Of course Jiang Wang was not going to Tianjing City to petition the Jing Emperor and plead his innocence. He was not tired of living, either.
The ones who had ambushed him were elite troops of the Jing Kingdom's Evil-Suppressing Army. The one now hunting him down was Zhao Xuanyang, a Jing Kingdom prodigy.
Under such circumstances, absolutely no one would imagine that he would flee toward the Jing Kingdom.
It was practically walking into the net.
And precisely because of that, he chose this course.
Of course, he was not truly planning to enter the Jing Kingdom. He would instead travel along its border, cross the Central Regions, and snatch a chance at life from the edge of a cliff.
From any angle, he had no possibility of contending against Zhao Xuanyang.
It could be said that the moment the two met face-to-face, this game of pursuit and escape would be over. His sole advantage was that Zhao Xuanyang had not yet arrived, and he could still freely choose his escape route.
He had to make good use of this time.
After flying at swift speed for a while, he had already sorted out his plan for escape. Jiang Wang urgently entered the Great Void Illusion Realm again and wrote two letters in quick succession. One was for Zuo Guangshu, and one for Chongxuan Sheng.
The letter to Zuo Guangshu contained only this—"Something has come up. I will not be going to Chu for now. Do not worry."
His letter to Chongxuan Sheng read—"At the midpoint of Cloud and Song, Jing sent elite Evil-Suppressing Army troops after me. I killed them in return. Zhao Xuanyang now comes personally, slandering me as demon-tainted. I intend to flee east through Jing."
In his eyes, Zuo Guangshu was still only a child.
