Ever since Chu Han arrived at Jinyang Base six days ago, the base had been as if bathed in blood. The once-thriving base was now filled with chaos and smoke, and the ruined streets pained Jinyang's upper ranks deeply. Beyond their fury, they vented all their resentment on those outside their own faction.
Ever since Chu Han and the Divine Concealment Squad had targeted the people in the wealthy district on the fourth day, the conflict between the two generals had intensified to a boiling point. That very night, a small group had rushed into Zhong Kai's territory in an attempt to assassinate him. Naturally, they had failed. The Wolf Fang Dark Department, having long known of the scheme, dragged every assassin out and put on a performance of "risking their lives to save their master" before Zhong Kai.
In an instant, Zhong Kai's ambition had swelled. His desire to get rid of Zhong Kui and the others had reached unprecedented heights. When his own combat troops stormed the wealthy district, not only did he refrain from investigating, but at the Dark Department's urging, he even considered it a great boost to his prestige.
Meanwhile, Zhong Kui's faction was steeped in lifeless gloom. Their suppressed fury made many of them unusually impulsive, and meetings to discuss how to deal with Zhong Kai's faction were held one after another.
Thus, once dawn broke on the sixth day, Jinyang Base's wealthy district was once again struck by a riot that resembled a looting spree!
This time, however, it was not Chu Han and the disguised Divine Concealment Squad leading the charge, but combat troops under Zhong Kui. Naturally, the Dark Department had played no small part in fanning the flames.
That group charged in fully armed, giving no one time to react.
