There, he spotted Hai Liang’s palace carriage and publicly taunted him, leaving the battlefield poised for a direct confrontation.

• Ren Jie ended the pursuit after more than three hundred li and led his troops back through the Northwest Camp, where the soldiers and residents celebrated their victory.

After Ren Jie’s victory shattered the Skysea Empire’s million-strong army, Hai Liang faced growing attacks on his forces and ordered a massive mobilization to crush the Northwest Camp. He left the empire’s western front dangerously undermanned and declared that he was prepared for an all-out war with the Bright Jade Dynasty.

• News spread that Ren Jie’s forces had annihilated nearly a million Skysea Empire troops while suffering only a little over twenty thousand losses, and Wen Zihao condemned the Imperial Court for downplaying the victory.

• Hai Liang refused to reconsider, threatened an all-out war, and ordered the Skysea Empire to prepare for war with all its strength.

Ren Jie and Ren Tianheng watched the Northwest Camp defeat Hong Hai’s forces, then discussed Ren Jie’s plan to strike the Skysea Empire and the secrets behind their family’s military preparations. The army returned victorious, and Ren Jie ended by asking what had happened to Ren Tianheng’s body.

• The Guard Squad killed Hong Hai, and Ren Jie ordered the Northwest Camp to rout the enemy without pursuing them more than a hundred miles or accepting heavy losses.
• Ren Tianheng praised the Guard Squad’s strength, and Ren Jie explained how his father’s training and his own resources had transformed them.
• Ren Jie told Ren Tianheng that he planned to attack the Skysea Empire’s Western Line defenses, with Sixth Uncle and Uncle Zhan leading the Heavenly Dragon Army raid.
• Ren Tianheng said Ren Jie would need to ask Fifth Uncle about Ren Tianxing’s plans and explained that a treaty barred Taiji Realm experts from assassinating officials outside battlefields.
• The Northwest Camp army returned in triumph, and Ren Jie asked Ren Tianheng what had happened to his body and why only his Divine Soul Power remained.

Ren Jie discovered that Ren Tianheng was a powerful divine soul bound to the Soul Devouring Armor, then reinforced the seals so his Second Uncle could safely wield Taiji Realm strength. As they went to celebrate, Ren Jie wondered whether his father’s later activities and disappearance were connected to the hidden powers he had encountered.

• Ren Tianheng was shocked that Ren Jie had noticed his divine soul and explained how his body had been destroyed and the Soul Devouring Armor had kept his soul alive while absorbing battlefield souls.
• Ren Jie examined the Soul Devouring Armor, found ancient divine soul power within it, and strengthened the seals his father had placed on it.
• Ren Tianheng discovered he could unleash Taiji Realm power without exposing that he lacked a physical body, while Ren Jie warned that his powerful soul would make finding a suitable body difficult.
• Ren Jie considered that a powerful body might let Ren Tianheng return to physical life, but his Second Uncle dismissed the matter and invited him to celebrate.
• Ren Tianheng said Ren Jie’s father had become much stronger after sealing the armor and had later encountered mysterious existences, prompting Ren Jie to consider whether those forces were tied to his father’s disappearance.

• Ren Tianzong revealed that agents planted in the Skysea Empire could open a gap in the Western Line defenses for the army.
• Ren Jie celebrated the Northwest Camp’s victories with its people, then asked Ren Tianheng to take him to the formation’s core space.

Ren Jie entered the Northwest Camp’s Core Array Formation Space and learned that the Intruding Array Sect controlled most of its formations. After Jiang Wuzhen insulted and tried to bar him, Ren Jie seized him and pushed deeper into the sect’s forbidden area, with Ren Tianheng rushing after them.

• Ren Tianheng explained that the Intruding Array Sect controlled two-thirds of the Core Array Formation Space and that its leader, Jiang Zhen, maintained the camp’s formations under an agreement with the Ren Family.
• Jiang Wuzhen confronted Ren Jie and Ren Tianheng, demanded they wait, and arrogantly refused to let them proceed without his master’s permission.

• Jiang Wuzhen activated his power and the surrounding formations, but Ren Jie shattered their defenses and grabbed him by the neck.
• Ren Jie carried Jiang Wuzhen farther into the forbidden area, while Ren Tianheng hurried after them.

Ren Jie stormed into the Array Formation Sect, captured Jiang Wuzhen, and destroyed its formations after discovering the sect occupied the Ren Family’s Northwest Camp territory.

• Jiang Zhen arrived with the sect’s experts and demanded that Ren Jie explain why he had captured Jiang Wuzhen and ruined the formations.
• Ren Jie said he had come to inspect the Northwest Camp’s array hub, and Jiang Zhen realized Jiang Wuzhen had lied about him being unavailable.
• Jiang Zhen admitted his disciple was at fault but objected to Ren Jie’s treatment of him and the sect.
• Ren Jie threw Jiang Wuzhen before Jiang Zhen and ordered the Array Formation Sect and everyone else to leave Ren Family territory immediately.

Ren Jie confronted Jiang Zhen and the Array Sect after they objected to his insults, showing that their threats could not match his power or influence. He ordered them to leave, and Jiang Zhen hesitated because he knew he could not easily abandon the place or the promise he had made to Ren Tianxing.

• Jiang Zhen and the Array Sect members became furious when Ren Jie told them to get lost, and Jiang Zhen threatened to discipline him.
• Ding Jun attacked Ren Jie, but Ren Jie casually struck him down and pinned him beneath a giant palm of mana.
• Ren Jie challenged Jiang Zhen's combat ability and summoned Gu Xiaobao, whose overwhelming power terrified the Array Sect before Ren Jie sent him away.
• Ren Jie ordered Jiang Zhen and the Array Sect to leave, and Jiang Zhen struggled with the command because of what he had invested in the place and his promise to Ren Tianxing.

Ren Jie confronted Jiang Zhen and the Array Sect over their arrogance and their position in the Northwest Camp, insisting they leave unless they acknowledged the Ren Family owed them nothing. After realizing that leaving would expose his sect to danger and cut him off from the array formation space, Jiang Zhen admitted his mistakes and apologized, leaving the other disciples confused.

• Ren Jie explained to Ren Tianheng that he intended to make the Array Sect either obey or leave, and assured him he could control the Northwest Camp's formations himself.
• Jiang Zhen argued that he had promised Ren Jie's father to protect the Northwest Camp, while Ren Tianheng urged Ren Jie to give him a way out.
• Ren Jie rebuked Jiang Zhen for letting the Array Sect act like an independent power inside the military camp and offered to let them leave with whatever they could carry.
• Jiang Zhen realized that the Array Sect would be vulnerable outside the camp and that leaving could end his chance to advance, so he acknowledged the Ren Family owed him nothing.
• Jiang Zhen apologized to Ren Jie and Ren Tianheng, while the other members of the Array Sect stared at him in confusion.
