Chapter 12: The Way Is Long

to pretend he's a beast" Jiang Wang felt like everything today was a bit absurd."Didn't you ask me how to get onto Mount Yuheng" Bai Lian, wrapped in a huge beast skin—it looked like fox fur or somet...Jiang Wang thought Yin Guan would kill him, after all, he had ruined his plan.

But unexpectedly, Yin Guan was actually preparing to fight Zheng Chao Yang.

He hadn't even expected Yin Guaneng and Zheng Chaoyang to fight to this extent.

How many geniuses there are in this world!

At this time, Jiang Wang had already figured out Yin Guan's purpose.

He must have prepared for today for a long time.

He not only understood the weaknesses of the national guardian beast, but also the Upper City formation.

Moreover, with the meticulous layout of the twenty-seven cities and the Guardian Saint Beast bearing the upper city on its back as it patrolled until this moment, all those in the know were waiting for him to be devoured, waiting for the moment when the Guardian Saint Beast was satisfied... they made a daring move!

Of course, the national protector beast couldn't be controlled by him, but as long as the fierceness of the national protector beast was aroused, it would be enough. The Qian Jue Curse could do a good job.

It would be best if the top-tier fighters of YouGuo and the national guardian beast were both severely wounded, allowing him to showcase his hidden strength for many years, single-handedly destroying Shangcheng and crushing YouGuo's existing political system.

Upon the ruins, rebuild Youguo.

But by a twist of fate, he had inadvertently triggered his own advance. The trump cards held by the high-ranking officials of Yu Guo exceeded even his understanding—after all, he had been confined to the lower city and hadn't had the opportunity to learn much about them.

Not only did Zheng Zhaoyang single-handedly stop the Guardian Divine Beast, but the Guardian Divine Beast itself wasn't overly frenzied. Furthermore, Zhao Cang never made a move from start to finish, always ready to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

Upon realizing that the operation had failed, Yin Guan decisively withdrew.

But why did he appear outside the city again, after fighting Zheng Chaoyang and then leaving

On the surface, it seemed like he was unwilling to fight and wanted to see if he could kill Zheng Chaoyang.

But in Jiang Wang's view, there was only one reason. And that was Su Muqing.

Whether it's the cursed paper figure or Su Muqing's wet nurse's curse, they wouldn't actually harm Su Muqing's life. However, they would sever the connection between Su Muqing and him, leaving her no longer affected by him.

He fought Zheng Zhaoyang to demonstrate his strength.

Even if he leaves, those who still have feelings for Su Muqing should think carefully about whether they can withstand his anger.

After he fought Zheng Chaoyang to a draw, no one in Youguo would dare to test his limits again.

He may still care about Su Muqing, or maybe he doesn't, it all doesn't matter anymore.

What's more important is that he's so young and already able to fight Zheng Zhaoyang to a standstill. Five years from now, ten years from now, twenty years from now, what will it be like

More terrifying than his demonstrated combat strength is his genius.

> What's more terrifying than the present is his future.

This also explains why, even though I am one of the people who disrupted his plan, he didn't kill me.

Because he saved Su Muqing.

This line from Youguo can be described as hasty, yet it left a profoundly deep impression on Jiang Wang.

Especially Yin Guan, who is so talented and powerful, prepared for so long, yet still failed. The Youguo Upper City was almost unscathed.

Japan has been running this way for the past few centuries, and it will continue to do so.

It seems like nothing has changed.

And as for Jiang Wang himself, the path he faced was long and arduous beyond measure!

Jiang Wang pointed his finger forward, and fireworks bloomed.

He had grown accustomed to it, accustomed to releasing fireworks at any time, anywhere, and then letting them fade away.

Along the way, I have repeated it tens of thousands of times.

He wants to master all the details of this technique, so that he has a chance to glimpse even greater scenery.

Flowers bloom and wither, there will be times.

He leaped forward, his sword already beyond the mountain ridge.

Through wind and frost, this journey has not diminished his fighting spirit.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The path is long and arduous, but I will persevere!

The national sacred beast rumbled as it came, and rumbled as it left.

A giant turtle beast with the bloodline of Ba Xia, would always carry its burden forward. It had also grown accustomed to this land of You Guo and the symbiotic relationship it held.

Regularly obtaining nutrient-rich food allows its strength to constantly increase.

Though it seems like the day suddenly got a little grumpy, it doesn't matter much. It's nothing compared to a long life.

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

For most of the people in the twenty-seven cities, today was a day of great upheaval and sudden terror.

A routine administrative performance review unexpectedly caused a stir.

They will continue to discuss many topics concerning Yin Guan. Concerning why he betrayed his country, why he is so powerful, what cult he joined, and what evil deeds he has done...Of course, there will also occasionally be voices that suspect Yin Guan was forced into it out of desperation.

Even people talked about the scholar with a mouth full of slick rhymes and a high forehead, about the young man with white hair. They talked about Zhao Che's dissolute behavior.

But no matter how people discuss.

People will soon forget.

>Upstairs in the city.

Though the giant tortoise moved, the entire upper city remained perfectly still.

The master of the upper city is also the master of Youguo.

But everyone knows that the current ruler of Youguo, lacks both the demeanor of a cultivator and the wisdom of a statesman. He excels at pleasure and revelry, being gifted in this regard alongside Zhao Che, the son of the national teacher, who are considered peerless prodigies.

He won't attend court meetings and won't handle government affairs. At most, he'll come out for a stroll during sacrificial ceremonies to make a show of it.

There's no way around it, he is the only blood relative of the previous king. He was born noble.

Faithful officials could only pin their hopes on the next generation. Thankfully, the current emperor is more fertile than his predecessor, with three sons and seven daughters now. There's no shortage of eligible candidates to be groomed for greatness.

As for those who are unfaithful... they can only hold it in.

After all, regardless of whether it is Grand Master Zhao Cang or General Zheng Chaoyang, the commander-in-chief of the infamous Suppression Army, they are both staunch supporters of the monarchy.

The loyal followers of the previous emperor have also transferred their loyalty to the current ruler.

Because Your Majesty is not concerned with state affairs, it is now the Grand Tutor who holds power.

Above the main hall.

Zhao Cang sat alone at a table.

Besides Youjun, only he and Zheng Chaoyang had seats in this main hall in the entire country of Zhuang.

He stood at the head of all the courtiers.

However, Zheng Chaoyang has never been accustomed to sitting.

At this time, only Zhao Cang and Zheng Chaoyang were in the hall, with no one else.

The tortoise shell was scattered on the desk.

Zhao Cang did not look at the divination signs, but closed his eyes and said: "General Zheng, why did you let Yin Guan go today"

Like most cultivation schools in the world, the methods of practice of the military school originated from Taoism.

The oldest Daoist traditions are, in essence, a synthesis of various methods that humans have explored throughout their pursuit of spiritual cultivation.

It was only over a long period of time that different directions emerged, and as a result, different schools of thought were born.

Almost all practitioners of various schools also follow a series of stages: Yu Mai, Zhou Tian, Tong Tian, Teng Long, Nei Fu, Wai Lou, Shen Lin, Dong Zhen...

Differences in ideological guidelines and emphasis lead to variations in combat methods.

In the martial world, clans focus on Qi and Blood power. They are most adept at utilizing killing intent, claiming to be the deadliest of all schools.

Today's battle between Zheng Zhaoyang and Yin Guan, although it also erupted with extremely powerful combat power, the lethality that surpasses cultivators of the same rank was not fully displayed.

In other words, he didn't give it his all.

Zheng Chaoyang stood like an iron tower, silent for a long time before saying: "I have never seen such a talented cultivator in our You Guo."

“I was thinking,” he said. “A genius like this, if given the chance to grow up… couldn’t he become the pillar of our nation Isn’t he capable of protecting our country”

Zhao Cang raised his eyelids slightly and said lightly, "There are those more talented than him, but they didn't have the chance to grow. They all died in battle."

He added, "Before the appearance of the guardian beasts."

In the great hall, a long silence followed.d, his eyes pausing for a moment at the well."Block his Dao Yuan, and let him jump into a well" Jiang Wang asked in a tone of discussion.Lin Zhengren gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"Jiang Wangben s...
