Chapter 153
Sword Spirit, why did Master commit such evil deeds?
Baekyak gazed briefly at the spot where the Palace Master had vanished.
In the world of masters, speed is naturally paramount.
But the Ten Thousand Demons Palace Master’s speed was excessive. That very excess felt like the way of the demon itself. It seemed like a speed unattainable by normal means.
Perhaps even if all the top masters of the martial world were gathered in one place, she possessed the fastest speed among them.

Baekyak stood motionless for a moment, pondering how to capture the Manma Palace Lord the next time they met.
It wasn’t that he had executed the One-Against-Hundred Night technique poorly.
He concluded that the man capable of moving faster than the spreading cold was the unusual one.

‘Next time, I’ll just face him without using the White Night technique.’
Baekyak returned with his hands clasped behind his back like an old man. He intended to report exactly what had happened on the walk to Uisin and seek his opinion.
