Chapter 290: Bloodwind Sect-2
Sun Woo-jin focused all his strength on treating the wounded who were crawling toward the riverbank.
Though this delayed their journey to Yangzhou Dongga, no one gave it a second thought.
While treating them, the group learned that they were couriers from the Liuhe Courier Agency and had been attacked by a band of bandits, seemingly numbering over a thousand and skilled in martial arts, while traveling to cross the Yangtze River.
Even as they lay near death, they repeated only one plea.
“The children… please save the children…”
Seonwoo Jin smiled reassuringly as he replied.
“Trustworthy people have gone. Just wait a little longer, and good news will come.”
But Seon Woo-jin’s heart wasn’t actually that bright when he said that.
The return of Seolpung and Jeungchil, who had gone to rescue the children, was delayed.
Considering that people with injuries this severe couldn’t have covered such a distance, the fact that it was taking this long even though masters of the Divine Law had gone meant it probably wasn’t for a good reason.
A moment later, Seon Woo-jin received Seolpung’s telepathic message.
– Jin, brother, could you come over here for a moment?
Seon Woo-jin closed his eyes tightly.
He thought he understood what it meant to be summoned from a distance where telepathy could reach.
Separated from the wounded, Seon Woo-jin met Seolpung and Jeungchil and saw them shake their heads with heavy expressions.
