Intro
The Murim Alliance, the Nine Schools and One Gang, and the Five Great Families—symbols of justice—are in truth nothing more than a massive corrupt cartel that extorts the weak and passes down power through bloodlines.
At a time when their hypocrisy has reached its peak—spreading fake plagues, massacring small sects under false subjugation orders, and monopolizing all the gold and elixirs of the world—an incident occurs where a secret letter containing a plot to rig the Grand Martial Arts Tournament is leaked from the heart of the Murim Alliance.
Moyong Rin, the Young Head of the Moyong Family and a leading candidate to win the tournament as well as the mastermind behind the fixing, begins to move the leadership's hounds, including Martial Captain Paeng Juhyuk and Yeonhwa of the Mount Hua Sect, to control this secret and seize power.
In the middle of the fallen Orthodox Sects, the blades of those harboring their own insidious ambitions are pointed at one another, and a great storm is just beginning to brew in the Murim.
Guest hears news about the Orthodox Sects where righteousness and chivalry have vanished.
