The Cleansing Moon Nunnery was in the northeast of the State of Wei. In the southeast of the Diligent Academy.
To be more precise, it was in an ancient bamboo forest that was rarely visited by humans.
The bamboo forest was quiet and serene. It was not marked on the maps of the various countries.
The bamboo forest was nameless, so people called it the Cleansing Moon Nunnery.
As a Buddhist sect, the Cleansing Moon Nunnery was not divided into front and back like the Xuankong Temple. Instead, it opened up its vast territory to protect its believers. A temple was like a country.
The Cleansing Moon Nunnery's mountain gate was hidden and not open to the world.
In this regard, the Cleansing Moon Nunnery was more similar to Mount Meru.
At this moment, Jiang Wang was standing in the bamboo forest, listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves. He was at a loss about the road ahead.
True Jade told him to "get lost", but they were in the Cleansing Moon Nunnery after all. Therefore, she sent him out herself.
It was not too complicated. She just put on a monk's robe and a cloak for him and led him out of the mountain gate.
They did not meet anyone along the way. He did not know if the Cleansing Moon Nunnery had few people or if they were all sent away.
In short, it was very smooth.
It was obvious that True Jade had a high status in the Cleansing Moon Nunnery.
After bringing him to the bamboo forest, she left without saying anything.
Jiang Wang thought for a while. He found a secluded place and put on the tattered Ruyi Immortal Robe so that it could absorb energy and slowly recover.
Even though True Jade disdainfully called it a rag, and even though it was indeed in a damaged state … it was the best daoist robe he had on him, and he couldn't dislike it.
Jiang Wang was not in a hurry to make a decision. Instead, he connected to the Great Void Fantasy Land and wanted to understand the situation outside.
Needless to say, the blessed land had fallen to the 47th ranked Tiger Creek Mountain.
The honor of being the number one inner palace in the Great Void Fantasy Land was also given to Ling Yue.
It seemed that Zuo Guangshu had been working hard during this period. He should be preparing for the Mountain Sea Realm. It was a pity that he could not go. Otherwise, he should let the world see the power of the number one inner palace in the world …
There were many paper crane letters. Swordsman Ning had three, all asking when he was free to exchange pointers. Calculating the time, there were no more letters after the Mirror World Platform announced that he had mastered the devil.
There were five letters from Zuo Guangshu. First, he asked what was going on. Then, he asked Jiang Wang to reply after reading the letters, saying that he might be able to help. The letters ended on the day Zhao Xuanyang tracked them to Zhongshan.
There were nine letters from Zhong Xuan Sheng, and there weren't any superfluous words in them. They were all summaries of the current situation and suggestions for Jiang Wang … Those suggestions were so complicated that they simply didn't trust Jiang Wang's thoughts at all.
......
"The Son of Heaven used General Cao Jie to secretly replace Wanyan Xionglue to kill Qi Hong and break into Liyuan City. A storm is rising in the world. If you have already been saved, it is not appropriate for you to appear in front of others for the time being. You may continue to hide. After all, your disappearance is very beneficial to our negotiations. If you are still held hostage by Zhao Xuanyang, or if you are trapped somewhere else, give me your address at once. If you don't see this letter … pretend I didn't write it. "
He had only been recuperating for a few days, and the world had changed so drastically! It felt like a lifetime had passed!
Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng wrote a reply. There were only nine words on the letter: "Zhao Xuanyang is dead. I have to leave for now."
After waiting for a while, he did not receive a reply from Chung Geng Sheng. He left the Great Illusionary Land. After getting his bearings, he headed for Mu Country.
His first target was the Xuankong Temple. From Chung Geng Sheng's letter, he knew what Ku Jue had done for him. Even now, Ku Jue was still looking for him.
So he had to at least tell Ku Jue that he was safe.
But if he went to find Ku Jue directly, he would be easily discovered by Jing Guo. Secondly, Ku Jue was looking for him all over the world. His whereabouts were uncertain. If he could not reveal his identity, he might not be able to find Ku Jue.
Fortunately, Monk Jing Li's whereabouts were fixed. As Ku Jue's beloved disciple, Jing Li should have a way to contact Ku Jue.
Besides, it would be easy to return to Qi after going to Xuankong Temple. It was a safer choice.
But going from Moon Cleansing Bamboo Forest to Xuankong Temple was not that simple.
The battle of Liyuan City was over, but it was just the beginning of the war …
Mu Country's war!
After Mu Country took Liyuan City, both Mu Country and Sheng Country kept increasing their troops.
Sheng Country and the Jing Country behind it would never accept the outcome of Liyuan City. And Mu Country had finally broken Sheng Country's "blade edge" and was about to conquer the Central Region. Naturally, they would not give in.
What would be the result of a head-on clash between the two countries?
The scorched valley plains might be the answer.
The vast space between Jing Country and Mu Country, including the Northern Region and the Central Region, could become a battlefield.
Countless pairs of eyes were watching this place.
For safety reasons, Jiang Wang did not plan to enter this area.
In this way, going around the rear of Mu Country and going through Qu Country to enter the Eastern Region was the most reliable route.
He couldn't just go through the long river and run to the Southern Region, then circle back to the Eastern Region. That would be even further and less safe.
Besides, if he went through Mu Country, he could also meet Little Five and tell him that he was safe, lest he worry.
At first glance, this route seemed complicated, but it was the result of Jiang Wang's careful analysis of the situation and careful consideration.
… …
When Zhong Xuan Sheng replied, it was at night.
At that time, Jiang Wang was wearing a cloak and an ordinary brown hemp robe. He had already traveled a long distance — he had already changed out of the monk robe that True Jade had given him.
It wasn't something embarrassing like wearing female clothes. The gray monk robe was gender-neutral and didn't distinguish between men and women. It was just that Mu Country was a country that pursued the Divine Dao, and Cang Tu God was the most powerful. He didn't have a good impression of monks or Daoist priests.
The reason he was dressed like this was purely to avoid trouble.
He found a secluded place and entered the Great Illusionary Realm again. Then, he saw Chung Geng Sheng's fat paper crane flying over.
Jiang Wang didn't read the letter and directly opened the Star River Space.
Not long after, the two of them met again in the dazzling Star River.
The Star River stretched across a small pavilion.
The two of them sat facing each other. There were no tears in their eyes, only the joy of surviving a disaster.
Chung Geng Sheng looked at him with a strange expression. "You killed Zhao Xuanyang?"
Jiang Wang sighed. "I didn't have a choice."
Chung Geng Sheng's fat face scrunched up. "Can you not boast so much in front of your own brother?"
Jiang Wang: … …
This time, he really didn't want to boast. Yes, he did feel somewhat regretful about Zhao Xuanyang's death.
But there was no other way. The truth was already like boasting. Who could he blame?
Jiang Wang could only sigh again. "You don't understand me. I don't blame you. I only blame myself for being too strong. It's beyond the scope of your understanding. "
"Enough is enough!" Chung Geng Sheng slammed the stone table, the fat on his face trembling.
"Fine," Jiang Wang said helplessly. "Actually, the reason I was able to kill him was because …"
"Stop!" Chung Geng Sheng hurriedly gestured for him to stop. "I don't want to hear how you killed him. I'm afraid of ruining my brother's pure image in my heart."
Even though he understood that Chung Geng Sheng didn't want to pry into his secrets, these words … … why did they sound so strange?
Chung Geng Sheng said, "Right now, we're just discussing the aftermath of this matter."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said, "I think it's better if I explain everything to you in detail. That way, you won't be thinking too much about it."
"Huh?" Chung Geng Sheng said in surprise, "If you don't know what I'm thinking, how can you say that I'm thinking too much about it?"
As he looked at this familiar chubby face, his fists began to itch.
"Let's talk somewhere else?"
"I don't want to."
After all, he was someone who had survived a calamity. When he looked at the world again, he was much more tolerant … …
I knew that you were all idiots, and I knew that you'd be the same when you saw me.
Jiang Wang loosened his fists and smiled. "The situation at the time was like this … …"
Just like that, he recounted everything that had happened in the Ancient Devil's Cave. He told him that Zhao Xuanyang had been ordered to kill him, the Blood Mane True Devil Song Wanxi, the Seven Grudges Devil Art, the black-robed Devil Race … … Only True Jade. For some reason, he couldn't explain, he only said that she was an old acquaintance of his from the Cleansing Moon Nunnery.
"You're saying that you have a True Devil in your hands?" Chung Geng Sheng was dumbfounded.
Even though he was from a famous sect and had seen a lot, he couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Wang's luck.
Thinking about it, Jiang Wang had survived the battle between Zhuang Chengqian and the White Bone Evil God to capture the Blood Mane True Devil. How thrilling it had been!
"Currently, I can only summon it in the Ancient Devil's Cave," Jiang Wang corrected. "Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't try it again. So it's almost as good as nothing. "
Since he had already caught the attention of that terrifying black-robed Devil Race, it would be foolish to think of the Blood Mane True Devil as a reliable method.
Chung Geng Sheng suddenly laughed. "How interesting! Eight Perfected Masters of the present age went to the Wuwengdu Mountain Range together and didn't leave a single trace behind. In the end, they came up with a result that was miles off the mark! "
"It's not exactly miles off the mark." Jiang Wang said. "There was indeed a third party involved, but that third party was in the Myriad Worlds Desolate Tomb."
"Yes, yes," Chung Geng Sheng smiled. "And there's also that old acquaintance of yours who can fool the Perfected Masters!"
At this point, he narrowed his eyes. "Why do I feel like this old acquaintance is another Qiao Yanjun?"
Jiang Wang only said, "I don't want to waste my time with you!"
Chung Geng Sheng thought for a bit and said, "Then this is what happened — —"
"In order to avoid Ku Jue's pursuit, Zhao Xuanyang held you hostage and hid in the Ancient Devil's Cave. You stayed in the Ancient Devil Cave for a few days. Then, for some reason, a True Devil suddenly crossed over to this world. Zhao Xuanyang drew his sword and fought him. During the battle, your organs were pierced by a spear and your Five Palace Seas were shattered. You fell into a coma and didn't know anything. When you woke up, you found yourself in a barren mountain. Your injuries had already been treated, but you didn't know who saved you. You also didn't know what happened in that devil's den … "
"I don't know anything?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Of course you don't know." Chung Geng Sheng said, "Otherwise, how do you explain your Blood Mane True Devil?"
"Why didn't you say that Zhao Xuanyang was dead and his body was taken to the Myriad Worlds Desolate Tomb by the True Devil?"
Chung Geng Sheng coldly said, "It's better to leave some suspense about his life and death, in case someone goes crazy … and you don't know anything!"
"Will others believe that?"
"Of course, because you must be innocent, especially in this situation!" Especially in the current situation. "Zhong Xuan Sheng asked," As for the others, does it matter if they believe it or not? After this, is there anyone who can Soul Search you to prove your innocence? "
Jiang Wang bitterly smiled. "If there's a way to prove my innocence without harming my spirit, I'm willing to give it a try!"
Chung Geng Sheng heard the bitterness in his words.
Up to this point, the most innocent person in the entire incident was Jiang Wang himself.
But now, he had to lie to protect himself, because he already understood that in this world, even if you were innocent, you couldn't be innocent!
He could be falsely accused of colluding with a devil for no reason. Blood Mane True Devil Song Wanxi was enough to consign him to eternal damnation.
"Jiang Wang." Chung Geng Sheng looked at him and said seriously, "You're too dazzling. You don't even realize how dazzling you are. Wang Yiwu was defeated by you, and the Tianya Stage was your stepping stone. After the Yellow River Meeting, you're already the rising sun in the sky! Do you know how many pairs of eyes are watching you? "
"Everyone can see you, and everyone will see you. The moment their gazes fall, the effect has already taken place. Kindness is gentle, but malice is dazzling. Therefore, kindness is often forgotten after seeing it, but malice is accumulated and infinitely magnified. "
"It will make you depressed, make you doubt yourself, make you feel wronged, and make you angry. If you feel that you're the enemy of the whole world, you might as well look around you. There are many people who support you, and many people who believe in you. "
He pointed at himself. "At least, I'm a few hundred pounds of fat meat, and I'll always be on your side."
He didn't expect Chung Geng Sheng to say something like this.
Perhaps the pursuit at the Mirror World Stage had left him with lingering fear?
It was indeed a very difficult journey from Zhaoheng City to the Ancient Devil's Cave in the Wuweng Mountain Range. The most difficult part was not facing a powerful opponent or encountering danger, but having to bear a bad reputation and endure too much hostility at the same time.
It was the kind of grievance that couldn't be appealed to, the kind of resentment that said, "How innocent am I?"
Being condemned by thousands of people would end without a cause.
Being hated by thousands of people, how could one be lucky enough to escape?
Hatred, loathing, and injustice would either kill a person or their heart. After being attacked by these negative emotions, it would often leave behind a scene of devastation. Even if one survived, they would be a person who was unrecognizable.
Anger, resentment, and hatred would arise from this … It was very common.
"A few hundred pounds of fat meat!" Jiang Wang sucked in a breath of cold air. "No wonder it's so greasy!"
"I really miss the time when I first met you!" Chung Geng Sheng gritted his teeth.
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows. "Back then, I was still spoiling you, right?"
Chung Geng Sheng said faintly, "Back then, you couldn't beat me."
"Oh!" Jiang Wang laughed. "You want to beat me up? Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Let's go on the Sword Discourse Arena? I'll let you use one hand. "
Using one hand in battle would reduce one's combat strength by almost half.
The fat on Chung Geng Sheng's face trembled. He was obviously tempted. "Let me use the hand that holds the sword?"
Jiang Wang said very openly, "I already said that I'll give you a chance. Whichever hand you want me to use, I'll use that hand!"
Chung Geng Sheng suddenly sneered. "So you've already achieved Heaven's Sanctum!"
"I'd like to, but how could it be so easy?" Jiang Wang said innocently.
Chung Geng Sheng laughed loudly. "Originally, I only had a thirty percent chance, but now I have a hundred percent chance! Jiang Wang, you look like a dog, but you don't do anything. You're playing dirty with me! "
Jiang Wang couldn't figure out how he had exposed himself. He couldn't help but ask, "When did you find out?"
Chung Geng Sheng's laughter suddenly stopped. He said coldly, "Now."
Jiang Wang was speechless.
This series of lies really made one's teeth itch!
Chung Geng Sheng asked again, "Since you've already achieved Heaven's Sanctum, have you engraved the Taoist technique of the Fifth Sanctum?"
Jiang Wang shook his head truthfully. "I haven't had time to engrave the Fourth Sanctum. I haven't found a suitable one yet."
"Okay." Chung Geng Sheng smiled. "Find a place to hide first and hide your identity. I'll go and ask you for some benefits."
Jiang Wang was stunned. "Who are you going to ask?"
"Serves you right for being poor!" Chung Geng Sheng's face was full of disappointment. "Didn't I already tell you? Da Qi thought you were putting pressure on Jing Guo in the name of seeking justice. "
"So?"
"So you can't show yourself in front of people right now. You have to hide yourself well and play the role of the missing Tianjiao!"
"I know." Jiang Wang nodded. "I'm pretending right now!"
Chung Geng Sheng let out a long sigh. "You're the world's number one Inner Sanctum, Jiang Qingyang, whose integrity is unparalleled. You're worthy of the heavens and the earth. You're the peerless Tianjiao, the best man in the world! How can you hide and let the world laugh at you? "
Jiang Wang didn't care. "Hey, what's the big deal …"
Chung Geng Sheng interrupted him very seriously. "Unless you pay more!"
Jiang Wang instantly sat up straight and replied in the same serious tone, "You're right. I've sacrificed too much!"
