### Summary
The narrative introduces a new antagonistic force, the Mount Hua Sect, eliciting a strong and unified reaction from readers. This version of the sect is depicted as corrupt, led by a figure described as a "fat man wearing makeup," a portrayal that fans found startlingly "anti-Tao" and disrespectful. The overwhelmingly negative response is heavily influenced by the heroic portrayal of the same sect in other popular manhwa, leading to a flood of comments referencing the beloved character Cheongmyeong (Chung Myung) and how he would disapprove of this corrupt iteration. This development is perceived as another significant obstacle for Jin Mu-Won and his newly re-established Northern Heavenly Sect, reinforcing the series' central theme of a martial arts world rife with decay and conspiracy. Readers speculate that the introduction of this "evil" Mount Hua Sect signals the beginning of a new "murder mystery arc" and solidifies them as a future enemy for the protagonist.
