"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!"
The frenzied pounding behind the door and the piercing wails echoed ceaselessly through the tower.
But no matter how hard the thing inside battered it, the door would not give way.
Yet the piercing wails and cries for help from behind the door inexplicably stirred Xu Taiping's pity, giving him the urge to step forward and open it.
Had the Jade Bone Grass bracelet on his wrist not kept giving off a coolness while tightening little by little until his wrist ached, Xu Taiping might very well have fallen under the voice's spell.

Xu Taiping clasped the Jade Bone Grass bracelet along with his wrist and took a step back.
As for the Dragon-Trapping Tower, Fairy Lingyue had only taught him that special way of opening it. She had said nothing else.
According to the Relic-Seeking Studio's description, the Dragon-Trapping Tower had previously been used more as a storage item. The tower stood no more than three zhang tall, and entering it was equivalent to entering a region of chaos, where one could do nothing except meditate and cultivate.

"The problem probably lies in the way it was opened."
Xu Taiping folded his arms across his chest and muttered to himself.

Its wails and pleas immediately turned into vicious curses.

Unable to listen any longer, Xu Taiping's face hardened, and he snapped:
"Shut up!"
