After leaving the city, the eight Heavenly Demon Realm cultivators following behind Xu Chunniang did not rush to make their move, but continued tailing her.
This place was too close to Crown Mountain City. If they acted too early and their target proved slippery enough to break through the encirclement amid the chaos and return to Crown Mountain City, the losses would outweigh the gains.
All eight were seasoned veterans, so naturally, they would not make such a low-level mistake.
But Xu Chunniang's cultivation was simply too low. Although they had been warned before setting out not to let their guard down just because of her low cultivation, some still dismissed it, feeling that this operation was making a mountain out of a molehill.
She was merely an Earth Demon Realm cultivator. Even if she had some good things on her, with her cultivation standing there for all to see, how strong could she possibly be?
As for Xu Chunniang's identity, they had vaguely guessed it.
She was most likely the child of some prince or princess, who had taken treasures from home and snuck out to see the world.
People like this might be more troublesome than ordinary cultivators, but that was all. Why did they warrant the deployment of eight people?
With such thoughts in their hearts, it was inevitable that some of it showed on their faces, whereupon the leading cultivator noticed.
The leader glared at them. "She can casually produce treasures like the Yin Chen Pearl and the Golden Flood Dragon Token. She must have even more Demon Soldiers and Demonic Treasures on her. If you don't want to die, stay sharp!"
"Yes!"
Yet the facts proved that before absolute strength, no amount of vigilance was of any use.
At some point, Xu Chunniang had stopped.
