At this point, Su Nian said, "The Xuanyuan clan is the wealthiest family in the Immortal Realm. However, after Xuanyuan Wuji seized power, the clan suffered a devastating blow. I have carefully thought about the reasons for this—why would the Four Emperors target the Xuanyuan clan, knowing full well that once Xuanyuan Wuji reached the Emperor level, he would certainly retaliate? They chose to strike at that very moment nonetheless."
"In fact, their goal was largely to kill off as many of Xuanyuan Wuji’s capable subordinates as possible," Su Nian explained.
"Even though he ascended to the Emperor level, a single expert—even upon entering the Central Immortal Realm—cannot contend with the four of them in the short term because there is no one left to assist him," Su Nian added.
