### Summary
The conflict has reached a critical turning point with the direct intervention of the four masters of the Silent Night, the very entity Jin Mu-Won's Northern Heavenly Sect was once meant to fight. This dramatic escalation coincides with the protagonist's apparent mental decline, as he continues a brutal rampage that has led observers to believe he has "snapped" and is losing himself. His burgeoning movement has suffered a significant blow with the apparent defeat or death of his ally, Gwan Mun-Jung, compounding the chaos as the story's primary antagonists finally make their move. The political and emotional fallout from previous battles also lingers, with the grandfather of the slain Hye-Ryung Seo now facing criticism for lamenting a death he did little to prevent. The increasingly intense and tragic atmosphere has left readers deeply invested, fearing for the lives of other characters while expressing a visceral desire for vengeance against the remaining villains.
