Records of the Human Emperor Chapter 1720: Duan Zhuyan's Strength!

"How was it?"

Upon seeing Wang Chong return, Bai Siling and Li Lin both went up to welcome him, concern on their faces. The crowd around the drilling ground was so dense that they had not been able to clearly make out the scene on that side.

"Everything has been handled," Wang Chong nonchalantly said, glossing over the entire incident, and then quickly turned his focus back to the drilling ground.

The First Prince angrily turned to Meng Tu.

Eleven of the twelve Vice Marshals had followed the plan, but the last one had gone astray.

"What's the name of that Vice Marshal?"

The First Prince had a dark and sinister look on his face.

"He seemed to have been called Wei Xiyuan," Meng Tu said.
