Chapter 23: The First Trial, Failure

Lin Jing took two steps forward and arrived beside the stele.

This stele had been damaged by someone unknown; its upper half had already broken off and vanished.

Of the lower half, Lin Jing could only make out the two characters '之地' (this place); the rest was no longer there.

the Lin Family ancestor had left a warning not to attempt to force one's way through recklessly.
