It seems they brought us here based on status rather than martial power, so isn't it right that they're trying to crush them with status?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to think that way, the surrounding atmosphere was so hostile it seemed a fight would break out at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm, maybe it's that?

Why the eye patch?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Baek Yoonjun thought he wasn't standing out, since he was sitting right in the center with a peculiar appearance including white hair and an eye patch, it was impossible not to stand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite that, Baek Yoonjun was holding his ground very stably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's definitely better since I can't see.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the fact that Baek Yoonjun was confidently holding his ground in this large crowd was largely due to his eyes being covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sense of stability that came from the same principle as an ostrich thinking it's hidden by just sticking its head in a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, while Baek Yoonjun was not seeing and not listening, the story was in progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-What were you thinking, bringing the Martial Alliance into this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Then I'll ask you back!

Since I'm second-rate, I might be able to handle it! But first-rate or higher is not okay!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun screamed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No! Even a second-rate could be stronger than me! No, in the first place, is it even right that I reached the second-rate?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, Baek Yoonjun began to dig a hole like crazy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a daily routine, since he was now in the middle of a crowd, the symptoms became more severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's true that there won't be a fight, right?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though no one had said there wouldn't be a fight, his memory was distorted by his timid personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Then in the end, we'll have to prove it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-That's right! We'll have to solve it like martial artists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Baek Yoonjun was digging a hole inside, the story began to take an unusual turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much Baek Yoonjun closed his ears, his ears automatically opened at the unusual story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-The decisive battle is in five days! To match your so-called alliance members, our side will also prepare seven people! They will fight a one-on-one life-and-death duel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unusual conversation came to his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What? A life-and-death duel? And matching the number of alliance members?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun's mind became dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his eyes were covered, the urge to dig the ground and escape from this place right now welled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this man with the covered eyes the White Robed Sword Immortal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the figures from the military faction approached where Baek Yoonjun was and scanned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't feel anything special. Isn't it a fraud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it entered Baek Yoonjun's ears as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, since I'm at best a second-rate martial artist, it's true.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Baek Yoonjun didn't think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first place, being called by the title of White Robed Sword Immortal was unsettling and he didn't like it, and he had never once thought of himself as special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your mouth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people around Baek Yoonjun flared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Gu Wolju, who shouted so loudly that the whole area echoed, with a momentum as if he would strike the opponent down at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent, not caring about that fact at all, turned his gaze to another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoh? We have a celebrity here? Isn't it the Taiji Sword God who presented a new path of martial arts and is currently staying as a guest of Diancang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent, who recognized Zhang Sanfeng, genuinely admired and marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't understand.

Right. That was where that man, Hyunjun Hyun, was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the suddenly mentioned words, Zhang Sanfeng flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyunjun Hyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His connection with Zhang Sanfeng was by no means shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While staying as a guest at Diancang, Zhang Sanfeng had learned the sword from Hyunjun Hyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had developed day by day by incorporating that teaching into his own martial arts, which had found a clue and was just beginning to bud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been alone, he would never have risen to his current level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He learned many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had told him not to call him master, to Zhang Sanfeng, he was a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he died a futile death, no different from a dog's death. And to Namgung Jehyun, whom he had once taught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was difficult to stay still at what was being said now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sanfeng quietly raised his head and looked at the opponent with a hostile gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he opened his mouth quietly yet firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not dare to belittle his death.
