"Time is of the essence. Act as soon as possible!"
Su Mo said in a deep voice. Then, he swept his gaze over the crowd and pointed at more than a dozen people. "You... you... and all of you, stay behind!"
Su Mo selected several people to remain behind. Among them were Mo Ye of the Eternal Demon Kingdom, Xing Wulan of the Heavenly Star Divine Dynasty, and over a dozen others.
Mo Ye was from the Eternal Demon Kingdom and would naturally side with the Ancient Demon Crown Prince. Such an untrustworthy person naturally could not be sent out.
"Set out with me!" Gongsun Changjue said no more. With a loud shout, he took the lead in leaving Third City.
Then, more than eighty geniuses followed closely behind him, leaving Third City and charging toward Eighth City.
At that very moment, the Ancient Demon Crown Prince had just arrived at Second City with his men and had yet to attack the city-protecting formation.
"What?" Upon seeing Gongsun Changjue leading a large force toward Eighth City, the Ancient Demon Crown Prince's expression changed dramatically.
He knew that Second City and Third City might have formed an alliance, and he had prepared for a battle against Third City. Yet he had not expected the people of Third City to head straight for his Eighth City.
"Return to the city!" Without the slightest hesitation, the Ancient Demon Crown Prince immediately shouted and led his subordinates back to Eighth City.
Seeing this, Gongsun Changjue did not advance any farther. After pausing briefly, he led his people back to Third City.
"Very good!" Within Third City, Su Mo watched everything from afar and nodded inwardly. Without Eighth City intervening, Fourth City was doomed.
Of course, that was assuming the other cities did not interfere
