After Shale and Li Chun Qiu teleported away from the Star Tree, Shale set down the Six-Eared Macaque's body so that they could examine it. As Li Chun Qiu looked it over, he realized something was wrong. He swung his fist, throwing a punch at the corpse. When the blow landed, the Six-Eared Macaque's body turned to dust.
"How could this happen?" Shale's face had gone blank with shock. He shook himself, turning to go back to the Star Tree.
Li Chun Qiu stopped him and said, "It is too late to go back now. We've been gone for too long, and the creature must have escaped into Outer Sky and disappeared by now."
"With Han Sen guarding Star Tree, I don't think it will have been able to run off so easily," Shale said.
