Yang Chan pushed open the ancient-looking gate, which was entwined with crisscrossing vines. He used his sword to slash them apart and stepped into the large courtyard.
Initially, he hadn't planned on taking the conventional route, intending to use the Wind-Stepping Technique to enter the courtyard. After a moment of thought, however, he decided to go through the main gate instead, hoping he might find some useful clues.
As the gate swung open, a thick cloud of dust billowed out, suggesting the place had been devoid of life for a very long time.
Of course, had there been any signs of life, Yang Chan would have been far more deliberate before making a move.
The presence of other people would naturally demand greater vigilance, but even without them, he had to remain cautious. Who knew what kind of traps or mechanisms might have been laid here?
The torch in his hand helped him see more clearly.
