Chapter 52 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 52

The chapter opens with the aftermath of the Heavenly Road Mountain expedition. In Shinheung County, where all spring flowers have fallen, locals discuss the tragedy with heavy hearts. Rumors circulate that Great Hero Yi Yubaek founded the White Dragon Gang for Hang Inwoo, supporting his rise. Conversations reveal despair over the loss of righteous warriors and the failure of the expedition, though spirits lift slightly when discussing Yeon So-wol’s reputed prowess, with some claiming he killed Hang Inwoo with a mere touch. Kang Mu-hyeok awakens in an infirmary to find Yi Yubaek, who confirms that burial preparations are complete and gold distributed to families. Kang Mu-hyeok expresses shame at surviving while sect leaders died, prompting a stern rebuke from his master. The scene shifts to Gukeun Temple, a holy site in the mountains where peach blossoms bloom, contrasting with the withered flowers of the county. Yeon So-wol, burdened by grief, assists in organizing the ten-day funeral rites alongside Mo Cheong and Jin Geol, who volunteers to help wash and press mourning garments. As days pass, unexpected numbers of martial artists from across Guangdong arrive, moved by rumors of Yi Yubaek’s integrity and Hang Inwoo’s betrayal. The funeral transforms into a rallying point; the crowd, stirred by outrage, demands vengeance against Heavenly Road Mountain. On the final day, Yi Yubaek steps onto a terrace and publicly requests the crowd to provide the blood of the bandits for forty-day rites, eliciting deafening cheers and transforming the mournful occasion into a campaign launch. Jin Geol comforts Yeon So-wol with a Tang dynasty poem by Bai Juyi, illustrating that while flowers fade elsewhere, new beauty blooms in the mountain temple, symbolizing renewed hope and purpose.
