Four days had passed since we began traveling together.
Although a few beasts had appeared along the way, forcing us to hunt, none posed any real danger. We could have increased our pace, but there was no need to rush. Besides, I had a few things to investigate along the way.
And so, after four days of camping and traveling, we finally arrived.
Before us stood a towering mountain.
âWowâ¦â
Gu Ryeonghwa expressed her awe, marveling at the sight.
Apparently, the mountain before her was impressive. I, on the other hand, couldnât hide my disbelief as I looked at her reaction.
âIsnât it odd for you to be surprised by a mountain?â
Considering she was a disciple of the Mount Hua Sect, she should have been used to grand mountains. Seeing her react this way to Mount Wudang felt strange.
At my remark, Gu Ryeonghwa pouted.
ââ¦Not all mountains are the same.â
Well, that was true.
Still, to me, the mountain in front of us didnât look all that different from the ones surrounding the Mount Hua Sect. A mountain was a mountain, after all.
I glanced at the mountain ahead before turning to Yeongpung.
âWhere do we go from here?â
Hearing my question, Yeongpung replied.
âIâve already contacted them in advance. Someone should come to meet us.â
âI see.â
With that, I looked back toward the distance. In short, we would have to wait until someone arrived.
âBut, young master.â
âYes?â
âYou mentioned you had business here. Is it alright for you to stay with us like this?â
âOh, yes. Itâs nothing too urgent.â
It was true. This current situation was more important than the task I had in mind. Knowing what was happening now took precedence.
I looked up at the towering mountain before us, the place where one of the most iconic martial sects resided.
Wudang.
The Wudang Sect.
One of the Nine Great Sects and Factions and the home of the current leader of the Martial Alliance, the Wudang Sword Saint.
