It must be the Prince!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Rui’an stared at the horizon above Bailian City, where the sky had suddenly collapsed, dark clouds rolling in and thunder crackling with terrifying force, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Prince had fallen to Chi Huo Zunzhe, the Luoshen Peak Patriarch and the others would have had no reason to act at all—it must be that the Prince won… even killed him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Rui’an was overwhelmed with excitement, suddenly spinning around to stare straight at Fu Qiwén beside him, babbling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember—I remember! The Prince once said he was the greatest under heaven—no one in this world could match him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Hu Rui’an burst into wild laughter, drawing startled glances from the surrounding Tianjinwei soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qiwén watched Hu Rui’an’s frenzied state; though he had always concealed his true emotions no matter the crisis, his face now wore unmistakable shock and doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reined his horse to a stop, gazing upward at the thunderous clouds above Bailian City—the terrifying celestial spectacle resembling divine retribution—and fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the faint trembling of his hands beneath his sleeves revealed the storm raging within him—wild, turbulent, and uncontainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Commander of the Da Li Tianjinwei, Fu Qiwén had wielded immense power; he had experienced everything he should and should not have faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long cultivated a heart unshaken even by mountains collapsing before him—even when Emperor Wuwu had ordered his execution on the spot, he could face it with calm indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this scene—or more precisely, the shock and exhilaration brought by the Eighth Prince—left him utterly unable to maintain even a shred of composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qiwén was no fool; on the contrary, he was perceptive and brilliant, and could easily deduce what had likely transpired within Bailian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he found it unbelievable, could not fathom that Chi Huo Zunzhe—who had nearly cost him his life to oppose—might have perished at Li Muxian’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet every detail unfolding before him proved it beyond doubt, forcing him to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was more than willing to believe and accept it; indeed, a surge of excitement—long dormant within him—rose in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he even felt an inexplicable urge to cry out to the heavens, laughing wildly like Hu Rui’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To dispel the earlier gloom and release the repression brought by Chi Huo Zunzhe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after a moment, Fu Qiwén took a deep breath, steadying his inner turmoil, then turned to look at Hu Rui’an, who was nearly dancing in his saddle, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t celebrate too soon. Even if the Prince truly defeated Chi Huo Zunzhe, we don’t know if he’s wounded or how he fares now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And he still must face the Luoshen Peak Patriarch and the other Zunzhe—can he withstand them? That remains uncertain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly doused with cold water, Hu Rui’an’s expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he calmed down, lifting his gaze toward Bailian City, a flicker of worry returning to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant sight of rolling dark clouds, thunder splitting the air, and violet lightning streaking across the sky seemed even more terrifying than the earlier fire sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Rui’an frowned, his expression turning grave; he was about to speak when Fu Qiwén glanced at him and cut in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax—I was just trying to snap you out of it, deliberately startling you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Prince’s martial prowess truly surpassed Chi Huo Zunzhe, then the Luoshen Peak Patriarch and the other Zunzhe would hardly be able to harm him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if the Prince is wounded, he can easily escape Bailian City before the Patriarch and the others arrive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hu Rui’an shot Fu Qiwén a sharp look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, if Fu Qiwén weren’t his superior and he weren’t outmatched in strength, he wouldn’t have remained so silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fu Qiwén ignored Hu Rui’an entirely, instead summoning the messenger officer. After a brief pause, he issued his order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Carry my command to all Tianjinwei units: The Eighth Prince of Da Li has achieved divine martial mastery, slaying the Luoshen Peak Chi Huo Zunzhe alone, and now stands alone against the Luoshen Peak Patriarch and his cadre of Zunzhe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Prince leads from the front; we, who eat the Emperor’s grain and serve the realm, have no excuse for retreat—we shall give our lives to repay the court and the state, and die without yielding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished, the messenger officer looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned by the content of Fu Qiwén’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eighth Prince—martial mastery divine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single-handedly slew Chi Huo Zunzhe, who had burned the heavens with a sea of fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else had spoken these words, he would not have believed a single syllable—but now, the speaker was the foremost man of the Da Li Tianjinwei, the mighty Commander of Da Li, whose words shook court and realm alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word carried weight enough to stir the entire empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger officer’s expression shifted, his eyes involuntarily glancing toward the sky above Bailian City, his spirit trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fu Qiwén’s voice echoed in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send the hawk-message to all divisions at once—do not delay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger officer snapped back to attention, asked no further questions, immediately replied, and hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Hu Rui’an’s eyes flickered, then he frowned at Fu Qiwén:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, what are you…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fu Qiwén raised a hand to stop him, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you will command this division. Remember—take Yuxing City, but do not rush toward Yuxing Peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Hu Rui’an’s expression changed instantly, and he asked urgently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qiwén turned his gaze toward Bailian City and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must go to Bailian City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-20T01:43:39.330Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a8852ac481490f5ce748e605f949b59d88bf5ed6f9e77435b230b60360811de9","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-248","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-246",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
