Iron Madman is wildly ambitious and if he succeeds in his promotion to Fourth Grade, my tenure as governor is likely over, unless I’m willing to kowtow to him.”

Sikong Chan smiled casually, his expression indifferent, “No need to worry, the outcome of today’s event is already determined.

The arrival of my troops here at this point in time means we have already won!

Iron Madman’s end comes today.”

“Oh?” Han Yuyan’s pupils shone brightly.

She could tell from Sikong Chan’s calm words that he was absolutely confident and composed.

Han Yuyan had been married to Sikong Chan for many years and knew this was the attitude of a man who was certain of his victory.

At that moment, both their gazes were drawn to a commotion up ahead.

It was a youth in a sky-blue War Armor, robust in build, who, holding a Heavy Sword, charged into the army formation before them like a crazed bull.

He seemed to have gone mad, charging wildly through the crowd, creating a storm of blood wherever he went.

In just a short moment, he had slain over two hundred men.

However, by this time, five Sixth Grade experts had already leaped into the air from the army and were rapidly heading towards the youth’s direction.

“Is that Tie Niu and Jia Dali?

Commendable courage!”

Sikong Chan, watching from his high vantage point, his eyes filled with appreciation, “After he is slain shortly, make sure he is buried honorably.”

At that moment, Sikong Chan casually flicked his hand, and a shooting white rainbow burst out of the Sword Box behind him, blasting towards Tie Xiaosheng in the sky who was chasing after the Songfeng Sword Lin Shi.

The white rainbow was like a flash of lightning, fast as light.

Tie Xiaosheng had barely sensed something when the white rainbow was already upon him.

“Shatter!”

Tie Xiaosheng swung with all his might, and with the aid of the ‘Iron Futing,’ his sword’s speed reached its peak.

But just as his Heavy Sword was about to clash with the white rainbow, the latter suddenly dispersed, separating into thirty-six white Sword Qi.

Half of them were wiped out by Tie Xiaosheng’s sweep, while the other half hit him head-on.

Using his Vigorous Force to fend off the Sword Qi, Tie Xiaosheng was forced to retreat several dozen feet in the air.

When he steadied himself, he saw Jia Dali’s figure completely engulfed by the opposing army.

His robust body fell powerlessly under the hooves of the cavalry, his head rolling backwards before being trampled into a bloody mess.

Seeing this, Tie Xiaosheng felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Songfeng Sword Lin Shi had landed on the back of the enormous lizard.

His injuries were grievously severe, to the point that the blood he spat out even contained fragments of his organs.

Lin Shi first took out a Jade Bottle and drank all of its pale liquid before speaking with a deathly pale face to Governor Sikong Chan, “This isn’t what you said before.

You told me that Jia Dali’s mind had been ensnared, and today’s plan was foolproof!”

Sikong Chan heard this and smiled wryly, “This was unforeseen.

The Illusion Spirit Sect did indeed send their best Charming Woman, but I didn’t expect Jia Dali’s temperament to be somewhat resilient.

Given the short time, she was unable to completely ensnare him.

However, with Brother Lin’s experience, you should understand that nothing is ever truly foolproof.”

Lin Shi, however, noticed that in that instant, Sikong Chan’s eyes grew sharp and blade-like.

Lin Shi’s breath hitched as he remembered that his life and honor were in the hands of this governor before him,

especially now that he was gravely injured—

He softened his tone, “But what should I do about controlling the Iron Banner Gang next?

If there’s a single survivor today, Iron Madman’s death can’t be pinned on Jia Dali.

Iron Madman has already appointed Chu Xisheng as Young Flag Master, and there’s no way I can compete with him for that, and Chu Xisheng will never let me off the hook.”

Originally, he thought Jia Dali was the perfect candidate to bear the blame for the assassination of the Flag Leader.

But that damned fool had spoiled his nearly successful plan.

Even the surprise attack and assassination of Tie Xiaosheng to seize the ‘Iron Futing’ had ultimately come to nothing.

“Why worry about Chu Xisheng when today’s matter is settled?

Of course, you can forget about leading the Iron Banner Gang,” Sikong Chan laughed, handing over a letter of token, “However, the future I offer you, if properly managed, won’t be that inferior to the Flag Leader of the Iron Banner Gang.”

Lin Shi took the letter of token and examined it, his pupils reflecting a gleam, “Commander of the Tianping Army Navy Camp?”

“Mr.

Governor has already granted me permission to establish a Navy of five thousand under the Tianping banner.

Besides, the remnants of the Haiqing Gang can also be given to you.

This power is sufficient for you to control the Ancient Market and the East City Pier.”

Sikong Chan stood with his hands behind his back, “I, Sikong Chan, am as good as my word.

Since I promised you this future, I won’t go back on it.

But those Mei medicines I asked you to exchange, did you manage it?”

Upon hearing this, a pleased expression surfaced on Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s face.

He clasped his hands together, his demeanor respectful, “I exchanged them two months ago, Iron Madman had no defenses against me, blissfully unaware, he has no chance of surviving this time!”

Just then, he felt a strong tremor on the ground.

Sensing something, Lin Shi turned to look towards Stone Castle.

He saw a familiar figure soaring into the sky from the center of Stone Castle.

—That was Iron Madman, burly and bear-like with a square face and large ears, his coarse short hair piercing the sky like straight javelins.

The only change was that his originally black hair and thick eyebrows had turned grey, as if covered with frost.

Lin Shi looked at the man from afar, his expression complicated, “He’s come out!”

Sikong Chan saw this as well and his lips curved slightly, “It looks like it’s done!

What a pity that the Iron Banner Leader, a hero for a lifetime, ends up dying by the hand of his own people.”

Upon hearing this, Songfeng Sword Lin Shi looked slightly abashed.

Meanwhile, the Governor’s Wife Han Yuyan was beside herself with ecstatic delight.

Iron Madman’s premature emergence meant that his promotion had stopped, and it also meant his end was imminent!
