Chapter 1283: Disappearing Prodigies

"Zhongshan Yanwen?" Cangshen frowned,"What does he come here for?"

Unlike Kujue, who is without office, position, or power, a nominal True Human of the Suspended Temple,Zhongshan Yanwen is the Great General of the Eagle Guard of the Jing Kingdom!

Those who command the Six Guards and Seven Vanguards are the core of the military court and the empire's heart.Even Cangshen, who has been in secluded cultivation for many years and is out of touch with worldly affairs, knows his name.

Fu Dongxu glanced at Kujue.

Kujue showed no self-consciousness of avoidance,Even casting a look of eager curiosity,Almost urging Fu Dongxu to speak faster.

Fu Dongxu pondered, ultimately it was no secret,He spoke without reservation: "Zhongshan Yanwen is currently with Chou Tie, following him around.This time he came to represent the Jing Kingdom and notify us of two matters.First, the Jing Kingdom will only allow us to maintain the blockade for two days at most.Second, he demands free observation of our search operations."

Cangshen noted that Fu Dongxu used the word "notify," not "discuss."

He couldn't help but be enraged: "We have not locked the Jing Kingdom's borders,By what right does he make demands of us!?"

Fu Dongxu intended to say 'times have changed,'But after a moment's thought, he merely offered a bitter smile:"After all, this region is closer to the Jing Kingdom."

"Barbarian impudence!" Cangshen was furious: "Tell him to get lost!"

"If he wishes to observe, let him observe. It's not a major issue, no need to be angry." Fu Dongxu persuaded:"With your help, Elder, two days should be enough for us to turn this region upside down."

To be blunt, times are different now.

The current world is a格局 (six-power structure), and in terms of standing, the Jing Kingdom is also a hegemonic force.

The region currently designated for blockade by the Jing StateIs actually largely within the sphere of influence of the Jing Kingdom.

For the search of the Heavenly Genius Zhao Xuanyang,The Jing State forcibly sealed the border for the search, which can be considered a "just cause."

But frankly speaking, whether this prohibition can take effectDepends also on whether the Jing Kingdom is willing to give face.

Now that the Mu Kingdom and Sheng Kingdom are at war, and the Qi Kingdom is also in friction with the Jing Kingdom,The Jing Kingdom merely requesting to shorten the blockade durationCan actually be considered "giving face."

Zhongshan Yanwen's demand to observeIs also to consolidate the Jing Kingdom's influence in this region.One cannot let it seem that this place is entirely dictated by the Jing State.

This can even be said to be a bottom-line issue for the Jing Kingdom.

Hence, they were notifying, not discussing.

Because there was no room for negotiation.

If the Jing State disagreed, they would face being driven out,Or engaging in a war here.

The reason for Cangshen's uncontrollable rage is that the currently blockaded forbidden areaWas actually previously within the influence of the Jing State...Through the vicissitudes of life, the master changed silently.

The Jing State can still exert influence, but its voice here is not as strong as the Jing Kingdom's.

Old-fashioned figures like Cangshen might still be immersed in the Jing State's might that commanded the world,But Fu Dongxu is well aware that such an era has passed.

The Jing State is of course as strong as ever,But the key point is... the world is no longer without rivals.

Setting aside other matters, the authority over the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons,How it was divided, is that not enough to illustrate the problem?

Seeing him speak thus, although Cangshen was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not persist:"Now is your time to decide. If you think this is good, then so be it.Let's first search through this Feng Hou Secret Forest!"

Turning his head to look at Kujue: "That monk, since you're also looking for your disciple,Don't be lazy either."

"Rest assured, Elder Cang!" Kujue thumped his chest:"I am known for being honest and diligent, and working hard!"

Calling him "Elder Brother" repeatedly, as if completely forgettingThat just moments ago they were almost rolling up their sleeves to fight to the death.

Cangshen looked around, after all, he couldn't hide his worry for his disciple:"With six True Humans thoroughly searching this region,I suppose it's impossible to miss any traces."

"In fact, it's eight True Humans." Fu Dongxu said with a bitter smile:"Qi State's Grand Counselor Wen Yanyu and the Commander of the Winter Silence Army, Shi Mingcheng, have also arrived!"

Cangshen, at this moment, was not surprised, only silent for a moment:"What is destined to come will always come!"

Instead, Kujue began to curse: "Are the Qi people turtles? Why are they so slow in coming!"

Different people have different wills, different countries have different demands.

The clash of wills can very well lead to death.The conflict of demands often leads to war.

A total of eight contemporary True Humans,Clashing together, simultaneously descending upon this area.

Searching for...

The disappeared heavenly genius!

At this time, Jiang Wang did not know how many people were searching for him,Nor did he know where he was.Since their last conversation, Miaoyu had not spoken to him again.

She would only return to the room in the evening each day,Feed him medicine, then sit quietly at the tea table all night, and leave at dawn.

He initially refused to drink the medicine,But after being forced to drink it a few times with his mouth held open,He obediently drank it.

His internal organ injuries were healing quickly,What was truly difficult to handle was the forcibly pierced Five Mansions Sea.

Even with the unusually vast Heaven and Earth Solitary IslandAnd the five inner mansions with divine ability seeds suppressing it together,The turbulence of the Five Mansions Sea could not be stopped.

Jiang Wang felt like a leaking bucket, constantly spilling outwards.Only, the bucket leaked water, while he leaked the power of transcendence.

Miaoyu successively changed several types of medicine,Each bowl of medicine soup was more bitter than the last.At first, he had to drink nine bowls at a time,Now it has been reduced to three bowls,Which seems to have initially solved the "leaking" problem.

This is considered stable injury recovery.Once the Five Mansions Sea recovers to a certain extent—At least to the level where it can support the Illumination of Five Mansions,The advantage of a Heavenly Mansion cultivator can be manifested.

Currently, he can only passively heal.

Throughout the entire process, Miaoyu had no communication with him.

Even to understand the extent of his injury recovery,She would directly probe into his Dao Yuan to observe,Completely disregarding whether he resisted—He did resist a few times, but each time he was ruthlessly suppressed.

Besides his own injuries gradually improving,He knew nothing about the outside world, which inevitably made him anxious.

He didn't know what Chong Xuan Sheng had done in the Qi Kingdom,He didn't know the reaction from the Jing State,He didn't know if Master Kujue had returned to the Suspended Temple,He didn't know if Zhao Xuanyang's body was discarded in the Myriad World Desolate Tomb,Whether his cause of death could still be investigated,He didn't know if anyone could discover the Blood Puppet True Demon...

If his relationship with Song Wanxi were exposed,He would not be able to clear himself even by jumping into the Long River.

It's not possible for Zhuang Chengqian to come back to life to testify for him...Even if he could truly come back to life,If he didn't kill him at the first opportunity, he wouldn't be Zhuang Chengqian anymore.

At the same time, he had many doubts in his heart...

Why Miaoyu put on monastic robes and wore a Bodhi mask, he did not know.

Why Miaoyu could find him, he did not know.

Where Miaoyu took him, he did not know.

He didn't even know what medicine he was drinking every day!

Miaoyu could obviously sense his anxiety,But she just wouldn't say a word.

Occasionally glancing at him, in those charming eyes, there were only two words—

"Beg me."

He stubbornly refused to beg!
