With his strength bolstered and his resolve hardened, Fen Tian decided it was time to return to Azure Hollow. Along the way, he gathered several treasures and techniques that would aid him in the battles to come.
However, upon his return, he found the village in a state of heightened alert. Fen Lao informed him that their enemies were amassing forces and would soon launch a full-scale assault on Azure Hollow.
Fen Tian gazed at his people, their faces filled with a mix of fear and determination. Clutching his spear, he declared, "I will not let this village fall. If they want a fight, they'll get one."
The stage was set for the first true test of Fen Tian's strength and leadership.
