Chapter 866

Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 866

“Are you sure this is okay, Daehyung?”

“What is itt?”

After the gathered people had left, Dam Hae, the youngest of Gangseo Seven Murderer and known as ‘One Smile One Kill’ (????(一笑一殺)), cautiously spoke up.

“It seems like things are getting too big.”

“Youngest.”

“Yes, Daehyung.”

“It’s rather a problem if we make a small profit.”

Gal Cheonrip grinned.

“People cannot overlook small tribulations. When there’s a fire in the house, everyone in the neighborhood tries to put it off. Even if they don’t like the owner of the house, it’s human instinct to run to the well for now.”

“Yes.”

“But when a mountain fire starts and begins to consume everything, it is also a human who lets go and watches. When they see something beyond their means, they can’t even dare to hold a bucket of water.”

Dam Hae nodded as if it made sense.

“But I’m worried. Aren’t they part of the same Righteous Sect? Shaanxi and Henan are not far apart; what if people from Shaolin or Gaebang rush over…?”

“It won’t happen.”

“Yes?”

Gal Cheonrip sneered.

“The reason those old faction fools are in a frenzy right now is that they’re cornered. There’s dirt on their face, so they have no choice but to hide from others or pretend like nothing’s happened, right?”

“Yes, Daehyung.”

“But that doesn’t mean the shame goes away. Those who have been humiliated want one of two things. Either find an opportunity to perform well enough to wash away that shame, or else….”

The second eldest of Gangseo Seven Murderer, Yama’s Axe (???(閻王斧)) Go Song (??(庫頌)), chuckled as if he understood.

“…or make others share their fate.”

“Exactly.”

Gal Cheonrip slowly nodded his head.

“Do you think they will try to prevent Mount Hua from being damaged? They might act sorry, but deep inside, they would probably clap their hands.”

“…But still, it is a Righteous Sect in name and appearance.”

“Tsk, tsk.”

Righteous Sect, Gal Cheonrip muttered, snapping his fingers.

“Righteous Sect or not, they’re still humans. It’s not like those Righteous Sect guys were born while reciting Buddhist or Taoist scriptures. Their inner selves are as rotten as ours.”

One Kill One Smile silently nodded at his words.

In fact, he didn’t fully understand it, but if Gal Cheonrip spoke this much, he couldn’t ask more.

Gal Cheonrip is a scary man even among them, although they are brothers. There’s nothing good about making him angry.

“But Daehyung.”

At that time, Yama’s Axe Go Song opened his mouth as if he didn’t like it.

“Reaping big is good, but are you really going to share the spoils with them?”

“Of course.”

“…Really?”

“Why not? It’s better to be sure with calculation. But…!”

Both Yama’s Axe and One Kill One Smile looked at Gal Cheonrip with anticipation.

“Only if they agree to follow us after all this is over.”

When Gal Cheonrip grinned maliciously, Go Song’s eyes were filled with suspicion.

“Follow us? Do you really plan on taking them in?”

“That’s right.”

“So far, we brothers have been living well without the trouble of taking care of our followers. But now……?”

“Living well?”

In an instant, Gal Cheonrip’s eyes were bloodshot.

“Have you lived so well that we came all the way to Gangbuk and wasted our time?”

“….”

The faces of Go Song and Dam Hae turned white as his body emitted thick bloodlust.

“While that dog-like Jang Ilso became the ruler of Gangnam, we became the scum of Gangbuk. Why am I so inferior to him that I have to end up like this?”

“…Hyung-nim.”

Gal Cheonrip grinded his teeth.

“All the differences come down to power. I can face Jang Ilso, but we can’t face Myriad Man Manor. Not to mention the Evil Tyrant Alliance.”

Go Song nodded as if he had a point.

“Indeed, if we had our own force, we wouldn’t be oppressed by those Ten Great Sect.”

“We wouldn’t have had to flee to Gangbuk in the first place.”

Being of Evil Sects doesn’t mean they don’t have any pride. No, compared to Righteous Sects that can bend their pride for a greater cause, Evil Sects do not have to.

“I thought if I had the power, I could live freely. I thought there was no need to annoyingly manage subordinates or grow my forces. But… I was wrong. That man was right. I’ll bring all those bastards under my control.”

“But those guys…”

Just as Go Song was about to say something negative, Dam Hae opened his mouth as if he understood.

“So Daehyung is planning to make things bigger.”

“Hm?”

Gal Cheonrip looked as if his interest was piqued.

“Why do you think so?”

“If we just steal enough money and flee to Qinghai, they’ll scatter and evade pursuit. However, if we start a big problem that must be solved, they will need eaves to avoid the pursuers who will chase them to the ends of hell.”

“Hahaha. You’re the youngest for a reason. That’s right.”

Gal Cheonrip burst into laughter.

“First, we will raise funds by robbing Eunha Merchant Guild. And we won’t just go to Qinghai, we’ll turn Shaanxi into a wasteland.”

“Shaanxi….”

“Then Southern Edge Sect will eventually come out of Bongmun. Southern Edge Sect is persistent, so they will try to find and punish everyone involved in this matter. Then these bastard need a shadow to hide under.”

“If they are scattered, they will lose their lives due to persistent pursuit, but no matter how much Southern Edge Sect was, they would not be able to mobilize all their force into Qinghai. Those Evil Tyrant Alliance will annoy them.”

“Yes, that damned Jang Ilso is actually helping us with this.”

Gal Cheonrip’s face distorted. Just putting the name Jang Ilso in his mouth felt annoying.

“Anyway, all we have to do is subjugate those who have no way of returning to Jungwon. Then….”

He paused for a moment and bared his teeth like a hungry beast.

“We will wait for Evil Tyrant Alliance and Righteous Sects to weaken each other before entering Gangnam again. This is exactly what ‘returning home laden with honors’ means.”

Go Song looked at Gal Cheonrip with admiration. He thought he was just wasting time with gisaengs, but apparently, he had such thoughts in mind.

“But they must be cautious, too…..”

“They’ll be wary, yes. And they’ll want to move according to their plans. But…”

Gal Cheonrip chuckled.

“It will only be a matter of time. How long can a dog wait with food right in front of it? There is no need to push their back. If we come forward and start cutting down a couple of people, they will get more excited and run wild. It’ll be over by the time they come to their senses.”

“Hmm….”

Because Evil Sects are that kind of people.

One Kill One Smile Dam Hae frowned.

“But Daehyung…Would those who didn’t listen to the Evil Tyrant Alliance listen to us? I don’t mean that we’re lacking, but these guys don’t listen to anyone to begin with.”

“Just leave that to me. I’m Ruthless Ghost Dao.”

“Yes, Hyung-nim.”

The arrangement is now over.

“How many years has it been since we were called Gangseo Seven Murderer?”

“It’s been over fifteen years, at least.”

“Yes. Yes, it has. It’s about time this name grew tiresome. We should change it. It should be around the age of Qinghai Seven Demon (????(靑海七魔)), not Gangseo Seven Murderer.”

Gal Cheonrip stood up and walked over to the window.

As he looked down at the peaceful streets of Nakyang, he twisted his lips into a grin.

“If the world is on fire, we should at least throw in a spark. Let’s make it abundantly clear that not all Evil Sects are of Evil Tyrant Alliance.”

* * *

The next morning.

Outside the city gates of Nakyang, in a barren field devoid of people, Iron Ghost made his appearance.

He looked around cautiously and narrowed his eyes.

There wasn’t a single person in sight in the place. Even when he extended his senses to check for hidden people, there was nothing.

Iron Ghost, who was looking around with a nervous face, soon clenched his teeth.

“…for God’s sake, was it just all talk?”

He came a little early, but he didn’t expect to see not a single person.

Iron Ghost, who was agonizing whether he got the wrong place, shook his head soon.

“Damn it, Gangseo Seven Murderer my ass.”

It was just when he was about to turn away, thinking that he had wasted time.

“Hm?”

The sight of several people walking from afar caught his eye.

“…I guess not all of them are cowards.”

However, at this level, it would be difficult to rob a local street vendor, let alone Eunha Merchant Guild…

However, Iron Ghost, who was swearing in his mind, slowly opened his mouth.

One. Another one.

Against the backdrop of the rising sun, more and more people began to reveal themselves.

At first, the numbers were small, but as time passed, more and more gathered. The ominous bloodlust they exuded even made Iron Ghost tense up, enough to break out into a cold sweat.

‘I- Isn’t this more than expected?’

He thought there would be about 50 people at most…….

“Fwuu.”

Just then, a whistle sounded from next to Iron Ghost. Startled, he turned and saw Gal Cheonrip, who had quietly approached, revealing a grin.

“Seems like we’ve gathered more than you thought, huh?”

“…I didn’t think this many would gather, Daehyung.”

“Right?”

Not only that, but all of the Gangseo Seven Murderers appeared before he knew it and were welcoming those who just came.

“Fortunately, my name doesn’t seem so cheap. Don’t you think so?”

“….”

Cold sweat formed on Iron Ghost’s forehead.

Who doesn’t know how ruthless this man is? Just being in close proximity makes one’s bones chill.

Fortunately, however, Gal Cheonrip no longer showed much interest in Iron Ghost. He just looked at the approaching people and smiled as if pleased.

It seems he underestimated Evil Sects. Seeing how many people had gathered to see blood.

“Ha, bunch of crazy people.”

In other words, this means that there are many sects that have suffered from the pressure of that Ten Great Sects.

One Kill One Smile Dam Hae shrugged his shoulders.

“Considering this many have gathered just from the headwinds, it seems there are still some who haven’t arrived yet.”

“It doesn’t matter. They’ll join us.”

There’s no need to wait for everyone since the direction is already set. To achieve what he desires, it’s better to move before this sharp momentum dulls.

The gathered people stared at Gal Cheonrip with bloodshot eyes.

Gal Cheonrip, who liked the ferocious momentum, nodded.

“Welcome, trash.”

He pondered if there was something more to say but then decided against it. Now was the time to show through action rather than a hundred words.

“We depart right away.”

A grim voice seeped from his lips.

“Let’s turn Shaanxi into a hell of fire. Wealth, blood, whatever you want, I’ll let you take them all.”

At those words, the assembled Evil Sects revealed sharp teeth and laughed. They seemed to be excited about what was about to happen.

“Let’s go.”

A starving pack of wolves began to run in formation toward the west.

To the west of Nakyang, toward Mount Hua of Shaanxi.
