After forcing back the sea clan grand army, Jiang Wang, along with the human forces of the domain he was in, remained on alert. He informed the intelligence network in the Huang Tai domain before leaving with Yu Guangyuan.

The human race and the sea clan have been locked in battle in the *Mí Jiè* for many years. The displacement of the *Mí Jiè* is not a recent phenomenon, and both sides have made extensive preparations for various contingencies.

Although it is often said among those who frequent the *Mí Jiè* battlefield, “When the true accident comes, all preparations are not enough.”

However, with the information obtained, the human camp in the corresponding Huang Tai domain would also free up resources. *Guǐ Yǒu*, *Yǐ Chǒu*, *Rén Zǐ*…

Jiang Wang passed through domain after domain without stopping for a moment.

Yu Guangyuan, a talented sea clan prodigy, became the tail feather of the blue rainbow, following Jiang Wang as he ran east and west.

If someone could penetrate the *Mí Jiè*’s environment and track Jiang Wang’s movements, they would find that although he traveled non-stop, advancing like the wind, running as if oblivious to his surroundings, he was actually always shuttling near the human race’s core areas.

Corresponding to the sea clan’s situation, the domains completely occupied by human forces are called “human race camps.”

These places have not yet changed the rules of the world and are still in the form of floating islands garrisoned by armies. Such places possess significant military advantages and can often exert pressure on nearby domains, but they are not impregnable.

During each displacement of the *Mí Jiè*, the birth or disappearance of several human camps is not uncommon.

The most critical areas for the human race in the *Mí Jiè*, similar to the ‘Fútú Pure Land’, have exclusive, honorable names and are domains where the rules of the present world have been completely replicated.

These places are heavily garrisoned, well-equipped, and have powerful individuals presiding over them. They even have large numbers of ordinary people living there, accumulating human spirit, making them almost indistinguishable from the present world.

Examples include the Tian Jing Country and the Cang Wu Realm.

Of course, ordinary people living in these places, if unable to transcend, will never know what the real world is like in their lifetime. But then again, when love and hate entangle, and life and death separate, if it all truly happened, who can say they are not living in the real world?

As the fog period of the *Mí Jiè* displacement gradually ended, the map on the highest-specification finger instrument from Jue Ming Island became clearer. Jiang Wang’s planning for his marching route also became more and more deliberate.

He wandered outside the absolutely safe areas but ensured that he could quickly hide within the human race’s core territories after at most two domains.

This behavior was clearly intended to lure out potential sea clan powerhouses to pursue and kill him.

Initially, when he was only in the Inner Mansion realm, because he killed Yu Wan Gu, the Blood King personally came out, chased that scorching sun flying boat, and almost captured him for eternal torment.

Yu Guangyuan is so important, the Blood King has even less reason to ignore his capture.

Jiang Wang had even deliberately planted ten different methods on Yu Guangyuan’s body, ensuring that with a single thought, Yu Guangyuan could die completely and instantly. Yet, after twenty-five hours of detours, everything remained calm.

With Jiang Wang’s current strength, he could rampage through most domains. Let alone dragging a Yu Guangyuan along, even if he brought a caravan behind him, not many reckless sea clan dared to disturb him. Before coming to the *Mí Jiè*, Chong Xuan Pang had actually made a similar suggestion, asking him to help the De Sheng Merchant Guild transport goods.

All along, Jiang Wang had been accustomed to those powerhouses disregarding face and bullying the weak. A True Person chasing an Inner Mansion cultivator, a True King chasing an Inner Mansion cultivator, a True Person hiding in the Tong Tian Palace…

Suddenly charging alone into ten thousand armies to capture Yu Guangyuan alive, and after doing such a significant deed, not feeling such a strong counterattack from the sea clan, felt truly a bit unaccustomed!

Is Yu Guangyuan just unpopular? Other True Kings are probably busy with other things.

The Blood King didn’t come either. Could it be that because Yu Guangyuan didn’t inherit the Blood King’s innate divine ability, he wasn’t truly valued? Or is it that I, Jiang, am so outstanding at concealment that even True Kings cannot track my movements? Jiang Wang no longer wasted time, quickly planned his route, and headed directly towards the Ding Mao area.

Regardless of what the sea clan powerhouses were doing, he hoped that Yu Guangyuan’s head could bring Commander Qi into a good mood!

In the Huang Tai domain where the Red Tooth King was located, before the colorful boundary river.

Suddenly, space rippled, and a sharp-faced strong man with no eyebrows walked out.

“Dead Xuan pays respects to the King, greetings and peace!”

The Dead Xuan King, guarding in front of the boundary river, immediately saluted.

The newcomer was precisely the Blood King. He faintly glanced at the Dead Xuan King: “In this Huang Tai domain, are you the only one here?”

Because Yu Guangyuan’s reborn body was annihilated precisely in the sea nest guarded by the Red Tooth King, the Red Tooth King simply dared not show his face this time.

The Dead Xuan King felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and carefully said: “Nian Wang *Diànxià* summoned Red Tooth back to report for duty, so he already returned to the vast sea last night.”

The Blood King grinned and laughed: “Nian Wang is indeed a protective one.”

As the corners of his mouth pulled higher and higher, the smile became more and more terrifying: “But who will protect *gū*’s calf?”

The Dead Xuan King had already cursed the ancestors of the Red Tooth King and the You Ying King in his heart. These two bastards, one fled upon being summoned by his superior, and the other fled under the guise of recuperation. He hadn’t even reacted yet when two new Dukes were transferred to guard this Huang Tai domain.

Immediately following was the news of the Blood King’s arrival.

As the only Duke who had experienced the entire process in this domain, he had to come out to greet him. The Blood King’s tyranny was known throughout the world.

He came with a stiff upper lip, even having prepared his last words!

“That human race Jiang Wang is despicable and cunning. With the status of a state marquis, he launched a sneak attack, utterly shameless! If Young Master Yu hadn’t been careless, he absolutely wouldn’t have fallen into his hands!” The Dead Xuan King dared neither to answer the Blood King’s question nor to remain silent, and even less dared to speak ill of Nian Wang. He could only continuously curse Jiang Wang.

“First there was White Elephant, then Red Tooth. First Wan Gu died, then Guang Yuan was lost.” The Blood King’s voice became fainter and fainter: “Is *gū* too easy to talk to, so you all don’t need to be responsible to *gū*?”

“This humble one is terrified!” The Dead Xuan King immediately knelt down: “Upon learning of Young Master Yu’s accident, this humble one urgently mobilized troops, being the first to lead the army in pursuit to the boundary river! But this humble one worried about Young Master Yu being in Jiang Wang’s hands and dared not fight desperately, fearing to harm the prodigy. Thus, I held back the grand army and actually hesitated, losing the opportunity. I was forced back by that Jiang Wang… If the King has a punishment, this humble one should have no complaints!”

The Blood King looked at him silently for a while, watching him until he was drenched in sweat, then waved his hand: “Go.”

“This humble one takes leave!” The Dead Xuan King respectfully performed the *lǐ*, retreating for a long time. He retreated until he could no longer clearly see the Blood King’s figure, then suddenly turned and flew away quickly.

At this moment, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to find that a few drops of blood had seeped out… Truly a near-death experience!

The Blood King silently looked at the boundary river before him, not paying attention to the Dead Xuan King’s departure.

The boundary river was not an obstacle to him. Even walking in the broken rules, he would not be destroyed by the rules, because he was a True King, he was “true,” he was the embodiment of rules.

What made him ponder was the lack of smoothness on this journey.

As the most valuable existence in the bloodline, his care for Yu Guangyuan naturally far surpassed that for others. Upon receiving Yu Guangyuan’s distress message, he had already set out at the first possible moment.

But just after entering the *Huò Shì*, he actually directly lost the ability to sense Yu Guangyuan!

Jiang Wang, known as the “human race’s proud fate,” with a prominent identity in Qi Country, possessing something on him that could wipe away the distress message was not strange.

For him, who had become a True King, it was nothing more than expending more effort. The *Huò Shì*’s rules were chaotic, and accidents were frequent.

Even boundary rivers like this one, representing broken rules, exhibited many differences.

Some boundary rivers, upon creation, had rule fog on both banks. Only after cultivators crossed the river would the rule fog dissipate, allowing both banks to see each other.

Some boundary rivers, no matter what, prevented one bank from seeing the other. One would forever have to cross over to know what the other side was like. Some boundary rivers were like ordinary rivers, with one bank and the other facing each other across the water, without any obstruction.

In the period when the *Huò Shì* displacement had just occurred, even he, the Blood King, needed to wait until the map was rebuilt to know the fastest way to reach his target location.

Of course, with his strength, he could completely rampage through the fog… And he did so, pursuing the location where he sensed Yu Guangyuan transmitting the distress message, constantly approaching.

But the *Huò Shì* was such a chaotic place.

Every boundary river had the possibility of connecting to any area.

He often found himself farther from the target after crossing a boundary river.

No harm done, he could just consider it as him, in his capacity as a True King, accelerating the map construction for the sea clan. But then he turned around and head-on collided with the Tian Jing Country, and faced off with the Legalist True Person Xu Wuming for a while…

Anxious to rescue his bloodline, he wasted a lot of effort to extricate himself. Time was thus shattered in the fog.

It was only when the map became slightly clearer that the news from the Huang Tai domain finally reached him.

When he finally arrived at the Huang Tai domain, not only had Jiang Wang run off dragging Yu Guangyuan, but even the Red Tooth King and the You Ying King had both run…

The Blood King took one step, directly crossing the boundary river. Another step, and he was already deep within this domain. He did not hesitate to show his majesty, using his True King cultivation to penetrate the world and examine the domain, capturing Jiang Wang’s traces.

But at this moment, a golden light flashed before him. A flag pole hundreds of *zhàng* high tore through the distance of time and space, erecting itself before him!

The golden flag surface unfolded, embroidered with the blood-colored characters “Xuán Wēi”.

When this flag appeared, a figure nine *chǐ* tall, with a majestic physique and a dignified appearance, a golden-armored general, irresistibly crashed into the Blood King’s vision.

The chief of the Yang Gu’s three flag generals, the Xuan Wei Flag General, Yang Feng!

“I was just about to launch a sudden attack, personally covering Huang Tai, and unexpectedly I can meet the Blood King!” Yang Feng directly drew his knife, his roaring battle intent seemingly igniting his cloak.

Compared to the ferocious-looking Blood King, his appearance truly conformed to the image of a hero. Even the intention of attacking the Huang Tai domain in his capacity as a True Person, he stated so forthrightly, very upright.

Drawing his knife at first sight was even more a heroic act.

The Blood King indeed had a fierce reputation, and he, Yang Feng, was also a killing star roaming the *Mí Jiè*. Since they had met in such a relatively fair environment, how could they live up to their respective reputations without a battle to the death?

“You want to seek death, this King should fulfill!” The Blood King directly pounced with that ferocious aura, bringing up blood-colored floating shadows, as if sweeping a vast blood flow.

His words were fierce, his movements fierce, but his heart was alert. His luck this time was truly bad…

But how could a strong person’s fortune be obscured by dark clouds?

Wherever he went, he killed wherever, when had he ever cared about mountains and rivers blocking his path? Now that accidents were frequent, he couldn’t help but sigh at his fortune.

For a True King, bad luck is a dangerous omen!

Too lucky!

Jiang Wang very rarely felt his own luck was good.

But the process of rushing to the Ding Mao domain was indeed without wind or waves. He swaggered through the market dragging the sea clan prodigy Yu Guangyuan, and those sea clan powerhouses all acted as if they were blind.

Even more, when he walked onto the first floating island of Ding Mao, only to find that Commander Qi was not there, it was truly too regrettable! He couldn’t receive Commander Qi’s guidance at the first opportunity.

Jiang, someone, felt full of regret in his heart.

However, if Commander Qi was not here, then I am the highest-ranking commander in this domain, bearing the responsibility of leadership and the authority to govern the army. As for where I came from, whether I was late, where I went…

I, the Marquis of Wu An, in my life’s actions, how do I need to explain to people?!

The good news was not just one piece. His personal guard commander, Fang Yuan You, bringing the Flying Cloud Tower ship loaded with three thousand armored soldiers, had arrived at the Ding Mao domain early for defense. Not only did he repel the sea clan’s attack on this domain, but he also greatly defeated the sea clan army in the wilderness two days ago. It could be said that he over-fulfilled the military task for the Marquis of Wu An… Except for being a few days late in time.

It is said that when the Marquis of Wu An arrived at Ding Mao’s first floating island, the cheers on the island were like thunder.

In recent years’ military idols, besides the Champion Marquis, there is the Marquis of Wu An. Compared to the older generation of famous generals, they are younger, more heroic, and also more approachable.

The Marquis of Wu An set up his grand tent, summoned the generals and soldiers, and intended to integrate all the military strategies he had learned, properly displaying them in this Ding Mao domain, and also to give an account to the emperor upon his return, lest he face endless small and large examinations.

“Generals, have all arrived?” The military idol, the noble Lord Jiang, sat in the commander’s seat, his voice gentle, but naturally possessing the dignity of a state marquis. Below, the field was filled with loud voices and surging blood energy.

“This lowly general, Kuang Hui Ping, stationed general of Ding Mao’s first floating island! Respectfully obeys the Marquis’s orders!”

“This lowly general, Tu Liang Cai…”

“This lowly general, You Yu Xin…”

One had to say, just sitting in the commander’s seat calling out to the generals felt really good. As his voice reached, the mountains responded, and the seas roared.

With a wave of the command flag, ten thousand armies advanced!

That Yu Guangyuan was tied under the grand banner of Wu An outside the tent, waiting only to endure the five-day limit before being sacrificed to the flag with blood.

Every time the soldiers saw this sea clan prodigy cowering like a dog, their admiration for their Marquis surged even higher. Morale was soaring, and the military heart was ready!

According to military books, dispatching troops at this time would result in victory in every battle.

The Marquis of Wu An was pondering how to drill military strategies next, when the voices of reporting loyalty below suddenly began to change.

“This lowly general, Luo Cun Yong… that…” A rough-looking general spoke stutteringly, completely without heroism.

Jiang Wang was somewhat puzzled: “Why are you so stuttering?”

The Marquis of Wu An was generous and tolerant, never harsh to his subordinates, and warmly encouraged: “Speak slowly.”

Luo Cun Yong closed his eyes and said loudly and urgently: “This lowly general is a flag soldier from Jue Ming Island!”

The Marquis of Wu An suddenly felt ominous, but still laughed with the demeanor of a Marquis: “So you are a flag leader, no wonder you are so imposing! You are the elite among elites, ah, next time don’t be nervous.”

He still gently gestured a few times, kindly greeting: “Sit, sit. Come, next one—”

Luo Cun Yong acted as if he had truly been encouraged and refused to sit, his voice even higher: “This lowly general, by Commander Qi’s order, comes to punish the Marquis of Wu An for the crime of being late!”

The entire tent was silent. The generals looked at each other.

The Marquis of Wu An’s virtually pressing hand dropped: “May I know what the punishment is?”

Luo Cun Yong said loudly: “Commander Qi orders punishment with military staff! Record one hundred for each day late!”

Outside the tent, the guard Fang Yuan You immediately drew his knife and entered the tent, staring angrily, probably wanting to say something about how the Marquis of Wu An had shed blood for Great Qi, and how they had also desperately over-fulfilled the military task and so on.

But he was forced out by a single look from Jiang Wang.

“Military discipline is thus, I should naturally be punished!”

Jiang Wang directly stood up, strode down from the commander’s seat, right in this military tent, in front of the generals, removed the blue shirt from his body, tore off the underclothes, exposing that extremely sculpted upper body carved out by a knife and a sword.

His body was like cast iron, his momentum like a dragon walking!

With his back facing Luo Cun Yong, he said loudly: “Come! Hit as you should, hit hard and there will be a reward!”

Luo Cun Yong actually took out the military staff, gripping it with both hands, continuously taking deep breaths, encouraging himself again and again.

“Why haven’t you started yet?” Jiang Wang turned back and asked.

Luo Cun Yong nervously swallowed, and stutteringly said: “That… that what… Marquis… please bare your honorable buttocks!”
