"What is this... Why retreat now?"Seeing the enemy retreat, Ma Zhong could not help but stop. Because of the enemy just doing the worst retreat plan ever.
Currently, the alliance army still holds the advantage in terms of position. Retreating means the Fanged Wolf Temple will not be surrounded anymore, so they would be on an equal footing.
Not just that, the alliance army ran away towards one direction without any formation. Sure, it means you could arrive faster, but it"s also asking for death. The rest of the Fanged Wolf Temple were all veteran with superior speed, they could easily predict, then chase and kill them if they want to.
Ma Zhong was no strategist, but by just observing them so unorganized, even anyone could see that it was a planned poorly. It was so obvious they were going deeper into the centre of Feng Clan Residence.
"What are they planning?" Ma Zhong said, "Ah!! It"s... Almost as if they were trying to lure us!"
A veteran member besides him nodded, "Sect Master is right, they are definitely trying to lure us into a trap or ambush. I believe we must be cautious when following them and keep our distance."
"I"m not so sure... In the end, we"re still following them." Ma Zhong crossed his arm calmly, he has already given up of following them as to not to fall into their plan. "We suffer so many losses because of the first ambush, we can"t afford to fall into another. Let"s rethink our plan!"
Currently, Ma Zhong was very conflicted. His biggest fear was Feng Ao Xiu, the only one who could turn things around. But, it was also suspicious that he was not here.
[Could it be that Feng Ao Xiu is not that good in battle?] the thought surfaced on Ma Zhong"s mind. If it was the case, it would explain everything. The fact that Feng Ao Xiu refused the invitation to a one on one battle with him.
And now, Feng Ao Xiu was waiting until the number of Fanged Wolf Temple would be reduced before making his appearance. But because he"s not good at fighting, he set up another ambush to kill in one blow.
All the more reason why they should plan carefully. The next move will be essential. Fell into Feng Ao Xiu"s trap once more means defeat, but if they"re successful in evading, it will be a victory.
The a.n.a.lysis was simple enough for the veteran members to see at a glance. They too share the same sentiment as their leader, Ma Zhong.
"In that case, rather than following them, let"s turn back, circle around and took another path instead. From, my a.n.a.lysis at least ninety per cent of the troop was in this one. There would not be many on the other, we can also prepare an ambush if lucky."
"Agreed!" said another member.
"Then, from which path should we go to?"
"There"s a shortcut from the west to the south area. If we used that and attack from the south, we could get there quickly and caught them by surprise."
Although the mouth doesn"t move, the eyes of the others turned sinister into a laugh. Then, they all nodded at each other.
"Alright!" Ma Zhong grinned. "Let"s go attack from the south!"

Meanwhile, Yang Wen Jia and the rest of the alliance army were running away.
"Commander Yang, the enemy did not chase after us!"
The news made, Yang Wen Jia stopped in his track. He stayed for a moment to look back.
It was true, he thought the enemy would chase and ma.s.sacre them. But, all that managed to run from the moment the order was issued were still alive. There"s also no sign of chasing.
"Is this a good sign?" Once again, Yang Wen Jia was confused. But, he quickly shook his head. What"s important for him was doing what he was told to do, retreat.
"It doesn"t matter, quickly retreat!"
Soon, Yang Wen Jia arrived at the Clan Lord Residence of the Feng Clan. As soon as he arrived, he said, "So... Son-in-law!!! What are you doing here!?"
Yang Wen Jia could not believe it. He was busy commanding and fighting all this time. Meanwhile, the strongest one and also the most important one was yet to move.
His expressions and gestures were funny. He was switching back between angry, sad, and helpless. His face sometimes red, blue, or green, but he could not say anything, afraid of disrespecting a Supreme Expert.
Everyone else in there that saw Yang Wen Jia felt like they tasted something awful upon seeing him doing those weird expressions. But, they understand. After all, they were also shocked by Feng Ao Xiu"s actions.
"Father, it"s all right. " Yang Xue Yi calmed her father down, "Young Master Ao Xiu said he has a plan."

"Plan..." Yang Wen Jia"s face turned dark. He was a commander of the Yang Clan Army for many years. Except him, who else could read the situation of a battle better? In his mind, there"s no other plan. Feng Ao Xiu has to fight Ma Zhong, or they all will die.
"All right, everyone"s here!" Feng Ao Xiu smiled while ignoring Yang Wen Jia"s funny face. "Let"s head to the south gate to see the result!"
"The result?"
Yang Wen Jia"s face became even funnier. If Feng Ao Xiu was not an Ancient Earth Realm and also not his future son-in-law, Yang Wen Jia would already choke him to death.
[You did nothing! And now, you want to see the result!!! Are you crazy!?]
"Prepare the carriage!" Feng Ao Xiu said.
"Carriage?" Ning Ruo looked at Feng Ao Xiu weirdly. "Why are you using that slow thing? You don"t need such a thing!"
"Don"t worry! We still got some time, it"s best not to arrive fast."
"That"s not what I"m asking!" Ning Ruo shout angrily.
In the end, all of them headed to the south gate. Although most were superior cultivator, they moved at the pace of Feng Ao Xiu"s slow carriage. The journey that only supposed to take fifteen to twenty minutes ends up becoming two hours. Most were disgruntled by Feng Ao Xiu"s conduct, especially Ning Ruo who"s not afraid to show her dissatisfaction.
However, when they arrived, they saw a scene no one would have thought.
