Liang turned to face a nine-tailed figure with surprise, not expecting her presence.
"Apologies for troubling you, senior."
"Not at all. You were away for mere seconds." The nine-tailed figure regarded Liang with interest.
"I see." Liang smiled. "It was simply good fortune, without which I may have failed to escape."
The nine-tailed figure nodded in acknowledgment, uninterested in further inquiry.
"You are now free to depart." She turned and vanished.
"Curious, why would she assist me?" Liang's brow creased. After extending aid to Sun Wu during his battle with Mo Huang, he had meticulously planned to infiltrate the Heavenly Spirit Palace. Up to this point, everything had unfolded smoothly.
