and pay attention the whole time. 

And yet Chung Myung was still nonchalant.

"Aren't you tired?"

"What have you done to make you tired? It's only the beginning."

"……beginning?"

"Immortal Medicine, if the man called Talgeum Muheun-un determined to set up a trap, it wouldn't have ended like this. It's not as if there's nothing at all." (The raw 아예 아무것도 없다면 모를까)

Yoon Jong narrowed the gap between his eyes.

He was not dissatisfied with that statement. The part he focused on was "intentionally".

"Talegum, why did Immortal Medicine build this place?"

"Huh?"

"……If he wanted to leave Chaos Origin Pills, he can just leave it. It is also the same if he wants to leave a treasure. But why did he create a trap like this and endanger those who entered his grave?"

"I know."

Chung Myung smiled bitterly.

Yoon Jong's doubts continued.

"At first, I was going to leave it be, but the more I think about it, the more strange it is. Especially when I think of the name Immortal Medicine. He's a good man who's treated a lot of sick people and created more young people. That's why he called Yakseon (Immortal Medicine)."

"Right."

"But the true nature of Immortal Medicine is Talgeum Muheun-un, and why Talgeum made such a tomb... I do not understand at all."

"You don't have to understand."

"Huh?"

Chung Myung said with a grin.

"There's only one thing I'm sure about people."

"What's that?"

"You can never understand someone perfectly."

"……."

Chung Myung shrugged.

"Even a person who I thought I knew very well once in a while showed a completely unexpected side of him, how do I know what the thought of someone from two hundred years ago? It's enough for us to just keep it here or take it out. The intentions are of no importance."

It was a realistic remark.

But it was also a very cold remark.

Chung Myung said so, but it was hard for Yoon Jong to dispel the idea that the tomb had Immortal Medicine's intentions.

‘What is Immortal Medicine trying to convey to the people in this tomb?'

Then, Chung Myung, who caught a glimpse of him in agony, said.

"That's not it." 

"Huh?"

"It’s not about how he became one. The question is, why did Immortal Medicine become Talgeum Muheun-un?" (If I have to say it, it means No Trace of Sword or Masked Unsword, as he doesn’t have high martial art skill.)

"……Ah."

Yoon Jong made a slightly surprised face.

He didn't think that far.

Immortal Medicine is the one who has built up his name through the pills refinement method.  He was a person who won enough fame and glory even if he did not enter the world as Talgeum Mueheun-un.

Why would such a man wear a mask and grab a sword?

Yoon Jong looked at Chung Myung quietly.

It feels like Chung Myung knows something. This unbearable Sajil is younger than anyone else but sometimes shows a depth that he can't keep up with.

"What?"

"No, I was wondering if you had any idea."

Chung Myung smirks.

"What's so important about that?"

"Huh?"

"If Immortal Medicine had any other intentions, would he leave Chaos Origin Pills nicely?"

"……I don't think so." 

"That's enough. I don't care about old people's circumstances. What's important is that there may be Chaos Origin Pills here."

"Right."

"I'll take it even if I die. By all means!"

Looking at Chung Myung's blazing eyes, Yoon Jong sighed slightly.

'It's good because it's simple.' 

Sometimes he envies Chung Myung's personality like that. 

Because he doesn't think about it.

Although it may be just in the outside.

At that time, Yoo Iseol handed Chung a bottle of water she had brought. Chung Myung drank water from her without hesitation. And suddenly asked Hong Dae-gwang.

"Mr. beggar! Are you almost done?"

"The antidote seems to be working."

"You packed an antidote to paralysis?"

"To be exact, it is an antidote to paralytic acid. I don't know who I'm going to meet here. I tried it just in case, but it works."

"Ho!"

Chung Myung looked at Hong Dae-gwang with new eyes.

"What? What do you think of this old man Hong Dae-kwang! In Murim, this one is called one of the prominent people in Beggar Union!" (The raw is 개방의 지낭으로)

"Oh, yes, yes."

"Yes."

Hong Dae-gwang shakes his head when the reaction he gets is not good. W What's the point of saying this to him?

"Once you've finished detoxing, we'll go." 

"By the way, how far does this Sword Tomb go? The distance we've come won't be short."

Chung Myung shrugged.

"The caves are gently curved, so the actual distance traveled will be short."

"……Really?"

"Even so, there's a limit to making space underground like this. We’ll see the end soon."

"Hmm. All right. I got it." 

The party rose again and began to prepare. Watching the scene, Chung Myung gave a subtle look.

It's not a lie to say that the end is about to come.

The problem is that there will certainly be others who reach that end. 

‘It's malicious.’

Recalling the name of Immortal Medicine, Chung Myung raised the corners of his mouth. 

"Let's see what else you have."

Chung Myung put on an evil smile.
