Chapter 435 - 189 Confronting Cain
The Fireball had failed. The combined forces of the Pasa and Xiao Ke family clans encircled Soaring Cloud City, where the defenders made their final resistance.
At that moment, three powerful members of the Cairo family arrived, but the other two families were already prepared, and suddenly six more emerged, intercepting them.
Within an hour, the two family clans had successfully breached Soaring Cloud City.
When they saw the bloodbath inside Soaring Cloud City, Wei Sheng was infuriated to near death, and he swore to the heavens that he would kill Lu Hong.
As for Lu Hong, his mages were still unable to break the Great Soaring Cloud Formation. Left with no other choice, Lu Hong had to give up and lead the remnants of his forces in a rout out of the west gate of Soaring Cloud City.
Lu Hong was ambushed by messages acquired from the Black Guards, and in a moment, he was slain by Cain, marking the Cairo family’s operation against Soaring Cloud City as a total failure.
It wasn’t until the next morning that the Cairo family received news of Lu Hong’s death. This siege on Soaring Cloud City had cost the Cairo family two great generals, with one from each the shadow and public factions dead, truly a damaging blow to their core.
Enraged, the head of the Cairo family did not disperse the assembled army, instead ordering them to continue marching towards Soaring Cloud City.
Seven days later, after regrouping, Cairo’s two million strong army pressed forward, directly threatening Soaring Cloud City.
Pasa and Xiao Ke once again joined forces, activating the Great Soaring Cloud Formation to stand against Cairo’s army.
