This palace was originally within forbidden grounds, unrelated to anyone, yet the Upper Xuan Sect, relying on their immense power, actually wants to forcibly occupy this place. This is simply bullying to the extreme.
Those who can live to reach this place have gone through all kinds of trials and challenges in the cavernous havens. In other words, anyone who has endured the trials and made it here has the right to share in the treasures within the palace.
The dark-faced man thought to scare Ding Fan and the others away with a few lies from the Upper Xuan Sect, but he truly picked the wrong target.
When Ding Fan saved Lady Fang, he had dealings with Jiuzhen of the Upper Xuan Sect, and at that time, he had outwitted Jiuzhen as well.
Ding Fan dared to offend the elders of the Upper Xuan Sect, so now he's even less likely to care about a mere disciple guarding the gate.
