Boom!
Just as all the gathered parties looked up at the sky, the rolling thunderclouds began churning violently. Serpents of lightning darted wildly through them, unleashing earth-shaking peals of thunder.
Lin Shuguang watched the rolling thunderclouds too, his gaze unruffled. Liu Yue could not tell in the slightest what he was thinking.
