Duobao Daoren sneered and said, "The members of Chanjiao are truly arrogant beyond measure. Since they want to fight, then let us fight! Pass down the order: the entire army is to prepare for battle and meet the challenge of Chanjiao!"
Wen Zhong also nodded and said, "Senior Brother Duobao's words are spot on. How could we, the disciples of Jiejiao, ever fear Chanjiao? This battle will surely let those of Chanjiao know our true power! Senior brothers and uncles, rest assured—Great Shang will not drop the ball on the mortal battlefield."
Thus, spurred by the battle challenge, the Jiejiao disciples and Great Shang soldiers inside Jiameng Pass began making intensive preparations for battle. They reinforced their defensive lines and adjusted their tactics, getting ready to face the impending conflict.
