Chapter 564: 558

Chapter 558

Hyun Jong sipped his tea.

Gently, he placed it back on the table with a soft clink.

Green Forest

Yes,

Heavenly Friends Alliance?

Yes. Thats correct.

Im So-Byeongs eyes gleamed with amusement, while Chung Myung looked taken aback.

No, is this bandit going insane because he is dying?

Cough! Cough Cough Isnt that rather harsh, Mount Huas Divine Dragon, to say to a sick man?

Actually, this man seems to only cough when hes in a tight spot, doesnt he? I might have to rip out his lungs to be sure.

As it seemed Chung Myung might charge ahead, the disciples restrained him.

Dont do it, Chung Myung. We fear that you might actually go through with it.

Exactly.

No!

Chung Myung shouted, his eyes wide open.

A bandit invades a Taoist sanctuary, complains of his twisted stomach, and now talks of alliances? Why not just ally with the Demonic Sect!

Cough!

He deserves to cough himself to death!

Chung Myungs shoe sliced through the air towards Im So-Byeong, who rolled over to evade it and shouted out.

Sect leader! Sect leader! A guest from Mount Hua faces a brutal beating from a disciple. Assist me, please!

Hyun Jong cant help but chuckle at this spectacle.

Nonsense.

What a mess.

You need to calm down.

No, after hearing such nonsense

Chung Myung.

Uh?

Granted, its a ridiculous situation, and its natural to feel flustered, but

Hyun Jong widened his eyes, glaring at Chung Myung.

Do you realize who caused this situation?

If youre aware, then stay put.

Yes.

Observing Hyun Jong soothe and leash the wild dog, Im So-Byeong continued to be in awe.

Hyun Jong spoke,

Look here.

Yes, sect leader.

Do you comprehend the significance of your words?

Indeed, I do.

Hyun Jongs gaze zeroed in on Im So-Byeong.

It is widely believed that the actual identity of the Heavenly Friends Alliance is nebulous, but its foundation lies in the union between Mount Hua and the Tang family.

Yes, its a union of Justice Factions, but isnt the Beast Palace and Ghost Clan also part of the alliance?

More to the point, neither the Beast Palace nor the Ghost Clan are Justice Factions. If anything, their nature tilts towards the Evil Factions.

Hyun Jong interjected,

Additionally

Im So-Byeong cast a sidelong glance at Chung Myung, who was restrained by Baek Cheon.

Isnt it natural that the North Sea Ice Palace, being an ally, was visited by the Divine Dragon of Mount Hua? Hence, there is no need to conceal the origin or essence.

Hyun Jong dismissed the notion with a shake of his head.

Regardless, this isnt a simple decision.

His voice resonated through the room.

The Beast Palace lies beyond our lands, its essence obscured, yet it never interferes with ordinary folk. By contrast, isnt the Green Forest a place where blood must be spilled to sate ones hunger?

Sect leader, that

Hyun Jong spoke with resolve.

Mount Hua may not epitomize the traits of our allies, but it symbolizes the alliance nonetheless. As long as I am its leader, the Green Forests inclusion will be a challenge.

This assertion left no space for negotiation.

Upon hearing these words, a slight twitch appeared on Hyun Youngs cheek, but even he didnt dare to contradict Hyun Jong now. If a senior like Hyun Young refrained, no disciple would dare.

Unfazed, Im So-Byeong simply smiled.

Sect leader.

Yes.

May I ask you something? What is the Tao of Mount Hua? Do they follow righteousness themselves? Or do they guide the suffering masses towards it?

Hmmm.

Hyun Jongs brow furrowed slightly at the question, but any self-respecting Taoist would feel compelled to respond.

Mount Hua is on its own righteous path. However, this could be due to its current state of weakness. Those who profess to be Taoists cant simply be content with pursuing their personal journey toward goodness and sainthood. Ultimately, it will be Mount Huas responsibility to lead everyone down this path.

So, are those who commit wrongdoings incapable of reaching sainthood?

Uh?

Do you know who suffered the most casualties in the fight against the Demonic Sect?

That

The Forces of Evil.

Chung Myung affirmed with a nod. Indeed, it was true.

The Forces of Evil- amongst them, the Green Forest bandits and the Yangtze River bandits suffered the most losses. Do you know why?

Because they received no help.

Correct.

It was a funny thing.

Although Chung Myung harbored hatred for the Nine Great Sects, at least up until the final moments, they cooperated in the war against the Demonic Sect.

The Five Palaces also failed to unite with the Nine Great Sects despite supporting each other over thousands of miles.

However, the Forces of Evil did not aid each other.

Theres no chance that someone who made a living by violently taking from others merely for pleasure or profit would suddenly form a friendship just because a new enemy appears. Even if we cease attacking each other, we cannot collectively confront the Demonic Sect until the end.

Agreed.

Its something I simply cant tolerate.

Life remained unchanged.

Should the Ten Thousand People Clan and the Green Forest join forces just because the Demonic Sect was on the rise? Hardly. They would rather align with the Demonic Sect if it meant defeating the Green Forest.

Forces of Evil would not unite, and neither would the Forces of Justice aid them. They had no reason to assist the evil sects of the Central Plains.

Thus, the Green Forest had never received any assistance.

How can circumstances change so suddenly? Please consider this logically. Green Forests current strength is due to the extensive damage from the last war. Its the unfortunate individuals who were dispossessed, resorted to crime for survival, and fled to the mountains to evade death. As these people were gradually absorbed into the Green Forest, one by one, they found a means of survival.

The reason is bandits?

Im not using that as an excuse. What Im trying to convey is.

Im So-Byeong stared intently, his eyes icy as he spoke.

As the King of the Green Forest, entrusted with the welfare of the entire Green Forest family, I cannot stand by as they perish like in the previous war. Even if it means groveling at the feet of Mount Huas Divine Dragon, I will not hesitate.

Captivated by his resolved gaze, Chung Myung responded gravely and bent down.

What are you doing?

Removing my shoes.

Why?

No, you promised you would

Im So-Byeong interjected urgently.

I-I just said it, just words!

Tsk tsk. This is why you live as mountain bandits. I cannot believe a single word you say.

Ugh!

Im So-Byeong had never felt this cornered before, but it seemed that conversing with this Taoist could repeatedly elicit such feelings.

Phew.

He inhaled deeply, then voiced,

Taoist.

Uh?

Assist me.

Hmm.

Chung Myung glanced down, absentmindedly scratching his head.

But.

Yes?

Why do you constantly assert that the same problems as before will recur in Kangho?

Im So-Byeong flashed a smile.

Isnt it rather obvious?

Why?

Because the Taoist is orchestrating it.

Im So-Byeong casually unfurled his fan, delicately covering his mouth with it.

Just because a person like a Taoist is fortifying his forces doesnt mean the situation can be resolved solely by your abilities.

It seems the Demonic Sects trail has been traced to the North Sea probably the reason why you hurried there.

If I havent understood this by now, I might as well admit stupidity. Unfortunately for a bandit, Im rather intelligent.

Hah

Chung Myung laughed.

In addition to his intelligence, this man known as the Green Forest King came to Mount Hua and was bowing in reverence?

Without a doubt, this man was no ordinary individual.

And also

Uh?

Isnt it plausible that if you stay close to the Taoist, you might obtain another one? Cough! Thatcough! Cough! Its a matter of life andcough!

Chung Myung sadly shook his head and sighed.

Why are only these people sticking around?

The fate of his previous existence.

Karma.
