As the war continued, the Vast Earth Empire gradually discovered that the Medicine King Sect's current potential for war was absolutely beyond anything the Vast Earth Empire could compare with. Though the Vast Earth Empire was an empire, the Imperial Family's strength was not overwhelmingly absolute.
In such dangerous matters, many Sects were unwilling to send their own disciples to their deaths. Even if they were skeletons, the Vast Earth Empire had to pay a certain price to use them. On the surface, the Vast Earth Empire appeared powerful, but once it was dragged into this war of attrition, it slowly began to show signs of weakness. No one knew how long it could hold out.
Though the major Sects and Lineages within the country knew that if the Vast Earth Empire fell, they would not meet a good end either, so long as the Vast Earth Empire had not fallen, these people could not change their habit of scheming and fighting among themselves.
The Vast Earth Empire's Imperial Family had been run ragged by these matters and had no time at all to deal with Huo Hai. The ruler even repeatedly dispatched envoys, asking Huo Hai for help and requesting that he send out the Skeleton Army to restrain the Medicine King Sect.
Huo Hai merely sneered at this. He publicly claimed that he was injured and refused to take the initiative to send troops. "You hunted me down for so long before. Didn't you enjoy sitting back and watching the show some time ago? And now you want me to help? What wishful thinking." Huo Hai did not care in the slightest. He knew that the Vast Earth Empire had definitely not used its full strength, or things would not have reached this point.
