He immediately pulled Uncle Quan to his feet, silently swearing that no matter what, he would find a way to save Dog Master.
With this turn of events, Ye Wudao naturally couldn't linger in the mountains any longer. He set out with Uncle Quan and Zhao Xiaoman that very night, taking Dog Master with them down the mountain.
