A ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍splendid manor with countless grand pavilions built on the largest plot of land here.

This ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍is the manor of the Hegemon Blade Sect, established in Sichuan.

In ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍fact, a significant portion was destroyed when the Hegemon Blade Sect disappeared once, but it was not completely demolished.

No, ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍to be precise, it should be said that they couldn’t.

Just ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍as herbivores flee in panic at the mere scent of a tiger, the shadow of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor cast over Sichuan was that large and distinct.

No one dared to even attempt to purchase or demolish this manor.

And more than 20 years passed, and only recently was the shadow beginning to fade, even if only slightly.

However…

“Well, I’ll be…”

“To think that thing has been revived.”

“Mmm…”

The residents of Chengdu looked at the Hegemon Blade Sect’s manor with complicated expressions.

With the Hegemon Blade Sect’s declaration of its revival, former disciples scattered across the land began to gather one by one, and the manor quickly regained its original appearance.

Just like the Hegemon Blade Sect that symbolized the world of the Unorthodox Faction.

“What’s going to happen now?”

“Are we going back to the old days?”

“No, but the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor is gone.”

“The Murim Alliance has also been formed, so they wouldn’t just stand by, would they?”

“It’s also unknown what the other sects in Sichuan will do right away.”

The residents of Chengdu looked at the Hegemon Blade Sect’s manor with anxious expressions.

And on the top floor of the tallest 7-story pavilion within the Hegemon Blade Sect’s manor, which overlooked all of Chengdu, a meeting was in progress.

A total of seven people.

The six men and one woman sitting opposite each other were all disciples of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

And not just any disciples.

“What brings you to call us so suddenly?”

The beautiful woman dressed in splendid yet daring red clothes was the Red Robe Sword Empress, Gu Wol-hyang.

She was the tenth disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

“Our Eldest Senior Brother must have his reasons.”

The man who answered was tall with unusually long arms.

His name was the Poisonous Heart Hand, Jeok Il. He was the ninth disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

“……”

The person nodding silently beside him was a figure with two swords strapped to his back, known as the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword, Wi Jung-cheon.

He was the eighth disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

“Fifth and Sixth Senior Brothers are not present. Don’t tell me they didn’t come?”

At a glance, he looked like an ordinary scholar, but hidden within him was a terrifying cruelty.

And the man who had almost been killed by Patrick but had luckily managed to escape.

The White-Faced Death Lord, Yu Seop, was also present.

“Fifth and Sixth are dead. They died trying to handle things on their own before Eldest Senior Brother gave his permission.”

Red eyebrows and a fierce impression.

A massive physique that did not look out of place with the giant crescent blade strapped to his back.

This man was the third disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, the Red Brow Godly Demon, Jo Se-geuk.

“We can’t do anything about the dead. More importantly, have we still not found the whereabouts of Fourth?”

At the question of a man with a lean physique and a sharp impression, Yu Seop cupped his fists politely and answered.

“We are searching everywhere, but his whereabouts have not been revealed.”

At that, the other person clicked his tongue and said.

“Tsk, so incompetent…”

“My apologies, Second Senior Brother.”

The White-Faced Death Lord, Yu Seop, repeatedly bowed his head politely.

This man was the second disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, the Hot-Blooded Hegemon Emperor, Yu Ho-bang.

And among the disciples of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, among those who were in the top ten, the one who occupied the head seat alone.

There was a man whose overflowing power was naturally revealed just by his existence.

A middle-aged man with a strong impression and red eyes reminiscent of blood.

He was the first disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, known to the world as the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor, Mu Gyeol.

He was also the one who claimed to be the second-generation leader of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

He looked intently at his gathered junior brothers and sisters and said.

“Yu Seop.”

“Speak, Eldest Senior Brother.”

“You must find the whereabouts of Fourth. Once you find him, be sure to bring him to me alive.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

After giving instructions to Yu Seop, the Demonic Emperor looked around at his other junior brothers and sisters and spoke.

“The reason we have gathered today is to tidy up the surroundings of our Hegemon Blade Sect before we begin our official movements.”

“Tidy up the surroundings? Are you thinking of wiping out all the Orthodox sects in Sichuan Province?”

“That’s right.”

The Demonic Emperor Great Emperor answered calmly to the Red Brow Godly Demon’s joking question.

At that, the others showed slightly surprised expressions.

But soon, their expressions changed from surprise to curiosity.

It was like the expression of a child who had received an interesting toy.

“Eldest Senior Brother, as you know, in Sichuan there is Qingcheng, Emei, and the Sichuan Dang Clan.”

“Yes. I intend to tidy up those three places.”

“Is there a reason we must do so? Aren’t they just beings who don’t have the guts to challenge us anyway?”

At that, the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor’s eyebrows twitched as he said.

“Let me ask you in return. What is the reason to leave them be?”

“Uh…. Well… there isn’t really one.”

“That’s right. The only reason those beings were able to establish themselves and live in Sichuan was because our master tolerated their existence.”

That was true.

From the moment the Hegemon Blade Sect established itself in Sichuan, the three Orthodox sects were in danger of disappearing with a single gesture from the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

However, the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor had no interest in the three sects and only focused on gathering and raising disciples from all over the world.

Thanks to that, Qingcheng, Emei, and Dang.

Although these three places were pushed back in power and couldn’t exert their strength, they were able to continue their lineage.

However…

“I am different from my master. I have no intention of leaving insects that are annoying at my feet alone.”

The Demonic Emperor Great Emperor, who claimed to be the second-generation leader of the Hegemon Blade Sect, seemed to have different thoughts.

He said to his junior brothers and sisters.

“Send messengers to the three sects and convey my will.”

This was an order.

At the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor’s words, which would not tolerate refusal, the others…

“Chung! We accept Eldest Senior Brother’s will.”

“Chung! We accept Eldest Senior Brother’s will.”

Everyone answered politely in one voice.

All of them were giants of the Unorthodox Faction and lawless people with nothing to fear in the world, but the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor had them under perfect control.

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor as he looked down at them.

After the Demonic Emperor Great Emperor, who had conveyed his will, left.

The Hot-Blooded Hegemon Emperor, Yu Ho-bang, who was presiding over the meeting in his place, said.

“First, we need to send a messenger. Who will go?”

At that, the Red Robe Sword Empress, Gu Wol-hyang, quickly raised her hand and said.

“I’ll go to the Emei Sect. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my baby, too.”

At that, Yu Ho-bang smirked and said.

“Keep your hobbies as just hobbies, Junior Sister.”

“Of course. I will not go against Eldest Senior Brother’s instructions.”

“I will go to the Dang Clan.”

The Blood Ocean Demonic Sword, Wi Jung-cheon, raised his hand and volunteered.

At that, the Poisonous Heart Hand, Jeok Il, who was beside him, said.

“Then, do I have to go all the way to Qingcheng? It’s far from here, so it’s a bother…”

At that, the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword smirked and said.

“That’s why I’m going to the Dang Clan.”

“Haaa. You guys are too much. I understand. I’ll go to Qingcheng.”

And so, the representatives to be sent to each sect were decided.

And the Hot-Blooded Hegemon Emperor said.

“We will give them a grace period of one month. Tell them that if they do not leave the land of Sichuan within that time, we will consider it as being hostile to our Hegemon Blade Sect.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

And so, the Hegemon Blade Sect began to move to take full control of Sichuan.

* * *

The Sichuan Dang Clan.

With the current clan head serving as the Head of the Inner Hall of the Murim Alliance, the person temporarily replacing him was the clan head’s younger brother, Dang Sun.

He was a transcendent master who had learned poison arts and was revered in the Dang Clan as the Poisonous Cane Hand.

However…

“I won’t mince words. Either leave Sichuan within a month, or everyone dies. Choose one of the two.”

The weight of the name of the person in front of him, the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor’s disciple, the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword, Wi Jung-cheon, was much heavier.

“Is that truly the will of the Hegemon Blade Sect?”

“That’s right.”

“……”

It was a rude and arrogant demand, but the other party’s attitude was extremely composed.

It was as if they were saying, ‘We don’t care what choice you make.’

At that sight, Dang Sun bit his lip and his body trembled.

But he couldn’t act rashly.

“The clan head is currently absent from the family. We need time to convey the message and make a decision.”

“That’s your problem. I’ve said what I had to say, and that’s that.”

“Ugh…”

Just then, a young martial artist of the Sichuan Dang Clan expressed his anger at the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword’s rudeness.

At that…

“Hmph.”

The corners of the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword’s mouth turned up, and at the same time, his body blurred and disappeared.

“An upstart shouldn’t be leaking killing intent so recklessly.”

And the next time he appeared, it was in front of the young Sichuan Dang Clan martial artist who had been gritting his teeth at him.

And Dang Sun’s urgent shout was heard.

“Nooo!”

He tried to reach out his hand in a hurry, but it was already too late.

SHIIIIING!

The Blood Ocean Demonic Sword’s twin swords crossed like scissors and cut off the head of the young martial artist who had leaked killing intent at him.

The moment a young man of the Sichuan Dang Clan was sacrificed in an instant…

“Gal!”

With a thunderous shout, Dang Sun shouted with a voice filled with internal energy.

“Everyone, do not act rashly!”

What Dang Sun restrained were the members of his own clan.

He trembled with anger and said to the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword.

“If your business is finished, please leave now.”

“Tsk, no fun.”

“……”

“They say the Sichuan Dang Clan is second to none in the world when it comes to poison. But seeing you now, you’re quite tame, aren’t you? You can even endure the beheading of a family member within the clan.”

“……”

Blood seeped from Dang Sun’s tightly shut mouth.

But he could not unleash this anger.

For the future of the clan, now was the time to suppress his anger.

The Blood Ocean Demonic Sword smirked at Dang Sun and said.

“Well, there’s no fun in teasing you anymore.”

He sheathed his sword and said.

“One month. If you exceed that period, we will come again.”

And the Blood Ocean Demonic Sword led his subordinates and left the Sichuan Dang Clan.

As he left, the members of the Dang Clan rushed to Dang Sun like a wave.

“Uncle. Are you just going to let them go?”

“Pyeong is dead. Please let us take revenge.”

“If we let them go like this, the honor of the Dang Clan will fall to the ground…”

“Shut up!”

Dang Sun shouted and silenced the protesters.

And he glared at them and said.

“You incompetent fools. Do you think I endured because I wanted to?”

“Uncle…”

“Brother…”

“We must endure for now. I cannot lead the Sichuan Dang Clan to ruin for the sake of a moment’s anger and pride.”

At Dang Sun’s cry, which was shed with tears of blood, the other family members also became solemn.

They also came to realize.

That Dang Sun, who was acting as the clan head’s representative, was even angrier than they were.

Just then, someone said.

“But Representative. What are you going to do about their demands?”

Even if they overcome the crisis for now by suppressing their anger, the result will not change.

In a month, if they do not leave their home, they will have to fight the Hegemon Blade Sect with their lives on the line.

Dang Sun squeezed his eyes shut and said.

“I will send a person to Shaolin to ask for the clan head’s answer. And just in case, prepare to leave.”

“Uncle! We are the Sichuan Dang Clan. Are you really thinking of leaving this land?”

“This is only for a one-in-a-million chance.”

There was no strength in Dang Sun’s voice as he answered.

* * *

The Sichuan Dang Clan endured the immediate humiliation and bought a grace period of one month.

The ordeal was not over, but they had bought a little time.

However…

“Uaaah!”

“I’ll kill you!”

There were also places that could not.

Another prestigious Orthodox sect of Sichuan, the Qingcheng Sect.

This sect, with its straight and upright character like a flying arrow, rejected the Hegemon Blade Sect’s proposal outright and declared that they would fight back.

At that…

[Then there’s no need to wait for a month, is there? It’s a bother to make the long trip here twice.]

With that one word from the Poisonous Heart Hand, Jeok Il, the war began immediately.

The martial artists of the Qingcheng Sect did their best to fight the enemy.

But the martial artists brought by the Hegemon Blade Sect were far more numerous.

Above all…

“Hahahaha, it’s been a while since we’ve had a feast.”

“Everyone, come at me. I’ll take down the sign of the Qingcheng Sect today.”

Among the subordinates who were considered ordinary cannon fodder, disciples of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor were mixed in.

Although they were disciples ranked below the hundredth, each of them had reached at least the peak or transcendent realm.

As they ran rampant simultaneously, the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect screamed and died from all directions.

“You baaaastard!”

Enraged by the brutal deaths of his disciples, the Sect Master of the Qingcheng Sect, the Wind Mountain Great Tiger, Lee Jong, drew his sword and stepped forward.

However…

“Consider it an honor. To die by my hand.”

Against the Poisonous Heart Hand, Jeok Il, Sect Master Lee Jong did not last ten seconds.

POW!

“Keok!”

Sect Master Lee Jong, who was hit by a palm technique that shattered his internal organs, died instantly.

“Sect Master!”

“Uaaagh!”

“You villain!”

Seeing that, the martial artists of the Qingcheng Sect rushed forward, erupting with anger, but…

“Pathetic things.”

What awaited them was a cruel reality.

Half a day later.

“Clean. Good. We’re going back.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

They left, with the burning Qingcheng Sect behind them.
