Lost contact? What did he mean?
"I can't contact anyone else. More than ten of us came on this trip, but only I stayed with you and Master Qi. The others are scattered. The Ardent Flame Alliance has its sects here, but I can't contact any of the sect leaders. I've also lost contact with Su Qian and Su Shen. It's just you and me now." Gao Da seemed to have used a lot of strength to explain himself.
Then, I pieced his words together in my mind and finally understood what he meant.
"Brother Gao Da, has everyone been captured?" I asked carefully.
Gao Da shook his head. "The sect halls have an early warning system. The sect members will hide if there's any danger. So it's not necessarily that they're captured. If I have to guess, they've gone into hiding. However, Su Qian and Su Shen... Maybe they're with Master Qi."
I slowly regained my senses and reorganized everything.
