Sharp's death was a surprise to the leadership of both the Xuan Empire and the Eternal United States.
What was supposed to be a sure thing had turned into this mess.
Normally, the next step would be to suppress Qi Suian, just as they had the Survivors.
But Qi Suian was different from the Survivors. He was a single person, not a group.
More importantly, Qi Suian had immediately turned around and launched an attack on the Eternal United States. This made the Xuan Empire, which had been preparing to make a move, halt its actions at once.
They were more than happy to watch two of their enemies kill each other rather than get their own hands dirty.
This was also one of Qi Suian's methods for mitigating the danger. If he remained on the battlefield, he would be attacked by both sides.
So he changed his thinking. Rather than face that, he might as well pick one of them and beat them to death.
