"Eh?"
During a sweep of his divine sense, Jiang Ding gave a soft cry of surprise.
With a flash, he arrived within Hundred Legged Heavenly Monarch's demon palace.
It was dark, damp, and pitch-black. The air reeked with wave after wave of fishy stench, while all manner of tunnels twisted in every direction, leading deep into unknown places.
