At the Long Bang headquarters, Zhan Beige slapped his forehead and ordered his forces to press the advantage. The three hall masters—White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird—moved in with overwhelming force. Wei Yidao was running around in a panic, but Zhang Qilin offered no response for a long time.

Zhang Qilin had no choice. The Zhan family weighed upon him like a towering mountain, leaving him gasping for breath.
