Chen Ping'an's group lingered for a moment where they were, and only after Di Yuanfeng and Huang Shi exchanged a glance with one another did they rush toward the lush mountain.
They had arrived in an area with a large, round bluestone slab that resembled a caisson ceiling. It should've served as the sealing of a temple or monastery, but instead, it was being trodden upon underfoot in this secret area.
