After leaving Lu Zhantian's place, Lin Xuan, carrying the iron hammer, went straight back to the First Army's garrison. His face was cold, and his eyes were filled with a sharp, murderous aura.

To put it bluntly, it's because I'm not strong enough that I'm being treated as a pawn.

It can be discarded at any time.

"Sea and Sky God General!"

Lin Xuan's eyes were like knives as he muttered to himself, "I'll remember this debt and pay you back someday."

Then, Lin Xuan said to Tie Dachui, "Dachui, call Ling Zhan over here."

"Yes, Commander!"

Tie Dachui quickly agreed and immediately turned and left the Grand Commander's Mansion.

Inside the study.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but the various scenes of the banquet that evening floated into his mind, and he quickly sorted out the cause and effect.

He saw through Lu Zhantian and his group's thoughts and methods.

Instantly, a murderous aura surged in his eyes: "A bunch of old foxes, how dare they try to use me as a pawn."

"Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

thump thump thump...

There was a knock on the door, and Tie Dachui's voice came in: "Commander-in-Chief, Commander Ling Zhan has arrived."

"Come in!"

Lin Xuan's thoughts returned, and he said in a deep voice.

The door creaked open.

Ling Zhan strode in, bowed to Lin Xuan, and said, "Commander, what are your orders for summoning me here?"

"Have you ever heard of the Starry Sea?" Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. I only know that it's a top-tier secret realm, and it's rumored to be related to the ancient Heavenly Court."

Ling Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Does the Commander-in-Chief want me to investigate this Star Sea?"

"That's right!"

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "As far as I know, the Star Sea is about to open. I hope you can send someone to find out all the information related to the Star Sea as soon as possible."

Especially the opening time, the location of the entrance..."

"no problem."

Ling Zhan nodded quickly, then hesitated for a moment and said, "However, Commander, as far as I know, the quotas for entering and leaving the Star Sea are controlled by the higher-ups."

us……"

"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own plans."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Your task is to gather information. I don't care what methods you use, whether you gather information yourself or buy it."

I only care about the results. If you need anything, just ask me for reimbursement...

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Ling Zhan nodded quickly and didn't ask any more questions.

After bowing to Lin Xuan, he turned and left the study.

The situation was urgent, and he could not afford to delay even for a moment.

On the other end.

Inside a luxurious manor in Shanhaiguan.

Wei Ming, who had been injured by Lin Xuan, was standing in a courtyard, reporting to a square-faced middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes sitting in a pavilion.

“My Lord, that Lin Xuan is truly arrogant. He doesn’t give you any face at all and is very unhappy about having his Star Sea spot taken back.”

He boasted that if the divine general wouldn't give it to him, he would come and take it himself…

Wei Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment when he mentioned Lin Xuan.

"Hmph... How dare you!"

The square-faced man was none other than the divine general Wei Haitian. After hearing Wei Ming's report, a flash of anger crossed his face.

With an indifferent expression, he said coldly, "I already know about this. You may leave now."

"I'll have someone handle Lin Xuan's matter; you don't need to worry about it..."

"My Lord General, this Lin Xuan is so arrogant, could it be..."

Upon seeing this, Wei Ming immediately became anxious.

He knew Lin Xuan was powerful and that he could not take revenge on his own, so he wanted to use Wei Haitian's help.

But seeing that Wei Haitian hadn't made any move, she became anxious and instinctively tried to persuade him.

However, the words had barely left his mouth when...

Wei Haitian's eyes turned cold as he glanced at him and said, "I said I would have someone handle this matter."

Don't you understand?

"yes……"

Wei Ming trembled, his face turned deathly pale, and he quickly bowed and retreated.

Deep within his pupils, however, a sense of resentment surfaced.

After Wei Mingyi left.

Wei Haitian walked out of the ancient pavilion, glanced at an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, and said, "Go and investigate everything that happened at Lu Zhantian's house tonight."

No detail should be overlooked…

"yes!"

A deep voice rang out from the shadows.

The next moment, a figure flashed by and disappeared without a trace.

...

It was late at night, and all was quiet.

The First Army's headquarters, at the Grand Commander's residence.

Lin Xuan lay on the bed, drifting into a dream.

Ancient times.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Dahuang City, in the prison of the Demon Suppression Department.

Cell No. 03 in the Jiazi Prison.

Lin Xuan took out his identity token, opened the cell door, and strode inside.

"Kid, you're here to kill me?"

As soon as I entered, a cold voice came from inside.

At the far end of the cell, a beautiful woman was bound tightly by eight chains that exuded a mysterious aura.

“That’s right, I’m here to execute you.”

Lin Xuan remained calm, glanced at the woman, and asked, "Do you have any last words?"

"The executioners of demon-suppressing officials reside in this great prison year-round, their bodies invaded by malevolent energy, their life force dissipated. How can they be like you, with such vigorous blood and energy? Tell me... who exactly are you?"

The beautiful woman's eyes were icy cold as she rebuked him sharply.

His words startled Lin Xuan, who exclaimed in surprise, "You can see through my disguise?"

Before he entered the Demon Suppression Division, he had already used the Concealing Breath Technique to disguise himself.
