there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forced them to abandon their previous plan of ’conquering Refuge Cities while searching for Yu Jin’, instead rushing ahead just to find

acknowledged Ye Ye’s deed of ’finding the boss’, giving him a Tier Two Energy Crystal as reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the boss, none of this means
