Some time had passed since the second wave of Nine Nether Nether Soldiers had surrounded Chi Xue and the others. After obtaining a large supply of bronze arrowheads and using Entity Arrows to attack, Chi Xue and the others had managed to suppress the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers. At the very least, they could keep them at a distance, meaning the soldiers could no longer threaten or wear them down. Under these circumstances, sending over even more soldiers would be pointless. It would only let Xiao Shi and the others capture more of them, leaving the Lord of the Universe with fewer "attack dogs" later.
The Lord of the Universe surely knew that withdrawing the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers was the wisest choice. Yet he had not done so, leaving Chi Xue and the others baffled.
