Inside the silent chamber, not a sound could be heard.
Yet Shen Jun knew...
The Family Head could hear.
Indeed, after a long while,
a flicker of candlelight faintly glimmered, casting a sliver of brightness into the pitch-black chamber.
The aged and slow voice sounded as if it were being played back at 0.75x speed.
"You are not injured."
Just a brief sentence seemed to express the confusion.
"Yes, the enemy's strength far surpasses my own, I fear they have reached the point where they must close the doors to life and death. Even if I were to go All or Nothing, I doubt I could threaten them in the slightest, so I didn't recklessly charge forth to perish alongside them, but rather preserved this useful body to bring back valuable information to you, Great Ancestor."
"You did well."
