Jia Yan reached his conclusion after gradually understanding many Star River level feats.
Although there are some exceptions, most of the Star River level powerhouses are skilled at self-preservation, and this is absolutely unquestionable.
Hence, he pondered whether he possesses something the assassin desires, or something that makes it worthwhile for the assassin to risk a desperate battle with him.
"The other three Star River level beings might have been deceived by him with some sweet talk, which is evident from their quick retreat from war with me and even discussing compensation; this shows they just wanted to take advantage of my pre-promotion status. Perhaps the assassin promised them many benefits, hence their actions. Therefore, there's no doubt they know something."
"Then the assassin... does he covet my Yin Yang Path? I believe the most valuable thing I possess is this self-created Yin Yang Path... but that doesn't quite make sense."
