Chapter 438: Conclusion (3)
The Green Jade Sword Hall was filled with commotion. It was hardly a suitable place for an absolute master with heightened senses to recover in peace.
After his victory over the Sword Queen, Chui So-ok, Jeong Yeon-shin had lost consciousness and was transported to Shin Yae-hyeon.
There was no risk of energy deviation during the journey. Cheongmyeong and the elite warriors under Ma Gwang-ik had utilized their supreme Soaring Movement Techniques to ensure his safe passage.
It was reminiscent of when Jeong Yeon-shin had been carried in a palanquin like a triumphant general after subjugating the heretical forces of Sima from Shaanxi—only this time, the palanquin had been replaced with a stretcher.
An absolute master, unseen by the warriors of Ipwang Fortress, watched over him.
This enigmatic figure was enveloped in a bizarre distortion of space, making even his features and attire indistinguishable. His identity was vouched for by Ma Gwang-iljo.
He had been present when Jeong Yeon-shin slaughtered the Lord of the Mo Yong Clan.
His status was highly classified—an Assassin’s Sword of Bonseong.
The mysterious figure even produced the command medallion of the Lord of Ipwang Fortress, bearing the sigil of the Thousand-Year Tree. There was no room left for doubt.
Thus—
Jeong Yeon-shin did not wake.
Jeongga Donggong was a technique that moved on its own, even while its practitioner slept.
