"This recognition is precious," Jiang Wang replied through telepathy. "But I'm not sure I can help you."
Lin Youxie's trust was very heavy, but Jiang Wang was no longer the naive teenager who believed that Dong A would save Maplewood City unconditionally.
He would still keep his faith and not be stingy with his kindness, but he would not ignore realistic problems.
Lin Kuang and Uriel, who were born in the four Blue Medal families, were once the most dazzling figures in the Blue Medal system. They were known as "Southern Wu and Northern Lin", known as the Blue Medal Double Pride. They were the hope of the four Blue Medal families to restart the glorious era.
Lin Kuang took over countless major cases, and every case was solved. Many of the methods of handling cases in the Northern Government were pioneered by him.
But his brilliance came to an abrupt end after he took over the investigation of the assassination of Noble Consort Lei.
Lin Kuang died, and Uriel resigned.
In one night, the winds and clouds had dispersed.
Lin Youxie, who was only three years old, was afraid of corpses because he suddenly saw his biological father's corpse.
Lin, Wu, and Cheng were the four Blue Medal families. The Cheng family had long lost its heir, and Lin Wu was only left with a shadow.
A few days ago, Li Youku was executed by dismemberment, which meant that the four Blue Medal families no longer existed in name and reality!
Now, Lin Youxie wanted to seize the clues that Feng Gu might have left behind to restart the assassination of Noble Consort Lei. Jiang Wang was not optimistic.
It was not that he did not think highly of Lin Youxie's ability to handle cases, but such a big case involving a wide range of people needed a powerful person to push it forward. Lin Youxie and even Uriel behind her did not have such a driving force …
From this point of view, why did Feng Gu choose to commit suicide at this moment, right after Jiang Wuqi's funeral?
First, it was to complete Jiang Wuqi's funeral, and he had nothing to worry about. Second, it was nothing more than wanting to use the emperor's feelings for Jiang Wuqi to die as the chief eunuch of the Longevity Palace before the emperor's grief dissipated.
He hoped that the emperor would be furious and push forward the investigation of the case.
Then, he would expose the clues of the assassination of Noble Consort Lei and escalate the case.
Even the person who put the knife in front of Lin Youxie's door was definitely related to Feng Gu. In order to find out the truth about Lin Kuang's death, Lin Youxie would definitely do his best.
Feng Gu's design had almost reached the limit of what he could do.
But the problem was … What was the Emperor's attitude?
On the surface, it seemed that the Emperor had put in a lot of effort to push the Northern Government to be solely responsible for the Longevity Palace case. He had also taken care of Feng Gu's dying wish and had Jiang Wang supervise the progress of the case.
Zheng Shangming, Lin Youxie, and Jiang Wang formed a strong team.
However, to trace back from Feng Gu's case to the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei many years ago, frankly speaking, it was lacking in weight.
Only if Zheng Shangming was replaced by Zheng Shi and Lin Youxie was replaced by Uriel would they have the right to investigate such a case.
Hence, the Emperor's attitude was still unclear.
Perhaps the emperor was also waiting for something …
At the same time, combining the information of Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming, Jiang Wang could be said to have some clues about this matter.
The key to this matter was still the Emperor!
After seeing the clues, did the Emperor intend to reopen the old case?
The two Blue Medal winners in front of him were obviously not on the same page. If Zheng Shangming found the clues first, he would definitely wait for the Emperor's will. If Lin Youxie found the clues first, she would definitely investigate all the way to the end in order to find out the truth.
Jiang Wang sympathized with Lin Youxie's experience and understood her desire to find out the truth, but he could not rashly promise something that he might not be able to do.
Those who make light promises are bound to be untrustworthy.
"You don't have to do too much. Just turn a blind eye," Lin Youxie said.
Obviously, she was confident that she could find the clues before Zheng Shangming, because compared to Zheng Shangming, who was still suspicious, she had already confirmed that Feng Gu's death was a suicide. She was one step ahead of him.
The only thing she needed to worry about was Jiang Wang, who had been watching them in the name of supervisor.
It was difficult for her and Zheng Shangming to do anything under Jiang Wang's nose. That was why she needed to communicate with Jiang Wang in private.
Jiang Wang did not speak anymore.
The search of Jiang Wuqi's study did not produce a result quickly.
It should be said that Lin Youxie and Feng Gu's goals were the same. One was for his dead father, the other for his dead benefactor. One died to open the case, the other was involved regardless of the consequences. They both wanted to pursue the truth that had been buried in history …
Jiang Wang did not want to be the person who blocked the way.
Repaying a debt of gratitude and taking revenge was a matter of course. Who could criticize them?
But if he really found out that Lin Youxie was hiding the clues, he was not sure what choice he would make.
Could he just ignore Zheng Shangming's friendship? The father and son of the Zheng Family offered the position of the Northern Yamen Commandant so frankly. Could he just ignore it?
Perhaps he shouldn't have taken on this job. Who would have thought that he would be in such a difficult situation?
But if he just backed out now, it would be hard to avoid suspicion. If someone else came to supervise, it would be a real blow to Lin Youxie's plan.
Jiang Wang was frustrated. He simply stood at the door of the study and let his mind wander. He cultivated.
He did not want to make a choice. It was better to leave it up to fate. Let's see who would be luckier between Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming.
Longhu had been completed. It was time to allocate some energy to the Starlight Sacred Tower. After all, all divine abilities and spells were based on cultivation.
His soul moved and established a connection with the Starlight Sacred Tower in the distant stars.
It was not that his soul was strong enough to cross the universe. This connection was based more on the mysteries of the Starlight Sacred Tower itself.
A seven-story green pagoda hung in the vast starry sky. Its aura was ancient and solid. It had cornices and corners, like a picturesque railing.
A wisp of his soul descended and revealed his form.
At that time, he had directly set up the Star Tower beside the Alioth Star, skipping the most tedious and dangerous steps of building the Starlight Sacred Tower. There was no need to risk his soul being lost in the universe to establish an anchor point. There was also no need to gather starlight bit by bit to build the Star Tower. After all, Senior Guan Yan had crushed it all.
The Starlight Sacred Tower was indeed still in the inner circle of the Alioth Star. However, the "main body" of the Alioth Star occupied by Senior Guan Yan was nowhere to be found.
The Alioth Star already had a master. It would not be so easy for someone as ambitious as the Dragon God to capture its location.
Jiang Wang did not think of contacting Senior Guan Yan. He thought that Senior Guan Yan was now with the annoying granny and did not want to be disturbed.
Jiang Wang's Star Tower was not the only one in the starry sky covered by the Alioth Star. It was also impossible for it to monopolize this region. However, this Star Tower was definitely in the core position of the Eastern Domain's Qi. Qi's Linzi.
Sitting on a unique advantage, the falling starlight was like a waterfall, extremely dazzling.
Jiang Wang was already very familiar with the state of the Soul Manifestation.
Now, if the Soul Manifestation directly appeared in the vast universe, it would probably be destroyed in an instant. However, it was different in the Star Tower.
To some extent, the Starlight Sacred Tower, which stood in the distant starry sky, was a "Heavenly Palace" outside the body.
Just like the five inner residences could also be regarded as five "Heavenly Palaces", it opened up more possibilities in cultivation and gave cultivators more choices.
The starlight in the Hidden Star Sea shone brightly.
Jiang Wang settled down and sat cross-legged in the Star Tower. Using the Soul Manifestation, with the help of the mysteries of the Star Tower, he calmed his mind and felt the connection between himself and the universe. The Hidden Star Sea was also the Universe Sea, and the Starlight Sacred Tower was also himself.
The human body corresponded to the universe, so there were thousands of possibilities.
In meditation, he experienced the uniqueness of the Starlight Sacred Tower in the vast universe. He took the initiative to gather the starlight of the Alioth Star and further sculpted the Sacred Tower itself, making it more unique, more self, and more real …
This in itself was also a process of further understanding himself.
Gain insight into himself and then explore the universe. Using the universe as a mirror, he then reflected on himself. There was no end to his understanding of himself and the universe.
Perhaps there would never be an end to cultivation, but there would always be people who put in all their effort to go further.
After completing all his homework, Jiang Wang stood up and wandered around the Starlight Sacred Tower for a while. He even specially went to the bottom floor to take a look.
The Senhai Dragon God was suppressed at the bottom of the Star Tower. Under the effect of the spell formation set up by Senior Guan Yan, it continuously provided the Star Tower with power. Therefore, even though Jiang Wang was distracted by the Longhu Dragon God, the Star Tower's progress was not slow. It was now more solid and stable.
The bottom of the Star Tower had turned into a stone floor with an ancient aura. It was like a huge stone slab that was intact.
It was coarse, ancient, and had a sense of history.
When Jiang Wang was adjusting it, he intentionally referred to the River-Viewing Platform and the Sword Discourse Platform in the Great Illusionary Land.
With a slight thought, the stone slab gradually became transparent. Therefore, one could clearly see that under his feet was a stone prison that was sealed on all sides. Complex formation patterns were connected, and it felt indestructible.
A dark golden divine dragon was curled up on the ground, seemingly asleep.
The Senhai Dragon God was originally a golden dragon. Later on, when he was revived by Yan Xiao, he took control of the dark side of the Senhai Origin World and became black. After being pulled out of Jiang Wang's body by Guan Yan and sealed into this prison, he became dark golden...
There was a mixture of light and darkness, and a mixture of good and evil.
His dragon claws and dragon neck were shackled by a huge chain. The grayish-white chains, one end connected to the chains, and the other to the four walls. While trapping the dragon's body, they were also absorbing his power, not allowing him any possibility of resistance.
The entire Starlight Sacred Tower was under Jiang Wang's control.
The transparent stone slab under his feet was unidirectional.
From above, he could see the bottom, but from below, he could not see the top.
Jiang Wang silently watched for a while. After confirming that his opponent had no chance of escaping, he prepared to leave.
"Sigh."
The dark golden dragon in the stone prison suddenly sighed.
He must have felt the changes in the Starlight Sacred Tower itself. He knew that Jiang Wang's soul had already arrived, so he deliberately made some noise to attract attention.
Jiang Wang did not say a word and quietly watched his performance.
"Who else knows the ancient secrets? During the Hundred Races War, the sky collapsed nine times. How much did the Dragon Clan pay for this world? Heaven and earth are always ruthless, and people are the most forgetful. But fake legends are as thin as white paper, and false stories are just broken dreams. Those who forget history will eventually be forgotten by history! "
The Dragon God's voice was low, as if he was trapped in a great memory. "Back then, my emperor fought Lieshan and saved the world from collapse. He broke the river of nine bends, shattered the seven treasures of Lieshan, asked the southern sky, and howled in Yuyuan … "
At this point, he sighed heavily again. This sigh was quite self-pitying, but it also had a deep meaning. It seemed that there were many stories waiting to be told. There were endless secrets to be shared with others.
The secrets of the dragon, the dragon's history, the dragon's treasures …
No one would be indifferent to this.
However, Jiang Wang was silent.
The silence lasted for a long time.
The Forest Sea Dragon God suddenly laughed miserably. "In the past, when the Dragon Clan opened up the sea, more than half of the Water Clan's followers were still followers. I managed the Forest Sea Origin World for a thousand years, but in the end, no one followed me … There was no distinction between good and evil, and no reward for good and good. How ridiculous! "
Jiang Wang did not say a word and left directly.
The Dragon God in the dungeon was still continuing. "To think that I, a True Dragon, have mastered thousands of divine techniques, and know …"
Suddenly sensing the change in the aura of the Saint Tower, he could no longer pretend and hurriedly jumped up. "Hey, don't go! Little brother! "
However, the aura of the Star Tower's owner had already disappeared, and the Star Tower returned to its normal state of loneliness in the universe.
"Damn it!" The Dragon God's eyes were ferocious, and he immediately leaped up.
Smack!
The chains binding him tightened, and lightning whipped around his body like a whip!
In the flames that exploded and dissipated, his entire black-gold dragon body fell heavily to the ground, and he was dizzy from the fall. His flesh was torn open, and he could only pant hatefully.
"Ant … how hateful!"
He was born with great power, and he had been high and mighty for countless years. Once he became a prisoner, he could only vent his anger with words.
His anger and humiliation could only reverberate in the prison cell.
If Jiang Wang did not listen, no one would listen …
And to Jiang Wang.
A True Dragon was naturally invaluable. Not to mention his contributions to the First Star Tower, just his vision and experience as a True Dragon were a huge fortune.
However, this "fortune" was not so easy to obtain.
Jiang Wang would not be arrogant enough to think that he had enough wisdom to suppress such an existence that had schemed for a thousand years to seize Yuheng.
On the contrary, if he was blinded by greed, he might fall into his opponent's trap at any time.
Therefore, he did not intend to have any interaction with the Forest Sea Dragon God before he had enough temperament — under the suppression of Senior Guan Yan, this Forest Sea Dragon God could not cultivate or resist … The worst case scenario was to wait for the First Star Tower to suck him into a dragon corpse.
Between him and the Forest Sea Dragon God, time was his friend. The more time passed, the more the Dragon God would recognize reality.
Jiang Wang had enough patience.
The people of Mu had a saying that they could refine an eagle, so it might not be impossible to refine a dragon.
After ending the cultivation lessons at the Starlight Sacred Tower, the faint frustration of being caught in a dilemma had disappeared.
Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie were still carefully searching for information, looking for chapters and excerpts from Jiang Wuqi's bookshelf. Occasionally, the two of them would exchange a few words of analysis, but they were all vague and untrue.
Jiang Wang only glanced at them indifferently, then prepared to continue cultivating Dao techniques.
Although the Dragon and Tiger had been formed, the Flame Flower Incineration was still a little lacking.
Although Zuo Guanglie had left behind a detailed explanation, he had not allocated enough energy previously.
This kind of mastery of Dao techniques was the best way to reflect the consumption of time. If he did not cultivate for a day, he would know. If he did not cultivate for two days, he would know. If he did not cultivate for three days, his opponent would know.
However, perhaps because he had just met the Dragon God, Jiang Wang suddenly thought of the Red Makeup Mirror.
Thus, he thought of the third option in the Longevity Palace —
What if he could find the clue first?
Would he be able to make a relatively correct choice with more comprehensive information?
Would it not be better to decide who to give the clue to after understanding the cause and effect?
Jiang Wang thought of the Red Makeup Mirror now, not because of its possible relationship with the Dragon Clan, but because of its ability to reflect.
After overcoming so many Divine Soul Tribulations, the Red Makeup Mirror could now cover an area of 25 kilometers. Furthermore, it was extremely clear and could cover the entire Longevity Palace!
Using it to find clues would definitely be clearer than using the naked eye, and it would not be limited to this study.
This was also why he felt that he might have a chance to find the clue first.
Using the Red Makeup Mirror's probing ability in Linzi was a very foolish choice, because it could easily offend a certain powerful expert. If he was seen as spying and came knocking on his door, that would be really embarrassing, and he might not even be able to keep his title.
However, the Longevity Palace was completely sealed today, and the three of them were also given the right to search the Longevity Palace …
If they did not use it now, then when?
Jiang Wang was already holding the Red Makeup Mirror without batting an eyelid.
With the help of the Red Makeup Mirror, his vision quickly expanded to the entire Longevity Palace.
The Red Makeup Mirror was not a treasure of fortune, but an instrument engraved with a curse. Using the Red Makeup Mirror directly without using the mirror world to probe would undoubtedly cause one to be disturbed by negative emotions and faint curses.
However, those things would no longer affect the current Jiang Wang at all.
Compared to the first time he felt the power of the Red Makeup Mirror's curse overseas, the current Jiang Wang was much stronger.
This majestic palace was spread out in his field of vision.
From a transcendent perspective, he observed the empty Longevity Palace once more.
It was as if he was visiting Jiang Wuqi again.
