"Fellow Daoist, aren't you coming in with us?" Qin Fengming asked, slightly surprised, looking at Qing Hai Lian.
There should have been no one stationed inside this great hall. Yet Qing Hai Lian was not entering either. Such an important place was left unguarded—this truly exceeded his expectations.
"No need. Once the two of you enter, you'll understand what to do." Qing Hai Lian gently shook his head.
