Jiang Wang stood where he was, quietly watching Ge Cheng escape.
The killing intent surrounding him was excited but restrained.
He seemed to be considering whether he could really kill Ge Cheng so that this person would not have time to commit suicide.
He seemed to be hesitating whether it was worth the risk of exposing his abilities for a mere Ge Cheng.
In short, he did not move.
Ge Cheng's flying figure quickly disappeared from his sight. From Jiang Wang's body, a figure in a fluttering green robe jumped out. It was exactly the same as Jiang Wang, but full of energy and vigor. Its cold gaze turned, and it randomly chose a direction and flew far away.
The Red Makeup Mirror's illusory body!
Jiang Wang rarely used this ability of the Red Makeup Mirror now. Because at the level of battle he had experienced, the Red Makeup Mirror's illusory body could not be of much use.
No matter how lifelike the illusory body was, it did not have real battle strength. With a slight touch of the battle's aftermath, one could distinguish between the real and the fake.
It was very useful when there was no one to fight.
When a paper tiger could not be exposed, it was still a tiger.
Jiang Wang purposely left a thread of consciousness on it, so that after it flew out of the Red Makeup Mirror's area of control, it could still fly far away until its power was exhausted.
Directly letting the illusory body chase after Ge Cheng was of course a more realistic choice, but it was also more risky.
No matter how much Ge Cheng feared death, it would not be to the extent that he did not dare to fight back.
As long as he attacked, he could immediately expose Jiang Wang's powerful illusion. When the killing general returned, Jiang Wang would be in trouble.
On the other hand, if he flew in another direction, it would cause people to have many suspicions and be unable to determine his intentions — even Jiang Wang himself did not know where the illusory body would fly to.
Perhaps it would collapse if it bumped into something on the way, or perhaps it would fly very far …
In short, Jiang Wang could not care so much.
After wiping away his traces, he fell head first.
Plop!
He fell straight into the sea.
Too tired …
His heavily injured body that had been in battle for a long time could not take it anymore. Otherwise, with his habits, he wouldn't have threatened Ge Lin. If he still had strength, he would have tried to kill him first.
He restrained his aura and sealed his five senses. Relying on his last tenacious will, he forced himself to form a hand seal. A dim light flowed into his body, and then he lost consciousness.
As for the Calamity Seal that he had just obtained, he had only grasped a tiny bit of it. There was no way he could use it in battle. At this moment, using it to conceal himself was better than nothing … He was doing his best.
Maybe he would be eaten by some fish, or maybe Ge Tu would be suspicious and find a flaw, so he would come back and search the sea to find him …
He did the best he could under the circumstances.
He could only accept the unknown fate that awaited him and was powerless to resist.
…
…
"The Myriad Heavens, the Myriad Worlds, and the Thousand Eras. What can last forever?"
"Countless romantic winds, let them all go with the wind. Those who thought they wouldn't forget were all forgotten in the end. "
"Since ancient times, there has never been a dynasty that lasted for ten thousand years. The so-called great will was only passed down for a thousand years. And the carvings on this stone came from several great eras ago. "
"Thirty thousand years of bones carved into a mountain range, seven quadrillion lives weathered in time."
"What do you think is truly immortal?"
"I feel lonely."
"Born and dying … eternal loneliness."
…
Jiang Wang vaguely heard some words.
It was like a person sighing about something.
It was such a fragmented emotion.
He seemed to have some feelings, but when he woke up, he had already forgotten all of them.
He woke up.
The first thing he sensed was his body.
He was still very weak, but at least he had regained some strength.
The Heavenly Palace Physique was indeed powerful. The light of the Five Divine Abilities silently shone, and it actually healed some of his injuries.
Of course, for the most serious places, such as the places that had been ravaged by the Five Deaths and the True Samadhi Fire, it was difficult to rely on the body's instinct to heal. He had to focus on healing.
After gaining a general understanding, Jiang Wang opened his eyes. It was still pitch-black in front of him.
Of course, his visual perception was not affected. He saw a dark red wall, some dark brown messy impurities, turtle shells, fish bones, and some unknown algae …
The dark red "wall" squirmed a little.
Splash. A large amount of seawater, wrapped in fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, rushed in from a deep opening.
After a while, the seawater flowed out, but the fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish were still there. They bounced and bounced and gradually stopped. They were corroding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Jiang Wang's body, which was gradually waking up, felt a kind of softness and movement.
Then, there was a sticky feeling.
He found that he was wrapped in a mud-like black liquid, and the Ruyi Immortal Robe on his body was already very dim — if he was unconscious for a while, it might be damaged again.
At this time, Jiang Wang certainly understood that he was in the belly of a big fish.
This should be considered good news, because in this way, his traces would be more thoroughly covered.
Fortunately, this big fish did not have the habit of chewing and then swallowing …
Jiang Wang jumped out of the black liquid, found a relatively high place, and sat down again.
This place was a bit smelly, but he did not intend to leave now. The most important thing now was to nurse his body and recover from his injuries. It was safe here, but once he went out, he could not afford to make any mistakes.
In the belly of a fish, he did not know day and night.
Jiang Wang did not have time to think about time.
His body, which could be considered strong, was often beaten up in the Mountain Sea Realm. He did not become a good doctor after being sick for a long time. After all, his medical skills were profound and could not be improved in a few days. But he was already used to things like repairing the damage of his body.
Since entering the Mountain Sea Realm, he had encountered many dangers. He did not know whether to say that the environment here was too bad or that he should blame his bad luck.
Jiang Wang would not underestimate his strength. If he found it difficult to move, others would definitely not have it easy. Was this degree of difficulty really within the scope of a normal test?
Immodestly speaking, he was already so exhausted. In the past 900 years, how many people in the Chu Country could pass the test here?
He did not know if it had anything to do with the appearance of the Nine Jade Discs …
Just like that, he was lost in his thoughts while carefully healing his injuries.
When his body was almost recovered, he picked up his sword and stood up.
In front of him, the fish and turtles were dead, and their shells were half rotten. Yesterday was not today. Even in the belly of a sea fish, there was also the vicissitudes of life.
Jiang Wang could have cut open the fish's belly and left, but after all, he still had Lai to send him off, so he waited for a while. The moment this big fish ate again, he directly wrapped his body with water essence and rushed out of its throat.
This was a big clumsy fish, relying on the advantage of its body size. It could be domineering. But in the face of those strange beasts, it was just food.
At this moment, its protruding fish eyes turned and looked at the little guy in front of it, obviously a little confused.
Jiang Wang ignored it and summoned the Remembrance Grass. After looking at it for a while, he rushed out of the sea and looked for Zuo Guangshu.
The Remembrance Secret Technique could still sense the traces of Zuo Guangshu's soul, which meant that Zuo Guangshu and the others had not gone too far.
When they separated, Yue Tiannu's injuries had not healed, and Zuo Guangshu was still unconscious. They could not bear the risk, and he did not know how they were doing now …
And at that time, in order to not make Wu Ling and the others suspicious, he had deliberately held the only piece of Orange Song Jade Annulus in his hand. Without the jade annulus, even if Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu wanted to leave, they could not take anything with them. They would be in a very difficult situation.
Thinking of this, he flew very quickly.
After several days of being chased, and then being unconscious for who knew how many days, Jiang Wang had lost his direction again. He could only follow the weak senses of the Remembrance Secret Technique as he flew.
Distant sky, blue sea, blue clothes fluttering in the wind.
Fortunately, there were no more accidents on the way. No strange beast in a bad mood came out to rob him.
About four hours later, the senses of the Remembrance Secret Technique became very clear.
Six hours later, a figure appeared in his field of vision.
Jiang Wang's flying figure came to an abrupt halt in midair.
In his field of vision, the sky was clear and the sea breeze was free.
On the calm blue sea surface, the enormous mechanical Mahoraga was resting.
It stood motionless, its snake head drooping slightly.
Yue Tiannu, who was resting on its left palm, and Zuo Guangshu, who was resting on its right palm, were both sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, as if in meditation. They were completely unaware of Jiang Wang's arrival.
And all of Jiang Wang's attention was focused on the front of the mechanical Mahoraga. About ten zhang away —
It was a man in a wide robe with large sleeves. His side was facing the Mahoraga, and he was sitting cross-legged on the mirror-like surface of the sea. He held a very long fishing rod in his hand. The fishing line hung high, as if it had reached very deep into the water.
The mechanical Mahoraga was to his right. Jiang Wang had just arrived and was to his left.
Qian Yang's Scarlet Eyes could clearly see the side of this person's face. His brows and eyes were clear, and his facial features were distinct …
Jiang Wang gripped his sword tightly.
How could he not remember this person?
The last time they met was in the State of Yong.
On an ordinary street in Wenxi County, the two of them had a very brief exchange.
Zhang Linchuan …
No, last time this person said he was not Zhang Linchuan.
But was this person the same person as last time?
Was this Zhang Linchuan really that Zhang Linchuan?
The more Jiang Wang pondered, the more irritated he became. That person turned his head and glanced at him.
It was this glance that calmed Jiang Wang down.
It was indeed the person he had met in Wenxi County.
That aloof temperament, which seemed to be independent of the world, had left a very deep impression on Jiang Wang.
"I didn't expect it to be you," the person said. His voice was still gentle.
It didn't seem to be hostile.
Jiang Wang looked at the two people in the mechanical Mahoraga's hands, and then looked at him. "What's the matter?"
The person held the fishing rod in his hand and sat motionless. He only said, "That woman tracked me before, so I left a mark. I sensed it not long ago, so I came over to take a look. "
His tone was calm as he described a very simple matter. "They didn't have the Nine Jade Annulus on them, so I thought to wait. Maybe someone would come over … and then I saw you."
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows. "Fishing?"
"Who knows?" the person said. "Maybe I'm the fish."
At this moment, Jiang Wang remembered that Yue Tiannu seemed to have found some traces earlier, and she had indeed tried to track him …
He couldn't help but ask, "That person who fought with the Kui Ox, was it you?"
The person calmly said, "It couldn't be considered a fight. I was just being chased and beaten."
"You made me feel deep veneration, and I can't help but sigh at my own inferiority," Jiang Wang said.
"But you're still holding your sword," the person said.
Jiang Wang said, "It's easy to put it down, but difficult to pick it up again."
The person raised his head slightly and said, "That makes sense."
Jiang Wang thought for a while, then asked, "Do you remember what you said last time? Can you tell me now, who are you? "
"There's nothing hard to say," the man said calmly. "I used to be called Wang Changji … now I'm called Wang Nianxiang."
Jiang Wang almost immediately thought of Wang Changxiang.
Thus, he logically thought of that extremely famous good-for-nothing eldest son of the Wang Clan.
"You're Senior Brother Changxiang's elder brother?" He couldn't hide the surprise in his voice.
Wang Changji didn't immediately answer. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you familiar with Changxiang?"
"Not really, because Senior Brother Changxiang is out on missions almost every day, so I rarely see him," Jiang Wang said casually. "But he's a very good person."
"Is that so …" Wang Changji looked at the fishing line in front of him. "If you don't mind, you can tell me more about him."
Jiang Wang thought that perhaps the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. Then he wondered if they knew the truth behind the destruction of Maplewood City.
Wang Changji was now living under the guise of Zhang Linchuan. He wondered what he had experienced. He seemed to be hostile to Zhang Linchuan. Previously, when he was in Yong, he seemed to be investigating Zhang Linchuan's Lifeless Sect …
Could Wang Changji … become a helper?
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Wang's hand left the sword hilt and he landed on the sea.
"The first time I met Senior Brother Changxiang was in the Dao Merit Hall of the Dao College in Maplewood City. I have a deep impression of him. At that time, I had just entered the inner sect, and I was just a nobody. After Senior Brother Changxiang checked the Dao Merit Hall, he waited for me for a while just to say hello to me … It was a very simple greeting. "
As he recalled, he said, "His smile was very warm. He was the kind of person who was very gentle."
Wang Changji was silent for a long time.
"Anything else?" he asked.
"We once participated in the investigation of Xiaolin Town together. Senior Brother Changxiang's Wind Taoist Technique was very powerful … Later, he also performed well in the Three Cities Dao Discussion. But because he could only release the Breath Tornado once in a short period of time, we all called him Wang Yichui … "
"I seem to have missed a lot." Wang Changji asked again, "Anything else?"
Jiang Wang thought seriously and shook his head regretfully. "Senior Brother Changxiang is too hardworking. He took on more missions than anyone else and was always busy outside. We really didn't have much chance to meet … "
At this point, he asked tentatively, "He should be in the Qinghe County Dao College now, or maybe he went to the National Dao College. Didn't you go to see him? "
"He also died in Maplewood City." Wang Changji said calmly, "He came back to see me."
The surface of the sea was like a mirror, reflecting two people, one sitting and one standing, and an unbearable silence.
The words "restrain your grief" could not be said.
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Wang finally reacted to a word — —
"At that time."
He looked at Wang Changji's profile and asked, "Were you there when Maplewood City was destroyed?"
Wang Changji gripped the fishing rod tightly and said slowly, "I am the White Bone Taoist."
