"Just like that, it ran?"
Xu Xiaoshou cast a slightly shocked gaze at Shouye.
He had thought that even if the Red Robes arrived, there should at least be a confrontation, a battle—none of that could be skipped.
At the very least, they should exchange a couple of moves, gauge each other's strength, and then decide whether to stay or leave! Yet Shouye had merely counted, and the Ghost Beast that had just dominated all directions and looked down upon the world fled in utter disarray?
