Even if they were unwilling, the Great Zhou Empire subjects had no choice but to retreat.
But this time, their losses were too huge. Not only did they not obtain the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and the Penglai Celestial Mountain, they even lost their own Fangzhang Celestial Mountain. The Imperial Palace had not recovered till its peak state, and even sustained more damage.
As the three celestial mountains appeared, the Great Zhou Empire invested a lot of effort to gain an advantage. But eventually, they suffered greatly. This result was bound to make Liang Pan, Zhu Hongwu and the other Great Zhou subjects depressed.
In fact, as the Penglai Celestial Mountain was used by Lin Feng to snatch the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, even if they got the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, they would still be at a disadvantage.
