Since the God-Locking Bell had sounded a warning, Fanming clearly could not be far away.
But this truly puzzled Wang Ba.
After all, he had sensed Fanming's presence when he first arrived at the North Sea Death Passage.
Barring anything unexpected, Fanming should have been near Hurricane Sea Pass at the time.
Yet now he had sensed Fanming again here.
It felt as though Fanming were deliberately pursuing him.
