Lotus Avatar had set his sights on an Xuantian-grade ghost artifact, with Jade Phoenix Ghost Venerable and a host of ghost clan experts in hot pursuit.
Dealing with a top expert like Jade Phoenix Ghost Venerable was no longer as easy as dealing with the Scholar of Nether Sun had been. The two sides entered a prolonged pursuit.
Meanwhile, the dragon army led by Wen Yan, Wen Tingdao, and Jin Tong had finally broken through the Eight Thousand Ghost Mountains alongside the Dragon Wolf Clan, the Page Stone Clan, and the human army, and was retreating all the way toward Devil Lord Muchuan's cave dwelling.
The furious Black-and-White Ghost Infant was naturally unwilling to accept defeat. He couldn't stand by and watch such a dragon army escape right under his nose, much less let this heaven-sent opportunity slip away.
With no other tactic as formidable as the Eight Thousand Ghost Mountains, Black-and-White Ghost Infant gritted his teeth and personally led the ghost army to intercept them.
Wen Yan and Wen Tingdao had never expected the enemy to back down after they broke out of the Eight Thousand Ghost Mountains. They had spent so much effort coming to intercept them; naturally, they wanted to claim some spoils.
Yet after a bout of slaughter, the meager gains they had secured were nowhere near enough to offset their losses. Ghost Lords had their pride, after all.
He had personally laid down a grand formation to intercept them, only for these junior members of the dragon clan to lead an army through it and break out. It was only natural that he would lose face and struggle to accept such a defeat.
At this point, a head-on clash between the two armies had become the final means of deciding the victor.
