Imperial Capital of Great Jin, a certain palace.

The envoy from the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets tugged at his robe with disdain and complained, "You two have higher cultivation levels than the Empress. Why should we fear her? We could just swagger into the palace, and she couldn't do anything about it. Why make me pretend to be a eunuch?"

The envoy glanced at the Yin-Yang Elder's royal physician robe and then at Pu Lingzi's Imperial Guard armor. Only he was dressed in an androgynous manner, which made him feel resentful.

The Yin-Yang Elder stroked his beard, formed a hand seal, and closed his eyes, saying, "Ever since we entered the Great Jin palace, it feels like an evil dragon is watching us. I suspect there's a hidden threat in the palace, possibly an undead monster or some forbidden object. In any case, we must proceed with caution."
