It was the Professor and Lin Chuqiao.
Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he felt a bit relieved.
Since they were able to successfully establish a spiritual link and contact him, it was likely that they were still within the sa space.
"I’m fine."
Hearing their concerned inquiries, Fang Cheng imdiately responded and also asked:
"Where are you all? Is everyone safe now?"
"A few of us have gathered together, and we were originally planning to leave Mist Mountain..."
Lin Chuqiao imdiately replied, but her tone paused:
"It’s just that, because we couldn’t contact you temporarily and were worried that you might be in so trouble, we’ve been waiting in the woods to hear your whereabouts."
Her voice was gentle, yet carried a slight tremor, as if the worry she had been holding in could finally be released, showing her excitent.
"Yes, White Ghost, we were all really worried about you."
Bai Ling imdiately chid in with a crisp voice: "Xiao Chu thought you were trapped by the Lu Family sowhere, isolated, and was taking us to search for you everywhere."
"Hey, I said you all were overthinking it."
Big Hamr also jumped in, his loud voice buzzing through the ntal channel:
"What kind of person is White Ghost? Single-handedly poking a big hole in the Lu Family’s array. Even if there are more enemies, I believe he can fight his way through."
Big Hamr spoke with enthusiasm, having been deeply impressed by witnessing Fang Cheng’s feat of facing ten alone and leaping over Mist Mountain.
His words were full of admiration, seemingly more confident than Fang Cheng himself.
The mbers of the Professor’s team each expressed their concern.
One of the voices was from the man codenad "Crow," suspected to be Li Dingjian.
Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng felt relieved, and with a bit of apology, he explained:
"Sorry, I was just finding a quiet place to heal my injuries, kept you all waiting."
"Ah, you were injured?"
"How is it, serious?"
Lin Chuqiao and Crow spoke almost simultaneously, their anxiety apparent.
Bai Ling and Big Hamr also let out exclamations of surprise.
For a mont, everyone’s focus was on Fang Cheng’s injury.
"It’s nothing, just a minor injury, already healed long ago."
Fang Cheng smiled, indicating that he was fine, his tone steady and reassuring.
Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief, their tense hearts finally settling down.
After a few exchanges, the tense atmosphere relaxed a bit.
Fang Cheng then asked the Professor:
"Professor, after the array was destroyed, how is the Lu Family secret realm’s transfer situation? Have we now erged from the Inner World?"
This was the most crucial question, concerning whether everyone could safely retreat from this treasure-seeking mission.
"Based on my experience and observations, we have exited the Inner World, and at least we can find the previously marked path, so we should be able to smoothly exit Mist Mountain."
The Professor organized his thoughts, paused briefly, and then answered:
"As for whether the Lu Family’s secret realm successfully transferred, there’s nothing apparent yet."
"At that ti, the Lu Family and the Black Sect lamas were fighting intensely, the scene was chaotic, and Crow and I took the opportunity to escape the manor and et with Xiao Chu and them.
"It’s been about over an hour now, looking from here, there’s no unusual movent in the manor. I estimate that the Lu Family is either severely weakened, unable to fight again in the short term, or has chosen to close off, temporarily avoiding conflict, and the Black Sect lama might have left as well."
Fang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
As long as they could retreat smoothly, it would be fine.
With both sides fighting fiercely, innocent bystanders like himself should not get involved to avoid getting burned.
Suddenly, the Professor seed to recall sothing and asked specifically:
"White Ghost, did you encounter that blood rain earlier?"
Fang Cheng was slightly taken aback, then honestly answered:
"I also experienced blood rain here, and it seems to have a pretty good healing effect. After absorbing it, not only did my wounds heal quickly, but my stamina beca more vigorous."
"That’s good, we experienced sothing similar here."
The Professor, hearing this, spoke with a tone of relief:
"Although we didn’t get the Golden Benba Bottle in the end, at least we received this opportunity. No one returned empty-handed, which is sothing to be glad and celebrate."
"Thinking about this trip, after all the hardships and nurous twists and turns..."
Just as the Professor habitually began to summarize the mission, a voice suddenly and sowhat urgently interjected:
"Professor, I see car lights about two kiloters down the mountain, and a helicopter is also flying towards us."
The speaker was Monkey, responsible for reconnaissance missions.
"It seems that Lu Family reinforcents are approaching."
The Professor, upon hearing this, imdiately halted, decisively saying:
"Let’s put other discussions aside for now; let’s proceed with the planned safe retreat and contact when we’re back in the city."
"Alright, alright..."
Everyone chid in, their voices carrying a hint of fatigue.
It was clear that this thrilling adventure had drained much of everyone’s energy.
Before retreating, Lin Chuqiao softly asked:
"White Ghost, are you coming with us?"
Her words seed to carry a touch of expectation.
"No, I have a few things to take care of."
Fang Cheng thought for a mont and gently refused.
Then he truly rembered sothing and asked:
"By the way, have you seen the team mbers who were traveling with ?"
The Professor replied:
"Your team mbers are waiting near the manor, they were also looking for you everywhere earlier, I’ve asked Big Hamr to notify them."
