Cao Huan hurried forward to greet them, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Good, good, it's good that you've returned alive! Where is Chen Aiqing, is he still alive? Are we to flee to Beiliang now?"

"What are you talking about?"
Cui Zhichen frowned and said: "Chen Sansi set Chibi ablaze days ago, utterly defeating the enemy army. The 400,000-strong naval forces of Jiangnan have vanished into thin air."
Vanished into thin air!
"Utterly defeated the enemy army?!"
Cao Huan was shocked.

Zhongjue Hall.
"Chen the Hunter was only capable of such petty tricks!"
Regent King Qin said coldly: "Sending troops through Ziwu Valley, it sounded impressive, but in the end, didn't he just scurry back to Chibi to meet his death!"
