Chapter 102
After one operative discovered a sword mark, other members of the Black Death Division began spotting them as well.
“There are sword marks here too.”
“This tree has two distinct sword marks.”
Captain Jeong Seop-bo of the Black Death Division tensed.
Sword marks in the mountain? Could it be that the Jeong Family’s pursuit team arrived ahead of us?
There were widespread rumors that the Cave Daoist had killed the Waryong Divine Sword of the First Branch of the Jeong Family.
Since the Jeong Family had issued no formal statement, the general consensus was that it was nothing more than a baseless rumor.
Still, the Jeong Family excels in clandestine ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) operations and subterfuge—it’s highly likely they’ve sent out a covert pursuit team.
Captain Jeong Seop-bo grew anxious.
The Cave Daoist had to be claimed by their Black Death Division—no one else.
As he examined the sword marks on the trees, Jeong Seop-bo found himself bewildered.
There were no traces of combat around the marks—only the cuts on the trees themselves. And all the sword marks were positioned at a uniform height.
