Usually, there would only be three Sage Tier Mages at most guarding the core—both sides had an agreement, and sometimes, there would only be one.

Lin Ming was their only hope of breaking through the Sage Tier. They couldn't miss their chance and await the cessation of their lives. They must protect Lin Ming at all costs.
