Chapter 152: Paint It White
Bihong Lianzhou was momentarily stunned by the scene at the inn, her mind blank. First, she’d been engulfed by the fiery inferno Jin Sohye unleashed, then frozen solid by the frigid chill Baek Mujin emitted, creating a bizarre spectacle. One thing was certain: had Baek Mujin deliberately not restrained the flames, the entire inn would have been reduced to ashes.
‘Even the Demon-Soul Sword would struggle against these two… But what exactly was Tian Yu’s true nature?’
Come to think of it, Bi Honglianju always considered Cheonyu as someone he used. He employed him as a swordsman, using him for protection and sending him into battle. Despite this, Cheonyu remained by Bi Honglianju’s side without a single complaint or grievance.
Now, one word kept circling in Bihong Lianju’s mind.
Why?
Could he be a demon hybrid? That couldn’t be it. His martial arts were crude, but not so much that one couldn’t recognize he used demonic arts. With this question in mind, Bi Honglianju spoke to Bai Muzhen and Jin Xiaohui.
“What exactly is his true identity…?”
“What was that man’s name?”
“He was called Cheon Yu.”
“Any affiliation or past history?”
“Nothing special. We only knew him as a ronin. He once mentioned he belonged to a sect, but had a falling out with his senior brother and was expelled. He was extremely reluctant to talk about the sect. He only said he had to hide until his martial arts were perfected, fearing someone might come looking for him.”
