In the fight tonight, Ye Hongyu chose to attack Zhao Nanhai first, the Hierarch right after, and then immediately the middle-aged priest. Even for her it was an arrogant choice because the three figures were so powerful that she could not possibly defeat any of them. Her arrogance seemed ridiculous or even desperate.
But being who she was, how could Ye Hongyu do something ridiculous? Nor did she ever know what desperation was. Then why did she choose to carry out a series of attacks?
Actually, she never changed her goal ever since the beginning! She was not planning to escape, or did she try to leave the Divine Hall of Judgment. Instead of running away, she simply wanted to trap the middle-aged priest!
She wanted to trade the life of the middle-aged priest with another person's life! It was undoubtedly arrogant or even suicidal. Yet she did so no matter what. She had to save that person's life regardless of her own!
Furthermore, she had the Confinement.
