Chapter 71 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 71

The narrative opens with the rapid spread of news regarding the Guangdong Martial Alliance's establishment and subsequent economic activities in Shinheung County. Residents discuss the construction of stairways on Heavenly Road Mountain, funded by the spoils gifted by Governor-General Seo Myeongeum and managed by Great Hero Yi Yubaek. While merchants and laborers anticipate prosperity from improved trade routes and toll revenues, rumors of bandit-like tolls are quickly dismissed due to high trust in Yi Yubaek. Yeon Sowol, reflecting on his past shock at the region's conditions, is inspired by Yi Yubaek to expand his influence beyond personal survival to broader societal improvement. Yeon Sowol proposes a business model involving membership fees from neighboring cities (Eunpyeong, Yangchun, Yanggang) to fund the Alliance and logistics networks. Yi Yubaek enthusiastically supports this vision, viewing it as Yeon Sowol's potential to become a renowned great sect leader. Yi Yubaek reveals a letter of recommendation from General Chu Seongho, suggesting Yeon Sowol study under the military-focused Hebei Peng Clan for advanced cultivation, signaling an impending departure. Yeon Sowol expresses reluctance to leave his home but accepts the opportunity. The perspective shifts to the Master of the Dark Shadow Pavilion, who tracks the scent of spirit brew linked to Killing Demon's death. Frustrated by the absence of the tracking incense scent on three specific figures (a Daoist, a beggar, and a noble), he realizes they are innocent of the murder but must restart his investigation. Upon learning that Yeon Sowol has departed for Yanggang with the faintly detectable incense scent from the Academy, the Master breaks down in despair, unable to comprehend why he remains trapped in a backwater while his target departs.
