This mournful expression is not for the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor, but for themselves.
Because they know what lies ahead is a tough battle.
The Emperor of the Dead observed, took a deep breath, and said, "From now on, we should not take any action, because any move will only give Qin An an opportunity. Understand?"
"Understand."
Of course, they all understood.
The previous attempts to eliminate Qin An inadvertently provided Qin An a chance to slowly erode their own strength.
Even the powerful Ancestral Mechanical Emperor took action against Qin An.
But when he became isolated, he too met his end by Qin An's hand.
Thus they knew that the most crucial thing now is to maintain their current state and not continue thinking about how to deal with Qin An.
If they keep trying to do so, it might lead to further casualties among their ranks.
With this thought, they all nodded, evidently agreeing with the Emperor of the Dead's viewpoint.
