Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong issued a strict order: in this battle, every item belonging to the Yan army in Xuhai City—including weapons, armor, and, needless to say, storage bags—must be collected to be repurposed as military assets. Only after the bodies of the Yan soldiers had been thoroughly stripped of everything were they allowed to be consumed by the spirit beasts.
In less than an hour, from the moment the Yan army discovered the ambush—which appeared to be the work of the Shadow Guard—to the point where all enemy forces on the city walls and throughout the city, except for those at the East Gate, had been cleared out, the operation moved with incredible speed. Naturally, the most intense fighting took place at the East Gate of Xuhai City.
Without needing direct commands from Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong, Wu Tian and Wang Jie led the pursuit with everything they had. Zhao Huaide and Zhao Huaiyu, the two brothers, stood in formation at the East Gate with the Great Martial Master members of the Yan Army Guard, expecting the Shadow Guard Deputy Commander Ye Xingchen to launch a solo assault once more. To their disappointment, however, the real Shadow Guard had finally arrived.
