The moment Ling Xiao stepped into the Four Seas Courtyard, a cold, damp breath rushed toward him, mixed with the strange scent of aged sandalwood and some unknown medicinal herbs. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of purplish-black light flashing deep within his pupils as his Void-Piercing Demonic Eyes quietly activated.
The interior of the courtyard was far more spacious than it appeared from the outside. The bluestone-paved ground emitted a faint, chilly glow, and various bizarre bronze vessels were placed on both sides, some still bearing dark red stains on their surfaces. Ling Xiao's spiritual sense spread outward like invisible tentacles, clearly rendering the textures of every inch of wall and every floor tile in his mind.
