Seeing a large number of Sorcerers rushing toward them, smart individuals like Chen Lingyun, Su Yunjin, or Li Minghu had already seen through the crux of the situation at a glance.
Sorcerers would arrange for their mortal relatives to manage their territories, so these relatives definitely had a way to contact them, but the Rikoku Cultivators couldn't communicate with these mortals, and the efficiency of intimidation or enticement wouldn't be high.
Therefore, Yan Yu chose to beat people up rather than kill them.
Mortals do not have enough understanding of the Transcendents to judge whether the person beating them up is stronger or weaker than their Sorcerer relatives.
