At the very moment the battle that would determine the future of Shanxi’s martial world began—High above in the sky.

    The pale blue moonlight wrapped softly around the figure of a woman standing atop a single sword.

    Baek Seo-goon stood balanced on the blade, gazing downward.

    The deafening roar of the winds howled in her ears, yet she did not blink even once.

    From outside the formation of reinforced sorcery conjured by the Zhuge Clan Leader, she observed the battle. Her eyes, tracking the clashes of some of the world’s most formidable warriors, never ceased their minute movements.

    Kugoong! Kuung!

    Shockwaves surged beyond the boundary of the formation’s barrier, subtly shaking even the sword beneath her feet.

    "Reincarnation of the Hidden Dragon."

    The Zhuge Clan Leader’s martial prowess was truly overwhelming.

    Perhaps it was because he had accumulated immense knowledge and cultivation while receiving full support from Yeoryeong and the Blade Specters.

    With no Sword Sage restraining him, he had spent an extended period establishing the magical battle formation, pushing himself right beneath the Sword Sage’s chin. And now—

    Now, he might even stand on equal ground with the Lord of Simmu-ryeon.

    Since the formation of the Murim Alliance, there had been much talk in the upper echelons of the martial world.

    A member of the Zhuge Family—where an astronomical fortune was required to achieve completion as a martial artist—was gathering the resources of the martial world under the guise of his own ambitions.

    And indeed, in later years, the flow of massive funds directed toward the Murim Alliance had mysteriously faded from record.

    However, the rallying cry to overthrow Ipwang Fortress had been at its peak, and thus, the Zhuge Clan Leader had secured a path to complete his martial arts even after leaving the alliance.

    His position as the Grand Commander of the Murim Alliance, along with his collusion with two factions of the Thirteen Heavens, had led to this result.

    "Zhuge’s Secret Art, Treasure Blossom Divine Technique."

    Masters of sorcery-based martial arts were typically incapable of fully unleashing their power.

    Even conjuring a single fireball required delicate internal energy manipulation and incantations, leaving them vulnerable to swift swordsmen who could decapitate them before they finished casting.

    For this reason, the Zhuge Clan Leader had always been considered the weakest among the Eight Clan Leaders in direct combat.

    But if an absolute master of sorcery had the chance to establish his domain completely—

    If this was Zhuge’s Clan Leader, renowned as a supreme expert even in an unprepared state—

    Clang! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaang—!

    The battle unfolding beneath that barrier would shape the future of the martial world.

    No matter how long the supreme experts of this world continued to grow in strength, the Zhuge Clan Leader’s explosive increase in power had surpassed the boundaries of conventional wisdom—at least, it was still within the realm of comprehension.

    Unlike the enigmatic growth of the Blade Specters’ master.

    Carrier pigeons had already taken flight from the Gongya Family in all directions, their wings carrying messages that would soon alter the stance of every martial sect.

    "But..."

    Baek Seo-goon’s narrowed eyes shifted sideways.
