Ultimately, less than a day after the news broke, people in the martial arts world discovered that although the "Faceless Man" was a member of the Hidden Dragon Cult, he was never seen in public at the same time as the Cult Leader. This served as evidence that the two were, in fact, the same person.
Furthermore, the Hidden Dragon Cult had only been established for less than five years, and the Faceless Man had also appeared less than five years ago. Both had gained tremendous renown in the pugilistic world—one as a famous major sect, the other as a peerless powerhouse ranked first on the Sword Leaderboard.
Coincidentally, it had also been about five years since the new Emperor ascended the throne and the elder princes of the royal family retreated from the political scene to enjoy their lives in their respective fiefs. These coincidences all pointed toward the true identity of the Faceless Man.
