Emperor Longqing's complexion changed drastically as he shouted loudly, "Anyone who dares assault Longqing Palace shall be killed without mercy."
The battle erupted instantly. Initially, only a limited number of cultivators charged forward, but those who hadn't acted yet observed briefly and soon spotted an opportunity, promptly joining the ranks of the attackers. The situation quickly turned against Longqing Palace, as its defenses were breached and cultivators poured inside, rummaging through the ruins. As they began to find treasures, their success further incited the onlooking cultivators.
More spectators joined the assault, rendering Longqing Palace's defenses dangerously frail and ultimately indefensible.
Knowing the tide had turned, Emperor Longqing could only shout, "Hurry and dig out the cultivation resources buried in the ruins; save as much as possible."
