Considering the anger Xiao Nianci had just displayed, anyone observant could figure it out.
This acting Director of the Inspection Department's decision to heavily promote and utilize Chen Cheng was likely just a smokescreen.
Her true intention was probably to use these four Chiefs of the Imperial Guard to kill Chen Cheng on the spot.
After all, these four Chiefs of the Imperial Guard were all Martial Artists of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, a full major Realm above Chen Cheng.
The five Body Refining Realms are Skin Grinding, Muscle Strengthening, Bone Forging, Marrow Cleansing, and Organ Refining. With each advancement to a new Realm, one's power increased dramatically.
In a life-or-death battle, a confrontation between a high-Realm and a low-Realm Martial Artist was almost always a one-sided slaughter!
Even a Martial Artist at Small Success in the Muscle Strengthening Realm could easily defeat three to five Martial Artists at Skin Grinding Realm Perfection.
