No matter what, since Yu Ci had agreed, Three Families Market, which had originally intended to use force, had no reason to go back on its word. Under Third Master He's deeply suspicious gaze, Yu Ci joined the party, and they immediately set out beyond the city.
At this time, the battle between the two Longevity True Men over the "hunting ground" was still in full swing. Every dozen breaths or so, a violent tremor would strike. Based on the frequency of those tremors, Shadow Ghost judged that one side's cultivation was slightly inferior. That side had adopted wide-ranging hit-and-run tactics and was at a disadvantage, though overall, the clash remained in the probing stage.
From this, one could further infer that the demonic cultivator using the Molten Core Prison Technique should have been the one holding the upper hand. Otherwise, given the nature of the Molten Core Prison Technique, even if he were at a disadvantage, he would not have chosen this style of skirmishing.
Hearing this broadened Yu Ci's horizons. Beyond the basic deductions, there were also certain conventional ways of thinking about Longevity True Men. Coming from someone at Shadow Ghost's level, they were immensely practical. At the same time, once he confirmed the direction in which the two True Men were fighting, Yu Ci silently breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was not in the direction they were headed!
That said, during this process, Yu Ci also noticed something: although Third Master He's group was heading toward the abandoned mining district, they were not traveling in a straight line, nor were they moving particularly fast. Especially whenever the earth tremors came, they made slight adjustments to their course, sometimes even choosing to take the long way around.
Once or twice could be dismissed, but
