After Ling Zhonghuang finished speaking, he strode out of the cave.
Then his voice came in again from outside. "Drag Ling Xiaotian out to mine."
At once, two tall, burly overseers rushed into the cave where Ling Xiaotian and Sikong Ding were held. But Ling Xiaotian did not let them seize her. Instead, she said coldly, "Don't touch me. I'll go out myself."
Just like that, Ling Xiaotian walked out of the cave and returned to the mining grounds.
As for Ling Zhonghuang, he had long since departed.
Inside Sikong Ding's cave...
Another overseer, one who looked like an old man, came in and helped him up. He poured pills down his throat, and Sikong Ding—utterly weakened after the strange void energy within him had been drained away—slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the elderly overseer, he gave a low chuckle and asked, "How did Ling Dongwei suddenly lose so many juniors?"
Though his entire body had been collapsing in agony just now, Sikong Ding had still heard Ling Zhonghuang's words clearly.
The elderly overseer stared at him coldly...
"Sikong Ding, you can still laugh?"
"How many people have you gotten killed? You're going to get the entire Crescent Moon Lineage killed, and we were fucking dragged down by you too."
"We can't get out. This void-rift world is Elder Dongwei's greatest secret. Other than Elder Dongwei and his son, no one who enters this place can ever leave again."
Sikong Ding fell silent at once.
But immediately afterward, he laughed again. "It's Ling Dongwei who won't let you leave, not me."
The moment those words came out, the old overseer went mad...
"If not for you, would I have been implicated?"
"If you and Ling Xiaotian had let me capture you back then, Elder Dongwei wouldn't have thrown me
