Chapter 1934 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1934. Anyone Else Have Something to Say? (4) Un Am extended a hand respectfully and saluted everyone with a fist-and-palm greeting. “I am Un Am, currently serving as the Sect Leader of Mount Hua.” The sect leaders gathered there looked at him with solemn eyes. How many people would know the taoist name Un Am? Compared to those whose fame had shaken the world since their youth, the name Un Am was little different from anonymity. It was not a name that could dare compare itself to those seated here. And yet, not a single one among them dared look down on him. One might choose not to respect the man named Un Am. But no one would dare belittle the Sect Leader of Mount Hua. For Mount Hua’s standing in the current jianghu was just that immense. “To all of you who have come from afar despite this sudden request, I offer my deepest thanks.” After bowing deeply, Un Am continued.

Chapter 1932. Anyone Else Have Something to Say? (2) Hyeok Sawol swallowed dryly. ‘How did things end up like this...?’ He saw familiar faces. The first thing that was immediately apparent was that everyone gathered here was quite elderly. Since this was a gathering of the leaders of various sects, it was only natural that they would be older. Yet even among them, those present here were clearly belonged to a generation even older than the rest. As such, they seemed to know each other to some extent. In other words, the old gingers of the Jianghu—those with connections reaching far and wide in every region—had gathered here. [Old ginger. Neulgeun saenggang . 늙은 생강. From the proverb “old ginger is spicier”. A Korean expression referring to experienced elders whose age has sharpened rather than dulled their capabilities.] Given that, there should have been no shortage of things to discuss. Yet those assembled merely gauged one another’s reactions and hesitated to speak firs...
