If Chuan Ying ultimately shatters the void and becomes a boundary-breaking state expert, then before shattering the void, he must have been at least a top expert of the Returning to Truth ninth realm.
But how could a top expert of the Returning to Truth ninth realm be chased onto Nine Ridge Mountain by mere tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers led by Si Hanfei during that era?
Of course, it is possible that Chuan Ying at that time did not want to create more bloodshed, and thus deliberately retreated.
However, putting oneself in his shoes, if Chuan Ying was truly a powerhouse of the Returning to Truth ninth realm back then, he wouldn't even need to reach the ninth realm. Even if he possessed strength akin to Jiang Dali, the Mongolian army would not dare chase him. The Mongolian soldiers are known for their "daring bravery," not "dull courage," not foolish enough to blindly seek their own death.
