If the first unexpected event made people uneasy and suspicious upon careful thought, the second one was terrifying.
Yue Zhijing already knew that most people from that side were dead or injured, and Mo Bai and the Elder were also in danger. She tried to stay calm and chose the most rational course of action—she contacted the main force of another team in the mission loop, which included the Mahayana master Tian Dazhuang.
Tian Dazhuang was frivolous by nature and even wanted to flirt with Yue Zhijing, but she didn't give him a chance. Her first words were: "Senior Tian, did you encounter an ambush over there?"
"No, I've already arrived, why?"
Yue Zhijing immediately reported the situation. She was worried both routes might have been ambushed, aiming to eliminate Wuque's people, and also worried that Tian Dazhuang's side might actually be real, but this mission would also hold Tian Dazhuang back, preventing him from helping the Elder and the others.
