Lu Mingyuan asked, "The force that killed Mr. Qi—wasn't it the one led by the Great Nether Empress?"
Li Exi shook her head. "No, the Great Nether Empress has been on the main front the entire time. The other passes along the Great Wall are defended by the Court's other Great Wall Guards. Yu Yang Pass, where the Blood Race broke through, is a minor, less significant pass that was lightly defended. That flank was under the control of a Blood Race tribe from the Underworld."
"Your Highness, you may not be aware, but while the Holy Netherworld appears to be led by the Great Nether Court, it's actually dominated by the Cultivators of the Ten Underworld Races. The Ten Races each fight for themselves and have their own command structures."
Lu Mingyuan was well aware of this.
He had participated in the great war between the two worlds during his second life.
