Chapter 69 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 69

Following the death of Yong Useok, Ma Gukdo, chieftain of Cheonro Mountain Stronghold, confronts Yi Yubaek and Yeon Sowol. Ma Gukdo expresses resentment toward Yi Yubaek for his victory, noting Yeon Sowol's terrifying prowess, before committing suicide with his saber to avoid the shame of defeat. The remaining bandits are subdued, and the martial heroes begin discussing the division of spoils. Noh Huideok, initially blank, is pressed by the crowd to recount the battle. He praises Yeon Sowol's stealth and speed, comparing his movements to the sun hidden behind clouds. Inspired by Noh's description, the crowd coins the sobriquet 'Hidden Sun Sword Yeon Sowol,' celebrating the birth of the new title. Meanwhile, Yi Yubaek instructs that no portion of the spoils should go to Governor-General Seo Myeongeum; instead, compensation will be extracted from Shinheung merchants. Seon Jehun explains the pragmatic necessity of profiting from their efforts. Yeon Sowol then proposes an alternative to immediate division: investing the funds to build and manage a toll road through Heavenly Road Mountain. He argues that a steady stream of income from transport fees would yield greater long-term profits than a one-time share. While the heroes are skeptical, Yi Yubaek realizes Yeon Sowol is suggesting the establishment of a powerful, multi-regional sect. Overwhelmed by the implication, Yeon Sowol experiences a sudden surge of adrenaline, his heart racing at the prospect of creating a great sect.
