Old geezer ain't thinking straight. He knew kayden better. If kayden wants to fight, he wouldn't go sneaking, he always makes the grand gesture. Neither does he fight someone beneath him. Why would he even waste time killing an awakened that's only similar in power to his disciple. Plus, whenever there's murder, the basic question is always "who benefits most of their death or who are their enemies". At least that's how I think whenever there are murder cases in our neighborhood or politicians. His family is rotting, the fact that he's produced an heir like jurion that's already telling enough




Wait... they already saw chungmyung doing a bunch of styles where he summoned plum blossom petals even before the other disciples could (and without being taught at that). How come they didn't think that he might know the technique as well?
when the debt increase the knowledge decrease (=・ω・=) nah I'm joking idk why haha
I mean the plum blossoms appear as long their techniques are performed perfectly with the concept/theory. unlike what others believed only certain techniques can perform it, all Mt Hua techniques can actually let plum blossoms appear, even the basic ones. Chung Myung used a basic technique to make it blossom before. So it's not like he suddenly brought up a lost technique, it was more like he understood or comprehended the original techniques very well.
Not really. The first time he showed his blossoms was during the watchamacallit contest with zongnan. They recognized the stance. And one of the elders even panicked that he shouldn't be using the technique if he hasn't mastered it. He did all the falling petals. The pallicide. The cleave. 7 blossom blade. And since then he'd been performing more styles in his fights. Naturally, it should have been in their minds that chungmyung knows more than all of them combined
Oh yeah you're right. But it was still a technique known to the elders. Not one that was lost after the war.
