"The person has been found, what should we do next? Should we make direct contact?" a Level 6 cultivator in the squad asked.
"That's not advisable," another person shook his head. "It's better to protect him in secret. Many sects from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge have taken action, and our proximity and early arrival give us an advantage. However, if we expose ourselves, it's easy to be targeted. Moreover, this person probably isn't fully aware of his current situation; rashly making contact might backfire and make him develop misgivings."
"But secret protection might not fully safeguard him."
"I say we knock him out and take him away!" a beefy guy suggested.
The others turned to look at him with the beefy guy appearing confused: "Did I say something wrong?"
"It's possible," a Level 6 cultivator nodded. "You go knock him out!"
