�So, should we start by asking around?�

�That�s right.�

�I guess we�ll have to split up then.�

�Yes! We should spread out and gather information first, then meet back here.�

�Understood.�

Yeom Hee-soo nodded.

Yong Hasang didn�t reply, but he understood enough.

�I don�t feel good about this. It seems like we are moving according to his plans. Oh well, we have no choice at the moment.�

It was not as if Pyo-wol had asked for help.

They were the ones who sneaked onto the boat.

They weren�t in a position to blame Pyo-wol for his actions.

If they complained and backed down now, they would be the ones who would lose face.�

No matter what, they had to accomplish something here.�

It was the only way to save their faces.

The three of them split up and began to search for anyone who had seen the blood-cloaked men.�

Since Namgung Wol had a lot of experience in this kind of thing, he blended in with the crowd naturally. However, neither Yong Hasang nor Yeom Hee-soo had ever moved around like this before.

In order to gather information, they have to converse with people naturally, however, because they approached people wearing intimidating expressions, everyone avoided them.

As a result, they couldn�t even initiate a proper conversation.

In the end, both of them did not get any information.�

They only stirred up the pier.

Mount Longhu is a famous mountain.

With the combination of rocky mountains and cliffs, rock formations, caves, and lush forests, the mountain presented a harmonious and pleasing view.

But, what made the mountain even more famous was its reputation as one of the sacred mountains of Taoism.�

At its peak, there were eighty-one Taoist temples and thirty-six Taoist pavilions. However, after experiencing two wars, many of the temples and pavilions were destroyed and fell into ruin.

This caused Taoism to greatly declined, to the point that the mountain was even called a Masterless Mountain for some time.

In recent years, however, people have begun to enter the vacant temples again, but they are nowhere near as numerous as they were at their peak.

Pyo-wol surveyed his surroundings at the base of Mount Longhu.

Perhaps due to the rugged terrain, there was no sign of people.

Places that once had paths were now overgrown with grass and trees. JrNovels.com
