This gave him not even the slightest bit of face.
Old Demon Fire Ghost's expression darkened, but You Mo and Nether Tiger did not take up that thread at all, simply talking among themselves.
"Since that is so, I'll go south. Brother Nether Tiger?"
"I'll go north."
The direction Wang Yu left in was east of Black Mountain Pass—in other words, the front. That left the job of sneaking around the rear for a sneak attack to Fire Ghost.
That position was somewhat dangerous. After all, if the Righteous Qi Sword Chief and Silver Moon Granny retreated, they would definitely flee from the rear. If those two passed over his head, who knew whether they might give him a ruthless blow.
Who could say for certain?
Unfortunately, those three moved too quickly. In a flash, their figures vanished, showing little respect for an old senior like him.
Since matters had come to this...
If he wanted to blame anything, he could only blame his own poor eyesight for failing to notice that the three of them had secretly reached an agreement. And he still had a private grudge with Moon Gazing Palace, so he was even less willing to expose his methods and draw Silver Moon Granny's attention.
He could only hope the Disguise Secret Technique was effective enough. As long as he did not expose his methods, Silver Moon Granny should not recognize him by appearance alone.
After the four of them took their positions, the demonic cultivator squads they had brought stopped and hid even farther away. They likewise could not participate in a battle of this level; their role lay more in taking over afterward.
Once Black Mountain Pass was taken, the Nascent Soul experts would naturally disperse. At that time, it would be up to them.
