The Underground Cavern!
Inside the Qing Xuan Divine Palace!
Crimson spirit light surged through the space with a rushing roar, while an overwhelmingly thick stench of blood permeated the air.
An altar treasure a hundred zhang across stood in the center of the bronze hall. Four ferocious humanoid statues stood atop it, each holding a saber, spear, cudgel, or staff.
As spirit-light runes quivered, the four ferocious statues swung their weapons, chopping the chunks of flesh the metal puppets tossed in into mince before throwing them into the great cauldron on the altar...
