Xia Fei happened to bump into a group of disciples from the Assassin Sect after making his way out in a twisting and turning journey through the heart of the mountain.
This location at the foot of the mountain was where the disciples who were unable to join the Assassin Sect formally resided. The rules were strict to be part of the inner disciples, and these fringe disciples did not have the right to stay on the Nameless Mountain proper. The squat dormitory, located in the forest around the base of the mountain, was where they lived.
