At this thought, Xiao Yan could not help turning his gaze toward Zhukun and the others.
Zhukun, Soul Heavenly Emperor, Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying had intercepted the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's four peak experts that day. Logically, even Yan Jin and Lei Ying together should never have been a match for a Nine-Star Dou Saint Peak expert. Back in the Soul Clan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Xiao Yan had barely fought Gu Yuan to a standstill with all three of them giving their utmost. Yet today, without Xiao Yan, the two had actually held out.
Xiao Yan could not help wondering, Could all of this also be because the Extraterritorial Evil Clan hasn't grown accustomed to its own power?
Before long, Zhukun came over to Xiao Yan and immediately brought up the strange events at the end. "Xiao Yan, you have the most experience with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. Did you notice anything at the end?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. "Uncle Zhukun, do you mean their retreat at the end?"
Zhukun nodded. "Yes. To tell you the truth, although they retreated, something about it still strikes me as extremely suspicious."
Xiao Yan told Zhukun the conjecture he had just formed, but the latter shook his head without hesitation. "Every one of those four was at least as strong as I am. There is absolutely no way they lacked experience. But the longer we fought, the more they seemed subtly ill at ease. At the time, I thought it was a ploy to lure us in. Looking at it now, that was probably why they left in such a hurry. There must be a more important reason behind what happened today. Unfortunately, with our current intelligence, we have no way of knowing..."
Zhukun's words made Xiao Yan realize
