Chapter 844: Ilcheon Cult (22)
The murmuring around us vanished.
There had been scattered whispers, but they were swallowed by a sudden silence.
The only sound remaining was the faint crackling of the torches mounted on the walls.
After a long stretch of this oppressive stillness—
"Did the Star Dragon Captain just say that?"
One of the Azure Dragon soldiers, standing at a distance, whispered cautiously.

"The captain... used poison?"
"No, forget the poison. What did he mean by the Celestial Stream Sect?"
The whispers, though hushed, carried clearly in the still air. The reactions were as expected—shock, disbelief, and confusion.
"The captain was involved with the Celestial Stream Sect? What the hell does that mean?"
"From the sound of it, it’s like the captain was working with someone from the unorthodox factions!"
