Passing through the stone grotto, they found a corridor paved entirely with Black Jade. At the end of the corridor stood two tightly shut bronze gates, each thirty zhang tall. Terrifying images of lions, elephants, and great pengs were carved upon them, while an immensely powerful, suffocating Demon Qi continuously seeped through the cracks.
