At first, Sikong Jing suspected that some rule of the absolute formation might exist, blocking Zhan Hu within the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
But now that Forged Rock and the other demon humanoids had entered without issue, such a rule clearly did not exist.
Most likely, Zhan Hu had encountered some kind of situation within the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
At this moment, Forged Rock replied with a slightly tense expression, "Young Gate Master, when we set out, Zhan Hu's life lamp was still lit. He must still be alive, but I fear he truly has fallen into some predicament."
As Forged Rock spoke, Six Leopard, who was likewise a beast demon humanoid, immediately sent a message to Zhan Hu...
A message bird flashed toward the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, but the instant it entered the formation, the formation's power tore it into pieces. Yet this clearly meant... Zhan Hu was indeed still inside the absolute formation.
"Young Gate Master, should we send people to look for him?" Forged Rock asked quickly.
Without hesitation, Sikong Jing gave a light nod. Looking at Six Leopard and Mud Armor, he said, "Return to the absolute formation and search for him. But remember: if you encounter anything strange, do not go near it..."
They had only just entered the Saint Martial realm.
They would not be of much use in the operation to kill Ling Yusong, so Sikong Jing sent them to search for Zhan Hu first. If they still could not find him in the end, Sikong Jing would certainly act in person afterward.
He could not possibly stand by and watch Zhan Hu fall into danger.
Thus, they split up. Sikong Jing led Forged Rock and six other Saint Martial demon humanoids as they teleported back to Overlord Heaven City.
