Time passed slowly, five days, six days, seven days…
During these days, the taunting from the bottom of the mountain continued unabated, as if Sun Dongfang and his comrades could sense Ye Lingyun's despair, reveling in their jeering.
Zhan Yun constantly observed Ye Lingyun and could tell that she was indeed wavering. There were several times she wanted to speak up and tell Zhan Yun to use the water crystal skull earlier, but she hesitated and ultimately didn't say anything.
Finally, Zhan Yun could wait no longer and spoke to Ye Lingyun, "Hall Master Ye, since Yiye Tian has no reinforcements coming, our survival now depends solely on our own strength."
Ye Lingyun nodded gently, "I know."
"Then, let me use the water crystal skull," Zhan Yun said. "If we die here, this treasure will inevitably fall into the hands of Medicine King Valley, but if we live, it can be returned to Yiye Tian."
