"Why!" The Flying Spirit Demon Lord finally remembered the identity of the other party and the warning just given, suppressing the anger within, he asked, "If we don't pursue now, they will escape further away. Do you want to let this opportunity slip away? Even if you don't care about the success or failure of this mission, aren't you angry that those three just slipped away from under our noses? Don't you want to catch them again with your own hands?"
As the conversation progressed, the Flying Spirit Demon Lord could no longer control his emotions, turning his questions into accusations.
This time, the Giant Force Demon Lord showed no signs of displeasure and calmly replied, "First, I believe I want this more than you do. Second, we can chase, but we cannot attack! Slow down until we reach Yichuan Peak and remain vigilant, especially since the terrain around Yichuan Peak is very treacherous. Be careful that they may set traps or have someone circle around to ambush us from behind!"
"You!"
"Cough, Flying Spirit Demon Lord." The Water Crossing Demon Lord shot him a warning glance and said to the Giant Force Demon Lord, "This time, I fear we need a reason from you. All three of us believe that pursuing them now is reasonable, and I believe most of the warriors think so too. If you cannot clarify your doubts, then although we will obey Your Excellency's orders, without clear motivation, it is likely that not only the ordinary warriors but even we few will lack morale."
The Giant Force Demon Lord replied calmly, "It's simple. Their actions this time cannot be just a simple counterattack; they want to provoke us or create an illusion that 'they are heavily injured and now is the time to pursue!' Think about it carefully: although they killed many of our warriors this time, they did not inflict any real damage on our fundamental strength. If that's the case, why would they take such a great risk to attack us? Is it just to show off?"
"That display is quite something. Think about it; which one of us four isn't a well-known figure in the Demon Clan? Just this battle could make them famous in the divine realm and serve as a significant achievement among their kind."
"Heh, a significant achievement?" The Demon Lord of the Great Blade sneered. "With their abilities, do you think they could achieve anything substantial even on the front lines? Are they willing to infiltrate our stronghold and risk their lives for mere fame?"
"Then what do you think it is?"
"It's still that same point: they are luring us."
"So we just watch them leave? Don't forget the Brahma Demon King's orders!" Regardless of whether what the Great Blade Demon Lord said was true or not, they could not dare to pursue with their current strength against those three.
"Heh, how could I dare forget the Brahma Demon King's orders? But I remember that His Majesty's command was to ensure they are driven away from our operational vicinity to prevent them from causing destruction. It didn't say we must capture them. So as long as we cautiously follow them without falling into their ambushes, we've already completed our mission." After saying this, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade ignored their opinions and strode off to assign tasks.
"It seems they haven't fallen for it."
At this moment, Wang Long, who was running ahead, stopped and shook his head in frustration.
"This is going to be a big problem for us."
Shunshen and Cai Burin also stopped and looked back at Wang Long: "No way. They aren't chasing after such a good opportunity? How did these Demon Clan become so foolish?"
They had already made plans. They intended to lure the Demon Clan members toward them with this surprise attack, while they had prepared thoroughly at Yichuan Peak. The Windwood Formation set up there was several times more powerful than the one Wang Long had previously used. In a situation where the enemy was visible but they were hidden, it could unleash tremendous power—although the surveillance nodes in the sky could detect their location, they had no idea what they were doing.
Even though the enemy had managed to restrain Shunshen's divine technique with that Flying Cross Formation, this unexpected setback was not enough to deter their resolve.
Little did they know that the enemy wouldn't even give them a chance to fight. After experiencing an ambush once, it would be nearly impossible for them to use the same trick again.
"It must be that Giant Force Demon Lord," Wang Long recalled. "I could tell back then that this person's overall strategy was quite remarkable. They must have become wary of our previous encounter with Brahma Demon King, so they are seeking to avoid any mistakes rather than aiming for achievements. As long as they can keep us from infiltrating their core area or meeting up with the Divine Army, they will consider it a victory. The most impressive thing would be to wait until they've repelled the divine beings and then encircle us with their Army. At that point, we would truly be trapped with no way out!"
"So what can we do now? The enemy shows no signs of weakness, and our strength is far inferior to theirs. We can't just retreat like this, can we?" There was one thing Shunshen didn't say; after being suppressed by the Flying Cross Star Formation, whether they could retreat calmly was still uncertain.
"Exactly, besides, that guy Evil and Malicious hasn't joined us yet. We can't just leave him behind, right?"
"Of course not. I see only one solution now." A glint of determination flashed in Wang Long's eyes. "I'll personally draw them away while you all go find Evil and Malicious."
"Pfft. Don't be ridiculous; what kind of plan is that? If that's the case, how is it any different from sending yourself to your death? If it comes to that, I might as well attract them myself. At least my strength and reputation are more appealing than yours, and with my instant flash technique, I might even escape when it matters. When it comes to saving my life, I'm much better at it than you."
Wang Long shook his head and said, "This is precisely because you have too many means to save your life that I cannot let you go. Do you think they would be foolish enough to chase someone who is almost impossible to catch? Once you separate from us, they can launch an even stronger assault on us. In that case, we would have even less chance of escaping. Now, do you two still consider me the leader? If you don't leave now, I will have to deal with you according to military law!"
The mention of military law from Wang Long was naturally a joke; the combined strength of the two was still above Wang Long's. Moreover, at this moment, discussing military law was pointless; it would be better to turn back and fight fiercely instead.
However, what he said made Shunshen and Cai Burin aware of his determination.
Song Shuping opened their mouths but ultimately could not voice any objections.
"Alright, don’t think that your burden is lighter than mine. Evil and Malicious must have chosen a very strange route to evade their pursuers. Whether you two can successfully find him is still uncertain, so don’t worry about me anymore. Let’s go!"
Watching Cai Burin and Song Shuping finally make up their minds to leave, Wang Long took a deep breath, feeling a surge of ambition within him.
Did they really think that having so many Demon Lords could do anything to me? Today, I will let you witness the guerrilla tactics that haunt both humans and ghosts in this world!
Through various trials, Wang Long had already determined that they discovered his whereabouts through the unique sensing of their formation combined with the two "eyes" in the sky. Until he thoroughly understood that formation, he didn't know how to avoid their sensing. However, it seemed unlikely that such a thing could be too precise; only the eye in the sky needed to be taken seriously first. While thinking this, Wang Long turned around and rushed towards Yichuan Peak.
Although the dense forest there limited his movements, with such a vast area of woods, even if they searched closely along the edges, it would likely not be resolved quickly.
