Shen Wang maintained a certain distance, avoiding arrays and dark sentries along the way, following neither quickly nor slowly.
"Is the mountain's defense always this rigorous?"
As he discovered the circumstances along the way, he grew more and more surprised.
Connecting the demonic energy on Han Wan'Er and this Cao Mingheng, Shen Wang confirmed there's quite a bit of intrigue here.
Cao Mingheng passed through several checkpoints in succession before arriving at a larger palace. The palace was entirely fiery red, with fire light emanating from it, and a flame burning inside. The plaque on the palace bore the words "Li Huo Hall" in silver base and red characters, neat and crisp.
Seeing this plaque, Shen Wang knew this was the place of the Master of Li Vein, who was also the first alchemist of the Celestial Travel Sect, known as the Medicine Emperor Red Sun Zhenren.
