Since Joseph was captured, he still hadn't thought of 'asking his master for help'.
First, it was because he was nervous.
Second, because this was his first time experiencing the plot from a martial arts novel—'being captured by a villain and interrogated about a treasure'—so amid his little bit of adrenaline, he lacked the experience to handle it.
After being caught, he did consider options like calling the police.
But his phone and smartwatch and such had already been taken away long ago... The other party clearly wasn't one of those martial masters in novels who lived in seclusion and had zero understanding of modern tech.
In fact... if Joseph had reported his own master's name, 'Song Shuhang,' earlier, or had shouted to Song Shuhang for help, with Song Shuhang's current level, he would have instinctively sensed the call and locked onto Joseph's position.
Come on, Tyrannical Song is now a Tri-Sage Immortal, with enough spiritual senses for that.
