The elite escort guards engaged the enemy troops, but their initial momentum was short-lived. They were vastly outnumbered, with only two Core Formation stage cultivators, whereas the enemy had more than 30 cultivators at the same level, putting the guards at a significant disadvantage.
As the battle raged on, the guards in the Meridian Opening stage began to fall one by one, their poor cultivation rendering them vulnerable to the enemy's attacks. Witnessing this, Ye Yang urgently called out to Hell, "Go help them, Hell! We can't afford to lose any more men!"
Hell spoke, his voice firm and resolute, "My oath is to protect you or your family, not some hired troops. If Blonde is in danger, then I'll go to help her."
Ye Yang pressed on, his tone filled with urgency, "If they fall, who will the enemy target next? Me, of course! And these troops are under our family's protection, my protection."
