Lin Tian sensed that Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang were about to flee, and Wang Wu and the others also noticed it.
Therefore, they asked Lin Tian:
"Great General, Xiang Yan is about to flee. Should we pursue them?"
"No need to pursue for now, let them run for a while! I want to chase them to their lair!!"
"Lair?"
"The Xiang clan is a powerful family. If we cannot eliminate them, it will be a great threat to our Qin!"
Xiang Yu's combat power was truly immense; ordinary people were no match for him.
Coupled with his Overlord's demeanor, his personal charisma was very high.
Lin Tian greatly admired Xiang Yu.
However, he was currently the Prince of Great Qin, and in the future, he would be the King of Great Qin. No matter how much he admired Xiang Yu, he would not spare him.
Therefore, he intended to wait until Xiang Yan fled to the location of the Xiang clan, and then round them all up.
Xiang Yan was unaware of Lin Tian's intentions. If he had known, perhaps he would not have fled.
He knew Lin Tian's power. Once Lin Tian discovered the Xiang clan, they might face the danger of annihilation.
At this moment, Xiang Yan was fleeing, constantly observing his rear as he ran.
"Great General, they are not pursuing us! The Qin army is not chasing!"
"Hmph! It's good that they aren't pursuing us. As long as they aren't, we still have a chance to survive. If they had pursued us recklessly, then we would truly be finished!"
"Alas! It's a pity for those soldiers. If only they could have escaped with us!"
Xiang Yan felt great pity for the soldiers surrounded by Lin Tian's army.
If those armies had escaped with him, they would have a force to counterattack Qin at any time.
Without those armies, it might take a long time to counterattack Qin.
Therefore, Xiang Yan wished he could have taken all those surrounded soldiers with him.
However, in the current situation, he could only save his own life and temporarily disregard the surrounded soldiers.
The other soldiers heard Xiang Yan's words and felt a mix of emotion and urgency.
"Great General, leaving them there was to delay us!"
"So, we should quickly escape from here, leave this dangerous place, and not let the soldiers' sacrifices be in vain!"
"You are right. Our most important task now is to escape from here. Let's go!"
After speaking, Xiang Yan could no longer afford to lament. He immediately led his soldiers and fled rapidly.
They fled for two days.
For two days, Xiang Yan dared not stop, nor did his soldiers.
They fled for their lives, fearing that Lin Tian's army would catch up.
Only after two days did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This was because, by then, they could no longer see any trace of Lin Tian's army.
"Hmph! We finally survived. I almost thought we wouldn't escape!"
"Indeed! The Qin army is too terrifying. Their troops are everywhere. They are completely occupying our Chu!"
"Alas! Our Chu has lost its momentum. Now, we can only flee from here, find a safe place, and slowly accumulate strength!"
During their escape, the Chu soldiers had gained some understanding of Chu's situation.
They knew that the capital of Chu had been captured by the Qin army, and King Chu had been captured alive by Lin Tian.
Their Chu had lost its destiny.
This caused some soldiers to regret their actions during their escape, regretting that they had not stayed with the soldiers who did not flee, regretting that they had not surrendered.
But now, having followed Xiang Yan in their escape, there was no turning back.
Therefore, they could only follow Xiang Yan to the end.
Fortunately, they had escaped the pursuit of Lin Tian's army, which was a great piece of good news for them.
As long as they could hide, they could survive.
Undeniably, their thoughts were very optimistic. However, they did not know that Qin soldiers were secretly watching them.
These Qin soldiers were not ordinary soldiers, but Iron Eagle Elite soldiers.
Not only were they individually strong, but they also had unique advantages in pursuit.
Just like now, they had been pursuing Xiang Yan and the others, while Xiang Yan and the others were completely unaware.
They thought they were safe, so they let down their guard.
"Let's go, we'll find Yu'er!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Xiang Yan's words, Xiang Liang nodded heavily.
He had longed to see his Xiang clan for a long time.
Now that they were returning, he felt a sense of home.
Especially thinking of his nephew Xiang Yu, he felt an impulse to join Xiang Yan in nurturing Xiang Yu into someone as powerful as Lin Tian.
That person who could kill dozens of soldiers with a single sword and was a master of strategy.
On this point, he and Xiang Yan shared the same goal.
Therefore, his desire to return home was very urgent.
However, as soon as they left, Lin Tian received news.
"Great General, they have set off again. Judging by their appearance, they are not fleeing aimlessly, but moving with purpose!"
"Moving with purpose? Then it seems I can set off!"
Hearing that Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang were moving with purpose, Lin Tian felt that they were heading home, preparing to find Xiang Yu.
Since that was the case, he had to set off as well.
Therefore, Lin Tian mobilized ten thousand troops and pursued the direction where Xiang Yan and the others had left.
During this process, Xiang Yan and the others were completely unaware.
Their escape journey was relatively lighthearted.
Although Chu was on the verge of collapse, at least they had survived, which was good news for them.
So, on their way back, they did not forget to enjoy the scenery along the way.
After walking for a day and a half, Xiang Yan and the others finally stopped.
At this time, they had arrived at the ancestral land of the Xiang clan.
This place was not only inhabited by the members of the Xiang clan but also by many people loyal to the Xiang clan.
Arriving here, they finally felt truly safe.
Therefore, it was only here that they could truly relax.
"We're back, we're finally back!"
"This arduous journey has been too difficult, and witnessing everything in Chu has been too exhausting!"
"It's alright. As long as our people are still here, as long as our hearts are united, we can start anew, we can rise again, and rebuild Chu!"
Only upon reaching this place did Xiang Yan truly display his ambition.
He also believed that his Xiang clan could achieve this.
Therefore, he was eager to see Xiang Yu, eager to see the hope of their Xiang clan.
