The experts from the Profound Mystery Sect hesitated not because they feared the masters from the Thirteen Nations Alliance, but because of a continental decree: powerful factions were strictly forbidden from wantonly slaughtering weaker ones.
This was the primary reason the Thirteen Nations Alliance, despite its lack of strength, had managed to endure.
If these experts from the Profound Mystery Sect made a move, they could certainly suppress everyone present. However, if word of their actions reached the Dream Realm Plain, where their sect resided, and spread to the supreme Profound Domain...
...their Profound Mystery Sect would likely face severe punishment.
At this thought, the burly man immediately asked, "Elder Gale, what should we do now?"
If they were to act, they had to be prepared to either slaughter everyone present and leave no witnesses, or conceal their identities perfectly to prevent any news from getting out.
