"Thank you, Senior Xiu Luo, for bestowing the treasure upon me. Once matters here are concluded, this junior will surely return to discuss the Dao with you," Yuan Ming said with a smile and a cupped-fist salute.
Afterward, he turned around, pushed open the bamboo door, and strode out.
Outside the bamboo door was a secret chamber illuminated by Moonlight Stones. Yuan Ming looked around, considering how to leave, when suddenly his heart stirred, and he turned to see a palm-sized array that appeared to have materialized on the wall.
He pressed his hand on the array, and then he heard a rumble as the wall in front of him slowly rose. He stepped out quickly and found himself back in the main hall on the second layer of the high tower.
At the same time, Wan Qi Hong and others also emerged from secret chambers in different directions; from the expressions on their faces, it seemed they hadn't achieved much.
