Taking the Flags without Cutting Them Down
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Emperor Li's City was in ruins with bodies strewn everywhere on the ground. The demonic beasts watched the Black Wind Condor below with cold eyes. There was no problem to simply cut down the imperial flag of Emperor Li's City right there and then. It did not matter who was the one who took the flag. The key was the battle at Emperor Xia's City. That battle would have determined the outcome of the Battle of Empty Realm. If Emperor Xia's City was to fall and the city's imperial flag cut down, then the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm's forces would have emerged as the victor in that year's battle.
However, if the ones at Emperor Xia's City were to be on the losing side, they would have attacked the imperial flag of Demon Peacock City instead.
"Go home and protect the imperial flag," the Bull Demon said, giving the order. The demonic beasts then took to the air and quickly disappeared, leaving the battlefield of Emperor Li's City behind.
