Chapter 1992: Handsome Vajra | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025
The dialogue between Jiang Wang and Yan Xiao was not known to any third person.
Theoretically, Yan Xiao informing him about the old dragon still having hidden treasures in the world seams couldn’t have been known to the Sen Hai old dragon.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to suddenly enter the battlefield at the beginning, and with the establishment of the Yu Heng Star Tower, it added to senior Guan Yan’s struggle on Yu Heng Star.
Moreover, up to now, this so-called hidden treasure is very likely the Tian Fo treasure, which is also his own speculation.
The Sen Hai old dragon’s plan clearly lies in the legacy of Wu Han Gong’s Gongfa and doesn’t mention any hidden treasure at all. It should be thinking of using the Tian Fo treasure as a bargaining chip.
This is due to the information asymmetry brought by Yan Xiao.
The old dragon thinks Jiang Wang is completely unaware, but Jiang Wang has actually guessed it for the most part.
So, going to the world seam in the Sen Hai Source Realm to search for the Tian Fo treasure shouldn’t be a matter with too much risk.
But how could Jiang Wang be so confident?
The old dragon, trapped at the base of the Star Tower, may never be a good person. Its cunning and ruthlessness are proven by the countless wrongful deaths in the Sen Hai Source Realm.
Senior Guan Yan’s divine powers are vast. Before becoming a Star Lord, he had already surpassed others, suppressing the Sen Hai old dragon in all aspects of the struggle in the Sen Hai Source Realm.
With senior Guan Yan’s ability, knowing the target in advance and being vigilant, he will absolutely not encounter any more mishaps.
As for what kind of treasure the Tian Fo treasure is…
He doesn’t have any greedy thoughts of fully possessing it. He will always believe in himself over any tool.
Taking a step back, even if the treasure falls into senior Guan Yan’s hands, couldn’t he borrow it?
After writing this letter, he pressed it into the starlight, scattering it into the distant sky. Senior Guan Yan could see it when he had leisure.
Jiang Wang got up and went downstairs.
The sudden incident inside the White Jade Capital tavern was also simple.
As the former Marquis of the Great Qi country, in the process of step by step reaching the peak of his reputation, he inevitably offended some people and harmed some people.
When he was still the Marquis of the Ba country, naturally no one dared to touch his whiskers. After he left Qi and his whereabouts were confirmed, all sorts of strange characters dared to appear before him.
Those with malicious intent came from various backgrounds. Remnants of the Xia country and Yang country all appeared. There was no lack of courage, no lack of vulgar methods, and no lack of probes from some other people.
Of course, they basically couldn’t get past Bai Yu Xia and Lin Xian.
Today, a kitchen helper boldly went to the wine cellar to poison, and was captured on the spot by Bai Yu Xia.
Usually, Bai Yu Xia would handle it himself, but since Jiang Wang was back these days, he asked about it. Jiang Wang also used this to interrupt his conversation with the Sen Hai old dragon – he had ideas about Wu Han Gong’s legacy, but decided to leave this old dragon for a while before talking.
Walking all the way down from the top floor, when he reached the tenth floor, he heard someone in the hall, with a hint of drunkenness, shout: “Is it Sword Immortal Jiang Qing Yang himself?”
The crowd of wine guests in the great hall on the tenth floor turned their heads to look over.
Jiang Wang was slightly stunned, feeling a bit dazed.
The years of struggle in the Qi country are memories he cannot forget in his lifetime.
Titles can be abandoned, seals can be relinquished, crowns can be removed, power, reputation, and fortune can all be let go.
But some traces are very difficult to erase.
For example, although he left the Qi country, many people still habitually call him Jiang Qing Yang, Jiang Wu An, and he doesn’t feel the need to erase that experience.
And the title “Sword Immortal” is truly distant. It was only at the beginning, during the Yellow River peak competition, that someone called him that a few times. Then there was Huang She Li from the Jing country, who always liked to call him “Immortal.”
Actually, after the Guan He Platform, people called him the Yellow River chief more. After defeating the four people and demons with his sword, he was then the first inner mansion in blue history. Later, he became a Marquis.
“I haven’t heard this title for a long time.”
He followed the sound and saw that the person who called out to him was a man with proper features, slightly cold.
Of course, he could be described as handsome, sitting by the window, holding a cup, with his elbow propped on an overturned wine pot.
Although he had drunk quite a bit of wine, his tone was a bit frivolous, his posture slightly casual, and his slightly drunk expression was also very real. But you could feel that this person wouldn’t be drunk at all – especially since he was drinking Immortal Drunk.
“They all say the White Jade Capital tavern is an immortal residence, so you are naturally that immortal.” This person didn’t show any restraint, sipping wine while replying to Jiang Wang’s words.
This person ate and drank the most expensive things in the White Jade Capital.
For important customers, Boss Jiang always wanted to be more enthusiastic. He laughed lightly: “It’s thanks to everyone’s support, willing to come to this humble establishment and enjoy themselves. The most important thing is happiness. What title it is doesn’t matter, any way you call me is fine.”
But at this moment, another voice rang out—
“What title it is doesn’t matter, but it must be called correctly!”
The speaker was sitting in the corner, initially not noticed, until he opened his mouth and removed his hat, revealing that shiny bald head, which suddenly attracted the attention of the great hall on the tenth floor.
In front of him was only a bowl of clean water and a white, fluffy steamed bun.
Behind him, he also carried a roll of bedding.
He was tall, clean, and handsome, and said seriously: “What Sword Immortal Jiang Qing Yang, you should call him Handsome Vajra Jing Shen.”
Jiang Wang’s eyes lit up when he saw him, and hearing the nonsensical ‘Handsome Vajra’ made his face show a bitter smile again.
And this monk only turned his head, looking at the man who drank a lot of fake wine, and said very seriously: “Don’t provoke my junior brother, I will beat you.”
The man sitting by the window put down his wine cup and spread his hands to show he was harmless: “Little Saint Monk, is there some misunderstanding? I am just an ordinary merchant. This time I came to Star Moon Plain to do business… just to say hello to a famous boss.”
Jing Li is an existence known as the “Liuli Fo Zi” within the East Holy Land of the Buddha Gate.
How could someone who made him vigilant and stare seriously be ordinary?
But since he said so, Jiang Wang also listened.
“Speaking of which, I am now also considered a merchant! We merchants emphasize ‘harmony brings wealth’!” He said to this person with a smile: “I have encountered some things recently. This friend is just purely too worried about me and has no malice towards you, please don’t take offense.”
The monk Jing Li was someone he wrote to invite.
Calculating the time, Zhuang country’s envoy Lin Zheng Ren should also be arriving in Xiang country soon.
According to his previous deduction, Zhuang Gao Xian had an extremely difficult plan to unravel – which was to kill Lin Zheng Ren and frame Jiang Wang. Then, under the name of his own country’s envoy being killed, he would avoid the halo of a Human Race hero and openly seek revenge on him.
At that time, inviting a Zhen Ren from the Jing country or Zhuang Gao Xian himself making a move were both feasible choices.
In the end, Ku Jue from the Hanging Temple and Zhao Huai from Sumeru Mountain blocking the door of the Zhuang country only blocked the possibility of Zhuang Gao Xian making a secret move. And they couldn’t openly seal the border of the Zhuang country and put the ring knife on Zhuang Gao Xian’s neck – Yu Jing Mountain would absolutely not sit idly by.
Once Zhuang Gao Xian’s framing succeeded, the whole world would chase and kill Jiang Wang, and no one could say anything.
The most difficult part of this situation was the unknown means Zhuang Gao Xian possessed. But seeing how Mo Jing Yu died and could not be redeemed, and how Sin Jun was captured by the Mo Gate, it was possible to be framed successfully whether Jiang Wang appeared next to Lin Zheng Ren or not.
Then, is this situation unsolvable?
Not at all.
There is no unsolvable situation in the world, as long as it is foreseen, there can be a solution. This is also the reason Chong Xuan Pang wanted to leave Lin Zheng Ren.
This situation has a simplest solution – that is, during Lin Zheng Ren’s mission to Xiang country, Jiang Wang proves throughout that he did not see Lin Zheng Ren and had absolutely no time to kill him.
According to Chong Xuan Pang’s idea, he originally planned to use the name of the Marquis of Da Qi, personally visit Star Moon Plain, live here for ten days or half a month, and personally testify for Jiang Wang. See if Zhuang Gao Xian dares to say that the Marquis of Da Qi is lying!
However, Jiang Wang considered that Chong Xuan Pang’s cultivation was at a critical juncture and chose to write to Jing Li, asking him to come and live in the White Jade Capital tavern for two days.
Firstly, Jing Li’s identity is very convincing.
Secondly, in secular perception, Jing Li is more credible than Chong Xuan Sheng in every way. Almost no one will believe Jing Li is lying, and probably no one will believe Chong Xuan Sheng is honest…
“No problem.” The man sitting by the window showed good upbringing: “I came uninvited, and opened my mouth abruptly. It is right for the little Saint Monk to be vigilant.”
“Opening a tavern is originally welcoming guests from all directions, welcome everyone who comes uninvited!” Jiang Wang originally wanted to say that he would pay for this table’s bill, just to make friends, but considering how expensive this table was, he decided not to make friends first and laughed: “May I ask your honorable name? We are acquainted today!”
The man sitting by the window bowed slightly, full of etiquette: “My name is Xi Ming.”
Jing Li was originally just wandering around Star Moon Plain, secretly protecting his dear junior brother. After receiving the letter, he rolled up his bedding and came to the door. He just felt that the guy sitting by the window was very threatening, so he silently stared at him for his junior brother.
At this moment, he gulped down that bowl of water, picked up the steamed bun, and got up: “Okay, okay, you two are acquainted now.”
He walked quickly towards Jiang Wang: “Junior brother, do you have something to do? Go and do your business first.”
Jiang Wang then cupped his hands to this merchant named Xi Ming: “Then I will take my leave first. Brother Xi, please take your time. White Jade Capital welcomes you every day.”
Xi Ming smiled and raised his wine cup, saying nothing else.
Jiang Wang and Jing Li walked downstairs side by side.
“Why are you still carrying your bedding?” Jiang Wang asked somewhat amused.
Jing Li bit the steamed bun properly, like a bald hamster, and blinked his eyes: “Didn’t you say I could live here for a while?”
Jiang Wang said proudly: “I run such a big tavern, making a lot of money every day, so wealthy, still short of your bedding?”
Jing Li just chuckled and leaned into his ear to transmit a sound: “Master said, those who secretly approach you are all bad people. He told me to beat them casually, and it’s absolutely not wrong. That one named Xi Ming is definitely not a good person. You must be more careful, you are too naive!”
Jiang Wang leisurely walked downstairs: “Don’t worry, I will pay more attention. You also have to be careful, don’t believe everything, your master always deceives you.”
“What are you saying!” Jing Li glared at him: “Master will not deceive us!”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Jiang Wang quickly apologized and begged for mercy: “I misspoke, I said the wrong thing.”
Jing Li wouldn’t really be angry with his junior brother, and smiled happily again: “Junior brother, your tavern is so big! You really have a business mind! Which room am I staying in?”
Jiang Wang said casually: “You’re staying with me.”
Jing Li smiled even brighter: “Good!”
The two walked down to the first floor.
Bai Yu Xia was sitting behind the counter, buried in calculating accounts, ignoring a group of flirtatious big girls and little wives.
Lin Xian was chopping wood in the backyard, his muscles bulging, possessing a kind of solid beauty. Coupled with his young and vigorous face, it had a particularly contrasting charm. Behind him stood a wooden sign, with “Toilet is not here, there are empty seats upstairs, please ask the back kitchen for dishes, the waiter will bring wine and water” written on it.
Some rich and flashy elderly women always walked the wrong way to the backyard. He couldn’t be bothered.
That poisoned kitchen helper was tied up in the wood shed, waiting for Jiang Wang to deal with him.
Jiang Wang was just about to go and look at that pitiful killer, but he didn’t know what day it was today, a visitor just happened to arrive at the door – or rather, this person had been wandering on the street outside for a long time, and seeing Jiang Wang, immediately walked in.
This was a woman with a melon-seed face and exquisite features, wearing a fitted martial suit, like a picked jade lotus, perfectly embodying what is called being tall and graceful.
But she wore double swords at her waist, and her eyebrows were resolute, giving her a bit of beautiful killing intent.
“Wu An… Mr. Jiang!” She greeted him like this.
Jiang Wang turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat doubtful: “…Are you?”
The exquisite-faced woman showed no sign of being hurt, but actively walked closer, her attitude proper, preparing to introduce herself.
Of course, she had a deep impression of Jiang Wang’s appearance, because they had once rushed to the same battlefield, stood on opposite sides, and Jiang Wang’s performance was the most dazzling in the entire battlefield.
Jiang Wang naturally didn’t remember her.
Because she didn’t have the qualifications to fight him.
That war was the Star Moon Plain war.
The heavenly prides of the Qi and Jing countries fought, using Xiang country and Xu country as weapons.
She was the daughter of Xiang country’s great pillar general Lian Jing Zhi, Xiang country’s heavenly pride Lian Yu Chan.
She walked forward, and a clean and handsome monk carrying a roll of bedding blocked her, his expression very vigilant – “Just stand there and say what you have to say.”
Jing Li, as if facing a great enemy, said to Jiang Wang behind him: “Junior brother, master said, be especially vigilant towards women, especially beautiful women, they will ruin your Buddha heart!”
Behind the counter, Bai Yu Xia’s eyes were still on the account book, but the brush recording the accounts had stopped.
Jiang Wang was a little helpless: “I didn’t have a Buddha heart to begin with, Senior Brother Jing Li.”
Lian Yu Chan was very confused, but Xiang country was close to Star Moon Plain, so she had more or less heard of the name Liuli Fo Zi. She then stood still and said to Jiang Wang: “I am Lian Yu Chan, my father is Lian Jing Zhi of Xiang country. We met on the battlefield once, Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Wang said ‘oh’ and said casually: “According to the Star Moon agreement, people from Xiang country are not allowed to set foot on Star Moon Plain, right?”
“So I am no longer a person from Xiang country.” Lian Yu Chan pursed her lips. Perhaps there were a thousand thoughts and ten thousand thoughts in her heart, but finally she just said directly: “I came to White Jade Capital today because I want to seek to become your disciple and sincerely serve you.”
The Zhuang country’s envoy Lin Zheng Ren had already arrived in Xiang country. This was an internal exchange between Dao subordinate countries. And Zhuang country’s ranking among Dao subordinate countries was now higher than Xiang country, and it had the permission of Yu Jing Mountain, so Xiang country could not refuse this exchange.
But before the Zhuang country’s envoy arrived in Xiang country, he first proposed holding a literature conference in Xiang country to discuss the literary meaning of the inscription on the Feng Lin City Living Spirits Stele. And he hinted that he wanted to use this literature conference to highlight Emperor Zhuang’s great achievements in the Feng Lin City disaster and guide and spread the relationship between Jiang Wang and the White Bone Dao…
How could Xiang country dare to handle this knife!?
Today’s Jiang Wang, even if he is just alone, is already a figure that Xiang country needs to be very cautious of. Because he can already completely destroy a country by himself!
Xiang country has no ability to build a great array that covers the entire country to protect it, and it is also very difficult to find a way to make Jiang Wang fall into a siege by a large army.
The only thing in the entire Xiang country that can pose a threat to Jiang Wang is the giant elephant holy spirit “Song Shan” provided at Wan He Temple. This honored holy spirit has power approaching that of a Dong Zhen powerhouse.
But with Song Shan’s clumsiness and sluggishness, can it really stop Jiang Wang’s destruction?
The failure of the Star Moon Plain war still leaves the people of Xiang country wounded and unable to escape the pain.
And in that war, the one who almost dominated the victory and defeat of the two countries’ heavenly prides was precisely this Jiang Wang who ran to Star Moon Plain to open a tavern!
The arrival of Lian Jing Zhi’s daughter, Lian Yu Chan, is undoubtedly a manifestation of Xiang country’s attitude.
They cannot refuse the pressure given by Zhuang country in the Dao subordinate country system, but they absolutely do not want to be enemies with Jiang Wang – and Lian Yu Chan is precisely this sincerity.
This is the daughter of a great pillar general, the first heavenly pride of Xiang country!
