Gu Huzi asked seriously, "Who are you?"
Emrys could tell that Gu Huzi no longer had any intention of fighting him. Since that was the case, he also stopped and turned towards the palace before speaking, "Emrys Frazier."
With that, he started walking.
Seeing this, Xu Ling hurriedly followed behind Emrys. The other four people also came back to their senses and started walking toward the palace.
Gu Huzi, however, remained rooted to the spot. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts, hesitation gripping his heart.
Should he still enter the palace in search of the rumored artifact?
He was afraid that he would be killed by Emrys inside the palace. The fear of being killed by Emrys within those ancient walls gnawed at him. Yet, as he thought deeply over it, he realized how flimsy that reasoning was. If Emrys had intended to kill him, he could have done so effortlessly right here and now. There was no need for subterfuge or a drawn-out battle within the palace.
