Miao Fang and Xuan Yi were just as shocked. In their eyes, Lu Ren's charge into the hall had been a near-certain death sentence.
Yet the scream that came from the hall was not Lu Ren's. It belonged to someone else.
"Should we charge in?"
One of them could not help asking.
"We still don't know what happened inside. Let's not rush in blindly. Wait!"

"Not so fast!"
