Chapter 542: Sect Leader Sahyung. The Kids Are All Grown Up (2)

I think I will extend my lifespan a bit more.

My physical strength has finally returned.

The disciples of Mount Hua and Hae Yeon settled down and tested their bodies, rotating their shoulders and cracking their necks. They felt a noticeable lightness in their bodies.

Kuak, this oil is truly impressive.

Just a single drop and the results are astonishing! Its truly the ultimate remedy!

Amitabha. It seems that consuming substances is indeed necessary

However, Chung Myungs complexion had turned pale. Tears welled up in his eyes.

These hungry ghosts.

Did they steal the most precious oil because there was nothing else left for them to steal from the world?

Even though it didnt compare to the Soul Vitality Pill, whenever the pill was mentioned, the oil always came up.

Such a precious thing

Feeling better now?

Yeah.

Baek Cheons face remained furrowed as he turned to Chung Myung.

Who is the one who always goes through all these tricks just to give out one drop of that thing?

Right, Sasuk, Ive never seen such a small drop in my life. Dropping it like that, just letting it fall, is quite a skill.

Seriously.

Chung Myung shouted in frustration.

Do you even know what this is?

Yes, yes. We have no idea.

Ah, it fills me with so much power! So much!

Chung Myung wiped his teary eyes.

This is something you witness when youve lived for a while. I never imagined a day would come when Id get cheated like this.

- Serves you right, you bastard.

Kuaaak!

Ah, that ghost!

Dont just appear out of nowhere like that!

Chung Myung spat into the air abruptly, causing everyone to take notice.

But, Chung Myung.

Huh?

Are you okay?

Chung Myung glanced at Baek Cheon without saying a word. Then he shook his head.

giving bottles and pills isnt something to take lightly. Where does this guy leave his conscience?

No, its because you didnt take it.

It is for weaklings like Sasuk who are injured, but I can surely handle this much!

Is that so? So, if you give one more drop to the weakling

Do not touch! Your palm will start being cut!

Baek Cheon licked his lips as he pulled back his hand, seeing Chung Myung hiss like a poisoned wild cat.

But, even though I ate that precious oil, my body wasnt perfect.

It hurts so much.

Yoon Jong trembled and sighed. It was a truly terrible fight that he would remember forever. Goosebumps ran down his spine.

Anyway, we managed to overcome the Demonic Sect.

And even killed the high priest!

The shoulders of the Mount Hua disciples rose in triumph.

But unfortunately, in front of them stood a monster who couldnt keep his eyes open while watching peoples shoulders rise.

We beat the high priest?

Chung Myungs head began to tilt to the side, causing Jo Gul to shout out.

Why, why! What are you doing now!

No good.

Chung Myung shrugged and said,

Its easy to be misunderstood, but I thought it would be better to know the truth. The high priest we beat isnt even a real high priest.

First of all, a genuine high priest wouldnt come to such a distant land and engage in such nonsense.

I heard that doing such absurd things was a characteristic of the Demonic Sect?

Thats different from this.

Chung Myungs face stiffened as he shook his head.

The self-proclaimed high priest mentioned that you would understand, but those individuals were even rejected by the Demonic Sect. They were forced to fend for themselves after being cast aside from the Central Plains, so they were unable to receive proper training.

Then

Yoon Jongs face also stiffened as he spoke, swallowing nervously.

Are you suggesting that the actual high priest and members of the real Demonic Sect are more powerful?

You are asking something so obvious.

Chung Myung scoffed.

Seems like

However, Yoon Jong didnt seem to understand.

The power of the Demonic Sect that he witnessed firsthand was truly terrifying. Didnt the disciples of Mount Hua and the Ice Palace warriors almost perish because of just a few of them?

Even so, this wasnt a legitimate Demonic sect?

Just look at the outcome.

Huh?

Even if its just one sub-group if the people of the Demonic Sect could easily control the Ice Palace, wouldnt the Central Plains have been completely overwhelmed by the Demonic Sect a hundred years ago?

I will have them melt down the statue of Buddha and sell it.

Abbot.

The thieves here were overwhelming.

Hae Yeon stood in silence, observing the intense hostility that everyone directed towards Shaolin. The anger from some was expected, but what troubled him more was that he found himself agreeing with the idea of them receiving extra payment from Shaolin.

Amitabha! Amitabha!

How did his thoughts become so clouded?

No but then again, they do have a point.

Ughh. Amitabha.

Hae Yeon found himself in the midst of an identity crisis. Thankfully, someone came to his rescue.

Knock.

Come in.

As Baek Cheon spoke, the door swung open, and Seol So-Baek and Han Yi-Myung entered, both dressed in pure white robes.

Taoist! When I heard that you woke up, I hurried over here! How are you feeling now?

Seol So-Baek eagerly stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Exactly.

You should address him as the palace lord.

Can you believe this guy!

You need to get hit!

Everyone stopped and shouted, but Chung Myung didnt pay them any attention. His gaze was fixed on Seol So-Baek as he asked,

You should be busy. What are you doing here?

There is an order at work, Taoist. No matter how important things may be, what could be more important than meeting the man who saved the North Sea and expressing my gratitude!

Huhuhu. Look at you being smart.

You were well raised. You raised him very well.

Chung Myung, feeling happy, smiled.

With Mount Hua attempting to crush him and take his belongings, Seol So-Baek appeared like a sweet and friendly puppy.

Seol So-Baeks eyes gleamed brightly.

I dont know how to express my gratitude to the Taoist! Thanks to you, the Ice Palace was able to avoid annihilation and save ourselves. Thank you so much.

Is that true?

Chung Myungs smile widened even further.

Yes, Taoist!

I see that you understand. Correct?

Of course. If we dont know grace, arent I the same as a beast? Seol So-Baek may not have learned things, but I am not a beast~ I will never forget the grace you showed for the rest of my life.

Seol So-Baeks serious face made Chung Myung smile, and Han Yi-Myungs eyes were filled with tears at this.

Such a good one.

A hero who rushed from the Central Plains to save the North Sea, and the young palace lord who would carry the will of such a hero and lead the North Sea.

How could this not be a great omen?

Now was the time.

Chung Myung smiled and spoke.

Just words?

Huh?

Seol So-Baek tilted his head slightly and glanced at Chung Myung as if he misheard something. However, Chung Myung kindly reaffirmed it.

Thank you, just with words.

Then he extended his hand and lightly tapped Seol So-bBek on the shoulder.

There is no gratitude in the world, and there is no grace that can be repaid. Originally, grace and gratitude were given as compensation for things! Things! Do you understand the meaning?

Why? Did you think a couple words of thanks would solve everything? Ah?

Ah, no. That

If you dont know grace, you are a beast?

Yes.

Beasts give away their skin. Instead of not knowing the favor, you repay it with skin. But you dont mean to let people get lower than beasts, right? Right? You couldnt. The North Sea Ice Palace will have no pride in them.

Seol So-Baek started to sweat.

Once the name of the Ice Palace was mentioned, he couldnt back down anymore.

O-of course, Taoist. The North Sea Ice Palace will repay our debt.

really?

Chung Myung smiled as if he had won everything in the world.

Hahahahah! Well, thats good to know. I never expected the Ice Palace to be this shameless!

Y-yes, of course.

Exactly, so

Chung Myungs hand tightly gripped Seol So-Baeks shoulder. Seol So-Baek, who was taken aback, saw a glimmer of light in his eyes.

I will see it once you bring it.

W-what?

Chung Myungs smile was so radiant that it seemed unbelievable.

A list of assets of the North Sea Ice Palace.

Quickly.

Seol So-Baek resembled a sheep surrounded by wolves; the disciples of Mount Hua glanced in his direction, their expressions filled with pity.

Hes been caught.

Such a shame.

My apologies, palace lord.

There were individuals in this world whom you should never owe anything to.

Seol So-Baek and the Ice Palace had ventured into a realm of ill fortune.
