"Must you be so shocked that the Evil Soul was killed?" Bai Shuihuang watched them, a flash of killing intent in her beautiful eyes. If not for her fear of immediately starting a war with the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, she would have struck at once and killed Ming Chen right then and there.
Bai Shuihuang's cultivation was far superior to Ming Chen's, so killing him wouldn't have been an issue. The truly terrifying part, however, was the faction backing him!
They needed to dismantle them piece by piece. By the time the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom realized what was happening, more than half of their strength would be gone. Starting a war then would undoubtedly be much easier.
A passive defense was inferior to launching a direct, forceful assault and showing them the might of the Phoenix Race.
