Western Domain.
After three years, Lu Qingshan returned to the Western Domain.
Half a month earlier, with his intelligence support, the Netherworld in the Southern Territory suffered massive losses and was forced to choose the survival tactic of cutting off its tail.
However, the Zhi Shou Tower was clearly not ineffective; as soon as the Netherworld made moves to minimize its losses, they took advantage of the victory and expanded their gains.
The Netherworld was left dropping its helm and discarding its armor, in a sorry state of disarray.
This turn of events was also within the Netherworld's expectations. Since they had made such a choice, they were naturally prepared for the consequences, like a resigned lamb ready for slaughter.
