Originally, he intended to use the Dragon Country's Ship as a stronghold and then find a way to incite these Hua Dan Cultivators to join forces in besieging Xiao Musui. He himself would wait on the sidelines, seeking an opportunity to strike the enemy. If he managed to kill Xiao Musui on the spot, he would not only eliminate a major threat but also thoroughly bind these Hua Dan Cultivators to his side.
Although now trapped and unable to reach the Dragon Country's Ship, he wasn't entirely without options. At worst, he could summon the Demon Storage and hide within it, teleporting through the void. Even if Xiao Musui could catch up, he would find himself unable to do anything to him for the time being.
During the three-person attack against Xiao Musui, he had once attempted to activate the wisp of Purple Light at the center of his brow, but a mystical feeling told him that something was still missing. Even if he were to unleash this sword, it might not necessarily harm the opponent.
