Chapter 1952 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1952. It’s Damn Fucking Good to See You Again. (2) “W-Wait!” Hong Daegwang reached out, looking as though his breath might give out at any moment. “You’re... too, too fast...!” The beggars of the Beggar Union were, as a rule, highly skilled in lightness arts. Part of it was because the Beggar Union’s movement arts possessed certain advantages over those of other sects, but that wasn’t the only reason. To be precise, it was because the Beggar Union disciples themselves believed that while they might lose to others in martial arts, they would never fall behind anyone in lightness arts. As a disciple of the Beggar Union himself, Hong Daegwang was naturally confident in his lightness arts. Yet the speed of those surging ahead now had reached a level even he couldn’t possibly keep up with. Even so, he couldn’t bring himself to ask them to slow down. The expressions of those running at the front were far too grave. Even the consumptive Im Sobyeong was running with a...

Chapter 1951 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1951.  It’s Damn Fucking Good to See You Again . (1) KWAAANG! The Beggar Union disciples’ dog-beating staffs blocked the Demonic Cultists’ path. Internal force collided with internal force.

The traditional staff associated with the Beggar Union. The name literally means “staff for beating dogs.”] “Ah...” Just as the tension suddenly left Jwa Gohak and he faltered, someone seized him by the shoulder and pulled him away. “There’s no time to hesitate. We can’t hold them for long!” At those words, Jwa Gohak abruptly came back to himself. He had no idea how the Beggar Union had learned of the situation and rushed all the way here, but as the man said, there was no time to hesitate. “Hurry, we have to flee...” Jwa Gohak hastily turned to hurry the civilians onward, only for his ...

Chapter 1950 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1950. So It Was Still There. Within Me. (5) “Hurry! Quickly!” “N-No, we have to load this too!” “Is your wealth worth more than your life?” “It’s not wealth, it’s food! Are you telling us to flee without a thing and starve to death on the road?” At those words, Jwa Gohak bit down on his lip. He couldn’t deny it. Fleeing wasn’t as simple as merely abandoning one’s home. If they failed to secure provisions for the journey, all that awaited them was death on the road instead of death at home. The road before them stretched for a thousand li. An ordinary person would need no less than half a month to travel a thousand li. Without enough food to last those fifteen days, they would eventually exhaust themselves and collapse. Yet even knowing all this, Jwa Gohak couldn’t help but feel pressed for time. “There’ll be supplies. Just get out of here first!” “Supplies? What damned supplies? Everyone here saw with their own eyes the Emperor leave the Imperial Capital wit...
