The Haotian Alliance sprang into action, splitting their forces into three groups—one advancing and two flanking from the left and right sides. Thus, they were able to form a semi-encirclement.
They left a gap on purpose, firstly because circling to the rear was unrealistic, and secondly because they feared pushing too hard might provoke the enemy's fighting spirit. The basic principle of encircling three sides and leaving one open was well understood by everyone.
As movements began on this front, the cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge immediately noticed. However, they showed no intention of fleeing, but rather rubbed their hands in eagerness, preparing to redeem their previous shame.
With strategic troop placements, the forces from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge quickly formed a tight fighting formation, ready for battle.
The cultivators from the three divisions of the Haotian Alliance slowly reached their predetermined positions and quietly waited.
