According to Chen Xuantian's instructions, Chan Zi took his younger brothers and cleared out the treasure vault of the Nangong Family. They hid in the Taoist temple across the way for seven days. When one of them crawled out between the cracks in the walls to scout ahead, Huan Tianyuan's army and eight hundred Nascent Souls had already left Yunmeng River Mouth and marched south to the Li River.
By this time, the general situation was settled. Not only were the Nangong Family and the Twelve Tiger Ministers completely executed, leaving only the Southern Garrison General caught and taken back to Jiangdu for confinement and breeding, but even the Four Great Families were uprooted. The Liu Family's defense was weak, allowing bandits and soldiers to rush into the city and set fires, almost emptying their private treasury in compensation before the General opened a way for them, accepting their private soldiers as vanguard guides.
