It is common knowledge that sword cultivators possess the most formidable offensive power in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although Lu Fengge, Bai Zhixuan, and Long Xiang—the three sword immortals—have cultivated for two or three thousand years less than the three Elder Witches, their actual combat strength is not necessarily inferior.
Following the defeat of Wu Xiangshan, onlookers were curious as to why Chen Xuan had not requested help from the three sword immortals. It was understandable that he had not asked Yin Rumei or the various ghost kings, as it was evident to the Taoist sects that they were severely injured. However, that Chen Xuan did not even call upon his own "uncles" was truly baffling. In a sense, the three sword immortals, who revered Dugu Ye as their senior brother, were indeed equivalent to Chen Xuan's uncles.
While the spectators were puzzled by Chen Xuan’s reasoning, the righteous factions considered him extremely foolish. By pinning his hopes for this crucial Daoist struggle on the former enemies of the Great Xia, one wrong move had led to a total collapse. Indeed, to Daoist Earth Immortals like Perfected Xuanhua, Wu Xiangshan’s defeat meant the outcome of this decisive battle was no longer in doubt. The remaining two Elder Witches were undoubtedly destined to fail as well.
