Chapter 541: Sect Leader Sahyung. The Kids Are All Grown Up (1)
The tale of the Ice Palaces triumph over the Demonic Sect swiftly swept across the North Sea.
So youre saying those individuals in black robes belonged to the Demonic Sect?
You werent aware?
What could someone as foolish as you possibly know? Then again, does the older sibling know?
Even though it was hushed, didnt the rumors circulate? In any case, this time, the son of the former lord of the Ice Palace guided the people and vanquished the Demonic Sect.
Hmm. So there will no longer be any sudden disappearances of people.
Yes, exactly! And that also means there wont be any more monsters.
I-is this really going to happen?
Tsk, tsk. Did this man truly live his life being deceived?
The elderly man clicked his tongue and proceeded with his conversation.
Those who entered the Ice Palace witnessed and confirmed the damage firsthand. It appears that the palace has once again suffered severe damage. Besides the increasing number of casualties, are there also large quantities of medicines and herbs being brought into the Ice Palace now?
Seriously
Thats what I said.
Thankfully so. It is indeed true.
Those who heard the news were thrilled that their lives would change. Now, they didnt have to stay in the house and be afraid of being caught.
When the lord changes, the world changes.
Isnt it said that he is the former lords son? If you think about it, life wasnt bad during the reign of the former lord.
It is the law that no one is left alone under the arm of power.
While people were praising Seol So-Baek with their mouths, the expression of the old man leading the conversation in the center subtly changed.
You know.
Uh?
That from what I heard, it wasnt the palace lord who led them all, but the people of the Central Plains.
Central plains?
Arent they the ones? The strangers who went to inform the chief of Joga village about the disease and its causes.
Ah!
Ah! Those Central Plains people!
Everyone who had gathered clapped their hands, saying it aloud.
Didnt a rumor about strangers giving a cure for a mysterious disease spread in the North Sea recently?
Thanks to the village chief, who spread the cure, many of those suffering from the disease managed to recover.
I heard that they led the Ice Palace warriors and fought against the Demonic Sect.
No way. Does that even make sense? How could they do it all?
Uhuh, could it be something created? Are these the words spoken by the Ice Palace warriors?
Warriors?
Everyone who had snorted laughed openly, their mouths wide open. The warriors said it, so they had to believe it.
No, who are they?
I heard it. Was it Mount Ho? That umm. Anyway, I heard it was a Taoist sect in the Central Plains.
Isnt it one of the Nine Great Sects?
Right.
Oho
Everyone who was talking exchanged glances. There was no way they could disbelieve it, but it was a story that seemed unbelievable.
If thats true, Ill be eternally grateful to those people.
I know.
The warm wind blowing over the North Sea began to thaw not only the Ice Palace but also the lives of the people living there.
The disciple from Mount Hua saved the Ice Palace and the North Sea, earning them the highest honor as guests and the privilege of enjoying the pleasure.
It must have been like that, right?
Gul.
Yes.
Water.
Gul!
What!
Ah. Right, bring me some ice. I need it so badly that I might as well die.
What?
Gul, go and fetch me some bandages
Ughhh!
Impatient, Jo Gul tossed the bandage onto the ground.
No, who gets pampered like this on the third day! Im a patient, too! A patient! Cant you see the bandage?
Baek Cheon, lying corpse-like on his bed, raised his head slightly. His long hair peeked out from the bandage wrapped around his head.
Then should I move?
Jo Gul trembled as he saw the wide, red eyes behind the bandages.
No thats not what I meant but Im sick too.
But you can walk, right?
So, Soso can do it too! Sosos legs are fine, too!
Isnt Soso in the physicians lounge now? Would you like to go run errands there?
N-no, still
That was the moment.
Gul.
Uh?
Yes?
Yoon Jong, who was lying on the bed next to Baek Cheon like a corpse, struggled to get up as if he were walking out of hell.
Before I decide to snap your neck bring me some ice.
it wont. After all, its not just anyone but our sahyung.
Baek Cheon nodded slowly in agreement.
Right, thats true.
The closed door suddenly burst open, but Yoon Jong didnt even turn his head, reacting swiftly.
You idiot, how long does it take to get ice? Its just ice!
Ice?
Uh what?
Yoon Jong, about to answer back, straightened his body and looked toward the door. Wrapped in bandages all over his body, Chung Myung tilted his head to the side.
Youve grown, Sahyung. Now youre making me run errands.
W-when did you come?
And why was he feeling fine? Just why!
Ice? Right, Ice is nice. I will give it to you.
C-chung Myung! Thats not it. I thought it was Jo Gul!
that annoys me even more.
Uh?
Uh. He deserved it. Ah, he must have heard it.
Chung Myung walked to the window and opened it. Then, a huge chunk of ice from the frozen wall was cut down, and he threw it at Yoon Jong.
Ah, sahyung! There you go, ice!
D-dont throw! Ackkk!
After receiving the ice, Yoon Jong sprawled on the bed, screaming as if his wounds had reopened. Chung Myung clicked his tongue in disapproval.
Are you still moaning about that? Pathetic and bothersome! In my era, I wouldnt care even if I had multiple knives lodged in my body! It wouldve been preferable if you were simply covered in dirt!
thats because youre a beggar.
Dong Ryong, be silent.
Chung Myung scowled and ripped the bandages off his body.
Ah, who ties the bandages up like this? Its uncomfortable.
Ah, it isnt fully healed!
Tang Soso, who was trying to dissuade him, opened her mouth in shock when she saw Chung Myungs body.
His entire body, which had been horribly wounded and split, was now completely fresh.
are you human?
She wasnt an official physician, but she had seen numerous injured people. So she couldnt understand this.
Ugh, those bastards!
At that moment, Baek Chen jumped up and stood.
Are you feeling better now?
Im good.
Really?
Baek Cheon, who got off the bed, stumbled and approached Chung Myung.
Huh?
Chung Myung tilted his head.
Surprisingly, it was not only Baek Cheon. The other disciples also silently got up and approached Chung Myung.
Huh? Whats going on?
Baek Cheon smiled at Chung Myung, who was wide-eyed.
Chung Myung.
Huh?
Youre all better now, but the rest of us are still injured?
so?
No matter how much I think, it seems like its because your qi is purer.
right. But why?
So I was thinking.
Baek Cheon spoke up.
It means that we will recover sooner if we have a bit of the pure qi.
right. What are you even saying
So.
Those eyes filled with madness.
Give it, that pure qi.
Dont drop it. A drop. Just one drop is all. One drop for one person!
Give up, or you will witness the end right here.
Chung Myung stared at his sahyungs with a blank expression.
They hadnt discussed it beforehand, but as soon as Baek Cheon made a move, he noticed the others quickly blocking his path. In an instant, he felt a surge of emotions.
But why were they doing this here?
And
When did Jo Gul sahyung arrive?
Huh? Just now.
Then does sahyung know what this is about?
No, I have no idea, but I thought we tackled everything together.
Is that so?
Chung Myung turned his head and looked through the open window, from which the light from the sky poured in.
