Soon, after surveying the general situation within the sect, Li Yan returned to his residence.
Inside his cultivation chamber, Li Yan thought rapidly, piecing together what he had just witnessed and the information he had obtained earlier.
According to the information I gathered before, the sect has twenty-one Void Refinement experts in total. This is the foundation the sect has accumulated.
Apart from the sect master and the three Void Refinement elders of the guard army, the rest are divided among the three halls, leaving only five or six elders in each.
Originally, the Soul Suppressing Palace had more Void Refinement experts than this, but quite a few left long ago to establish their own sects or aristocratic clans.
With others passing away in meditation or dying for various reasons, only this many experts remain.
Only eight Void Refinement experts appeared at the solitary peak earlier. There were also five rebels, three of whom died, leaving sixteen.
But in a battle between experts of that level, with three rebel Void Refinement experts dead, the Soul Suppressing Palace couldn't possibly have escaped unscathed. Losing one or two Void Refinement experts would be perfectly normal.
The remaining Void Refinement experts include those who have already died, those who are injured, those who went out last night to deploy defenses against the encirclement, and even those still in closed-door seclusion.
By that reckoning, the Soul Suppressing Palace probably has twelve or thirteen Void Refinement cultivators left.
And those nine powers are all top-tier forces here. Some of their sects have more than one Void Refinement cultivator.
Adding Xiong Tianba and the other fugitive, the enemy may well have more Void Refinement cultivators than the Soul Suppressing Palace...
Li Yan rapidly considered all the information he had gathered, but soon his brow furrowed.
