Chapter 27
"Is that true?"
Instructor Hyeonmun's eyes widened in shock.
"It is."
"If the Demonic Cult had planted a spy, they should have been filtered out during the training hall's selection process."
The rigorous observation by the instructors and the strict selection process existed precisely to identify anyone who had prior martial arts training.
"It appears that the Demonic Cult employed a ‘cuckoo strategy.’"
A cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird’s nest, leaving them to be raised by a different species.
In other words, the Demonic Cult had sent in a child with no martial arts training at all, making them impossible to detect through conventional means.
"Are you certain?"
Instructor Hyeonmun's voice was laced with disbelief. The Precepts Hall Lord, Hyeoncheol Daoist, answered firmly.
"The Demonic Cult didn't only infiltrate Wudang. Other orthodox sects are in complete turmoil over this revelation."
"Then the identity of the spy must already be known?"
