Both sides were resting, and the leaders of the Tongtian Sect and Yuanshi Celestial Venerable along with Empress Nuwa were the most exhausted, yet blocking Haotian and the Wu Tian from the Shamanic Tribe also significantly drained several of their members.
Only then did they realize the gap between themselves and these Quasi-Saints of the Demon Clan. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, the battle was still tremendously difficult, and they even felt slightly overwhelmed.
If it hadn't been for Daoist Jieyin facing two opponents alone and holding back the Black Cloth and White Robed Protectors, they would likely have been defeated by now.
Not to mention killing one, even preserving themselves seemed to be quite difficult.
But now, with the addition of six Quasi-Saints including the Phoenix, the increase in numbers might lead to a significant change, possibly enabling them to capture all of their enemies.
