In a flash of light, two Origin Spears shot to the left and right, shooting toward Fumeng Lingcha's 'subordinates' like bolts of lightning.
”Not good!”
The two trembled in fear and instinctively lunged to the right and left in a bid to escape.
But Wang Chong was immensely powerful, his attacks issued without warning and imbued with all his power. Even the Tianfu Divine Lord had found Wang Chong an extremely difficult opponent who needed to be taken seriously, much less these two.
Bang! Bang!
The two had only gotten a few dozen feet when two explosions and two screams rang out, and the pair were nailed to the ground by the Origin Spears.
Boom!
Everyone was struck dumb by this sight, even the Big Dipper Army officers rendered speechless. They knew that the King of Foreign Lands would help them, but none of them had expected Wang Chong to actually kill two of Fumeng Lingcha's subordinates.
”Lord Protector-General!”
Cries of alarm could be heard as the former Qixi generals rushed toward a nearby crater where Fumeng Lingcha lay. His face was ghastly pale and his body was motionless. Wang Chong's blow had knocked him unconscious.
Fumeng Lingcha was strong, but how could he be stronger than the Subtle-realm Wang Chong?
It was one thing if Wang Chong wasn't serious, but once he used his true power, Fumeng Lingcha was no match.
”Wang Chong, you dare?!”
”We will definitely report this matter to the Imperial Court!”
Fumeng Lingcha's subordinates glared at Wang Chong and bellowed, their eyes red.
”Hmph, do you have the right to speak on this matter?” Wang Chong asked icily.
He vanished like a ghost, reappearing a moment later only half a foot away from these subordinates.
”In addition, don't forget that until he formally assumes his post, you don't even count as soldiers. With this insubordinate conduct you're showing, I could kill you and the Imperial Court wouldn't blame me!”
”You!”
The subordinates shivered in terror.
Wang Chong was right. Fumeng Lingcha had not officially taken his post, and until he did, they were just ordinary people, not even generals, while Wang Chong was the Minister of War.
These people would never be able to escape if Wang Chong wanted to deal with them.
”Hmph, understand now?”
Wang Chong coldly snorted. He raised a hand, and a moment later, the vision of Fumeng Lingcha's subordinates went dark, and they dropped unconscious to the ground without even a groan.
All was silent, and even the Big Dipper Army soldiers could only stare in speechless shock.
Fumeng Lingcha had been the newly appointed 'Big Dipper Great General', and while they had all been furious at him, no one had expected Wang Chong to knock him and all his subordinates unconscious before he had even taken his post, even killing two of them.
”Someone, come and take them away!”
After easily suppressing Fumeng Lingcha, Wang Chong waved his sleeve and turned to the Big Dipper Army officers.
The Big Dipper Army generals felt like they were waking from a dream, and they quickly ordered some soldiers to take Fumeng Lingcha and his subordinates away.
”Your Highness, thank you for this!”
As the unconscious Fumeng Lingcha was taken away to the prison, the Big Dipper Army generals came forward and respectfully bowed in gratitude. Everyone understood that Wang Chong could have just walked away and ignored the Big Dipper Army's plight.
”But due to your help, the Imperial Court might…”
All of them felt ashamed about the problems this would cause in the future. While Fumeng Lingcha had been arrested, this was only the beginning.
Wang Chong waved his hand and assuringly said, ”Relax. The Imperial Court can't do anything to me about Fumeng Lingcha. I have my own plans, and there's no need to worry.”
Fumeng Lingcha truly did present a problem, but this was not someone that Wang Chong needed to worry about. That man was still far away in the capital.
The tempest had temporarily been calmed, and Fumeng Lingcha was jailed in a cell for the time being until Geshu Han's funeral was over. With Wang Chong's assistance, the soldiers of Big Dipper City quickly calmed the people of Longxi, and Wang Chong was able to get some time alone in the spirit hall with Geshu Han.
The surroundings were serene and quiet, the smell of candles and incense drifting in the air. Wang Chong stared with a profound gaze at the body in the coffin.
Wang Chong had his conjectures, but there was one final step needed to verify them.
I hope that it's not what I think!
Wang Chong took in a deep breath and stepped up to the side of the coffin.
”General Geshu, forgive me!”
