Gongsun Xiang kept babbling on as though he wanted to reconcile with Jiang Qiao.
In reality, he was merely making a show of attacking one place while secretly striking another.
He was only buying time.
From beginning to end, he had never expected Jiang Qiao to believe his nonsense. After all, they had been fighting to the death fifteen minutes ago, and then fifteen minutes later he came to seek reconciliation and discuss cooperation.
Only a ghost would believe him!
But that did not matter.
The purpose of their conversation was to buy time. As long as his stream of nonsense could draw their attention and make them speculate about what he was planning, keeping them there and wasting their time... that was enough.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
The pyramid had already descended into the deep pit and was gradually returning to the underground ocean.
Leng Quan and several City Gods were climbing onto the divine platform.
Their plan was simple.
Gongsun Xiang and the other two would hold Jiang Qiao back while they secretly activated the divine platform and summoned the Metropolitan City God!
Yang Ling was terrifying.
He held a Taboo Weapon.
Although he might have expended a great deal of energy just now, how could a Taboo Weapon be taken lightly?
The Demon Tower had been taken away by the Mountain Ghosts. If the Taboo Weapon revealed even the slightest trace of its might, it would be enough to wipe them all out.
So, deep down.
Leng Quan and the others wanted to run.
But the problem was this.
If they ran now, things would become even more difficult later.
Everyone knew.
Yang Ling was weak now, making this the best opportunity to kill him.
If they missed today.
Once he recovered.
They would be doomed.
Moreover.
That bastard
