Chapter 112: Perish Together_1
The news of the army’s defeat swiftly reached the Holy Fire Sect, causing a massive shock. Although they all knew that defeat was only a matter of time, it was still hard to accept when the news actually arrived.
"Millions of soldiers didn’t even last a day. Without a large army to stop them, what will become of the Holy Fire Sect?"
Under the night sky, in the splendor of the palace, Duan Yonghui dismissed all his attendants. He slumped against the wall, his eyes dim and his body devoid of strength.
What could he do?
Ultimately, he was just an inexperienced youth. Despite being hailed as a prodigy since childhood, he was still helpless when faced with such a significant crisis.
That’s right! I need to find Han Yuquan and have him plead for the Changeable Mansion’s intervention. It’s the only way to save the Holy Fire Sect!
After some thought, Duan Yonghui stood up and called out hastily, "Someone, summon Han Yuquan..."
He hesitated for a moment, then said quietly, "Never mind. I will go and see him myself. If it can save the Holy Fire Sect, what’s a little humiliation?"
A Pope, personally visiting a subordinate!
This wasn’t just a matter of humiliation; his dignity was being trampled underfoot.
Even though Han Yuquan had seized control of the Holy Fire Sect’s power during this period, Duan Yonghui still tried to maintain the Pope’s dignity in front of outsiders, preserving his last vestiges of pride.
