Synopsis

The protagonist reveals his role in the deaths of past leaders and confronts the First Elder, displaying exceptional control over two advanced sword techniques: the Evolved Demon Sword and the Berserk Saber God's technique. He defeats the Elder, leading to a display of his power to the other chiefs. Surprisingly, instead of punishing this open insubordination, the patriarch issues a warning, while a left-hand royal bodyguard defends the protagonist, suggesting political maneuvering is afoot. The protagonist's increasing power and potential challenge to the patriarch's authority are noted.
