Continuing, Steward Zhang further commented, "Recently, the Phoenix Dance Pavilion seems to be inquiring everywhere about the whereabouts of their One-Star Offering. They must have guessed that we might wage war against them."
"It is said that their One-Star Offering hasn't come to collect her salary in a long time, probably having been devoured by some Holy Beast or having abandoned this post," Crouching Tiger mocked.
The others burst into laughter as well.
As the laughter subsided, Leopard instructed the elderly man, "Steward Zhang, over the next few days, have someone monitor every move of the Phoenix Dance Pavilion. Report to me immediately if there's any significant activity."
"Yes!" Steward Zhang agreed.
...
"Boom."
The deafening sound of thunder erupted from above, and thick lightning struck the mountaintop, making the entire mountain tremble.
