Jiang Yi wanted to pursue Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu while Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni wanted to evade the pursuit.
This was a battle of pursuit, and both sides were in a contest. Just as Ji Tingyu said, it would be a great victory if they managed to escape successfully.
Jiang Yi had risked a lot this time and had plotted for a very long time. Once the battle started, he had exposed his identity and would alert the opposition. If he couldn't capture the two of them this time, he would never have the chance in the future again.
Because of his exposed identity and Su Ruoxue being in Ji Tingyu's hands, not only would Jiang Yi be hunted by the Nine Thearchs Clans, but Su Ruoxue might also be implicated because of this. If Ji Tingyu was to hang Su Ruoxue outside the North Thearch City, would Jiang Yi go rescue her?
