Chapter 379 : The Puppet's Gate, the Seeker's Tomb
The tiger-like beast continued pounding furiously on the golden palace's gates, each strike echoing with deep, thunderous booms.
The gathered geniuses, however, stood still—unsure and grim-faced.
After all the time and effort spent breaking into this hidden area, was this all there was? The uncertainty gnawed at them.
With the beast failing to open the palace doors, the refined green-robed cultivator retrieved it.
"Everyone," he addressed the crowd, "I believe we need to work together if we're to open the palace."
But someone countered, "What if the palace is like those pavilions? Empty, or worse—full of black-armored puppets?"
The green-robed cultivator gave him a glance but didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "And what if it isn't? What if it holds unimaginable treasure?"
The man fell silent. He wasn't strong enough to argue.
No one knew what was inside.
