Ye Chen carefully recalled the events of the past few days since leaving Immortal City, and said, "Actually, making me the Alliance Leader might have fallen right into the Dragon Slaying Clan's plot. Their strategy was deep-rooted and even when I had eventually guessed it, they would likely target Heavenly City and ally with the factions of demons and evil spirits. They would probably not anticipate them splitting into separate operations, as it is not usually done that way."
"But eventually, you didn't you predict it?" questioned Li Mo.
"But I was not able to confirm it." Ye Chen continued, "So even if they gave it to me, I would have fallen into the same trap."
"But if Ren Xiongbei had listened to you, Immortal City wouldn't have fallen," Li Mo remarked.
"Ah, discussing this now has no point," he sighed.
Jiang Zhuge stated, "If you had been the Alliance Leader, it might have been a good thing, as they would have had no choice but to follow you."
