2026-08-16 09:52:21The thick brown floodwaters continued to rage, mercilessly drowning the ground floor of Xuzhou city. The smell of dirty mud, dead rats, and rotten wood permeated the air heavily. The roar of the water crashing against the stone pillars sounded like the laughter of the god of death throwing a feast.
On the second floor of the palace, still safe from the rising water, the remnants of the Bingzhou faction’s top brass gathered in a makeshift hall. The atmosphere inside

Chapter 188: The First Decree as a House Arrest Prisoner
Jo Fan ignored the screen. He dropped his hands from his chest. He then looked at Lu Bu with a pale smile that radiated the arrogance of an architect of fate."Good." Jo Fan said quietly. He used a sharp tone full of political calculation. "Stand up, General Lu. I accept your oath. But you have to remember one important rule."Lu Bu stood up with Diao Chan's help. The giant listened intently."Starting tomorrow, you have to be the most obedient dog for Cao Cao." Jo Fan instructed bluntly. "Accept that tyrant's luxuries. Enjoy his gold, take the titles he gives you, and collect your free paycheck in peace. Let Cao Cao believe that this tiger is truly tamed. Never show your fangs, even if the other Wei generals spit in your face."Jo Fan stepped forward half a pace. He looked straight at Diao Chan."Protect Lady Diao Chan's pregnancy. Your main priority right now is making sure tha
Chapter 187: Oath Upon the Ruins
The night wind blowing across Xuzhou carried the foul stench of horse carcasses, mud puddles, and charred wood. The floodwaters had completely receded. However, the devastation left behind made the grand city look like a neglected mass grave. Wei faction soldiers were busy throwing victory parties in the main barracks. They celebrated the subjugation of the God of War by chugging liquor and looting what was left of the city's wealth.Under the shadow of the victorious army's negligence, two male figures sneaked through the dark streets covered in ankle-deep mud.Jo Fan walked with a firm stride. His boots squeaked softly every time he pulled them out of the muck. There was no more wooden wheelchair restricting his movements. Both of his legs functioned perfectly. They supported his body wrapped in a dark gray robe. To his left, Zhao Yun walked like a black panther. The silver dragon knight kept his right hand on the hilt of his sword. His ice-cold eyes swept through every corner of th
Chapter 186: The Brain's Submission and the Tiger's Revenge
The courtyard of the White Gate Tower in Xuzhou had become a stage of absolute victory for Cao Mengde. The Tyrant stood with his maroon cape blowing in the wind. His chest puffed out with pride. He had just managed to secure the deadliest cavalry force of this era, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, without shedding a single drop of his own army's blood in open combat.However, the military tribunal that morning wasn't completely over yet. There was still one high-profile prisoner who hadn't given his answer."Bring the scholar to me," Cao Cao ordered as he sat back down in the teakwood chair prepared by his servants.Two Wei soldiers dragged Chen Gong to the center of the courtyard. The dull blue robe worn by the Bingzhou faction's former chief advisor was stained with leftover flood mud. Unlike Lu Bu who had knelt earlier, Chen Gong swatted the guards' hands away and stood tall. The genius scholar looked at Cao Cao with his chin ra
Chapter 185: The White Devil's Secret Code
The leather boot, caked in Xuzhou mud, was finally lifted from the God of War's head. Cao Mengde stared at the golden-armored giant still bowing at his feet. A massive smile of pure satisfaction stretched across his face. The invisible wave of pheromones emitted by Jo Fan had completely ignited the Wei Prime Minister's megalomania. Cao Cao felt like an absolute god holding the fate of the Chinese mainland in his hands.Moving slowly and with high theatricality, Cao Cao drew a short dagger from his waist. The tyrant leaned down and cut the thick ship ropes binding Lu Bu's neck, chest, and arms.The thick ropes, soaked in fresh blood, hit the courtyard of the White Gate Tower with a heavy thud. Lu Bu coughed violently. He sucked as much oxygen into his lungs as he could. The torn wound on his right waist throbbed painfully, but he forced his trembling legs to support his giant frame and stand."Stand up, Fengxian," Cao Cao
Chapter 184: Hijacking the History of the Han Dynasty
Jo Fan's left hand grip on Liu Bei's shoulder felt incredibly strong. It pierced through the layers of cloth armor worn by the Imperial Uncle. The silvery-white-haired young man stood on his own two feet, upright and full of authority. There was no longer a wooden wheelchair limiting his movements.In the courtyard of the White Gate Tower, filled with brown mud and the remnants of the flood, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were waiting for one sentence from Liu Bei's mouth. The life of the strongest man in the Chinese mainland now rested on the tip of the tongue of a middle-aged man he had once betrayed.However, inside his genius head, Jo Fan knew that Liu Bei's words alone would never be enough.Cao Mengde was a tyrant with terminal-stage paranoia. This absolute victory would actually make the Wei Prime Minister's brain sort through every risk, no matter how small. If Cao Cao was allowed to think clearly, he would d
Chapter 183: The White Tower Trial and the Bloody Deal
The floodwaters that drowned Xuzhou slowly began to recede. It left behind an apocalyptic scene that froze the soul. The city's stone streets were now covered in ankle-deep brown mud. Horse carcasses, splinters of wooden shields, and swollen corpses of soldiers were scattered in every corner. The stench of death and dirty water evaporated thickly under the pale morning sun.The joint Wei and Shu-Han forces stepped inside through the completely ruined main gate.In the front row, Jo Fan walked briskly. His boots stepped firmly into the mud puddles. There was no longer a wooden wheelchair limiting his movements. The instant healing from the Osteo-Max Capsule had restored all his motor nerve functions. The sensation of stepping on the earth with his own two feet gave the silvery-white-haired young man an incredible euphoria.Damn, walking on my own two feet feels incredibly good, Jo Fan thought with a slight smirk. His eyes
