The events unfolded so suddenly.
Just as the group, believing they had found nothing, lowered their guard, the enemy reappeared. Even though they had searched the wrong courtyard, the enemy seemed unusually concerned with the issue of "respect," and, unable to tolerate the two pursuits by the county magistrate, jumped out on their own.
Instead of fleeing, they chose to attack, as if to prove something.
It was somewhat amusing, somewhat unbelievable, yet not entirely unusual.
Whether demons or cultivators, violent tempers resulting from cultivation were commonplace.
Furthermore, the suddenness of the event lay in the fact that this guy, who had initially fled, displayed overwhelming strength the moment he made his move!
Du Yi had just screamed, presumably ambushed.
