Chapter 2287 Betrayals
Xi, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow’s sudden retreat caught Emperor Ancestors Wanliu and Qianyin off guard.
Throughout their battle with Xi, a sense of unease had been creeping over them.
Watching Big Yellow and Xia Zhi relentlessly hunt down the Emperor-level figures only deepened their dread. Their expressions had long since turned ashen, their fury laced with disbelief.
No matter how unwilling they were to admit it, they knew the truth—if things continue as they were, the vanguard forces of the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Clans would be utterly wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour!
Fortunately, that did not happen.
The retreat of Xi, Xia Zhi and Big Yellow puzzled them at first, but realization quickly dawned on them. Their gazes snapped toward the distance.
At that moment, the entire battlefield seemed to freeze. Whether it was the Black Tortoise and White Tiger armies outside the city, or Huang Cangtian and the others in the city, all eyes turned toward the same direction.
The setting sun stained the sky a deep-blood-red hue.
Thousand Flame Imperial City stood bathed in golden light, its ancient towering buildings and magnificent landscape glistening beneath the solemn glow, casting an almost dreamlike illusion of peace.
Boom!
However, this tranquility was soon shattered.
