The gondong sect block the MC from leaving the place he was in seclusion, but he lets them off. Some female martial master he’s never met before buys a defeated captive from him and before leaving attacks someone hiding nearby who the MC wanted to follow, judging by her fake regret after acting like she just realised she shouldn’t have interfered, she did it on purpose to screw the MC over, but he does nothing about it and acts chummy with her, then talks about her titles great reputation- the MC should already be the strongest martial artist… He also let off some of the unorthodox martial artists who destroyed his sect and slaughtered his disciples, because ‘they weren’t the biggest culprit and just taking orders’. Then he threatens to detonate an explosive device to result in mutual destruction at the gongdong sect if the leader doesn’t apologise just after the leader urges his disciples to kill the MC, but the leader backs down and apologises, then the MC takes their signboard and leaves while noting how gongdong sect will take revenge on them- the leader is the person who owes his life, power and reputation to the MC and his master for killing demonic martial artists and not taking credit. The female martial master said that his personality is like what his masters are reputed to be, which is solemn with a fierce battle history that scares others, but the MC lets others walk all over him and does nothing in retaliation and he constantly jokes around even when someone tries to kill him.
