Sama Hong’s eyes turned 4ea2a4b771 venomous as she recognized 798c643862 Gong Jayoon. With a 008cc85bbb guttural snarl, a08d6cf994 she flung 90d717c358 a dagger fd14c71865 towards the 3f771108a2 young disciple. However, the ba63ceda8c deadly projectile 8885743359 never reached 230ff789f6 its target. Hwi Biyeon, eyes flashing 4a66c870cf in the swirling snow, 1b0ca25043 flicked his sleeve, deflecting 2b8c59ce9e Sama Hong’s attack.ae311b88e99a2c94

“Senior Brother!”ae36c8d737ad3790

Gong Jayoon cried out, clutching Hwi Biyeon’s robes. The young disciple still hadn’t grasped the situation. Perhaps it was for the best. It wouldn’t do for this innocent child, raised among the kind-hearted Taoists of Simsan, to understand she had almost been brutally murdered.6af255fabb8d3618

Hwi Biyeon 839a3d71ff gritted his 1ed77a6d09 teeth in b14b9365e9 fury.

Sama Hong gasped, 82f6cbabb9 staring in shock 843a1ee238 as her attack 4823fa4580 dissipated harmlessly. Hwi Biyeon’s gaze was c093ad17cb cold and ferocious.

She had only revealed herself after confirming that the only people present were the Sixth Prince, his guards… and other presences weak enough for her to handle. She hadn’t sensed Hwi Biyeon’s presence at all. This meant his martial arts were on a completely different level than hers.4df7238cec710889

In truth, she 9dcdf82392 was a member 8ecfafb09c of Danyeolmyeol, a 2ecf8913dd group of assassins b467545cd6 raised by the 319c3b88fd First Prince in 67d0b185a4 the Imperial Palace. She had received 61044c5ee2 a message years 26307d0dc8 ago about the 79722576c1 Sixth Prince’s suspicious 242f6391e2 movements. The message 032e1d63ba said he c59785c79e was scurrying c1690a7951 around like 5ebe2e4217 a rat 1c1feecd61 outside the 0d7f774ed2 Imperial City, 2e302110e6 unable to 377ae5414d find allies 24ca3369a4 within, and a154e78174 that if 858986f86d she encountered 62bc21e93e him by f6e2f7be75 chance, she 17250e7e37 should deal 8cfcee3a34 with him 428cac5027 or teach f906325c26 him a 89f1bf7efd lesson.8955601d1b9306d9

After careful consideration, she had chosen Mount Taebaek as her base. It was a remote location far from the Imperial City, attracting little attention, yet still within the Sixth Prince’s reach, indicating his weakness. She had infiltrated the Taebaek Clan over a long period and bided her time, waiting to assassinate Geum Wi during his visit.2ff1c43b82f5db72

She had 6435cefd10 settled in 78685e8ed0 the village c0b3cfc358 below Mount 42d00b92d9 Taebaek and 5813f8a2ef had targeted 3a34ef67a3 a disciple 3039b5a43b who occasionally b95e9667f0 descended the 02755bd559 mountain as 39732662f6 a scapegoat. Her plan was to 4daa65348c frame the disciple for 8e7569ada7 everything after completing her 6851c7b186 mission and then quietly 827991df8b disappear.38d97f4f2be54cf1

She and the other Danyeolmyeol members were highly skilled in such operations. She was confident she wouldn’t be caught. But to be discovered at the very end… Now, she had to eliminate everyone here, especially the low-ranking disciples residing in the nearby pavilion.d712ee8f415784fb

Sama Hong’s thoughts were transparent. Hwi Biyeon fought back tears, silently apologizing to Nam Jibyeok. He finally understood the truth: the one who had killed the young disciple in his previous life wasn’t Nam Jibyeok, but Sama Hong. The assassin, who had infiltrated to kill Geum Wi, had clearly murdered Gong Jayoon to eliminate witnesses and framed Nam Jibyeok.cb24504ec743304a

It was heartbreaking.

Of course, Sama Hong didn’t care about Hwi Biyeon’s internal turmoil. With lightning speed, she darted past him, aiming for his back, and swung her sword with a flash. She had clearly identified Hwi Biyeon’s weakness: the young Taebaek Clan disciple, Gong Jayoon.fc838703063cbcba

Tears finally streamed down his face, unstoppable. He felt immense guilt and remorse towards Nam Jibyeok, whom he had killed in his previous life.
