Chapter 247: Issuing the Order
The four Great Li Tianjin Guards columns advancing on Falling God Peak had seen the terrifying sea of fire engulfing Hundred Refinements City after the Scarlet Fire Honored Elder made their move.
The entire morale had plummeted to its lowest point, as though a layer of shadow had settled over every single person.
In that moment, including the former Commander, almost everyone had stopped seeing any hope of the Tianjin Guards winning, and saw only the bleak fate of leaving their bones in a foreign land.
Even so, the Great Li Tianjin Guards's strict discipline held, and though the columns were at their lowest point of spirit, they continued advancing toward Falling God Peak's four designated peaks according to the established plan.
Had this been any other martial world faction or force, half the people would already have slipped away in secret to save their own lives.
Throughout this period, Fu Qiwen and Hu Rui'an traveled in silence, and the atmosphere across the entire column was extremely heavy.
Especially after the Scarlet Fire Honored Elder drew the sea of fire back in, Fu Qiwen and the others were even more on guard against the possibility that, after dealing with the problem at Hundred Refinements City, the Honored Elder would come after the Tianjin Guards's four columns next.
But the retaliation from the Scarlet Fire Honored Elder never came. Instead they were left to witness the sudden arrival of the Falling God Peak grandmaster and the other honored elders descending on Hundred Refinements City.
"It must be His Highness. It has to be His Highness."
