### Summary
The narrative shifts to focus on the profound and previously unseen loyalty of Jin Mu-Won's first follower, Seo Mu-Sang. A major revelation shows that Seo Mu-Sang was single-handedly responsible for protecting Mu-Won's caretaker, Hwang-Cheol, for years, while also orchestrating the widespread belief that the Northern Heavenly Sect's heir was dead. This secret campaign, which shielded Mu-Won during his most vulnerable period, is now understood not as luck but as an act of extreme devotion. This display of unwavering loyalty, highlighted by his declaration that Mu-Won is his "one and only master," deeply resonates, especially when contrasted with the historic betrayal of Mu-Won's father, Jin Kwan-Ho, by his own trusted subordinates. As the recruitment for the new Northern Heavenly Sect continues, this chapter solidifies Seo Mu-Sang's role as a cornerstone of the burgeoning faction, even as a visually ambiguous panel sparked humorous debate among readers regarding its depiction.
