Ethan successfully stalled for time till Scarlett escaped. Then, Storm Dream left the room for something Ethan had no idea what for. Since he was leaving at this moment when time was important, the reason for Storm Dream leaving must be important.
Even though Ethan knew that no one was coming to save him, Storm Dream didn't know that. He still believed that a senior of Ethan's sect was coming to save Ethan soon and that if he didn't find a way to gain a True Physique before that, everything was going to end badly.
Only Ethan and Scarlett knew they had no saviors. They had only themselves.
With a thought, he searched the entire room and cringed when he felt the Spell Formation around the place. This place restricted his movements badly. He wasn't worried, though; he wouldn't be trapped here forever.
