Return of the Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 583

Wong Kang, the leader of the Red Tiger bandits, listened to the report with interest.

So, youre saying they ventured into the city and were ?

Yes. It didnt seem like they were killed, though.

They must be either dead or imprisoned. Thats the only explanation.

Yes, it appears so, leader.

Tsk tsk. That damned beast finally did something outrageous.

Im So-Byeong was not an easy man to deal with.

He wouldnt have been able to control the Green Forest for such a long time if he had been. Many said he lacked strength, but Wong Kang thought differently.

Its not that he lacked martial arts skills, but its impressive that he managed to hold the position of King for this long with his limited strength.

Although the presence of the Ten Thousand People Clan caused discontent, if anyone other than Im So-Byeong had been in his position, they would have been dead within a month.

However, Im So-Byeong maintained his position as the Green Forest King through his actions alone. Didnt the fact that these three rival bandits had to unite against him prove his greatness?

Since they acted openly against Im So-Byeong, it was only natural that they would face consequences.

They paid the price for acting without thinking.

Does Go Hong have any plans?

Go Hong was the opposite of Im So-Byeong.

If Im So-Byeong overcame his lack of strength with intelligence, behavior, and background, then Go Hong was someone who relied solely on his strength.

Its better for Im So-Byeong to hold the position than for a man like him to be the Green Forest King.

Hehe. Leader, how can that madman even dare to claim the position of the King? Of course, that role should go to you, leader.

Thats a given.

Wong Kang chuckled.

If you push him just right, he will fall on his own.

People said he was putting on airs because he hadnt yet managed to catch Im So-Byeong, but Go Hongs patience was thin. It was clear that the moment that Im So-Byeong was secured and the position of King was freed, the urgency would be revealed.

If Wong Kang then takes the time to step up at that time and isolate Go Hong appropriately, it wouldnt be a dream to take the position of the Green Forest King.

But, leader, you need to be careful.

Hmm?

Wong Kang frowned slightly at those words.

What do you mean?

Mount Hua.

Mount Hua?

Yes. Even though it was within the city, didnt the bandit party get defeated without much effort? This means that Mount Huas power is greater than expected.

he is like that too.

Wong Kang scratched his chin.

It was clear that Im So-Byeongs plan worked well, but wouldnt a plan work if it had the minimum strength to execute it as planned?

This meant that at least Mount Hua had the strength to do it.

But there is nothing bad about it. The stronger the enemy, the better. The main base and Mount Hua will use up each others strength.

That is true.

If those people werent insane, they wouldnt climb a mountain with three bandit groups placed together. And since that Go Hong bastard isnt going to sit quietly and let himself be humiliated, we just have to wait until the Great Star Bandits cannot stand it anymore and go to fight Mount Hua down the mountain.

Yes, leader.

Wong Kang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Whether it was the desire to become the Green Forest King or Mount Hua, which came here for the sake of useless ideas of justice, everyone looked stupid.

The moment when Wong Kang smiled with a satisfied look.

Kwaaang!

W-what!

He jumped up at the ear-splitting sound that came, but the ceiling collapsed before he could turn his head.

A fence?

Crack!

Giant trees attacked the houses, and the entire building began to collapse.

Crack!

A large wooden pillar whizzed past his face.

His eyes widened in shock.

What nonsense is this!

L-leader is everything okay!?

Crack.

Instead of answering, Wong Kang gritted his teeth.

He wasnt the type to be defeated by a mere tree, but the sudden situation tested his patience.

What are you doing, you fools! Go and check what happened!

Yes, leader!

His dust-covered subordinates ran outside. Wong Kang clenched his fists.

Since this couldnt happen without reason, it meant that someone had attacked them.

Go Hong?

He took a step forward, the most likely suspect in his mind.

As he climbed over the rubble, he saw warriors rushing in, leaping over the shattered and collapsed wooden fence.

Its an attack!

Leader! Its an attack!

I have eyes, too!

Wong Kang shouted loudly, his blood boiling.

Could it be the Great Star Bandits?

Initially, he thought that the treaty had been broken and the Great Star Bandits had chosen to attack them, but the uniforms of the rushing bandits were clearly different from those at the main base.

What is that!?

M-Mount Hua sect!

Mount Hua?

Yes, the plum blossom pattern on their chests makes it clear!

T-this is madness! Why would the Mount Hua sect invade this place?

There was no way that anyone with a shred of common sense would attack a group of over 1,500 people with just a hundred. This wasnt a matter of numbers; even a child who had just learned to walk wouldnt agree to this fight.

But right now, the same absurd thing was happening before his eyes.

Why is the Mount Hua sect, which should be somewhere else, here!

He could feel his rage building.

Did this mean that all his plans had been ruined!

Leader!

Damn it! Stop them! Smash their heads!

Yes!

Although attacked suddenly, Wong Kang wasnt easily pushed around, so he reacted without panicking.

The Red Tiger Bandits, who received the orders, roared and rushed to confront the disciples of Mount Hua.

Cut off their heads!

Skin them alive!

They spat out harsh words to assert their identity. However, this wasnt merely a display of their rage.

Those from the justice sect, who assessed others skills through sparring and manners before a fight, were bound to be shocked when such vicious words were thrown at them.

This momentum would overwhelm them even if they didnt get flustered or panicked. This was a tactic they learned from their experiences dealing with the Justice sect.

However

Coincidentally, the people they were dealing with now were not ordinary justice faction members.

How dare these worthless things use their mouths! I will knock them down!

I am going to throw them off the cliffs!

Lets see if you can talk after I stick a plum branch into your mouth!

Contrarily, the bandits who were gaining momentum flinched without even realizing it as they saw the Mount Hua disciples charging in with a more vicious look than them.

What? These bastards?

Are they really from the justice faction?

The Mount Hua disciples had red eyes and they instantly overwhelmed the bandits.

How could they even know?

For them, things like life and shouts were nothing more than childs play, which they encountered every day.

Compared to Chung Myungs viciousness and sharp sarcasm, which felt like it was digging out their stomachs with a needle, the bandits swearing was peaceful.

Mount Huas disciples overpowered them and attacked the bandits.

UGHHHH!

DIEEEE!

They rushed in with extremely violent force, scattering elaborate and splendid sword energy that didnt match their ferocity.

Ah!

P-Plum blossom?

The bandits eyes widened when they saw the flower-like sword qi rise. The sword qi, which bloomed beautifully, soon burrowed into their vulnerable parts.

Ackk!

Ahkk!

The bandits cut down in an instant, fell on the spot, screaming and falling back. As the battle line collapsed instantly, the disciples of Mount Hua seized the opportunity and rushed forward with fierce force.

D-defeat them!

The name of Mount Hua rests on our shoulders!

Chung Myung is watching us from behind!

What? No, you bastard!

Such a strange sight.

The force looked terrifying, and the killing intent of the Forces of Evil was palpable. However, the technique that came from their swords was so clean.

The bandits were flustered. They had never seen such a strange sight.

These people

Meanwhile, Chung Myung, who was watching the scene from behind, smiled. It seemed like the disciples of Mount Hua were in perfect control of the situation.

Even a dog is confident in eating the food in the yard.

It was because they had confidence. But now, they had more than just confidence.

If you strike first, make sure to land the final blow!

Chung Myung raised his hand and pointed ahead.

Go now, Sasuk! Sago! Sahyung! Break their backs!

Oh my! Here we go, you bastard!

Anyway, its real!

Everyone was cursing from their mouths, but they had already moved when Chung Myung stretched out his fingers.

Baek Cheon, Yu Yiseol, Yoon Jong, and Jo Gul, who ran like lightning, jumped over the other disciples and soared into the sky.

Wong Kang was shocked.

The image of four people with no wings soaring into the air was so remarkable that it made his heart stop.

AhHH!

The four men simultaneously descended on the bandits head and slashed the air with their swords.

Soon, the plum blossoms bloomed.

The flower both bloomed and fell at the same time.

Plum blossoms, identical in their shapes and beauty, showered the bandits in a floral rain.

From a distance, it was a truly beautiful sight, but it was terrifying for the bandits in the midst of it.

The flowers relentlessly pierced their bodies.

The Mount Hua sword descended upon those who fainted without uttering a scream.

Kuak.

Baek Cheon, gripping his sword tightly, aimed it at the retreating bandits with a cold expression.

Show them clearly what Mount Hua is like!

OHHHH!

Those at the forefront led the charge, their shouts echoing for all to hear. Everyone, led by the Five Swords of Mount Hua, swung their swords with fierce determination.

We are the Mount Hua sect!

Here I go!

Plum blossoms bloomed, even when unobserved.

Having endured the harsh winter, the plum blossoms finally revealed their radiant and gorgeous appearance to the world.

If someone were to recount this moment in the future, it would be described thus.

It was the day when Mount Hua, after enduring prolonged hardship, finally raised its old and weathered sword and began to display its might to the world.

Mount Hua was finally back.
