Huo Hai had merely used Little Butterfly to transmit his voice through vibrations of Mental Power. His true purpose was to tell his family that he was still alive, so they would not worry.
As for exposing himself, Huo Hai truly was not concerned. So long as he remained hidden in the shadows, even the Vast Earth Empire had no ability to find him, much less use various methods to deal with him. This was not the first time Huo Hai had witnessed the Vast Earth Empire's methods. It would not be easy for those people to kill him.
However, Huo Hai was seriously injured now and could only leave for the time being. With the help of Earth-Attribute Earthworms, Huo Hai swiftly burrowed several thousand meters underground. Only then did he barely manage to control the earthworms and create a small space.
Inside the space, Huo Hai quietly sat down and began to tend to his injuries. The previous attack had not struck Huo Hai directly, but its essence had far surpassed his spiritual power. His injuries were far from light.
While Huo Hai was recovering, the Vast Earth Empire also launched a full-scale search. Many experts, including those proficient in all sorts of tracking methods, gathered near the Medicine King Sect and began searching the surrounding area. "Quick! Turn over every inch of land! The Insect Emperor is badly injured. He definitely cannot have gone far!" A group of people searched everywhere near the ruins of the Medicine King Sect.
Three full days had passed since the final battle. The Medicine King Sect's last remaining forces had been completely wiped out, and the various major factions had returned one after another. There were not many people still here now.
Even fewer people were interested in searching the ruins.
