Nefarious Plot?

The eyes of the two men lit up the moment they heard the word 'Ancestor'. They now knew why Young Master Shirong had been so insistent in coming to the forbidden zone, even after knowing of the dangers. He even went so far as to spend two years in a small city like the deer wood city preparing and binding for his time.

He then spent a lot of resources and favors in order to obtain the official permission to enter the forbidden zone. This was strange, as forbidden zones usually did not need a permit for one to go in. If one wanted to go, in theory, were welcome to do so at the expense of their life.

The directives for the forbidden zone were meant to be more of a warning for people so that they would not wander in carelessly. But unlike the other forbidden zones, this one was actually being guarded by the clans of the Deer Wood city, as they had been directed to do so by the King of the Ling Kingdom himself.
