Chapter 808
“Let’s see…”
Chung Myung’s eyes turned to Evil Tyrant Alliance across from him.
“I don’t like those bastards either.”
Then, he looked down on the cliff disapprovingly.
“I don’t like these bastards either.”
He soon clicked his tongue with a sour face.
“There are so few people in the world that I like. It’s a worry. A real worry!”
Then, Yoon Jong stood close behind and whispered.
“Hey, Chung Myung.”
“What?”
“You’re just saying that, aren’t you? You’re actually trying to help the Ten Great Sect down there, aren’t you?”
Chung Myung looked at Yoon Jong as if he looked at a pathetic creature.
“No, did this yangban have some kind of disease? Do I think those bastards are cute and need to be helped? I’d rather pour oil on them and set them on fire.”
“….â€?
“Why? Is it because they are Righteous Sect?”
“Tha- That’s not it, you punk!”
“Huh?”
Yoon Jong desperately gestured downwards.
“It’s right there, there!”
“What?”
Since Chung Myung seemed utterly clueless, Yoo Iseol’s eyebrows furrowed, and she helped Yoon Jong.
“Monk Hye Yeon. Down there!”
“Huh?”
“Right! Monk Hye Yeon is down there! No, Ten Great Sect or whatever shit it is, we should save Monk Hye Yeon!”
“That’s right, Sahyung!”
It was only then that Chung Myung’s eyes showed signs of ‘oops’.
“….Now that I think about it, he’s over there.â€?
Hye Yeon’s appearance was visible in the middle of Shaolin, looking up at them. His big eyes, like those of a cow, twinkling with sadness, made others couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye if one is a human being. Chung Myung glanced at the cow and said.
“But….”
“Huh?”
“When a monk dies, they build a stupa and be cremated, right?â€?
“…Why all of a sudden?”
“No. I mean…..â€?
Chung Myung scratched the back of his head and smirked.
“It’s going to end like that anyway, but wouldn’t it be fair to think of setting a fire beforehand to cremate him?”
“What are you talking about, you madman!”
“You’re supposed to talk like sense!”
“Are you even human? Are you?”
In the end, Five Swords rushed in and grabbed Chung Myung by the collar and shake him violently. They all seemed to have lost their minds, not even noticing Jang Ilso or whatever was near them.
Chung Myung protested as if he were innocent.
“No! Isn’t Buddhism all about letting go of attachments? And clinging to life is the biggest attachment! This could be considered me helping, right?”
“You rascal! You damned rascal!”
“You deserve to be scolded!”
Yoon Jong slapped Chung Myung’s mouth, and Yoo Iseol tapped Chung Myung’s head with a sword.
“Hey! Don’t bother me and let go! Then we can do it like this! Hey! Hye Yeon!”
Chung Myung pushed Yoo Iseol and Yoon Jong away and shouted loudly. Hye Yeon looked at him and twinkled his big eyes, unaware of what happened.
“You, come up!”
“…Yes?”
“Just come up. One person coming up won’t cause those guys to have a seizure, right?”
“….â€?
“If you come up, it will be solved neatly. Come up quickly!�
Hye Yeon smiled brightly.
He had known he was crazy, but…
‘He’s crazier than I thought. Beyond imagination.”
Now Chung Myung is proving with his whole body that a madman doesn’t care about time or place.
“…How am I supposed to leave mu Sahyung and go up there, Siju?â€?
“Huh? You’re not coming?”
“I can’t….â€?
“Keuu. As expected, our fake monk is loyal. Then you can accompany them below the ground as well.”
“….â€?
Pure dew formed around Hye Yeon’s eyes.
‘How did I ever want to see such a guy, even for a moment?’
Even after enduring all that……
Meanwhile, Baek Hyeonja lost what he had to say and stared blankly at Chung Myung.
Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.
“…How can he be so frivolous?”
“There’s no other madman but him.”
A sense of discomfort that Namgung Hwang could not erase was evident on his face.
Certainly, Chung Myung’s behavior went too far. However, there were two people, and only two, who looked at Chung Myung with different eyes.
One of them was Heo Dojin, whose eyes sank heavily.
‘That’s not something you can do just because you want to.’
In the end, since humans are beasts, they are bound to feel a sense of crisis instinctively. Even someone who runs naked in a thunderstorm cannot run as usual when a sword is pushed into their throat.
But now Chung Myung is running wilder than usual.
‘It means that neither Shaolin nor Wudang, nor even Myriad Man Manor and Black Ghost Fortress, can make that child tense.’
He knows Mount Hua Divine Dragon is not an idiot who doesn’t understand the situation. Rather, he calculates excessively quickly and accurately captures the flow of events.
The self-indulgence of a person who ignorant of the situation is foolishness, but if it’s from the act of a person who knows the situation, wouldn’t it be confidence?
‘Is it that he even has this situation under his feet?’
Heo Dojin bit his lips.
So far, he has highly rated Chung Myung. Few people appreciate Chung Myung more than him in this world. But at this moment, Heo Dojin couldn’t get rid of the doubt that his assessment of Chung Myung was completely wrong.
And there was one more person, besides Heo Dojin, who looked at Chung Myung with different eyes.
Jang Ilso slowly opened his mouth.
“You’re not going to continue this boring skit, are you, Mount Hua Divine Dragon?”
Chung Myung threw a sharp look at Jang Ilso.
“I told you to shut your trap.â€?
“I’d love to, but you know too. If I don’t open my mouth, this standoff will continue forever.”
Chung Myung scratched his head without a word. It came out of Jang Ilso’s mouth, but he knew that wasn’t wrong.
“Right, then talk. Watch what you say instead. If you babble nonsense, I’ll strike you down without a second look.”
Everyone who heard that opened their mouths wide.
Earlier, he had told him to shut up, but now he says not to babble nonsense. Even Bop Jeong, Bangjang of Shaolin, wouldn’t dare treat Jang Ilso like that.
What’s harder to understand is that Jang Ilso didn’t look particularly upset after being scolded by the young brat.
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold who had been silently watching, twisted his lips and laughed.
“He’s exceptional.”
“Even those words aren’t enough.�
Jang Ilso nodded and gazed at Chung Myung. Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold thought that his expression seemed somehow pleasant.
‘Really, is there something that connects crazy people?’
It’s a truly bizarre thing.
If one were to consider the status in Kangho, Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s fame is actually slightly higher than that of Jang Ilso. And one wouldn’t even dare to compare him with that brat called Mount Hua Divine Dragon.
Such Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold could not dare to intervene in the conversation between the two.
These two had different powers, something that had nothing to do with the fame or status discussed in Kangho. Something else they don’t know, which can’t be just called madness.
Jang Ilso’s red lips drew lines.
“How is it, Mount Hua Divine Dragon? The gift I prepared?â€?
“…What the hell are you talking about?”
“Now that it’s come to this, there’s nothing to hide between us, right? Of course, you’ll want to tear me to death, don’t you?”
“You know well.”
“But at the same time, you are someone who can collaborate with your enemy if it’s for what you want.”
“….â€?
Jang Ilso’s smiling face, smiling brightly, looked bizarre at first glance.
“We create relationships by weaving one sect with another, gathering those who can never seem to get together under one roof. This is something that can’t be done unless you’ve surrendered to your desires.â€?
“You seem to be mistaken, but that’s not the case with Heavenly Comrade Alliance.”
“No. It isn’t, Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
Jang Ilso shook his head.
“It doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you don’t intend to be satisfied with this much. You want Heavenly Comrade Alliance to grow bigger! Even more! Enough to voraciously devour everything! More!”
Chung Myung’s eyes sank.
“Do you even know me? You’re babbling like you know me very well?”
“I know. I have no choice but to know. Because we’re similar.”
Chung Myung’s face twisted violently.
“Do you not know that not everything that comes out of that busted mouth is true? I told you I wouldn’t let it slide if you spout nonsense.”
“No, no. We look exactly alike.â€?
Jang Ilso scoured Chung Myung with a meaningful gaze.
“The fact that you never know satisfaction.”
“….â€?
It was not Chung Myung who flinched at the words, but the disciples of Mount Hua who were standing by his side.
‘I really can’t deny that.’
If Jang Ilso is the incarnation of desire, Chung Myung is the same as the incarnation of greed. Didn’t Mount Hua grow so fast thanks to Chung Myung’s greed?
It is Chung Myung who is never satisfied even after achieving growth that other sects could not even imagine in a short period of time and come all the way to the Yangtze River to stir up another matter.
“So, look. Mount Hua Divine Dragon. Will there be a better opportunity than this?”
“….â€?
“As long as there are Ten Great Sect and Five Great Family, Evil Tyrant Alliance and Heavenly Comrade Alliance have no choice but to face limitations. But… if we can perish them, Evil Tyrant Alliance and Heavenly Comrade Alliance can share the vast land of northern land!”
Everyone saw Chung Myung as just Chung Myung.
But only Jang Ilso sees Chung Myung’s ‘disposition’ correctly. His current opponent is not only Mount Hua Divine Dragon Chung Myung, a disciple of Mount Hua, but also Chung Myung, the decision-maker of Heavenly Comrade Alliance.
“Morality, justice, Righteousness… I’m sure you know how worthless such words are. You must also understand how disgusting it is for them to argue about such things!”
Chung Myung just stared at him across the distance without answering. Jang Ilso smiled, calming down his exasperated voice.
“Help me, Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
“….â€?
“Not a single ant will survive. We will not let anyone go alive from here. Then no one in the world will know what happened here. Evil Tyrant Alliance will take all the blame for killing them. You just have to stand there and watch.”
Jang Ilso spread his arms lightly. His red cloak fluttered in the wind, and his ornaments jingled charmingly.
“Then you can have half of the world in your hands.”
“….â€?
“It’s not them that we’re bringing down. What falls here is the regime of Ten Great Sect and the Five Great Family that has continued for the last hundred years! The world turns upside down right here! You and I will overturn this world together!”
Every word of Jang Ilso was filled with conviction.
Baek Cheon was thrown back unknowingly.
It felt like an insurmountable pressure was pushing him away.
‘Jang Ilso….’
The pure, almost black madness he exuded was covering this cliff.
Heo Dojin’s eyes trembled.
‘What in the world… is he blabbering about now?’
The Heavenly Comrade Alliance joining hands with Evil Tyrant Alliance to attack the Ten Great Sect?
‘What nonsensical rubbish…’
Such a thing could never happen. No, it must not happen. How could it happen that the Evil Sect and the Righteous Sect would join forces to attack the Righteous Sect?
But contrary to the fierce backlash from common sense that Heo Dojin had, his reason was constantly whispering that this was not an impossible story.
His wavering eyes followed Chung Myung.
The core of the Ten Great Sect and Five Great Family is gathered here. If they were to be annihilated here, the Ten Great Sect would only remain as an empty shell.
Could the Ten Great Sect without Shaolin and Wudang, and the Five Great Family without Namgung and Sichuan Tang, withstand their joint attack?
‘It’s absolutely impossible.’
No. Even if they could withstand it, it would be the same.
Even if the Ten Great Sect won the lengthy war, there would be no place left for Shaolin, Wudang, Namgung, and Qingcheng.
Whatever the outcome may be, these four sects may eventually disappear from the history of Kangho, depending on Chung Myung’s decision.
‘This can never happen!’
No matter how much Mount Hua has a grudge against them…….
Heo Dojin gasped for breath at that moment.
‘Even though there’s a grudge?’
What is he trying to say?
That even if there’s a grudge, one must abide by morality? Even though the Ten Great Sect is the first side that breaks the rules?
“….â€?
At that moment, Heo Dojin realized how he was pushing harsh standards against Mount Hua, packaging themselves up in the name of the Righteous Sect.
The harsh standards that he thought he knew but actually didn’t.
And so, he couldn’t help but think.
If he were in the same position, would he fight to protect those who had stood by as his sect burned? To keep his own morality?
When he could just step back and watch?
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.
It was simply Mount Hua returning what the Ten Great Sect did in the past. But that’s the wrong choice. Can he simply criticize that choice as wrong?
Heo Dojin twisted his face and opened his mouth.
“Mount Hua Divine….â€?
But before him, Chung Myung, who had been silently standing and listening to Jang Ilso’s words, opened his mouth.
