Chapter Summaries

Tie Kuangren failed to advance, gave Tie Xiaosheng the corrected Iron Armor Mixed Origin Power, and charged the Inner Palace Army in the Iron Futu, leaving his fate uncertain after a devastating battle. With enemy forces closing in, Chu Xisheng rejected Governor Sikong Chan’s surrender terms by killing Du Wenyuan and ordering West Mountain Hall to advance into battle.
