Clark was receiving numerous blows from disciples of the Yuming Sect, but what had led him to this state?
---
Half an hour earlier:
Disciples of the Yuming Sect were searching for Clark, unaware he was among them the entire time.
Two disciples were talking when a strange man appeared, placing his arms on their shoulders, saying:
• "May I become your friend? What do you think, gentlemen?"
The two were terrified and tried to push Clark away, but his hands felt like a mountain's weight upon their shoulders.
The two asked in terror:
• "Who are you?"
• "Who am I? I'm a benefactor who wants to reform the martial arts community."
• "Corruption has spread in this place. The Jade Territories and the Women's Clan are all in decline, as you know."
• "I aspire to create a new path for the ideal development we all desire."
