Chapter 203: Blue Light (9)
The leader of the Five Venoms Sect's assassination unit, Shadow Spider Um Yeong-ju, had been tasked with monitoring Oh Cheong-yu on the orders of the sect leader.
Now, he withdrew his bloodied hand from the arrogant brat's side—the one who had just tried to break the fragile illusion of the Five Venoms Explosive Submersion Technique.
A few drops of blood fell, staining the sand beneath him, and the insolent fool collapsed face-first into the ground.
Without hesitation, Um Yeong-ju swiftly struck Oh Cheong-yu’s pressure points, rendering her unconscious before she could fully break free from the technique’s manipulation.
"That was close... If this had gone any further, the great plan would have been ruined."
If the army centipede and Fenghyeol had been experimental tools to see whether creatures could create a Neidan by consuming humans,
Then Oh Cheong-yu was the reverse experiment—an attempt to see whether a human could form a Neidan by consuming the bodies of various spirit beasts.
If the technique had been completely broken, they would have had to harvest her Neidan prematurely, before it had fully matured.
They had been working to reinforce the artificial memories created by the Five Venoms Explosive Submersion Technique.
Since the ability to implant memories wasn’t perfect, its effectiveness depended entirely on how many people around her reinforced those false memories.
The more people treated the illusion as reality, the more solid it became.
