When the incident occurred in the Ninth Base City, Vice President Brown of the Longevity Association was locked in an intense battle with Li Xianglong in outer space near the Eighth Base City.
Brown knew he was no match for Li Xianglong, not even close to being able to withstand ten exchanges.
During the battle in the underground mine several months ago, if he hadn't used the Purgatory Prince to block the blow, he would have nearly been hunted down to the brink of desperation by Li Xianglong.
The injuries he sustained in that fight have yet to fully heal.
Thus, before this battle, Brown had made every possible effort to mobilize resources: not only did he enlist two Divine Envoy Level elites from the Longevity Association, but he also assembled eight Nine Realms Emperor-level elites clad in exoskeleton armor to conceal their identities and assist in the fight.
