"My lord followed that ship and was captured by a Dragon Tiger Demon from the Ten Thousand Mountains, who took him into a teleportation passage leading directly to the Ten Thousand Mountains, thousands of miles away. How could we sense him?"
"However, the lord should have found an opportunity to escape halfway; otherwise, if he were truly caught by that Demon elder, I fear... Anyway, the lord is currently well alive; it's just uncertain where he ended up!"
The Heavenly Dog speculated, as it was following the lord on the battlefield at the time. By the sound of it, it seemed that the legendary grave guardian, the Old Demon of the Holy Mountain, took action. If the lord and those Mushashu were caught, they would surely face certain death.
Lian Nichang was right. If Chen Yuan died, as a Contracted Demon forced into an "unequal" contract, it would also be doomed, hence this inference.
