The road to find the ore was smooth all the way, without even a ripple. Apart from encountering some Demon Beasts on the road, the group did not encounter any other difficulties. However, Fang Zheng was very tense inside, because he knew very well that, according to the original plot, one of Shagatu's Four Heavenly Kings, Elsheol, should be doing everything to obstruct the three protagonists along the way, but until now, Elsheol had yet to appear... this is not a good omen.
Even though the Four Heavenly Kings were all in the castle at that time, and Fang Zheng set it ablaze to the ground, he did not believe those Four Heavenly Kings would really disappear just like that. After all, the one here is only Fang Zheng's Divine Beast Form, and the power he could use was extremely limited. If it were Fang Zheng himself, a mere spark would be enough to send these guys to the Western Paradise, but now... it's hard to say.
