Chapter 210 Infiltration (1)
To infiltrate the imperial palace, a small number of warriors were needed—masters possessing immense martial prowess.
Yet, they had to exclude those holding positions like Sect Leader or Elder.
Simply leaving their posts would gradually spread rumors throughout the martial world, and once that happened, the sharp-eyed would inevitably probe deeper.
That was something no one wanted. Even the Taoist sects, unconnected to the martial world, expressed displeasure.
“What I desire is for this matter to be settled quietly. I have no wish for it to become known to every Tom, Dick, and Harry.”
Therefore, Gu Yangjeok sought out Baek Danhyun to advise him.
This matter wasn’t something the Huashan Sect should handle alone; it needed to be done with trustworthy allies.
At those words, Baek Dan-hyeon fell silent for a moment.
“Must it be so?”
“……”
Gu Yang-jeok could intuitively sense Baek Dan-hyeon’s inner thoughts.
Infiltrating the imperial court was already an act that would draw the collective wrath of the entire martial world. Sharing that burden with a fellow disciple was something Baek Dan-hyeon’s character simply could not bear.
But having come this far, Gu Yangjie could not spare consideration for Baek Dan-hyeon’s feelings.
The situation simply wouldn’t allow it.
Gu Yangjie answered in a resolute voice.
“Yes.”
Infiltrating the imperial court was too great a burden for the Huashan Sect to bear alone.
