Tang Shaoyang ran through the forest while monitoring his pursuers through Spirit Eyes. It was, of course, just an act to lure them into the forest. He did not think that his act could fool them all as seven Demi-God Ranks followed him into the forest without suspicion. They did not think there might be a trap for them.
There was no trap, but everything worked according to his plan. He located his people with Spirit Eyes and led the seven Demi-God Ranks to the opposite direction where they were. The plan was that he would fight The Apostles and The Cardinals while Ladirma along with The Worm Alliance and The Skelly Family would fight the underlings.
"He is quite fast for an exhausted rat!" Vazha could see the movement from the forest, but they could not catch up. It was embarrassing considering they were chasing someone who was exhausted.
