The Divine Phoenix woman and the Curse Ancestor gradually moved westward in their battle while Xiao Mu, Zun, and Wei Lingxiao employed the Five Elements Escaping Technique and the Five-in-One Escape to chase them on the ground.
The Curse Ancestor seemed to realize that reinforcements from the human world were arriving one after another, so the idea of fleeing grew even stronger. During the battle with the Divine Phoenix woman, he gradually defended more than attacked, devoting most of his energy to figuring out how to escape.
Although he was half a True God, he could not withstand a group of Divine Spirits ganging up on him. The longer the delay, the more support the human side would have, and the harder it would be for him to break free.
