All eyes were on Nangong Yao as he said, "Let's move a little farther." He needed to think things through carefully before making a hasty decision. If Qiandu Xiang had more men than they accounted for, what then? Even if there were only five or six hundred, it wouldn't be easy to deal with them. Still, he wanted to try to shake them off. After all, there was still some distance to the mountain they were heading for; there was no need to rush.
Ouyang Yue also felt at a loss. In this regard, she definitely lacked Nangong Yao's experience.
Jiu Hu suggested, "Why don't we leave a group of people behind and let another group continue to move forward? The people from our Sacred Spirit Sect can stay."
Ouyang Yue found his idea somewhat reasonable and said, "That's not bad."
However, Nangong Yao countered, "No, you can't be sure that you'd be able to lose them. Let's wait a bit." How could he not be aware of the dangers here? How could Ouyang Yue possibly contend with Qiandu Xiang?
