Chapter 59 The Four Seasons Orb
Far from Namgung-woo’s group, a pair of eyes watched them.
“How brutal. No wonder Yi Ja-ryong was scared.”
The uninvited guest secretly observing them was a woman.
Yi Ja-ryong, who had caused the Turmoil in Beijing, had called her Sa-mun-ryeong.
She wore a wide long robe, beneath which was a tight Martial Robe that perfectly revealed her curves. Without the long robe, her attire would have been quite provocative. Yet, the rest of her attire followed that of a Daoist Priestess.
Her appearance was peculiar, making it hard to tell if she was a Martial Artist or a Mystic Arts Master.
Sa-mun-ryeong, as if to prove the latter was true, dispelled her Far-Seeing Art and clicked her tongue.
‘I wanted to see the one who killed Yi Ja-ryong at least once. It was certainly worth it.’
Considering she had traveled over two thousand li just for a single glance, it was an absurd curiosity, but for Sa-mun-ryeong, distance held little importance.
Sa-mun-ryeong recalled her unpleasant past encounter in Beijing.
The one Yi Ja-ryong had been wary of right up until they started their rebellion, and who ultimately thwarted their ambition, just as they had feared.
Yi Ja-ryong had called him a ‘contaminant,’ a Heaven-Defier, but in Sa-mun-ryeong’s eyes, Yi Ja-ryong was no different.
‘They were a Heaven-Defier themselves, twisting the cycle of life and death and deceiving the heavens.’
Though she had cooperated with them due to some personal gain and a connection with her master, looking back, they had been quite an unpleasant person.
