Ming Bei and Luo Hai's plan had failed, forcing them to flee back to Sky Domain City, only to find out that on that very night, Gui Lang had taken over Bishui City.
Upon seeing Ming Bei and the others, Yuan Menhai was somewhat angry, asking, "What happened exactly? Didn't we plan everything out?"
Ming Bei lowered his head, explaining, "We did, but we didn't anticipate a flaw in our strategy that was spotted by Shi Mu. This sycophant also wants the position of the No. One Heroes leader, so he didn't stop us from killing Yang Jing. When we were about to take control of Ghost City, he suddenly surrounded us."
Luo Hai said, "He tricked us, using us to kill Yang Jing to seize the leadership."
"It's a pity about Jue Ming. He couldn't escape, and all his followers were killed with him." Ming Bei continued, "I take responsibility for this. I didn't expect the scenario of 'the mantis catches the cicada, with the oriole behind.'"
