"Fellow Daoist Shen, what happened in Heavenly Mechanism City? Why were you the one who came to help?" Elder Wuming asked in puzzlement, looking at the traces of battle on Shen Luo.
"Seniors, I don't actually know what happened either. I happened to discover someone traveling underground toward you, so I followed them here. When I realized you might be trapped in a great formation, I tried to rescue you," Shen Luo said.
As they spoke, a loud commotion arose outside. They hurriedly opened the secret chamber's door and went out.
The moment they stepped outside, they saw Elder Mo Wang arriving with seven or eight elders of Heavenly Mechanism City and a host of disciples. They were just about to force the door open.
"Mo Wang, weren't you still in seclusion recovering from your injuries? Why have you come out?" Elder Fu asked in surprise.
"Miss Nie interrupted my seclusion and told me Elder Wuming was in danger, so I immediately brought people to help. What happened to you?" Elder Mo Wang asked, looking somewhat surprised himself.
"We were indeed attacked by Che Qingtian's people and nearly trapped in a great formation with no way out. Fellow Daoist Shen Luo rescued us," Elder Wuming explained.
"I asked Cai Zhu to seek help from Elder Fu earlier. She must have failed to find him and gone to inform Elder Mo Wang instead. Speaking of Cai Zhu, where is she?" Shen Luo looked around but saw no sign of her.
"I asked Miss Nie to help notify Elder Man Bo. She should be at the Puppetcraft Workshop now," Elder Mo Wang said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo felt a little more at ease.
"Has anything unusual happened elsewhere in the city?" Elder Wuming hurriedly asked.
"We haven't discovered anything unusual elsewhere yet.
