"..."
Shen Zhaozhao still heard no response from Ye Li.
She struggled to lift her gaze toward the mountain lord's hall in the distance.
There was still no movement there.
Perfected Heavenly Thunder had not come out.
Not a single one of Heavenly Thunder Mountain's other elders had appeared either!
By this point, how could Shen Zhaozhao not understand?

Meanwhile, Shen Zhaozhao continued
