The New Qin Empire had not withdrawn its troops, nor was it possible for them to do so!
The war had been raging for several years, and both sides had invested immense manpower and resources. If they were to stop, one side would have to surrender.
However, the Five Nations Alliance also had many powerful experts backing them. This forced the Cui Family's powerhouses, who had originally wanted to join the fight, to temporarily suppress the idea.
An expert backing the Great Chu Kingdom, one of the members of the Five Nations Alliance, had put it well: "Wars in the Mortal Realm should be resolved by the methods of the Mortal Realm. For Martial Artists from the Mysterious Lands to participate is, in itself, a gross injustice. Do you think you're the only ones with a Mysterious Land backing you?"
