As they raced along on the snail, Li Shuangyan couldn't help but ask, "How did you know Wu's Ancestor would see the flaw in your plan and chase after us? As an Earth Immortal, isn't he just like the Treasure Lords? Don't they rarely emerge into the world?"
"That was misdirection," Li Qiye said. "Our ancestor worship ceremony was virtually flawless, so Wu's Ancestor wouldn't have discovered we were impostors. However, the 'lion's pounce' I performed as I left was a different story. If he has a moment to reflect on it, he'll become suspicious. And once he realizes we're fleeing toward the Overlord Immortal Lion King's burial site, he'll be certain we have a major connection to him!"
