Chapter 339: Fate (2)
For now, I had decided to follow Lady Cheong-yu’s suggestion and contact Shaolin about inyun—the karmic connection—which was supposedly the key to unlocking the Second Gate.
I would still ask Hwa-eun and Sister Seol, but I doubted they had a better method than the one Cheong-yu had proposed.
Hope rekindled. My mood, which had nearly sunk, lifted a little.
Realizing there were still many things to discuss, I collected myself and moved on to the next question.
Ah, Lady Cheong-yu, there's something else I want to ask...
—Siaa. “Next comes the story about the Bloodshade Unit’s commander dying, doesn’t it?”
Even before I could say anything, Lady Cheong-yu asked as if she already knew what I was about to bring up.
I nodded and replied.
“Yes. I heard her stomach burst. I assume it happened because she got caught by us?”
—Siaa. “Yes, probably. The fact that her stomach burst means one half of the Yin-Yang Paired Parasite must have been killed.”
“I thought so.”
Cheong-yu had once told me that the Five Venoms Clan implanted something called the Yin-Yang Paired Parasite into their high-ranking members. It boosted internal energy flow and made energy gathering far more efficient.
