Elder Teng had already begun to mobilize troops and gather towards Xiangrong City. The majority of the Three Great Palaces' military strength was distributed in the west, and although the current situation had plunged to rock bottom, none of the members of the Three Great Palaces would agree to their complete annihilation.
Now, Elder Teng could only gather all forces at Xiangrong City under the pretext of rescuing those trapped, exerting a certain amount of pressure on Wanxiang City.
Of course, everyone knew that the Three Great Palaces, having lost many top-level officials, would only incur heavy sacrifices if they were to contend with the Soul Covenant with just these forces.

After the battle at Xiangrong City had ended, peace soon returned as before.
Early Morning, sunlight bathed the evergreen plants, and dewdrops twinkled with a beautiful luster in the new dawn, with the entire city still appearing beautifully moving.
