In this situation, Chu Mu couldn't attack Heavenly Consort directly. Firstly, the White Tiger would detect his intentions, and secondly, Heavenly Consort herself was always hiding in the surroundings. As soon as Chu Mu transformed into a half-demon, she would be able to react and summon the Crowned Phoenix King.
So, Chu Mu decided to instantly kill the White Tiger, which posed a certain threat to him, and let Heavenly Consort Mu Qingyi lose one spirit first. Then, he could slowly deal with the Crowned Phoenix King.
In this Polar-Ice Land, the strength of the Crowned Phoenix King was greatly reduced, and Chu Mu was confident in defeating it.
If Heavenly Consort tried to escape, Chu Mu would definitely pursue relentlessly. The two months travel would provide enough time for Chu Mu to slowly chase and kill, considering that the speed of the Crowned Phoenix King wouldn't be much faster here.
