Wang Zheng shook his head and chose to believe the clues the lieutenant colonel had given him earlier.
I kept thinking to myself that there must have been some oversight in some part of the process.
He couldn't help but put himself in his principal's shoes and begin to reconstruct the events.
"At that moment, I was searching for my students in the wilderness when I unexpectedly passed through Baoshan. I sensed the aura of the Demon King and discovered that more than a dozen Demon Kings had released their domains and were fighting against the superhumans in the city."
Seeing that the humans were losing, I wanted to help, so I took advantage of the chaos of the battle and sneaked in.
He then launched a sneak attack and severely injured a demon king. Before the enemy could surround him, he took the initiative to escape. He deliberately revealed his whereabouts and swaggered eastward, creating the illusion that he wanted to run back to the human heartland.
After leaving the city, I immediately turned around and left. After concealing my presence, I turned around and entered the demon kings' stronghold.
Unfortunately, among those chasing me was a demon king skilled in tracking. Realizing that his aura had been locked onto, I had no choice but to continue fleeing in the northwest.
But the further west you go, the closer you enter the territory of the demon kings, and the lower your chances of escape become. If you manage to cross the border, it will be even more dangerous.
Wang Zheng couldn't help but ask himself: If I were Old Man Chu, what would I do?
At this moment, the pursuers were hot on their heels, and there was also a demon king who could lock onto their aura. Continuing to run west would only lead to their own destruction.
What about heading north?
Passing through the territory of the Peacock Demon King, and advancing all the way into the Tibetan Plateau?
No, Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and is already in a semi-abandoned state. There are more demon kings there than in Yunnan.
Moreover, although the demon king's forces are at odds, they will definitely prioritize targeting him over him, an extraordinary being.
So, heading south? To Tengchong?
No, that won't work either. There are few people in Tengchong and no experts. I have five demon kings behind me. Even if two of them can fight one-on-one, I still have no chance against three of them.
Moreover, Wang Zheng himself came from Tengchong and did not sense anything unusual along the way. If the principal was really heading south, he would have noticed it long ago.
Wang Zheng sighed, feeling somewhat worried.
"It seems that we have no choice but to do the opposite, break through their encirclement, and continue eastward."
Because the principal had not anticipated that the opponent possessed a supernatural ability to lock onto one's aura, his plan to deceive the opponent's pursuit and return to support Baoshan was exposed by the demon kings, putting him at a disadvantage and making the situation even worse.
In this situation, the only option is to fight head-on and turn around to the east.
It would be perfect to pass between Baoshan and Yeyu and head straight for Kunming.
Not only would turning back allow him to bypass both cities smoothly, but it would also coincide with the direction he had pretended to leave in. After receiving news that Baoshan was under siege, Chuncheng would surely send someone to its aid, and they might even run into each other on the way. It would be perfect.
After Wang Zheng put himself in Chu Tianxing's shoes, the events suddenly became clear.
Moreover, their own principal was searching for his whereabouts in the wilderness and had no idea that several cities were under siege at the same time.
Wang Zheng was only betting that his guess was correct, hoping that Old Man Chu hadn't stumbled into the encirclement of other cities; otherwise, this time things might really be dire.
With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng no longer hesitated. After calculating the location, he concealed himself above the clouds and headed towards Chuncheng.
He doesn't dare to be too reckless now; he has to hide himself first.
Rescuing the principal is the top priority now, especially since the one chasing Old Man Chu is the Spirit Elephant King, who has a deep grudge against him. What if he fails to save the principal and ends up being captured alive himself?
Among all the demon kings in Yunnan, Wang Zheng is particularly adept at deceiving others and has excellent acting skills, so the other demon kings are more or less wary of him.
Given his impressive combat prowess at the time, Wang Zheng was confident he could force his opponent to retreat.
The problem is that this squalid had his only son killed by him and hates him to the core. If he really falls into his hands, Wang Zheng can't guarantee that this guy can remain calm.
Therefore, in this chaotic Yunnan province, Wang Zheng dared not be careless at all.
Extraordinary beings are everywhere, and demon kings are as common as dogs; this perfectly describes Yunnan during this special period.
As Wang Zheng carefully concealed himself and advanced by using the clouds, he gradually sensed that the spiritual energy ahead was becoming increasingly violent.
"Boom—"
"Boom!"
"Rumble, rumble—"
...
The violent lightning continued to rage in mid-air, and the dense electric snakes, like long dragons, roamed in the air, making crackling sounds.
The blazing flames burst forth in mid-air, creating bursts of sparks that burned ever brighter.
It was as if the entire world had been set ablaze, spreading outwards with terrifying heat, turning dozens of square kilometers into a sea of fire.
Before the flames subsided, a chilling wind rose again, and gusts of cold air, mixed with swirling sand, swept in from afar.
That chilling aura could be clearly felt even from a great distance.
Following closely behind, countless meteorites rained down from the sky, trailing long, fiery tails that scorched the entire land, creating deep, bottomless craters in the ground where molten lava churned and bubbled, spewing forth countless plumes of smoke...
