It was indeed an underground palace. As Feng Jiu descended the stone stairs, faint sounds drifted from the depths within. Lining both sides of the descending passage, clusters of eerie green ghostly flames flickered, casting an unsettling illumination on the path below. The spectral green glow added an eerie atmosphere to the place.
The ghostly flames danced with an unseen current, and a subtle flow of air stirred the stillness. It was clear that this underground palace possessed more than a single entrance and exit, suggesting a connection to the outside world somewhere within its depths. Surprisingly, upon entering, Feng Jiu encountered not a single demon in the initial passage. She continued along the dimly lit path and soon discovered that the underground passage opened into a vast mountain hollow. On the far side of this cavernous space, a large congregation of demons had gathered.
