By the time they emerged from the Demon-Locking Tower, the sky was already nearing dusk.
Su Ling'er flew ahead on her simple Wooden Sword, leading the way.
Wang Xiedi, who was dangling from the hilt of the sword, had finally calmed down after his fright in the Spirit Beast Garden.
This allowed Su Ling'er to breathe a small sigh of relief. She really didn't want to recall that horrifying 'Human-Mantis Romance' scene, as it would destabilize her Dao heart.
"Mr. Wang, the next place is the Asking Dao Ladder."
The flying sword carved an arc through the air, slowly descending onto a platform at the mountain's peak.
When Wang Xiedi's feet were back on solid ground, Su Ling'er saw that he was completely stunned by the magnificent sight before him. His expression was identical to her own when she had first seen it.
White jade steps stretched straight into the clouds, flanked by Daoist patterns that flickered in and out of sight. A mountain wind swept clouds and mist rushing down.
