Chapter 2739: Chapter 859
The Angel army set out this time mainly with the intention of eliminating Zhou Tian.
Firstly, according to the conditions of the Paradise world, all members of the Angel army were certainly transformed by the Light God King. With such circumstances, upon receiving orders from above, no matter what they personally thought at the time, their first consideration was how best to complete the mission.
Secondly, since the incident occurred within their jurisdiction, even without pressure from above, the angels who felt embarrassed could not have no response, even knowing Zhou Tian might be difficult to deal with. Since Zhou Tian dared to do such things within their territory, those angels absolutely had a reason to confront Zhou Tian and see the outcome. Even if they couldn’t eliminate Zhou Tian, they were bound to clarify the course of events.
They absolutely couldn’t remain indifferent after realizing that a trade team was robbed nearby!
A responsibility issue first prevents those angel armies from ignoring all this. Moreover, if they ignore this matter now, who can guarantee Zhou Tian won’t act again? And if Zhou Tian repeatedly robs passing trade teams near their base, whether or not it affects nearby commerce is a minor issue; mainly, their responsibility would be massive.
As a result, given the situation at the time, the angels who hated Zhou Tian either took no action, or when they did act, they launched a carpet search at the battlefield where Zhou Tian left. Based on their performance, even if Zhou Tian was hidden among them, the possibility of finding him was not small.
However, fortunately, Zhou Tian had already anticipated that the angels would react this way, so he had withdrawn from that position at the first instant. Thus, despite how meticulously those angels searched at the time, finding Zhou Tian, this enemy, was still impossible.
Even though those angels couldn’t locate Zhou Tian, this wasn’t a reason for them to give up. In fact, given what Zhou Tian had done, unless the reason for the incident was fully understood, those angels would not disband.
Thus, even though those angels searched the battlefield where Zhou Tian left for half a day without any gains, they did not stop their actions. Since they hadn’t found Zhou Tian’s clues in the initial region where the incident occurred, they couldn’t help but expand their search area. Given the circumstances at the time, if Zhou Tian hadn’t gone far, those angels might have found him.
However, clearly, Zhou Tian was not going to give them that opportunity.
Zhou Tian had already withdrawn earlier, and if he was withdrawing, he certainly wouldn’t mind retreating even further. Based on the overall situation, it seemed Zhou Tian had no need to give them any opportunity to search for him.
Thus, Zhou Tian withdrew far ahead, and at the moment, he couldn’t even sense their actions or ability. With Zhou Tian already in this situation, those angels, who were not as powerful as him, wanting to find his footprints, would naturally be even more difficult.
The result was as such: no matter how unacceptable the angels found that outcome, facts remained facts. Given Zhou Tian had already retreated far away, even if they were unwilling to accept that fact, those angels had to admit they couldn’t search for Zhou Tian’s target.
Even so, based on the circumstances at the time, the angels couldn’t determine what the previous situation really was—even at the end of the event. Due to insufficient clues, even whether those angels died at the hands of other angels couldn’t be confirmed by the Angel Army.
Given all these circumstances, the angels searching for Zhou Tian were surely feeling unwilling. But no matter how unwilling they were, it had nothing to do with Zhou Tian at that point.
Zhou Tian wouldn’t care how they felt; anyway, by now he had already obtained what he wanted, so he definitely wouldn’t continue entangling with those angels and increase his upcoming troubles.
Even though Zhou Tian had no intention of contacting those angels, based on the circumstances at the time, whether Zhou Tian wanted to contact those angels wasn’t an important matter. The real problem was, those angels didn’t give up pursing the event at that moment, so if Zhou Tian wasn’t planning to escalate the incident, they would proactively come to him if they had any opportunity.
Hence, as long as the angels obtained relevant information at the time, no matter how Zhou Tian tried to hide, those angels would eventually find him.
And clearly, even though Zhou Tian’s actions were very cautious at the time, and he deliberately erased the footprints of his actions, given the circumstances at the time, Zhou Tian trying not to be found by those angels was still an almost impossible task.
