Chapter 44
Seolap and Yangnyeong.
What happened in that remote backwater—barely even a proper town—reached the heart of Everlasting Snow Palace almost instantly.
When the # Nоvеlight # report came, Seol Jungcheon, the Lord of Ice and Heaven, showed a rare expression.
A faint chuckle escaped his lips.
For anyone else, that might not mean much. People laugh all the time. But this was Seol Jungcheon.
A man known as a cold-blooded tyrant, he was not one to laugh, not even in mockery.
That was why everyone in the palace’s inner circle froze in shock. Especially Yang Seoljin, who had been delivering the report—he was visibly shaken.
He’d always thought he understood Seol Jungcheon better than anyone. But something felt... off.
Had he been mistaken?
It was then that Seol Jungcheon asked him a question.
“So, all four major sects in Yangnyeong were annihilated?”
“Yes, sir.”
