Then, under Dongfang Yuejian's envious gaze, Xu Taiping held the Dragon-Trapping Tower and followed behind the vast horde of Corpse Demons, sucking all the gold essence stones piled on the ground into it like a true dragon drawing up water.
Several times, Xu Taiping even felt something heavier than gold essence stones being drawn into the Dragon-Trapping Tower.
