The Daoist waved his hand and retrieved the small banner from the smoke; at that point, thunder had already started sounding outside the cave, prompting him to rush out quickly.
Upon exiting the cave, he saw a small rhinoceros shimmering with silver light, manipulating a pair of Thunder Sound Cones, dueling with his two disciples. He recognized it as a treasure born from the Taiyin Essence and was instantly overjoyed. Just as a smile began to spread across his face, Lin Han appeared, followed by Shi Sheng.
Lin Han didn't understand why the rhinoceros had lured him here and even attacked others, but he knew there must be a reason. He was about to clarify things when the Daoist, guilty of theft, made the first move; he struck with a hook and a sword, and a handful of Fiery Flame Flying Needles!
It turned out this place was the Heavenly Gate Palace atop Wulong Peak of Ailao Mountain, and the Daoist was named Lin Rui, nicknamed the Divine Monarch of Heavenly Gate.
