After parting ways with Li Fengyao, Jiang Wang felt a sense of relief as he left the strictly symmetrical brick and tile of Jiu City.
This wasn't only because Tian Anping hadn't discovered what had happened on Planet Yin, but also because the city itself gave off a natural sense of oppression.
Every table and chair was placed in a fixed position. Living in such a city would probably drive one crazy. Of course, this was the Tian Clan's city. Outsiders didn't have the right to interfere, nor could they interfere.
It was worth mentioning that Lian Shao of the Southern Lian Clan had also successfully passed through the Sevenstar Pavilion's secret realm and had specially come to thank Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang had also given him the Swallow Owl's Beak and asked him to pass it on to Lian Que, asking him to help forge the weapon. He had also attached a letter stating his request.
He didn't have to worry about Lian Shao being greedy for the treasure. Firstly, Lian Que had acknowledged Lian Shao's character. Secondly, Lian Que's status within the Lian Clan was getting higher and higher. With something like a life tablet, the Lian Clan wouldn't run away.
He had taken Li Fengyao's carriage to Jiu City. He had also hired a carriage to return to Linzi. It wasn't because he wanted to be lazy, but because he could cultivate while rushing back.
He had to make the best use of his time and consolidate his gains from the secret realm as soon as possible. The process of becoming stronger didn't allow for the slightest bit of slack.
Thirty percent of Qi's carriage business was the Bao Clan's business. This included transporting goods, renting carriages, and even hiring coachmen.
Probably only a powerful country like Qi, with its peaceful borders, could afford to do this kind of transportation business. Only a power like the Bao Clan could take over such a large scale business in one go.
Right now, Jiang Wang had only hired a coachman and rented a carriage. Apart from the Bao Clan's carriage business, no other carriage business could transport people from Jiu City to Linzi across several prefectures.
Perhaps other carriage businesses could do it, but the Bao Clan made it impossible for them.
Professional coachmen were well-trained. Since the employer didn't have any intention of speaking, they remained silent the entire time. They brought their own rations and water, so they rarely had to stop along the way.
Jiang Wang sat cross-legged in the carriage and spent most of his time immersed in cultivation. Other than tending to the Isolated Island of Heaven and Earth and exploring the Fog of Obscurity, he also went to the Great Illusionary Land to fight a few battles.
After missing the blessed land challenge on September 15th, he naturally landed on Mount Gezao, which was ranked 36th among the blessed lands. There were only 550 points left in his production.
This bit of merit was nothing much, but this was already the last place in the upper thirty-six blessed lands. If his ranking dropped any further, he would fall into the lower thirty-six blessed lands.
Jiang Wang didn't know what he would lose, but he knew it wouldn't be a good thing. However, it was very difficult to increase one's strength in one go. There was no other way except for hard work. No matter how anxious he was, the Blessed Lands were not something that he could defend with his current strength.
After not fighting in the Great Illusionary Realm for a period of time, his ranking had dropped quite a bit. However, the current Jiang Wang was much stronger than before he entered the Seven Stars Valley.
With consecutive victories, he quickly regained the glory of being a Great Void Realm cultivator. Moreover, this time, he did not feel any strain at all. He very naturally looked at Liu He First.
Fifth, fourth, third …
He didn't stop until Jiang Yan appeared.
After a long silence, Jiang Yan's voice rang out in the Heavenly Palace again. "Your strength has improved very quickly. It's time to consider how to deal with Sacred Lord White Bones."
"How have you been living during this time?" Jiang Wang calmed himself down and asked.
"Thank you for your hospitality. It's not bad."
He didn't know whether Jiang Yan's silence during this time was because he was in seclusion or because he was disturbed by the Seven Stars Tower's Secret Realm.
However, he definitely wouldn't answer Jiang Wang's doubts.
Jiang Wang followed his words and asked, "Do you think it's possible for me to defeat Sacred Lord White Bones now?"
"When you reach the Inner Mansion, coupled with my understanding of the White Bones Path, you'll have a 50% chance."
It didn't matter if Jiang Yan was being overconfident or if he was truly confident. Jiang Wang had already gotten the information he wanted. "It seems that your strength has improved greatly during this period of time."
Jiang Yan's answer was somewhat meaningful. "Of course, you and I are one. The stronger you are, the stronger I will be. "
"Is that so?" Jiang Wang didn't comment.
He didn't believe such words at all. His strength was obtained through his own cultivation bit by bit. He knew very well that none of his strength had been "shared". Then how did he make Jiang Yan stronger? Jiang Wang didn't believe that there was such a powerful person in this world who could enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
However, Jiang Yan had always been mysterious. For the time being, he could only leave him alone. When he opened the Inner Mansion, the Tongtian Palace would have the possibility to temporarily "replace" him. At that time, he would have more room to maneuver, and he would have more choices in how to deal with Jiang Yan.
So he continued to cultivate.
The Isolated Island of Heaven and Earth was full of vitality. The soaring Taoist veins had almost reached the border of the Fog of Obscurity before returning. The First Inner Mansion was like a lone lamp, shining brightly in the Fog of Obscurity. Jiang Wang could even feel the Seed of Divine Power that was ready to move, waiting for him to pluck it.
He had to wait a little longer. Jiang Wang told himself.
Immersed in cultivation, his perception of time and distance was very blurry.
However, when an instinctive sense of danger appeared, Jiang Wang immediately opened his eyes.
A black shadow dashed into the carriage. "Be quiet, or I'll kill you!"
The black shadow's movements were very practiced. He casually threw down a soundproof formation disk, took out a dagger, and viciously aimed it at Jiang Wang.
The coachman was completely unaware of what was happening in the carriage. He was still driving obediently.
The wheels rolled along the official road, producing a monotonous sound.
However, the situation inside the carriage was different.
The black shadow who had arrogantly dashed into the carriage was now pressed against the corner of the carriage, facing in and back out. His entire face was squeezed into a right angle by the two sides of the carriage.
Jiang Wang easily grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and pressed him against the corner of the carriage. His other hand was playing with the gleaming dagger.
"Who sent you? What do you want? "
Jiang Wang felt that this was absurd.
This black shadow was really too inexplicable.
He completely believed that someone would want to hire an assassin to assassinate him. After all, he had offended many people. However, those who knew a little about him wouldn't place their hopes on such a powerful assassin.
However, if it was a robbery, the person in this carriage didn't look like a rich person. If it was for money, it seemed that he lacked both vision and ambition.
"Master … Master, it's a misunderstanding!" The black shadow's big face was pressed against the corner of the carriage. He was squeezed out with great effort and difficulty. "I can explain. I can definitely explain!"
As soon as the voice came out, Jiang Wang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Therefore, he let go of his hand. When the person turned around, he took off his mask.
"It's you?"
Both Jiang Wang and the black shadow were stunned.
Jiang Wang recognized that this person was the assassin he met in Qingyang Town, Su Xiuxing from World Tower!
"Master Jiang! Long time no see! "Su Xiuxing reacted quickly. His voice was low and dignified.
Jiang Wang's response was very direct. He held the dagger he seized from Su Xiuxing horizontally in front of the man so that he could see it clearly. Then, he exerted force in his hand and broke it into two pieces.
His original intention was to show his ruthlessness. At the same time, he also wanted to warn this guy not to talk too much nonsense and to get to the point quickly.
However, after not seeing Su Xiuxing for a while, he forgot about Su Xiuxing's stingy character.
The man was directly furious. He rushed over with bared fangs and brandished his claws. "My dagger! You destroyed my dagger again! This is the second time!! "
His voice was somewhat mournful.
Jiang Wang kicked him back. He was paralyzed there, crying. "Give me back my dagger!"
His voice was mournful and sorrowful.
Those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears.
