Since Basil Jaak and Arm disappeared into Thunder Lake, Marico had ordered the roads around Thunder Lake that led to the outside world to be sealed off.
The woods were also full of Blood Refining Sect's scouts, so although there had been no news of Basil Jaak over the last half month, Marico was still confident that the wounded Basil Jaak was definitely hiding in some corner around Thunder Lake, so he intensified the search in the area.
Two scouts found Basil Jaak, who was cultivating on the rocks by the lake, and quietly retreated.
In a short while, White Protector and Yellow Protector came with a large group of men, but they failed to find any trace of Basil Jaak.
It wasn't that Basil Jaak had spotted them, but rather, he had just happened to finish his cultivation and left.
A clamoring of voices came from the top of the cave, which both Basil Jaak and Arm heard.
