The river suddenly threw up huge waves, blocking all the arrows from the other side, and damaging their boats and crew.
Suddenly, such a fantastical event occurred, particularly curious given it happened on the river where strange things saved them.
The boatmen could only believe that an immortal was saving them.
The opponents could only think that their boat was burnt and their people injured; the river turned into an ice wall, perhaps they had encountered ghosts in the night.
As everyone on their side had blood on their hands, they simply believed it was ghosts seeking revenge.
They did not think it was an immortal deliberately saving those people and stopped them from committing more misdeeds in the darkness.
"Quick, quick, quick, put out the fire, sail away!"
There would also be an official patrol team in the river, who generally would not specifically come out for inspections unless something major happened.
