Since they wanted to withdraw from this great war, the Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan naturally could not pull out alone. The other three phoenix clans would never agree to that—how could they let one clan alone preserve itself?
Ming Qi had also guessed that the gray-robed elder's plan definitely required the other three clans to cooperate as well, leaving the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan unable to refute it.
Ming Qi and Ming Yu had already thought of some possibilities. For instance, with the four clans joining forces with the Black Devil Race, they could make the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan suffer a crushing defeat and retreat in the face of difficulty!
After the gray-robed elder had come to know the Black Devil Race powerhouse, the two women truly felt that their previously abrupt request might actually have some chance of being realized.
They had not doubted Li Yan's true purpose in suddenly arriving, because inviting Li Yan to their clan in the Jieyou Realm had been their own suggestion from the start.
Moreover, it had been Ming Yu who had just asked him to lend a hand. Li Yan had shown no unusual behavior whatsoever throughout all this.
Nor had Li Yan appeared here the moment this war began. He had only arrived after they and the Black Devil Race had been fighting for some time.
If Ming Qi could think that Li Yan might have come as an envoy sent by the Black Devil Race, then the Black Devil Race would not have made such a low-level mistake. They would certainly have sent someone immediately.
They would not have waited until both sides had lost a pile of people and forged enmity through blood before sending someone over. That would have completely missed the best opportunity.
