Before the Seven Stars Gang headquarters, the air seemed to freeze.
The soldiers of the North City Military Camp, clad in grim Profound Armor, stood in neat formations, facing off against the men of the West City Military Camp opposite them.
Even more conspicuous were the Gao Clan disciples crowded on either side, their furious gazes practically spitting fire. On both sides, swords were half-drawn and crossbows were strung, a murderous aura filling the air like the dead calm before a storm.
Though the North City forces were slightly outnumbered, their morale was far more ferocious.
Nearly a third of them were veterans Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang had brought from the Mountain Camp. Having survived bloody rebellions, they were tempered to the bone with a wild and untamable valor.
