Whoosh!

The Big Dipper Army soldiers instantly paled, and Wang Chong's brow creased as his heart slightly sank. In contrast, the eunuch supervisors surrounded by the soldiers sighed in relief.

The new master was here, saving them some breath. They would no longer need to provoke these 'fiendish gods' and turn themselves into targets.

”It came very quickly!”

According to Zhang Que's report, the First Prince had only announced the amnesty the day after he had left. No matter how fast Fumeng Lingcha was, he should have arrived at Big Dipper City only tomorrow.

But these eunuch officials had only just announced the decree when Fumeng Lingcha appeared. Just how fast could Fumeng Lingcha have been to make such a thing happen?

In other words, the First Prince and the man behind him had already planned everything out. Even before the amnesty had been issued, they had already secretly released Fumeng Lingcha from the imperial prison.

In order to prevent any mishaps, they were trying to take over the Big Dipper Army as quickly as possible.

Wang Chong quickly broke out of his pensive stupor and looked eastward, his face growing cold. Visitors did not come with good intentions, and those with good intentions did not visit. The First Prince had released Fumeng Lingcha to subdue the Big Dipper Army, but from another perspective, it was to control Wang Chong.

Back in Qixi, Wang Chong had Fumeng Lingcha locked up in the imperial prison. The two were old enemies!

”Don't act recklessly for now. Just wait and see!” Wang Chong softly said to the Big Dipper generals without turning his head.

Fumeng Lingcha got along with Wang Chong like fire and water, but his relationship with the Big Dipper Army wasn't that good either. When Geshu Han had still been alive, they could not have been described as friends.

But at this time, the Big Dipper Army was a pack of dragons without a leader. Not only was Geshu Han dead, but almost the entire upper echelon had been wiped out. There was no one left in the Big Dipper Army that could oppose him.

Everything had been planned down to the finest detail!

By now, the news that the court had already appointed a successor for the Big Dipper Great General had spread throughout the army, and all was still. Everyone stared together with Wang Chong toward the east.

Time slowly passed under a stifling atmosphere…

Rumble!

To the east of Big Dipper City, forty to fifty li away, a trail of dust appeared on a set of hills, and in the middle of this dust cloud, several black banners slowly emerged out of the horizon.

On the largest of these banners was a striking Xuan Bird and the word 'Fumeng'!

As the black banner appeared, a voice that had seemingly been suppressed for a long time was unleashed like a great torrent, releasing all its pent-up rage and hatred to sweep over the Big Dipper Army.

”Hahaha, Wang Chong, surprised, aren't you!? This lord once more sees the light of day!”

Gallop!

With a heaven-shaking rumble that unsettled space itself, stalwart figures wearing black armor appeared on horseback upon the distant hills.

Leading them was a seemingly divine figure mounted upon a horse as black as ink.

His sharp and vicious eyes, his dark skin like iron, his bristly beard—who could this be except the former Qixi Protector-General who had been brought down by Wang Chong's machinations, Fumeng Lingcha?!

Even Wang Chong couldn't help but be surprised at Fumeng Lingcha's appearance. Fumeng Lingcha had been imprisoned for more than half a year now, but he seemed just as energetic as ever. His cultivation level had not only not declined, it had grown even sturdier and more condensed.

It appeared that life in prison had only honed and tempered him!

Buzz!

As that man appeared on the hill, a massive stream of Psychic Energy tore through the air and locked onto Wang Chong.

As Fumeng Lingcha glared at the young figure standing in the middle of the Big Dipper Army, his eyes erupted with flames of hatred that soared to the heavens.

He had spent nearly ten months in prison, his hair disheveled and his legs shackled. Fumeng Lingcha had spent every minute and hour of those dark days thinking about the day he would be released and avenge himself on his foe.
