Chapter 402
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
I returned to the Central Plains and went to find Shangguan Hyuk. Before meeting the Sect Leader, I wanted to settle things with him first. The fact that confronting the Sect Leader was a life-risking gamble also played a part in this decision.
"Baek Woong, I sense an enormous amount of spiritual power from you."
Grand Sorcerer Shangguan Hyuk was in the Shangguan Family's grand hall on the third floor. The moment he saw me, he let out an exclamation, and I looked at him with impassive eyes. Then I took out the fragment of the Ten Precepts Stele from my bosom and showed it to him.
"This should be enough, right?"
"Ooh...!!"
Shangguan Hyuk reached out his hand, but I quickly pulled mine back without giving it to him. And I said coldly,
"Let's confirm the terms of the exchange."
"Indeed. If you hand that over to me, I'll tell you everything about liberating the Chil-yo for certain."
