The crowd exchanged glances, their expressions drastically changing!
If that were true, and the enemy took another route... had they completely drained their forces on both sides? Wouldn't that mean the enemy could advance unimpeded?
Had they created a clear path for their enemies?
Thinking about this, all the supreme beings felt as if they had just eaten something foul, their faces burning with embarrassment.
Were they truly this foolish? Had they been played like pawns in someone else's game?
At this moment, everyone was filled with rage!
"Split up! We must provide reinforcements immediately!" The leading fifth rank supreme was nearly spitting blood as he hurriedly made arrangements, eager to set off.
"But... Elder, what about our people stationed here?" the supreme who had been guarding this route asked nervously.
"What do you mean, what about them?!" The fifth rank supreme was boiling with anger, smoke nearly rising from his head. "The enemy has gone down another path, what do you suggest we do?! You fool!"
Before he finished speaking, he took off with a whoosh!
At that moment, his heart was filled with resentment.
Both ashamed and furious, feeling stifled!
As seasoned veterans with over a thousand years of experience, how could they let a junior toy with them like this? It was simply intolerable!
While flying through the air, he gritted his teeth, thinking: If I catch those young ones, I will definitely strip the skin off their backs...
Figures flickered, and the people on both sides soon vanished without a trace.
Only the original guardians of this path remained.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly split into two groups and chase after them!" The leading supreme shouted, stomping his foot. "Why does everyone look like they’re standing still?"
The crowd hurriedly complied, soon dispersing chaotically, then with a whoosh they leapt into the air...
Meanwhile...
Chu Yang and the others, carefully traversing through the dense forest, had only made it halfway. It was no wonder the Li family had not destroyed this area; it was connected to the earth's veins.
In terms of hardness and flexibility, this forest surpassed ordinary woods by dozens of times.
Moreover, the vegetation in this area was dense, with iron-like vines tightly intertwined, almost merging the entire forest into one...
Walking through it was indeed no easy task.
Everyone moved cautiously, careful not to break branches or leave traces, as if they were performing acrobatics...
Just then...
A sudden surge of chaotic emotions erupted in the air. Not far ahead, white-clothed figures resembling large birds dashed across the sky like the wind, rushing toward that path.
Faintly, malicious curses could be heard...
With a whoosh, the white shadow flickered; in that moment, it was hard to tell how many people had passed by.
Seeing this, everyone was in awe of Chu Yang.
He had truly calculated it perfectly...
The enemy had actually returned...
Thinking about it, if they had still been racing down that path at that moment... wouldn't they have been ambushed from both sides?
Everyone broke into a cold sweat at this realization.
"Let’s pick up the pace!" Chu Yang whispered; immediately, everyone snapped to attention and rushed forward.
The two sides intersected, moving in both directions; they were merely five or six miles apart...
It was as if they had agreed to play a game without any prior arrangement...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Chu Yang led everyone out of the forest without any hesitation, charging straight onto the road. Then, without stop, they sprinted forward at full speed!
There was no intention to slow down; they ran as fast as they could.
After several miles, suddenly a long whistle came from behind. Clearly, it was a signal: "Hurry, the enemy has fled down this route..."
...
On the other side, several supreme beings looked grave as they stared at the string of footprints left by Chu Yang.
"So they really ran this way..." the leading fifth rank supreme's expression was dark, filled with barely contained rage.
