"Splash." Resplendent flowing water sounds emerged as the Purgatory Formation was retracted by Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan's figure reappeared above the sea water.
"Xiao Yan, are you all right?"
"Where is that fellow?" Seeing Xiao Yan appear safely, Yun Qi anxiously asked.
"He ran away." Xiao Yan said with a helpless shake of his head. If not for the brief moment when that voice appeared at the very end, he would have had sufficient confidence to capture him.
"Forget it, since he ran away, let us head to Tianming Villa first." Yun Qi and the others also said.
"That's right, when I was fighting them just now, did any of you hear any strange noises?" Xiao Yan still had some doubts about this and asked.
"Strange noises?"
"No. When you and they entered the Different Dimension, it was calm and tranquil here, nothing happened." Yun Qi looked at Xiao Yan's puzzled appearance and said with extreme sincerity.
"Forget it, let's go." Having spoken, she also returned to the boat and headed toward Tianming Villa.
"That thing just now..." As the battle resolved, Duan Tianhong and Duan Qifei both returned to normal, though Duan Tianhong still harbored lingering fears.
Aside from Xiao Yan, he probably was the only one among this group who had heard that voice just now. It clearly emanated from deep beneath the seabed, and judging by the sensation, probably tens of thousands of meters down.
The sea area was unlike other places; several thousand meters constituted a human forbidden zone, and this distance of tens of thousands of meters was likely beyond even the mighty capabilities of Duan Tianhong.
"There are quite a few experts within the Hidden Soul Guild, and Tianming Villa turns a blind eye to it."
"I hope I am just overthinking things."
