### Summary
The arc shatters expectations as the Hi Shin Unit’s mission to quell a rebellion is revealed to be a lie; its supposed leader, Prince Sei Kyou, is the victim of a venomous conspiracy orchestrated by Chancellor Ryo Fui. This high-stakes conflict immediately tests Qin’s next generation, as the brilliant Ouhon unveils a strategic masterstroke that completely outmaneuvers the Hi Shin Unit’s strategist, Karyo Ten, forcing a humbled Xin to rely on his raw instincts to keep pace. While the young commanders vie for supremacy on the battlefield, the full horror of the conspiracy unfolds within the city of Tunliu. Sei Kyou is cornered not by an invading army, but by a devastating betrayal from within his own ranks by his trusted subordinate, Ryuutou. The arc climaxes as Xin, in a desperate charge, finally breaches the city gates, only to arrive too late. He witnesses the prince die a redeemed man, his final moments cementing his transformation from a bitter rival into a noble ally who entrusts his will and his wife’s safety to the king. Fueled by inherited conviction, Xin unleashes his fury, personally striking down the traitor Ryuutou in a visceral display of loyalty. In the aftermath, the tragedy galvanizes King Ei Sei’s faction, with Sei Kyou’s widow, Rui, pledging her unwavering support and resources. The prince’s noble sacrifice becomes the final, irrevocable catalyst, setting a firm deadline—the king’s upcoming Coming of Age Ceremony—for the ultimate political war against Chancellor Ryo Fui.
