The battle between Golden Core Stage cultivators and Purple Mansion Stage cultivators was not one Zhouyang could interfere with and he could only avoid it from afar.
He retreated two to three hundred miles from the battlefield before stopping.
It wasn't that he didn't want to escape farther; if he had the choice, he certainly would have preferred to flee directly to the edge of the oasis, far away from the dangerous battlefield behind.
Unfortunately, the task assigned by Cao Wenjin to these Foundation Establishment cultivators was to ambush and intercept those Tier Three demon beasts coming to reinforce the "Holy Mountain" from the outskirts of the battle zone.
This operation included not only these vassal clan cultivators but also cultivators from the Yellow Sand Sect, whose numbers were not vastly different, to supervise and execute the mission together.
At this time, anyone who dared to ignore the orders would face severe consequences later on.
