She couldn't do this alone! She needed to send a distress call!
Pan Wukun found a place to hide, pulling out an instant communication talisman and an energy-replenishing pill.
She transmitted her thoughts of the forest's location, the threat of eight-legged spider demons, and conveyed her desperation.
Come help me right fucking now, please!
-------------------
Wei Wuxian was laughing with his fellow YunmengJiang sect disciples at Lotus Pier when the communication talisman in his robes grew warm.
Wei Wuxian's smile dropped instantly. He, Pan Wukun, and Lan Wangji did not use instant communication talismans except in emergencies since they consumed so much energy. He pulled out the talisman. Its message filled him with dread.
"Da-shixiong?"
Wei Wuxian stood up. "Training's suspended."
The sect disciples were alarmed. "Da-shixiong? What's going on?"
"Pan Wukun's in danger!" Wei Wuxian rushed off.
The sect disciples ran after Wei Wuxian. "Pan Wukun? That rogue cultivator guy you talk so much about?"
"Yes! I've got to go help him!" Wei Wuxian shouted.
Jiang Fengmian happened to be passing by and noticed Wei Wuxian and the other sect disciples running frantically. "What's wrong?"
"My friend is in danger! I have to leave Lotus Pier!" Wei Wuxian explained.
"Your friend told you through the instant communication talisman." Jiang Fengmian figured out that Wei Wuxian found out through the instant communication talisman he showed him after returning from the Cloud Recesses.
"Pan Wukun saved my life once! I have to go! Please, Uncle Jiang!"
"Your friend told you his location?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Fengmian ordered a large group of YunmengJiang sect disciples to prepare for a rescue mission. "A-Xian, you shall go there first to provide immediate assistance. The rest of us will follow after. It'll take days to get to where your friend is. You must hurry!"
"A-Xian, you shall go there first to provide immediate assistance. The rest of us will follow after."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!"
Wei Wuxian quickly packed his cultivation tools and flew on Suibian at such rapid speeds that he never had before.
Hang on, Chun-ge! I'm coming!
-------------------
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!
Pan Wukun cowered away in a corner of the forest. She tried to get herself under control. She tried to steady her trembling hands. - Damn it! Hold still!
Usually, her parents and Pan Heng took care of spiders for her. But they weren't here right now...
Pan Wukun was unable to get back to Kang Xieren again. She didn't even know if he was still alive.
The energy-replenishing pill kept her from collapsing. So she was able to run away from the spider demons.
She ate food and magical cultivation items to replenish the spiritual energy she lost using the instant communication talisman.
How long had it been since she requested help from Wei Wuxian? Days? She didn't know.
Sunlight and moonlight couldn't penetrate the thick webs of the forest so the passage of time was imperceptible to her.
