Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the protagonist's determination to reach the heart of the Solitary Bamboo Grove, despite the dangers, needing special herbs to control his demonic energy. Meanwhile, it's revealed that his previous healing was not what it seemed. He discovers he was deliberately given a harmful potion and treatment by a person potentially connected to his younger sister, likely for political gain within the cult. He intends to use his unique stealth and shadow techniques, rather than brute force, to navigate the Bamboo Grove.
