Chou Ge Beast kept a grim face and said nothing, silently carrying the great hall out of the area where the river of deathly energy clashed against the river of rushing thunder.
The woman who looked like Vermilion Bird still held out one hand, blooming a protective barrier that enveloped the entire hall.
