Zhai Xing Lou's counterattack begun from that day on.
Yan Luo Dian's multiple attempts at ambush were all thwarted by Zhai Xing Lou, and they suffered heavy losses. Following that, Yan Luo Dian secretly sent a messenger to seek Ji Fengyan at the Heavenly Courts.
"Great queen, my city lord said that the time has come for Heavenly Courts to make their move." The messenger was that very leader who was here previously. Just that he now looked more haggard and sported an additional scar across his face.
The consecutive days of attack weighed heavily on the leader's heart. More than half of the few dozen brothers whom he had visited Heavenly Courts with earlier, had died. The leader hated Zhai Xing Lou to the core and wished to fight to the death with that city.
"So fast?" Ji Fengyan was astounded.
