Golden Dawn Fairy's words seemed to display no intention of defending Yuan Ming, yet they effectively handed him an opportunity to step down gracefully.
"After being swept into this place by the red light, this junior has been trying to find a way out. However, there's nothing else in this grand hall, the entrance is sealed shut, and the path deeper into the hall is covered by formidable restrictions. With no way up to heaven and no path down to earth, all I could do was sit here and pray that someone would come to the rescue," Yuan Ming spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
Golden Dawn Fairy and the others found Yuan Ming's account to be coherent and without any noticeable discrepancies.
The several individuals exchanged glances and dispersed to conduct a thorough search of the grand hall.
The grand hall was indeed just as Yuan Ming described, completely empty, with no place to hide anything.
