Chapter 211 Infiltration (2)
A few days later.
Man Tong-ja wiped away cold sweat, his face drained of color.
He had finally calculated the result by combining the imperial palace map left behind by Do-cheol and the shift change times for hundreds of guard posts.
The fastest route to reach the deepest part of the imperial palace, and the time required.
Until that calculation was complete, Mantongja worked without a single moment of sleep.
Even the old Taoist, who claimed to have read quite a few classics, tried to assist Man Tongja, but it was like adding a drop of blood to a new foot.
‘The saying that he is the genius of the world is no empty boast…!’
If there were a term for the ‘Greatest Treasure of the Central Plains,’ would it not refer to Mantongja?
The old Taoist trembled, realizing the countless numbers that must have raced through Mantongja’s mind.
“You are truly remarkable!”
“You’re welcome.”
Wan Tongzi smiled lightly and rolled up the map of the imperial palace’s inner chambers. He then summoned a spell to dispel the damp, stained air.
“I am the successor born of the Central Plains’ greatest Dao lineage, the guide of Heaven’s Will. How could I possibly be held back?”
With whatever life remained, he would give his all.
Suddenly, a headache surged through him, but Mantongja struggled to hide it.
A thousand torments raged within him, and vomit surged like muddy currents, churning up and down his throat.
