Carrying the war chariot of the Great Qi Bo Wang Hou, they left Dragon Palace and flew into the air. Soaring through the clouds and driving fog, the sight was majestic and imposing.

Leading the way was the seven-colored flag cloud chariot of the Ling Xiao Ge Shao Ge Zhu, with thousands of auspicious colors and ten thousand rays of splendid light.

Because Li Feng Yao was by his side, Chong Xuan Sheng wasn’t slumped over as usual. He sat slightly upright inside the chariot, casually flipping through a scroll. His gaze swept up the front curtain and glanced at the flag cloud chariot ahead. “That’s Jiang Qing Yang’s Qiao Yan Jun. I’ve always heard of her but never met her. Sister Li, why aren’t you in the same chariot with her? Don’t you plan to observe more?”

Li Feng Yao sat upright, her beautiful eyes like frost. “She is good enough. There’s nothing to observe. I’d rather ask you… Jiang Wang’s actions this time are so sudden. Is he planning to bear everything himself?”

“Not exactly sudden,” Chong Xuan Sheng said. “He’s been waiting for this day for many years and preparing for many years.”

Li Feng Yao’s gaze shifted. “Answer my question.”

Chong Xuan Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, “I won’t let him do that.”

“But you can’t stop him either, can you?”

Chong Xuan Sheng stirred a hand helplessly. “Can’t stop him, so we can only cooperate.”

Li Feng Yao’s gaze fell on the scroll. “What is this?”

As she asked, she naturally took the scroll over. Her cold brows furrowed slightly. “Liu Yi An? Who is this?”

Chong Xuan Sheng said casually, “The second-to-last City Lord of Feng Lin City. After the Feng Lin City incident, he wept at Zhuang Temple. Because he questioned the truth of Feng Lin City, he was executed by Dong A. It was publicly declared that he died of illness.”

Although the scroll was taken away, he was already intimately familiar with this information.

“Can someone prove it?”

“Someone can prove what I said is true, and someone can prove it’s not. It’s just a matter of arguing. After Zhuang Gao Xian is killed, arguing will be relatively easier.”

Li Feng Yao flipped another page and continued reading. “Zhang Xin Liang…”

Chong Xuan Sheng said, “Considered a heroic figure. At the Jiu Xiao Altar meeting on Yu Jing Shan, he died from exhaustion while trying to secure resources for Zhuang Guo Dao Yuan. He was also a good friend of Dong A in his younger years. It’s worth mentioning his father, who died in a disturbance caused by an evil cult not long after Zhang Xin Liang’s death… I suspect it was a setup to plunder inheritance. Because of this matter, Dong A was scolded by Ji Xing Si Da Si Shou and also demoted to Feng Lin City Dao Yuan.”

“Have you found the main culprit?”

“Who the specific person is isn’t important. What’s important is that this matter can make Ji Xing Si rot. Once Ji Xing Si rots, why wouldn’t Zhuang Gao Xian rot?”

Li Feng Yao flipped another page. “Qiao Jing Zong…”

“A person from Qiao Guo, who later defected to Zhuang Guo, his name is among the Xin An Eight Jun. Not long after Jiang Wang returned from the demon race, he died in battle in the demon world. All traces were erased. I found his family in Qiao Guo and collected his family letters. Inside, there is content about how Zhuang Gao Xian held high expectations for him and specifically assigned him to cultivate in the demon world. Heh, it makes people think deeply.”

“Moon Rabbit…”

“Still remember the battle where Zhang Lin Chuan was exterminated? Zhang Lin Chuan’s Wu Sheng Teach, its predecessor was White Bone Dao. The Wu Sheng Teach’s Moon Rabbit is one of the previous White Bone Dao’s Twelve Bone Faces, considered a core member. She is now in my hands. She can testify about the Feng Lin City matter.”

“Gong Bai…”

“The Du Zhuan Yan Yun Shi of Luo Guo and the one responsible for the water race slave trade with Zhuang Guo is this person.”

There were many more names listed. Li Feng Yao didn’t flip through them one by one. She just looked at the thick stack of scrolls in her hand and sighed. “You all have indeed made many preparations.”

“Still not quite enough.” Chong Xuan Sheng lightly shook his head. “Although after Zhuang Gao Xian’s death, Li Jian Qiu joining hands with Du Ye Hu can naturally control the court politics. Although I have collected almost all materials that can provide evidence against Zhuang Gao Xian. Although Han Xu and Mo Jia have all promised to protect him when I take action… There is still no absolute certainty.

“You and I are both clear that strong power is the truth. Right and wrong can be easily confused. Like the lingering thoughts of the dead souls in the Feng Lin City domain forming a single heart, covering all that cannot be covered, it is rare. Ling He Zhi’s execution, no one among billions of people.

“But this is already the best opportunity in recent years. We might not be able to wait for the next event similar to the Tai Xu Alliance. I can’t foresee being able to discover and plan ahead… Zhuang Gao Xian will only become more cautious, and Jiang Wang is also unwilling to wait any longer.”

“Among all your friends, you are the most thorough.” Li Feng Yao rarely praised him. “You have done a lot. As for the overall plan, I currently don’t see any more perfect possibility.”

Chong Xuan Sheng lightly pressed his temples and smiled tiredly. “With such a friend, what can you do? You can’t truly watch him exchange his life for something.”

Li Feng Yao looked at him. “With your strength and wisdom, if you participated in the siege against Zhuang Gao Xian, you could definitely play a key role. The reason you stayed in Dragon Palace is also because the plan isn’t fully certain and you want to be able to plug leaks at any time, right?”

Chong Xuan Sheng only said, “If something goes wrong, Chong Xuan Sheng’s power is not as useful as the identity of Bo Wang Hou.”

Li Feng Yao nodded to show her approval and then said, “Stop the chariot.”

Chong Xuan Sheng looked at her doubtfully, but subconsciously obeyed and stopped the war chariot.

“I won’t ask you what other backups you have. Looking at these materials, I believe you all are very clear about what you are doing. It’s not some temporary fit of anger.”

“Grandmother is very fond of Jiang Qing Yang. Since he left Qi, she often misses him. I originally planned to admonish him about his risky behavior for the old lady, but then I thought better of it. He is also tired.”

Li Feng Yao rose and left the chariot, stepping on the frost and walking away, heading towards the east.

Only leaving behind a god-like back between heaven and earth.

The West Heaven Master said: Zhuang Gao Xian is beyond execution. His descendants are severed. The position of emperor should be occupied by someone with virtue. It is better to have a vacancy than to have someone inadequate.

Temporarily suspend the main lord and restart the Yuan Lao Hui.

With Guo Dao Yuan Ji Jiu Zhang Ren, who hid in the Zhuang Gao Xian讨伐 war, as the president of the Yuan Lao Hui.

With Li Jian Qiu as the prime minister, Du Ye Hu as the great general, Fu Bao Song as the monitor country envoy, and Song Qing Yue as the Qing Jiang Water Lord and governor of Zhuang Guo’s water army.

These five people will collectively discuss and govern the country.

This was the political structure of Zhuang Guo after the war.

Yu Jing Shan still followed the past strategic layout, maximizing the activation of Zhuang Guo’s own power to promote a healthier cycle. After all, they didn’t necessarily want to continuously consume blood to maintain Yu Jing Dao Guan alone, but wanted a Daoist country that could supply Yu Jing Shan.

The Zhuang Emperor had just died, and the domestic situation was bound to be turbulent. Du Ye Hu himself couldn’t stay outside for too long. After seeing Jiang An An and bringing her a large pile of gifts, he hurried back to Zhuang Guo overnight.

Wang Chang Ji had already left after killing Zhuang Gao Xian, continuing his solitary journey like a divine dragon that only shows its head but not its tail.

Lin Xian officially bid farewell to Jiang Wang and returned to Rong Guo. After achieving God Lin, he already had the qualifications to support that small country. Although Rong Guo was now of no help to his cultivation and would only slow down his progress, it was his home.

Bai Yu Xia returned to Xing Yue Yuan after sending gifts to Dragon Palace, diligently managing that messy business.

After seeing Jiang An An and formally meeting Zhao Ru Cheng and others, Chong Xuan Sheng returned to Lin Zi, saying that his loving wife was waiting in the room and he couldn’t bear to neglect her.

Hell No Door didn’t need Jiang someone to worry about. He only needed to consider how to repay the money—through this war, Hell No Door’s reputation greatly increased, and its business was booming.

As for Xiang Qian, Zhu Wei Wo, and Zhao Ru Cheng, their injuries were all quite severe. Jiang Wang was not at ease letting them go elsewhere, so they all stayed in Yun Guo to recuperate, and he personally looked after them.

Yun Guo traded with the world, making it very convenient to buy anything, including medicinal materials. Doctors were also very easy to find, as Ren Xin Guan had branches here.

The only issue was the cost.

Although these several brothers were now one poorer than the last, Jiang Wang himself had money, so he didn’t need to spend Ye Qing Yu’s.

When Chong Xuan Sheng left Yun Guo, he was thin and empty-handed…

“Speaking of, when did you buy this courtyard? I actually didn’t know?” Ye Qing Yu carried a food box in one hand and led Jiang An An in the other, asking with a smile.

Jiang Wang walked on Jiang An An’s other side, carrying large and small bags of various medicinal materials, his face also relaxed with a smile. “I bought it several years ago. I always felt that Bao Xue Peak was very suitable for retirement…”

Jiang An An reached into the food box with one hand to feel around, while wrinkling her cute little eyebrows. “You bought the courtyard several years ago, so why do you still stay in Ling Xiao Secret Land every time you come?”

Two adults and one child, three people walked along the bustling main street of Yun City, their laughter natural. Apart from being better looking than average, they were no different from the passing pedestrians and seemed to have lived in this city for many years.

Jiang Wang glared at her. “I’m doing it all to supervise you, you know? Day after day, you’re so active in playing, but you drag your feet when it comes to homework. Who do you think you’re studying for?”

It was a pity that Jiang An An couldn’t appreciate the majesty of “Shi Zhen Zhi Ren”. She stuck out her tongue. “For you two! I go to study, and you two just go play by yourselves!”

Jiang Wang’s old face flushed slightly, and he used his peripheral vision to look at Ye Qing Yu.

Ye Qing Yu just smiled with her eyes curved.

“That…” Jiang Wang decisively turned his peripheral vision into a direct gaze and said to Ye Qing Yu, “Otherwise, tomorrow…”

“Tomorrow what!?”

A cloud suddenly floated across the sky, and A Chou appeared majestically, his body full of Yuan Li, followed by water vapor. He looked at Ye Qing Yu and opened his big mouth. “Qing Yu, you still have homework tomorrow. Your dad arranged it before he left.”

Ye Qing Yu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “He’s participating in his Tai Xu Alliance, why is he arranging homework for me?”

A Chou descended, squeezing exactly between Jiang Wang and Jiang An An, making him move farther away from Ye Qing Yu. He shook his head and said, “Oh dear, your dad is also doing it for your own good. You are now impacting the Heaven Man Barrier. What a crucial time, you must not be distracted!”

He turned his head to look at Jiang Wang next to him. “Jiang Wang, you also cultivated step by step with difficulty. Wouldn’t you say it’s this way—”

The side was empty!

He suddenly turned his head. Jiang Wang had indeed already turned to the other side, standing side by side with Ye Qing Yu. He smiled unremarkably. “Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany you to cultivate tomorrow! In this aspect, I still have some experience!”

A Chou’s eyes narrowed.

This kind of movement technique surpassed his Tread Cloud Beast by more than just a little.

And what made him even more alert was that the current Jiang Wang was very different from the past… He was also much bolder!

Ye Qing Yu smiled and bowed slightly. “Then I’ll trouble Mister Jiang.”

Jiang Wang was carrying medicinal materials in both hands, but he still put them together in front of him, treating it as a respectful gesture in return. “Then Student Ye will have to listen carefully!”

Jiang An An bit into the Zen Face Crisp she had just felt, tilting her head to look at them. She was utterly confused in her heart. What was so happy about going to class?!

“No, no.” A Chou quickly said, “Learning the Dao has its sequence, and skills have their specialties. Qing Yu’s every homework assignment has a dedicated teacher! What if it gets messed up?”

Jiang Wang smiled kindly. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll only teach her cultivation. In this aspect, throughout Yun Guo, except for Ye Zhen Ren, there should be no one more skilled than I am.”

Ye Qing Yu also praised him endlessly from the side. “Mister Jiang’s lectures are really very good!”

A Chou’s power was isolated, and he could only stubbornly mutter, “Teaching class and fighting are not the same thing. Teaching class requires thinking, and teaching according to the material…”

“Does Uncle Chou recognize White Yu Xia and Lin Xian? They are also people who followed me to pursue and kill Zhuang Gao Xian. After following me for a period of cultivation, they successfully took that crucial step. To talk about the understanding of the God Lin realm, I can confidently say—there is no one in the world who can compare!” Jiang Wang looked at A Chou gently. “Of course, saying it is baseless. Uncle Chou, we can find a time to exchange pointers privately.”

A Chou avoided his gaze and only said, “But Ye Zhen Ren—”

Jiang Wang suddenly stopped, letting the medicinal materials in his hands fall behind him. At the same time, he held his sword in his hand and stood in front of the crowd.

As they spoke, they had already walked to the courtyard Jiang Wang had bought several years ago. The courtyard door was wide open at this moment, and inside the courtyard, with their backs to them, stood a terrifying figure!

This person wore coarse cloth and hemp clothes, was barefoot and barehanded, with thick finger bones and rough skin, like a man used to hard labor.

But just standing there simply, with only his back, he gave people a sense of insurmountable majesty!

To the extent that Zhao Ru Cheng, Zhu Wei Wo, and Xiang Qian, the strong ones in the God Lin Realm, were clearly standing in front of this person and confronting him, yet they were fundamentally invisible.

A Chou’s figure swelled in an instant, appearing majestic and ferocious.

Jiang Wang, however, only said in a deep voice, “Take them away.”

An invisible power pushed Jiang An An and Ye Qing Yu far away. As his voice fell, he moved forward. He pressed his sword and stepped into the courtyard.

He himself, of course, could not leave. His brothers were inside.

“No need to be tense…” That person turned around, revealing a face that seemed hardened by years of labor, tough and firm. “I am Lu Mao Guan.”

Mo Jia Zhen Jun Lu Mao Guan!

The strong Yan Dao expert who, with the West Heaven Master Yu Xi Ding, helped Yong Emperor Han Xu reclaim Lock Dragon Pass!

The Long Xiang Si almost wanted to unsheathe. Jiang Wang pressed his voice down and said, “Great Zong Shi suddenly visits my humble abode, I don’t know what instructions you have?”

Lu Mao Guan used his rough fingers to wipe the wrinkles on his forehead, as if just coming back to his senses. “Oh, I just arrived too.”

He looked at Jiang Wang, then turned his head to look at Zhu Wei Wo. “Then I’ll answer one by one?”

Zhu Wei Wo pointed his long spear at the ground, opened his mouth, revealing his snow-white teeth. “What Mo Jia wants to say, could it be that it will be blocked?”

“Little friend’s resentment I can understand.” Lu Mao Guan sighed. “I have come today on behalf of Mo Jia to apologize to you.”

Xiang Qian and Zhao Ru Cheng were both unclear about the inside story. They just stood there quietly, facing this terrifying visitor together with Zhu Wei Wo.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wang was silent.

Only Zhu Wei Wo himself had the qualification to state that Mo Jia’s apology was late.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Wei Wo laughed. This once sharp genius figure laughed in a self-deprecating way. “This may really… surprise me!”

There will be another chapter at eight o’clock tonight.
