Back then, after Chu Zhengnan learned that the Chu Family Army had been ambushed at the Wuerqin Alliance, he consulted with Chu Yihang and decided to lead three thousand elite soldiers to their rescue. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to save them, but he also received news that Chu Yihang's entire army had been wiped out. Without stopping to rest, Chu Zhengnan raced from the Wuerqin Alliance to the Daganru League, only to be trapped at Molang Mountain before he ever had a chance to reunite with Chu Yihang’s forces.
"Thinking back on that battle now, it truly leaves one feeling desolate," Chu Yihang would say, his voice still heavy with exhaustion whenever the subject came up.
Chu Zhengnan sighed. "It wasn't just desolation. It was, in truth, despair."
