Flames?

About two more minutes later, Elder Qian finally reached the end of the stairs and saw the hundreds of statues that were built in the hall.

~shua~shua~shua~

With his appearance, all the others along the walls of the hall also lit up with red flames. The torches were the same as Lin Wu had seen before, being that of a bird claw holding up the flames.

The torches being lit up made the entire hall illuminated, making it easy for Elder Qian to see. 

"Heavens…" Elder Qian exclaimed under his breath.

He could see the elegant and beautiful statues of the vermilion bird carved in detail now. Looking at the statues he could tell that they were carved by expert sculptures and probably would cost a lot if they were sold.

Just one of these statues would be enough to obtain a small fortune. But when he looked at what was basically hundreds of statues, his eyes lit up with excitement.
