Chapter 116 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 116

In Yuezhou, gossipmonger Gaseopmyeong presides over a gathering of fellow storytellers, seeking to validate his insights into the recent martial arts tournament. He is quickly validated by a goateed companion whose initial cynicism has been overturned by the event's spectacle. Gaseopmyeong emphasizes that the tournament's true genius lay not merely in the martial arts displays, but in Yeon Seonhong’s psychological scheming: by prompting opponents like Lake Sword Ho Gwangil and Storm Thrust Ryu Cheon to share their personal histories before combat, Seonhong transformed matches into emotionally resonant narratives that captivated the audience. The group, thoroughly engrossed, agrees that the tournament’s structure and storytelling were unprecedented. After the gathering, Gaseopmyeong retreats to his study to write his book, the <Register of Jianghu Figures: Hunan Edition>. He begins drafting entries for Yeon Sowol, compiling known facts about his origins, achievements in Hengyang and Yuezhou, and the tournament. However, he critically rejects the unconfirmed rumor of the “Featherless Arrow,” reasoning that Sowol’s demeanor—neat, pleasant-smelling, courteous, and sociable—is entirely inconsistent with the violent stone-throwing attributed to him in Guangdong rumors. Dismissing the rumor as malicious gossip, he removes the entry. He also determines that Sowol’s associates (Won Huiseung, Jin Geol, So Hye, Ha Jeop) are not yet significant enough for separate records. Concluding his drafting, he identifies lingering mysteries in Yuezhou, such as Elder Jeon’s civilian kidnapping and the sudden, strict travel bans enforced by the provincial governor on Junshan Island and Dongting Lake. Driven by these unanswered questions, Gaseopmyeong continues working deep into the night, resolving to investigate the hidden shadows within the region's enforced peace.
