I couldn't find any more clues in the cave, and it was impossible to determine the identities of the deceased from the few skeletons.
I expanded the search area and swept through it again.
Still, there was no sign of Songx Lian. Bai Zichen had no choice but to abandon the search and rescue effort and begin his journey back.
A dignified Core Formation True Man spending a whole day on a single True Disciple was already a significant concession. He had done it only because Tong Huan had pleaded with him, and because Songx Lian had disappeared while on a Sect mission that he himself had posted.
Upon returning to Celestial Thunder Cliff, he informed Tong Huan of the results of his trip.
If they wanted to find Songx Lian's body, they would have to wait until the Sect expanded in that direction and then use a Soul Lamp to search the area.
