By the riverbank, several teenagers who had already come ashore were starting to worry as they saw he hadn't surfaced for a long time.
"Could he have drowned?"
"Was he dragged away by a monster in the river?"
"We should quickly report this to the adults in the city!"
Playing around was one thing, but they were all of similar age and trained in the Martial Arts Hall, with a good relationship usually.
Seeing Xu Zhan submerged for so long and not coming up, each one couldn't help but feel very worried.
The boy with the bowl cut thought for a moment and then spoke up, "You all stay here, I'll go find someone!"
With that, he hurriedly threw on his clothes and ran barefoot towards the distant Yunshui City.
...
When Shen Chonghong led a group of Immortal Dao cultivators to the riverbank, the teenagers hung their heads, too scared to speak.
Looking at the surging river flowing east, Shen Chonghong asked gravely, "How long has the little guy been missing?"
