The beginning of the 3918th year of the Dao Calendar was a relatively peaceful year.There were still constant frictions between the nations, but there were no major events such as the destruction of a country happening for the time being.
On April 13th, a piece of news quickly spread in the southeastern region.
Qu Country and Zheng Country had been archenemies for many years, and there had always been friction at the border.
And on this day, April 13th, the commander of Qu Country's border town, a powerful warrior from the Outer Tower Realm, was assassinated on his way back to the military camp.
It was said that three people made the move, killing the commander of the border town to death, without even giving him a chance to mobilize the army.
The killer claimed to be a killer organization called "Hell's Gate", with no affiliation, only interested in profit. As long as the price was right, there was no target they couldn't kill.
In the eyes of true powerhouses, the impact of this incident was not actually about an emerging killer organization.
In the southeastern region, including Qu Country and Zheng Country, these small countries were actually in a very awkward situation.
To the north was Mu Country, to the east was the territory of Qi Country, and to the southwest was Jing Country.
It could be said that being sandwiched between these powerful countries, there was almost no chance of standing out.
Countries like Yang Country directly attached themselves to Qi Country.
Qu Country and Zheng Country, on the other hand, insisted on being independent countries.
Those with discerning eyes knew that the archenemy relationship between Qu Country and Zheng Country was fundamentally untenable. The friction between the two countries was more like a statement of attitude - the little brother had no ambitions to rise, so the big brothers around could rest assured.
But at this time, the commander of Qu Country's border town was assassinated. It was said that the "archenemy" Zheng Country hired assassins to kill him in order to invade Qu Country.
Isn't this nonsense?
Unfortunately, this seemingly true but false news spread widely in Qu Country, arousing the anger of many soldiers and civilians.
The high-level officials of Qu Country couldn't openly say that everyone should not mistake the target, our enemy is not Zheng Country, but those powerful countries. The public opinion could not be suppressed in time, and it escalated.
As the dominant country in the East, Qi Country, of course, would not be unaware of this.
The Zhongxuan family knew about it, and Zhongxuan Sheng, who had the qualifications to participate in some high-level discussions, also knew about it.
When he mentioned this to Jiang Wang in the Tianfu Secret Realm, Jiang Wang, who was in Yang Country and closer to Qu Country, had no idea. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
"It is said that the leader is a traitor from You Country named Yin Guan," Zhongxuan Sheng said, "Jiang Wang, you seem to know him."
Jiang Wang's heart moved, "I think I know him."
He immediately briefly recounted the encounter with Yin Guan to Zhongxuan Sheng.
After pondering for a while, Zhongxuan Sheng said, "A killer organization that is eager to make a name for itself is not of much value. It probably won't survive for long. The Yin Guan you mentioned, even if he is a genius, is useless. But some things are hard to say. You can contact him if you have the chance. Maybe one day he can be of some use."
Jiang Wang had a black line on his forehead, "You say it's not of much value, but you still want to make use of it as much as possible?"
"We're poor, so we have to be careful with our resources," Zhongxuan Sheng said with a smile, "The child of a poor person grows up early."
After saying these words, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Yin Guan really as talented as you say? Do you think he's better than me?"
Jiang Wang thought about the battle between Yin Guan and Zheng Chaoyang outside the 27 cities of You Country and honestly said, "He should be able to defeat a hundred of you."
Zhongxuan Sheng nodded, "Don't be discouraged."
Jiang Wang asked, "Huh?"
"I can now defeat three of you, which means he can defeat three hundred of you," Zhongxuan Sheng said with a smile, "How desperate do you have to be?"
Just push open the door to the world.
Jiang Wang couldn't argue.
He could only silently make a note in his heart. Fatty, just wait.
"But on the other hand, you really don't need to be impatient," Zhongxuan Sheng said seriously, "We are both taking one step at a time to break through the realms, with a solid foundation. As for Yin Guan, as you said, being in such an environment, he had to fulfill his potential prematurely, which may not be a good thing. He might lack successors."
Zhongxuan Sheng, after all, came from a top-notch family and had a broad vision. He had a clear direction and could see the problems at a glance.
In fact, when Jiang Wang first saw Yin Guan's strength, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate.
There were too many geniuses in this world, and he was afraid of being eliminated by the times and unable to control his own destiny.
This was reflected in his efforts to seize every moment to cultivate, not only because of his desire for revenge, but also because of this sense of urgency that time waits for no one.
Back in Tangshe Town, Zhang Linqian had said, "Every moment is urgent."
It was also a heartfelt exclamation.
"I understand," Jiang Wang said.
Taking Zhongxuan Sheng as an example, although he had only reached the Tenglong Realm in terms of his meridians, it was only a matter of thought to achieve the Inner Palace Realm. He wouldn't choose to do so precisely because he wanted to go further in the future.
Now he was certainly not as powerful as Yin Guan, but in the future, it might not be the case.
Before the conversation ended, Jiang Wang casually asked about the possibility of spreading the Fuhu Technique.
Zhongxuan Sheng's attitude was casual, "Since the Dao Technique has been given to you, how you handle it is your own business. Even if you announce it to the world now, it doesn't matter."
"Of course, don't think about joining the Performance of the Dao Platform to exchange for contributions," Zhongxuan Sheng said, smiling slyly, "Because I've already done that."
Jiang Wang: "..."
...
After another round of resounding defeats, Jiang Wang exited the Tai Xu Illusory Realm and decided not to spar with the fatty in the short term.
He had had enough of the fatty's smug look. Besides, he was just a poor commoner, and it wasn't a good thing to keep giving this rich man free benefits.Jiang Wang didn't pay much attention to the organization called "Hell Has No Doors". The affairs of Mo Country and Zheng Country, after all, couldn't possibly involve Yang Country.
"Hell Has No Doors, Hell Has No Doors."
Murmuring this name, Jiang Wang couldn't help but recall the bitter curse of the white-haired old woman in the Twenty-Seven City.
"I curse you with my flesh and blood, my hair, my life, my everything! I am willing to tread through the hell of knives and plunge into the hell of fire, as long as you... suffer the same pain as I do!"
Such deep-seated hatred.
Could such a city, such a country... really have a future?
...
After finishing his evening class, Jiang Wang was meditating.
Buddhism says "merit is never wasted".
People interpret it as "effort is never wasted".
The "merit" in Buddhism, which simply refers to the virtue of Buddhism, has been expanded to "effort" that can refer to all kinds of hard work.
It means that all the merits and efforts in the world will not be in vain.
Jiang Wang believed in this principle.
It was already late at night when he suddenly heard a gust of wind.
The wind squeezed into the window, gently swirling.
In a shadow, a cold light burst forth.
Jiang Wang suddenly opened his eyes, activating the Tiger Binding!
The opponent was taken aback and broke free from the binding of the wood energy. He was still in the air when he changed direction.
Jiang Wang understood that his Tiger Binding had been displayed too many times. If someone wanted to deal with him, they would definitely be prepared for it.
Fortunately, he didn't put all his hopes on the Tiger Binding.
The Longing Sword was lying across his knees, humming in its sheath.
Clang!
Suddenly, a yellow talisman floated out and stuck to the sword. The Longing Sword was instantly silenced.
It was temporarily sealed.
The opponent obviously knew about Jiang Wang's fighting style and had made a lot of preparations.
The shadow was close now, but suddenly, what he saw was not Jiang Wang, but a flower, many flowers, a sea of flowers.
An illusion technique, Sea of Flowers.
The shadow quickly calmed his mind and concentrated, dispelling the illusion and looking for the real location of his target.
One flower bloomed after another, seemingly endless.
Jiang Wang was clearly sitting at the head of the bed, but it seemed like he was at the end of the world.
The shadow suddenly felt a warning in his heart, and quickly threw out a yellow talisman, only to see it explode in front of him.
It turned out that the flower just now was not an illusion, but a Flame Flower mixed in the Sea of Flowers by Jiang Wang.
After so much research and practice, Jiang Wang couldn't set a city on fire with Flame Flowers, but replacing the flowers in the Sea of Flowers with Flame Flowers was not difficult. Moreover, the mix of reality and illusion was hard to defend against.
A strong wind blew, pushing the Flame Flowers that could cause actual damage to the front. The shadow took the opportunity to burn a piece of talisman paper and wiped it across his eyes.
He finally saw Jiang Wang!
But he only saw a thorny crown flashing above Jiang Wang's head.
The wood energy in the shadow's body suddenly erupted, and the measures he had prepared this time were unable to resist it.
Thorny Crown, stacked with Tiger Binding.
The shadow stopped in place, and by the time he broke free, Jiang Wang was already standing by his side.
He placed the sheathed Longing Sword on his spine.
The faintly sharp sword aura told him that as soon as Jiang Wang exhaled his sword aura, his Sky Palace would be destroyed.
Years of hard cultivation would turn to ashes!
