Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dragon Lurks in the Abyss

and unremarkable to the point of being odd. Jiang Anan widened her eyes and looked for a long time, but she couldn't see what was interesting about it.And at this time, the sky had already darkened....Jiang Wang entered the game!

It was something that Wen Jingxiu was happy to see, but something that Bai Yuxia desperately tried to avoid.

On the Starlit Plain, there is a shrewd and meticulous shopkeeper named Bai. In the south's Langya City, he is the bloodthirsty son of the Bai family. He would rather die than sever ties, using his life to show that this was a trap -

But Jiang Wang still came.

He strode calmly into the hall, putting himself in danger, wanting to see what Wen Jingxiu could do to him.

Life is fleeting, spanning just twenty-eight years. Many have tried to take advantage of it, but they all ended up as lessons for others.

Bai Yu Xia's life has led to this point, the most dazzling sword light bursting forth today. Help him obtain the freedom of death under the pressure of Yue Guo's national power.

But this determination to die was not allowed by Jiang Wangyun.

He is the manager of Baiyujing Wine Shop. The owner of Baiyujing, who can't understand account books but is very stingy, doesn't give him the freedom to die.

The Great Defensive Array of the Yue nation has already been activated. Unless it's forcefully broken, the current state of the Yue nation is unpredictable and shrouded in mystery.

Therefore, Jiang Wang did not come using the Void-Immeasurable Distance.

He had evaded all eyes and ears, hiding himself in the Yue region at an unknown time. Only now, at this crucial moment, could he make his move in time.

The sword qi that was completely out of control within Bai Yu's body was subdued in an instant, becoming orderly and returning to her four limbs like thousands of silk threads.

The blinding, almost liquefied brilliance slowly receded back into the shape of a person.

The surging floodwaters threatened to engulf everything, but were gradually quelled drop by drop, returning to a tranquil sea.

This is a very complex process, requiring extreme precision and control. Yet Jiang Wang appears incredibly relaxed, not even glancing at Bai Yu Xia throughout the entire time, only focusing on Wen Jing Xiu.

He smiled and said, “Emperor of Yue, you say that this pavilion supports you. This pavilion is also very curious—what does this pavilion support you in”

Under the night sky, Wen Jingxiu, who had already fully transformed into her true form, became hazy again and turned into a phantom the instant Jiang Wang appeared.

The monarch stood before his throne, not bothering to sit. His expression remained composed, showing no embarrassment at being caught in a lie. He waved his hand dismissively, attempting to create a barrier between their conversation, keeping it from the ears of others. However, the sound barrier proved fleeting, the chasm of sound immediately bridged. He had no intention of waging war or drawing his sword himself, so he simply gave up.

Even at this moment, he smiled with the grace of a king, gazing directly at Jiang Wang: "Since the Daoist new era began, three thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight years have passed! In this world, it is just a fleeting moment, but for the human race, countless generations have turned over. Enough for three real people to reach the end of their lifespan."

"The national system has reformed the times, but the new system is also gradually aging. Today, various problems are emerging, and minor ailments have become major ones throughout history! Elder Jiang has always supported reform, and I am very clear about this."

He was very eager: “Emperor Yong of the Han Dynasty reformed his government, and Elder Jiang had praised it incessantly. When Zhuang Guo implemented the enlightened new policies, it was rumored that they were supported by Elder Jiang. The spread of the Star Road Method and the establishment of the Taixu Xuanzhang were all promoted personally by Elder Jiang—Elder Jiang, since you are so willing to do things for the people of the world, explore a more correct system, and pursue a fairer future, wouldn't Yue Guo be the most suitable place”

Jiang Wang raised his eyelids slightly: "The emperor of Yue should probably get to know Emperor Yong well, then he would understand why I keep praising him. As for the new policies of Zhuang Kingdom, this official has only been an observer and never participated. You are the Son of Heaven, the ruler of this vast land. You should speak with authority and make your words come true, instead of being as indecisive as tonight!"

"In life, misunderstandings are inevitable. I too often find myself unable to see the whole truth. Old Master Jiang must find this amusing." As the true ruler of a nation, with the might of the state behind him, Wen Jingxiu's attitude was truly humble.

He frequently showed kindness to Jiang Wang, even managing to utter a smile and say: "But I think there might be some misunderstanding. It shouldn't hinder the clear vision of discerning truth. You are an ambitious person, you wouldn't be swayed by petty matters, nor would you make decisions under emotional influence - what do you think of the new policies in Yue Guo Has it infused life into the Qiantang River, and given fairness to the common people"

To be honest, the Yue Guo's new policy was at least mature in its planning. It was much more sophisticated than what a few young men were doing with the "Enlightenment New Policy" in Zhuang Guo.

Therefore, Wen Jingxiu had confidence in letting Jiang Wang make the evaluation.

"You're quite witty," Jiang Wang only smiled. "The warning I gave Ge Fei, he took it to heart, but it seems you haven't"

Wén Jǐngxiù frowned, he truly didn't know about this: "What warning"

“If there is still a chance—ask him yourself.” Elder Jiang Ge withdrew his gaze and ceased communicating with the Emperor of Yue.

Because the sword qi within Bai Yu Xia Ti's body has been completely retracted, her golden body and jade marrow are considered saved. Now she can speak.

"How are you feeling" Jiang Wang looked at Bai Yu Xia and asked.

Bai Yu Xia twitched the corner of her mouth: "Are you asking about my body or my mind"

Here's the translated text, keeping the HTML tags intact:

"Ask them all."

The former is worse, the latter is much worse!

Jiang Wang laughed out loud.

Bai Yu-xia said: "So, the master had anticipated my actions all along Or was it Zhu Bo's suggestion"

This really has nothing to do with Chong Xuan Pang!

Even the highest intellect cannot calculate everything when information is lacking. The current situation in Yue Guo's chessboard is a complete mess, and outsiders can't figure out where the threads lead to at all.

But Jiang Wang didn't feel comfortable boasting about his cleverness in front of Bai Yu Xia. After all, Bai Yu Jing's accounts were calculated by Bai Yu Xia herself. This was someone she knew well and trusted.

He said, "Although he seems lazy at times, when it comes to friends, he is willing to take the initiative—he reached out to me."

"He promised not to tell you," Bai Yu said, her voice complicated.

Jiang Wàng said: "While the forward mouth is certainly strict, what if I beat him up How would he respond then"

Bai Yu-xia smiled: "Then he will have to sell me."

"Elder Jiang Ge!" Wen Jingxiu's voice rang out at this moment: "There's no need to rush the reunion. It just so happens that Bai Aiqing was promoted to Grand Commandant today, I had people set up a table in the palace, let's celebrate together for him, what do you think"

The already exploded fireworks were pressed back into their unlit fuse state. This move made him intuitively feel the strength of Jiang Zhenren.

In the capital city of Tiansheng, there are six true cultivators who have been slain. Outside the Great Wall, Shuras roam freely. These stories seem too distant, like legends, and it's hard to grasp their reality.

A virtuous king values wisdom and talent. In the face of a true prodigy, Wen Jingxiu is happy to display his own qualities.

But Jiang Wang was apparently not tactful enough.

The hand that had held onto Bai Yexia, subduing the chaotic sword qi, retracted and grasped the hilt of Chang Xiangsi. He turned back expressionlessly and looked at Wen Jingxiu: "The sage said that to punish without teaching is cruel, so this department may need to have a good talk with Your Majesty—"

He enunciated each word carefully: “Bai Yu Xia is the manager of Bai Yu Jing Restaurant and controls the money pouch of this pavilion. He is not your favorite official.”

Since there is "teaching," naturally there is "punishment." This statement is almost a naked threat.

For a time, the great land of Yue was shaken by the roar of Qian Tang!

The general of the Yue nation's navy, Zhou Sithun, appeared in the sky atop a massive, illusory ship. He was fully armored and helmetted, glaring down at Jiang Wang: "My emperor of the Yue nation is the legitimate Son of Heaven, the master of the state! His Majesty is magnanimous and unwilling to hold grudges over trivial matters. However, you have insulted me to the point of death, and I cannot remain silent—Jiang Ge's official, please be mindful of your status and adjust your attitude!"

"The Son of Heaven" Jiang Wang looked over coldly: "Haven't I killed before"

How many years has Zhuang Gaoxian been dead

People seem to have forgotten how the ambitious, self-proclaimed King of the West was dragged from his throne. He once had grand ambitions, eyeing the world with a fierce gaze, but in the end, he was betrayed and assassinated, his head sent to the Dragon Palace.

This gaze...

The bright moon seemed to be covered in frost.

Killing intent became tangible, raging like a prison, surging for ten thousand miles. It was like a wave suddenly descending, pressing down on the roaring Qiantang River. Zhou Sixun's figure sank several dozen feet under its weight, and the gigantic phantom of the ship almost collapsed!

As the commander of the Yue Kingdom's Qian Tang Water Army, Zhou Sitxun was a martial arts master himself. With the strength of Yue Kingdom's strongest army, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Dong Zhen. But under just one glance from Jiang Wang, his spirit was crushed.

This is not an ordinary gap.

And Jiang Wang's imposing presence was still radiating.

Even the Emperor Wenjing of Yueguo, at this moment, was as rippling as water.

Please note that "" are not valid HTML tags. If you meant something else, please provide the correct context.

Even a monarch, a rightful emperor, facing today's Jiang Wang who has begun to show hostility, wouldn't be worthy of being seen by a mere phantom.

"Master!" Bai Yu Xia cried out at this moment, his voice almost mournful. "Forget it!"

Forget it.

He no longer seeks revenge.

Let tonight be his last night in Yue Guo, and let this be his final connection with Yue Guo.

He was deeply in trouble, knowing the danger very well. He hated Yue Ting for ever swearing revenge. He said... Forget it!

But once the waves of chaos surged, how could this man who couldn't even control his own life and death declare an end

The entire nation of Yue is in turmoil.

The near-disintegrating phantom of Qian Tang's dukes ship and Wen Jingxiu's swaying figure both came to a standstill.

Bai Yu Xia still maintained the posture of shouting.

Even Jiang Wang, with a sword in hand and cold eyes, remained motionless.

The entire city of Fuji, at that moment, was like a place sculpted from ice, deathly silent.

>

Time and space stand still at this moment!

And the sky, a huge bronze compass appeared.

>

The site was square and imposing, looking from afar like a chessboard with many lines. Twenty-four cardinal directions were engraved around the perimeter, and in the center was a smooth semicircle containing a symbol representing the Big Dipper.

A copper-made long spoon rested in this semi-circle, slowly rotating.

Time and space stand still, the five elements are in chaos, and ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

At this moment, Fuzhou City seemed to stand apart from the world.

Then, as if an invisible giant brush had swept across the sea of clouds under the night sky with a single stroke, it took away causality. The night was still the same night, the moonlight was still the same moonlight, and Fuzhi City remained Fuzhi City...

But Jiang Wang's figure disappeared!

Like a drop of water, blending into the water, vanished without a trace.

The National Grand Formation is a national treasure, and in a way, it symbolizes the achievement of a certain level of national power. Zhuang Gaoxian, who once aspired to expand westward, never saw his National Grand Formation completed before he died. Even Yang Guo, which was once weak and had a declining military, only possessed the National Grand Formation because it was a legacy from its glorious ancestors.

The Great Protective Array of Yue, built by Emperor Wen Zhong of Yue during his reign despite opposition from the court officials, emptied the national treasury but has been protecting this land ever since.

Once activated, every breath consumes a massive amount of Yuan Stones.

Under the protection of the great formation, everything that happened within the Yue nation's borders reverberated internally and did not cause any ripples outside.

Fuji City, things are moving.

The common people were still kneeling, completely unaware of what had happened. Only those bold enough to look up at the sky would, in a fleeting moment, suddenly realize that Elder Jiangge was gone – it was as if a part of their vision had simply vanished. The vast majority would only think that Elder Jiangge had left Yue Guo on his own accord.

Only when one's cultivation reaches the Divine Presence Realm can they faintly perceive what just happened.

Only those who are truly enlightened in this world have the opportunity to perceive the truth!

But at this moment, the only living person present, Emperor Wenjing Xiu of Yue, was sitting on his throne with his eyelids drooping. He looked at Bai Yu Xia and asked in a puzzled tone, "What's going on Where did Lao Jiang go"

White jade flaws remained silent!

After Ge Fei fled, Wen Jing's phantom arrived at Fuji City. He immediately activated the National Protection Formation, calling it a border lockdown to capture Ge Fei. In reality, he had set up a trap for Ge Fei, making it impossible for anyone to interfere. But there was a third reason for this - for Jiang Wang.

Wenjingxiu really had no reason to go to such lengths to deal with Jiang Wang.

So Bai Yu finally knew, sitting on this chessboard, the other player after Gao Zheng, was who!

At the beginning, on the riverside platform, it was the year 3919 of the Dao calendar, when Bai Yu Jing Dong's house and the shopkeeper met for the first time. At that time, Bai Yu Xia said——“Thank you Jiang Tianjiao for recognizing my abilities. But my pride doesn't allow me to accept it.”

Today, he was still unwilling to accept all of this.

But he is no longer allowed to refuse.

"Bai Aiqing" Wen Jingxiu asked again.

Bai Yu Xia raised her eyes to look at the king, and slowly said: "You will regret this."

From this point on, his words could no longer be heard by others.

Wen Jingxiu stopped pretending to be bewildered and calmly met Bai Yu Xia's gaze: "If I had known Gao Xiang would die, I would rather not have started all of this — is regretting it useful"

“Your Majesty, I have to admit that up to this day, you are a king with both skill and courage,” Bai Yuxia said. “If there were no hidden dangers beside the Yue Kingdom, the new policy would indeed be hopeful. On a national level, I think you've done very well. But now you've made the wrong choice, and you believe it’s not fatal.”

Here's the translation, keeping HTML tags as they are:

Wenjing Xiushi did not speak.

"Bai Yu Xia continued, "Bai Ping Fu can die because he was foolishly loyal to you. Bai Yu Xia can die because he is so mediocre. But what about Jiang Wang He is not a pawn you can move. You dragged a divine dragon into your small pond, thinking you could tame it. In fact, when the divine dragon rises, this pond will only be a puddle at its feet. A single heavy sigh could crush it."

Wen Jingxiu said, “What kind of chess piece are you talking about I'm becoming more and more confused. Where did Elder Jiang go”

"I have a word of advice - if Your Majesty still cares for this country and remembers Gao Xiang's efforts, it's not too late to regret. All that has happened before, I consider it my fate. This time, I can also persuade the master to let it go. Bai Yu Jing Restaurant and Yue Country can have nothing to do with each other." Bai Yu Xia said.

Wen Jingxiu sat down on the throne, her expression calm. She waved her sleeve dismissively: "Bai Aiqing, you must be tired too. The new policies have just been implemented, and we still need your hard work — come here, take him down to rest. Remember, don't let anyone disturb him."

Even before her golden body and jade marrow were fully recovered, Bai Yu Xie was taken away. Her struggles were meaningless, her voice unheard.

The phantom of the Qian Tang Tower ship, once again solidified.

Zhou Sithun stood at the bow of the boat. After a moment's thought, he still spoke: "Your Majesty, about Elder Jiang..."

>

Wen Jing Xiu raised his hand to stop him: "I gave him a chance. At any time, as long as he nodded, I would support him unconditionally. This was a very simple choice. But Bai Yu Xia was determined, and Jiang Wang was also determined - I had no choice but to be determined as well."

“Zhou Qing.” He looked up at the distant night sky: “We have no way back now.”

Zhou Sithxun lowered her head.

"Where's Ge Fei" Wen Jingxiu asked again.

"Currently...I still don't know." Grand Tutor Gong Zhiliang's voice echoed through the Guardian Array.

"Don't know" Wen Jingxiu retracted her gaze, wondering if she had heard wrong.

Gong Zhiliang's voice also carried a hint of doubt: "He seems...to have really run away.""What do you want to do"“If you have to pay!” said the thin man, pushing forward.Old Zheng remained silent, only shaking the steel knife in his hand.Jiang Wang looked at the two clueless fellows, one...
