The Twelve Heavenly Guards had been plotting to cut off the Dragon Clan experts' escape route and wear them to death. In theory, there was nothing wrong with that tactic. In practice, the problems were considerable...

Had anyone ever seen a Daluo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Sage worn to death that way? Of course not. Experts like them held vast reserves of spiritual energy and magical power. Wearing them down would take thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of years.

Then, with Yuan Tian's strength added to theirs, dealing with these experts would be child's play. Besides, they had done it before with the Qilin Clan. They could try it again on the Dragon Clan. By now, they had developed an "understanding" among themselves.

And so the Twelve Heavenly Guards and the Dragon Clan experts fell into a stalemate. The guards could not wear the experts to death, while the experts—well, never mind them.
