The injured who had initially received only first aid were transferred to a clinic and began receiving full-scale treatment.
“Guests are here! Wake everyone up!”
As the lights were turned on throughout Mandokmun, all the sleeping family members were called out to attend to the students.
Those lacking sleep were provided with bedding, and those who were hungry were provided with meals.
As the guest quarters and reception halls could not accommodate everyone, the separate annex and even the quarters for the heads of the households were all given up.
You can go in this way.
“……
This is the annex, isn’t it?
This is a space provided to official guests of Mandokmun.
“customer……?”
I was dumbfounded by the sudden, earth-shattering change in treatment.
Because the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was the greatest enemy and one of the most fearsome foes of the White Path Martial World.
Their kindness appeared to the students as having ulterior motives.
“Aren’t you trying to poison me like this? Like a last meal…”
“Hmm, they might be planning to assassinate me while I’m asleep.”
But I’m really, really tired.
The doubt was only for a moment.
“I’m going to get some sleep for now. If anyone dies or gets ambushed… No. Just don’t wake me up. I’ll die right then and there.”
“Me too… I’m sure Danju handled it well on his own anyway.”
“That’s right. That gentleman Jin Danju is really resourceful.”
The students in the dormitory fell asleep exhausted and feeling like they didn’t care anymore.
“I prepared a meal…… Oh my?”
“I don’t think he’s up yet…….”
“These people are from Baekdo, aren’t they scared?”
I heard you went through a lot of hardship in Mukrim.
Let’s just leave the food and go.
and.
When I woke up hungry, I ate the food laid out in front of me.
It had been a long time since I had erased any worries about poisoning or surprise attacks from my mind.
I spent two straight days recovering like that.
When everyone had regained some strength.
“With distinguished guests here, how could I possibly sit still! Hahaha!”
A banquet was held hosted by the leader of the Mandokmun sect.
The students attending the banquet were dumbfounded.
“Uh… where am I?”
Who am I?
Even if providing a place to sleep was somewhat understandable, the fact that the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect personally hosted a banquet was not easily accepted by the elites of Baekdo.
Of course, what is even more incomprehensible than Mandokmun is.
“The liquor tastes very good, Lord. Hahaha!!”
It was their leader, Jin So-un.
“Do you understand that scene…? I can’t understand it, even though I’m seeing it with my own two eyes.”
“I know… to think the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the representative of the Murim Academy are sharing drinks so intimately…”
“But why is our Danju acting so casually? Anyone watching would think we’re really close.”
Beyond their positions as representatives of the diametrically opposed forces of the White Path and the Black Path, and despite the generational gap between the Sect Leader and the Academy Student, Jin So-un felt no discomfort in dealing with the Master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
Still, seeing as you don’t cower even in front of a giant tree of the Black Path, you certainly have great nerve.
“Didn’t he declare from the very beginning that he would return alive from that Muklim? That’s no ordinary nerve.”
Didn’t you guys always curse at Jin So-woon, saying he seemed crazy?
*Cough*!!
When the academy students feel secretly proud as they look at Jin So-woon.
The disciples of Mandokmun approached the academy students one by one.
“I heard you broke through the Demon Realm. How on earth did you do it?”
“Mukrim is by no means a comfortable place even for us Mandokmun, yet to even wage a battle there! That is truly remarkable!”
Even the students who had a vague fear of the Mandokmun began to let their guard down one by one as the Mandokmun followers approached them in a friendly manner.
It was not easy to get along as if we had met a close friend like Jin So-un because the rift between us was so deep, but it was certainly possible to sit quietly and share a drink.
Two days after the banquet with such a subtle atmosphere ended.
Around the time when the critically ill patients were able to move around one by one.
About a hundred members from the Kunming branch of the Murim Alliance, who had sent carrier pigeons, visited Mandokmun.
“Welcome…”
Get out of the way!!!
The students of Murim Academy were startled to see the person entering while roughly pushing aside the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
“Instructor?!”
“Instructor Kang Soon-tak!?”
The instructors from the academy, who were thought to be dead, entered the Ten Thousand Poison Gate alive and well.

Jong Chu-ak, who was more sorrowful than anyone about the deaths of his seniors, ran barefoot, forgetting his injury.
“S-Senior! You’re alive!”
It was then that Kang Soon-tak’s hand, which had been striding toward us, moved like lightning.
match!
With the sound of skin tearing, Jongchuak’s new form fell to the floor with a thud.
Just as Jong Chu-ak, whose expression had instantly turned blank, raised his head.
How dare you!!
Kang Soon-tak’s shout echoed loudly through the air.
“How dare you tarnish the name of Cheongseong!! Who told you to raise your head!”
“…….”
The piercing gazes of the instructors, including Kang Soon-tak, swept chillingly through the arena.
In particular, he would emit killing intent when he saw the academy students talking with the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
“Hah…! You’ve really gone too far as to beg for help from the Black Sect?! You must be insane….”
As Kang Sun-tak continued speaking, Jong Chu-ak’s trembling intensified.
Do they even know what hardships they went through to barely make it this far?
The events from Mukrim, which I thought I had barely managed to empty my mind, come flooding back uncontrollably like fog.
My memory is hazy, but the despair and pain I felt back then are becoming even more vivid.
Jongchuak clenched his fists.
“Senior… I think you are being too harsh.”
“What? You’ve lost your mind! How dare you say such a thing!”
Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!
Kang Soon-tak’s kicks spread out indiscriminately.
As a result, Jongchuak’s body, which had barely recovered, fell into disarray once again.
“How can you call yourselves martial artists of the White Path! How can you call yourselves disciples of Cheongseong after begging for your lives from the likes of the Black Path!”
As Jongchuak’s body rolled on the floor, his wounds multiplied, but no one stepped forward.
Before they were an instructor and a student, the two were brothers in the same sect.
No matter how unfairly they were treated, Jongchuak’s resistance was unforgivable.
Knowing this, Jongchuak also accepted the unilateral violence as it was.
Kang Soon-tak, who had been huffing and puffing and continuing the assault for quite a while, let out loud puffs from his nose.
Seeing how you have all gone mad as a group, it must be all his fault.
Then, turning his head back and forth as if trying to find the culprit, he scanned the surroundings.
“It is clear that bastard Jin So-un intended to shove you all whole into the maw of the Black Dao!!”
At that moment.
Jong Chu-ak’s eyes widened, and he lunged toward Kang Sun-tak.
“Don’t blabber on like that……!”
The moment Jongchuak’s fist was about to fly in.
widely
Someone stands in front of Jongchuak.
puck.
He punched Kang Soon-tak in the face just like that.
Kang Sun-tak, who had stepped back a pace, wore a bewildered expression, but after realizing the situation, he raised his head.
“How dare you… do you want to die!!!”
The person who threw the punch was none other than Nam Hwa-seong.
He growled low, as if he had barely managed to hold back his anger.
“It looks like you’re the one who wants to die. You abandoned the dorm residents and ran away together, so what makes you think you did right to come here and lecture us now?”
You lunatic. You, too, are imprisoned in the Golden Prison on suspicion of being a spy for the Black Sect…
“Listen to this, and I really can’t stand it anymore.”
In an instant, Nam Hwa-seong’s martial arts uniform swelled up as if it were about to burst.
“What kind of quagmire we crossed…….”
Then it shot at Kang Soon-tak like an arrow.
“Do you even know!!”
Nam Hwa-seong’s fist fired, imbued with immense power.
“I vowed it over and over again. If the instructor is alive, I will beat him to death with my own hands!!!”
The momentum was good. But momentum is just momentum.
The reason that unexpected move worked was the absolute belief that the academy students would not dare to talk back to the instructor.
However, it was impossible for an ordinary academy student to overpower a person of the clan head’s rank.
widely.
Nam Hwa-seong’s signature iron fist is caught in Kang Soon-tak’s hand as if being sucked in.
“You… volunteer to be Jin So-woon’s henchman, don’t you?”
Tatatatak!
The Seventy-Six Formless Palm was shot at Nam Hwa-seong’s lower body, and as Nam Hwa-seong’s legs gave way and he knelt, his head ended up slightly below Kang Sun-tak’s.
“Alright. I’m going to fix your mind and earn a thank you from your clan leader.”
Pow! Pow! Pow pow pow!
Fists rained down indiscriminately.
Cheonpung Muhyeongsin Kwon.
Should I call it a relief? Or was it his last act of mercy as an instructor?
There was no bet in Kang Soon-tak’s fist.
Indiscriminate violence against Nam Hwa-seong began to take place.
Nam Hwa-seong tried to counterattack from time to time, but was quickly blocked by Kang Sun-tak’s attacks.
“this…….”
The moment Jongchuak, unable to stand it any longer, was about to step forward.
Nam Hwa-seong reached out and stopped him.
As if telling me never to get involved here.
Then, other students grabbed Jongchuak’s clothes and dragged him backward.
I looked up at him, and he was none other than Cheol-sun-jik.
Jongchuak struggled and shouted.
“Let go of me! Uncle Kang is…….”
“We may not know it, but you are committing the sin of destroying the kingdom. Please remain still.”
I am finally coming back to my senses.
Jongchuak gasped for breath in excitement and looked around.
And he gazed up at Cheol-sun-jik, the man holding him.
Did he step forward on purpose for himself?
But why… … .
“Isn’t he a member of the life and death unit?”
At Cheol-sun-jik’s words, spoken so nonchalantly, Jong-chu-ak felt something rapidly welling up inside him.
And us, too.
Soon, Cheol-sun-jik stares at Kang Sun-tak with eyes that were not even seen in Geum-ok, cold and indifferent.
Because my fever has risen enough.
He approached Kang Sun-tak and blew a blast of wind.
Kang Sun-tak, who had been indiscriminately attacking Nam Hwa-seong, swung his hand to block Ji-pung.
“!”
Kang Sun-tak’s voice grew aggressive as he looked at the martial arts uniform with a gaping hole in it.
“Cheol-sun-jik… How dare you attack the instructor?!”
“I feel like I’m going to die if I keep doing this.”
“Hmph, I won’t die. I’ve drained your strength enough, so it doesn’t matter…….”
I mean, Instructor.
huh?”
Cheol-sun-jik pointed around with the tip of his chin.
His voice was colder than ever and prickly.
Do you want to die here?
What Cheol-sun-jik mentioned was none other than Kang Sun-tak’s safety.
Not only Kang Soon-tak, but also the instructors, whose reason had vanished due to the students’ rebellious behavior, had not noticed until now.
“Those damn instructors……!”
“Ha, you’re alive? Damn it, and now you’re showing your face?”
“I’m right. He’s shameless beyond measure.”
The students surrounding them were all glaring at Kang Sun-tak and the instructors with all their might.
“Clearly revealed hostility.” ‘Ah!’ Jongchuak realized it only then.
The fact that I was glad the instructors survived was a feeling that applied only to me, a member of the same sect.
In Mukrim, in Makyeong, and in the worst situation thereafter.
The instructors who should have taken the lead in protecting the academy students were not present.
And only after crossing the threshold of death and arriving here.
They, who should have died, reappeared looking perfectly fine.
That alone gave the students no reason to hide their hostility.
However, Kang Soon-tak had not yet fully realized that anger.
He bulged in the veins of his neck and let out a roar at Cheol-sun-jik.
“You… madman! Did the Twelve Peaks give you two lives? Or did Jongnam officially accept you as a disciple!”
Before he knew it, Kang Sun-tak’s goal had shifted from Nam Hwa-seong to Cheol Sun-jik.
Likewise, at the moment the Seventy-Six Formless Finger, fired with a stealthy presence, was about to strike Cheol Sun-jik’s demonic acupoint.
Thump.
Cheol Sun-jik, having released his technique by spreading his robe wide, spun his body and drew his sword.
visor!
Although it was merely a ceremony held after blocking the district court, Kang Soon-tak became even more agitated.
Because he had shown his skills being utterly defeated by a rookie junior who hadn’t even graduated from the academy yet.
“You bastard! Don’t even think about coming back alive!”
As if he had forgotten that this place was Mandokmun, Kang Sun-tak unleashed a full-force attack.
Pow pow!
The Heavenly Wind Formless Divine Fist, which had struck Namhwaseong, now raged as if to crush Cheolsunjik, accompanied by a powerful wind.
Cheol-sun-jik fired a sword energy at Kwon-gyeong, who was charging at him.
Then, at the same time, he struck down with his sword energy, causing an explosion.
It is exactly what Jin So-un did in Mukrim.
“Cough, cough!”
As a sudden sandstorm flew in from the opposite direction and covered his entire body, Kang Soon-tak instinctively closed his eyes.
Cheol-sun-jik did not miss that opportunity.
wedge
The moment the ice-sharp sword energy was about to slash Kang Soon-tak’s chest.
Whoosh… … .
A new energy seeped in like the wind in the middle, flowing Cheol-sun-jik’s energy aside.
“what!”
At this, Cheol-sun-jik, having lost his balance, quickly stepped to the side.
And the sound coming from.
“Don’t you know that attacking an instructor is a serious violation of the law?”
A clear voice.
Cheol-sun-jik frowned deeply, his whole body stiff and rigid.
To think this person is coming out of here.
Nam Hwa-seong sprang up from the floor and froze like a stone after confirming the owner of the voice.
You, you… … .”
The same goes for other students in the academy.
They silenced even their breathing at the presence that suddenly appeared in the room.
“If you do not intend to continue, sheathe your sword.”
Even as they watched the sword strikes extending indifferently, not a single person could move easily.
Because that was the kind of person the man was.
at that time.
“Wow…….”
A playful voice wafted from among the students.
Thump, thump.
The being that had frozen the bodies of the academy students also stared at the approaching figure with its characteristic emotionless gaze.
“Jin So-un.”
To think I’d see this in a place like this… You really do live long enough to see everything.
After Jin So-un’s gaze scanned the three people scattered around and Cheol Sun-jik, he glared at Kang Sun-tak.
It’s a total mess.
He returned to the man in the blue uniform.
Jin So-un displayed a playful smile as usual.
However, strangely enough, the students at the academy.
I felt an inexplicable sense of unease in that smile.
Jin So-un looked at the man in the blue martial arts uniform and murmured softly.
“Why did such a noble person get involved in such a mess? Huh? Answer me.”
Yongso-ah.
Yong So-ah, the man in the blue martial arts uniform, was still staring intently at Jin So-woon with an emotionless gaze.
