Lonemoon left a part of his divine perception focused on his position. Once he realized that Zuo Shuming was still somewhere in the back of the village, he stopped paying much attention to him. They were following him just to locate the invaders, anyway. They really didn't care about what Zuo Shuming went about doing.
It was four hours later when they realized that Zuo Shuming was headed for the entrance. He seemed to be on the way back, but inexplicably took a right turn to enter a dense forest.
"Eh?" Lonemoon paused.
Chef, who had been keeping the dishes and cutlery, seemed to sense something as well. He turned and exclaimed, "There's immortal Qi there!"
The two of them exchanged a meaningful glance. In a flash, they dashed out of the apartment and tried to locate the immortal Qi in the dense forest. Indeed, there they spotted Zuo Shuming's figure from afar.
