Panic gripped the crowd, as the crisis before them far exceeded their capacity to handle. The enemy's strength vastly surpassed their expectations, and a direct confrontation right now would lead to unimaginable consequences. Gathering her courage, Mao Xiaohua walked toward Lěng Yè's room.
"I'll go ask him and see how things are," Mao Xiaohua said with determination. Zhuge Lin followed closely behind and asked uneasily, "What if we disturb him?" Mao Xiaohua shook her head and replied, "He told me I could look for him anytime if there was an emergency. Besides, he said that breaking through with the Divine Fire doesn't require his undivided attention; the whole process is just about nurturing the Divine Fire."
Arriving outside the door, Mao Xiaohua was already covered in cold sweat. She knocked gently and asked in a soft voice, "Lěng Yè, how are you doing in there? Can you come out now?" A moment later, Lěng Yè's voice came from inside: "Almost, wait a little longer and I'll finish the breakthrough!" Hearing this, a joyful smile appeared on Mao Xiaohua's face, but it instantly turned serious again as she said, "However, I have some bad news for you. The Lěng family army outside the city has already begun their attack. They don't seem to plan on wasting time—their siege beasts have already assembled and are about to launch a full-scale assault."
