So, no matter how Xiao Heyun begged for help, the system remained stone-cold and refused to intervene.
Song Wanning, listening to their conversation from the side, also sensed that something was amiss.
'Is the system really going to abandon Xiao Heyun?'
'Heh, it looks like the system and Huo Jinchuan have taken a liking to each other.'
She narrowed her eyes, the Longsword in her hand humming with anticipation.
'The moment the system reveals itself, I'll strike.'
Meanwhile, Xiao Heyun's despair was short-lived, as another bolt of Divine Thunder descended upon him.
The Huo Clan Leader and Huo Jinchuan had used their Heart Blood, so no matter where they hid, the Heavenly Punishment could lock onto them.
Thus, the Huo Clan Leader kept a death grip on Huo Jinchuan and Xiao Heyun, using them as human shields.
Once the two of them could take no more, he would play his trump card. Then he could successfully endure the Heavenly Punishment and maybe even live to see Meng'er awaken.
