gged away.>Lin Zhengren was stunned.He knew his father had long been worn down by alcohol and lust. That whip was a calculated blow, not meant to truly harm him, but enough to leave him gasping for br...The vast Jingguo Eastern Heaven Master's Mansion was eerily silent.

When Jiang Wang pressed his sword.

Just after ascending to the throne of Cave True, seeing True Immortality and becoming a top figure in the Central Empire, Jing Guo, the current generation's prodigy, instantly became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At this moment, everyone has to face two questions.

The first question - Under Jiang Wang's sword strike, can Chen Suan survive

In fact, when this problem becomes a problem, the answer is already there.

Jiang Wang's strength has been repeatedly verified in one legendary experience after another. As the youngest real person in history, he hasn't made a real move in the mortal world for a long time. To what extent his current strength has reached, Chen Suan must be insufficient to test. This is a consensus held by everyone.

Now Jiang Wang said that with only one sword strike, no one dared to say for sure that Chen Suan could withstand it.

The second question is: Will Jiang Wang kill Chen Suan

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case.

Even if one were to raise the banner of great humaneness and wear the tiger skin of Taixu Pavilion, even if Chen Suan's actions indeed violated the law and he indeed refused to be arrested, providing Jiang Wang with a reason to strike, the price of killing Chen Suan would inevitably be heavy.

Jiang Wang should not be so foolish.

But logically speaking, Jiang Wang shouldn't have inquired about Tianxia City, let alone come to the capital of Dajing!

Can Jiang Wang's current state be understood by common sense

Ignoring all the onlookers, the one truly facing the choice is Chen Suan who has just stepped out of his shell.

At this moment, he stood on the octagonal platform, finally seeing the truly magnificent view from a high place, just as he had expected. Finally, he had boarded the wave of time... but now he had to face the most dazzling prodigy of the world, wielding a sword with no hidden murderous intent.

“I had three opportunities to compete with you for glory. I lost one, gave up on two, and I am not willing to accept this.”

He possesses heaven-defying supernatural abilities and, in theory, can calculate all possibilities. By grasping the heavenly secrets, he is sure to capture the elusive "one" that inevitably escapes.

If the disparity in strength between two parties is significant to a certain degree, fate only has one outcome: "death." There's no other possibility.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

To grasp the timing of events is merely to know one's time of death in advance.

Chen Suan had always been a rational man. Just like when he was sent as an envoy to the grasslands, bearing the might of Jing Guo's victory, he intended to make a name for himself and stand firm amidst the tides of time. However, sitting below watching the battle, he calculated countless times, but never could he figure out a way to defeat Jiang Wang. In the end, he simply didn't even attempt it, quietly disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, he was looking at Jiang Wang. Even with the cultivation of seeing through the world's truth, he still couldn't see that thread of heavenly 機 that should have been his.

Perhaps, this is the "truth" of this world and this time.

Unlike others who were uncertain, he knew clearly that facing this sword, there was no way he would survive.

But he still drew his sword, facing the terrifying pressure brought by Jiang Wang like an abyss: "To wield the world-renowned sword Chang Xiangsi, proving my true self—Chen Mou is fortunate indeed!"

Jiang Wang had no hesitation, taking a step forward and drawing his sword!

The blade flashed half an inch, its cold light illuminating the entire sky.

With one hand on his sword hilt, he sheathed his blade, drawing back the sweeping arc of sword light into its scabbard.

Time and space flowed like pages turning, an elderly man with a kind face and towering stature appeared before Jiang Wang. He seemed to have always been there. With a flick of his finger, the wind subsided, and the years fell silent: "Little friend, your killing intent is vast!"

Just now, Chen Suan, who was still willing to die rather than surrender, immediately sheathed his sword and stepped down from the divination platform, bowing his head in reverence: "Master!"

Just now, Jiang Wang, who was able to have a good chat and communicate patiently with Chen Suan, was now emotionally intense, roaring as he summoned the divine light of awakening and forcefully drew his sword!

His eyes were wide with fury, his blue robes billowing: “Does the Eastern Celestial Master dare to attack me Is he trying to protect Chen Suan and prevent the Tai Xu Pavilion from carrying out its duties!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

At this moment, the only one who could appear here to stop this sword strike is naturally Dongtian Master Song Huai.

In other words, this is the reason why Jiang Wang came to Dongtianshifu to find Chen Suan, and also why Chen Suan was waiting for Jiang Wang at Dongtianshifu. It's a coincidence.

They are all waiting for the appearance of Dongtian Shi.

Jiang Wang swaggered into Tianjing City, repeatedly acting crazy in front of Jing Guo's bottom line.

The Jing Guo side only allowed young people like Xu San to come forward, intending to make it seem like a matter between juniors, suppressing any commotion and downplaying the situation.

While Jiang Wang went directly to the Dongtian Temple, even allowing Chen Suancheng to draw his sword again, he was determined to make a big scene out of it, escalating the matter! Killing a Chen Suan at the Divine Arrival Realm is completely different from killing one at the Cave Truth Realm.

Of course Song Huai understood, but he couldn't allow it.

Whatever the stakes are in this game, how can anyone possibly use Chen's life and death as the wager

Chen Suan participated in the scramble for favorable positions at blessed lands, but it brought him no personal benefits; he did it all for Jing Guo! When people used this against him, Jing Guo could only choose silence because they couldn't argue back. They had no "reason" on their side.

But Chen Suan would have to be killed because of this matter, and over there, it's still silent!

The person who killed Chen Suan will certainly pay the price. That price might be extremely painful. But what difference does it make to Chen Suan, who is already dead

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Song Huai stood up, his expression didn't show anger, but rather looked at Jiang Wang with interest, sizing up this newcomer who had just arrived in the world: "What if I did"

Just like Chen Suan's refusal to surrender in front of Jiang Wang, it can be seen as a joke. Jiang Wang's intensity in front of Song Huai can also be enjoyed as a spectacle.

The intense emotions on Jiang Wang's face vanished in an instant. He calmly met Dong Tianshi's gaze, and politely said, "Since that is the case, please step back three feet."

"Oh" Song Huai's hand remained on Jiang Wang's sword hilt, pressing down on the peerless sharpness of it, but he only smiled and asked, "Why"

“Before I came, I made a promise to all of you, and to the Lord of the Void, that on this journey I would uphold the fairness of the Illusory Realm of Emptiness. No matter who is involved, I will show no leniency.” Jiang Wang said: “The Celestial Master is a role model for the world. Jiang Wang is just an inexperienced youth, but heaven’s principles are clear. One sword will bear the burden. This responsibility on my shoulders leaves no room for retreat.”

He stared at the Eastern Celestial Master, who stood at the peak of power in the Jing Kingdom, with eyes as still as the deep sea: "If the Celestial Master wishes to stop me, I shall draw my sword and fight. Though I may not be able to withstand a single blow, I shall paint the sky red with blood!"

He raised his head and said, "With Jiang Wang's death, everyone in the world sees the true face of the central power betraying its promises. What's wrong with that!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"Just kidding." Dongtian Master said kindly, "Back then, when Xu Yuan was constructing the Illusory Realm, I was the first to agree. How could I possibly oppose Taixu Pavilion"

Jiang Wang looked at him quietly: "But Jiang hasn't been joking."

“It seems today, you won’t be able to let Chen off without killing him.” Because Song Huai personally stopped Jiang Wang's sword, he clearly understood how ruthless this strike was.

Jiang Wang left himself no room for retreat, his resolve to kill was unwavering. If no one stood in his way, he would definitely kill Chen Suan. Just as Chen Suan refused to back down even unto death, he could only stand in front of the sword.

Jiang Wang walked himself to a dead end, and also drove Chen Suan to a dead end. Then, using Chen Suan's dead end, he forced the Dongtian Shifu to take action. As the Eastern Heaven Master, he had no choice but to intervene.

To Jing Guo, it might be a simple calculation to replace Chen with Jiang. But this calculation wouldn't work on Penglai Island.

"I cannot tolerate Chen Suan's actions, because the immutable laws of the universe cannot tolerate them either. This is something that all sentient beings in the world cannot endure!" Jiang Wang spoke with unwavering determination and conviction: "Chen Suan has already confessed his guilt and openly refused to surrender. How could I back down Heavenly Master, today it will be either you who kills me, or I who kills Chen Suan. There is probably no third option."

"Bold and valiant!" Song Huai praised, then sighed: "It's a pity that despite your intensity, what I see is not grand ambition, but deep hatred."

He gazed kindly at Jiang Wang, his eyes brimming with the intensity of an elder: "Jiang Wang, you are a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, bearing responsibility for the world, shouldering the weight of ten thousand jun! If you merely indulge in past affairs and confine yourself to private resentment, what will become of the countless lives under heaven"

“I have always respected the Celestial Master, but I don't understand what you're saying. What private grudge could I possibly have with Jing Guo

Although there were accusations of demonic affiliation earlier, and later, when the Heavenly Emperor’s envoy, Zhuang Gaoxian, along with certain individuals within the Daoist sect, went into the demon realm to persecute… all those past events, Jing Guo has since forgiven me.”

“I was having a lively conversation with Ban Xia Shangzhen outside the Fenglin City, and I clasped hands with Fu Dongxu at the Starry Moon Plain!”

He retorted, "Today's events, regardless of Xiao Linzheng, Zhong Zhirou, Wang Kun, or Chen Suan, we had almost no interaction with them before. We can say there was no animosity in the past, and no feud in recent times. Upon coming to Zhongyu, we all conduct official business and act according to the law. Where does this talk of personal vendetta come from"

Song Huai looked at him meaningfully: "You and the Six Friends of Jingtian, do you have no resentment"

"It's just that I received a cold reception at the Jingtian Mansion and was insulted with spirit stones. It's not as if I hate them, it's not that serious!" Jiang Wang resolutely refused to mention the yellow-faced old monk, focusing every word on the investigation of Tianxia City. He spoke in a soft voice: "But after all, I am only twenty-seven years old this year, young and vigorous, I can't bear grievances. This anger in my heart won't go away, I can't sleep at night."

“Oh, I see!” Song Huai said: “Young people have strong temperaments, it’s understandable. If it's just a small misunderstanding, why make such a scene This old man could perhaps arrange for you to meet face-to-face, clear things up, and resolve the conflict.”

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

“No, I’ve already been to Jingtian Mansion and given them face. It’s them who didn’t accept.” Jiang Wang said slowly: “Now it’s not me who wants to meet them. It’s them who are coming here, to Tianjing City, to see me.”

Song Huai released his hold on Chang Xiangsi's hand and said gracefully, "The misunderstanding arose because of them. It is only right for them to come explain things clearly."

>

"Speaking of it, Chen Suan's crimes, though the evidence is conclusive and he openly refused to surrender. But Dong Tiansi acted righteously, killing his kin with his own hands and capturing him. This Pavilion doesn't have to take action anymore. Afterward, there will naturally be a review of the case by members of the Ju Kui Pavilion, supervised by the Tai Xu Daozhu. I reckon the punishment will be commensurate with the crime."

Song Huai gave him a long, penetrating look: "Then you wait here."

Jiang Wang lightly bowed: "Thank you for the hospitality. I'm not particular about tea, Wushan Longyin will do."

Song Huai simply waved his hand, and someone went to prepare.

"Only now did Dongtian Shi turn his gaze to Chen Suan: 'You have just attained the state of enlightenment. Find a secluded place to meditate for a few years, and focus on consolidating your cultivation. The tedious affairs of the Imperial Inspectorate could use a temporary pause, giving you some peace and quiet—what do you think'"

To challenge the immutable laws of the void in a place like Zhuofudi is undoubtedly a grave crime. But it's not something that would necessarily warrant Chen Suan's execution. Imprisonment for a few years would be a relatively fair outcome.

Chen Suanli said, "I'll follow Master's arrangements."

Song Huai said again, "In the future, don't agree to everything. Think carefully before doing anything. Some people only care about winning and losing in a game of chess, they can't see the life or death of individual pieces. Whether you are lost, damaged, or turned into powder, besides your master, who cares"

He said this without avoiding anyone, not even Jiang Wang. Under the guise of kindness, true anger could be seen.

After the Battle of Xingyueyuan ended, he personally went to Yuheng and angrily scolded Yuhengxingjun for unfairly bolstering Jiang Wang's strength, standing up for Chen Suan.

This celestial master has always been willing to protect his own.

Chen Suan slowly said, "The disciple understands."

“Don't worry.” Song Huai patted his shoulder again. “Your freedom isn't cheap, no one can ask for my disciple Song Huai to sacrifice himself for nothing. When you come back, I will give you what you deserve, not a single thing less.”

Chen bowed his head: "Disciple is incompetent, causing Master to worry!"

Song Huai merely touched the back of his head, as if touching the young boy from years past, without saying another word.

Jiang Wang sat quietly back in the pavilion, not disturbing the master and apprentice pair, lost in his own solitary waiting.

A pot of tea, a sword, and a person.

The Six Friends of Jingtian arrived very quickly.

Everything that happened today was because of them. They ignored everything Jiang Wang did and sat calmly in the Jingtian Mansion. However, Wang Kun was beaten to a pulp with blood streaming from his head, and Chen Suan almost got killed.

When the Dong Tian Shi expresses dissatisfaction, they also need to come out and clean up their own mess.

Six people walked in, one after another, making the courtyard seem crowded.

“Master.”

"Master."

No matter how they felt or what they thought, the Six True Ones' first action upon entering the Heavenly Master's Mansion was to pay their respects to the Eastern Heavenly Master.

Song Huai waved his hand: “This Mr. Jiang is said to have some misunderstandings with you guys. It's better to resolve grievances than to hold onto them. It wouldn't hurt to chat face-to-face—you guys talk it out yourselves.”

Thus, the six people turned around simultaneously and looked at Jiang Wang in the pavilion.

These intertwined glances!

Please note: I've only translated the text content within the tags. I left the HTML tags themselves unchanged as instructed.

Jiang Wang didn't feel pressure, instead more of a sense of familiarity.

In the bitter fate, in the bitter perspective, he was also watched by these six people.

“At last, we meet.” said Jiang Wang.

He seemed to be speaking to the Six Friends of Jingtian, yet also as if to the yellow-faced old monk.

His voice is complex.

Cao Shen, the old Taoist priest, always had a bad temper and was even less patient with Jiang Wang. He pointed his finger at him and scolded: "You brat! We have been tolerating you again and again, how could you be so heartless and not know when to retreat!"

When enemies meet, their eyes flash with anger. However, Jiang Wang remained calm: "Daoist Cang Shen, why are you so disrespectful to the members of Tai Xu Ge"

Ban Xia reached out and stopped the enraged Cao參 from behind, looking at Jiang Wang: "When are you going to stop tearing into Tai Xu Pavilion's reputation"

"Well, I was elected a member of the Taixu Pavilion in the year 3926 of the Dao calendar..." Jiang Wang calculated seriously and replied: "I can still add twenty-nine years."

He kindly reminded, "For these twenty-nine years, you must be especially careful. Absolutely do not let Jingtianfu get involved in any matters of the void — this department is very strict."

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Ban Xia frowned: "You can run rampant through the Jing Tianfu, we'll come to Tianjing City ourselves to see you. We've given you enough leeway, you've caused enough trouble! Such arrogance, who do you represent Qi State Chu State Do you think Jing Guo can endlessly tolerate you, and they can endlessly support you"

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“If I must say who this pavilion represents, it represents the Taixu Iron Rules, the Taixu Dao Lord, and a person named 'Jiang Wang.' " Jiang Wang said calmly: “Jing Guo need not tolerate me, nor do you have to. Understanding respect for the Taixu Alliance is enough. The word 'justice' is too sharp-edged, it will hurt you, would Jing Guo use the word 'tolerance'”

Then Cang參 laughed angrily: "Boy, do you think you're doing something amazing What you've done today, Li Yi could do, and he could do it even better!"

“What do you mean Are you trying to slander Tai Xu Pavilion member Li Yi, saying that he is not impartial, does not abide by the Tai Xu Iron Rules, and is instead a hound for your Jing Guo The oath he swore before the Tai Xu Dao Master, was it a lie Is his integrity not worthy of your respect” Jiang Wang slammed his hand on the table, his anger surging: "Our pavilion will not tolerate such slander! If you cannot produce evidence today, our pavilion will definitely stand up for Li Yi!”

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Of course, Li Yi could do the same thing. This was exactly Qin Zhizhen's reason for voting against in the Tai Xu Agreement.

But for Jiang Wang, mutual oversight among the various offices would force them to uphold fairness, wouldn't it be just what he desired

"Master Jiang!" The woman in plain robes, Ling, spoke lightly. "You wanted to meet all six of us just to bicker If that's the case, we're afraid we can't oblige."

Among the Six Truths, she possesses the strongest ocular jutsu and is most adept at seizing opportunities—she was the first to inflict harm upon Kuka in battle. It is also she who steps forward now, severing Jiang Wang's chance to capitalize on the situation.

Jiang Wang gazed at her silently, staring until she felt a shiver down her spine. She then said, “Let’s go outside and talk. We shouldn’t be making noise here and disturbing the peace of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured towards the sky. In an instant, wind howled and clouds surged. The ancient Tai Xu閣樓 descended from the void, hanging high above the blazing sun, casting an aura of immense power that startled the Six True Ones.

Jiang Wang simply said in a calm voice, “Thank you, East Heaven Master, for helping me capture the evil Chen Suan Zhenren. Please come in!”

Song Huai didn't speak again.

Chen Suan merely strode into the Tai Xu Pavilion, calmly accepting the outcome.

On this day, when he was utterly outmatched and crushed by righteousness, his intuition, a single thread of hope, did indeed grasp the only "truth".

At this moment, ascending to heaven as a captive, the next step is uncertain.

>

While Jiang Wang insisted on settling Chen Suan's matter first, right in front of Jing Tian's six friends.

This was an unspoken agreement between him and the East Celestial Master, which also meant that the card he used to pressure the Jing Kingdom had one less.

But this illustrates even more —

This journey to the Central Empire, which caused such a commotion, is finally coming to an end.

He had dozens of cases in his hands of those who had transgressed the ironclad rules of the Heavenly Realm, none as weighty as Chen Suan's. If he fails today, it will be even harder to succeed tomorrow.

"Jiang Wang bowed to Song Huai: 'Today is about the affairs of Taixu, and I have been impolite. Please forgive me, Heavenly Master.'"

...Without waiting for Song Huai to say anything, he turned and stepped out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He stood on the most bustling street in all of East City, but perhaps heeding Xu San's advice, he had evacuated the crowds beforehand. At this moment, the entire street was deserted.

The six true masters of Jingtian gradually descended onto the street, some under eaves, some at street corners, some on rooftops, and some face-to-face with Jiang Wang... they were subtly surrounding him.

Jiang Wang let out a mocking laugh: "Look at you all, are you planning to gang up on me"

Bai Shi with an elegant gesture brushed his sleeve and smiled, "As a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, why would we harm you Come closer, tell us what you want to say"

Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Zhong Zhirou she—"

“Don’t even mention Zhong Zhirou!” Cang參 impatiently interrupted. “She died very cleanly, leaving absolutely no trace. If you don't believe me, go ahead and investigate! The Jingtian Prefecture is open to you for three months! Is that enough time”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Jiang Wang was astonished and said, "It turns out that a person can commit suicide so cleanly"

“Kid, you’re still young. You’ll have plenty of time to gain wisdom!” Chen Pi Daoist's already ugly face twisted into an even more unpleasant expression: “I’m tired of playing games with you! You’ve been acting like a spoiled child who can’t get candy, whining and demanding to see us. Now that you’re here, what are you going to do What can you possibly do”

“Well, what can I do about it” Jiang Wang looked up as if lost in thought, but then let out a chuckle: “But now I have to ask—have you ever thought about what *you* are going to do”

The young and beautiful licorice looked serious: “You might as well speak plainly, what are we going to do”

"Six Heavens are true, please listen to my analysis." Jiang Wang said seriously: "Because of Zhong Zhirou's matter, you have offended me. I am young and vengeful. This breath hasn't come out, it has always been a knot. For you, I am more or less a trouble The youngest immortal in history, who still has a long life, and possesses infinite possibilities... Being remembered by such a person, can you rest assured From your point of view, I even feel sorry for you."

“You analyze it that way, and it is indeed a bit troublesome.” Banxia was the one standing opposite Jiang Wang. At this moment, he looked into Jiang Wang's eyes: “So young man, what advice do you have”

"Just so, I'm empathetic, just so...I'm very impulsive right now." Jiang Wang described his impulsiveness in an extremely cold tone: "There's an opportunity right now, given to you. It can allow you to solve your troubles ahead of time and retire peacefully afterwards — we are so close now, and the weather is so nice. Why don't we each draw our swords and end this feud with a single death"

"You can't make such jokes!" Baiji shook his head and smiled with a gracious air. "Though you are narrow-minded and harbor grudges, you are a human hero and a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion. We elders wouldn't bear to kill you."

Jiang Wang said in a low voice, "We sign a life and death pact. Life and death are without complaint, no one can interfere."

“This is too sudden!” Ban Xia said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “Didn't we only have a little disagreement Why do we suddenly need to sign a death pact”

Jiang Wang looked at him and smiled faintly, "As everyone says, young people are easily impulsive."

"Cao Cang, don't speak!" Ban Xia raised a palm and stopped Cao Cang's impulsive speech. Instead, she looked at Jiang Wang calmly: "But we are getting old, I especially calm down. At my age, what would I do fighting you young people to the death"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“It wasn’t you who fought me.” Jiang Wang said, each word measured: “This death notice, I, alone, signed it against the six of you.”

Sōshin suddenly leaned forward on the roof, eager to try!

“Very confident! Very arrogant! Very interesting!” Banxia said three “very’s” in a row, then smiled and said, “But this poor monk refuses. Go away! The whole world will forgive the impulsiveness of young people, and we will forgive you today too.”

There was a sense of sadistic pleasure in his smile. They all knew why Jiang Wang had come, but they deliberately wouldn't let him have his way.

>

"Shh—" Jiang Wang stood in the middle of the long street, raising a finger to his lips, silencing all sounds here, making everything hushed.

“Don't speak too confidently, Summer is upon us truly! Forgiving isn't such an easy thing!”

"It's quiet now, just right. There's something I've been keeping to myself for a long time, something that's been haunting me, driving me crazy, and I feel like I need to share it with you all—would you be willing to listen"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Who had ever seen Jiang Wang smile like this, so strange

Nearly insane, bordering on madness, yet extremely restrained, even his voice was soft and gentle.

Han Xia looked at him.

All six of the Heavenly Guardians stared at him with cold, unyielding gazes.

Jiang Wang slowly said, "Haven't you guys been asking about that and investigating it all this time"

"Yes!"

"As for the question you've all been speculating about, I'll answer you now—yes. As you suspected! But it's going to be even more thorough than you imagined!"

Banshu could no longer maintain his composure, Bai Shu's hand had already rested on the hilt of his sword.

While Jiang Wang was still smiling like that.

Want to know the process

He tapped his temple with his index finger: "Kill me, cut open my skull and see for yourself."

This chapter has 6,000 words, with 2,000 words added by the chief supporter "dEnchanter".

(The End) Xiangqian gritted his teeth and crawled up from the ground. He patted his butt and immediately sprang back to life, running nimbly in front of Wu Yan. His eyes sparkled as he looked at her deeply and...
