I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 50

If someone from the authorities arrives, this matter will be resolved more easily than it is now. But if the prisoner—who has kept silent all this time—were to reveal that the Demonic Sect was involved in this incident, things would become irreversible.

“Just the mere implication of involvement with the Demonic Sect would earn deep suspicion. No, it would be far worse than mere suspicion.”

Although the Demonic Sect wasn’t particularly active in the martial world, their very existence was problematic enough. Even innocent civilians with no ties to the martial world would find themselves in serious trouble if entangled with them.

This was because everyone who understood the situation knew full well that the power they wielded could never be ignored.

Of course, according to Haheun, the sorcerer himself claimed to have no connection whatsoever with the Heukcheon Sect…

“One simply cannot fully trust the words of a villain who would harm a child.”

It wasn’t that he distrusted Haheun’s words; rather, he suspected the sorcerer might have lied to her.

Admittedly, if that were the case, one would also have to reconsider whether the sorcerer was truly even a member of the Demonic Sect to begin with. Still, they couldn’t afford to take the risk that his claim might actually be true.

Yuseong continued his thoughts without ever realizing that his junior disciple was hardly a child anymore.

“He’s already so soft-hearted as it is—I wonder if he’s still blaming himself for letting that man escape.”

His talent was astonishingly exceptional, yet at the same time, everyone in the Mount Hua Sect knew he lacked the temperament expected of a true martial artist despite that talent. Recalling his disciple’s dejected expression, still stained with uncleaned blood, Yuseong sighed once again. The Clan Head, hearing the sigh, spoke up.

“I’m sure you didn’t come here expecting such trouble—I feel truly apologetic about this.”

Startled, Yuseong snapped out of his private thoughts and replied hastily.

“No, no! Please don’t think of it that way. If anything, I’m the one who feels regretful for not being able to offer you greater assistance.”

“Not being able to help? Don’t say such things… Without the Sect Leaders present, we wouldn’t have been able to properly defend against the attack, nor would we have captured the intruder to investigate the situation as we are now. Moreover, all my children have regained consciousness. That alone gives me immense relief.”
