Chapter 69: A Sword Comes from the West
at least a hundred years. Who's right about the specific time"Jiang Wang nodded thoughtfully.Perhaps, the illusory realm is not a secret to some levels of beings. Human ignorance is often simply beca...Random Recommendations:
This aura was not the peak aura.
But it originated from the prosperous country of the East, with the ambition to strike at the East China Sea!
At present, outsiders may not know, but Cao Jie and Song Huai both know—Jiang Wang is cultivating in Chang Guo.
Judging by their interactions, Jiang Wang is not a very sharp person.
His life path, besides cultivation, is still cultivation.
He was even peaceful, the kind of person who could stay put on his own patch of land until the end of time—provided you didn't provoke him.
Unfortunately, he must have been upset today.
The Duke of Cailing's residence was a place that Jiang Wang would always visit when he came to Linzi.
The relationship between Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan is that of open and candid friends who often visit each other's homes.
The matter of the East Sea has been settled, just like this sea-corner stele standing here, calming the waves. Both Qi Jing and the other party have reached a result that they can accept, and are both preparing to withdraw.
>
But whether the account given by the people of Jingguo was enough for Li Longchuan, remains to be seen.
But was the fairness that the people of Qi sought truly fair to Li Longchuan
Perhaps Song Huai and Cao Jie both need to think about it.
Of course, they also have the right to not care.
But history has time and again proven that those who do not care will ultimately have to pay the price.
This Jiang Wang is gentle and composed, someone who can smile even when insulted. He often gives the impression of being harmless. But he can also be reckless and disruptive, capable of causing chaos in Tianjing City!
Time-wise, Jiang Wang should have received the message around this time.
Qi Wen led his fleet into the air and publicly declared, "Wang Kun killed Li Longchuan." This news spread throughout the nearby seas.
Since it concerns powerful dukes and marquesses, involving a rivalry between two major powers in the East China Sea, all parties involved would know about it immediately. Jiang Wang would certainly not lack channels of information.
And he had no more phrases, only a sword coming from the west!
What does it mean
"Grandmaster Taiyuan," Song Huai looked at Lou Yue: "You go back first and inform His Majesty about the affairs of the East Sea. Don't let him worry endlessly. As for the aftermath here, it will be handled by this old man."
Ji Fenghzhou traversed the ancient heavenly road, refining the Eternal Heaven Tablet to suppress the East Sea, and then recalled the long river, commanding nine dragons to hold up the sun forever to suppress the Mountain River Seal and the Long Jun of the Long River. He can be said to have unparalleled magical powers. How could he not know about this situation in the East Sea If he hadn't nodded, how could Ling Chen Zhenjun have left the Chaofeng Heaven Tablet behind
This is just a veiled way of "avoiding the sharp edge".
Wang Kun killing Li Longchuan's matter, the beginning and end are not yet clear. If it is implicated in Lou Yue again, it will be difficult to wash clean for a while, and the scene will probably be very ugly.

...what if Jiang Wang were like Tian Anping and took responsibility...
Although Lou Yue was the top expert in the Central Plains, Jiang Wang was the one who pushed the limits of ancient and modern martial arts to their peak. After withdrawing from his Heavenly Human Form, he even challenged the four masters of the major martial arts sects, once again shaking history!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even Song Huai couldn't be fully confident about Lou Yue.
Then, I'll leave it to the Master!
As he pushed aside a clump of tangled vines, Lou Yue cast a deep glance at Tian Anping before stepping into the hidden structure.
As a powerhouse standing at the peak of the True Realm, he wouldn't fear any opponent of the same level, including Jiang Wang. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, as the real person of Jingguo, as long as he doesn't agree to a life-or-death duel, just standing there would be enough for Jiang Wang to do nothing about him.
>
But it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. On this trip to the East Sea, Jingguo suffered a heavy loss, and he himself lost everything. Since he has already decided to withdraw from the East Sea, there is no need to have any extra conflicts at this time.
By now, at his level, every move comes with a price. He's long past the age of reckless bravado.
Cao Jieshi turned to Tian Anping: "How is General Tian's injury Should we return first to recuperate"
Tian Anping's chainmail enveloped him, covering him in an instant as if he were clad in black armor.
The chainmail armor shell was fixed there, and from the ring eyes of the chains one could see inside. The black snake-like chains were still moving constantly, making a crisp sound as they collided with each other. There was also the sound of chains rubbing against flesh, grinding against bone, a sound that made one's teeth ache.
>
He was probably... treating his own wounds. It was pretty gruesome on the battlefield, though.
“I can still hold on.” Tian Anping’s muffled voice echoed within the chainmail: “If possible, could I request the chief physician to come and administer a single needle of Jinghong”
The Linzi Taiyi Hospital has three sets of acupuncture techniques, passed down from the imperial physician Hong Yan during Emperor Wu's reign. They have been perfected over time and are known as the "signature technique" of the hospital. They are comparable to the famous "Twelve Needles of Dong Wang Gu" by Dong Wang.
The "sleeping fairy needle" mentioned here was once experienced by Jiang Wang, who returned from Faxiashu, and Chong Xuan.
And this "Stunning Glance Needle" is specifically designed for real human bodies, able to mend deficiencies and greatly benefit the soul. Each needle requires a huge amount of resources. Just the needles used for treatment need to be soaked in a specially prepared medicinal pool using secret methods for three thousand days. In addition, many of its medicinal ingredients have expiration dates, making storage difficult. Over a period of ten years, only three needles can be produced within that time frame, making them extremely precious.
Tian Anping's request didn't seem to be for healing, at least not his current injury. In their brief exchange, Lou Yue had harmed his physical body, but hadn't touched his spirit.
>
But with Tian Anping's identity and his contributions to the "East China Scenic Pursuit" incident, this request would certainly not be refused.
After all, he was fighting for the country, that's why Lou Yue beat him up like that.
"Cao Jie merely said, 'I have sent a message to Linzi, using the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to request someone. The Director of Imperial Physicians will arrive as quickly as possible—you should go to Jueming Island and recuperate for a while first.'"
Within that tangled chain, Tian Anping's face was visible. At this time, his sunken cheekbones had already protruded back out, but they still felt somewhat soft and swollen, collapsing at a touch.
"It's fine," he said vaguely. "When General Wǔ'ān Hou arrives, I would like to wait here and see him for myself."
“If Master Tian says it’s alright, then it’s alright.” Cao looked at him, half reminding and half warning: “Master Jiang came as a friend, he is inevitably anxious. If his words are too harsh, it’s not his intention. Master Tian should be magnanimous. Answer his questions truthfully. Remember, even though he is away from the country, he is not an enemy.”
Tian Anping had by now managed to steady himself, swaying as he flew towards the Sea Corner Stele. He carefully observed this marvel of engineering from the Jin Dynasty, a testament to the ingenuity of their time. There were so many techniques layered into the stele; it would take him a long time to study them all… The joys of life were truly plentiful!

Perhaps he heard Cao Jie's words, perhaps not.
His eyes were focused, and he only said, “Lord Duhu need not worry about me. I am merely... very interested in him.”
Who are you interested in
It was a sudden voice, as if it rang in his ear. Though it was a question, it was asked with no fluctuation, no curiosity. Each word was so clear and cold, as if chiselled with the edges of stone, it cut through his senses!
Tian Anping suddenly turned around!
Then the sound that suddenly descended, broke directly in mid-air. From the afterimage of the sound, a man in blue walked out.
The sky was just now, revealing the night.
One hour of night had passed, and the East China Sea welcomed an hour of daylight.
>
It was late afternoon.
The red sun was also in the sea, dyeing the sky with a glow of crimson, and the water merged seamlessly with the horizon.
In this world, the person most qualified to compete for the title of "World's Number One True," who has reached the limit of true understanding, Jiang Wang, is walking on water between Heaven and Sea. He appears as a clear dividing line, separating the confused sky and sea in twilight.
The world-famous Chang Xiang Si sword hung at his waist, its divine dragon wood scabbard unable to conceal the edge that was no longer held back.
He had such an unruffled pair of eyes, gazing at Tian Anping with such indifference.
"And he repeated, "Who are you interested in"
Standing on the war-stricken ship, Qi Wen directed the fleet's slow retreat. He inexplicably felt the gunstock in his hand grow cold. Despite it being summer, the barrel seemed to be frosted with autumn chill.
He left at the time of 申 (Shen), and arrived just at the time of 酉 (You).
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
But it was as if night had fallen again, the weather making people feel cold and chilly.
"You." Tian Anping stretched his mouth wide, looking seriously at Jiang Wang, and then said with the same earnestness, "I'm very interested in you. Not just today, not just one day."
In Qixing Valley, in Jicheng, on the Qixia Battlefield, every time Jiang Wang appeared before his eyes, she was different. His interest in Jiang Wang never diminished with time, but rather grew stronger day by day.
The heavens hold infinite mysteries, the earth harbors endless secrets, and humanity possesses boundless potential.
The vast world, there are too many things, left his time.
Once upon a time, there were many people who interested him, but in the end, they all faded away, losing all their mystery, leaving him feeling empty. Jiang Wang was one of the few people who could consistently hold his interest.
He is now open and honest with Jiang Wang in his communication, which could also be considered a form of sincerity.
"Then..." Jiang Wang stood with his hands by his sides, his sword unsheathed. But his straight posture, standing on the sea surface, was like a sword piercing the twilight.
The notorious and fearsome General Zan Yu, Tian Anping, whose appearance was now terrifying beyond measure, had no ripple in his eyes.
He simply walked straight towards Tian Anping, striding like a warrior ascending to heaven. Every step he took on the straight path was like a blade cutting through the ground. He asked: "How do you plan to understand me"
>
With questions, with pain, with life and death

Splash!

Tian Anping also walked towards Jiang Wang, dragging a body full of chains. Many chains broke free from the armor and swayed gently, like iron tentacles: "If I could..."
"Tien Shuai!" Cao Jie interrupted at the right time: "The Imperial Physician has arrived on Jueming Island, your injuries are very serious, you can't delay any longer. Go see what the Imperial Physician has to say first."
This statement is more like an order than a piece of advice.
This is a tricky one! I can't directly process HTML tags. I'm designed to understand and translate text within those tags. Could you please provide the text content inside the `
` tag I'll be happy to translate it for you.
There is a considerable distance between Linzi and Jueming Island.
The Imperial Physician could arrive so quickly, almost as soon as Cao Jie's side sent a message back, they immediately descended. This could only be achieved through the "Tianxing Altar" set up on Jueming Island. It was a building connected to the Zhexing Building in Linzi City, capable of crossing blockades at the fastest speed and deploying powerful individuals.
"Tian Shuai, board the ship! I'll give you a ride!"
As fellow commander of the Nine Armies, Qi Wen also felt that the atmosphere was wrong and spoke up at this time.
>
"No need." Tian Anping said, then to Jiang Wangdao: "I think we'll meet again."
And then, a chain vibrated and flew through the air, disappearing in an instant.
Qi Wen felt like he was slapping his hot face against a cold butt. It was utterly baffling, thinking this person was truly confused and clueless. However, he simply dropped the tiger-head gun from his hand and said nothing else.
Cao Jie walked up to Jiang Wang's side and raised his hand as if he wanted to pat him on the shoulder. There was a sentiment of comradeship from their past battles, and Jiang Wang being his former superior officer. But he felt that Jiang Wang was too cold and distant at this moment, making it inappropriate to get close. Finally, he lowered his hand and sighed, "My condolences."
Jiang Wang looked up at the sea corner stele in front of him. The stele stood tall like a perilous peak, towering over the sea surface for three thousand feet, making people's necks ache just looking at it.
A person under the stele is like a mayfly.
He said, “When I came forward, I didn't see this stele.”
Cao Jie said, "Today is just the beginning."
After some thought, he added: "This is one of the nine Eternal Sky Tablets built by the Jingguo for the pacification of Pinghai. After the Plan for Subduing the Sea failed, they only managed to retrieve this one. The esteemed True Monarch Lingchen, deeply understanding righteousness, erected the tablet here to guard the border of the Peaceful Sea."
"Oh." Jiang Wang nodded.
Today, Jiang Wang is not very polite, unlike usual.
Cao Jie didn't seem to mind. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there some kind of conflict between Master Jiang and Master Tian Is there something I don't know about"
It was a stroke of luck that both Jiang Wang and Tian Anping had once served under his command. During the War against Xia, he had strategically placed them on different battle lines. As expected, they both excelled in their respective roles and showcased their unique skills.
These two people's styles on the battlefield are almost completely opposite.
...those who have proven themselves on the battlefield and reached a certain position can be evaluated more strictly.
This is a test of the translation system.
Jiang Wang's thoughts on the battlefield were too naive and idealistic. He always pursued the least casualties, even risking his own life. He often charged at the front, oblivious to the principle that a banner should not be moved lightly. Even after fighting many battles, he only honed his personal martial arts skills and failed to become a renowned general. It was only with the wise command of someone like Chong Xuan Sheng that they could earn the first merit on the eastern front and even achieve a victory that led to Jiang Wang's knighthood.

While Tian Anping was overly harsh, he treated both enemies and his own people alike. He only cared about the outcome and completely disregarded human life. Let alone showing compassion to his soldiers. His severity was such that even his first achievement on the northern front was achieved through bloodshed; the emperor himself could not reward him for it.
If such two people had some old grudges between them, this commander who led the campaign against Xia had both the qualifications and the intention to mediate between the two generals.
"I wouldn't say there's any contradiction, I just find him a little annoying." That's what Jiang Wang had wanted to say.
>
But this unpleasant feeling also sank to the bottom in a very lonely way.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In my heart, I merely coldly remember that Tian Anping had done some things, but those things didn't seem to be worth mentioning. Within the outline of heaven, it was nothing special.
Jiang Wang took out a lunchbox from his bosom and retrieved a piece of pastry from it. He gently bit into it and chewed slowly. At last, he tasted bitterness again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I'll hand you this food box, Cao Jie: "These are pastries made by the Duke of Yu from Southern Chu. Try some, Lord Hou."
There is only one piece of cake left in the box.
Lord Yu's culinary skills, especially in the kitchen, were unparalleled and unmatched. The pastries he personally made were priceless.
Cao Jie was a Duke of the State, but he had never tasted it.
He always regarded Jiang Wang as his lucky charm, with a certain amount of old friendship between them. Of course, he wouldn't refuse such intimacy. He casually took the lunch box and picked up the last piece of pastry in his hand.
On the Tianya platform, Song Huai watched the direction where Tian Anping disappeared, as if savoring something. He then turned back with a touch of regret and looked at Jiang Wang: "Long time no see! Jiang Zhenren, are you well"
"I am ill," Jiang Wang said indifferently. "I have a grave ailment. I am deeply trapped in the state of Heavenly and Mortal, unable to extricate myself, at any moment I could become a true Heavenly and Mortal. Now, I rely solely on this 'Pure Intent Divine Contemplation Cake' to suppress it."
Jiang Wang's second proof of heaven and man, things that are beyond one's control, until now, not many people know about it.
These days I have been searching everywhere for the transmission of sealing techniques, seeking them in the Eastern Territories and practicing in Chang Guo. Some people may have heard rumors, but no one knows the specifics.
Cao Jie was not the one who knew things too well.
He has too much to worry about!
At this moment, he held a lunch box in one hand and the last piece of "Jingyi Shen Ding Cake" in the other, just about to take a bite—his open mouth froze there.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What will you do with the last piece"
"I think I probably won't need it anymore," Jiang Wang said. "Li Longchuan is my friend. A friend I've known for a very long time. The last time we communicated was before he died, and he wanted to find a way to fix my problems."
He probably doesn't want me to forget him, does he But he left first.
"Lee Longchuan's in trouble, I can't just ignore it. But how can I help What right do I have On what grounds Is it even my place You guys seem to have already finished discussing this."
"In life, there are too many entanglements: family ties, friendships, past kindnesses and grudges... one can't help but be bound by them."
Sometimes I hate my indecisiveness and don't understand why I live such a hesitant life.
"After I got sick, I felt lighter."
"When I fall into the eternal cycle of heaven and man, I will not care about anything, nor will I worry about anything. I will only remember my last command to myself."

So—
He looked at Cao Jie, Song Huai, Ye Henshui, Qi Wen, and even Qin Zheng, looking at everyone present: "Can you tell me now how Li Longchuan died"ligible to enter.">Ye Qingyu's voice was still calm, but her words inadvertently carried a hint of pride. This was determined by her strength, and Lingxiao Pavilion should indeed have such pride."Will...
