When the Jin Gang family troops suffered nearly one-third casualties, the earth-shattering news released by Wu Fan reached Shuo Yi's ears, leaving him shocked and disoriented, unable to continue fighting.
Shuo Yi led the remaining Jin Gang family troops hurriedly out of the boundaries of Midair City, but as to where to go next, he stood at the edge of the desolate Sunset Desert, feeling utterly lost inside.
His father had expelled him from the Jin Gang family, so returning to Daye City seemed impossible. Should he seek refuge with Tian Xiaozi in Crystal City? He feared that Tian Xiaozi had never truly trusted him, only using him as a weapon.
Moreover, he failed to capture Midair City as Tian Xiaozi had instructed, so even if he sought Tian Xiaozi's help, Tian Xiaozi might ignore him.
Shuo Yi had long experienced Tian Xiaozi's ruthlessness and cruelty, and now he finally tasted the bitter fruit of conspiring with a tiger.
But having taken this step, there was no turning back.
