The one on the staircase was none other than Li Xiaobai.
To prevent his detection, Li Xiaobai had swiftly descended the staircase in the moment he took the Luminous Pearl, heading directly down to the third floor, where the crowd was thickest, and concealed himself.
Watching Long Xue's rampage on the seventh floor, Li Xiaobai cracked a small smile. He had won. As soon as he removed his Human Skin Mask, the other, the other would no longer have a chance to catch him.
Above the sixth floor staircase, several figures slowly stood up and, disregarding the oppressive force emanating from Long Xue, looked at each other and saw the amusement in each other's eyes.
"Junior Brother has really got a trick up his sleeve, aiming for the Luminous Pearl right from the start. Quite impressive," one remarked.
