The siege engines were extremely powerful, and although the Cheng Family's main gate was made of iron, it didn't take more than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea before it was battered open amidst a series of thunderous bangs.
After the gate was smashed open, the gatekeepers of the Cheng Family scattered and hid away, with no one daring to step forward to confront the breach.
Cheng Xiang and Cheng Yao, leading a group of their kin, hurried over only to see the Cheng Family's gate broken down. The fallen iron gate landed on the ground with a "bang," seeming to smash right onto their hearts.
With the iron gate collapsed, the Cheng Family's gilded plaque fell to the ground and shattered, the impact hitting everyone on the head as if the sky of the Cheng Family had collapsed in unison.
The timid among them immediately fell to the ground, their legs so soft they could not get up again, while even those with more courage could barely stand steady.
