“Have Bahram proceed as planned . Compared to an Arabia which might possibly face unrest, the Central Plains has greater need of him and his Aswaran Cataphracts . Moreover, so long as my flag still flies, the Arabs will always be somewhat afraid .

“Let’s do this . Pass on my order to let out a rumor that if Arabia rebels again, I’ll pay another visit to Baghdad, but this time, I’ll withdraw all my mercy and massacre the entire city!”

Wang Chong’s eyes glinted with an intimidating light .

The Arabs were a pugnacious and fierce people . These people only respected absolute strength and would not take virtue and kindness seriously . They would simply regard this as the actions of a weakling .

These last words were meant to intimidate the Arabs, but if the Arabs really did try to attack the Tang garrison in Baghdad as the Central Plains fell into discord, Wang Chong would turn that threat into reality without hesitation .

Arabia no longer had a Behemoth Army, or Khatabah . There was nothing left in that entire empire that could oppose Wang Chong!

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Old Eagle bowed .

He had more respect and admiration for Wang Chong than anyone else!

“As for those rumors, ignore them for now!”

Wang Chong faintly smiled .

He was completely focused on dealing with An Yaluoshan and the coming apocalypse . Those so-called rumors weren’t even worth laughing about . Only those people anxious for fame and fortune would care about such things .

Besides, Li Heng was the Lord of Resurgence, not the Lord of Envy .

“However, we can’t just let him be! Old Eagle, find some people to spread the stories about our encounters with the honeyed words of Sage Minister Li Linfu, and the story about what happened with the Jiangxi Pei Clan! I trust that this will keep our Lord Prime Minister busy for a while,” Wang Chong said .

“Yes! This subordinate will do so!” Old Eagle energetically said .

The post of Prime Minister required both character and ability!

As the leader of all the officials, the one who presided over all court affairs, the Prime Minister was watched by all and was to serve as a model of virtue for the realm . If his character was lacking, he would lose the right to be Prime Minister!

For someone like Li Linfu, who had chased after fame and fortune for half of his life, this would be even worse than killing him .

Moreover, while Wang Chong had been rather restrained and only told him to spread some rumors, Old Eagle would not be so polite .

Since Li Linfu had started it, he couldn’t blame Wang Chong for responding in kind!

Old Eagle would not let him relax!

He would not permit anyone to harm his liege!

Now that he had Wang Chong’s permission, Old Eagle quickly departed .

Once Old Eagle was gone, Wang Chong turned grim, his smile vanishing .

“Come out!”

Wang Chong’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft as it rang out in the empty hall .

There was no response .

Just when one could have believed that Wang Chong was delusional…

“Grand Protector is in the shadows . Master, are you not worried that Genesis Supreme will attack the Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian as he heads toward the Cang Province?” An aloof voice, devoid of emotion, rang out in the hall .

There was a flash, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of Wang Chong .

Whoosh! A gust of wind ruffled the man’s black robes, but they produced no sound .

Most striking of all was the black metal mask on the man’s face, so cold and emotionless that it seemed like there was only an empty shell beneath it .

The faceless man!

Former Governor of Jiange Zhang Qiantuo!

“Paying respects to Master!”

The faceless man bowed .

His entire body was so cold and bereft of vitality that it didn’t seem alive .

It had been a long time since the war of the southwest, and the faceless man had never taken off his mask . After nearly three years, Wang Chong didn’t even know what he looked like anymore .

This man existed purely for revenge, like a machine going through its routines . Not even Wang Chong dared to imagine what he looked like now .

“You’re here!” Wang Chong coldly said, nodding at the faceless man as if he was not at all surprised by his appearance .

In truth, Wang Chong had already sensed his energy while he was meeting with King Song and the others .

“Genesis Supreme is too proud . Those at his level regard themselves as gods and will not move lightly . He would not have chosen An Yaluoshan otherwise . In addition, I’ve already ordered Wang Zhongsi to be inconspicuous and send only his deputies first . There is no need for him to personally go just yet . ”

Wang Chong was not surprised by the faceless man’s questions .

The faceless man was once the Governor of Jiange, and he belonged to the same era as Wang Zhongsi . The majority of that era’s generals revered this loyal Great General . Zhang Qiantuo had already been hurt by the men in black, and he had asked this question clearly because he did not wish for Wang Zhongsi to retrace his steps .

It was impossible to see the expression on the faceless man’s face, the black mask remaining cold and chilly, but the slight nod he gave indicated that he understood Wang Chong’s plans .

Wang Chong quickly turned to inspect the faceless man .

“Not bad . You’ve gotten even stronger than our last meeting and are extremely close to the Great General level . However, you’re still too impatient . You must have absorbed the energies of quite a number of people recently!” Wang Chong suddenly said .

Although the faceless man had concealed his energy so well that it was nigh undetectable, Wang Chong, with his True World ability, could tell at a glance that his body was even more bursting with energy than before .

But these Stellar Energies were in a chaotic state, indicating that they were Stellar Energies absorbed from others .

The faceless man had learned Wang Chong’s Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, but he was in too much of a rush, not even taking time to calm and work on his foundation . Perhaps he believed that if he could take revenge, it didn’t even matter if his body exploded in a gruesome death .

With this sort of personality, even if he practiced the most righteous of arts, he would still suffer from a cultivation defect and eventually die a most violent death .

Bang!

With a wave of his sleeve, Wang Chong sent golden Origin Immortal Stellar Energy, as dazzling as the sun, into the faceless man’s body, helping him convert the unruly energies within him .

The faceless man stood there and allowed Wang Chong to convert this energy, as if his body belonged to someone else .

“You were injured?” Wang Chong asked with a frown .

Wang Chong could sense an extremely cold and powerful energy inside the faceless man’s body . The faceless man’s organs had clearly been damaged, and very badly . Even though the faceless man had done his best to treat it, it had still left behind some hidden wounds .

But the faceless man could not hide this from Wang Chong .

“Yes . I encountered an extremely formidable opponent .

“I wanted to ambush him, but I was discovered,” the faceless man woodenly said, his voice completely flat . It seemed like he was describing a most ordinary encounter .

Wang Chong imperceptibly frowned . The faceless man cultivated the complete version of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, and his extremeness had led him to advance at a frenzied pace .

Thus, anyone who could severely injure his internal organs could not be an ordinary person!

And to escape from this sort of individual would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens . If the faceless man was standing before him now, it meant that the matter was not as simple as he made it out to be .

But as the faceless man was not willing to speak, Wang Chong did not pursue the question .

“…Compared to my injuries, there is another matter that I hope Master will take more seriously . This is the primary reason for my return!”

The faceless man broached the reason for his visit on his own .

Wang Chong’s brow rose as he asked, “You found the base of the men in black?”

“Mm!”

The faceless man firmly nodded .

“However, it is not their base, but a massive ‘teleportation gate’!”

Buzz!

Boom! Wang Chong shuddered, his face instantly turning grave .

A teleportation gate!

Wang Chong was extremely familiar with this term, even though it would draw nothing but blank expressions from the people of the Central Plains .

The otherworldly invaders had come through teleportation gates!

Wang Chong had never imagined that the faceless man would find one of them .

“Where is it?” Wang Chong sternly asked, sitting up straight on his throne .

“The northwest!” the faceless man said .

“The Western Regions?”

Wang Chong slightly frowned .

The Western Regions were not as prosperous as the Central Plains, and they were full of small kingdoms and various peoples . Had the men in black already gotten so bold?

They had set up a teleportation gate in the northwest!

“No, even farther northwest!”

The faceless man shook his head .

“Following the response from the metal sphere, I left from Suiye and traveled northwest . After fifteen days and nights of travel, I was in a place devoid of human habitation, extremely far from the capital . But there, I saw a ‘sea on the land’!”

“A sea on the land?”

Wang Chong was taken aback .

The sea was the sea!

The land was the land!

The land had lakes and rivers, not seas!

This was a fact that everyone knew .

For the faceless man to say that he found a ‘sea on the land’ in the northwest was incredibly bizarre . It was a description that didn’t make sense .

“The northwest… fifteen days and nights… a sea on the land…”

Wang Chong recalled the region of the continent that the faceless man had described, estimating the general location from the directions given…

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and his body shuddered in understanding!
