He was worried that casting the Death Flame Phoenix, a Spirit Manipulation Technique, would be interrupted.
After all, the preparatory motions for this Spirit Manipulation Technique were a bit too lengthy.
So, for safety's sake, this was the only thing he could do.
Xiao Zhan adjusted his breath, ready to make a move.
The seventeen people also struck poses, ready to defend.
But just at this moment, Xiao Zhan heard a voice coming through, "Brother-in-law, I'm here to help you!"
It was Ye Ajian.
"What are you doing here? Go back and protect them."
"They're already under big brother's protection; you're injured, so I'll help you. I see you're not having an easy time dealing with these guys."
During the conversation, Ye Ajian had already reached Xiao Zhan's side.
Xiao Zhan wanted to continue telling him to go back, but the pain coming from his arm, and the posture of these seventeen people made him hesitate for a moment. He decided to let him stay and help.
