“What opportunity?” Jiang Wang asked.

He had already realized that he had no choice in the face of Wei Xun.

Wei Xun said, “You speak of righteousness, of repaying kindness. Zhu Biqiong has shown you life-saving grace. How will you repay her? Are you willing to… cleanse her sins?”

To enter the Muddle Realm for Zhu Biqiong, and slay the Sea Clan to atone for her sins!

But everyone knew, “Without establishing an Outer Building, one does not venture to the sea.” Without the Star Radiance Sacred Building, it was impossible to maintain direction in the Muddle Realm; even the way back would be lost. This was also the greatest reason for Zhu Biqiong’s guaranteed death on this trip.

Although Jiang Wang was far stronger than Zhu Biqiong, he had not yet erected the Star Radiance Sacred Building. In the Muddle Realm, he would be equally lost and blind.

“Jiang Wang, you mustn’t!” Chong Xuan Sheng shouted.

“Jiang Wang, you’ve already done enough,” Jiang Wuyou couldn’t help but say.

She had invested such vast resources; should Jiang Wang go, he would likely meet the same fate as Liu Shentong. And she would inevitably suffer another devastating loss.

“I don’t want it!” Zhu Biqiong mouthed, straining to speak.

But she couldn’t make a single sound.

Wei Xun ignored everyone’s dissuasion, only quietly watching Jiang Wang, awaiting his decision.

This wait did not last too long.

Jiang Wang’s calm expression showed that he was very aware of the dangers of the Muddle Realm.

But he simply said, “I am willing.”

Wei Xun seemed unwilling to see him so courageous and added, “Inner Palace cultivators face War General-level Sea Clan, but you possess divine abilities and have achieved dazzling feats like killing Elder Hai Zongming. You are likely no worse than Granny Bizhu. So, if you want to atone for Zhu Biqiong’s sins, you must achieve the same conditions as Bizhu. Are you amenable?”

This was not fair. Although Jiang Wang had personally killed Hai Zongming, his strength was by no means greater than Hai Zongming’s. To have him complete the same sin-cleansing mission as Granny Bizhu was to burden him with greater risk.

He had not yet reached the Outer Building stage and was already being thrown into the Muddle Realm; this in itself was the greatest risk!

However, no one could speak for Jiang Wang at this time. In the presence of Wei Xun, even Yang Feng of Yang Valley and Qi Xiao of Jue Ming Island did not carry enough weight.

Chong Xuan Sheng remained silent, in immense pain. He couldn’t understand where the problem lay. Why would Wei Xun, a dignified True Lord, personally descend upon the Edge of Heaven Platform and participate in this Sea Sacrifice Grand Ceremony? Chong Guang Zhenren presiding was already a level above previous years; this was not even a centennial ceremony!

He realized that his schemes had missed something; he must have overlooked something, even if this oversight was not his responsibility. He, Jiang Wuyou, and Jiang Wang combined could not reach that level, could not obtain information of that grade. Miscalculation was inevitable.

But he was in pain, in pain because he understood Jiang Wang’s choice.

And as expected, Jiang Wang said, “This junior is amenable.”

“Oh?” Wei Xun seemed greatly interested. “How can you be amenable? You shouldn’t be.”

Jiang Wang was very calm, because he had really thought it through and was truly amenable.

“You are right, my sword is still too weak to uphold my principles.” He earnestly said, “So before that, I am willing to respect the principles set down by my predecessors. Zhu Biqiong is certainly guilty, and sin-cleansing in the Muddle Realm is a tradition. Thank you for giving Fellow Daoist Zhu and me an opportunity.”

“Saying thank you is too disingenuous,” Wei Xun shook his head. “However, young people like you are rare these days. Courageous and disciplined. Very good!”

Jiang Wang bowed again, saying nothing.

Wei Xun smiled and said to Chong Guang Zhenren, “Since the two share the same crime, and the punishment is concurrent, then send them both into the same area. That way, no one can gossip and say that Fishing Sea Tower is less fair than they are!”

Yang Feng felt as if sitting on pins and needles, quite uneasy. This True Lord was truly as “vindictive” as the rumors said. His earlier mockery of Chong Guang Zhenren was now being used to counter him.

Zi Shu frowned and looked anxiously at Senior Sister Zhao.

Zhao Wuyan only patted her hand, saying nothing.

At this point, who couldn’t see that Granny Bizhu and Jiang Wang had become mortal enemies?

The two of them in the same area were destined for a life-or-death struggle. There was no need to wait for the Sea Clan to make a move.

Wei Xun’s earlier words seemed to show great appreciation for Jiang Wang. But in the very next sentence, he pushed Jiang Wang further into the abyss.

He clearly wanted to see another fight to the death. To let the world see whether the strength of the Fishing Sea Tower’s Executive Elder was truly as inadequate as rumored, able to be easily killed by any prodigy leaping realms.

The last time, against Hai Zongming, although Hai Zongming had taken the initiative, it was in fact Jiang Wang who had used careful planning against carelessness, waiting in ease for the weary, with multiple targeted strategies, and Xiang Qian’s assistance.

But this time, he did not have sufficient understanding of Granny Bizhu’s strength. The difference in strength between the two sides was also huge… In such a situation, he still had to complete the sin-cleansing!

Wei Xun seemed to have no intention of letting Jiang Wang leave the Muddle Realm alive.

Chong Guang Zhenren nodded and replied, “Is it to be sent now, or…”

Wei Xun only looked at Jiang Wang, but simultaneously asked both of them, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Jiang Wang only gripped his longsword tightly and said, “No.”

Granny Bizhu also said, “No.”

In the face of the Tower Lord, she dared not even breathe loudly, let alone say an extra word.

“What about you all?”

Wei Xun didn’t look at anyone, but the meaning had already been conveyed.

With so many forces and so many people present, who would not agree? Who would object?

Naturally, there was no one.

No one dared, and no one could.

Wei Xun nodded and was about to order Chong Guang to proceed.

A portly fellow suddenly strode over.

It was Chong Xuan Sheng.

He strode up to Jiang Wang, said nothing else, only took off his outer robe and personally draped it over Jiang Wang’s shoulders. He said in a deep voice, “There are many storms at sea, take care of yourself.”

The wide robe draped over Jiang Wang’s body, shrinking greatly in an instant, until it completely adhered to his body.

It looked like an ordinary martial garment, but it was Chong Xuan Sheng’s Seven Profound Treasure Armor, which had once saved his life from Wang Yi Wu’s fist.

He could not object to a True Lord powerhouse, nor could he oppose it. But he would still use his own way to give his friend the greatest support.

For example, at this moment, being the first to stand up and see Jiang Wang off.

Jiang Wang tightened his grip on the robe and calmly said, “I will.”

Between him and Chong Xuan Sheng, there was really no need for more words.

In many cases, Chong Xuan Sheng did not agree with his decisions, but in the end, he would support him.

Wei Xun looked at this portly fellow, appearing quite interested. “Are you the Son of Futu?”

Chong Xuan Sheng had never been willing to mention his father.

But it seemed that everyone couldn’t avoid that name.

He couldn’t deny that the blood of that person did flow in his body.

He turned around and bowed to the Fishing Sea Tower Lord, saying only, “Chong Xuan Sheng greets the Tower Lord.”

After the bow, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Wang: “For healing.”

Without waiting for Jiang Wang to say anything, the portly figure had already walked back.

Jiang Wang didn’t even ask what kind of medicine it was, pulled out the stopper, and poured it directly into his mouth, eating it like roasted beans, several at a time. The elixirs prepared by Chong Xuan Sheng wouldn’t be lacking in effect, and he was about to restore himself to the best condition before heading to the Muddle Realm. Only then could he strive for that minuscule chance.

Yan Fu was the second to walk over, holding a squirrel box and placing it directly in Jiang Wang’s hand: “Wait for you to come back for a drink.”

“You still have to pay the bill,” Jiang Wang laughed.

He didn’t look at what was in the box, but he assumed the value would not be low. He didn’t refuse either. After the events on the Edge of Heaven Platform, their friendship had reached this point.

“He has a stubborn nature,” Li Fengyao sitting in the spectator seats whispered. She took off the jade thumb ring she wore on her right hand and handed it to Li Longchuan sitting next to her, “I won’t go over there, you take it to him.”

Li Longchuan took the jade thumb ring, got up and walked into the arena.

It just happened to be behind Yan Fu, he put Li Fengyao’s jade thumb ring on Jiang Wang’s hand, and secretly slipped a bead into his hand – the Mirage King Bead snatched from the hands of Self-Illumination Grandmaster.

“I think this thing will be useful in the Muddle Realm.” He said softly, then his voice became louder: “My sister lent you the jade thumb ring, you need to keep it safe, it must be returned!”

After a pause, he added: “Speaking of which, you haven’t been to my family’s Ice Phoenix Island as a guest yet. Remember to come when the time comes.”

“I won’t forget,” Jiang Wang said.
