Jiang Yuechu gathered her thoughts.
The mysterious sensation gradually settled.
The threshold to the Tower-Ascending Realm was already beneath her feet, but she still needed the strength to push open the door.

The girl clicked her tongue softly, feeling a little troubled.
She still had to kill more.
She shook her head, thoughts churning as she fell into indecision.
