Return of the Mount Hua Sect
It wasn’t surprising. He had already heard that traces of the Demonic Sect were discovered here. Besides, didn’t Chung Myung also see the corpse covered in the Demonic Flower with his own eyes?
However, hearing about the Demonic Sect from the local people of the North Sea carried more weight than hearing about it from someone halfway across the country.
“... did they bring the Demonic Sect into the North Sea Ice Palace?”
“Amitabha. Amitabha. Why....”
Hae Yeon continued to chant, unable to understand.
“Don’t the people of the North Sea know what the Demonic Sect is? How could they do such a wicked thing?”
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi-Myung sighed.
“Just because we are from the North Sea doesn’t mean we don’t know about the Demonic Sect.”
“How could someone do that?”
Smiling, Chung Myung responded to Hae Yeon’s question.
“You’re being naive again.”
“...”
“Because they are human, there is nothing they won’t do. There is nothing in the world that cannot be done.”
Even attracting the Demonic Sect.
Especially when power was at stake. To obtain the throne, seeking help from foreign powers was not uncommon.
Many have done so and suffered the consequences...
‘And most paid the price.’
Perhaps the current Ice Palace was no different.
“So?”
As Chung Myung sighed, Hong Yi-Myung continued.
“What else do I know? All I know is that outsiders appeared in the North Sea, and within a few days, the prince of the Ice Palace was replaced.”
“Hmm.”
Baek Cheon’s expression grew serious.
‘Did we underestimate the difficulty?’
They had initially assumed that the presence of the Demonic Sect in the North Sea indicated a connection between the two places. The Ice Palace, despite its strength, could not be ignored.
However, after learning that the North Sea Ice Palace and the Demonic Sect were potentially colluding, they realized the situation was more dire than anticipated.
The disciples’ faces turned tense. Baek Cheon glanced at Chung Myung, who seemed intrigued and eager.
“So, nobody knows what’s happening inside the Ice Palace?”
“Most likely... it’s strange to say, but someone like me, who’s a fool, wouldn’t have a clue.”
Chung Myung nodded.
It was not uncommon for significant changes to occur within the imperial palace without ordinary people knowing for several years. In the North Sea, for instance, a person like Hong Yi-Myung, who lived in a remote area, would have no knowledge of the palace’s inner workings.
“Well...” T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
Hong Yi-Myung furrowed his brows.
“After that incident, the atmosphere in the North Sea turned hostile. I heard people were disappearing, and trade with the Central Plains was completely prohibited. As a result, many starved due to the inability to access grain.”
“Hmm.”
“And those who attempted to trade with the Central Plains, despite the new law, were executed as a warning to others.”
“But... aren’t we from the Central Plains?”
When Chung Myung asked, Hong Yi-Myung smiled.
“I told you, this place is remote even for the North Sea. Can someone who lives on the outskirts of the North Sea be noticed?”
“But.”
Chung Myung scratched his cheek and asked again.
“So what happened to the previous palace lord?”
“How can I know?”
“Hmm....”
“However, judging from the fact that even after several years of bloodshed, word of it didn’t come out....”
“Right.”
In the end, Chung Myung could guess what Hong Yi-Myung couldn’t say.
‘Demonic Cult, rebellion, and change in the palace.’
A plausible reasoning.
While the Demonic Sect was traveling around to avoid the eyes of the Central Plains, they colluded with the North Sea and took control of the palace by siding with the younger sibling to establish a new base.
But...
“It is a bit strange.”
“Uh, what is?”
Chung Myung answered Baek Cheon’s question.
“No, nothing.”
This felt a little different from the method the Demonic Sect would use, at least the one that Chung Myung knew. Of course, since Chung Myung didn’t know how the sect worked without the Heavenly Demon, saying it was strange might not make sense...
‘Still, something didn’t feel right.’
Actually, it was useless to sit around and worry like this.
If he checked with his own eyes, he would be able to come to a conclusion.
As Chung Myung was silent, Baek Cheon continued the conversation.
“Then it seems to be true that the Ice Palace left the Central Plains.”
“Right. If we go deeper into the interior, we won’t be welcomed. Maybe we’ll encounter more than that. I don’t know what your business is here, but it’s better to turn back if this isn’t urgent.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“... You don’t seem to have any intention of going back.”
When Hong Yi-Myung said this, Baek Cheon scratched the back of his head.
“Because we’re not here to fool around.”
“Well then, let’s prepare well. It would be nice to stay for the night.”
Hong Yi-Myung smiled at Baek Cheon.
“....”
“Because of that, we cannot live without helping one another. If I help someone today, won’t I be able to receive it back one day? That is what people are for.”
“Ah....”
Yoon Jong nodded his head.
“I learned something nice.”
“It was nothing. Hahaha.”
For the first time, they managed to change their clothes.
Instead of sheepskin and leather, they now had animal skin purchased from Hong Yi-Myung. The leather clothing covering their heads was awkward, but it prevented the wind from getting in their ears and heads, so it could be tolerated.
“Be careful. The North Sea is more terrifying than you might realize.”
“We will remember it.”
Baek Cheon bowed deeply.
“... But where is Chung Myung?”
“Uh? He was here....”
It was then.
“Ahhhh, so cold....”
The door burst open with a large round form coming from inside.
“....”
The disciples of Mount Hua who saw the figure lost their words and opened their mouths.
Chung Myung, who had become a lump of cloth with the number of clothes he wore, stumbled out.
Clench
“Uh?”
No, he was attempting to move out. Due to the fact that his body was swollen from the clothes, he couldn’t maneuver himself to escape through the small door, leaving him frustrated.
“What is this all about?”
He struggled to stretch his legs in front of him, but his trapped body refused to budge easily.
“Kuak! Sasuk! Get me out!”
“....”
“Ah, what are you doing!”
Baek Cheon, who had been watching the scene, slowly lowered his head.
“This is embarrassing.”
“Please, Chung Myung.”
At that moment, Yu Yiseol sighed and approached the door. She grabbed hold of him and, with a final loud thud, pulled Chung Myung out of the door and onto the cart.
“Ugh. Still cold.”
“....”
“What? Let’s get moving.”
Baek Cheon looked at Hong Yi-Myung and spoke in a low voice.
“...sorry.”
“Such an interesting man. Must be quite the trouble.”
“...Yes.”
If he had to speak of the suffering, there was no need. Regardless, Chung Myung got up and loaded the various items Hong Yi-Myung brought onto the cart, then bravely stood in front of it.
“Then let’s go now.”
“Follow the path that leads near the lake. It’s a long journey, so don’t strain yourself too much. The cold of the North Sea only torments the weary.”
“Yes, we’ll keep that in mind.”
At that moment, a rough voice from the cart spoke up.
“Ah, let’s get going!”
“That cursed bastard!”
“I’ll burn the cart and throw it away!”
Seeing the disciples of Mount Hua rush to the cart and yell, Hong Jin-Bo quietly mumbled to his father.
“They are very strange people. They are Central Plains people?”
“...not like that.”
It was Hong Yi-Myung who made excuses for the sake of their honor—these kids who lived in a faraway land.
“Thank you. I will stop by on the way back...”
It was when they were saying their final goodbye.
“Disciple Baek Cheon.”
Standing in front of the cart in silence, Hae Yeon called for him, making Baek Cheon turn slightly nervous at the agitated look.
“What is it, monk?”
“Someone is approaching from ahead at a high speed.”
“Hmm?”
Baek Cheon frowned and looked ahead.
He was right.
Through the snowy winds, something was moving. A small dot began to grow in size in an instant and approached them at a scary speed.
“Who is that?”
“Looking at the speed, it cannot be normal.”
“...we never know, so be prepared.”
“Yes!”
When Baek Cheon gave the order, everyone responded quickly, raising their alertness, and silence followed the fierce wind.
An instant was enough for the tension to spread.
