Synopsis

The chapter begins with the protagonist facing pursuers who he identifies as potentially linked to either the Nine Dragons' Stronghold or the pursuit of a Virgin Ginseng. He feigns being weak and unskilled, allowing the pursuers to underestimate him. He then reveals his true abilities, easily subduing several opponents. He lures them further into the city, aware that his actions will soon involve other powerful factions, namely the Namgoong Clan and Beggar Sect.
