Contrary to Ding Fan's expectations, Zhang Kaizhi did not appear to have any intention of taking action; he calmly led everyone towards the palace.
Nevertheless, Ding Fan remained vigilant, unsure of Zhang Kaizhi's plans.
Together they arrived at the palace.
Due to the passage of time, the palace was already a scene of dilapidation and desolation.
Yet, inside the palace, there still lingered an ancient and profound atmosphere, permeating the air.
The palace's heavy doors were forged from Mysterious Iron. Each door was over a meter thick, and it took a considerable effort from Zhang Kaizhi to open them.
The moment the iron doors opened, a musty odor hit them in the face, a chill wind arose, dust fluttered down, and the sound of doors and windows creaking reverberated within the palace.
The group cautiously entered the palace.
In order to prevent any foul play from Zhang Kaizhi, Ding Fan kept his Divine Sense on him at all times.
