"What do we do next?" Demon Phoenix asked.
"Our whereabouts haven't been exposed yet, so let's keep lying in ambush and see how it goes. Hopefully, we'll encounter some stragglers. That'll be our chance," Huang Xiao said.
"There must still be plenty of stragglers," Demon Phoenix said. "Zhen Heng just said that when they came here, they had no idea there were others, much less how many people were here to hunt you down. Once they learn what the objective is, they might even start killing each other."
"Surely it wouldn't come to that," Huang Xiao said.
"Why wouldn't it?" Demon Phoenix said. "They may all be Enlightenment Realm experts, but when their own interests are at stake, why would they care about anything else? All these people are here to kill you, but only one can succeed in the end. What do you think they'll do?"
Huang Xiao fell silent. Demon Phoenix was right. In their shoes, he would probably have the same thought.
"You're a fragrant steamed bun right now. Everyone wants a bite of you," Demon Phoenix said with a chuckle.
"Not a bite. They want my life!" Huang Xiao said rather helplessly. "Whether they kill each other or not, we have to prepare for the worst: facing all ninety-nine remaining people."
"You're right to plan for that. Ninety-nine people! Just saying it makes my little feathers stand on end. Scary enough to kill me!" Demon Phoenix sighed too.
"We'll lie in ambush here for two hours. If no one comes, we'll move somewhere else. We may even have to take the initiative," Huang Xiao said.
Demon Phoenix nodded. In truth, he wanted to stay in ambush here and wait for those people to pass by.
Unfortunately, time waited for no one. If they waited too long
