Those were hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened troops; how could his King Zheng's guard, barely three thousand strong, possibly hold them off?
Yao Daoist's face remained expressionless, but there was something subtle in his eyes. In fact, the secret message contained another piece of information, which was that the Golden Maiden Sect's followers had given up on King Zheng and decided to sever ties completely.
He reassured Wei Chi verbally, his face remained impassive, merely telling King Zheng not to worry. The hundreds of thousands in the expeditionary force, after a long march, might not have as much combat power as expected. For now, he advised King Zheng to be patient and calm while he contacted other vassal kings for further planning.
That very night, Yao Daoist took advantage of the darkness to lead dozens of disciples from the Golden Maiden Sect away from King Zheng's guard.
