The enemy began to pull back their defense line, intending to engage in a war of attrition with our side.
Ma Lin took out the "Book of the Pontiff" and recited a prayer of unmatched bravery. Our side's momentum soared, forcing the enemy to retreat repeatedly, until suddenly, the Devouring King shouted at a masked god-kin, "Wu Qi, so it's you."
The masked god-kin replied, "I am not Wu Qi."
The Devouring King turned back and yelled to Ma Lin, "Master, this guy is the fugitive Wu Qi from Jiutian City, used to be a lackey for the West Gate Overlord."
The masked god-kin fell silent and suddenly turned to flee.
Seeing this, the Devouring King immediately gave chase.
The enemy's masked god-kin started to chatter among themselves and then all at once began chasing after Wu Qi as well.
Ma Lin wanted to call the Devouring King back, but he said, "Master, I've got an old score to settle with this old guy. You should come with me."
