Chapter 564

Mymy back

Ahmy leg

Each disciple from Mount Hua groaned, crawling on the ground. Miraculously, they managed to return to the White Plum Blossom Boarding House but were unable to remember how.

I nearly drowned while washing up.

I sat down to visit my deceased grandfather

Congregating in the dormitorys central living room, they each clutched their heads and let out profound sighs.

to accomplish all this.

I understand.

We even consumed the pills!

Why! Why cant we succeed? Why!

Outrage and a blue shimmer of anger radiated from the eyes of the Chung disciples.

Cursed! Youll never finish if you can only strike once!

Did you see how Jo Gul Sahyung laughed while he was beating us? That scoundrel always had a foul disposition, but after associating with Chung Myung, hes absorbed an entirely new level of unpleasant character!

What about that great sahyung? Id be forced to shout if I saw him laughing like that! After all the unspeakable acts he committed, didnt they mercilessly beat us?

Exactly.

The room was filled with clenched teeth, anger, and frustration as they discussed Yoon Jong and Jo Gul.

Each person present had ingested a Heavenly Violet Pill.

Thanks to this, their bodies overflowed with qi, ready to shatter the skies. However, their excitement was largely stolen away by two people. No matter how they racked their brains, they simply could not understand or accept what had occurred.

What on earth did Chung Myung do to those two!

Its not only them. Werent the sasuks also beaten like stray dogs on the street by Baek Cheon Sasuk and Yu Yiseol Sago?

Even Monk Hae Yeon had his nature stolen away.

Such a pity

Recalling the past, the Chung disciples suppressed their tears and balled their fists.

Im not declaring a desire to defeat Yoon Jong Sahyung or Jo Gul Sahyung!

Jong Ho spoke, his eyes glinting with resolution.

But we cant simply become warriors and allow ourselves to be pushed around like this!

Indeed!

Just once! A single victory would suffice!

I dont want to emulate Chung Myung, but I cant spend my entire life getting brutalized by sahyungs like Jo Gul and Yoon Jong. This isnt merely about victory or defeat.

Correct!

All the Chung disciples agreed unanimously. Amidst this, Jong Ho sighed, his face transforming.

Pay attention.

Yes, sahyung.

I might have spoken lightly, but this isnt ordinary. You all know what we were given, correct?

Yes.

I dont understand the decision.

The disciples of Chung knew the importance of what they had received. In fact, they could never remain ignorant.

They had each consumed two Heavenly Violet Pills.

In their lifetime, they had never heard of anyone offering two such pills to disciples in any other sect. Even though the Heavenly Violet Pill was not considered inferior to the pill of Shaolin, it was actually stronger, was it not?

even the oil.

I never thought I would have the chance to smell the potent Green Void Oil again.

Their legs began to tremble once more. Which sect would ever provide that sort of oil to their third-class disciples?

They had initially presumed it was due to being on Mount Hua, but had another sect done such a thing, they would have collectively cursed them all.

To speak the truth

Jong Ho opened up his eyes and spoke.

If you cant afford to consume two of the potions and the oil, we might have been better off biting our tongues and dying.

Y-yes.

All the Chung disciples shook their heads in unison.

The situation was intense, but nothing seemed amiss.

These are merely excuses, arent they? Weve consumed them all, yet arent we still failing to assimilate it entirely?

Yes, sahyung.

But if our efforts remain fruitless despite the immense intake, then Mount Hua will likely continue to squander resources on futile ventures.

Even if it kills me, I will not witness this. So, how do we fix it? That Chung Myung fellow who perpetually complains every time he speaks journeyed all the way to the North Sea to obtain this.

Indeed.

As Jong Ho clenched his teeth in resentment, Jin Woo-Bo, standing next to him, spoke up.

Sahyung is correct.

He looked at the Chung disciples around him, all of them gnashing their teeth.

Did any of you see the injuries on the sahyungs bodies earlier?

Yes

We must ensure that such a scenario does not come to pass. However, we cannot provide any guarantees.

Indeed.

And thus

Baek Cheon asserted firmly.

We need to train them as soon as we can. We have to be ready for when the Demonic Sect attacks.

At that moment, Jo Gul, lost in deep thought, sighed.

I am constantly reminded of it.

Uh?

I dont just blindly train but aim for a certain level of proficiency. The strain is insurmountable. Frankly, no matter what happens now, the stronger the sajaes become, the more challenging their growth will be.

Right. But why are you suddenly bringing this up?

In response to Baek Cheons question, a slightly blushing Jo Gul exhaled sharply.

Then, hasnt Chung Myung been doing this from the start?

His statement left everyone speechless.

From the moment he first arrived, his sole focus was on strengthening Mount Hua. Somehow, he managed to ensure we surpassed them, both in the Mount Hua and Southern Edge conference and in martial arts

right.

Baek Cheon shook his head gently, his expression revealing his struggle to find words.

This was an unexpected turn of events.

It was often said that one could only truly understand someone elses feelings when their roles were swapped. This notion wasnt entirely without merit. Now that he was tasked with leading the disciples, he finally grasped Cung Myungs solitary worries.

What a monster.

Baek Cheon muttered, sighing before turning to face everyone.

But we are not the people we once were.

His determination was powerful. A battle with the Ten Thousand People Clan. A brutal battle with the Ice Palace. Even a war with the Demonic Sect where they laid their lives on the line.

These experiences provided them with a strong foundation, and that was what kept their shoulders straight rather than any pretense of arrogance.

If he could do it, so can we. Now, we must support him. We have to lighten the load he carries.

Yes, Sasuk. Thats what we should do.

Yes, Sahyung.

All of them shared a glance and nodded. Their world expanded with each new experience.

The disparity between their lives in Mount Hua and the conditions here was expected.

Our sajaes and sajils will inevitably grow stronger. Our task is to aid them in absorbing the power from the pill faster, enabling them to gain strength more quickly.

Indeed.

As you all may be aware, Chung Myung is a man of his word. Im certain that we will have to face the Ten Thousand People Clan in battle sooner or later.

Yoon Jong nodded in agreement.

So do your best to not regret. If someone gets seriously injured or dies, the pain would never heal.

Baek Cheons words ignited a fire in the eyes of Yu Yiseo, Jo Gul, and Yoon Jong.

I would rather perish in training.

I really need to doll them to death.

Ill increase their training intensity from tomorrow.

A smile graced Baek Cheons face as he nodded.

Given that we have also consumed the pill and the oil, our cultivation must commence! Lets rest well tonight so we can improve tomorrow!

Agreed!

The moonlit night was bright, ushering them homeward. Just as everything was concluding smoothly,

I

Uh?

Everyones attention swerved towards the sound of the groan. Hae Yeon, who had been in the corner, met their gaze with sorrow-filled eyes.

But I didnt manage to consume it.

Baek Cheons eyes expanded with surprise.

Why no, hang on why didnt you?

H-How can I possibly eat what was not handed to me?

But it was clearly allotted to everyone

T-taoist C-Chung Myung questioned why a Shaolin man was interacting with the sacred Mount Hua pill and repossessed it

Baek Cheons hopeful gaze was slowly replaced by a look of utter despair.

That despicable fiend.

Hae Yeon journeyed to the North Sea alongside them, overcoming countless trials.

Hes not human

Indeed.

Upon seeing tears brimming in his eyes, Jo Gul sympathetically patted him on the shoulder.

Do not weep now, monk. Your time will come.

Amitabha

The night over Mount Hua was punctuated by Hae Yeons tearful lament.
