The feeling of distortion faded as Shi and Lind appeared inside a dark hall of cracked stone. There were profound arrays that once glowed but were now dim to even the naked eye.
Lind saw dust everywhere and looked at Shi but she seemed to find it normal.
"The teleportation array is far from the seat of power. It would give time for us to kill any revolts. It has happened in the past." Shi spoke of things Lind had wondered but then he saw them.
There were bone fragments in the corners that only his draconic eyes could catch. He then realized it was not dust all around them, but human remains.
They went down the corridor only to find signs of old battles. It was not hidden at all and Lind realized it was a mental attack. It needed no formations or illusions to make it work either.
The failed attempts to revolt against Xing littered the entire corridor. She left the bodies to rot after ripping out their souls and cultivation no doubt.
