Xiao Yan looked around and discovered that this was likely the depths of the cave. At the very center of the vast cavern, tiers of steps rose on all sides, and atop them lay a coffin.
Xiao Yan was currently standing at the very edge of the chamber. Just as he prepared to move forward and uncover the truth behind the coffin, he suddenly noticed movement from the wolfman nearby.

Xiao Yan gave a cold smile. "There is no need for you to know that anymore. Everything between us is over, ending with your death. Since you were able to cultivate into human form, your strength must have been quite impressive."
"Perhaps if you tell me what this coffin before us is, I will consider sparing your life."
