Chapter 426
The hazy moonlight seeped into the silence.
A banquet hall lined with precious lanterns.
It had been quiet ever since the Pang Family Head set foot inside, but the appearance of Ipwang Fortress’s Violet Rank cloaked the space in an ice-cold stillness. No one spoke a word.
It was a matter of indifference to Jeong Yeon-shin.
The presence of these so-called famous figures from the orthodox martial world meant little to him compared to the years he had spent training Shin So-bin.
—How did you do that? What kind of movement technique is that?
—As your mastery increases, your internal energy circulation becomes incredibly fast. What was your mindset when you created it? Lord Danju, you never even go to the latrine, do you? Since you’ve mastered the Grand Celestial Circulation. Huh? You go when you’re on missions, but at least teach me this! I’m joking!
Jeong Yeon-shin was taller than the Pang Family Head. From his vantage, he could clearly see Shin So-bin’s exposed ear beneath the grip of the large hand clutching her by the nape.
She did not tremble. True to the martial lineage of Ma Gwang-ik, she had the composure of a warrior. But if the Pang Family Head so desired, her life could be snuffed out in an instant.
‘Bastard.’
A blue spark of lightning flickered in his eyes—the Heavenly Sight Technique, rising alongside his violent fury.
At that moment, Jeong Yeon-shin’s vision beheld not the broad back of a middle-aged man clad in an opulent golden robe but the formless ripples of the Pang Family Head’s ki waves, stretching outward in hundreds of concentric, achromatic rings.
It was thick. Unbelievably dense. Beyond anything else present in this banquet hall.
This was not an opponent who could be taken lightly. One misstep, and he could be cut down before he even broke through a fraction of the odds against him.
Yet Jeong Yeon-shin paid it no mind and reached for the back of the Pang Family Head’s neck.
In that instant, the secret flow of the Timeless Bloom Art coursed through his forearm like a spark of celestial energy. His right hand surged forward, racing against the falling moonlight.
Space fractured like a split marsh, torn apart in a fleeting moment.
Sssk.
His palm clasped the Pang Family Head’s nape with ease.
It felt as if he were gripping an invisible barrier of water—undoubtedly, the defensive ki of the Pang Family’s secret art. The swirling energy beneath his touch was profoundly unpleasant.
“...!”
The sensation of alarm burrowed into his grasp.
Not just from the Pang Family Head.
A wave of stunned gasps from the gathered warriors swept over the hall like a breeze prickling his skin.
A cascade of sharp, unsteady breaths shattered the silence. And in the brief interval that followed, countless voices erupted all at once, their words jarring Jeong Yeon-shin’s ears.
“Ipwang Fortress… Violet Rank?”
“What in the world just happened?”
“We must aid the Family Head—!”
