Mu Qing was able to open the door, but he couldn't enter the room. The barrier inside was containing the thick, dark miasma that filled the room, keeping everything outside from coming closer. Even with his heightened senses, it was hard for him to recognize the strong demonic presence inside the barrier. Was it Shen Minyao or the Gu demon?
He heard Shen Minyao hiss in pain, but he couldn't see what was happening within the dark mass. The building continued to shake tremendously, causing some fragile things to fall on the floor and break. The tremors sent the humans in full panic as they wondered why there was suddenly an earthquake.
Another suspicious sound of something breaking followed the hiss, and the miasma suddenly dissipated inside the barrier, clearing his view. He then saw a blur of a figure thrown his way, and immediately, Mu Qing lowered the barrier. The grim reaper braced himself from the impact of Shen Minyao's body hitting him.
