In Tianyong City, within the Black Qilin Forbidden Land.
Dugu Xiu and the High Priest arrived before the forbidden area.
The Black Qilin Forbidden Land was an ancient stone tomb.
To enter the stone tomb, one must pass through nine stone gates, each guarded by a special magic restriction.
A single misstep could activate the mechanisms.
Inside the forbidden area, the ancestral tablets of successive Black Qilin Clan Leaders were enshrined. This place was arranged with an ancient magic array. Dugu Xiu had only visited here once before, during the ancestral recognition ceremony, led by Hei Yao.
Upon hearing of Hei Linlin's death, Hei Yao flew into a rage and led a hundred thousand Black Qilin Army troops to besiege Luochuan City.
Hei Yao initially intended to have Dugu Xiu lead the charge, but Dugu Xiu claimed that Tianyong City was poorly defended at that moment and needed someone to guard it.
