Qi Tian didn't waste any more time on military discipline and sent his orders directly to the five Princes, commanding them to take their respective palace guards to Chaoyang Palace and prepare to encircle it tightly, inside and out, disallowing any slack or errors.
Unable to haggle with Qi Tian, Emperor Wu and the others could only comply with Qi Tian's commands, then, with their respective followers, they marched mightily toward Chaoyang Palace.
The atmosphere around Chaoyang Palace was bustling, as the cultivators from Xidu and North Capital didn't consider it their home at all. Within the palace, they did as they pleased. Whether indulging in drink and merriment, or engaging in combat and sparring, all manner of people caused significant damage to Chaoyang Palace.
