Cavalry officer, later Divine Generalcultivation level unspecifiedGreat Zhou Army

Chen Chou is a disgraced Great Zhou officer whose decision to rescue a dying array master leads to his rehabilitation as Divine General of Mount Song. (Chapters 798–806)

Biography

Mercy and rehabilitation

Transferred from the Seven Li Xi encampment to Mount Song and left without meaningful duties, Chen Chou encounters a critically wounded young array master during a patrol with An Hua. He chooses to carry the man toward treatment rather than abandon him, even though the rescue draws him into the secret surrounding the Cinnabar Pill and a politically charged investigation. An Hua later testifies that Chen alone helped her save the wounded man. That evidence, and the revelation surrounding the pill's owner, reverse Chen's position: he is appointed the new Divine General of Mount Song headquarters and begins his first patrol in command. (Chapters 798–806)

Appearance and personality

No detailed physical description is given. Chen Chou is nervous when questioned by far more powerful officials, but his earlier conduct shows compassion and professional responsibility: with little status to protect and no clear reward, he still assists a dying stranger. (Chapters 800–804)

Abilities and cultivation

Chen Chou has practical cavalry and patrol-command experience sufficient for later appointment as Divine General. The supplied evidence does not name his cultivation realm or a combat technique, so his promotion is best understood through demonstrated judgment and the political outcome of the inquiry rather than an explicitly shown breakthrough. (Chapters 798 and 806)

Relationships

  • An Hua: An Hua accompanies Chen during the rescue and later publicly identifies him as the only officer who helped her. Her testimony is central to his rehabilitation. (Chapters 798–804)
  • Chen Changsheng: Chen Chou's act of mercy preserves a trail leading to the hidden owner of the Cinnabar Pill, who is revealed to be Chen Changsheng. (Chapters 800–802)

Items

  • No named personal item: Chen Chou's important scenes concern patrol duty and the transport of a wounded man, not a documented weapon or artifact. (Chapters 798–806)
