Turning Back to Fight

Chen Chuan had an inexplicable feeling at that moment: this demon-ghost seemed to have remembered him.

Judging by how it had stopped pursuing him once he reached the edge of the area, Wei Guochang and Gai Shuhe had likely chosen to withdraw from here for the same reason.

Fighting an enemy like this both wasted life energy and posed a threat to their lives. They had no choice but to make that decision.

As for why they did not find a way to get rid of the demon-ghost? Well, that would not be easy. If they brought in more and stronger Fighters, Great Shun could not possibly fail to react. In the end, perhaps neither side would be able to make a move.

Moreover, with the Old Imperial Household's resources in the Jibei Province Convergence Zone, they likely could not support three or more Fighters stationed here for an extended period.

Besides, even if those conditions were met and they invited someone stronger, they would inevitably have to share part of this Hunting Ground with that person. They themselves would not get much. Rather than that, it was better to maintain the current situation and wait until they became strong enough to perhaps fight their way back in someday.

But they would never get that chance again.

He considered it. Though the demon-ghost was formidable and possessed a degree of fighting skill, it followed combat instinct rather than being a pure Fighter. Strictly speaking, it likely could not even exert half the strength it had before mutating. So it was not impossible to deal with.

After going several days and nights without rest, then running all night, he had expended a great deal of stamina. He decided to replenish himself and recover first, then return once he was fully prepared.
