This must have come out around the same time that The Return of the Crazy Demon came out, and I'm pretty sure the base stories are from the same author. But maybe I remember this wrong, because there are no other stories listed from the same authors here. It was also a Murim story with a slightly crazy protagonist, but more of a hidden crazy. When this one is openly acting mad, the other is pretty calm and collected in general, but he's had a rough past. Basically, when he was a child, he belonged to a Sword Dance Troupe and learned sword dancing there. When two brothers, masters, I believe both Poison Dragons(?) chanced upon him someday and kidnapped him to experiment on him. But he Stockholmed his way into their crusty hearts, until they could no longer bear to kill him and turned into their actual shared disciple. But that's just the backstory; there's no real mystery there. He becomes an adult and leaves the two brothers to see the world, where he first goes to his original home, only to find it ransacked and taken over by another group. The troupe's members seem to have either died or scattered in the wind, so now he set his goal to destroy those who took his home away while he was gone and collect whatever is left of the people he once loved. That's as much as I remember. No clue about the title or the character names (otherwise, googling it would be possible). Does anyone know?
