"Master, they're already catching up. They should reach us in just three days," Star Devourer's Clone said.
"Three days, huh? Understood." Yang Hao nodded.
The Ancient Abyss Canyon they had chosen was quite far from Qi Nation, requiring them to cross a vast stretch of wilderness.
By pursuing them upstream along Hong He, their pursuers from Qi Nation could avoid fighting within other nations' territories and had no fear of angering other powers.
"Fuck, this brat really knows how to run," one of the Chaos Masters controlling the Nine-Realm Dragon Phoenix could not help saying.
"So what if he can run? This brat has never appeared before. We don't even know which power he belongs to. If he's acting on his own, that's one thing, but if his backers ordered this..."
"Hmph! They dared anger Qi Nation. They'll soon learn the price!"
"Enough talk. Catch him first!"
The three Chaos Masters drove the Nine-Realm Dragon Phoenix at full power, continually reporting their situation to Qi Nation during the pursuit.
Qi Nation's army followed behind, but without the Nine-Realm Dragon Phoenix's speed, it lagged somewhat farther back.
"The Nine-Realm Dragon Phoenix, huh? Soon, it'll become your energy," Yang Hao said.
"Haha! I could defeat this Nine-Realm Dragon Phoenix if I paid a price. I'm only pretending to be outmatched to lure in more of Qi Nation's army," Star Devourer laughed.
"Qi Nation was among those who joined forces to destroy Flower Language Island back then. This is the perfect chance to avenge its legacy!"
They had chosen Qi Nation as their target precisely because it was one of the ten nations that had destroyed the Flower Language Island Kingdom.
Having benefited from Flower Language Island's legacy, their ultimate goal was naturally to rebuild it. Taking revenge along the way was inevitable.
