"Bad news doesn't exist if you don't say it. You don't have to say it, "Jiang Wang said.
Zhao Xuanyang covered his face with his hands and rubbed it. "Alright!"
At this time, Jiang Wang was still sitting cross-legged on the millstone-like boulder, and he was standing not far away from the boulder.
Perhaps it was because he had just walked around the cave, but this abandoned and withered Ancient Devil's Cave seemed to have been injected with a sense of vitality.
Ripples in the stagnant water.
Zhao Xuanyang was more willing to interpret it as his own emotional fluctuations.
He said, "Two days ago, an outstanding junior brother of mine suddenly disappeared while training in a bewildering world."
Jiang Wang was puzzled. "Isn't that normal in a place like a bewildering world?"
Zhao Xuanyang glanced at him. "It's different from when you went to the bewildering world. When my junior brother went to the bewildering world, although he didn't have any experts accompanying him, he had demarcated the area in advance, ascertained the strength of the sea race, and determined the difficulty of the trial. It's reasonable to say that the probability of him dying in battle is less than ten percent. And during that time, the bewildering world didn't shift. "
Why were the strong always strong? Because the stronger a force was, the better it could protect their future.
"Alright!" Jiang Wang didn't have any feelings of envy or jealousy. He only asked, "So what do you think the variable is?"
"Naturally, we can't make wild guesses about this kind of thing, so Xian Shuai personally went to the bewildering world to seal off the area and thoroughly investigate this matter … but he was stopped by Qi Zhenren. He said that Jing Guo went missing in Tianjiao. If you want the truth, you have to give Qi Tianjiao the truth first. "
The Xian Shuai Zhao Xuanyang mentioned was naturally the commander of the God's Will Army, Xian Nankui, who had maintained order at the Yellow River Conference. And Qi Xiao, who was guarding Jue Ming Island, had personally stopped him, which could be seen as proof that the conflict between Qi and Jing had intensified.
"It's reasonable," Jiang Wang said, "the bewildering world isn't a place for just one person, and the sea race isn't a weakling who can be trampled on. Sealing off the area of the bewildering world and thoroughly investigating the so-called truth isn't a simple matter. Of course, we can't just do whatever we say. "
Zhao Xuanyang glanced at him and pointed his index finger. "Some people up there think that this is Qi's to threaten us. Of course, I don't think Qi will attack our warriors in the bewildering world battlefield.. "
"It's obvious that no one in the Kingdom of Qi would take the lead." Jiang Wang shook his head and asked, "Then who do you think it is?"
"Who can say for sure?" Zhao Xuanyang said. "We have too many enemies."
"So far …" Jiang Wang frowned. "It seems to be good news for me."
Zhao Xuanyang did not comment on that, nor did he say anything like "Why don't you think for me?". He simply said, "Then listen to the next news. Monk Ku Jue has been chasing us for three days, but he failed to catch up with us. The Xuankong Temple has ordered him to go back. Master Ku Ming has stated that the Xuankong Temple has no intention of interfering in the disputes of the nations. ..........................
.. "..........."... Jiang Wang was still able to laugh. "That doesn't sound bad."
Zhao Xuanyang always put him and Jiang Wang on the same side. He put Ku Jue, who had been searching the Western Region and trying to rescue Jiang Wang, as the villain.
He always said "we"...
. Jiang Wang heard so much that he couldn't be bothered to refute.
"Logically speaking, that's the case." Zhao Xuanyang said softly.
"So what's not logically speaking?" Jiang Wang asked calmly.
"You know." Zhao Xuanyang sighed. "Zhuang Gaoxian swore that the evidence he presented could withstand investigation and that what he said was definitely the truth. But many people in the country, including me, don't believe him. So … "
"So I can't go to Mount Yujing?" Jiang Wang smiled. "Because of the pressure from Qi, Chu, and Mu, the truth is no longer yours to manipulate. Is it because your Jing Country feels that the matter of me being in possession of the devil cannot withstand a public investigation? Because of Qi's attitude in the Bewildering World, the Jing State feels that it has been provoked? "
Those who wronged you knew better than you how wronged you were.
Those who pretended to be deceived were actually more clear-headed than anyone else.
Adding insult to injury was a simple matter. What did it have to do with them whether the person in the well died or not?
Because of Qi's tit-for-tat response and because of the rare and similar stances of the three Great Empires, the "public trial" on Mount Yujing could no longer be controlled by the Jing State alone.
In the end, the Ancient Treaty of Demon-Slaying was a treaty that the human race respected.
The three Great Empires of Qi, Chu, and Mu combined were more representative of the human race than the Jing State!
The higher-ups of the Jing State never believed Zhuang Gaoxian, nor did they believe that Jiang Wang was in cahoots with demons.
Before they used Jiang Wang to attack Qi, they probably didn't think that Qi would have such a strong reaction. Now that they were riding a tiger, it was hard to stop.
The Jing State couldn't slap their own face in front of the world.
So the "public trial" couldn't continue!
There were many ways to end the public trial early. Taking the initiative to withdraw the charges and admit their mistakes was one way. Another way was for the "suspect" to meet with an accident.
The Jing State wouldn't admit wrongly.
Even if they were pressured by the three Great Empires, they wouldn't back down.
So it wasn't hard to imagine what choice they would make.
But …
Was this the Jing State?
Was this the Central Empire that had existed for so long and was known as the number one empire in the world?
The Ancient Treaty of Demon-Slaying once saved the human race from danger. In the modern world, it was reduced to a weapon of war?
So Jiang Wang was laughing.
Zhao Xuanyang was silent for a moment and said, "Your friends from other countries probably didn't expect this. They helped you, but they harmed you. "
"No, no, no." Jiang Wang laughed and shook his head, "They were never the ones who harmed me. I can't say that the brave ones angered the villains, so the brave ones are accomplices. This doesn't make sense. Who is helping me, who is harming me … "
He pointed at his heart, "The human heart has its own scale."
Zhao Xuanyang laughed bitterly, "You're making me feel ashamed."
Jiang Wang laughed, "Then why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the light? Abandon the old Jing State and turn to a new one. A vibrant Qi State. The scenery in the Eastern Region is very good! "
Zhao Xuanyang said in a rare serious tone: "Jing is such a big country. Many things happen every day and many decisions are made every day. The mistakes it has made are more outrageous than you can imagine. The responsibilities it has taken and the right things it has done are also more than you can imagine. I'm in it, and I'll go with it. Some things can't be changed. Some right and wrong needs time to verify. I only hope that when I reach a higher position, it will make fewer mistakes and do more right things. "
"Then …" Jiang Wang said, "I hope you can become such a person."
Zhao Xuanyang looked at him and sighed, "I've always said that I want to be friends with you. I'm not joking, and I'm definitely not making fun of you. You're indeed a very outstanding person. None of the Inner Mansion cultivators I've met in Jing State can compare to you … including me, who's at the Inner Mansion Realm. "
To be honest, if they put aside their positions as enemies, the two of them got along quite well in the past few days. They didn't seem to be enemies at all. Instead, they were in a relaxed state.
Jiang Wang only smiled and said, "I said we're not friends, and I'm not joking."
Zhao Xuanyang paused and finally said, "I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize to me." Jiang Wang shook his head, "We each have our own positions. There's no right or wrong."
"If you were me, what would you choose?" Zhao Xuanyang asked.
Jiang Wang shook his head, "Hypotheticals are meaningless. No one knows what they're really like until they're faced with a choice."
Zhao Xuanyang thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any last wishes? If I can do it, I'll do my best to help you. "
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "Can I tell you a secret? I've kept this secret in my heart for a long time. "
"Go ahead."
"The destruction of Maplewood City in the Zhuang State was indeed a conspiracy, but it wasn't my conspiracy. It had nothing to do with the Demon Race. The White Bone Sect intended to sacrifice all the people in the city to refine the White Bone True Pellet to welcome the White Bone God into the world and create the Divine Nation …
Zhuang Ting noticed this but didn't stop it immediately because Zhuang Gaoxian also needed the White Bone True Pellet!
They watched all the people in Maplewood City die and the White Bone True Pellet form … then they took it. After Zhuang Gaoxian swallowed the White Bone True Pellet, his old injuries were healed and he ascended to Insight Enlightenment. That's how Zhuang Daoist became what he is today. "
Jiang Wang said, "That's the truth behind the destruction of Maplewood City. That's why you and I are on different sides now. "
Zhao Xuanyang was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you have proof?"
Jiang Wang said indifferently, "That's why I've kept quiet until now."
"What role did you play in all this?" Zhao Xuanyang asked again.
"I was only a Dao Wandering cultivator at the time. What role could I have played? When I was carrying out a mission for the Dao Academy, I discovered the White Bone Path's scheme and told my teacher about it. My teacher told me to just focus on my cultivation. He has already reported this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court will handle it properly … "Jiang Wang's tone was calm, and there was no fluctuation in it." You know how Zhuang Ting handled it. "
Zhao Xuanyang's gaze was complicated. This interesting 'friend' in front of him had experienced more hardships than he'd imagined. "I think I can understand why you killed Dong Ah now."
"That was only the beginning," Jiang Wang said.
Zhao Xuanyang sighed. "Do you want me to kill Zhuang Gaoxian for you when I'm strong enough in the future?"
"Do you think that'll work?" Jiang Wang countered.
"I don't want to lie to you at a time like this," Zhao Xuanyang said seriously. "He's the ruler of a Daoist vassal nation and a Perfected Master of the present age. I'm from Jing. My treatment of him isn't based on my personal likes and dislikes. "
"That's understandable," Jiang Wang said.
"I suddenly feel like I'm being a bit hypocritical." Zhao Xuanyang shook his head with a wry smile. "But I hope you know that I sincerely want to do something for you."
"Do you trust me on this matter?" Jiang Wang asked. "Even if I can't produce any evidence and only have a one-sided story?"
"Of course," Zhao Xuanyang said. "Although we've only known each other for a few days, you're ten thousand times more reliable than Zhuang Gaoxian."
Jiang Wang asked again, "Do you trust me because I'm trustworthy? Or because Zhuang Gaoxian isn't? Or … do you think that 'a dying man speaks the truth'?"
"You seem to be lashing at my soul, showing me the countless holes in it." Zhao Xuanyang looked deeply at him. "It seems that I'm indeed a hypocrite."
Jiang Wang shook his head. "How many days have we known each other? How can I say what kind of person you are? I can indeed feel your respect, principles, and sincerity. But even if you admire me so much, your trust in me is still very weak. Not to mention there are so many strangers in the world. If I die, everything that happened in Maplewood City will be buried forever. "
He said very seriously, "That's why I can't die."
What did he mean?
Zhao Xuanyang's brows furrowed. He had a bad feeling.
But at this moment, this feeling was suddenly replaced by an instinctive fear!
On the ground between him and Jiang Wang, a vortex as black as ink quietly appeared.
In the lightless cavern, the "inky black" shouldn't have been visible.
But it was strange. In the darkness, it appeared in the viewer's field of vision. It simply defied the common sense of human senses.
What was even more contradictory was that … it had clearly appeared so suddenly, but it seemed to have always been there, giving off such a natural feeling.
It was as if it had always been there, but had only been seen at this moment.
What kind of person was Zhao Xuanyang?
Fear couldn't make him shrink back, and hesitation couldn't make him soften.
He had already firmly found his own Dao and reached the peak of the Immortal Realm, the Tianjiao!
Faced with such a strange scene in the Ancient Devil's Cave, he didn't say anything. He simply flipped his hand, took out the wooden sword on his back, and thrust it forward.
His movements were ethereal like that of a flying immortal, and the sword moved like thunder!
In the dark room, electricity flowed. In the lightless environment, golden light appeared.
It was a brilliant light that almost blinded the naked eye. It was the brilliant Pure Yang Sword.
This sword swept away demonic energy, eliminated evil spirits, destroyed dharma bodies, and destroyed souls!
As soon as this sword was released, it already fell on Jiang Wang's chest.
This was indeed a merciless and merciless sword.
No matter what happened, no matter how much he admired Jiang Wang, no matter what his subjective likes and dislikes were … he had to complete the task Jing Guo gave him. This was Jing Guo's Tianjiao's responsibility.
He grew up here, raised here, and served here.
But it was this sword that ruined his possibility of escape.
In the pitch-black vortex, a flawless white hand suddenly reached out. Two slender fingers gently and skillfully clamped the tip of the wooden sword!
It was like a flawless work of art, not a living existence. But the power it brought was so real.
When it appeared, there was still some distance between them, but the distance was erased!
Where did she come from?
Zhao Xuanyang's sword stopped at Jiang Wang's chest. If it moved half an inch, it could strangle Jiang Wang and completely end this demon-channeling incident.
But it couldn't move an inch.
This scene was just like the reenactment of his battle with Jiang Wang in the tavern in the State of Zhongshan.
At that time, Jiang Wang's sword was also so brilliant, but so powerless.
Once the stark difference in strength was revealed, it was always cold and cruel.
The difference was …
The two slender fingers that clamped the tip of the sword had already turned mercilessly.
Just a twist of the fingers.
The wooden sword in Zhao Xuanyang's hand that had been nurtured for many years, the famous sword passed down from generation to generation in Mount Yujing, broke inch by inch.
The terrifying power firmly suppressed Zhao Xuanyang of Jing Guo's Tianjiao. Under the influence of his mind, his whole body fell backward, and he raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood!
