Synopsis

The chapter details how the once-unified orthodox martial faction has split into the Heavenly Sword Society and the Murim Alliance, creating internal conflict and external vulnerabilities. The Murim Alliance, under new leadership, is suffering from dwindling numbers, resulting in an ambush on the Mount Hua Sect and a broader weakening. Meanwhile, the Shaolin Temple decides to offer support to the Murim Alliance while they are also trying to convince the head of the Zhuge Clan to assist them. The former alliance leader, who is also a notable figure, refuses to return and help.
