So he was the one—the Supreme Martial Commander. The man promoted by the Zhennan Prince to become the War God of the State, the one who planted the war banner in the Barbarian Capital, purged the interest groups with blood, and provoked a desperate counterattack from the nobles that nearly caused widespread turmoil.
Yes, he was that young and that ruthless. Otherwise, why would a man of his stature, the Family Head of the Xuanse Sect's Gan Family, prostrate himself so readily in terror?
Just a short while ago, hadn't the Gan Family sided with the royal clan? Hadn't they publicly condemned the Supreme Martial Commander for numerous supposed crimes? Didn't they demand that Chen Yang take his own life in public, vowing that even if the royal family forgave him, the Gan Family would not rest? Heh… It seemed they had lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
