When the Zhi Family tried to bring Zhi Yue back, she refused and Yan Hua Yi Leng revealed that she and Ye Luo were legally registered members of Misty Pavilion studio.

As the Dark Demon King’s invasion began, Luoshui Town’s defenders took their positions and prepared to protect the Heart of the City.

Misty Pavilion defended Luoshui Town through increasingly powerful monster waves, with Yan Hua Yi Leng directing the group and Zhi Yue taking down an early boss. As the seventh wave approached its end, the defenders prepared for harder waves and hoped the town’s guards and siege weapons would join the fight before the final stretch.
