Didn't follow?
After running all the way, Xu Xiaoshou finally discovered that Hua Changdeng and Moon Fox had both given up the chase.
This was somewhat unexpected indeed.
"Have they thought it through?"
He thought at least those two would split up and intercept him!
Yue Gongli really guessed wrong. Xu Xiaoshou wasn't heading to Qianshi.
He split Jin Ren's will into two halves, and on this final journey, he decided to take a risk.
Anyway, with death inevitable, he chose both Qianshi and Mournful.
If Hua and Yue split, one half of Jin Ren's will would inevitably encounter Hua Changdeng, that part would naturally be abandoned directly.
But the other half would meet Moon Fox, and that allowed for some maneuvering space.
Yue Gongli, of course, was not comparable to Dao Qiongcang. How many Dao Qiongcangs are there in this world?
His talent and wisdom, Xu Xiaoshou actually acknowledged, knowing this guy never had the intention of complete opposition with him.
