The Outer Realm Cultivators had come in full force, expecting to easily crush the defenses at Beast Soul Valley and enter the Beast Soul Realm. But they hadn't expected the elite squad led by Feng Lingzi and the others to inflict such heavy losses. They no longer had the strength to attack Beast Soul Valley, and wisely chose to retreat.
Feng Lingzi and the others didn't send anyone to pursue them while they were on the run. This left everyone from the God Realm bewildered, but soon they began worrying about the retreating Outer Realm Cultivators. Even these "beaten remnants" could threaten the major factions of the God Realm, and might even threaten the nine superpowers.
For that very reason, many experts from the major factions of the God Realm withdrew from Beast Soul Valley and returned to guard their sects. Before long, only cultivators from Fengyun Pavilion, Lingxiao Pavilion, Soul Severing Cliff, and a few Rogue Cultivators remained. This was exactly what Old Man Ling and the others wanted to see.
There was no shortage of clever people in the God Realm. They soon realized why Fengyun Pavilion had made this move, and people from the major factions cursed them under their breath. But there wasn't much they could do about it. Fengyun Pavilion had enough strength to deal with the Outer Realm Cultivators without being tied down by them, while the other factions were different: most of their experts would be forced to stay occupied.
