Lan Su had been traveling for days, trying to put some distance between himself and the Murim. He knew that he couldn't stay in one place for too long, as there were likely people looking for him.
As he wandered through the countryside, Lan Su stumbled upon a hidden fortress nestled deep in the mountains. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before - a massive structure built into the side of a cliff face.
Curiosity getting the better of him, Lan Su decided to investigate further. As he approached the entrance, however, he was met by several guards who demanded to know his business.
Lan Su explained that he was simply passing through and meant no harm. To his surprise, they allowed him entry without any further questions asked!
Inside the fortress walls; Lan Su discovered an entire community living within its confines! They were self-sufficient with their own farms & livestock; but also seemed well-armed & trained like warriors too!
It didn't take long for Lan Su to realize that this was another group affiliated with Murim – albeit one much more secretive than others! They called themselves "The Shadow Clan" and claimed to be protectors of justice from behind-the-scenes rather than out-in-the-open like other factions!
Intrigued by their way of life; Lan Su began learning more about them while also helping out around their village whenever possible! But soon enough though; trouble came knocking at their doorsteps once again...
A rival clan seeking revenge against The Shadow Clan attacked them suddenly catching everyone off-guard including Engineer LanSu! Despite being outnumbered & outmatched though; they refused to back down or give up hope... And so together they fought valiantly until victory finally came on their side after hours-long battle!
Afterwards when things calmed down somewhat; it became clear that this attack wasn't just random but part of larger conspiracy involving multiple factions within Murim! And so Lan Su decided to stay with The Shadow Clan for a while longer; helping them uncover the truth behind this conspiracy and protect their way of life from those who would seek to destroy it...
