As Song Wen fled in panic, the nine black banners, left without anyone to control them, began falling from the sky.
Yet the instant Chi Wang entered the area covered by the nine black banners, they abruptly stopped falling. Bone-white chains shot out from their surfaces and began hooking together, interweaving.
