Among the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts, there were some with exceptional vision, and this discovery made them instinctively wary. Yet, they had no choice but to pursue him.

They could not disobey the orders of their masters. Thus, even with reluctance weighing on their hearts, they had to plunge into the cavern to pursue Ji Dong.
