“Forget it, you can learn it later. It shouldn’t really take long for you.” Ye Chengtian was a bit speechless, this situation was truly hard to blame on anyone.

And right now, there was no time to worry about that. They couldn’t force Ye Lang to learn now while they were on the run after all. Moreover, looking at the circumstances, Ye Lang wouldn’t think he needed to learn either. If you tried to convince him, then even if you tried for a year you still wouldn’t succeed!

“We’ll talk about this later! Sis, come back here for a bit! Mom, grandmother, you come as well!” Ye Lang put his telescope down and spoke.

“What is it?” Ye Lanyu wasn’t far from Ye Lang originally, so she was able to come over quickly. Long Anqi and Yuan Lian Er also came over very quickly.

“Grandmother, use your magic and spread a layer of water over the ground behind us. Mom and sis, freeze the water, the more area you can cover the better, remember not to let them see you!” Ye Lang said.

After he spoke, everybody understood his intentions. He wanted to use ice to freeze the ground over and cause chaos in the ranks of the pursuers, obstructing their pursuit.

Although this tactic was very simple, it was definitely effective!

However, Ye Lanyu didn’t understand one point: “Why do you need grandmother, we can directly freeze the ground.”

“This is to create the maximum effect, you can’t do much by yourself otherwise, stupid sis!” Ye Lang impolitely retorted.

“You dare to call me stupid! See if I punish you!” Ye Lanyu extended her small fist and threatened.

“I won’t speak!” Ye Lang very wisely chose silence.

“Hmph!”

After Ye Lanyu harrumphed, she started working together with her mother and grandmother, freezing the ground behind them. Under Ye Lang’s instruction, they created sections of ice behind them, icing a section over, then stopping for a bit. Sometimes the instructions were very precise. and at the end. he just let them do as they liked and ice over sections randomly.

This way, they could confuse the pursuers and better stall for time. Ideally, they would completely stop their pursuers!

This idea worked very well and caused chaos in the ranks of the pursuing soldiers to the extent where they had no way to continue chasing them. Handling the frozen ground took a long time, they could only use fire magic to open the way, but afterwards, the ground would become wet and also give them difficulty.

By the time they had gotten through, Ye Lang and company had shaken them off long ago. However, this was the Soaring Sky Empire’s territory, so even if the soldiers were no longer chasing them from behind, there were definitely many soldiers waiting in ambush ahead.

If they were obstructed by them, then those behind would definitely catch up. Therefore, Ye Lang and company found themselves in difficult circumstances and now faced a choice.

“As things are right now, we make too big of a target. It’s best if we split up and then regroup at the Vermillion Bird Empire!” Ye Chengtian pointed out.

“That sounds good! But if we do that, our strength will be reduced and it might be even harder to escape!” Ye Lang desired to maintain the status quo.

If it was only the experts of the Ye family, then splitting up was the best choice, but right now, the situation was different. The people running away were not few in number, and among them were some who were weak and even some who were ordinary people. If they were to split up, it was certain that the least amount of people that would be captured would be just under half of them.

Although there were times when warriors had to choose to sacrifice their arms and sacrifice a few to save the many, at this time, such a sacrifice wasn’t necessary!

“Then what do you propose we do?” Ye Chengtian asked. To those present, Ye Lang was someone they all had faith in. The fact that he was able to help them all get away safely was a testament to his abilities.

Although all of them were also worried that Ye Lang would suddenly become muddled, thankfully Ye Lang hadn’t messed up anything big yet, so they could still trust him!
