Chapter 35
From the perspective of an assassin, if one had to infiltrate the Juryung Sword Gate right now,
where would they strike?
There were only three possible entry points into the Juryung Sword Gate.
The first was the canyon leading directly to the main gate.
However, with less than two hours having passed since the murder of three sect masters, more than a hundred warriors were standing there, forming an ironclad defense.
The second was the rear mountain behind the Juryung Sword Gate — a steep cliff stretching a thousand spans high, renowned as one of the most breathtaking sights in Yangnyeong County.
Even under normal circumstances, fifty elite warriors guarded it.
Now, in this crisis, their number had likely doubled.
And finally, the third —
A subterranean waterway running beneath the eastern wall.
It was an old channel, built a hundred years ago to divert mountain water when the Juryung Sword Gate was first founded.
Unlike the other areas, only five warriors patrolled it.
