The skies over Purple Lotus City were dark, mirroring the turmoil that raged within the city. The battle between Sword Saint Huo Tu and Xun Bai, the Spectral Sage, had escalated into a clash that sent shockwaves through the streets. Buildings trembled from the impact of their attacks, and terrified citizens fled the destruction as the conflict spread across the city.

Each of them was fully loyal to him, bound by the Vassal Bond System, and their combined power was formidable. With Ra Cun distracted by the chaos unfolding in the city, the time had come for Chen Fong to take control of the Viper Clan.
