"Pity, pity …" Fawang's heart turned cold. "I have wasted too much time." He regretted the fact he failed to cut the rope; he was forced to seal the girl's mute accupoint and took her away as quickly as he could run. He was so confused that he couldn't think straight. He only heard Lu Wushuang's voice. If he attacked her, how could Wushuang fight him? It was just that he had suffered a bitter defeat from Zhou Botong, Reverend Yideng and Huang Yaoshi; so when he heard someone was coming he thought everybody had arrived.
Huang Rong and the rest were still at the gorge's bottom. They could not find any footprint or traces of blood, in case Yang Guo was injured. Finally they decided to go back up and discuss this matter later. Lu Wushuang was the first to go, followed by Cheng Ying and Yinggu. When Huang Rong showed up, she was startled to hear them calling her daughter, "Little Guo Xiang! Little Guo Xiang! Where are you?" The women were puzzled at seeing neither Guo Xiang nor Jinlun Fawang.
Huang Rong climbed a tall tree to get a good look around. In the meantime Huang Yaoshi together with Reverend Yideng and Zhou Botong arrived. They were perplexed and anxious. They looked around the valley, but could not find anything.
When they reached the valley's entrance, they saw one of Guo Xiang's shoes.
"Shi Jie, don't you worry," Chen Ying said, "Fawang must have taken Guo Xiang along with him to the south. Guo Xiang left her shoe behind to give us clue. She's just as smart as her mother."
Huang Rong believed Cheng Ying was right. She was relieved since Guo Xiang would not be in any immediate danger. Didn't Fawang want to take Guo Xiang as his disciple, to inherit his 'Dragon and Elephant Wisdom Dexterity Technique'?
