Chapter 58: The Young Master of the Ximen Clan 3
Baek Moo-jin, suddenly crowned the ‘Arrogant Brat’ by Seo Mun Dan-cheon, was swiftly returning to the North Heaven Alliance. Had he run at a moderate pace, the Seo Mun Clan might have been able to pursue him, but Baek Moo-jin deliberately sped up to a pace where no one could follow. However, the atmosphere of his lightness technique had changed markedly compared to when he was with the Seo Mun Clan.
Before the Ximen Clan, he raced like a whirlwind.
When alone, he moved with lightness and silence, gliding over the snow like a ghost.
Having trained his lightness technique climbing up and down Seolui Peak, perpetually blanketed in snow year-round, running on smooth, flat ground was truly easy for Baek Moo-jin.
Given Baek Moo-jin’s cautious nature, he hadn’t yet encountered masters of the highest caliber, so he couldn’t be certain of his own strength. However, he took particular pride in his lightness technique.
‘There should be no rival.’
Baek Moo-jin was filled with the desire to seek out and challenge any master capable of competing with him in lightness skill. Running at such tremendous speed, Baek Moo-jin finally felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Then, suddenly, the words of the leader of the Nine Heavens Sect came to mind.
‘Ice-freezing martial arts were techniques used by the high-ranking disciples of the Demon Cult.’
Baek Moo-jin retorted inwardly.
‘So what? Does that make me a demon cultivator? Does tracing my family lineage back mean it stems from the Demon Clan? Does it mean no other family or sect besides ours ever used Ice Art!’
