Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 159 Recap
Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 159 dropped on April 21, 2026. Having officially returned for Season 3, the manhwa is currently adapting the high-stakes Sword Tomb arc. By this point in the series, Chung Myung and his fellow Mount Hua disciples are racing against rival sects—specifically the arrogant Wudang Sect—to secure the hidden treasures and martial arts manuals located within the treacherous Sword Tomb. Chapter 159 featured an intense scramble as the various factions clashed while attempting to navigate the tomb’s deadly traps, with Chung Myung using his overwhelming regression knowledge to outmaneuver the Wudang elders who grossly underestimated the “fallen” Mount Hua Sect.
Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 160 Spoilers
Based on the original Korean web novel progression:
- The clash with Wudang — The simmering tension between the Mount Hua disciples and the Wudang Sect will fully erupt. Chapter 160 will feature Chung Myung personally taking on the Wudang martial artists, eager to teach them a brutal lesson about looking down on his sect.
- A terrifying realization — As Chung Myung effortlessly dismantles the Wudang swordsmen, the rival elders (like Heo Sanja) will experience a profound sense of crisis. They will realize that if they allow this “young boy” to continue growing, Mount Hua will inevitably eclipse the Wudang Sect entirely.
- Securing the advantage — While the Wudang disciples are distracted and battered by Chung Myung’s relentless assault, the rest of the Mount Hua disciples will use the opportunity to push deeper into the tomb, securing a massive tactical advantage in the race for the hidden pills and manuals.
