Strengthening the Formation?

"So they did indeed come to test out the strength of the formation…" Having heard everything that the three of them said as the senior among them attacked the chaotic qi formation, Xuan Hao could not help letting out a sigh of relief as he watched them disappearing into the distance. Feeling relieved that he had acted in time to control the chaotic qi formation and make it seem like it was weakening on the outside. Allowing the three to rest easy that the Star Shattering Sect wouldn't be difficult for their lord to deal with.

If he hadn't acted in time or had decided to kill off the three people from the Heavenly Dragon Temple, he might have been able to enjoy peace for the next few years, but he would inevitably end up dealing with a far more troublesome situation after that. Especially considering how important the ruins located on the Fifth Star Peak seemed to be to this lord from the Heavenly Dragon Temple.
