Although her tone displeased Fairy Lingyue somewhat, she had to admit that those words had pinpointed the predicament Xu Taiping would face next.
So rather than refuting her, she nodded in agreement and said:
"Entering the fourth floor of the Mysterious Wasteland Tower in such a conspicuous manner is indeed no good thing. But from what I know of Rusty Lion, if he did this, he must have something to rely on, or a reason worth taking the risk."
Hearing this, Zhu Sha curled her lip dismissively and said:
"I think he's either playing the hero or just trying to show off."
"Clang!..."
Before Fairy Lingyue could reply, a bell suddenly rang out from the projection in the center of the great hall.
Immediately afterward, a voice filled with authority thundered through the mist within the projection-
"Who stands below?"
Clearly, someone had come to challenge the Tower Spirit.
But as the mist within the projection gradually dispersed and everyone saw the figure seated at the head of the palace, astonishment appeared on their faces.
It was a spirit beast with blue eyes, golden fur, a human body, and a lion's head.
"Is... isn't that Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland's mount, the Blue-Eyed Golden-Furred Lion, Heavenly Lord Jin Sheng?!"
Ye Chensha even cried out in surprise.
"What exactly did this disciple of yours do to draw Heavenly Lord Jin Sheng out on just the third floor?"
Immortal Elder Wuji looked at Fairy Lingyue in astonishment.
At his words, the corners of Fairy Lingyue's mouth twitched twice, and she thought:
If I knew, I wouldn't have let him enter the tower!
Beside her, Zhu Sha chuckled with a hint of gloating and said:
"I told you, a tall tree catches the wind. Senior Yuezhu, this disciple of yours is far too conspicuous!"
