"What? Xu Wandao is dead?" In the Vermilion Bird Camp, at the residence of Military Advisor Wei Hang, who upon receiving the news, his teacup quivered, spilling water all over the floor. "What was Jiang Xiuming doing? What about his eight thousand Military Martial n? Weren't you supposed to inform him in advance?"
Wei Hang's face darkened!
In his calculations, Xu Wandao was indeed fated to die, but not so easily.
At the very least, after Jiang Xiuming and Ye Fan had fiercely fought and both were badly wounded, Xu Wandao should then die. Moreover, Xu Wandao and Jiang Xiuming should die at the sa ti. With Xu Wandao dead, Ye Fan's rage could be pacified, and with that stubborn Jiang Xiuming dead, the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry could be completely controlled by Wei Hang's side, preventing any chance of it falling into an uncontrolled state under Jiang Xiuming's hands.
"Indeed, we did notify him, and moreover, Jiang Xiuming did lead his n into a battle… but… Vermilion Bird Commander, Old Patriarch Hou intervened, stopping Jiang Xiuming's eight thousand Military Martial soldiers en route, only allowing Jiang Xiuming to go alone to et Ye Fan, and then he saw Xu Wandao being killed with his own eyes..."
Smack!
Listening to his secretary's report, Wei Hang slapped his forehead hard, "My brain! I've pondered all possible scenarios, considered Ye Fan and Jiang Xiuming among others, yet I neglected this old fox... This… sigh..."
Wei Hang wore a look of annoyance.
Within the Vermilion Bird Domain, Hou Tianji's prestige is unparalleled.
Others might fail to stop Jiang Xiuming, but if Hou Tianji steps in, there will undoubtedly be an effect, at least in halting Jiang Xiuming's Military Martial forces.
But with Jiang Xiuming's eight thousand Military Martial n halted, what good is Jiang Xiuming alone?
"That's not right! Didn't Hou Tianji start practicing vegetarianism and reciting Buddhist scriptures recently? Why has he beco so active all of a sudden? When Wu Shihao and his n made a move on Ye Fan, Hou Tianji was also on the scene, and then he took the opportunity to take control of Wu Shihao's forces, now…"
Wei Hang quickly caught on, realizing that with internal divisions in the Vermilion Bird Domain, Hou Tianji had stopped being sidelined and had pretty much stopped ddling before!
"Think Tank, do you think Elder Hou might have sensed sothing and has already started to make moves in response?" the secretary asked, his face filled with worry.
Wei Hang furrowed his brows and thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Whether he has sensed sothing by now is no longer important. Since Hou Tianji was at the scene tonight, there must be another twist with the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry. Send out the orders, instruct all of our people hidden within the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry to remain silent from this mont on, they absolutely must not show themselves!"
Among the Four Great War Kings of the Vermilion Bird Domain, Wu Shihao had already fallen, and the majority of his forces were controlled by Hou Tianji, and another faction was already under Hou Tianji's absolute control. If part of the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry was also controlled by Hou Tianji, then the scales had already started to tilt, tipping towards Wei Hang's side.
"Right, what is Jiang Xiuming doing now?"
With his teacher slain before his eyes, that stubborn man would definitely not let this rest so easily!
"According to the latest intelligence, Jiang Xiuming has tead up with Xu Wandao's deputy and has already gathered a portion of the officers to seek revenge on Ye Fan!" The secretary hesitated for a mont before continuing, "However, based on the nas that have been notified so far, sothing doesn't feel right!"
Wei Hang's eyebrows lifted, "What's not right about it?"
"We have already notified thirty Chiliarchs, and ten Division Commanders… But those n, they are all the ones you've arranged… I suspect there is a problem…"
"Ah?" Upon hearing his secretary's words, Wei Hang exploded, leaping from his seat, "Why didn't you say this earlier? There's no need to suspect; there is definitely a problem! Quick, imdiately instruct them to return to their respective units, they must not attend any kind of revenge gathering, hurry… be quick… if we're not careful they could all be wiped out in one fell swoop…"
Oh my God!
Wei Hang felt like he wanted to die at this mont!
Seeking revenge on Ye Fan?
Logically, Jiang Xiuming should have gathered all of Xu Wandao's legitimate lineage n for action! But why did he specifically summon only the core forces Wei Hang had arranged?
This was not any revenge plan; it was more like a plan for a group purge!
Those Division Commanders and Chiliarchs were the absolute core forces Wei Hang had placed within the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry. If they were all purged, it would strike at the very foundation of Wei Hang.
Wei Hang had an intense premonition of doom!
Could it be that Xu Wandao, that old cur, was setting him up before dying? Had he laid a trap for him?
...
Jiang Xiuming's camp, Chief Qi notified the n on the list, and by now most had arrived!
Everyone was watching Jiang Xiuming, seated at the head of the room. A middle-aged man in the front, unable to contain his impatience, said, "Young Master Jiang, just give the order! That beast Ye Fan is despicable, daring to kill our commander publicly! Where should the face of our three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry go?"
"Indeed, we must seek revenge for the commander. With just one command from you, Young Master Jiang, our three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry will trample Guangcheng flat tonight and tear Ye Fan's body into ten thousand pieces!"
"Young Master Jiang, you are the commander's only student, and we all listen to you!"
Everyone present was Prince Jin's planted n, and they all urgently wished for Ye Fan's death, so naturally, they were all very excited.

They were all eager to start the action imdiately!
However, a few clear-headed individuals glanced around and realized sothing was amiss, "Young Master Jiang, sothing doesn't seem right! If we're seeking revenge for the commander, why haven't the representatives of the three legions directly under his command shown up?"
Huh?
Reminded by a man with a small mustache, the generals present took a closer look and imdiately realized sothing was off.
Not a single one from Xu Wandao's Direct Lineage Force had co?
"Young Master Jiang, what's this supposed to an? What are you trying to do?"
The alert generals began to stand up, intending to walk out of the camp.
But as soon as they made a move, they suddenly found their hands and feet went weak, their bodies were completely devoid of strength, and their Martial Arts Qi could not be invoked at all.
The crowd looked at Jiang Xiuming with faces filled with horror!
Jiang Xiuming's expression was gloomy as he coldly spoke, "My intention is very simple! To carry out my teacher's order, I want your lives!"
"Soone, take action! Leave none alive!"
Following Jiang Xiuming's command, a group of Martial Arts Experts, mbers of Jiang Xiuming's personal guard, charged into the hall from outside.
Pfft! Pfft!
Without any hesitation, these people drove their battle sabers directly through the generals' hearts, instantly sending the several dozen generals on the list to et Yama!
"You... Xu Wandao, you're ruthless..."
As the generals breathed their last, they looked at Jiang Xiuming with unwilling faces, never expecting that Xu Wandao had set up a plot before dying.
And the executor of this plot was the obstinate Jiang Xiuming.
Under the guise of revenge, everything was seamless and fell perfectly into place!
"Drag them out and burn them! Deputy Qi, for the remaining tasks related to Military Martial stability, you make the arrangents!" Jiang Xiuming barked an order at his subordinates, looking into the pitch-black night outside the hall, "Teacher must not die in vain, and his grievance must be avenged, but there's no need for you all to worry any longer!"
Now, within the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry, the task entrusted by the teacher to Jiang Xiuming had been completed.
All the unstable elents on the list had been purged, and no chaos could arise within the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry anymore.
Next, I, this young master, will go after Ye Fan and make sure this bastard can't sleep in peace!
"You few, follow to Guangcheng... to kill Ye Fan!"
...
Ye Fan, carrying the unconscious Xu Wandao, was already on his way back to Guangcheng!
With the matters of the Vermilion Bird Domain nearly settled, Ye Fan was in high spirits.
Tonight, he was supposed to obtain the Immortal Path Guide from Shen Mange, because keeping that thing in Shen Mange's body wasn't good for her either!
Looking forward to it!
There shouldn't be any more surprises, right?
