Xia Yuqing and the Monkey each led a group of over a dozen people, running in different directions, while their pursuers split into two groups as well.
The Monkey, leading his group, acted conspicuously as if the real "Shi Tou" was indeed in his backpack to make sure the pursuers behind him believed it was authentic. As expected, more people chased him than those pursuing Xia Yuqing.
This way, Xia Yuqing's chances of survival greatly increased.
"Stop right there, Skinny!" shouted several dozen people from Nether behind him.
The Monkey, unwilling to show weakness, cursed back at them, "You think you can steal your lord's belongings? Just look at yourselves first!"
After saying that, the Monkey ran.
Because now, the only thing to do was to run.
Drawing away as many as he could meant Xia Yuqing would have a chance to escape,
while Xia Yuqing's group was still on the run, with a dozen people following him.
