However, even up to the end of the battle, Lu Ou did not summon the higher devil he had contracted.
It seemed that Lu Ou had still intentionally hidden his power during the battle.
The Moon Empress seemed to read Lin Yuan's thoughts as she smiled at him and explained, "Little Yuan, Lu Ou did not hide his power. He chose to rely on Qian Yu during the battle. Given that Qian Yu had an 8 Stars sacred source lifeform, it was right for Lu Ou to depend on him. Lu Ou had transferred all of his higher devil's roots' energy to Qian Yu. Even if he had summoned the higher devil, it would not have had much combat power left.
