As the deafening echoes of battle reverberated through the halls of Wuyang Palace, Xie Jianzhi found himself abandoned by the very forces he had summoned to his aid.
The demonic allies who had once stood as his unwavering bulwark had vanished without a trace, leaving him to face the wrath of his enemies alone.
Desperate to escape the grasp of his pursuers, he sought refuge in the labyrinthine depths of the palace, his footsteps echoing through the dimly lit corridors as he desperately sought an elusive escape route.
Zhang Fengxi's intimate understanding of Wuyang Palace's labyrinthine architecture proved to be the decisive factor in Xie Jianzhi's capture, a strategic triumph that sealed the victory for the Crown Prince's forces.
Amidst the triumphant revelry that filled the shattered halls of Wuyang Palace, a notable absence cast a shadow over the celebrations. Zhang Fengxi, the formidable general who had spearheaded the victory, was nowhere to be found.
