• Xu Jiujiu and Marshal Lin Tuyuan told Su Yu that Star Luo’s forces were struggling to hold the Ming Dou Defense Line against the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Jiawei learned that Su Yu planned to enter Mingdu alone to rescue Jing Hongchen and worried about the danger, then realized the mission could make the Ice God Palace a permanent enemy of the Sun Moon Empire.
