Chapter 198
‘Chonghua Sect? Why are they here?’ Hyeonu wondered .
All of them had colorful flowers engraved on their sleeves and sheaths . Their identities were the warriors of the Chonghua Sect, the seniors of Manhua Mountain .
-Isn’t this the Chonghua Sect? They are wearing plum blossom sheaths .
-It seems so?
-Wow, then did Qing Feng hit him in the back of the head?
-Not yet . We have to keep watching to see what’s going on .
Hyeonu nodded as he read the audience’s messages . He didn’t know anything from this perspective . It wouldn’t be too late to think and act after seeing the end of this observation . Once the masters of the Chonghua Sect appeared, the pursuers disappeared one by one . Without their leader, the pursuers were nothing but moths .
“How are you on Manhua Mountain . . . ?” The oldest Daoist of the Chonghua Sect was shocked to see the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior sitting on the ground .
“I exchanged blows with them . The result is as you can see,” the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior explained briefly .
The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior and Daoist exchanged words like they were acquainted .
“This isn’t the situation to speak . Look after yourself quickly . You don’t seem to be in a state for speaking . ”
“It’s too late . It isn’t possible to recover unless I take the Empty and Clear Stone Milk . I know my body better than anyone else . ” (Elixir famous in martial arts novels . Usually referred to the energy of the earth gathered for a long time in the form of water droplets) The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior spoke up to here before suddenly falling silently and taking out his broken weapon . “Please keep this on Manhua Mountain . If a disciple or successor comes to inquire about it, then please return it . ”
“The secret department . . . What are they doing?” The old master asked while taking the broken sword .
“Why did they follow me? They must’ve followed me because they thought they could win . I killed five of the Gucheon central people . They will take at least 100 years to prepare again . ” The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior gestured with his chin to the corpses left behind .
At the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s words, the old master held the hand of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior . “I will definitely return it for you . In addition, thank you . ”
The moment the old master’s words were over, the head of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior drooped down . Unable to withstand his internal injuries, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior died . The old master buried the body of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior and made a gravestone for him . Then he took the broken weapon and disappeared .
Hyeonu saw up to here .

“Everyone, should I go back to the Manhua Mountain?” Hyeonu asked the audience .
-Absolutely .
-Go and get the weapon .
-I don’t even need to look to know it is an epic weapon .
-If it is broken, it can be repaired .
-Still, it must be very hard to go all the way back to Manhua Mountain . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
One viewer was worried about Hyeonu . The East Continent didn’t have any return scrolls, so moving consumed a large amount of time .
“So I am thinking about ending the streaming . Of course, I’m not quitting right now . I’ll just talk for 20-30 minutes . ”
-Sigh, my heart throbbed at the thought that he was going to stop right away .
-Me too . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was surprised .
-What’s 20-30 minutes?
-Time is still passing even now . Talk quickly . Let’s start with Tang-E .
From Seongho Mountain to Manhua Mountain, it took three to four hours of running . Moreover, this was after receiving Tang-E’s buffs .
“Then please ask me any questions!”

Hyeonu ended the stream and sighed . It was a shorter streaming time than usual . Additionally, it just seemed more difficult because it was his first stream since his New York vacation .
‘Still, why didn’t Qing Feng tell me? Didn’t he know what I was looking for?’
Hyeonu thought a lot after seeing the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s actions . What should he do when he went to the Chonghua Sect? What should he say to Qing Feng? However, nothing touched his heart .
‘I will pretend that I don’t know . ’
Hyeonu thought it was the way to get the most information without ruining his relationship with Qing Feng . He would mention that there were rumors about the secret department and ask if Qing Feng had heard about it . The important thing was to pretend to have heard it from others by chance . This was important .
Hyeonu arrived at the Chonghua Sect while sorting out the words he would say to Qing Feng .
“Hello?” It was the young Daoist that Hyeonu had previously seen guarding the Chonghua Sect . “Did you come to see Shishu today?”

“Yes, please,” Hyeonu said .
“I understand . Please wait a moment . ” Maybe it was because they had met once or perhaps because of Hyeonu’s relationship with Qing Feng, but unlike the other time, this young Daoist was overly polite to Hyeonu .
“Little brother! You’re already here?” Qing Feng appeared with the young Daoist after a while . They hadn’t seen each other in a few days, but Qing Feng was so happy that it seemed like it had been months .
“Yes, things went well, so I was able to come quickly,” Hyeonu explained . Qing Feng and Hyeonu headed to the mountain peak they had gone to before .
“By the way, what is that? The nice scent makes it feel pretty expensive . ” Qing Feng pointed at the item in Hyeonu’s hand . Hyeonu was holding a slightly large wooden box . It was the box of food and liquor that he had promised Qing Feng previously .
“Didn’t I promise before? Let’s eat and drink . I’ve packed enough,” Hyeonu said .
Hearing Hyeonu’s answer, Qing Feng trembled . “Then go ahead . I’m looking forward to seeing how delicious it is . ”
After his previous meeting with Hyeonu, he hadn’t been able to go down the mountain because of personal matters and had been thirsty for wine .
“Good, good!” Qing Feng let out a burst of admiration .
Hyeonu opened the box . He had brought two bottles of wine and dumplings that could be eaten easily . The steam that still rose from the dumplings stimulated their appetites .
“Today is a day to drink from the bottle . ” Hyeonu handed the entire bottle to Qing Feng .
“The bottle? Okay!” Qing Feng smiled brightly when he received the bottle of alcohol . All drinkers would feel sympathy when those who didn’t drink alcohol were forced to drink it .
‘Now . . . ’
After eating and drinking for a long time, Hyeonu spoke with a face like he suddenly remembered something . “Brother, can I ask you something?”
“Ask me . What do you want to know?”
“Do you know the Gucheon Secret Department? It is a name I happened to overhear . ”
Qing Feng’s expression changed dramatically at Hyeonu’s words . His cheerful expression disappeared, and he looked serious .
“That name, where did you hear it?” Qing Feng asked, acting like he didn’t understand .
Hyeonu answered, “There is a mountain called Seongho near Jeonggyeong . It is a mountain that houses the Seongho Group, one of those under the Heuk Mountain League . I had a dispute with the leader of the Seongho Group and found out that their leader was a secret camp member of the Gucheon Secret Department . ”
Hyeonu cleverly mixed truths with lies . It was impossible to grasp the truth of Hyeonu’s words unless Qing Feng was Hyeonu .
‘There was a secret camp member in the Seongho Group?’ Qing Feng pondered .
“The Seongho Group’s leader? Brother, it is better if you don’t mention that name anymore . It is for your sake . They are one of the cancers of Jianghu that have existed for a very long time,” Qing Feng advised Hyeonu with concern .
Qing Feng lifted the bottle of wine and took a sip . Then he wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his uniform .

“Little brother, are you a member of the Mysterious Sky Sect? This is important,” Qing Feng said while staring at Hyeonu .
‘Should I answer this or not?’ Hyeonu went through countless troubles in a short moment .
Then he soon made a decision . “That’s right . I am the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s successor . ”
“Is that so? I should’ve noticed when you asked about the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior . ” Qing Feng shook his head several times at Hyeonu’s answer and immediately drank all the remaining wine in the bottle . “Let’s go and meet the sect leader . I have something to give you if you’re a successor of the Mysterious Sky Sect . ”
Then he stood up and rubbed his ass a few times .
‘It’s good,’ Hyeonu thought to himself as he followed Qing Feng .
He thought this was the best choice .
The present that Qing Feng was going to give him now was the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s sword . After receiving the sword, he could go straight back to the West Continent . So what if it was broken? There were dwarves in the West Continent .
“Let’s go quickly, Brother . ”

Muhwa Palace, the residence of the Chonghua Sect Leader, was busy due to uninvited guests . There were two uninvited guests—Qing Feng, currently the highest-ranked up-and-coming youngster, and Gang Hyeonu, the self-proclaimed successor of the Mysterious Sky Sect .
“So this young apprentice is the disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect?” The sect leader spoke while pouring brilliant jade-colored tea . He didn’t even look at Hyeonu . He was asking Qing Feng .
“Yes,” Qing Feng replied briefly .
The sect leader still didn’t turn his head and concentrated on making tea . “Is there any possibility that he is a spy from the secret department?”
“There is no way . He’s already killed two of them,” Qing Feng said .
“Have you checked it with your own eyes?” The sect leader finally raised his head . His serpent-like eyes headed for Hyeonu and Qing Feng . The two young men faced his eyes and couldn’t move . The sect leader’s eyes were full of power .
[The pressure of the sect leader, Zaun of the Chonghua Sect, has been received . ]
Dissatisfied with his inability to move, Hyeonu’s mouth moved with the desire to use fighting energy . Then a message window appeared in front of Hyeonu .

[The influence of fighting energy has allowed you to ignore the pressure of Zaun, the sect leader of the Chonghua Sect . ]
Hyeonu regained his freedom to act and said, “Why am I a member of the secret department? I am a disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect . ”
Hearing Hyeonu’s words, curiosity appeared in the eyes of Zaun . He was curious about how his pressure was overcome .
“Really? Can you prove it? Prove that the martial arts you’ve learned are from the Mysterious Sky Sect?” Zaun said .
“What can I do?” Hyeonu asked .
“I know the characteristics of the Mysterious Sky Sect techniques . I can’t help it even if it is considered rude . This is very important to the sect . I can’t just believe your words . ”
Hyeonu nodded at Zaun’s explanation . That was reasonable . After all, it was absurd to give the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s sword without any test or verification .
“Spar with Qing Feng . Qing Feng’s martial arts ability isn’t low, and it will be enough to show the techniques of the Mysterious Sky Sect . ’
“I understand . I will do so . ” Hyeonu accepted Zaun’s proposal, but the problem appeared elsewhere .
“Master! Why do I have to fight my brother? Master should do it yourself!” Qing Feng opposed Zaun’s decision .
Zaun countered, “You want an old man to fight? Stop talking nonsense and go to the training field . Or should I use Chonghua Domain to make you listen?”
Hearing Zaun’s words, Qing Feng said nothing . He just shook his head and patted Hyeonu’s shoulder a few times .
“This way to the training field . ” Qing Feng led Hyeonu to the training field .
It was unknown who spread the news, but the training field was already full of old masters .
“Now, the elders have already gathered, so the match will begin . ” Zaun came out to the center of the training field and started to speak . “As you’ve heard, this junior apprentice is the successor of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior . No, he is here to prove he is the successor . If it is true and he is the successor, we will hand over what we have been keeping . ”
Meanwhile, Hyeonu and Qing Feng stood facing each other . They pulled out their weapons and prepared for a spar .
“Then let’s begin,” Zaun announced .
Once the sect leader finished speaking, Hyeonu and Qing Feng greeted each other .
“Please take care of me, Brother . ”
“Please . ”
The spar for Hyeonu to obtain the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s sword began .
