"I can't sense her presence anymore," I grunted as residual vibrations continued to rattle underground. Her strength might've been compromised by the seal, but she was still good at space-manipulating spells. Wherever she had fled to was probably miles away from us already.
The heavy look on the two men's faces told me that they agreed. "I will report this issue to my sect when I return," Yu Jing said with a sigh. "Vermilion Shrine isn't the best known for tracking, but we will do our best to help … considering it was our fault to have failed to watch over the seal. I apologize for what happened."
"Please don't," I replied hastily. "It's difficult for anyone to follow through on things from that long ago. Besides, we probably would have ended up in much bigger trouble just now if not for your help." The paleness that had settled even further into his face was a clear indication of how far he had pushed his limits for us today.
