'Please tell me he did not die. Please do not let my thoughts of his death be true!' Rin repeats in his head as he makes his way up to where the dried blood is same as he made last time. Although on his hands and knees he keeps progressing further in search of one of his few living descendants.
Crawling through the tunnel, Rin sees the entrance to the first open area on this tunnel. However being pushed even farther down, he takes a break to try and adjust to his surrounding, meanwhile however, he shouts out. "Yueliang, are you there? If you are alive please respond." Knowing that trying to use his chi to send his voice farther would not work due to the way the tunnels work, he has to just rely on his ability to raise his voice.
