Chapter 1944 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1944. Just Like Back Then In The Past. (4) Everyone gathered inside the room stared at Cheong Myeong with grave expressions. “A preemptive strike...” After remaining deep in thought for a long while, Hyeon Jong finally nodded. Then he asked. “Sect Leader. What do you think?” In response, Un Am opened his mouth with a solemn expression. “Sabu-nim. To be frank, I am not someone capable enough to contribute to devising a strategy for this matter.” [Sabu-nim. 사부님 . Honorific form of sabu (“master” or “teacher”), used when respectfully addressing one’s martial master.] “Why would you say such a thing? You are the Sect Leader of Mount Hua.” Un Am smiled faintly at what was more admonishment than rebuke. “There’s no need for the Sect Leader to be the most outstanding person in the sect.

Chapter 1942. Just Like Back Then In The Past. (2) The Xar Moron River. [Xar Moron River. Seonap Mokryunha . 서납목륜하 ( 西拉木 伦河 ). A 380-kilometer waterway in Inner Mongolia, in northeast China. Its name translates to “Yellow River” in Mongolian.] Across the boundless, sprawling grasslands, a yellow river, like a Yellow Dragon, stretched from one end to the other. The people of the Central Plains, to distinguish it from the Yellow River, had named it the Yellow Waters. Along the vast basin of that river stood an army so immense that it was impossible to count in full. [Yellow River. Hwangha . 황하 ( 黃河 ). China’s great Yellow River. Flows across northern China into the Bohai Sea.] [Yellow Waters. Hwangsu . 황수 ( 黃水 ). A name used by the people of the Central Plains to distinguish the Xar Moron River from the Yellow River. Flows through eastern Inner Mongolia.] At the very front, where the army met the Yellow Waters, several men clad in splendid armor stood facing the wind blowin...
