Before the back mountain.
Zhang Xuan cast a glance at the closed-eyed Buddha portrait and strolled into the cave.
Almost nothing had changed since Chen Yuan left, he pushed open the Stone Gate slowly, and the thick scent of blood made everyone frown, including Chen Yuan, who followed behind Zhang Xuan and the others with a flicker in his eyes, unnoticed.
"Hmm... the Blood Pond, it has changed!"
Chen Yuan frowned as he surveyed the Blood Pond below, which had halved since he'd left.
"What's wrong? Is there an issue?"
Zhang Xuan asked, looking at the frowning Chen Yuan.
"No... it just seems a bit off."
"Hmm?"
"Your Excellency, look at the traces left around this Blood Pond, they don't match the blood in the pond at all. It is likely that the person here just left before we arrived."
Chen Yuan pointed to the traces below as he spoke.
