Song Ciwan and Aunt Zhou paused for a moment at a bend in the tunnel. From deep within the red glow, the intense conversation between a man and a woman was suddenly cut short by the booming crash of a war drum.
THUD!
THUD! THUD! THUD! The muffled, thunderous vibrations interrupted the man and woman's conversation, and the tunnel began to shake.
From deeper around the bend came the sound of surging waves, and another, colder female voice cried out in shock and anger, "Tian Junhong! You are the esteemed Demon-slaying General, and you possess a great treasure. Yet instead of thinking to save the people, you use this opportunity to seize the Earth Vein Primordial Qi. Are you trying to destroy Su Yang City?"
It was the voice of the Chi Hua Fairy!
The man's voice, however, replied unhurriedly, "Fairy, you come from a renowned sect. You should know that regardless of what we do today, with the Bibo Lake Flood Dragon having died here, Su Yang City is doomed."
