Starting to attack them was no different from digging one's own grave.
Although He Youliang's cultivation level was higher than Liu Youcheng's, Liu Youcheng's true form was a five-clawed Golden Dragon, a divine beast. It was easy to defeat him, but difficult to kill him.
Compared to He Youliang, who was a blue-wave Dragon, he was much more difficult to kill.
Hence, Gu Mingzhou could understand why Zhao Qiankun had targeted He Youliang first.
However, it was very likely that they were still in a group, which would make the plan useless.
If they didn't split up, then their goal of gradually breaking through would naturally lose its effect.
Since he had chosen to fight the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog head-on, he naturally couldn't leave Wu Ji patriarch's body behind, which would give the mutated demonic beasts on the island a chance to improve their strength.
