It was clear the three were orthodox successors of the nine major sects, secretly competing, and contesting to slay demons.
The strength of these three was evidently far superior to those injured and trapped on the mountain, superior to the extent that while fending off hundreds of demon attacks, they could still sense Iron Egg hiding outside. Their Divine Sense scanned the area, observing secretly with malintent. Thus, they all sent out their magic treasures and talismans, casting an additional protective spell to guard against a Primordial Spirit curse attack!
Seeing this, Iron Egg understood. He knew this calamity was a dead-end for the group trapped on the mountain, but for these three, it was more than manageable. They likely each held a lifesaving trump card bestowed by their sects. By holding their ground now, they might be waiting for the blizzard to mask their movements and find an opportunity to break through the demon encirclement.
