Fairy Hua listened to Xiao Yan's explanation, but her tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all. "Even if that is truly the case, it can only prove that they would be unable to summon reinforcements for this surprise attack. But what if they had intended to lure us in from the very beginning, with enough powerful experts already stationed within the Spirit Clan?"
"Even excluding their two strongest experts, the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are undoubtedly still stronger than us."
In truth, Fairy Hua had already put it quite tactfully. Xiao Yan himself understood even more clearly that, aside from Soul Heavenly Emperor and Gu Yuan, the Soul Clan also had that mysterious Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert who possessed the Nihility Devouring Flame. That man alone could tie down Yan Jin, their strongest fighter. The combined strength of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan was, without dispute, the number one force on the continent today!
What Fairy Hua said was also the deep concern in everyone's hearts. If the Spirit Clan summoned reinforcements, it would be easier to handle; at worst, they could retreat swiftly. With Nine-Star Dou Sheng experts holding the line, they would not suffer too many losses.
But if the Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, and Spirit Clan had been targeting them from the outset and had laid a net across heaven and earth in advance, then charging in headfirst would truly be a situation of certain death.
Yan Jin analyzed, "To be honest, I think it is unlikely that the Soul Clan, Ancient Clan, and Spirit Clan are targeting us. First, they most likely do not yet know the exact strength of our alliance. Our actions have moved too quickly, so they probably only know that we are preparing to form an alliance.
