Li Chenggui and the others had already recognized the severity of the situation; they deeply understood one principle: Li Erye absolutely could not be harmed, otherwise, the five great families would lose their protection and face complete ruin.
Initially, they hadn't even regarded Ye Fan and the Chu Group as any threat. With Li Erye taking charge, Ye Fan was bound to die. From this perspective, they arrogantly wanted to obliterate the Chu Group and then expand their own benefits.
But now, they realized Ye Fan's prowess, and the Chu Group was not so easily merged. If they couldn't retreat in time, not only would Li Erye die, but the five great families would also face total destruction.
When you can bully, you can be a bit wanton, but once you've kicked a rock, it's time to think about selecting the right retreat path.
If they don't retreat now and continue to act harshly, they will definitely meet a dire end.
