It seemed the people on this side had also noticed the commotion among the Demon Spirit Masters. Or perhaps everyone else was beginning to grow impatient too. This time, the Orthodox Spirit Masters had obtained two keys, while the Demon Spirit Masters had obtained four.
Including the key bearers, only twenty-two Orthodox Spirit Masters could enter, whereas forty-four Demon Spirit Masters could enter the ruins. Now, counting the key in Huo Hai's hands and Huo Hai himself, their side could admit only twenty-nine people. The Demon Spirit Masters, however, could admit forty-eight-already more than one and a half times their number.
The Demon Spirit Masters were naturally excited and impatient. Yun Yihan said calmly, "All right, take your key up to the altar and toss it in. We'll discuss what comes next with them."
Huo Hai nodded. He had thought his strength was fairly decent, but now, in this place, he realized he was still far too weak. Against an expert at the peak Spirit General Realm, he had only a sliver of ability to protect himself.
If he faced an expert at the Spirit Marshal Realm, Huo Hai was certain he would be killed instantly. It was not that his cultivation was insufficient; it was simply that his Spirit Insects had not undergone metamorphosis. Since he relied on Spirit Insects as his main means of fighting, without enough time to build up their strength, even a breakthrough would not improve his own combat power much. Huo Hai felt rather frustrated.
*Had I known it would be like this, I should have hidden away for a while and waited until all my insects had undergone a metamorphosis. At least I wouldn't be completely powerless to resist, like I am now. Even if Little Gold woke up now, it wouldn't help
