Just as King Xin Shan had ordered the Flying Bear Army to attack while he was fleeing for the palace's exit, the civil and military officials behind him struck. In Liangzhu, there were over three hundred thousand officials who could discuss state affairs in the court. Among them, about thirty thousand supported King Xin Shan. Now, with them striking out, the place was instantly thrown into confusion.
Most of the courtiers of Great Yu had been wounded when Torch Dragon was wreaking havoc, because of which, their reactions were much slower than normal. With King Xin Shan's roar, his supporters immediately struck out at those around them. The glint and flash of cold steel filled the void as tens of thousands of civil officials took out countless talismans and threw them out in all directions. Flames and lighting turned into thick layers of clouds, almost completely obscuring the sky.
