"What sound is that?" Suddenly, someone tilted their ear to listen.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"What sound? Maybe you heard wrong?"
"No, listen carefully..."
As the words fell, everyone's expressions turned uncertain because a soft 'ding' was indeed heard beside their ears, as if someone was flicking a metallic object.
Initially, the sound was light and infrequent, but it quickly grew louder, and the 'ding ding' sound became continuous.
"Where is that sound coming from?"
The crowd's faces changed color. At this point, the sound appeared right next to their ears as if someone was causing a commotion, but they couldn't see anything!
The next moment, a valiant voice suddenly sounded beside their ears, shocking everyone.
"Pang Huanyin of Ziwei Dao Palace here to pay respects. Please open the gates!"
"Ziwei Dao Palace..."
"Pang Huanyin?"
The group of guarding cultivators were dumbfounded.
