Chapter 159
The two stood facing each other with the formation boundary between them.
Yu Gang placed his hand on the cliff that blocked his path.
A solid stone wall—cold, rough, and real.
But he knew.
Beyond this wall was Seolhwa.
He did not know why she was there, but beyond this wall, drawn by an unknown force, was that girl.
Yu Gang could tell.
“You know, I... left Mount Hua.”
Thinking she was beyond this wall, the words he had long held back began to flow out on their own.
“The Sect Leader and the elders said it would be fine if I stayed, but I could not do that. That person who killed my martial uncles and seniors and juniors...”
His voice began to tremble, so he paused and took a slow breath.
That girl was still beyond the wall.
