The voice came abruptly, causing Shi Nian and the others to shiver in unison.
Instantly, Shi Nian's mind recalled that terrifying presence spoken of by Xiao Tong!
Was it that presence?
Xiao Tong also felt somewhat panicked.
What's going on?
Someone nearby? She hadn't sensed anything at all.
Logically speaking, even if an Immortal Venerable was spying on Shi Nian, she should be able to sense something and shield herself.
But this time, she truly didn't notice anything.
Could it be that she, Xiao Tong, had regressed?
Xiao Tong suddenly felt entirely uneasy.
Shi Nian had already forcibly calmed herself down.
Suppressing the impulse to immediately escape into the void, she spoke slowly, "Senior, we bear no ill will, and we haven't touched anything in the Crystal Stone Mine. We just want to leave this place. Please be merciful, and let us go."
"Little girl, you certainly know how to adapt," the voice laughed.
The little girl and Lin Lei, however, were somewhat confused.
