Chapter: 1977
Pyo-wol left Lake Tai and traveled south.
Since his horse hadn�t had the chance for a good run in a long time, it galloped ??at full speed. In fact, Pyo-wol had a hard time calming the horse down.
Horses are incredibly delicate animals. The moment they are allowed to run as they please, they become restless and unruly, which was why they must be given proper rest.�
With this in mind, Pyo-wol took a break every hour to let his horse rest, and thanks to his consideration, his horse had enough energy and stamina to keep going all day.
Pyo-wol found a suitable place to camp before the sun set.�
After spending a long time comfortably in inns, Pyo-wol found it unfamiliar to sleep outdoors. He could feel his body getting rusty after a few days.
Pyo-wol thought it was better this way.�
By sleeping and camping outdoors like this, the rust in his body would come off.
Pyo-wol gathered some twigs and started a bonfire.
Even though he was in the middle of a deserted mountain, he didn�t feel afraid at all.
Leaning against a rock, Pyo-wol silently watched the flickering flames. He had brought dried meat from the inn for dinner.
As he chewed on the dried meat, the night grew deeper without him noticing.
Countless stars gradually emerged in the dark sky. As the stars lit up one by one, they soon formed the huge Milky Way.�
However, Pyo-wol paid no attention to the stars and was lost in his own thoughts.
�The place Hong Yushin disappeared to was called Poyang Lake, right?�
Although the lake Pyo-wol had stayed at until now, Lake Tai, boasted an impressive size, it paled in comparison to Poyang Lake.
Leading to the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake was a transportation hub in itself. Not only was it connected to the Yangtze River, but many other large and small rivers were also connected to it.�
Furthermore, many land routes were developed crossing it, allowing countless people and goods to flow through the said area.�
In all honesty, it was not an ideal environment for tracking someone�s whereabouts.�
It would not be easy to find the traces of Hong Yusin, who went missing a long time ago, in a place with so many people. However, Pyo-wol took on this task mainly because it was related to So Gyeoksan.
After the performance, So Gyeoksan left Runan with his troupe. The fact that So Gyeoksan�s path coincided with Hong Yushin�s could not be a mere coincidence.
Hong Yushin had clearly told Pyo-wol that he was tracking the Kowloon Assassin Guild. The fact that Hong Yushin had followed So Gyeoksan�s tracks meant that So Gyeoksan had some connection to the Kowloon Assassin Guild.�
�Why did So Gyeoksan chose to go to Poyang Lake?�
Finding out why So Gyeoksan went to Poyang Lake was an urgent task. Pyo-wol never expected that he would would become entangled with So Gyeoksan in this way again.
Countless thoughts rushed through Pyo-wol�s head.�
Pyo-wol added a few more dry branches into the fire. As he did, the bonfire burned brighter.
It was then.
�Oh! There�s a light over there!�
�Now, we�re saved!�
A voice suddenly broke through the silence. JrNovels.com
