"How did this happen?"
"What exactly happened here?"
"Where's the Eternal Thunder Pool?"
Li Xiuyi was shocked and furious, flying into a thunderous rage on the spot.
Huang Yu looked even more bewildered.
"Ninth Lady, I don't know what's going on either. It was already like this when I came in..."
"It looks like every inch of this place has been plowed over. There aren't even any restrictions left."
As Li Xiuyi listened to Huang Yu, she seemed to realize something.
Through gritted teeth, she said, "Someone got in before us and stripped this whole place bare..."
"No wonder we got in so easily."
"I suspected something was wrong just now. I even thought this was a trap set by the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor..."
The corner of Huang Yu's mouth twitched. He wanted to ask, Ninth Lady, if you suspected this was a trap set by the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor, why did you still send me in to scout ahead?
In the end, though, he did not dare ask.
He merely followed her lead and asked, "But how could this happen? Someone clearly got in before us, but you never let anyone else know about your plans, Ninth Lady..."
Li Xiuyi froze. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that Zhang Qi was still outside. Her expression changed, and she hurriedly darted out.
Yet there was no one outside. Where was any trace of Zhang Qi?
Li Xiuyi's face darkened completely.
"Damn it..."
"He got away..."
Li Xiuyi was so furious she nearly exploded.
She had painstakingly planned everything, even playing along with Zhang Qi's act for ages, only to gain nothing.
No, that was not right.
It was not that she had gained nothing. She suspected she had gained a massive black pot of blame.
