“Ho… Jin… That child…”
“!”
Shock spread across Namgung Mucheon’s face at the words Tang Munryong forced out.
Tang Hojin.
Namgung Mucheon knew that name. He was the second son of the Tang Family and an active member of the Martial Alliance’s Demon-Slaying Unit. Though overshadowed by his elder brother, who had been born with the Thousand Poisons Body, he was one of the more promising young martial artists, skilled in poison and hidden weapons.
Hadn’t that child once carried out a mission alongside Seolhwa…? Yet Seolhwa had never mentioned anything about him. Could it be that even Seolhwa had not known he was a Blood Sect spy?
“Sword Sovereign… my acupoints…”
Tap—tap-tap-tap.
Namgung Mucheon quickly sealed Tang Munryong’s acupoints. The poison had already spread throughout his body, but this would delay its effects as much as possible. Slowing the circulation of his blood risked causing necrosis beginning at his fingertips and toes, but Tang Munryong’s breath would cease before then.
“It may be difficult, but tell me. If you do not, no one will be able to clear your name or the names of your family.”
