The flames from the bronze lamp flickered dimly, illuminating the steps before the hall, while the expansive and eerie Dragon Robe brushed past the Xiezhi statues standing on each side.

The Jade Tablet rose into the air, landing in King Songdi's hands. Without a glance, he grasped it with his five fingers, shattering the remaining half into dust.
The servants in the hall shrank back instantly.
