Zhenjiang City was, after all, a prefectural city of Great Xia, located deep within the territory of the Human Race.
As long as they could delay the Netherworld's progress for a little while, there would soon be powerful cultivators of the Human Race receiving the news and coming to the rescue, thus foiling the Netherworld's scheme.
