"I understand, Sister Lingyue."
As Xu Taiping answered, he took two painting scrolls from the Spirit Pearl in his abdomen.
These two scrolls were among the Ghost Gods Diagrams bestowed on him by the Great Emperor of the Mysterious Wasteland Tower after he reached its summit.
And the ones Xu Taiping now took from his ring were Red Lion and Old Smoky Ghost.
As for the portrait of the Snow Domain Ghost Lord, since Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland's seal could only confine him for ten years, Xu Taiping absolutely dared not summon him again.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Xu Taiping nodded without betraying anything and
