I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 84

Martial artists in the jianghu who obsess over personal power would rush straight to the Kunlun Mountains.

‘Not only orthodox and unorthodox sects, but even independent martial artists will flock there.’

I’ve received ample medicinal herbs, weapons, and martial arts training from Mount Hua, allowing me to reach a cultivation level unusually high for my age. One might say I grew up smoothly—or, less kindly, like a hothouse flower.

Yet most martial artists in the jianghu aren’t so fortunate. It’s common for them to pounce eagerly on any opportunity to obtain rare herbs, secret manuals, or weapons.

‘Accidents will surely happen during the rush, and once they arrive, fights are virtually guaranteed.’

If they’d wanted to keep it secret, they could’ve just done it in some random mountain in Xinjiang—but choosing Qinghai of all places makes this deeply suspicious. Still, probably no one will back out because of that suspicion.

‘It’s understandable to worry about the chaos.’

Of course, even the Five Great Clans or the Nine Sects and Eight Schools—though less desperate—wouldn’t withdraw either. Unless something major happened within their own clan, like with the Murong Clan, they’d still need to investigate such suspicious matters thoroughly to protect their own interests.

This truly was a critical issue.

Seeing my expression, the Leader of the Martial Alliance must have realized I understood, so he spoke again.

“This is what happened. Thus, we agreed to send a vanguard. To maintain secrecy, we’ll dispatch only a small group—selecting disciples or elders known for discretion from each sect—to first dismantle the array, prepare for possible combat, and conduct a preliminary exploration of Bidong.”

Hearing the vanguard’s requirements immediately reminded me of Master beside me. The conditions practically amounted to saying, “Master absolutely must be included in the vanguard,” even if indirectly.

‘Though the final decision rests with the Sect Leader.’

While I was thinking this, the Leader shifted his gaze from me and raised his voice slightly to address everyone else in the meeting hall.

“However, now that the entire orthodox martial world knows, it won’t take long before the Heukcheon Sect hears rumors too. Beyond our original plan, we must also guard against unorthodox or independent martial artists swarming the Kunlun Mountains, so we should increase the vanguard’s size. What do you think?”
