Hearing Seven Killers' account, Dong Ye and the others were all astonished by Bei Xuan's strength. Many of them were glad they had followed Seven Killers' advice and held back. Some, however, didn't think much of it. In their minds, with thousands of savage beasts charging straight at them, even an invincible expert would be unable to hold them off.
Seeing what they were thinking, Zhuge Xun shook his head and spoke loudly. "Seven Killers said Ling Tian's strategic mind is no inferior to mine. Do you really think they weren't prepared for us to surround them? Especially when they spotted us before we'd even completed the encirclement."
Wen Yan, Piao Ling froze. Her expression grew grave. "That's right. They could detect us through those Alert Formations, yet they didn't flee or try to break through. They only sent out a few people to scout. So they're waiting for us to attack. They've already laid a trap."
Zhuge Xun smiled and nodded, but said nothing.
"Even if they've laid a trap, surely it can't do anything to us. After all, we have an army of thousands of savage beasts at the Quasi Saint Immortal level." Bei Ming shook his head, clearly skeptical. "I don't believe Bei Xuan can stand against us with only one interface. Under the charge of our savage-beast army, even if they have several invincible experts—"
Only then did Bei Ming realize he'd said something wrong. He glanced at Seven Killers and saw that he was still chatting with Piao Xue. Bei Ming let out a long breath of relief.
"They still haven't completed their soul-crystal-collecting mission, which means they haven't tamed an army of savage beasts like we have." Guan Suo picked up the thread, his tone firm. "There's no way they can withstand our attack."
