Chapter 356: The Stories Afterward – Part 1
Lee Geon, the fifth disciple of the Blue Star Hermit, who had descended from the mountains after a long absence, sensed the familiar aura waiting for him and greeted them with a bright smile.
“Senior Brother! It’s been ages! Have you been well all this time?!”
Hwa Yeong-bin, the disciple of the Cheongseong Sect who had long strived to eradicate the Blood Cult of Sichuan Province and was also Seon Woo-jin’s sworn brother, greeted him warmly with a faint smile.
“Long time no see, disciple. You seem to have grown stronger since last we met. Now, this inadequate elder brother can scarcely even guess at the heights you’ve reached.”
This blind prodigy disciple had been holed up in the mountains since parting ways with Seon Woo-jin’s group, devoting himself solely to training.
But considering that time amounted to only about a year, he wondered how much change could have occurred…

Hwa Yeong-bin, who hadn’t yet surpassed the peak level barrier, couldn’t help but marvel at the astonishing progress of the priest who had once been inferior to him.
It seemed almost impossible that such progress could be made in such a short time.
But as Hwayoung-bin pondered this, a certain face suddenly came to mind, and he immediately understood.
‘Come to think of it, there are those who surpass even that…’
Hwayoung-bin recalled the astonishing progress of Seonwoo-jin, the candidate he had thought would be a worthy rival to Priest Lee Geon, and let out a bitter laugh.
