Tian Ji's horse race is a great story, combining education with entertainment, an archetype of using the weak to defeat the strong. After Xu Yuan's series of maneuvers, the situation within the Prefecture City had largely mirrored it.
After all, the Sect's side also happened to have three people left.
But unfortunately, reality is far crueler than stories.
The Sect's three remaining members were all top-tier "blood-sweating horses," while Xu Yuan's side — except for his uncle — consisted of mules, donkeys, oxen, and all sorts of mixed breeds.
Still, overall, it wasn't entirely hopeless.
Feng Jiuxuan was slightly stronger than Emperor Bai.
While the Three Saints of Qilin Wolf were undoubtedly mixed livestock, with the addition of the formations and military forces in the Government Office, they had the advantage over the hunched elder — a pedigree horse — five against one seemed like a winning prospect.
