"My lord, it seems something has already claimed this place..." Tuya said, his face grim.
If it were an unclaimed temple, then at most it would be guarded by a group of earth and stone elements. However, if the temple was occupied, it likely housed a large contingent of guardian soldiers.
"Let's go in and meet them." Having said that, Song Jian took the lead and walked towards the temple.
