Meeting Animus.

Animo Albus took out a token, held onto You Zhichi's hand. Only now did You Zhichi found a thick golden barrier around the palace. Her master told her, "This is the Grade 8 defense barrier overlapping a grade 9 killing array. Set-up by the master himself. No one in the world can yet break past it. Without the token, no one can get in otherwise, even the soul will be eradicated. This applies to all below Dao Formation. Come, let's go."

You Zhichi doubted in her heart when she heard the last statement. Animo sensed her doubts and said, "You can ask your grandmaster about it." the lady let out a rare chuckle.
