Chapter 658.
The position of the Tong Cheon Dan leader within the Murim Alliance underwent an abrupt change.
Ma Woon, the vice-leader known as Iron Hand Sect Foot, ascended to the position of leader.
The official reason given was Yang Dae Ryang’s sudden illness, necessitating an extended leave of absence.
However, all the influential elders of the Murim Alliance knew the true reason.
Mental derangement.
Yang Dae Ryang, not yet fifty years old, had been discovered near Dongjeong Lake in a state of profound mental disturbance.
The Murim Alliance had invited countless renowned physicians to treat him.
Yet there was no improvement, and the cause itself remained a mystery.
―Why had he even gone to Yeong Pa Island in the first place?
Sensing something amiss, the Murim Alliance launched an investigation.
They uncovered that Yang Dae Ryang had received a challenge letter from an unknown figure and faced a master swordsman there in single combat.
―A master of Yang Dae Ryang’s caliber defeated by an unknown expert and reduced to an idiot?
If such a truth became public, the prestige of the Murim Alliance leader would suffer immense damage.
The Murim Alliance ultimately ordered a complete cover-up, and Yang Dae Ryang’s mental affliction became an eternal secret.
The saving grace was this:
All vice-leaders except those of the Wu Tian Duan had been prepared to succeed as the next leader.
Ma Woon, originally a vice-leader, had consistently managed the Tong Cheon Dan well in Yang Dae Ryang’s stead, so there were no significant complications.
Meanwhile, in Seomseong, where the Muhon Society had taken root, a new Chief was appointed.
It was Yu Hwa Ryeong, who had been the leader of the Cheon Geom Hoe.
He was a man who should have died, yet he survived with Bu Eunseol’s aid.
He became the sole survivor of the Cheon Geom Hoe, which had been annihilated by Yang Dae Ryang.
Moreover, he controlled the Cheon Geom Hoe’s vast financial resources.
With him as Chief, the Muhon Society could now operate its divisions without financial worry for generations to come.
―The Killing Ghosts have appeared again!
In the meantime, Murim descended into chaos once more.
The Killing Ghosts, dormant for some time, had begun to resurface.
And the burden on the Black Path Factions deepened.
―We were foolish to be drawn into this promise by the Muhon Society….
The Murim Alliance was originally formed as a coalition for such purposes, so that could be forgiven.
But the Black Path Factions, which moved only for profit, now had to bear the enormous operational costs of divisions.
And risk their lives against the Killing Ghosts?
It was a situation so unjust it brought tears.
―We should find and destroy their source instead!
The Black Path Factions attempted to locate the source to completely eradicate the Killing Ghosts, but no matter how much they investigated, they could not find it.
―How on earth can we resolve this situation?
The Black Path Factions were shrouded in despair.
Where were they hiding?
They appeared whenever one thought they had been forgotten, slaughtering commoners and laying waste to villages.
Moreover, as time passed, they grew more cunning and stronger.
What if they’re caught ten days later?
Then they grow that much stronger in those ten days.
Ultimately, the Black Path Factions organized specialized units to deal with the Gwi Ah.
Ordinary forces, no matter how many were deployed, returned with only heavy casualties.
Yet they couldn’t afford to maintain specialized units at enormous expense just to counter creatures that might emerge at any moment.
―There’s no turning back now either.
And they couldn’t simply abandon the effort.
They had signed a joint agreement with the Murim Alliance.
If Gwi Ah appeared within their territories, they were obligated to eliminate them.
And if they failed to act and turned a blind eye,
they had promised compensation for any damages.
―This is impossible!
But as the Gwi Ah continued to emerge relentlessly, they finally threw up their hands.
At this rate, the Black Path would cease to be the Black Path and become merely an organization for exterminating the Sal Gwi known as Gwi Ah.
They couldn’t continue this while watching the very foundations of their sects crumble.
―Let us seek aid from the Muhon Society.
Fortunately, the joint agreement contained
a clause allowing the Muhon Society to provide support in eliminating Gwi Ah if requested by the Black Path or the Murim Alliance.
But a problem arose.
When the Black Path Factions attempted to seek help from the Muhon Society, pressure came from the Murim Alliance.
―Are you saying the Muhon Society will be formally permitted to operate in Zhong Yuan’s Murim?
If either the Black Path or the Murim Alliance requested aid,
the Muhon Society was promised to shed all restrictions and operate formally within Zhong Yuan’s Murim.
This was a situation they absolutely had to prevent.
When the Murim Alliance pressed hard, the Black Path Factions had no choice but to hesitate.
Yet they couldn’t simply leave the Gwi Ah undealt with either.
Then, at that moment, a figure emerged like a ray of light.
The Thunder God, Neung Bi Hon.
The madman who had wandered Murim not only completely cured his insanity and rebuilt the Noe Ryeong Gate,
but had also begun eliminating the Gwi Ah appearing throughout Murim.
―Strike them down!
Neung Bi Hon eliminated not only the Gwi Ah within his own territory but also those appearing in Black Path territories.
―Ah.
As Neung Bi Hon began eliminating Gwi Ah regardless of territorial boundaries, the Black Path Factions finally caught their breath.
Normally, the emergence of Neung Bi Hon and the Noe Ryeong Gate would not have been welcome.
But now, merely having someone eliminate the Gwi Ah was enough to make them want to prostrate in gratitude.
―Thunder Lord, aid our Black Path. We shall reward you generously.
Since they couldn’t receive help from the Muhon Society anyway,
the Black Path Factions sought instead to escape this crisis with aid from the formidable Neung Bi Hon and the Noe Ryeong Gate.
But an unexpected answer came from the Noe Ryeong Gate.
―Our handling of Gwi Ah was merely a request from the Muhon Society, which had been barred from activities in Zhong Yuan.
And he added one more thing.
―Dae Gu Hwi, who serves as the society’s leader, is my disciple. He has promised unlimited financial support for Gwi Ah’s disposal, so I am considering joining the Muhon Society.
The Dark Path was left speechless, and the Murim Alliance jumped to its feet.
The Noe Ryeong Gate—a faction rooted in Zhong Yuan’s orthodox tradition for generations—was considering joining the Muhon Society, created by forces from Sae Oe?
―We must stop this!
Upon hearing the news, the Murim Alliance immediately dispatched an emissary to the Noe Ryeong Gate.
“Is not the Gate Master of Noe Ryeong a great patriarch of Zhong Yuan’s martial world?”
The Murim Alliance’s emissary, who had hurried to follow Neung Bi Hon’s movements toward Seomseong.
Jin Baek, the lord of the Western Heavens Sect, had rushed to the Star Courtyard of the inn where Neung Bi Hon was staying and was attempting to persuade him.
“If you join our Alliance, the Noe Ryeong Gate will receive considerable support and benefits.”
“….”
“Moreover, is not the Muhon Society openly declared to be at odds with the righteous path? Should you enter that place, the Noe Ryeong Gate itself might face attacks from the Jeongsayang-do in the future.”
“Attacks?”
Neung Bi Hon set down the teacup he had been holding and let out a derisive laugh.
“Are you threatening the Gate Master now?”
“Gate Master Noe.”
“I would sooner bite my tongue and die than join the Murim Alliance.”
When he flatly rejected the proposal, Jin Baek found himself at a loss for words.
In the past, Neung Bi Hon had lost his family to an unknown force, and the tragedy had driven him to madness.
Yet the orthodox sects—or rather, the Murim Alliance—had completely abandoned the maddened Neung Bi Hon at that time.
And now they came asking him to join the Murim Alliance?
It was a proposal that made no sense whatsoever.
“Gate Master Noe. If the Noe Ryeong Gate enters the Muhon Society, there will be no place left for it to stand.”
In the end, Jin Baek conveyed the words of the Murim Alliance’s senior members.
“The senior members of our Alliance have declared that if you enter the Muhon Society, they can no longer recognize the Noe Ryeong Gate as a Zhong Yuan faction.”
“So joining the Muhon Society would make our gate a faction at odds with the righteous path… Is that sincere?”
“It is.”
“How fortunate.”
Neung Bi Hon rose from his seat and spoke coldly.
“Tell the Murim Alliance: From this moment forward, the Noe Ryeong Gate is no longer an orthodox faction, but a faction at odds with the righteous path.”
“G-Gate Master Noe.”
“Even if our gate wished to join the Muhon Society, it would have been virtually impossible in practice. No matter what anyone said, our gate is a Zhong Yuan faction.”
“….”
“But now that the Murim Alliance has declared that joining the Muhon Society makes us openly a faction at odds with the righteous path… I am rather grateful for this.”
Jin Baek stood with his mouth agape, eyes wide in shock.
The Noe Ryeong Gate had been rooted in Zhong Yuan for generations as an orthodox faction.
No matter how much Gate Master Neung Bi Hon proclaimed his stance against the righteous path, the faction’s direction could not suddenly be reversed in an instant.
The Murim Alliance had not sent an emissary because they feared Neung Bi Hon would truly join the Muhon Society.
They were merely worried he might use Gwi Ah as a pretext to lift the Muhon Society’s restrictions.
However, the Murim Alliance, which governed the Righteous Path, officially declared that if the Noe Ryeong Gate were to join the Muhon Society, it could not be recognized as a sect of Zhong Yuan.
Of course, this was merely a threat intended to pressure the Noe Ryeong Gate.
Yet Neung Bi Hon turned their coercion to his advantage, using it as justification to formally join the Muhon Society.
“Lord Noe… surely you anticipated this very reaction from the Alliance and exploited it from the beginning?”
At Jin Baek’s words, Neung Bi Hon responded not with an answer, but with a contemptuous smile.
Having departed from the Star Courtyard at the Inn, he proceeded boldly toward the Muhon Society.
And through intelligence networks, he swiftly disseminated the conversation he had shared with Jin Baek throughout the Murim.
―The Murim Alliance threatens the Noe Ryeong Gate, only to provoke the Thunder God’s displeasure!
Had they acted too hastily?
The Murim Alliance had chosen the wrong method to sway Neung Bi Hon.
To one who already harbored ill feelings toward the Murim Alliance.
They issued a threat: join the Muhon Society and be regarded as an enemy sect.
―How excessive. When he was a madman, they wouldn’t even glance his way.
―Upon hearing those words, the Thunder God immediately set out for the Muhon Society.
―It seems he truly intends to join them?
As public opinion deteriorated severely, the Murim Alliance ceased all commentary on Neung Bi Hon’s movements.
The deed was done, after all.
To provoke him further risked another shocking incident.
―The Noe Ryeong Gate has now formally joined the Muhon Society.
In the end, Neung Bi Hon chose the Muhon Society.
With the Noe Ryeong Gate’s addition.
The Muhon Society instantly became an alliance surpassing even Hwasan and Jongnam, the great powers of Seomseong.
―We must absolutely prevent the Muhon Society from conducting activities in the Zhong Yuan.
With matters having reached this point, both the Murim Alliance and the Dark Path remained vigilant, monitoring the Muhon Society’s movements.
Seomseong, Muhon Society.
When Yu Hwa Ryeong assumed the position of Chong Gwan, the Muhon Society transformed into a systematically organized sect.
He had even maintained the Heavenly Sword Society, which had been called a network of spies.
How much more so could he reshape the Muhon Society, with its abundant talented personnel and military forces, into a perfectly organized alliance?
For him, it was an effortless task.
“This is the operational method I have devised.”
Chong Gwan Yu Hwa Ryeong distributed letters one by one in the conference hall to Do Cheon Rin, Neung Bi Hon, Bing Han Poong, and Dae Gu Hwi.
Within them were detailed instructions on how to integrate each division, each with its own distinct character, into the Muhon Society.
And how to foster a sense of belonging among them.
The Muhon Society was a newly formed alliance, composed of elite warriors from sects that could not be easily blended.
The Wanderer Division, gathered from wandering mercenaries.
The Bing Ha Jeon Dan from the Buk Hae Bing Gung.
The Ya Soo Jeon Dan from the Ya Soo Gung.
And additionally, the Trust Division of the Noe Ryeong Gate was incorporated.
Each possessed its own distinctive character and individual combat methods.
While preserving that individuality, the divisions must cooperate closely with one another, and grow stronger still than they are now.
Moreover, to capture Gwi Ah without casualties, special training was necessary.
Yu Hwa Ryeong thoroughly grasped the martial techniques of four sects and the personalities and temperaments of those who comprised their divisions.
He then offered several pieces of advice on how to facilitate close cooperation between the leadership of each division, how the team members could unite their hearts, and how to instill loyalty to the Muhon Society.

“However, regarding the Noe Ryeong Gate, it would be wise to merely announce their entry into our society and temporarily suspend the activities of the Gate Master’s Swift Thunder Battle Division.”
Originally, Bu Eunseol had planned the timing for when Neung Bi Hon and the Noe Ryeong Gate would join the Muhon Society.
She had intended it to be when their forces became solid enough that even the Righteous Path Factions would probe for entry.
However, as Gwi Ah continued to appear far more frequently than anticipated, she deliberately accelerated their entry into the Muhon Society by provoking the Murim Alliance.
There was no way to predict when the Gwi Ah would launch a massive offensive.
“If the Noe Ryeong Gate immediately begins operating with us now, the Jeongsayang-do might desperately search for another way to sanction our society.”
“Understood. We’ll proceed as you suggest.”
Neung Bi Hon followed Yu Hwa Ryeong’s wishes without hesitation.
With Yu Hwa Ryeong’s arrival as Chong Gwan, the Muhon Society was growing at an accelerated pace.
Now, it was only a matter of time before they could formally commence operations.
Demon Palace, Jamma Pavilion Great Conference Hall.
The Lords of the Sayoung Battle Division were likewise spending their days in relentless busyness.
Now Bu Eunseol had to manage not only the Demon Palace and the Murim Alliance, but the Muhon Society as well.
As a result, their workload had doubled.
‘The Gwi Ah will grow increasingly rampant.’
Bu Eunseol’s gaze deepened as she looked out the window.
She could sense it instinctively.
If they were at this current level, the Infinite Realm would never have suffered.
In other words, the Gwi Ah appearing now were merely a fraction.
Soon, far greater numbers of Gwi Ah would emerge—enough to make the Infinite Realm itself take notice.
‘The Murim Alliance and the Dark Path will remain silent for a while.’
Bu Eunseol had no intention of entrusting the disposal of Gwi Ah—a task that might cost lives—to her forces and subordinates.
‘Since this is a matter of Zhong Yuan, it is fitting that all the sects of Zhong Yuan handle it together.’
The Murim Alliance was originally a den of demons where the Three Realms and all manner of external forces intermingled.
And the Black Path Factions were nothing but parasites, expanding their spheres of influence while draining the lifeblood of the Merchant Realm and the common people.
From the moment she first heard it from Sang Je,
Bu Eunseol had intended to use them to hold back the Gwi Ah.
‘He said they seemed to be sending them deliberately, little by little.’
According to Sang Je, the Inbiyin deliberately released Gwi Ah into Gangho in small numbers.
As if conducting some kind of test.
In other words, Inbiyin’s purpose was not simply to overturn or throw Murim into chaos.
Moreover, considering the nature of the Three Realms as a force,
If one considered that their banners were different and each pursued different methods…
Gwi Ah might be merely one of the means by which Inbiyin disturbed Gangho.
‘Perhaps Inbiyin is also divided into three separate factions.’
Her ominous premonitions were never wrong.
Yet Bu Eunseol never faltered or despaired, no matter the circumstances.
‘From here on, I’ll proceed methodically, one step at a time.’
If the pre-arranged plan unfolded as intended, I would certainly be able to eliminate the Inbiyin.
And the Muhon Society would ascend to become one of the three great powers of Murim.
The subordinates of both the Sayoung Hall and the Elite Division would then relocate their allegiances to the Muhon Society.
By that time, I would no longer be the successor of the Demon Hall, nor the Moo Hon Ryeong Ju.
‘But to reach that point, I must overcome countless trials.’
Once the Muhon Society grew beyond a certain threshold, Ma Cheon Je would never tolerate it and would move to crush the organization in a single stroke.
The Orthodox Sects would do the same.
Therefore, the Muhon Society must skillfully exploit the standoff between Jeongsayang-do.
Ultimately, even if the Jeong Ma Ssang Cheon Je made a move, the organization must not crumble.
It had to become a formidable force—indispensable and irreplaceable to Murim itself.
“Ryeong Ju.”
Wi Cheon Gyeong rushed into the office.
“It appears to have begun.”
Bu Eunseol immediately headed toward the Great Conference Hall of the Jamma Pavilion.
All the Lords, including Yu Woon Ryong, were waiting there.
“Gwi Ah are emerging simultaneously across Zhong Yuan.”
Bu Eunseol took a deep breath.
In the end, everything Sang Je had said was coming to pass.
The Gwi Ah, sensing the absence of the Infinite Realm, were gradually increasing in numbers.
Fortunately, thanks to the Sayoung Hall’s integration of the intelligence network to a certain degree, I could detect their frequency of appearances and locations of emergence faster than any other faction.
“It seems the time has come for the Muhon Society to step forward.”
Yu Woon Ryong spoke with a grave expression.
“If we cannot stop them, the Infinite Realm will emerge again.”
“Indeed.”
Bu Eunseol took a deep breath.
“The Murim Alliance side will be somewhat prepared. The senior figures surely know of the Infinite Realm and Gwi Ah… and above all, they cannot afford to give the Muhon Society an opportunity.”
“Then ultimately, the Black Path will be forced to create that opportunity for us.”
Wi Cheon Gyeong spoke.
“The Black Path is merely handling the Gwi Ah reluctantly, without loss. They still haven’t organized a proper division.”
“Correct.”
Bu Eunseol spoke calmly.
“The Black Path will have no choice but to raise the white flag and call upon the Muhon Society. If such situations repeat, the very existence of the Black Path Factions would become impossible.”
The Black Path, after all, is a collective that moves for profit.
If they were to continuously deploy divisions to handle threats in order to save commoners?
They could no longer be called the Black Path.
“Then it seems our involvement in the Muhon Society’s affairs will come quite far in the future.”
Jo Nam Cheon spoke then.
“Unless the day comes when the Muhon Society can no longer exploit the standoff of Jeongsayang-do.”
“That’s right.”
Until the Muhon Society became one of the three great powers of Murim, I could not openly step forward.
Nor could I mobilize the forces under Sayoung Hall’s command.
“However, action against Gwi Ah is possible. The Murim Alliance is already dealing with them, and we have our own operations underway.”
“But I’m concerned.”
It was Yu Woon Ryong who spoke then.
“The atmosphere on the Demonic Path side grows increasingly ominous.”
Bu Eunseol had saved countless lives and performed many righteous deeds, surpassing even the Murim Alliance’s efforts.
This had become a source of resentment among the true Demonic Path practitioners who desired dominion over the martial world.
Perhaps because of this.
Recently, factions and masters within the Demonic Path who disapproved of Bu Eunseol’s actions were appearing in succession.
“Moreover, I cannot predict when Ma Cheon Je will break his silence.”
“There is no need for concern. From the Demon Hall’s perspective, Gwi Ah’s rampage is actually favorable.”
“It naturally weakens the Murim Alliance and the Dark Path’s forces?”
“Precisely.”
Bu Eunseol, gazing at Yu Woon Ryong, continued calmly.
“However, a time will inevitably come when the Demonic Path side must involve itself in Gwi Ah’s annihilation. So do not neglect your training.”
The Lords nodded at those words.
Since becoming my subordinates,
they had been training ceaselessly to achieve victory and survive any battle.
They would not fear even if the Inbiyin appeared instead of Gwi Ah.
“In any case, what matters now is gaining recognition for the Muhon Society as an official alliance,” Wi Cheon Gyeong said with a smile.
“And in the future, we too will belong to the Muhon Society rather than the Demon Hall.”
Bu Eunseol took a deep breath and gazed toward the distant sky.
“Yes. But such matters will require considerable time.”
My eyes darkened.
The Muhon Society would eventually face attacks and pressure from both the Murim Alliance and the Demon Hall.
Neither would desire the birth of yet another alliance.
“The meeting is concluded. I shall return to Gangho to make preparations.”
When Gwi Ah appears in large numbers,
the Dark Path will soon seek the Muhon Society’s aid.
They are barely enduring under the Murim Alliance’s pressure, but their patience has already reached its limit.
Bu Eunseol intended to return to the Muhon Society and make ready for that moment.
“Ah, I almost forgot.”
It was then that Yu Woon Ryong finally spoke, as if remembering.
“Gong Son Chong Sa of the Murim Alliance has summoned you in secret.”
Gong Son Dan Gyeong had always desired the destruction of the Infinite Realm.
Bu Eunseol had finally brought them down, and she had been verifying the truth of it for a long time.
Perhaps all her investigations had now concluded.
Perhaps all the investigations are finally over now.
It seemed he intended to discuss the situation in the Infinite Realm alongside matters concerning the state of affairs in Gangho.
“Understood. I shall send word immediately once this matter concludes.”
* * *
Murim was suffering from a sudden proliferation of Gwi Ah.
The Murim Alliance could handle them without difficulty through their branches across various regions and with the assistance of the Righteous Path Factions.
But the Dark Path was in dire straits.
The Dark Path cared only for power and wealth.
Even as Huk Ki Hoe, Hyun Cheon Bang, and Ya Cha Moon struggled valiantly, the other Black Path Factions offered them no aid.
Rather, they secretly hoped for their collapse.
The Dark Path was the Dark Path.
They had no allies, and those who walked the same path were merely competitors.
―This is impossible. I shall request reinforcements from the Muhon Society.
In the end, Ya Cha Moon was the first to surrender.
Even pressure from the Murim Alliance proved useless.
If they held out any longer, they would collapse first.
They could no longer handle the endless stream of Gwi Ah, nor could they even defend their faction’s territory.

―The forces of the Muhon Society mobilized into Ya Cha Moon’s territory.
The Muhon Society forces, who had been preparing for Gwi Ah all along, immediately moved toward Ya Cha Moon’s domain.
Then Hyun Cheon Bang followed suit, and eventually Huk Ki Hoe as well, all rushing to seek their aid.
In the end, the Muhon Society’s forces divided into three groups and entered their territories.
At first, the Black Path Factions held no great expectations.
Their goal was merely to become a formal alliance capable of conducting Murim activities.
They expected the Muhon Society would feign assistance while scheming to expand their own influence.
But their predictions proved entirely wrong.
―The Muhon Society’s battle divisions annihilated all the Gwi Ah.
The Muhon Society’s divisions eliminated every Gwi Ah that emerged from each Black Path territory.
They all possessed remarkable martial prowess and were specialized in confronting cunning and nimble Gwi Ah.
Moreover, they desired nothing in return.
They made no demands for compensation from the Black Path Factions, nor did they occupy territories to expand their influence.
They simply eliminated the Gwi Ah and departed.
―Henceforth, the Black Path Factions shall fully support the activities of the Muhon Society.
The Black Path ultimately opened the way for the Muhon Society to operate officially.
The Murim Alliance was greatly angered.
But since the Muhon Society neither expanded their territory nor demanded any compensation for eliminating the Gwi Ah,
they had nothing to criticize.
Furthermore, the movements of the Gwi Ah became increasingly organized, and their frequency of appearance escalated.
Eventually, the Muhon Society began handling matters that the Murim Alliance could not.
―The Muhon Society has saved us.
The common people in the Black Path territories began to praise the Muhon Society.
Meanwhile, the Black Path Factions had forcibly dealt with Gwi Ah, giving no thought to the aftermath of that battle.
But the Muhon Society had conducted their fight with the safety of ordinary people as the highest priority.
And they had handled all subsequent measures flawlessly.
In truth, it was nothing extraordinary—merely a standard procedure that the Murim Alliance would also undertake.
But because the Muhon Society had begun their work within the Black Path Factions’ sphere of influence,
praise naturally flowed forth as a reflexive response.
And Bu Eunseol had deliberately aimed for precisely this outcome.
Even if the Murim Alliance refused to acknowledge them, even if the Black Path refused to acknowledge them—what if the common people’s praise continued unabated?
Even without recognition from martial artists, the Muhon Society would become an alliance of the Righteous Path recognized by the very people themselves.
―If you need work, come to the Muhon Society!
Moreover, the Muhon Society stirred tremendous waves throughout the Murim with yet another remarkable achievement.
Dealing with Gwi Ah required a proportionally massive force.
Thus they began constantly recruiting wandering martial artists without discrimination.
―Is it true the Muhon Society of the Righteous Path accepts wanderers too?
―I heard they even train second-rate martial artists and feed them?
―According to ability, they can work not just for the Muhon Society but also take on wanderer jobs!
The Muhon Society had begun in Seomseong’s Wanderer Market at Jeok Cheon Mak Ji.
Already possessing vast wealth, and with Yu Hwa Ryeong’s assistance,
they had secured sufficient funds to pay salaries to countless wanderers without shortage.
As these rumors spread,
exceptionally skilled martial artists and wanderers who had never received proper formal training or martial instruction began flocking to them.
―The rumors were true!
The Muhon Society directly educated martial artists in need of training and provided them with work suited to their abilities.
Thus second-rate martial artists with mediocre skills all rushed to the Muhon Society,
hoping to become its official members.
