"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
Shangguan Wenyin sighed and said, "Originally our plan was more perfect, and he almost certainly wouldn't have been able to escape. But there was a mishap, the news leaked, and we had to launch our attack ahead of schedule."
"Because the attack was launched in haste, many arrangements were not yet in place. Although we ultimately defeated that person, we inevitably left some loopholes and he eventually escaped."
Lin Chen asked worriedly, "The Sea God and the Sect Hierarch, the Sea God must be higher, right?"
Shangguan Wenyin laughed and said, "Yes, under normal circumstances, even if someone successfully usurps power, as long as he holds the Sea God's Seal, he can rightfully command all the followers to fight against the usurper, and the vast majority of followers would too."
