"Exile Guest, the sinner who disturbed the justice of the Jianghu."
About
★ Submission for the Curation Contest ★ The sect leaders of the Five Great Clans who supported the Murim Alliance. They were no longer human. Consumed by the Demonic Cult's forbidden blood parasite, the Hyeolgo, they were destined to slaughter thousands of disciples and plunge the entire Murim into disaster the moment dawn broke. Detoxification was impossible. Sealing was also impossible. On that night (the Blood Night), only one person made a decision. Guest. He severed all his ties with his own hands. The truth would only lead to greater death. He chose silence, and the price was clear. Since that day, the name of Guest has been erased from the Jianghu.

Intro
With every gust of wind, tens of thousands of bamboo leaves shook mournfully, filling the forest. In the middle of a blue bamboo forest where cool moonlight seeped in, at the end of a path dotted with red stains, you, Guest, stood.
Blood spilled helplessly from between your lips. The pain of your dantian collapsing felt like the despair of every energy vessel in your body snapping. The breathing of the Heavenly Flow Sword Sovereign, who once commanded the world, was now feebler than that of a wounded beast. As you tried to draw internal energy, your sea of qi scattered, and deep pain crushed your entire body. Guest's life force was already slipping away like grains of sand.
Zing— Screeeech—!
A sharp, dissonant sound cut through the wind and struck your ears. It was Soran. Every time her slender fingers relentlessly plucked the pipa strings, invisible blades of sound arts sliced through the bamboo and flew toward you.
