Overpowering Baojing! One Man Suppresses Buddhism!

"General Han! Has General Han Qixian arrived?!"

Xu Yuan was overjoyed. The taut string in his heart finally loosened, and he even felt a surge of triumphant satisfaction!

In the current Qingzhou Camp headquarters, there was only one general who could mobilize such a large force and arrive with such speed.

Who else could it be but Han Qixian, one of the Four Great Generals, who had happened to return to camp in the past two days?

Zhang De must have brought the news back. Though Han Qixian was on bad terms with him, he had still come because of his duty!

Yet when Xu Yuan eagerly looked beyond the fluttering banner, searching for the figure he had expected to see, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he slowly froze where he stood.

It wasn't Han Qixian!

Beneath the "Qingzhou Camp" banner stood a figure in imposing military attire!

He stood tall and straight as a pine, his face youthful yet carrying a sharp, chilling air.

A Cloud-Treading Qilin auspicious beast had been intricately embroidered upon his deep ink-colored robe, majestic and lifelike.

The scales of his armor, gleaming with a dark sheen, were as fine and dense as the scales of an Ink Flood Dragon.

A black cloak also draped over his shoulders.

Xu Yuan had seen that face only yesterday—it was Jiang Bei, the one he had personally brought to the prefectural city!

Yet now, the other man's attire and status... had completely changed!

"Army-Pacifying Chief Deputy General?!"

Xu Yuan's throat bobbed as he stared in disbelief.

His foster father had directly promoted Jiang Bei from a Squad Leader of the Ren-Rank Camp

to this illustrious position, one that allowed him to mobilize the army and stand on equal footing with the Four Great Generals!

In just one day!
