The pure white sword blade beneath Baek Seo-gun’s feet shimmered as she turned her head. Her gaze swept across the assembled crowd, briefly resting on the commoners who had agreed with Salhyup’s words.There was an aura of divinity about her, a presence so profound that even those ignorant of Jianghu instinctively bowed their heads.

    To the common folk, sword-flight was a skill passed down through Taoist legends, a technique of Sword Immortal Lu Dongbin himself.

    "A sacred artifact?"

    Her voice was clear and steady, carrying weight despite its softness.

    Her transparent gaze descended from the sky, yet Salhyup—unlike most warriors—did not flinch under it.

    He met it fearlessly, as if he had encountered beings of the highest caliber before—masters like Kwon Mugong, Ma Gwang-ik, and Yeongcheon Sword Demon.

    "Yes," he replied smoothly. "It is an object left behind by Ma Gwang-ik, who took the life of Eon Hwayeon, the first master of the Eon Family’s Supreme Fist. There is no one here with a personal connection to her. Who else would take it?"

    His fingers absently adjusted the black silk wrapped around his mouth, a gesture that carried an air of mockery.

    He appeared to be mulling over the relationship between Ma Gwang-ik and the Sword Master of Shim Mu-ryeon, his natural elegance laced with subtle craftiness.

    "Who are you?"

    Baek Seo-gun’s voice was calm.

    She did not comment on the artifact.

    The moment her eyes flicked downward, a strange breeze arose, chilling the garments of the noble martial masters surrounding her.

    The mere presence of her pitch-black pupils exuded overwhelming energy.

    Her gaze briefly lingered on the pebble at Salhyup’s feet before she seemed to grasp the situation entirely.

    The noble clans and commoners reacted differently.

    Some muttered in shock, still struggling to comprehend the reality of sword-flight.

    "The Sword Demon of Henan… Why is she in Shanxi?"

    "That technique is real? I thought it was merely a legend…"
