Sha Chen had already decided to kill them.
However, he remained cautious. He didn't plan to leave the Flowing Sand River to make his move; instead, he intended to lure the Black Bear Demon and his followers into the river.
Otherwise, leaving rashly might play into someone else's cunning scheme.
Moreover, with the battle imminent, the Black Bear Demon and the other two Great Demon Kings were formidable opponents. He had to act swiftly and decisively.
The White Flower Serpent and Ling Xuzi were still manageable, being just ordinary early-stage Golden Immortals.
The Black Bear Demon's strength, however, had reached the high-tier Golden Immortal stage, only a notch below Sha Chen, forcing him to proceed with extreme caution to avoid any potential ambush.
Sha Chen donned both the Eight Diagrams Immortal Clothes and the Purple Illuminate Immortal Robe, secretly clutching several Magical Tools.
He held the Parent-child Sword in one hand and the Crescent Shovel in the other.
