The next morning, the gang heads back to the grey palace to prepare for the next phase of their mission. Wu zhan tells the gang that they'll need to destroy all of the golden altars in order to enter the sealed land, which is sealed by the black flag. He tells them to pay attention to the fog around them, because it's the curse energy that's keeping them from entering the sealed lands. He warns them to be careful because there will be a lot of traps and magic puppets inside the palace, which will make it very difficult for them to crack. The gang decides to go in first, since they need to figure out how to crack the cauldrons first.
