Chapter 160: Unpleasant Encounters (1)
Within the grounds of Heaven's Summit stood a grand pavilion called the Wisdom Flower Pavilion. Entry required passing through two imposing doors and completing three rigorous rounds of inspections.
This was where Seomoon Hye-Ryung stayed whenever she needed to remain at Heaven's Summit. Here, her every need was catered to, from the well-kept rear garden and training field to the spacious halls, with countless attendants, guards, and bodyguards ready to serve her at any moment.
However, what she truly valued most about the Wisdom Flower Pavilion was its strategic advantage. From this location, she could observe the intricate flow of information at a glance.
After all, the Wisdom Flower Pavilion was one of the central hubs of the Seomoon Clan's intelligence network. While it was smaller in scale than the Seomoon Clan Estate, nearly all information that made its way to Heaven's Summit passed through the Wisdom Flower Pavilion. This allowed her to effectively gather intelligence and formulate strategies from here.
"As expected, the Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Clans, as well as the martial artists of various mid-sized sects have all gathered," she murmured softly as she read the letter in her hand.
Soon, Heaven's Summit would open its colossal gates, welcoming even the martial artists waiting in Wuhan and Heaven's Village. Like a starving beast that could never be satisfied, it constantly craved more warriors.
Its insatiable greed was so intense that it disgusted even Seomoon Hye-Ryung, a figure renowned across the jianghu.

With so many martial artists arriving at once, incidents and accidents were constant. Managing even a few dozen individuals was already challenging in practice, let alone handling a crowd of martial artists who were used to settling disputes through force. As a result, the Outer Hall and Inner Hall of Heaven's Summit stayed on high alert.
