Facing the relentless shadow monsters that countered the Tang Sect's techniques and knowing neither exhaustion nor fear of injury or death, Tang Sect was beginning to show signs of fatigue.
Tang Xiumei and Tang Song could still hold on, but those Inner Sect Disciples had already expended a lot of Spirit Qi and physical energy during the conclave. Coupled with the ever-present shadows, the people of Tang Sect were starting to fall behind.
In desperation, Tang Song and Tang Xiumei decided to initiate the Tang Sect's Yin Gate plan. This meant that each building had a space that was easy to defend but hard to attack, and the Inner Sect Disciples took shelter nearby, passively defending against the enemy.
But Jiang Li and Xu Xuan chose to remain at the base of the tower.
Because Zhou Li had not yet left.
