"Hmm, right, hehehe, in a sense, the Thunderbolt Mech can now truly be considered the nemesis of Cultivators."
Lin Zhengying instantly forgot her previous statement, and laughed with pride.
Perhaps what made her even prouder was the great help she had provided to Lin Yuan, which gave Lin Zhengying, who had always struggled to keep up with Lin Yuan, a substantial sense of accomplishment.
"What about Lin Yuan? You just said that you only found a way for him to escape at the end of the Heavenly Tribulation, but the one who actually faced most of it was him. Surely he must have gained more benefits, right?"
"That's why he didn't come back with me."
Lin Zhengying spread her hands and sighed, "Lin Yuan said that his breakthrough was imminent, so he had to go into seclusion urgently for a while, and asked me to report back to you all first. Once things are over on his end, he'll immediately come find us..."
"Another... another breakthrough?"
