Zhenghai's body laid on the platform, blood pooled from under his body. Wudang soldiers drew their swords, jumped on the platform. The representatives from Emei, Mt. Hua and even the demon cult, took a step back. Unwilling to stand in front of Yeol and Cheng. Wu Jin lifted his sword. "We protect Blue and the elders." He shouted. "Spare no one who points a sword at Silent Edge." Silent Edge surged forward, all one hundred men formed a wall between the elders, Blue, and the Wudang soldiers. "ENOUGH!" A voice boomed across the soon to be battlefield. The Alliance Leader appeared. Landing between both sects. Iron Order warriors, blending in the lines with Wudang's guards. Hyeon knelt down to Zhenghai's corpse. "Rest easy, old friend. You did well. I'll handle the rest." Hyeon stood and approached Yeol and Cheng. Wu Jin gestured for his men to lower their swords. "Look at what you have done, Yeol. One child unconscious. A Patriarch... dead. All foolishly over a name." Jaegal Li stood behind, gesturing for Iron Order soldiers to carry Zhenghai's body away. "It is you, Hyeon who made the mistake." Yeol raised his sword at Hyeon. "You and your snake, Li, take us for fools? That man Blue fought wasn't Wudang. We all know he was one of your dogs." "Oh, and what proof of that do you have? That same man is now seeking medical attention. He nearly died from your poisonous qi." Jaegal Li said as he stepped forward. Hyeon placed his arm on front of Li. "What about the Wudang Patriarch? Was that necessary. You've now weakened Murim’s capabilities to fight against the monsters." Hyeon stepped closer to Yeol drawing his sword. "Your temper, and that silly Tang pride. Have once again cost someone their life." Yeol sneered. "Tch. You would've done the same if he did that to the Namgung family. Dont feed me your bullshit." Yeol said calmly. "I have done more for my family, than you'll ever know Yeol. But this, is crossing the line." Hyeon looked at Cheng and Wu Jin. "Kneel. Join the Alliance. Swear your allegiance. All will be forgiven. Refuse, and you will be treated as outcasts, murderers, traitors who care not for Murim’s safety..." Hyeon gestured to Zhenghai's body. "...Clearly. When the world comes for you, I will not save you." As Cheng and Yeol stared at each other another figure dropped in from the shadows. Namgung Gyeom appeared with his elites right behind him. He smiled at Cheng. He locked eyes with Yeol. "Stupid Bastard." Yeol shrugged his shoulders. Gyeom turned back to his brother. "All this talk about kneeling." Gyeom yawned. "Same tricks, brother. Since when do we break children for politics?" Gyeom pointed his sword at Blue. "Gyeom, its bes-" Jaegal Li began to speak. The tip of Gyeom's sword to his throat stopped him. "Was i speaking to you?" He cleared his throat. "Now, where were we? Oh yes, you were about to tell me how you didn’t set this up to cripple a boy, all for your lust for control. Or some made up narrative of revenge." Hyeon looked back at Li and shook his head. He placed two fingers on the Sword Saint's blade and forced him to lower it. Then he spoke looking at Gyeom. "I told you brother, do not involve yourself in that which doesn't concern you." The representatives tried to find their exits. They wanted no part of this now that the Sword Saint had arrived. This was bigger than any of them could handle. "Doesn't concern me? I'm as interested in Blue as you are. I also see past the mistakes of the past, and the future of Murim that lies in the blood of every young warrior. Including the Tang. I saw what happened... though i imagine it played out exactly as he planned." Gyeom stared at Jaegal Li. "Except, by your own admission of suprise, you didn't account for me. We both know that was no honorable spar. You tried to break a child to satisfy your own grudges." Hyeon's calm demeanor had disappeared. His real expressions started to show through the cracks. "And you still shield that Tang scum, even now. Even after he
