Synopsis

The chapter begins with a group of intruders effortlessly rescuing members of the Namgoong Clan, leading to speculation about their strength, potentially even the Sword Emperor. They then encounter the Sword Emperor, who claims to be an old man called "Gentleman Sword" and denies being the family's patriarch. While the rescued clan members are confused and beg him to stay, he gives them a speech about rebuilding the clan. Finally, we see another character who seems to be the mastermind behind these events, who is confronted by the same group who rescued the Namgoong Clan.
