Vice President Yang was feeling unwell.
It wasn't that he thought he was going to fail, but he always felt that the King of Cloud Summit across from him was not using his full strength.
At first, he thought it was an illusion, but he increasingly realized that this guy seemed to be toying with him.
When Vice President Yang arrived, he didn't bring too many people. After leaving a small team from the Zero Commerce Association to guard Ye Zhongming and the others, there were barely fifty people in total. Even if Ye Zhongming's pigs weren't very good at fighting, their numbers combined were still a bit more than his.
However, after fighting for a while, especially after the distress signal was sent, Ye Zhongming began to retreat with his people.
Vice President Yang thought that he would make the same choice in this situation, because the Zero Commerce Association's camp wasn't far from here, and continuing to fight would only lead to being wiped out by the incoming reinforcements.
During the retreat, Vice President Yang noticed a problem.
The opponent had more than a dozen obviously powerful evolvers protecting those pigs as they retreated, while Ye Zhongming was protecting those dozen or so subordinates.
At first, he didn't feel anything unusual, but later, Vice President Yang discovered that as long as Ye Zhongming wanted, he could stop all of them.
Having such strength but not choosing to crush their side head-on made Vice President Yang's doubts grow stronger.
However, no matter how he thought, he didn’t realize that Ye Zhongming was using himself as bait, deliberately not leaving too quickly to let Vice President Yang track his movements.
Thus, after an hour of back and forth, Ye Zhongming clearly sensed a huge killing intent coalescing in the direction he had previously left, gradually taking shape and then rushing towards him.
Ye Zhongming observed the surrounding environment and found that this was a hilly area with plenty of trees, which was not a good spot for his plan to unfold.
Since he was taking the risk, he wanted to gain the maximum benefit.
The enemy was coming much faster than he had anticipated. It seemed that whether it was the Zero Commerce Association, the Pavilion of Quality, or the Divine Hall, they were all determined to capture him, gathering such a large army so quickly.
That kind of killing intent could only arise when tens or hundreds of thousands of people gathered together.
Ye Zhongming launched a fierce attack.
He killed five of the opponent's evolvers in one go, prompting Vice President Yang to change his strategy—no longer charging ahead to engage in a brawl, but following behind, looking for opportunities to strike, while communication with the reinforcements behind became more frequent.
After crossing a hill, Ye Zhongming saw that the distance between Vice President Yang's group and him had exceeded five hundred meters. He immediately gathered his people around him and took out a simple map he had drawn earlier.
"My people will take you away. Do you see that? Just go around that hill and then walk here. They will take you to the Cloud Summit Villa."
The avoidance people would fully execute his orders. Ye Zhongming was merely reassuring Xiaohua and Wang Xiaorui, making it seem as though he was adopting their plan, but in fact, it was just a part of his own plan. Now, these people had completed their mission; what was next was Ye Zhongming's war alone.
"We..."
"I'm not asking for your opinion." Ye Zhongming interrupted Xiaohua's words without politeness and handed the map to the captain of the avoidance team.
"Take care, boss." The captain was very excited to be on a mission with Ye Zhongming. Now that the boss had asked him to leave, he would leave without any worries.
In their hearts, Ye Zhongming was an undefeated existence.
After speaking, he led his subordinates and the women to retreat, while Ye Zhongming turned and returned to the hill. Vice President Yang, who was already within a hundred meters, immediately stopped in his tracks.
