Chapter 29
There was a pride in Namgoong Mucheon’s eyes—the pride of one who stood above all under heaven.
And Seolhwa knew that this pride was not arrogance. For ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) the man who bore the title of the Sword Emperor and reigned over the world beneath his feet was none other than Namgoong Mucheon.
Where he stood was Namgoong itself—the Namgoong beneath the azure sky.
“Do you know what Namgoong is called?”
“Heaven,” she answered.
“And do you know why it is called that?”
“Hmm...”
Seolhwa recalled the members of Namgoong whom she had killed with her own hands in her previous life.
Though they had been defeated, their spirit had never broken.
That had always puzzled her.
Why was it that, even in the moment of death, they never abandoned the name Namgoong?
To those who did not bear the Namgoong surname, the Blood Demon Cult had offered mercy—abandon your clan and join the cult, and you would be spared.
