After leaving Yichuan Long, Cheng Ziang and his group headed directly and without hesitation northwards, leaving the territories of the Dangyang Family and the Yichuan Clan and returning to the area controlled by the Demon Clan army.
Having encountered Yichuan Long, Ziang realized that their efforts to instigate division within the Yichuan Clan had essentially come to an end. This was already the best outcome they could achieve; there would be no further progress.
Intuition told Cheng Ziang that the Yichuan Clan was very likely to launch a large-scale offensive to break the Demon Clan army's encirclement of the Yichuan Clan's domains.
