Most crucially, these people knew full well that Immortal Venerable Ye Ming had long since tied them to his boat. There was no getting off anymore.
Thus, during the battle just now, they had fought even harder than the spirit beasts.
Now that the overall situation had been decided, they naturally understood exactly what fate might await them. They turned and fled at once, mixing in among the spirit beasts in an attempt to slip through the cracks.
Yet the black-robed man did not pursue the spirit beasts scattering in all directions. He had no intention whatsoever of sparing these people, chasing after them directly and cutting them down one by one.
Zhuo Yingjie and the others immediately understood the black-robed man's intentions. They set their sights on these cultivators, who had plainly followed Immortal Venerable Ye Ming in betraying the Human Race, and hunted them down.
In the previous battle, the Nine Heavens Spirit Fox and Immortal Venerable Ye Ming, the only ones capable of posing a threat, had already fallen. Even though Ye Tian had expended a tremendous amount of strength, with Qin Zhen controlling the remaining power, no one present was still a match for him.
Among the fleeing human cultivators, some had initially wanted to turn back and make a desperate final stand after realizing they could not escape. But under the black-robed man's lead, they were easily suppressed.
After the ensuing battle continued for half an hour, it finally came to a complete end. Taiping Prefecture City, which had experienced an unprecedented great battle, gradually fell quiet.
Aside from those killed on the spot, the remaining spirit beasts fled far away.
Of the human cultivators who had followed Immortal Venerable Ye Ming, a small number escaped amid the chaos, while the overwhelming majority were slain.
