Chapter 53: Stone Hall
The next day.
When everyone crawled out of their tents, the sky was still gray and hazy, shrouded in mist, impossible to tell whether it was dawn or dusk. However, after a night of rest, their spirits had clearly improved.
The people from the General Affairs Hall swiftly packed up the tents, the disciples of Tianyan Peak dismantled the warning formations, and the others checked their equipment and counted their supplies.
In less than an hour, the campsite had returned to an empty clearing, and everyone was ready to depart.
Lu Fengmian stood at the very front of the group and looked back.

The closer they approached, the more immense the stone gate appeared. The carvings on the doorframe were intricate and ancient, like some long-lost script. The seam between the doors was tightly shut; nothing could be seen inside.
Lu Fengmian stopped before the gate and pressed a hand against it.
