Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1073

Episode 1072. Who Made a Mistake? (2)

The corners of Man-geum-dae-bu’s eyebrows were noticeably distorted.

‘What is this?’

Things started to turn out differently than expected.

Before drawing this board, he thoroughly analyzed the sect called Hwasan. Any sect that knows even a little bit about how the world of martial arts operates cannot help but know how big of a variable Hwasan is.

As the analysis was thorough, I thought I had set the perfect trap. In fact, they fell into that trap. Furthermore, I thought there would be no more variables since I had preserved the Black Ghost’s power and successfully surrounded it.

But now the volcano’s response is completely different from what he had thought.

‘Is it possible?’

No way.

All humans have unchanging tendencies. Those who make choices believe without a doubt that they have reached the right conclusion after much thought, but in reality, most are guided by their own tendencies rather than logic.

The same goes for sects. The tendencies of a sect, like those of an individual, do not change easily. Rather, because of the nature of sects, where many people gather together to reach a single conclusion, their tendencies are even more solid and cannot change easily.

But now the volcanoes are making choices that are completely opposite to the tendencies they have shown so far.

When adversity comes, the sect called Hwasan is the one that rushes towards that adversity instead. That hasn’t changed at all in the past at Heukryongchae or in the current Plum Blossom Island.

But then suddenly you start standing with your feet on the ground?

‘That can’t be happening!’

But isn’t that impossible thing happening right now? If so, there must be a reason.

Man Geum Dae Bu was soon able to discover the cause without much difficulty.

‘The Green Forest King.’

Lim So-byeong was looking this way, his fan fluttering. Even though he was quite far away, Man-geum-dae-bu could clearly sense the obvious sneer in his eyes.

Thud.

His teeth clenched roughly.

Even in a hectic situation, he calmly figures out the opponent’s plan and instantly finds the perfect countermeasure to match it. If there’s anyone who can do that right now, it’s definitely Lim So-byeong.

The one who hid his movements as much as possible and dragged out a long standoff against Jang Il-so’s Maninbang was none other than Im So-byeong. Although his inaction alone was not enough to be a variable, even the great general Mang Geum could not help but acknowledge his military strategy.

Then, is the reason this happened because Man Geum Dae Bu knew that Im So Byeong was there but failed to take action?

No one would dare say such a thing.

Think about it. The prestigious political faction is a place where people are tightly united by their pride in keeping the agreement. That is why they are always disgusted by even mentioning the existence of the Sapa.

Volcano is also a place that is not lacking in the name of a prestigious family. Those people are not ordinary Sapa people, but are receiving orders from the Sapa water monster called the Green Forest King? That is impossible.

In the first place, it is incomprehensible to any sane person to include the Green Forest King, who is from Sapa, in the elite group that came over to Gangnam. But how could the disciples of Hwasan follow the orders of Im So-byeong? Who could have guessed such a situation?

‘f*ck.’

The rich man bit his lips tightly.

‘But now there is no point in arguing about reason.’

What is certain is that this absurd thing is actually happening right before his eyes.

‘But it’s still okay.’

Seung-gi is still in his grasp. It’s true that things are a bit messed up, but they won’t have the strength left to break through this siege.

If we continue this slow war of attrition, we will eventually lose and die.

However, there was one more variable that was now looming over Man-geum-dae-bu. He looked at that variable with a stern face.

‘In this situation, how could you… … .’

It was Cheongmyeong standing with her eyes closed in the middle of the volcanic eruption.

Fortune-telling is basically a dangerous act that can cause possession by even the slightest shock. Therefore, fortune-telling must be done in a safe place.

But that crazy author is calmly scheming in the middle of this battlefield where life and death are intertwined. It is something that even if one’s nerves are tougher than whale tendons, one cannot even attempt. There is no other way to call him a madman.

The problem is that the madman’s actions are now strangling none other than Man Geum Dae Bu.

‘… How long will it take?’

A full recovery would never be possible. Not even a practitioner of martial arts would want that. But what about recovering enough to be able to pick up a sword and fight again?

‘One corner? Or two corners?’

The math doesn’t work out.

Man-geum-dae-bu, who had been glaring at Cheong-myeong with eyes that seemed to be about to kill him, flinched and opened his hand. Before he knew it, his palm was soaked with sweat.

‘… … Am I being cornered? In this situation, instead?’

The face of the great lord began to gradually distort.

The power of Qingming is certainly threatening.

Even if it is assumed that a full recovery is difficult, he is the one who defeated Danjagang. Man-geum-dae-bu knows best how monstrous Danjagang is. The arm he lost to him still throbs.

If Cheongmyeong were to join the battlefield with even a small amount of its strength restored, there is no guarantee that it would be able to withstand this encirclement.

‘I have to finish it before then.’

Man-geum-dae-bu took a step forward without realizing it. It was an unconscious action. Even though he clearly knew that he should observe the situation from a little further back.

Man-geum-dae-bu, who was about to blurt out words to completely switch to the offensive, bit his lips and forced himself to swallow the words that were about to spill out.

“Push it harder. Don’t give it any leeway!”

“yes!”

Man-geum-dae-bu unconsciously tapped his thigh with his hanging fingers. The movement seemed like moving an abacus bead.

Across the fiercely contested battlefield, Lim So-byeong on the other side was watching Man-geum-dae-bu’s movements without missing a single one.

“Hmm.”

Jang Il-so’s gaze, which had been fixed on Man-geum-dae-bu, slowly moved to Im So-byeong.

Lim So-byeong’s eyes, looking around with his fan spread out, were frighteningly cold and indifferent.

‘The Green Forest King.’

Jang Il-so’s eyes suddenly become gloomy.

Before the name Sapaeryeon was created, the person Jang Il-so was most wary of was not the Black Dragon King, Man-geum-dae-boo, or Cheon-myeon-su-sa, but none other than the Green Forest King, Im So-byeong.

Because the green forest is strong? Because the forest disease is excellent?

you’re welcome.

Because eating them was the most urgent task.

The King of Green Forest in his eyes was like a knight playing chess without a car or a cannon. This meant that Green Forest was only a half-baked school with a large number of people, but an absolute lack of absolute masters.

Even the Green Forest is a place where even its numbers cannot be properly utilized. It is impossible to gather the Green Forest Islands scattered across the mountains of the world in one place, supply the supplies that the troops consume, and maintain the battle lines.

A place with a large size but no ability to focus its power properly, and no main force to speak of. What could be a more tempting prey than this?

However, Im So-byeong led the green forest and withstood the attacks of Maninbang.

While maintaining a long front, they avoid direct conflict as much as possible, and rather than using the absence of a main force to their advantage, they hide their presence and the movements of their enemies as much as possible, leaving no place for them to target in the first place.

The one who has minimized the damage to the forest by endlessly repeating actions that are hardly worthy of being called strategies is Im So-byeong.

The more this happened, the more Jang Il-so’s thoughts became firmer. He said that he had to clear out the green forest as quickly as possible. Before that Im So-byeong got a card that he could use properly.

however…….

‘I never thought he’d get that pattern from somewhere other than Sapa.’

It may be an out of place remark, but it is not just Jang Il-so’s illusion that Im So-byeong looks so excited. For someone who has always played the game to the fullest advantage, for the first time, he is able to do what he wants from the opposite position.

“Hmm.”

Jang Il-so looked at Im So-byeong with a strange gaze.

‘furthermore…….’

Jang Il-so, who saw the response of the Im So-byeong and the formation of the volcano at a glance, smiled crookedly. The exposed teeth were as threatening as those of a beast.

“You’re really good at reading people. As always.”

Jang Il-so muttered softly and spoke to Ho Ga-myeong who was standing next to him.

“Gae-myung-ah.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I need to change my plans.”

Hogamyeong looked back at Jang Il-so with questioning eyes.

“I guess I need to adjust the rhythm a bit.”

Ho Ga-myeong’s gaze turned towards Hwasan for a moment after seeing the sinister smile on Jang Il-so’s face.

“Well… … I can’t do that though.”

Those who bite the red dog. If you keep your position like the disciples of the volcano, you won’t be able to use your strength. That’s possible because it’s a volcano. However, even in this situation, there is a way to completely draw out the red dog’s strength.

“We need to change the nig*ers a bit. Start by taking care of the ones targeting the volcano.”

“Then, Your Majesty, you will be in danger.”

“Tsk.”

Jang Il-so clicked his tongue as if he was displeased. This is the reason why he trusted Ho Ga-myeong so much but could not give him full authority.

“If I want to catch a big fish like that, wouldn’t I have to give up my life as bait?”

“but…….”

Ho Ga-myeong glanced at Jang Il-so’s expression and eventually nodded.

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

As soon as Hogamyeong gave the order, Honggyun’s gaze turned around at once. It was an eerily quick and perfect reaction.

Jang Il-so’s two eyes drew strange curves.

“Okay, Master Man-geum… … .”

Jang Il-so laughed out loud.

‘Can you calculate this situation?’

Can you rule this place by flicking those brilliant abacus beads?

A person who sees people only as numbers.

He who knows better than anyone the illusion of numbers.

A person who will not hesitate to do anything if it means winning.

and…….

Hogamyeong’s gaze turns to Cheongmyeong, who is doing luck.

‘A crazy guy who can shake everyone up just by closing his eyes in place.’

What Man-geum-dae-bu had to deal with was a hellish world where monsters that ruled the world were entangled in each other’s arms, biting each other’s tails.

If you can handle this situation, you will be able to catch a series of big fish, including Jang Il-so, Cheong-myeong, and Im So-byeong.

But what if you make a mistake? The consequences are obvious.

Man Geum Dae Bu’s face gradually hardened. In contrast, a brighter smile spread across Jang Il So’s face.

“This is probably your first time?”

No one who never wants to lose money has ever gambled their life away.

Jang Il-so took a few more steps towards the elite Black Ghosts that were rushing towards him, as if tempting the approaching hunters.

“Now, here is the neck you want. Come quickly.”

At the sight of Jang Il-so approaching with his neck exposed, the eyes of the Black Ghost elite began to gleam. The opportunity to obtain the incredible feat of ‘cutting off Jang Il-so’s neck’ was right in front of them.

The Black Ghost elites rolled their eyes and charged forward. Jang Il-so, who witnessed the obvious crack, let out a ghostly laugh.

“Right, that’s right.”

At that moment, his eyes emitted a strange light.
