Sunan ultimately chose to leave quietly.
Although he wanted to explore the island's situation, he had just been through an intense battle, his Spiritual Power was greatly depleted, and there were only seven High-level Rune Gemstones left. His strength was not at its peak.
It's wiser to go back, prepare thoroughly, and then come back to investigate.
Back at Flash City, Sunan immediately went to the lord's mansion.
After learning that Sunan went to the cave, Kei had been waiting in the council hall for news. Seeing Sunan return safely now, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He eagerly asked, "Is it settled?"
"It's settled."
Sunan nodded, but before Kei's face could show joy, he followed up with:
"But I discovered a new situation."
Kei was taken aback: "What situation?"
Sunan briefly recounted the situation of the underground city-state.
After hearing Sunan's words, Kei was completely stunned.
