Though you retreated in time three years ago, Qian Jianghan is not someone who hesitates to betray; fears have long since informed them of our involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, looking across the entire Southern Domain cultivation world, perhaps only our Liu family is capable of deploying such a large-scale killing array!\" Liu Zhengfeng pondered for a moment, nodding his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unexpected, that woman has been so patient, not showing any abnormality in these three years, and now, seizing the moment of our turmoil, she has arrived to attack.\" The other high-ranking members suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s been waiting all along!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This woman is not simple; when she strikes, it’s a deadly move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our reliance now is on the array.
