The Small Abandoned Temple

I wonder what that person meant with only the East Sea Army being dispatched to deal with the illusory beasts alone is true…

Watching as the flying ship disappeared as fast as it had appeared, Xuan Hao could not help feeling curious about what the man from the East Sea Army had said before he left with the rest. After all, even if the people on the flying ship were powerful and there were around a dozen Earth Immortal Realm Experts present, it was far from enough to deal with the close to hundred Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts.

Could it perhaps be that Chu Li isn't the only person being targeted by someone in the East Sea Army, but instead that the entire army has been targeted by someone and they are currently trying to use the illusory beasts as a way to suppress and possible kill them?
