As the Youbear Tribe made preparations for war, the Emperor Yan's forces were suffering consecutive defeats in their campaign against Chiyou. This was because seven Daluo Golden Immortals within the Jiang clan had been pinned down by eighty-one physical-body-cultivating warriors from the Jiuli tribe, leaving them unable to rush to the battlefield in time.
Leading the rest of his people, Chiyou advanced like a hot knife through butter, pushing to within a thousand li of the Jiang clan. Just as the Jiang clan faced imminent defeat, Xuanyuan unexpectedly dispatched his daughter, who rushed to the scene leading an advance force of tens of thousands.
Caught in a pincer movement from both sides, Chiyou's million-strong army was temporarily forced into retreat. Yet as Emperor Yan watched Chiyou's troops execute an orderly withdrawal, his face showed no trace of joy. After instructing those around him to reorganize and prepare for battle, Emperor Yan stepped forward to welcome Nüba, the daughter of the Emperor.
