As the saying goes, never pursue a desperate foe. Knowing their opponents were scheming something, Zou Feng's group naturally wouldn't continue the chase.
Although their plan was to beat Gongyang Wuji at his own game and finally have the clash they wanted, that didn't mean they had to knowingly walk into a trap.
After all, if they let their enemies lead them by the nose, they risked a terrible outcome. In the worst-case scenario, even if they managed to kill Gongyang Wuji, they would be surrounded by other Tribulation Cultivators with no way to escape.
In any case, Zou Feng wasn't about to foolishly give chase.
The group changed direction and continued to shadow the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect's main army, which was the safest route by far.
And sure enough, during the rest of their journey, small squads of Tribulation Cultivators periodically appeared to harass Zou Feng and his companions.
