Chapter 55
As Kwak Yeon made his way back to the Three Spirits Palace, he thought of Elder Yunhak Jin’s cold, snake-like gaze when he had been sent up the mountain.

The feeling of injustice and suffocating frustration weighed heavily on him.
He had given everything, believing the Wudang Sect was his home, his family — so why did it seem like they were so desperate to drive him out?

He had to master martial arts.
