The chime of the clock rang out!
At the same time, outside the ancient mansion, Yang Jian finally heard the sound he had been waiting for.
This chime came much later than the previous one, which indicated that it wasn't marking the passage of time but rather a forced restart initiated under duress.
This meant that Wang Chaling and Li Jun, who were inside the mansion, had managed to back an adversary into a corner, forcing them to restart as a desperate move to save themselves. Because if the enemy had already killed Li Jun or Wang Chaling, there would have been no need for a restart—it simply wouldn't have happened.
Thus, this chime wasn't bad news; it was good news.
Yang Jian, clutching a splintered long spear, stood resolutely atop the building.
