"Where did Jiang Wang go?" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.
Zheng Shangming, who was reciting the Emperor's Grace, was stunned. "Huh?"
"I asked, where did Jiang Wang go? Do you know?"
Zheng Shangming pursed his lips and said, "He left Qi."
Thus, everyone fell silent.
…
…
An intense battle had just ended.
The result of the battle was victory.
The young man named Lingyue in the Great Illusionary Land was still frowning. He was very dissatisfied with himself.
Although he won, it was not easy.
His current ranking was only fifth in the Great Illusionary Land. Stabilizing in the top ten was a hurdle. Stabilizing in the top five was another hurdle. And if he wanted to be number one in the Great Illusionary Land, he had to be better than the others.
He had just entered the top five, and he already felt very strong resistance. And some people had already been number one in the Great Illusionary Land for a long time, looking down on the other heroes. Now, they were already moving toward the number one in the Outer Great Illusionary Land …
There were some objective reasons for this, such as the rapid expansion of the Great Illusionary Land, more and more cultivators participating in it, and more and more powerhouses appearing, causing the competition for the Inner Palace rankings to become increasingly fierce …
But he was not a person who would find excuses for himself.
In particular, some people's number one was the number one in the entire Main World, the Tianjiao Land. In fact, he was the first in the history of the world.
He had no excuse to find.
The more Young Master Lingyue thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He wanted to fight a few more battles, but he glanced and saw a familiar paper crane flying over.
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly and stood on the Sword Discourse Arena. He planned to ignore it like before.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he did not need to be too petty.
Forget it, let's see what some people are talking about.
He walked down the Sword Discourse Arena and reached out to grab the paper crane.
Reading the letter, he saw that the words were —
"Brother Shu, don't worry. The matter with Qi is over. I have come east with my sword. I will definitely teach you the number one in the Mountain Sea Realm! "
"What a mess!" Zuo Guangshu curled his lips and muttered, "The Mountain Sea Realm is not a place to compete for rankings!"
Holding the letter, he paused for a moment, then laughed coldly and wrote, "The quota for the Mountain and Sea Realm is extremely precious. You said earlier that you wouldn't come, but I've already agreed … "
At this point, he paused, reached out to erase it, and wrote again, "You don't have to come. Could it be that the Zuo clan of Great Chu can't find a Tianjiao that can help us? Don't think that you are truly invincible … "
The tip of the pen paused on the word 'invincible'. For a moment, he felt that his words were not very convincing. Then, he thought that Jiang Qingyang wasn't actually that bad. He really did have something to do before.
Forget it.
He sighed, erased all the above words, and wrote magnanimously, "If you really want to participate, I'll help you think of a way."
He put away the brush and let the paper crane fly away.
The Sword Discourse Arena was still not far away, but Zuo Guangshu had already lost the mood to train his battle skills.
With a thought, he had already left the Great Illusionary Land with a cold expression.
The servants of Great Chu's Huai Public House only saw their handsome young master in a blue robe running around the house. "Grandfather! Grandfather! Grandfather! "
The old master thought that something had happened. He stepped out of the study and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Change people!" Zuo Guangshu said as if he was cutting gold and breaking jade.
…
…
Jiang Wang left Linzi alone and didn't look back.
He only stopped in Qingyang Town for half a day to check on the situation of the fief. He gave Dugu Xiao some pointers on her cultivation and told her to be more careful during this period of time. Then, he continued to head west.
The Emperor had already made a promise. How he would deal with it was up to the Emperor.
He had already done what he could. Now, he had to quickly leave and avoid the limelight so that he wouldn't be an eyesore to some people.
After all, the current Empress had been the master of the harem for so many years. If she was really angry and wanted to kill someone, how many people in the court could resist?
He only heard when he was leaving that the Crown Prince had become a God and officially crossed the lifespan limit. From then on, he had a golden body and jade marrow, and was the most respected person. According to the etiquette, the officials would congratulate him with national gifts …
The Crown Prince could have become a God long ago, but he slowed down again and again, which showed that he was stable. But he just had to become a God at this time.
What did this mean?
It meant that when Jiang Wang went to the Deer Palace to meet the Emperor, the Crown Prince was also nervous. In other words, the Crown Prince deliberately showed this kind of nervousness. This was tantamount to saying that he now knew the truth of what happened back then.
On the surface, the Crown Prince chose to become a God at this time to urgently increase his bargaining chip to resist the political storm that might happen next.
But in fact, he didn't choose to distance himself from it and didn't show that he knew nothing about what happened back then. Then, this bargaining chip was actually added to the Empress!
A Crown Prince who hadn't done anything wrong for many years and now even made up for his shortcomings in cultivation. What could he be criticized for?
This was a responsibility for his mother.
A Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who broke the lifespan limit was already qualified to support the Empress …
But perhaps this was precisely what the Emperor wanted to beat.
How the Emperor would beat the Crown Prince, Jiang Wang naturally didn't know. But it was clear that he had offended the Crown Prince this time, and he had already offended him badly.
Rather than waiting for trouble to come to him in Linzi, it was better to take advantage of the Emperor's handling of old matters and the court to slip away. At the same time, he could fulfill his earlier agreement with Zuo Guangshu and see the heroes of Chu. He could also go to the Mountain and Sea Realm and experience the graceful bearing of Huang Weizhen, who had left her name in history.
There were many old friends in Linzi. If he didn't say goodbye, he would avoid hurting them.
Perhaps many of his friends would feel that he had been forced to leave Linzi. He might feel wronged and pained. But on the contrary, he left very openly.
His mind was clear.
His conscience was clear, and he had no regrets.
He made a choice that he would never regret in this life.
The official road might be able to increase his cultivation speed in a short time, but on the long road, he needed to understand himself more.
…
…
Seven days later.
Broken Soul Gorge, Rocky Valley. The wind whimpered.
Jiang Wang sat alone on a stone platform hanging from the cliff. He looked up at the sky and let his green robe flutter.
From a certain point of view, one's personal view was also a narrow space that limited one's vision. In this world, who didn't see the sky as a thin line?
The wind that passed through the canyon brought a figure wrapped in a black robe.
The person flew up to the stone platform in a few steps and stood beside Jiang Wang, but he kept a certain distance. He complained, "Why did you choose this damned place to meet?"
Jiang Wang smiled. "I said that we would contact through the Great Illusionary Land, but you didn't dare. Now in the Qi World, there are too many eyes. I am more familiar with this place. It is very safe. "
"It's not like you are beside Tian Anping. Of course, there is nothing you don't dare to do. The Great Illusionary Land to Tian Anping … In short, I am worried about its confidentiality. I need to be responsible for myself! " Even though Tian Chang was wrapped in a black robe and wore a hood, he subconsciously stood in the corner of the stone platform to hide himself. "What is it that you urgently want to see me for? Hurry up and say it!"
Jiang Wang looked back at him with a smile on his face. "With your wisdom, can't you think of it?"
Tian Chang lowered his voice and said unhappily, "If I had wisdom, I wouldn't be controlled by you like this!"
"Your attitude is wrong." Jiang Wang stopped smiling and said lightly, "Why are you doing so well now? Do you have any new support?"
"I beg you. I can't disappear for too long." Tian Chang changed his tone and said, "If you have any questions, we can solve them as soon as possible. As long as I know, I will tell you everything. "
Jiang Wang knew that this person was a poisonous snake that couldn't be underestimated. He didn't want to push him too far, so he went with the flow and asked directly, "Was Tian Anping the one who killed Uriel?"
Tian Chang was prepared for this question. "Don't you already have the answer?"
"Isn't he unable to leave Jiancheng City?"
"But Uriel can go to Jiancheng City."
As for why Uriel could go to Jiancheng City …
The Ten Thousand Spirit Freezing Snow was the answer.
Uriel had been investigating Imperial Concubine Lei's case for so many years. Once he got a clue about the Ten Thousand Spirit Freezing Snow, he would probably go and take a look himself, no matter how dangerous it was.
"I understand." Jiang Wang nodded and asked again, "Then why did you leave Uriel's body?"
"I don't know either." Tian Chang shook his head. "But I think there are about two possibilities."
"Which two?"
"First, someone will investigate Uriel's disappearance, but no one will investigate his death."
Uriel was a former Blue Medal legend. Once he disappeared, it was reasonable that an investigation would be conducted. Now that he was dead, his corpse was clearly left there, and no one would be able to investigate it …
Because those who were qualified to investigate would probably be able to guess who the murderer was working for.
Those who were willing to investigate and had the courage to do so would not wait until now.
"Very reasonable." Jiang Wang said, "What's the second possibility?"
Tian Chang said in an indescribable tone, "Maybe it's to give you clues."
Jiang Wang was so agitated by this sentence that his hair stood on end. He could not help but ask, "Why give us clues?"
"I'm just guessing this possibility, but I can't think of a reason." Tian Chang sighed. "Do you think Tian Anping would still be so crazy if his actions could be deduced logically?"
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Sure enough, you know Tian Anping better."
Tian Chang sighed. "It's just to live a little longer."
"I'm done with my questions," Jiang Wang said.
"Then I'll leave first." Tian Chang took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped. He stopped and said, "Actually, I also have a question to ask you."
Jiang Wang looked at him. "Let's hear it."
"The Eleventh Prince also went to Daze County in person earlier, but then he stopped. He should have already let go of this matter. Later on, the Ninth Prince also specially participated in the Seven Stars Valley Secret Land, but he was looking for clues everywhere in the city … "Tian Chang said," I heard that you and the Eleventh Prince were close friends. Why did you go against his last wish? "
It was only today that Jiang Wang found out that there was such a reason behind Jiang Wuxie's trip to Seven Stars Valley!
Therefore, Tian Anping's sudden appearance in Seven Stars Valley was probably not just because of the Tian Family's defeat on Planet Yin.
Who would have thought that there would be such undercurrents in the fierce competition for the champion of the secret realm? Sure enough, without sufficient strength, some things could not be understood even if they were played out right in front of one's eyes.
Unfortunately, it was not clear at the time whether Tian Anping and Jiang Wuxie had clashed in secret.
Jiang Wang's mind spun rapidly, but he only said, "I respect the Eleventh Prince's wishes. However, Lin Kuang is someone who is loyal to the country. His name should not be 'suicide out of fear of retribution'. "
Tian Chang made an "Oh" sound, probably disapproving of this.
"Lord Jiang is indeed a role model for my generation." After saying this, he jumped off the cliff.
The wind whistled and his clothes fluttered.
Jiang Wang sat alone on the high platform for a long time. In the end, he only let out a sigh.
Even if he was a lunatic, he should have a request … What exactly did Tian Anping want?
… …
… …
It was very difficult to plan a good route from Soul Breaking Gorge to Chu.
Jiang Wang still planned to go through Mu, detour around Pegasus Plateau, cross the long river, and go to Yun to see An 'an. Afterwards, he would head south to Chu. If he hadn't become a devil at the time, he would've been cultivating in Chu.
The reason why he took the long route instead of directly crossing Xingyue Plateau and crossing the long river to enter Southern Mountain Range was naturally not because he had misgivings about Jing or Xia, but mainly because he wanted to see Ru Cheng and An 'an.
After his crime of being a devil was washed away, he now had no problem swaggering through Jing, not to mention leaving right under their noses.
Jing was now sending troops to Sheng, and Sheng was also mobilizing all the troops in the world.
Mu's army was also marching into Liyuan City one after another.
The war between the two hegemonic states was unavoidable, but no one knew when the first charge would be sounded.
Zhao Ru Cheng was in Liyuan City, so Jiang Wang naturally couldn't help but worry.
Among the five sworn brothers, Ru Cheng was the youngest and also the most indolent and pampered. He had always been taken care of by his older brothers.
Now, although he knew that he was a descendant of the Great Qin Empire and had a noble bloodline, he was mostly hiding his strength and biding his time. However, he still couldn't change the habit of worrying about him …
However, Jiang Wang's plan still failed.
With the war imminent, Liyuan City's surroundings had long been under martial law. It was impossible to get close.
He wanted to send a letter to his fifth brother, but as Da Qi's Lord Jiang, his name didn't carry much weight in Sheng Mu. No one paid him any attention, and he almost aroused the suspicions of several groups of sentries.
Before he caused more trouble, he had to leave first.
This kind of war between the two hegemonic states was enough to affect the entire structure of the Modern World. Dying in battle wasn't worth mentioning. The death of a Perfected Person was also just a passing mention. In comparison, he, an Outer Building cultivator, was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Apart from a distant sigh, he couldn't do anything else.
Thus, he buried himself in his journey.
This time, he wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
He read, traveled, and cultivated.
He passed through the grassland at the fastest speed, then passed through the Wo State, crossed the long river, and quietly arrived at the Yun State.
When he first left the Yun State, it was the autumn of the 3919th year of the Dao calendar.
At that time, he was full of ambition and wanted to go to the Chu State to help Zuo Guangshu, boasting shamelessly that he would help Little Guangshu break through the Mountain Sea Realm.
But when he turned around, reality hit him hard with a stick. The name of Tong Mo, the massacre of demons, the struggle for Yuheng, the battle of Xingyue Plain, Jiang Wuqi's death …
Life seemed to have been cruelly pulled back and finally returned to the beginning.
But it was no longer the beginning.
Now that he returned, it was already the spring of the 3920th year of the Dao calendar.
It was only a few seasons, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
