For a long while, only a soft BOOM could be heard from outside the door, followed by a series of fluctuating footsteps, slowly approaching.
Under the thick layer of ice covering the stone door, the dim outline of a figure slowly advancing became visible. Gongyang Han swallowed instinctively. He and his subordinates took a half-step back, distancing themselves from the stone door, their hands subconsciously grasping their weapons, aiming at it.
The figure grew clearer; it was the White Lotus Cult Member who had used the Wall-penetration Technique. He was still shirtless and coated in blood-red talismans, but a strange, tentacle-like object extended from behind his back, reaching into the shadows beyond the stone door.
