Synopsis

Seungbaek is shown training intensely, driven by his desire to become strong enough to challenge the elders of the great sects and defend against threats like the Green Forest. The group later stumbles upon kidnapped monks and taoists and rescues them. The rescued monks suggest the kidnappers might be connected to a group they previously fought, prompting concern about a larger, more sinister plot that needs to be reported to the Orthodox Alliance. This chapter highlights both personal growth and emerging external threats.
