Without further delay, the three of them set out, leaving the manor behind. Yoon Doowon led the way, his movements were swift and confident, while Jeoyoon and Ahn followed closely.
As they made their way through the dense forest, Yoon Doowon occasionally paused to check their surroundings, his eyes scanning for any sign of danger or a clue that might lead them to the Crane Faction's hideout.
Hours passed, the sun dipping lower in the sky, casting long shadows through the trees. Jeoyoon's anxiety grew with each passing moment, his mind consumed with thoughts of his sister. Was she safe? Was she frightened? He pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand.
Finally, as dusk settled in, Yoon Doowon halted, his eyes narrowing as he surveyed the area ahead. "We're close," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I recognize this place. The Crane Faction often uses old temples or abandoned villages as their hideouts. There should be one not far from here."
