Guards rushed to put out the fire, but it was already too late. The raging flames spread rapidly, swallowing the mountain of supplies whole. Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Zhizhi and the others slipped out of the base, rendezvoused with Yin Sichen's group, and made a swift getaway. Towering flames and billowing black smoke engulfed the base, visible clearly even from dozens of miles away. Upon receiving the news, the Commander of the Celestial Demon Realm flew into a rage and immediately dispatched a massive force to hunt down Qin Zhizhi and her companions.
"Damn it! These despicable ants actually dare to destroy my supply base! I will tear them limb from limb!" the Commander of the Celestial Demon Realm roared repeatedly. Qin Zhizhi and the others fled all the way while the Celestial Demon army pursued them relentlessly, turning the chase into a fierce and desperate running battle. The blazing inferno painted half the sky red, and the towering plumes of smoke seemed to mock the impotent fury of the Celestial Demon army. Qin Zhizhi and her group ran for their lives, pursued by deafening roars and a tide of enemies.
"Zhizhi, we can't keep going like this! We're going to be caught!" Yin Sichen shouted anxiously while swinging his sword to beat back the attacking pursuers.
