Inside, only Ethan remained.
"Um?"
Asher suddenly stopped in his tracks and took out a blood colored jade pendant from his chest. The pendant pulsed violently, emitting a faint yet urgent glow.
This was a distress signal from Uga.
His brows furrowed.
"Something happened in Noble Sun City…" Asher muttered.
Without hesitation, he raised his head and said coldly, "I'll go back first. Don't run around!"
As soon as his voice fell, his figure leaped upward, stepping directly onto the space transmission node above.
"We're going back too!" Zeon immediately shouted.
Asher shook his head.
"You two have just broken through and still need to stabilize your realms. Ethan is still in seclusion. I need you both to stay and protect him."
He paused, his tone firm.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, nothing will happen to the Blood Tavern."
With that, Asher stepped into the spatial rift and vanished.
Silence returned.
