The two goat demons before him were far stronger than the Void Initiation insect demon responsible for the escort. Since they had no backing behind them, Lu Xiaotian naturally had no qualms about manipulating the two of them.
"Very well. Then I'll accompany you, Fellow Daoist." The One-Horned Goat Demon knew what had happened to his old companion Red-Eye. With unwelcome guests at his door, how could he dare refuse?
The procession escorting the human and demon slaves was quite large, so naturally it could not move as quickly as Lu Xiaotian and the other Void Initiation experts. By the time it caught up, it had not traveled very far from the place Lu Xiaotian had seen earlier.
"Brother Wuxiu." Lu Xiaotian landed far behind the procession, with no intention of revealing himself. The Red-Eye Goat Demon shouted and caught up with the insect demon Wuxiu, who was in charge of the escort.
"So it's Brother Red-Eye and Brother One-Horn. I never thought that after all these years, the two of you would have buried the hatchet. Truly, this calls for congratulations." The insect demon Wuxiu spoke ingratiatingly. Both goat demons were far above him in cultivation, and whenever he operated in this area of Alpaca Ridge, he had always needed to cultivate ties with them. He had rarely dealt with them over the past hundred years, but now that they had returned, the situation was naturally different.
"Among the human slaves you're escorting, there's one who has some connection with me," Red-Eye said simply.
"Oh? Then that's easy. Those fools below truly had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai—they even captured someone acquainted with you, Brother Red-Eye. Just take whoever you want. I'll also hand over that blind fool below for you to deal with."
