City Breached and Sudden Change

Throughout this siege, Liang Zhaohuang had been muddling along amid the crowd of Golden Core True Persons, going with the flow without charging ahead in the slightest, and thus facing no danger at all.

By now, however, Liang Ruijian rarely used the Tiger-Crouching Seal or divine abilities in
