Chapter 317: Infiltration-3
The three moved extremely quickly toward the Hyeongsanpa on the mountain.
It was almost embarrassing that Dongjeong Sugwi Saurim had offered to scout ahead, since they encountered no one at all until they reached the vicinity of the Hyeongsan Sect.
It seemed that Wei Zhengguo had indeed led most of the disciples down the mountain.
A short while later, they finally reached the outer wall of the Hyeongsan Sect.
At that moment, Sao Lin stood beside the valley water cascading like a waterfall through a hole in the corner of the wall, waiting for the group with an embarrassed expression.
As the three approached, he bowed respectfully and said,
“If this is how it was going to be, I wonder if I was even necessary. I feel nothing but regret that I couldn’t be of any help to you, Master.”
At his words, Seonwoojin smiled faintly and replied.
“You’re too kind. If it weren’t for your efforts from the start, we wouldn’t have made it this far. Thank you once again. And… it seems there are still warriors inside. From here on out, I’m afraid we’ll need your help in earnest.”
“Huh?”
At Seon Woo-jin’s words, Sa Woo-rim looked toward the Hyeongsanpa compound wall with a startled expression.
The Hyeongsan Sect’s wall, built like a mountain fortress on the upper slopes, stood nearly three zhang tall.
It was a height that only a master of extraordinary martial arts could even attempt to scale.
Moreover, water from the valley was cascading down like a waterfall through the hole below, and the noise made it impossible to hear any sound from inside.
