The single-layer area of the Demon Palace is vast, coupled with the fact that the documents Wen Yu obtained are indeed ancient and many passageways have been abandoned, causing Wen Yu to spend quite a bit of extra time.
After leaving Nileth, Wen Yu spent roughly three days to reach the negative 872 level of the Demon Palace. It was only then that Wen Yu received the signal transmitted by Bai.
The time dragged on too long—but this could not be altered by personal will; the journey was simply that far. Wen Yu really had no other options, so even though Bai sent out a distress signal to Wen Yu, Wen Yu still needed to proceed step-by-step, exploring, finding paths, then heading to the next level.
At this moment, Wen Yu could only hope Bai could hold on a bit longer; otherwise, Wen Yu would not be blamed for running away.
