While Gabriel was still standing before the ancient knight, another part of the tomb had already become active.
Martial Palace moved through their assigned route with far more order than most of the invited groups. Their formation was tight, their steps were measured, and the cultivator guide at the front rarely needed to speak because most of them already knew how to move inside a place like this.

Liang walked near the center of Martial Palace's formation with Evelyn close beside him. His expression remained calm, but his eyes moved often, checking the walls, floor lines, and the faint movement of qi in the air.
