"Oh, they retreated?"
Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised, yet it felt expected.
He had just taken Jiangzhou State, and even the three Primordial Spirits, including Huo Yuqing, a Peak Monarch from Dragon Sparrow Manor, had been defeated by their side. Without fully understanding their capabilities, these forces naturally dared not act rashly.
Even if they did grasp the full situation of Lingxiao City, whether they would take action remained an unknown.
Lizhou State had six Monarchs, and when added to the Eastern Sea Islands, the number of Monarchs totaled twelve.
That amounted to the lineup of eighteen Monarchs.
This was a power that only those Sects wielding Divine Weapons could possess.
But, these eighteen great Monarchs each fought their own battles and were far from united.
Unless a powerful figure emerged who could command their respect, their actual influence would still be less than that of a top-tier power.
"They actually retreated."
