"Actually, I think that the Demon Lord of the Decapitation Army setting up this Eight Gates Killing Formation is his way of begging for mercy. We shouldn't hit a god in the face, and we shouldn't go too far in doing things. Why don't we take advantage of this and withdraw our troops now? We'll save face and avoid a bloodbath. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
Wang Yao was pondering this when Lü Bu spoke up again.
"Well...?" The people in the tent stared at each other, their eyes wide with surprise, after hearing Lu Bu's words.
If Lü Bu's words were wrong, they would be extremely wrong. The saying goes, "We should pursue the enemy with our remaining strength." How can one stop when the enemy is already at the city gates? However, from the perspective of Wang Yao, the Netherworld Ghost, and the Demon Clan, Lü Bu's words are not without reason.
After all, none of the three realms—the Immortals, the Underworld, or the Demon Realm—had any intention of completely destroying the Demon Realm. The Immortals, in particular, aimed to maintain a balance between the God and Demon Realms. This balance, of course, meant that the two realms should remain impartial and not be divided into life-or-death struggles.
So, as the war has progressed to this point, Wang Yao has often worried about how to control the intensity and degree of the battle. However, as the war has progressed to this point, there has never been a situation where the demons are overwhelmingly against Wang Yao, giving him a huge advantage. This makes it impossible for him to control the situation even if he wanted to.
On the contrary, he was ambushed by the demons last time, which left him in a rather embarrassing situation. Therefore, it seems difficult to justify the claim that the demons were truly afraid of them, as Lu Bu claimed.
However, judging from the momentum, the reinforcements from the Three Realms reclaimed the Divine Realm of Reclaiming the Sea and fought their way to the city of the Decapitated Demon. It did seem like they had the demons cornered, which didn't seem wrong.
