Then they would become the laughingstock of their own circle.
Zhao Tianyin stepping in to save his two juniors could barely be justified and understood, but doing anything more would be excessive.
Of course, all of this ultimately came down to the overwhelming strength of Purple Cloud City.
Zhao Tianyin was not confident he could break the city in one strike; he had no wish to make a move, fail miserably, and lose face.
At the same time, the battle outside the city also reached its conclusion.
Zhao Wuji and Zhao Wushuang, seeing that the Ancestor had yet to arrive and knowing the situation was beyond salvaging, grit their teeth and ordered a retreat.
More than half of the Court's Nascent Soul Masters had fallen; the remaining ones fled in disarray, and the three great legions were utterly routed, discarding armor and helmets as they broke apart.
No one had expected that the first decisive battle would begin just like this.
And Purple Cloud City had won!
