Without needing Liu Yang to say it, everyone was well aware that the current situation was indeed very unfavorable for the righteous path.

Even without the Dark Yin Bewildering Soul Array, the experts of the Demonic Path were slightly stronger than those of the righteous path in terms of cultivation. With the array's enhancement, they were much stronger.

This was the main reason why the Abstruse Dark Sect chose to confront them head-on and resolve the battle quickly.

The nine disciples rescued from the Top Xuan Sect were indeed elites, including three experts at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. However, they had just survived a life-and-death ordeal, their mana was nearly depleted, and several were injured, severely reducing their strength. It was unrealistic to expect them to be the main fighting force in the upcoming crisis.
