This session’s chief of the Inner Treasury Field at the Yellow River Assembly, Jiang Wang, did secretly collude with the demon race – he is indeed a demon traitor!

Once this news was announced by the Jing Country’s Mirror World Platform, it quickly spread like wildfire throughout the world.

The severity of this matter, coupled with Jiang Wang’s own fame and achievements, swiftly made it an indispensable topic of discussion after meals.

According to the information released by the Mirror World Platform, Jiang Wang had already been selected and cultivated by the demon race during his time in Zhuang Country.

This individual first colluded with the evil cult of the White Bone Path, exterminating his home city domain. The White Bone Path used the life souls of the entire city domain’s populace to refine the White Bone True Pill. Jiang Wang then seized the opportunity to absorb the entire city domain’s destiny into himself, thus gaining unparalleled cultivation talent.

The Zhuang Court thwarted the White Bone Path’s conspiracy, struck back against the White Bone Evil God, and seized the White Bone True Pill, yet overlooked Jiang Wang’s existence.

After the White Bone Evil God retreated back to the Netherworld and the Maple Forest City Domain fell into a Netherworld rift, evil deeds continued to plague Qinghe County.

First came the extermination of the entire Lin family in Wangjiang City, followed by the assassination of a Zhuang Country vice minister in Xin’an City, and then the strange death of the Qingjiang Water Lord, Song Hengjiang.

The Zhuang Court continuously pursued the murderer but failed to apprehend them. They even sought assistance from Jade Capital Mountain, yet due to limited information, their efforts were in vain.

It was not until the Yellow River Assembly that Lin Zhengren, the sole survivor of the Wangjiang City Lin family, accidentally discovered that the villain who had massacred his entire Lin family was none other than Qi Country’s heaven’s pride, Jiang Wang!

Furthermore, Jiang Wang decisively altered the combat order, disregarding opponents from Xia Country and Shen Country, intent on silencing Lin Zhengren on the world stage.

In order to preserve his life and gather evidence, Lin Zhengren was left with no choice but to withdraw from the competition. It was also due to a sudden surge of anger attacking his heart, his hatred like a frenzy, that he suffered the backlash of the blood ghost.

After the Yellow River Assembly concluded, the Zhuang Court reinvestigated, only to discover that Song Hengjiang’s death was exceedingly strange.

This Qingjiang Water Lord’s last known location was actually within an ancient demon cave remaining at the bottom of the Qingjiang River!

Jiang Wang’s demonic nature runs deep. When he was weak, he once harbored a grudge against Lin Zhengren’s younger brother, Lin Zhengli. After casting himself into the demon race, he gained their support, allowing him to rapidly grow.

The first thing this individual did upon gaining strength was to slaughter the entire Lin family!

Because Dong A had thwarted the White Bone Path’s conspiracy during the Maple Forest City Domain extermination event, he had, to some extent, also obstructed Jiang Wang’s further plans.

Thus, after reaching a certain level of strength, Jiang Wang chose to launch a night attack on Xin’an City, brazenly assassinating his teacher.

Song Hengjiang, as the Qingjiang Water Lord and an elder of Zhuang Country, upon discovering this, personally pursued and attempted to kill this evildoer.

Little did he expect this was also a conspiracy. Jiang Wang hid within the ancient demon cave located at the bottom of the Qingjiang River and, with a secret method, opened a passage to the Ten Thousand Realms Wild Tomb, summoning a strong demon race expert to briefly descend and kill Song Hengjiang within the demon cave!

Originally, Jiang Wang had made arrangements in this ancient demon cave early on. While lurking in Maple Forest City, he had been secretly raising demons at the bottom of the Qingjiang River!

All these matters, the Zhuang Court possessed corresponding evidence. Zhuang Country’s heaven’s pride, Lin Zhengren, was moreover a witness who had personally experienced Jiang Wang’s cruel acts.

After the Zhuang Court clarified the truth of this series of events, the Zhuang Lord personally wrote to Jade Capital Mountain, citing the ancient demon extermination alliance treaty, requesting the Dao Gate to exterminate the demon.

Thus, Jing Country’s heaven’s pride, also belonging to the lineage of Jade Capital Mountain, Zhao Xuan Yang, personally took action, declaring that within three days, he would capture Jiang Wang at Jade Capital Mountain and publicly execute him by law.

The world watched with anticipation, all waiting for the aftermath of this matter.

No one doubted Zhao Xuan Yang’s ability to capture Jiang Wang. What people cared about was merely how long it would take Zhao Xuan Yang, and what reaction Qi Country would have to this!

In Zhongshan Country, within a wine tower.

The people engaged in fervent discussion were unaware that the center of the immense storm they spoke of was, at this very moment, among them in the wine tower.

Jiang Wang wore a black robe, his long hair loose, his head slightly lowered, slowly savoring the dishes.

A swift blade hung at his waist.

Longxiangsi was hidden within a storage box.

Many in the world knew his name, but few had seen his face. In this unfamiliar country, there was no need to conceal himself too heavily; it would only arouse suspicion.

A slight adjustment to his attire, different from his usual style, was enough to avoid being easily recognized.

Zhongshan Country is a small country located in the central domain, southwest of Jing Country, never having been listed on the View River Platform.

To put it plainly, it had no qualification to go.

There were many such small countries in the central domain like Zhongshan Country, basically having no sense of existence in the world.

Looking at the world today, Qin Country exclusively occupied the western border and the northwest corner, yet within the western border’s range, there were still scattered points of resistance. Yong Country was a centipede, and moreover had the support of the Mohist School. Zhuang Country was a late bloomer, backed by the Dao Gate.

Among the southern domain, Song Country, Wei Country, Yue Country, and Xia Country were all powerful countries. Although Chu Country was the sole hegemon of the southern domain, it was not the only voice in the south. Especially after the battle of River Valley, countries such as Wei, Song, and Xia inevitably harbored ambitions.

In the eastern domain, the Three Punishments Palace, Suspended Temple, and East King Valley were all powerful forces. Countries like Shen Country had their own reliance, and Qu Country and Zheng Country also had foreign support. Overseas, there was also the Fishing Sea Tower vying for prominence. Though Qi Country was a hegemon, the eastern domain was difficult to unify.

The coexistence of two major hegemonic countries in the northern domain was even more pronounced; neither Jing nor Mu could suppress the other.

And the entire central domain was dominated by Jing Country alone. All the other countries here supported a large number of fierce beast nests, contributing continuous supplies of Opening Pulse Pills.

As long as Jing Country was willing, they could unify the central domain at any time.

But Jing Country did not choose to do so.

Because they were closest to the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, the harvest from the fierce beast nests supported by these small countries in the central domain was indeed higher than that of small countries in other regions. And the central domain itself was rich in resources; these small countries had relatively prosperous days. Of course, compared to Jing Country itself, there was a world of difference.

The people of the central domain looked down upon the world, and the people of Jing Country looked down upon the central domain.

The best way out for the people of these small countries in the central domain was to stimulate their talent and enter the Dao Gate, thereby becoming people of Jing Country.

Within the wine tower, there was an inevitable air of discussing world affairs.

“I heard that this Jiang Wang, having cultivated his Opening Pulse for no more than two years, was still obscure during his time in Zhuang Country. I wondered how his cultivation progressed so quickly. So he was a demon traitor, with the full support of the demon race!” This was someone who had suddenly realized, clearly understanding.

“Heaven’s prides from various countries gathered at the View River Platform, yet they allowed such a demon traitor to become the Yellow River chief. Truly it is a shame for our human race. Qin Zhizhen, Yellow Relic, and the others should all commit suicide to apologize!” This was someone who held the honor and disgrace of the human race close to heart, speaking with great righteousness.

“What do you all say, did Qi Country truly not know about this matter? Or perhaps, in order to seize the chief position, they deliberately permitted it? One must know that for a long time, they have desired a chief but have been unable to obtain one, becoming a laughingstock among hegemonic countries. Plotting to gain a Yellow River chief, playing chess behind the scenes, was simply convenient.” This was someone with grand schemes and a vast vision, commenting on the world’s great situation.

Someone hesitantly said: “Didn’t Qi Country already announce that they do not recognize the Jing Country Mirror World Platform’s statement?”

That one with the world’s great situation in his chest laughed heartily: “Then how could they admit it? Allowing a demon traitor to represent the country and participate in the Yellow River Assembly would be a loss of face far exceeding the era of Emperor Qi Wu! As I see it, they just want to stop Jing Country’s public trial and want to take Jiang Wang back to Qi Country for private handling. At that time, citing reasons like being lost in a secret realm or dying of illness will simply turn the page.”

“Brother’s analysis is truly insightful!” This was someone who followed the crowd, slapping his thigh, agreeing wholeheartedly.

“He easily exterminates entire families, not even sparing his own hometown, villagers, friends, schoolmates, saying he would harm them to death and they were harmed to death. Say, what else could this demon traitor not do?” This was someone who spoke without purpose and was heartbroken.

“Truly a beast!” one person cursed.

“Peh!” another person followed, saying: “Using ‘beast’ to describe him is an insult to beasts!”

Jiang Wang, currently disguised, was a cultivator traveling the world, passing through Zhongshan Country and temporarily resting his feet. He sat silently before the wine table, one chopstick at a time tasting the dishes, quietly listening to people discuss him.

What a complex image that was.

What a…

How strange he was!
