"It's too dangerous for you to go in alone."
"I'll be careful and hide well. You can be my backup on the outside."
Seeing that Jin Ling had already made his decision, Xijing didn't try to persuade him further.
"Be careful."
Jin Ling nodded. After arranging a meeting spot with Xijing, he took the bone tablet and turned into a stone house by the street. When he reemerged, he had changed into a brand-new animal hide garment. He had also sprinkled himself with a powder to conceal his aura and smeared his body black with pot soot.
Xijing waited outside the stone house for a while before seeing a tall figure walk out. If he wasn't extremely familiar with Jin Ling, he wouldn't have recognized the person before him as Jin Ling at all.
Their eyes met for a brief moment, and then Jin Ling was at the main gate of the palace.
The beast soldiers guarding the palace immediately stepped forward to block him.
With an impassive expression, Jin Ling produced the bone tablet.
