Out of the top figures of the nine tribes, one had been killed by Ye Futian. Eight of the top figures remained.
With the Nanli Tribe leader and the Vermillion Bird Tribe leader submitting to him, four tribes were choosing to side with Ye Futian and acknowledge his place as the successor to Emperor Kua. They were willing to work with him.
The powers of both sides were almost equal, with four tribes standing on each side.
No one had anticipated that things would turn out this way. When the seven tribes led their armies to attack Ye Futian, everyone had thought that the battle would be a slaughter.
Furthermore, with more and more people joining the fray and ganging up on Ye Futian, it seemed as if he had made enemies everywhere.
A man's ruin was brought by the wealth he possessed. The relic of Emperor Kua that Ye Futian had should have been his downfall.
