Just as they suspected, the Western cultivators who appeared again were indeed caught by those they had ambushed nearby.
However, despite their thorough calculations, they did not anticipate that this group of Western cultivators would have experts assisting them, and several, at that.
In this position, they only had a few people, and their strength was not as good as the opponent's, so it was uncertain whether they should make a move or not.
Nearby brethren would surely come to their aid; they only needed to send out a distress signal.
So, they mustered their courage; first, they sent out a signal for reinforcements and then moved to intercept the Western cultivators who were trying to escape.
The powerful Western cultivators, seeing the signal flare in the sky, immediately decided not to tangle with these cultivators from the Central Plains.
They set off smoke bombs, disappearing into the thick forest amid the smoke.
