Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Tianmang Fortress.

"What? You said King Jing has gained control of the Black Armored Cavalry Army and annihilated fifty thousand demon troops at Yellow Dragon Ridge?"

On top of the city tower, Yuan Tiangang heard the news, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Think tank Sun Boce also frowned and said, "This is completely unlike Prince Jing's previous style. Considering his temperament, he wouldn't have such boldness!"

He focused his gaze, staring at the communication soldier, and said coldly, "Quick, who besides Prince Jing is by his side?"

Noticing the expressions of the Grand Commander and Chief Think Tank seemed unfriendly, the communication soldier shivered and stuttered, "There is... also a youth who appears to be around the same age as Prince Jing, seems to be..."

Before he could finish, Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes, emphasizing each word, "It's Ling Feng, that lad!"

"It's... seems to be General Ling indeed."

The communication soldier paused and continued, "Additionally, the City Lord of Iron Wolf City mobilized more than three thousand city guards to join at the fortress."

"Long Xiaao!"

Yuan Tiangang sneered, "His Majesty transferred Long Xiaao from the north to the Southern Border, likely to pave the way for this Ninth Prince."

Yuan Tiangang, being extremely astute, naturally saw through the Sky White Monarch's intentions.

"Grand Commander, now that Prince Jing oversees an elite Black Armored Cavalry Army and has the support of the Iron Wolf City Lord, although Long Xiaao is not a major threat, he remains a loyal confidant of the royal family. Combined forces could be concerning..."

"What is there to fear?" Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes, smiling slightly, "I haven't sparred with anyone in a long time. Since this young prince wants to play, I shall accompany him."

"What about Ling Feng?"

Sun Boce made a throat-slitting gesture. It was precisely because of the variable that was Ling Feng, otherwise, Prince Jing would have remained sequestered within the Jing Royal Mansion, not venturing out.

"This Ling Feng is a talent, more so a military genius!"

Yuan Tiangang focused on Sun Boce, speaking solemnly, "Our main adversary now is the Demon Clan. In the strategic game with Prince Jing, we must only entertain strategies and tactics. Anyone caught engaging in unsanctioned actions will face dire consequences!"

Instantly, a surge of killing intent swept the room, bringing a terrifying Human Emperor-level threat, chilling everyone to the bone.

Sun Boce swallowed, trembling, "Subordinate understands!"

Sun Boce knew in his heart, Ling Feng's excellence had already sparked Yuan Tiangang's desire to retain talent.

This Grand Commander was extremely self-confident, even a bit arrogant. The more remarkable Ling Feng was, the more Yuan Tiangang wanted to engage with such talent.

For Yuan Tiangang, it was merely a superior's game; everything was under his control, and he savored the enjoyment.

After all, in the Southern Border, it had been far too long since anyone dared to face him like Ling Feng.

Soon, under Prince Jing's lead, thirty thousand troops of the Black Armored Cavalry Army stationed themselves in the fortress, and Grand Commander Yuan Tiangang personally came to greet them.

"Hahaha... Prince Jing, it's been too long!"

Yuan Tiangang wore a warm, welcoming smile, affectionately patting Moo Feng's shoulder. To the uninformed, he might appear as a benevolent elder.

"Indeed, it's been a while, Grand Commander. I missed you greatly!"

Moo Feng chuckled similarly, glancing at Ling Feng and nodding slightly.

As expected, everything was just as Ling Feng predicted—this Grand Commander truly turned a blind eye and greeted them warmly.

"Prince Jing has grown!" Yuan Tiangang laughed heartily, "Previously, I worried that the Prince wasn't mature enough, hence your station at Iron Wolf City. Now, my concerns seem completely unfounded; the Prince excels beyond my expectations!"

"Old fox!"

Ling Feng cursed inwardly. This old guy, with a few words, wiped away past events cleanly, speaking more smoothly than singing!

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, bowed, and smiled, "Grand Commander, actually being able to alleviate a bit of your burden, wiping out fifty thousand Demon Clan soldiers with less than five thousand casualties, was merely a trifling matter. With Prince Jing's talent, such minor accomplishments shouldn't warrant accolades!"

Yuan Tiangang's mouth twitched slightly—no need to claim credit, then why expound so specifically?

Still, Yuan Tiangang remained Yuan Tiangang, wearing a strained smile and said, "Haha, Prince Jing's capabilities are evident to all. Achievements, big or small, naturally deserve rewards!"

"Haha, Grand Commander is indeed fair!" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow with a smile.

"Hehe..."

Yuan Tiangang chuckled dryly, then led Moo Feng and his entourage to the Commander Tent for a banquet—celebrating Prince Jing's accomplishments and welcoming Huo Yuanyi and other generals of the Black Armored Cavalry Army.

The banquet's atmosphere was naturally a bit peculiar; Ling Feng and friends drank cheerfully, whereas Yuan Tiangang's confidants drank in frustration.

Especially Lee Qing and Wang Meng, silent throughout the banquet, indulging only in their liquor.

After the banquet, Ling Feng received an appointment—his title as General Wei Yuan remained unchanged. Yuan Tiangang allocated three Vanguard Camps, ten infantry camps, and two elite Earth Dragon Cavalry Camps, totaling forty to fifty thousand troops.

After all, with Ling Feng now establishing battle accomplishments and being named General by the Sky White Monarch himself, coupled with Moo Feng's current prominence, Yuan Tiangang had to extend a bit of military authority to Ling Feng, the General Wei Yuan.

Though just forty to fifty thousand troops were minimal for Ling Feng's military rank, it was nevertheless a good start.

At least, Yuan Tiangang had taken the first step back!

Moreover, under his command remained the elite Black Armored Cavalry Army—this thirty thousand strong force effectively equated to three hundred thousand troops!

"Grand Commander, I have a humble request," Ling Feng bowed to Yuan Tiangang and said boldly, "Could the Grand Commander assign the troops of Lee Bufan, Jiang Xiaofan, Mu Qianxue, and Lin Xian'er under my command?"

"Haha, they are your classmates and friends. Your request is only natural." Yuan Tiangang nodded and squinted with a chuckle, "Very well, as you wish!"

"Thank you, Grand Commander!"

Ling Feng bowed again in gratitude, yet noticing Yuan Tiangang's gaze, it seemed this old fox agreeing so readily concealed ulterior motives.

Regardless, Ling Feng had fulfilled his promise to Lee Bufan and the others.

They would become his deputy generals, battling alongside him once more from then onward.
