I trust you’ll clean up the mess properly. You know, right? It won’t be fun for you if you bother me.”

There ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was only one person who would threaten the head of the great Jaegal Clan so openly.

That’s ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍right. It was Patrick.

‘What ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍kind of dog-mess is this…’

Jaegal ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Gyeom let out a deep sigh.

He ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍should feel grateful to the benefactor who saved his family and repay that grace.

But when he faced this person, why did he not feel even a speck of such thoughts?

His own personality couldn’t be that crooked, so why?

“Ahem, let’s get an answer. Hey?”

Personality or whatever, most people would probably become the same when facing this person.

Should he call it a kind of natural phenomenon?

Still, Jaegal Gyeom was a man of character, so after letting out a sigh, he slowly nodded and said.

“Do not worry. The former head of the Hwangbo Clan, Hwangbo Yeoryang, is still alive, so I will mediate between the main family and the Hwangbo Clan, centering on him, and restore Shandong Province to its original state.”

“Don’t create any lingering resentment. Got it?”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Jaegal Hyeon also knew.

Blood had been shed between the Hwangbo Clan and the Jaegal Clan in this war, and a rift of emotions as deep as the blood shed would have formed.

If that part was not handled well and was just patched up appropriately, it might be fine for now, but it would cause a big problem in the future.

‘Is this person really an outsider with no experience in the martial world?’

It seemed like he was annoyingly passing the buck, but Patrick’s point was spot on.

“As the head of the Jaegal Clan, I swear on my name. This bloodbath was just a tragedy, and neither family was at fault.”

“Hmm, you catch on quick. As expected of the descendants of Jaegal Liang, the strategist of the great villain Liu Bei.”

“……”

If only he weren’t his benefactor, he would just…

“Venerable Master Bong-gong. The preparations are complete.”

Just then, Mun Yul reported that they were ready to leave.

“Good. Then let’s go.”

And so, Patrick led the Twin Dragon Squad and left the Jaegal Clan.

Jaegal Gyeom silently watched the backs of the Twin Dragon Squad.

An elder of the family approached him and said.

“Clan Head. Is it alright to let them go like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean the legacy of our ancestor, Jaegal Hyeon. No matter how much it was arranged to be delivered to the Twin Dragon Sect, it is still a family…”

The elder who was speaking shut his mouth.

The gaze of the Clan Head looking at him was as if he were looking at a dirty insect.

“That mouth of yours. If you had babbled a little more, I would have taken your head.”

“……”

“A person should know at least the basic courtesies.”

“I apologize.”

“There won’t be a second time.”

“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”

After dismissing the elder, Jaegal Gyeom let out a long sigh and said.

“Of course, it’s a waste for me too. But who would snatch the meat from a tiger’s mouth?”

* * *

Shaolin of Mount Song.

After resolving the matter in Shandong, the Twin Dragon Squad departed and arrived at their destination, Shaolin.

Why Shaolin, you ask?

That’s because Shaolin currently serves as the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.

Originally, the Murim Alliance had a separate headquarters.

But the Murim Alliance was disbanded by the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, and the headquarters was also destroyed.

So, the opinion was raised that a new headquarters should be built immediately, but…

[Substance is more important than appearances. Let’s build the new building later when peace comes to the martial world.]

Thanks to the opinion of the current Murim Alliance Leader and the Abbot of Shaolin, the Divine Monk, the construction was postponed.

And naturally, Shaolin also came to serve as the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.

“Tsk, it’s not great because it’s hard to find meat side dishes inside here.”

Patrick clicked his tongue and entered Shaolin.

“Halt. State your affiliation…. Hmm? Evil-Breaking Swordsman?”

“Oh, have I gotten a little famous now?”

The martial monks guarding the gates of Shaolin recognized Patrick and lowered the staffs they had been aiming.

“Greetings to the Twin Dragon Squad Leader. What brings you to our temple?”

At the martial monk’s question, Patrick raised the gourd bottle at his side and gulped it down.

“V-Venerable Master Bong-gong. You have to answer first.”

Mun Yul, who was beside him, pointed out, but Patrick paid him no mind and only spoke after emptying the entire liquor bottle.

“Ahhh… are you stupid? If I drank inside the Shaolin temple gates, I’d get all kinds of looks, so I’m just finishing it all out here.”

“Then, are you not going to drink inside?”

“……”

He’s going to drink.

If he’s going to do that, why did he empty the bottle?

Mun Yul sighed.

As expected, he was wrong to expect this person to act as a proper squad leader.

Here, he, who was serving as the deputy squad leader, however lacking, had to step up.

“We have come to report to the Alliance Leader.”

“What is it about?”

“That is… uh, about the Jaegal Clan and the Hwangbo Clan…. That thing. You know, that…”

“……”

The Shaolin martial monk’s gaze became pitiful.

‘Damn it, when have I ever done something like this?’

Let’s understand.

In fact, as Mun Yul said, when had the kid ever done something like this?

He had no idea how much information about the mission he should reveal before meeting the Alliance Leader.

“Venerable Master Bong-gong. As expected, this part should be handled by you…”

Mun Yul turned his head to look for Patrick.

And what came into his sight was…

“Uweeegh?!”

“Honey, are you okay?”

“I told you not to drink so much… right?”

Ah….

Why did I even have expectations for that person for even a second?

Seeing that person throwing up from a hangover at the gates of the Shaolin temple, who would believe that he had crushed two of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor’s disciples?

At that moment…

“By the order of the Alliance Leader, we are on our way back from resolving the conflict between the Jaegal Clan and the Hwangbo Clan that occurred in Shandong Province.”

The one who cleanly resolved this situation was the other deputy squad leader of the Twin Dragon Squad, Namgung Jin.

“A conflict in Shandong Province. Was there such an incident?”

“I cannot reveal the detailed information. First, we must see the Alliance Leader and report, so could you please open the gate?”

At Namgung Jin’s words, which combined discipline and dignity, the martial monks of Shaolin slowly stepped aside and opened the gate.

At that sight, his younger brother, Namgung Bi, approached and said.

“Well done, brother.”

Then, Peng Mu-seong and Jaegal Mun, who were beside him, also approached and praised Namgung Jin.

“As expected of our deputy squad leader, you do what you have to do.”

“Hahaha. As expected of Brother Namgung.”

At their praise, Namgung Jin couldn’t help but feel a corner of his chest swell with pride.

But…

“Uweeegh!”

“My, I told you not to drink so hastily.”

“Move aside, Elione. Let me give him some hangover medicine.”

Patrick, being diligently cared for by two worried, stunningly beautiful wives.

“Don’t worry too much, Young Master Mun.”

“Originally, things like this are taken care of by the subordinates.”

“Kyaa, look at his face getting red. So cute.”

“We can just win with martial arts.”

Mun Yul, surrounded by beautiful flowers.

Comparing the sight of these two with his own…

‘Why do I feel like I lost?’

Because he did.

* * *

Anyway, Patrick sobered up a bit and met with the Divine Monk of Shaolin to report the situation.

“And so, two of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor’s disciples died, and peace came to Shandong Province. I did well, right?”

The Divine Monk, who heard the report, let out a sigh of relief.

Although the way he reported was full of mischief, the content was indeed perilous.

Someone who had been kicked out of the Hwangbo Clan became a disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, and he took control of the family to attack the Jaegal Clan.

If the Hwangbo Clan had defeated the Jaegal Clan there, the entire Shandong Province would have fallen into the hands of the Unorthodox Faction.

Moreover…

“Was Dang Gyegwang really there? And he even possessed Gu Poison?”

The person next to the Divine Monk asked with a serious expression.

Patrick nodded coolly and said.

“That’s right. But…”

Patrick looked intently at the person next to him.

This old man, dressed in a green robe from head to toe, who had been here since he entered the Alliance Leader’s office, who was he?

He seemed familiar, but…

“I can’t remember. Who were you again?”

At that, the other person’s expression crumbled.

And the Divine Monk cleared his throat and said.

“Ahem, he is the head of the Sichuan Dang Clan and has recently been appointed as the Head of the Disciplinary Hall of the Murim Alliance’s Inner Hall, Clan Head Dang Baek. In the martial world, he is called the Thousand Arms Heartless.”

“Aaaah…. So you’re our squad’s Nanok’s father.”

“……”

It’s not wrong to call him that.

It’s not wrong, but…

“Your daughter is doing well. So please do not worry.”

“Hoooo…”

The Divine Monk’s long sigh contained the meaning…

What can you expect from this person? Please, you try to understand.

Dang Baek observed the Divine Monk’s expression and then turned to Patrick again and said.

“Thank you for taking care of my lacking daughter.”

“Hahaha. What’s there to thank me for?”

It’s just empty words. Don’t take it to heart.

No, that’s not what’s important right now.

Dang Baek rearranged his expression and said with a serious face.

“Was Dang Gyegwang really there?”

“He was.”

“Are you certain he is dead?”

“I told you he was. Ah, was I not supposed to kill him? Should I have kept him alive?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s just…”

Dang Baek let out a hollow sigh and said.

“I just couldn’t believe that monster was finally dead.”

Myriad Poisons Young Master, Dang Gyegwang.

He was from a branch family of the Sichuan Dang Clan, but he was an evil man who used thousands of civilians as test subjects for his excessive poison experiments, leading to their deaths.

To catch him, the Sichuan Dang Clan sent a pursuit squad of several hundred, but the result was the annihilation of the pursuit squad instead.

He had secretly heard that he had later become a disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, but he did not dare to take revenge.

He was none other than a disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

And the fifth disciple at that.

Besides his background, the skills of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor’s disciples also increased with their rank.

It was obvious that a monster had become even more of a monster.

So he had half given up, but he never expected to hear news of his death in this way.

“On behalf of my family, I thank you.”

“What’s there to be so thankful for? We’re not strangers.”

“Pardon?”

In that moment, Patrick realized.

He was not the son-in-law of the Sichuan Dang Clan right now.

“Ah, that is to say…. We may be strangers, but we have a close relationship, shall we say?”

“……”

“These days, Yul and Nanok are getting quite serious. So aren’t we going to be in-laws soon?”

“Ah, I see. Is that so? Hahaha.”

“Hahahaha.”

“I would like to see my grandson soon.”

“Hahahahahaha.”

A man who feels no guilt even when selling out his disciple. That was Patrick.

After Patrick finished his report.

Before he stood up from his seat, the Divine Monk opened his mouth.

“So, according to the report, you, the Squad Leader, have obtained the legacy of the Heavenly Secret Wise King, Jaegal Hyeon?”

“That’s right.”

“I will not dare to covet it. However, could you at least tell me what it is?”

“Ah, about that. Due to certain circumstances, I absolutely cannot tell you.”

“……”

“The moment I reveal it, its effectiveness will completely disappear. So, I have no choice but to wait until the decisive moment comes.”

Even as he spoke, Patrick furrowed his brow.

Who would understand such a ridiculous excuse?

Honestly, even he wouldn’t believe it…

“Hmm, if it is his arrangement, it could be so, couldn’t it?”

“They say he was a person who could see a thousand li while sitting and penetrate ten thousand li while standing.”

They believe it? They believe this?

Wow…. My friend. Your name carries a lot of weight.

[Ahem!]

Why do they believe a guy who just fixed his face on a statue and scammed people?

[That was not my doing. The descendants did it on their own accord.]

Yeah. I don’t believe you.

Patrick looked at the Divine Monk again and said.

“If there’s nothing else, can we go now? We have a place to stop by for a moment.”

“If there’s nothing else…. Hohoho.”

The Divine Monk tapped his wooden fish a few times, chanted a sutra, and said.

“In this turbulent martial world, how could there be nothing else?”

“What’s going on?”

The Divine Monk said with a serious face.

“The Hegemon Blade Sect has been revived.”

* * *

Sichuan Province.

Although it is not the center of the Central Plains, it is considered a core territory of the Orthodox Faction in the martial world.

In Sichuan, there is the Sichuan Dang Clan, the Emei Sect, and the Qingcheng Sect.

It is a place where the power of the Orthodox Faction is strong, and it is difficult for minor unorthodox factions to take root here.

This is because as soon as they appeared, they were crushed by the three sects mentioned above.

That was 200 years ago.

100 years ago.

The Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor gathered his disciples and subordinates and established the Hegemon Blade Sect here.

The moment the Hegemon Blade Sect was established in Sichuan Province, the three prestigious Orthodox sects that had taken root here had no choice but to be intimidated.

A huge unorthodox force that they could not possibly handle with their strength had established itself in their territory.

In fact, at this time, the three sects were even on the verge of having to move their base of operations.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen because the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor treated the three sects with indifference and did not touch them, but after that, the power of the Orthodox Faction in Sichuan greatly declined.

After the death of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, as his disciples scattered, the power of the three sects was slowly recovering, but…

A thunderbolt fell from the clear sky.

The thunderbolt of the revival of the Hegemon Blade Sect.
