The Star Luo Empire was riding high, plotting how to seize Suotuo City, the granary of the Balak Kingdom.
Once they seized that granary, the Balak Kingdom would collapse without another attack.
Then they would wait for the second army to march through Fasinuo Province and attack the Silves Kingdom, while the main army launched a frontal assault on Jialing Pass.

"Kill!"
In an instant, countless Soul Masters from Spirit Hall swarmed in from every direction!
A towering storm of soul power suddenly rose between heaven and earth,
