Return of the Mount Hua Sect Novel Translation

Chapter 1940. There’s No Need to Understand. (5) To say darkness had fallen would almost feel awkward, for the sky overflowed with stars bright enough to deny the night. And beneath them, a pitch-black river surged. A black current stained the earth as it flowed south, and farther south. Heavenly Executioner silently watched the immense current, that black river formed not from water but from human beings, and his gaze sank heavily. The demon soldiers advanced with their breaths held. As though they had been bewitched by something. To some, it would have been a sight of utter terror. Yet what surfaced in Heavenly Executioner’s eyes was dissatisfaction he couldn’t quite conceal. “......They’re slow.” Ordinarily, he would’ve torn the heads from those unbearably sluggish demon soldiers himself if that was what it took to make them move faster. But now, he merely followed behind their slow march at an equally unhurried pace. Of course, it wasn’t because he pitied them. Heav...

Chapter 1939. There’s No Need to Understand. (4) The meeting that followed did not last very long. It could hardly have gone otherwise. For a meeting to drag on, there had to be arguments.

Chapter 1938. There’s No Need to Understand. (3) Kaaaanng! The peal of metal crashing against metal rang thunderously throughout Mount Hua. Ordinarily, it would have been a sound no one gave a second thought to. Those gathered here, as the saying went , had all made their living on the blade . The sounds of weapons were as familiar and as natural to them as the chirping of insects in the grass. [tl note: 칼밥을 먹고 살다 . “to live by eating knife-rice” is a Korean idiom meaning to make one’s living through fighting or martial arts. It does not literally refer to eating with a knife.] But now, things were different. ‘What in the world is happening?’ They could not see. Although they were separated by no more than a dozen zhang, yet with their abilities they could not discern what was taking place atop the training ground. [tl note: A dozen zhang is roughly thirty-six meters.] All they could do was infer from the intermittent sounds of clashing weapons that something terr...
