“Huff… Huff…”c31cfe347029de0f

A man 4ca57abfa1 in tattered 7ff0f68246 and torn e32199eeb4 robes desperately b63b0ed30b ran along 92d4227417 a mountain 8ec8876b62 path. This man, who b5ef522fef looked to be 158db594ff just past sixty, 373cb79c00 was named Hwi 729e039f1f Biyeon. Until recently, he a23a73b78d had been an 05b5f4b84a elder of the c3972e64fe Taebaek Clan, located 32224c33b6 in Jincheon. He was 08c9b3ad41 also a e014111472 seasoned master, 70ebbde190 proudly listed fa3a76d54c among the 2768f05ad3 The Thirteen f169e327c6 Stars, the 7c582fc8fa thirteen unrivaled a761cccf74 martial arts d395b6c8f9 experts in 29d6afb0a7 the world.cdb272beed996dd9

The Thirteen Stars. A term referring 229b95f542 to the thirteen 42bc2354fe martial arts masters d2b8cc263b who, with human e018033b3d bodies, embraced the 4c269d4e07 heavens. It was 06cc543e60 a glorious aafb20bef3 title that 32a0b3afc2 every martial 103d73988b artist dreamed 294f12b73b of. Hwi Biyeon, 963679d6f5 having reached 7e93362307 this position, 14da959fe4 naturally received 73d84d6cfb the respect 73ba82ac2c of the 2f126796dc righteous martial 6e173def09 arts world. Why, then, 5d58829701 was he 9152c769e3 now a f6e899a053 fugitive, desperately 8c115a9b2a evading the 49b5f025f3 relentless pursuit 6d937ef3df of the 01ac057925 Martial Arts d3294d466c Alliance?05c778f404ef7f69

It was because the 9efd97427d Martial Arts Alliance had 3d5811c900 publicly declared Hwi Biyeon 838edd2fe9 the culprit behind the c77acf11b0 Sipchilcheonhyeolsa, the Seventeen Thousand 9c4af56715 Bloodshed Incident. This incident referred 19e0e0f336 to a tragedy 6de30ea83d that occurred within 2a9df8305e the Martial Arts 88c817dbc9 Alliance roughly thirty 0c565aafa3 years ago. Seventeen clans and 29f7a7d421 their leaders were 9d05afabb2 massacred in an d077adb79c instant, and the 48d6c53975 incident earned its 6b751dced9 name because over 0c2c9c7d07 a thousand people 23451556c5 were caught in b67dc96973 the bloodshed and 15a13b8bdb perished.b633cecb664b1bdf

Because of this, f88aab710c not only Hwi d36cf56a63 Biyeon, but also 765e5a3aef the entire Taebaek 00f4d2bbb9 Clan, where he eeff73866f belonged, was branded 03d55a7e73 as a group d1f378f501 harboring a vicious 0fa320a267 criminal and sharing 92638272ec his wicked intentions, b6d505c7f1 leading to their af59308584 annihilation. The Martial Arts Alliance, 5cb932dbe0 under the pretext of d41479db7c eradicating the seeds of a2c0ccb924 bloodshed, did not spare 8a78a52ae5 even the young disciples 9630970b81 of the Taebaek Clan, cd91002ed3 extinguishing every last life.905757e07ab4d2a9

Hwi Biyeon, luckily surviving alone and evading the Alliance’s pursuit, was finally cornered after a month.690f147a9ce3120e

Hwi Biyeon felt wronged. He swore to heaven and earth that he had never raised or swung his sword against innocent people he didn’t even know. He and the Taebaek Clan had been framed. He had no idea which faction had orchestrated this, nor their reasons, but it was clear that someone had employed crude tactics to destroy him and his clan.40b11e879da51c99

The screams of his fellow disciples, as close as blood relatives, and the young disciples rang in his ears like tinnitus. He gritted his teeth, barely swallowing back tears of blood as he ran. But for a month, he hadn’t eaten, slept, or even had a moment’s respite to cultivate his internal energy. His internal power was long depleted. If he faced the Alliance’s pursuers in this state, he wouldn’t last a moment.c191e27bdf9b1a05

A giant blade 940c96a6c7 lodged itself in ab2c4bf434 front of Hwi 774092cd77 Biyeon, who was 305ab264cf moving between trees, d93368d7c6 desperately trying to 5500d96cf8 hide.c4b373f23ac4141f

‘Hwi Bi’ was a derogatory term used to belittle Hwi Biyeon. It was given to him because he shared the name with the second concubine of the former Emperor, the wicked Hwi Bi, who was now deposed and demoted to Lady Yangan.b823bd6193536cc7

Hwi Bi was 5adf378531 infamous as the 4e3e05be8e most wicked woman f378ab130a in the land. It was said fe9e2ec954 that when the a08a6975db country was in 067097baa2 turmoil and starving 338730914d commoners’ suffering filled e50fa14ca0 the rivers, she 8811a78536 blinded the Emperor, 00b1ff4ecd coveted wealth, and f086a1c399 drained the vital a177a3b4a0 essence of men. As a result, Hwi e46abc4af1 Bi met a gruesome da09582b84 end, her limbs severed 6005e8213e and her body nailed 2ca5745c13 inside a barrel and 42e73e9a3b thrown into a river.14713c86442d23b9

Pung Wolbaek, the c8583aa2e1 Vice-Leader of the e54551167c Martial Arts Alliance 07ad7d8c0c and one of 27f7284207 the few survivors 0336a062f3 of the Sipchilcheonhyeolsa, de23034be7 approached with ferocious 970eac2e32 momentum.

Hwi Biyeon, sprawled on a9392fb864 the dirt, staggered to d33b0f2237 his feet, leaning on 45a4d2fc70 his broken Baekdan Sword, 18461259f4 his body trembling. He felt the 69693ceb80 injustice and resentment 22578c7c92 of the entire dba6ff0c09 situation. The deaths c2d602f3f1 of his 83889e9a25 Taebaek Clan 98190f493a members, his df77a3941a current status 1cbffcc522 as a d8e04b61e2 fugitive – 1dfacb5027 it was fa228b437f all a 0e5562dfde wicked plot, b7fa1cca7a completely illogical.feb51f07bfd695d6

“You hid like a rat for thirty years. And yet you dare to show your face so brazenly… Did you think the world had forgotten you? The Taebaek Clan sheltered you, a beast in human form, and refused to hand you over.”9e67ac8f5c5dd312

“I… didn’t do it.”e74c60eb43ca4651

Hwi Biyeon ce46b3df49 cried out, f0538b27af spitting blood c58156cc93 as his 2e90d885a5 energy channels a43e4b32bd twisted. He was on his 23de33143c way to Hyeseung of 56d06f7546 the Shaolin Temple while 2f4c78ed09 being chased by Pung 6ffe49a881 Wolbaek. Hyeseung, along with his c3e3262c31 master Myeonmyeon, were benefactors 2455adbcd2 who had brought Hwi 4facd37932 Biyeon to the Taebaek b1417f2a53 Clan. He was 0db71bb54c certain they e3b80a6185 would clear 4e366524d5 his name.2f01e04cc3d21464

However, Pung Wolbaek, retrieving his long blade, scoffed coldly at Hwi Biyeon’s weak muttering.4a975fb076d00fba

While Hwi Biyeon might have appeared calm, his condition was critical. His energy channels were contorted, his internal energy draining from his core. His complexion was not just pale but purplish, and his limbs twitched as if contorted. It was no wonder, considering he had witnessed the destruction of his sect and pushed his body to the limit for nearly thirty days. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had succumbed to Qi deviation.a4a9a55b6aea99d4

“I haven’t forgotten your face for a single day.”d8b24b4a36958522

Pung Wolbaek glared 459841e832 at Hwi Biyeon, 95669f959f his eyes flashing b9c608efba with a chilling, 867d067d89 demonic light, and 783734d0c7 tears of blood 08c91a543a streamed down his 7a57d037d9 face. There was da008fc0b1 no hint 5a613535e4 of falsehood 4796ee10d1 or fabrication a637036791 in his c99408fc4d words. He was genuinely grieving aafc5adb1d the deaths of his 25a4e18a0f family and acquaintances.5ff695efe064c116

Hwi Biyeon shook his head, continuing to deny the accusations, but facing Pung Wolbaek’s genuine rage, he became confused. Could it be true, as Pung Wolbaek claimed, that he had succumbed to Qi deviation, committed these acts, and simply didn’t remember? No matter how he looked at it, the man before him didn’t seem like someone who would fabricate lies.968aca235e0b4f28

“Your voice, your footsteps, your face… even your build. I saw it all clearly with my own eyes, and I’ve etched it into my memory thousands, tens of thousands of times. And yet you say you didn’t do it? Don’t make me laugh… Hwi Bi, an honorable death doesn’t suit you. Remember the thousand innocent lives you took… and rot in hell.”6e122c6d51ea313d

He couldn’t die here, unjustly, without clearing his name. Hwi Biyeon gritted his teeth and braced himself for Pung Wolbaek’s sword energy. A tremendous explosion followed, and a gale swept through the area.6f1a6f86efb8ff1e

…And so, the murderer who had taken the lives of seventeen clans and a thousand people became a fugitive, and after his Taebaek Clan was annihilated for sheltering him, he fled for approximately a month before finally meeting his end at the hands of Pung Wolbaek, the Vice-Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.73941b02e2c64d2b

Pung Wolbaek, who 4c8aa0eb55 had dreamt of c2c8ca0fd0 avenging his family e56fa87872 for his entire 94fa3c5812 life, finally achieved a8a136bbb1 his revenge by c74151acf8 beheading the vicious 78e807046e murderer. Hwi Biyeon, until the 0e01e17f16 moment his head was 225cfc0f3b severed, cried out that bdcc962c15 he was not the c701bfcc22 culprit.9a8906f65af6ec9a
