In fact, even at this point, Li Yan still had not understood the true reason "Return Home" had established branch offices across the various continents.
In his mind, it was merely a super merchant alliance, selling goods across a broad range simply to reap greater profits.
From Su Hong's question, he guessed that her ability to leave before the great war meant she must have received quite a bit of information from the Devil Race and sensed that she could no longer remain on the Desolate Moon Continent, which was why she had departed early.
Li Yan thereby caught even more clues. The power backing "Return Home" was immensely formidable.
They had obtained information that even the Four Great Sects had failed to acquire ahead of time—or perhaps, after piecing together countless circumstances, they had analyzed the terrifying outcome.
