Ju Zi had achieved her goal, and even felt a surge of joy in her heart. With Huo Yuhao's help in killing these Evil Soul Masters and driving away Zhongli Wu, her plan was successfully completed. And what did it matter if she didn't attack Shrek City and simply retreated? "Secure the interior before repelling external aggressors," this logic was crystal clear to Ju Zi.
However, her delight was short-lived, quickly overtaken by growing concerns. Because Huo Yuhao was too strong!
Ju Zi's understanding of Huo Yuhao far surpassed that of the level 9 Soul Masters around her. His display of such power at this moment was definitely not good news.
Although Ju Zi knew that Huo Yuhao had been the one to destroy a considerable number of the Sun Moon Empire's high-altitude soul detectors all along, he had been doing it covertly, and most people, including the Empire's higher-ups, were unaware of his existence.
