"Cough, cough. No wonder that monster Xuanming personally stood guard here."

According to him, Xuanming had been the Holy Son of the Kun Peng Race from Jiang Shu's generation, a figure destined to succeed the Kun Peng Race's ancestor. His strength was exceedingly formidable.
Now that the Human Race's morale was at its peak following Jiang Shu's return, the Desolate Silent Sand Sea would surely be their first target. Yet Xuanming had still come here despite the enormous risk. This showed that the Demon Race certainly had plans of its own.
The Demon Race had not completely abandoned the Desolate Silent Sand Sea. They knew that holding it by force might lead to devastating losses.
By leaving behind an empty shell, they could delay the Human Race's efforts to clear and stabilize the area, drain its strength, and keep the Array Eye's core concealed elsewhere.
