"Did... did he catch up?"
Ever since fleeing that disastrous battlefield before the Huang Army, Renekton had raced madly along the edge of the five-hundred-li thunder zone without looking back. Only after he had flown far away and heard no movement behind him did he suddenly come to his senses and realize he seemed to have forgotten something.
The core mission of this trip had been to carry out the "feigned defeat" plan, with the goal of luring that Huang Lord into pursuing him!
Well, he had run, all right, but this was absolutely not the strategic retreat from the plan, where he controlled the situation and deliberately exposed a weakness. He had genuinely been scared out of his wits and fled on pure instinct!
Any arrogant notions of competing with Xu Kun, or even finding an opportunity to capture him, had vanished completely the moment Xu Kun had effortlessly suppressed everyone as though playing with toys.
At that moment, Renekton had truly been scared out of his soul. He had only cared about running blindly. How could he have remembered any mission?
Yet after running so far in one breath and discovering that no one was pursuing him, a fierce wave of regret and anxiety rose in Renekton's heart.
"If... if no one comes after me, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been wasted? Wouldn't all those sacrifices have been for nothing?!"
For this plan, he had brought out all of his painstakingly cultivated Thirteen Protectors!
Now, several Protectors, including She Tu Cunxiao, had been slaughtered, leaving his heart aching as if it were being carved apart. As for She Tu Si Yuan and the others, who had been severely injured and fallen unconscious earlier, he had had no time to care for them while fleeing in panic. By
