Chapter 599: Pincer Attack, Shihun Like a Snake
The Soul Eater Leader had no idea that he was being cornered solely by Sikong Jing; instead, he thought that Gongyang Ying had come with the people of Jianghu.
Retreat, retreat, retreat...
As expected, the Soul Stealers were formidable. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the stronghold had retreated into the Soul Penetration Mountain, while the fifty thousand soldiers of Xia Dalian’s 66th Army, naturally, found themselves grasping at straws.
However, all of this was part of Sikong Jing’s plan — it was intentional to drive the Soul Stealers away.
Looking at the empty stronghold, Sikong Jing reappeared and said, "You all should station yourselves in the stronghold. Gongyang Ying and Yan Qihuan are likely to send spies first, so for now, you’ll act as mountain bandits here."
Upon hearing this, Xia Dalian agreed and led her fifty thousand soldiers into the stronghold, completely assuming the guise of mountain bandits.
Meanwhile, Sikong Jing left and entered the Soul Penetration Mountain.
He controlled the Little Demon Beast, beginning to monitor the escape route of the Soul Stealers, and then relayed the information to Ning Jingjing and Lian Guang.
Lian Guang’s seven hundred Absolute Night Wolf Guards tirelessly erased the cunning traps left by the Soul Stealers...
Such as poison gas, and objects liked by demon beasts that would contaminate the pursuers and then lure the demon beasts to attack them.
