When Li Huowang reached the entrance of the magnificent palace, he was stopped by a guard who stood at least three meters tall. "No weapons are allowed in the palace!"
The guard had a large upper body and short legs, giving him a bizarre and disproportionate appearance. His face was concealed behind a bronze mask, leaving Li Huowang unsure whether he was looking at a man or something else entirely.
After the guard took the Purple Tassel Sword and the Copper Coin Sword with a single grasp, he retreated into the shadows, standing motionless as a statue.
Li Huowang entered the main hall. He discovered that the spacious chamber was supported by numerous red pillars, each carved with a spiraling, lifelike Golden Dragon—a truly spectacular sight.
Such an opulent décor seemed hardly fitting for a sleeping chamber.
Before Li Huowang could observe any further, a delighted shout from the distance drew his attention. "Come here, come here!"
