Chapter 20: Old Huang, It’s Me

Li Huafeng and Fang Chens grudge was rather simple.

Around six years ago, Fang Chen was around sixteen years of age but his martial cultivation had already risen to an incredible height of third stage Ki Control.

Back then, Li Huafeng was celebrated as the number one martial artist among the younger generation in Great Xia. Despite being only 23 years of age, he had already reached mid third stage Ki Control. Even among the older generation, there were only a few who could match him.

He was already the supervisor of the Court of Great Brilliance back then, and he had investigated countless powerful officials.

One day, he received a tip-off that a commander was colluding with Greenpine Country. He personally went down the barracks to capture that person back to the Court of Great Brilliance.

To his surprise, that person was extremely stubborn. He refused to admit that he was colluding with the enemy despite Li Huafeng employing all kinds of torture on him. In the end, he couldnt take it anymore and killed himself by biting his tongue off.

That commander was known to be a valiant commander under Fang Canghais command, and he had also been Fang Chens mentor for a period of time.

Fang Canghai was infuriated to learn about that commanders death, so he requested the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Later, it was found that the whistleblower had a grudge against the commander, so he fabricated evidence to frame him.

On the day of the commanders funeral, Fang Chen personally carried the coffin. Along the way, he bumped into Li Huafeng, who had come to offer his condolences. However, he expressed not the slightest guilt about his misjudgment and even mocked the commander for ending his own life and complicating matters.

Unable to take it anymore, Fang Chen made his move.

That was the day Great Xia learned that there was a youth younger than Li Huafeng who had already reached pinnacle Ki Control. There was no way Li Huafeng, being at mid Ki Control, could have been a match for him.

That day, Fang Chen broke Li Huafeng four limbs and partially crushed his ki sea. If not for Prime Minister Li Guozhu arriving with his men, Li Huafeng would have likely died then.

This resulted in Li Huafengs martial cultivation regressing to pinnacle second stage Ki Explosion, and he could never raise it again.

From then on, the two of them became nemeses.

Li Huafeng would occasionally cause trouble for Fang Chen, and Fang Chen would return the favor. Often, the one to suffer in the end was Li Huafeng.

I never thought youd still be the Court of Great Brilliances supervisor after so many years. Fang Chen laughed.

Li Huafengs face scrunched up. Even though his current position was beyond the reach of most people, this was far from enough to satisfy him. His heart lay with the army. He wanted to march onto the battlefield and pit his life against Greenpine martial artists.

However, Fang Chen had completely destroyed that possibility for him, as well as his future.

Everyone immediately fell silent. Their eyes drifted toward the corner of the room.

A newcomer? the deep voice echoed once more. Newcomer, introduce yourself!

Hurry up and introduce yourself! Do you know who he is? He used to be one of the Four Dragon Generals under War God Fang! someone urged Fang Chen.

The Four Dragon Generals used to be awe-inspiring, but three of them died in the battle at the Three Realms Mountain. The only surviving one was thrown into the Court of Great Brilliances prison. It has been five years, but his case still hasnt been handled yet, someone murmured.

Old Huang, its me, Fang Chen said.

Old Huang?!

The crowd stared at Fang Chen in disbelief. Is this fellow tired of living? How dare he address that man like that? Even the chief warden respectfully addresses him as General Huang!

The voice fell silent for a second before booming out loud, Marshall?! Did they throw you in here too? AHHHH! Those bastards! They deserve to die!

Boom!

The explosion was so deafening that some of the prisoners revealed pained looks and hurriedly covered their ears. It sounded as if someone had torn the cell apart.

A man who resembled a small hill appeared before Fang Chen.

The crowd was stunned.

He was at least half a body taller than ordinary people, and his arms were as thick as a grown mans waist. Despite being dressed in prison garb, he still exuded an intimidating aura that ensured no one made light of him. He stared fixated at Fang Chen with large, round eyes.

Marshall, how can they throw you in here as well? They duped me! Ill slaughter all of them and bring you out of here!

Marshall?

All of the prisoners who made fun of Fang Chen earlier fell silent. There was only one person whom General Huang would call Marshall.

This young man is War God Fang?!

What in the world happened outside?! Why would War God Fang be thrown in here?

The crowd was appalled.

At the same time, a few wardens rushed into the prison. They were terrified to see the giant, and they dared not approach him. They could only yell from afar, General Huang, return to your cell now!
