Chapter 1520: "Painstaking" Efforts

"Equality Country?"Suddenly, a lonely, cold female voice inquired.

Jiang Wang raised his eyes to look.He saw not far ahead, a figure standing,Possessing both majesty and beauty.

He knew not when she appeared, nor how.She could only be the City Lord of the City That Does Not Redeem,The Sin Sovereign, Huang Jinmo.

Meeting Jiang Wang's gaze, she explained,"A guest is a guest. Within the City That Does Not Redeem,This Seat must still see to your safety."

What kind of person was Huang Jinmo?When did her actions ever require explanation to others?

With a sidelong glance at the proud Brother Zhu,Jiang Wang had ample reason to suspect...The Sin Sovereign had heard Brother Zhu's words about wandering the ends of the earthAnd had deliberately pursued him out.

Otherwise, with this woman's temperament,How full would she have to be to specially leave the cityTo escort him, Jiang someone or other?

Of course, the Lord Jiang, who had grown much,Did not show this suspicion on his face.

Instead, he let out an "Oh" as if suddenly enlightened,And then sincerely apologized,"Truly, I have caused Sin Sovereign trouble."

Huang Jinmo waved her hand, indicatingA trivial matter, no need for many words.She only asked again, "You just said... Equality Country?"

Jiang Wang thought, this woman truly likes to eavesdrop on others' conversations.He merely said, "I have had a few encounters with the Equality Country,And have some understanding of their way of doing things."

"Do you think Xiao Shu is also someone from the Equality Country?"Huang Jinmo asked very directly.

Jiang Wang thought seriously for a moment,And shook his head, saying, "I think not.They may have similar confusions about this world.But those people from the Equality CountryAlready have a rigorous organizational structure,A unified action program,And a firm belief they call their ideal...They have established their own path,Though in the eyes of many, they have walked onto a wicked path."

"And Xiao Shu's ideal is different from the Equality Country's.Furthermore, Xiao Shu and his groupHave not yet found the path to reach their ideal."

Jiang Wang had heard Chu Yuzhi's impassioned speech,And he had heard Xiao Shu's dying words.He understood Xiao Shu's ideal was Chu Yuzhi's ideal.These two individuals shared the same aspirations,Advancing towards the same goal.

Thus, a genius from a commoner background in the Dan Country,And a genius figure from the Chu Country's military,These two individuals, seemingly unrelated,Would trust each other so implicitly,Giving each other their unreserved support.

"Furthermore," Jiang Wang added,"If Xiao Shu were from the Equality Country,Given the value he has currently shown,The Equality Country should have sent someone to assist him.The Equality Country I knowIs powerful.If it were just a single Zhang Xun,The deterrence would not be sufficient."

Huang Jinmo listened for a few moments,Suddenly glancing at Zhu Weiwu, her voice still cold,But not too cold, "What kind of look is that?"

Zhu Weiwu shrugged,"Hearing you two discussing things I don't understand,For a moment I don't know whether I should be comforted or disappointed."

"That depends on what you think is more important," Huang Jinmo said.

Jiang Wang on the side: ...He had thought they were truly interested in the Equality Country.

"Well then..." Jiang Wang spoke up quite consciously,"Sending someone off for a thousand miles, eventually we must part.How about we stop here?"

Huang Jinmo's and Zhu Weiwu's stepsHalted almost simultaneously.

Jiang Wang looked at Zhu Weiwu,Feeling a bit indignant in his heart, but his face still held a smile:"Didn't Brother Zhu say he would wander the ends of the earth with me?"

Zhu Weiwu looked around at the wilderness,And said lightly, "Yes, I have already wandered."

After thinking for a moment, he at least added a sentence:"Junior Brother, travel safely."

Leaving the city for a short trip, he had already wandered the ends of the earth.His ends of the earth were truly close.

The distance between the City That Does Not Redeem and the Dan CountryFor a powerful cultivator in the Divine Manifestation realm flying at full speed,Was not a difficult and distant journey to reach.

But at this moment, Zhang Xun, in his rapid flight,Felt... it was truly too far!

He couldn't help but think,What kind of genius was Xiao ShuTo be able to escape such a great distanceUnder that intensity of pursuit, with his cultivation in the Inner Mansion realm,And flee to the City That Does Not Redeem?

And how foolish he himself was.

Perhaps no one would believeThe inexpressible grief in his heart at this momentWas all because of Xiao Shu's death!

And how could he let anyone know?

Everyone believed Xiao Shu's failureWas due to his own arrogance.It was because the forty days he setWere truly insignificant compared to the Divine Manifestation realm.It was because his accumulation was too insufficient,It was because he pushed himself too hard...

But among those present, only Zhang Xun himself understoodThe most fundamental reasonWas actually that Six Sense Pill...

The pill Xiao Shu took in the final step of breaking through to Divine ManifestationWas fundamentally not a genuine Six Sense Pill.

The Dan Country no longer had the ability to refine genuine Six Sense Pills!

This was what made the high-level officials of the Dan Country feel uneasy and fearful,What made Zhang Xun feel terror.

They absolutely could not let this matter be exposed.

Under the oppression of the powerful Qin,Before the ravaged River Valley Plain,What did the Dan Country rely on to stubbornly persist,To barely maintain its prestige?Was it not their alchemy technique, which they relied on as the foundation of their nation,Unparalleled in the world?

Once this last layer of covering shame was ripped off,The Dan Country, to the Qin Country,Would be a completely defenseless piece of fat!

So why did they painstakingly conceal it?

So why did they not give Xiao Shu the Heavenly Origin Great Pill,Not give Xiao Shu the Six Sense Pill?

Because the Dan Country fundamentally no longer had them!

The so-called Primordial Pill Guild,Since long ago,Has only been an empty shell with a false reputation.

The so-called 张氏無能世家子,Zhang Xun's younger brother, Zhang Jing,Was actually just a pitiable facade.

Using his arrogance and tyranny, his inability and self-satisfaction,To conceal the greatest secret of this nation.

Even Zhang Jing himselfBelieved that he had indeed swallowed the Heavenly Origin Great Pill back then,It was just that his talent was limited and his luck was bad,Unable to fully unleash the effects of the pill.

This was a drama that had spanned too many years.

As the number one noble family in the Dan Country,From the beginning, the Zhang family had given up on Zhang Jing,Deliberately cultivating him into an arrogant and incapable second-generation idler.

Making him tyrannical, making him rude, making him greedy,Making him unaware of himself.

The family's dominance, the elders' obedience,The flattery and fawning of his fox friends and dog buddies, made him very satisfied.He truly believed he was a genius not inferior to his older brother Zhang Xun,Currently just a buried pearl, not yet able to shine brightly.

He truly felt that he was just lazy in his efforts now,And when he truly applied himself, he would surely advance a thousand miles a day,Catching up to his older brother would be a trivial matter.

He was still eagerly waiting for the Six Sense Pill,Waiting for his hope of Divine Manifestation.Yet he knew not that even if he truly waited for it,He would still not have a great breakthrough,And the infamous name of "waste"Would have to be borne by him for a lifetime!
