Seven Star Sect, this time, truly suffered a terrible loss.
When Lu Yuan led the main force of the army, arrived at Luyang Prefecture, he received two pieces of good news.
One was that the Seven Star Sect's Rebel Head Qiao Xiuyuan, after fleeing back to Fu City of Luyang Prefecture, immediately began gathering troops from all over the place, preparing to assemble his forces and defend the city to the death.
As a result, the defenses of the other counties in Luyang Prefecture became very weak and could be easily taken.
The other was that some local people who were loyal to the court in Luyang Prefecture, seeing the imperial army fighting back, rose their troops to respond, and many of them had now joined forces with the righteous army.
Even some of the enemy officers stationed in various county towns by the Seven Star Sect started to actively surrender and submit to the court when they saw that the Sect was about to be finished.
