Wang Wei had a pondering look. "Don't you feel that something is wrong about these attackers?"
"The assembly was the perfect setting for an attack," Yan Hai nodded. "With such a terrible curse, they could have eliminated at least 20% of the top powerhouses attending, forcing them to reincarnate."
"You're being conservative. As long as they act quickly enough before Maitreya could react, at least 50% of the people attending would have been corrupted," Wang Wei said.
"And you're underestimating how much experience the people in that room have."
"My point is: why wait now to attack? Only a few people left the event, and more importantly, Maitreya is now the court's official Saint, probably making her more powerful," Wang Wei continued.
"Maybe they couldn't enter?" Yan Hai replied. "Ying Zheng might have erected the Great Wall out of paranoia, but it proved to be useful on this occasion."
