Monsters in the Mist (Happy New Year!)

"Let's go in together. If we enter separately, we might get scattered somewhere unknown. The Ancient Clan sent in so many people—we need to be careful in case they make a move against us," Hun Yu reminded them.

"Hey, I'm the Young Clan Leader. Listen to me!" Hun Xiao widened her eyes and put on a very serious expression.

"Fine, we'll listen to you. So, Young Clan Leader, what should we do?"

Hun Xiao waved her hand and made a forward gesture. "We'll go in together!"

After Xiao Ke, Hun Xiao, and Hun Yu entered one after another, the people from the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan followed suit. Xiao Yan and Xun'er entered last as a pair.

Half a day later, the ancient Stone Gate slowly vanished, and the spatial rift above the Ancient Saint Mountain Range quietly closed as well.

Gu Dao, who had been observing from the shadows, saw that everything was normal. After nodding in satisfaction, he vanished from where he stood.

On the silent land, space suddenly twisted. Xiao Yan and Xun'er appeared on the ground out of nowhere, hand in hand.

Gray mist filled the area, limiting their vision. Jagged rocks and ruined buildings jutted crookedly from the ground, creating a scene of desolation and deathly silence.

"So this is the Heavenly Tomb? It's really desolate."

Xun'er smiled. "The Heavenly Tomb, the Heavenly Tomb—it's a graveyard. Wouldn't it be strange if it were too lively?"

"That's true..." Xiao Yan looked around, then suddenly pointed toward the distant sky. "What's that over there?"

Xun'er followed the direction Xiao Yan pointed. Scattered Starlight dotted the distant sky, which was overall closer to black, somewhat different from the gray formed by the hazy mist in the other areas.

A puzzled look appeared on her face.
