Seeing everyone from Northern Profound pass the first trial and pull ahead by two hundred points, Chi Xue knew that winning first place in the Realm War was now all but impossible. He made up his mind to take last place instead. After all, he believed that even if their Heaven Realm merged with Northern Profound, they could still claim dominance through their superior strength.
As Chi Xue pondered this, Meng Du and Jiu Jie were thinking along the same lines. They knew that if they couldn't take first place in the Realm War, they would have to settle for last.
Of course, the outcome was already decided, and there was nothing they could do to turn the tide. The only thing left was to fight Ling Tian and the others for possession of the Haotian Tower.
To seize the Haotian Tower, they would have to defeat Ling Tian, Fairy Meng Shang, and the others. In their eyes, these people were their biggest rivals.
"Fellow cultivators, what do we do now? Should we go after those juniors from Northern Profound?" the Dragon Scale Pangolin asked.
As the Dragon Scale Pangolin spoke, Ling Tian and the others abruptly stopped attacking and began to retreat. However, their route diverged from Tong Xuan and the others', leaving Chi Xue and his companions bewildered.
Of course, it didn't take much for the shrewd Meng Du and Jiu Jie to realize that Ling Tian was deliberately luring them in. But with each of them harboring their own schemes, neither said a word.
"Do we go after those juniors or Ling Tian and his people?" the Jade Devouring Sky Python asked, muttering to itself, "At our speed, we should be able to catch up with the juniors from Northern Profound and eliminate them without much trouble.
