I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 161

Before the Demonic Sect disciples charged and the battle began, Haheun stood facing the Sect Leader, exchanging words with him.

The martial artists within earshot of their conversation fully understood the gravity of the situation, yet honestly felt bewildered.

Of course, it hadn’t been that way from the start.

Just as Haheun had sighed inwardly—“Surely you don’t actually believe I’m having some serious one-on-one exchange with the Sect Leader?”—they had been watching her conversation with the Sect Leader with solemn, heavy hearts.

It wasn’t that they believed Haheun could defeat the Sect Leader.

But their relationship wasn’t merely that of the Demonic Sect’s leader and a junior righteous sect disciple—it was that of the Baek Clan’s sworn enemy and its sole surviving heir.

Depriving a young martial artist, who had lost her entire family and entered the martial world alone, of the chance to confront her clan’s mortal enemy was simply unthinkable.

Of course, they remained tense and razor-sharp in their focus, ready to pull Haheun back immediately if she were defeated or seriously injured, and vigilant against the countless enemies surrounding them.

[…Do you even understand what she just said? “Shared experience”?]

[That girl had no contact with him in childhood aside from her clan being exterminated by the Sect Leader, right?]

They had no other choice.

Indeed, for over two centuries, the true identity of the Demonic Sect’s Sect Leader had remained utterly mysterious—yet suddenly he instigated a rebellion against the imperial court, only to abruptly appear not in the capital but in Shaanxi, obsessively sending even his own son to a young junior disciple, as if declaring the rebellion had merely been a pretext. None of it was easy to comprehend.
