Chapter 668
Kwang!
Yang Kyung’s body twitched profusely as he lay there, blood pouring from his nose like a waterfall.
Those who had been staring with dark looks began to come to their senses.
‘What did I just witness?’
‘... Oh my.’
Yang Kyung.
Viewed from the perspective of the entire Kangho, he might not be considered famous, but in the Hunan region, he was known to hold his own fame. The clan he led, the Clear White Clan, was not one to be underestimated either.
But...
‘In one hit?’
‘No, wait, did someone kick him in the face?’
‘Is Yang Kyung that weak?’
‘C-can they even do this?’
When people witnessed something that made no sense, they didn’t care about what was right or wrong. The fact that Chung Myung took down the man with a single hit, Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon, who was, without exaggeration, the famous Taoist in Mount Hua, suddenly doing this to a guest was what shocked them all.
“This... this is insane....”
Jo Gul could only stutter, words failing him.
The disciples of Mount Hua, who stood behind him, couldn’t speak and just watched Chung Myung with trembling eyes.
‘That messed up guy.’
‘As expected of Chung Myung. He didn’t even look back once when he chose to rush ahead.’
‘Just what did he go through to grow up like that?’
The other disciples might have been just shocked, but Jo Gul couldn’t stop being shocked.
“A-ah... no... this insane bastard... woah... for real....”
Chung Myung spoke calmly to Jo Gul, who couldn’t find the words.
“Sahyung.”
“Uh? Uh?”
“Kick that bastard out and then sprinkle some salt on him too.”
“...”
“Seriously pathetic, tsk!”
Right, Chung Myung. He agreed with his sentiments.
But...!
“How can we just kick a guest out! You insane idiot!”
“Guests? My ass! I will never accept such a guest!”
“No, at least figure out what’s happening before you hit someone! You bastard, why does your body have to move before your head works?”
“Because it’s probably all shit. And when I listen to such shit, it hurts my ears.”
Right! And what that man said was surely shit!
But that was... phew...
“A-apologize quickly!”
“Why?”
“If you hit a guest, you need to apologize! If you are the owner, it’s obvious!”
Chung Myung looked at Jo Gul as if asking, ‘Does that nonsense make sense now?’.
“I don’t get it. If I am the owner, then why should I apologize?”
“Aren’t they the ones who came to congratulate us on the initiation of the Heavenly Friends Alliance?”
“That’s what I’m saying. They came to congratulate me. I’m the owner, so why should I apologize?”
“...”
Jo Gul had no idea where to start explaining this. In the end, unable to speak, Jo Gul just stood there. Chung Myung calmly said,
“If you are a guest, and you are rude or talk badly, then you get punished.”
Honestly, Jo Gul wanted to clap. It felt like this clean stream of water was flowing down the deep mountain valleys inside his body.
But he wasn’t someone to enjoy this; he was the one who had to sort this out.
“You cannot do that!”
“Uh?”
And he continued with a bit of a pale face.
“Aren’t they the ones who came to wish us well? Then we have to treat them well and send them back...”
“What?”
Chung Myung tilted his head as if it was odd.
Chung Myung snorted.
“Of course.”
“There is no use regretting it now! I will never accept an apology!”
“I said, of course.”
“Again, never...”
“You bastard who doesn’t understand words!”
Chung Myung looked shocked.
“Do whatever you want, you moron! Who even stopped you?”
“...”
Yang Kyung flinched and was at a loss for words. At this point, he had thought the disciple would step back and give in, but instead, he was shouting back, too.
‘Just who is this bastard?’
If he had any sense, he would have realized the serious trouble he was getting into. Anyone who made a mistake in a moment of short temper soon realized their mistake and stepped back.
But even when this disciple did that, instead of stepping back, he was getting more angry?
“Can you handle what comes after?”
“Why do you care about that? It is my duty to handle it.”
“...”
“You must be a person with the kindest heart. Why are you so worried about our work? And! If you were going to be this kind, you should have acted so from the start! Why are you pretending to be now in this disgusting manner! I will rip the blood out of the head!”
Haha.
Chung Myung had become nicer; now, he no longer crushed and hit heads. He just made them bleed.
“It is over, so get out now. You are free to say and do whatever you want.”
Since things weren’t going as planned, Yang Kyung looked back to seek help, aiming to bring in the people watching.
But the eyes he turned to all gazed away. It was as if they didn’t want to be involved anymore.
‘Ah, no... why?’
Weren’t they the ones who raised their voices on the side a little while ago? But why were they turning their gazes away like this now?
This was because Yang Kyung overlooked one fact.
Those gathered here had already felt the strength of Mount Hua, and yet, the reason they could speak back a little was because they thought Mount Hua would never touch them, if only for the sake of the event.
But even that guess was completely wrong from the kick that Chung Myung gave.
Mount Hua was no longer a small sect in Shaanxi.
In terms of power, it might not be like the Nine Great Sects, but in terms of influence, it was incomparable to the sects of the Nine Great Sects.
What kind of sect in the world could make two of the Five Palaces, which ruled like kings, bow their heads?
“This...”
As the situation turned back, Yang Kyung gritted his teeth.
“In that case, can we say that Mount Hua protects the outsiders and not the Central Plains clans?”
And he brought out his hidden card.
If he was a member of the Central Plains, then they wouldn’t answer this question without thought. If rumors went around that a sect in the Central Plains was defending the outside sects, it would be bad for their reputation.
But the answer that came back was entirely out of understanding.
“So what will you do?”
“...”
The eyes of Yang Kyung trembled.
“T-the Mount Hua is...”
“No, this bastard has been asking the obvious things since a while back. Why do I have to protect you from the Ice Palace and Beast Palace when it was you who did wrong?”
“...”
“Outsiders, insiders, my ass! Come here and call them barbarians one more time in front of me, and I will skin you alive!”
“S-such an outrageous act...”
“What? Outrageous? Haa, fine. Shall I show you what outrageous means?”
The disciples of Mount Hua, who were a bit calm, were scared once again and held onto Chung Myung.
“Ah! Stop messing with this guy!”
“Y-You cannot do that! Can you not see!”
“Jump down! Fast!”
The disciples of Mount Hua realized that no positive response would come from Chung Myung, so they shouted for Yang Kyung this time.
Yang Kyung stood, confused, not knowing what to do.
“What is happening?”
At the sound of a low voice, the people all split to the side, left and right, and Hyun Jong walked slowly along the path.
