Chapter 217 - 156: Acquiring the Earth Soul, Losing the Sense of Taste_2

Gu Wen’s Divine Thought probed out, silently observing how Jiang Jucai managed to suppress the situation.
At that time, the Nanchun Army was in a state of silence. Except for those on guard duty, all soldiers were forbidden to leave their tents, and no one was allowed to move within the camp.
This was to avoid causing chaos when killing Jiang Jucai and to prevent the reputation of grinding axes after the donkey’s work is done. The leadership of the Nanchun Army wanted benefits, reputation, safety from danger, and also to hold onto power.
They wanted to take all the advantages for themselves.
But the eyes of the people were clear. They knew who was fighting the wars, even if they might not respond to it.
Jiang Jucai walked out of the commander’s tent. Most soldiers were unaware of what had happened inside. Relying on the commanding prestige of a general and his renowned ability to slay demons, he could navigate with ease. He then made his way to Ma Jun’s camp and within roughly ten minutes, he had mustered several hundred men.
Step by step, they took control of the order in the camp. Some sensed something was amiss but were powerless against Ma Jun soldiers who had the initiative.

Screams had already begun to echo, and a sinister atmosphere seeped through the camp, making everyone feel endangered and more agitated.
