Chapter 2198: Jade Tree Facing the Wind Sword

"My good friend, seeing this letter is like seeing you—

"If you're alone, you can keep reading.

"That doggone Jia Fugui! Where have your studies taken you? Why did you leave and never return, leaving no trace?

"Whether you're dodging debt or disaster, you should at least say something!

"You haven't become a ghost cultivator, have you?

"Then you motherfucker could at least send a dream! Tell me if you're a cow or a horse in this life, can't your Brother Tie Zhu still support you?

"I won't waste any more words with you. See this letter and come back quickly. A good man is no match for a multitude of tongues; this old man can't scold everyone alone.

"This old man is very lonely.

"— Zhao Tie Zhu."

Chen Suan received this letter in the Tai Xu Ge, but he had no way to reply.

He was now a prisoner in the Tai Xu Ge building, with not only his dao body imprisoned but also all functions related to the Tai Xu Huan Jing forbidden. What Yan Dao Tai, Lun Jian Tai, Hong Meng Space – he could only look at them longingly.

On the other hand, he could receive letters because the Tai Xu Ge and the Tai Xu Huan Jing were inherently closely related. But this was no comfort at all – you could still receive and send letters even in the Central Heaven Prison!

The prison cell could be called not bad, but it definitely had no relation to the word "good."

It was just an ordinary quiet room in the Tai Xu Ge building, made extraordinary because of the great power and reinforcement of the Tai Xu Dao Zhu.

Extraordinary in that unless a transcendent hand intervened, no one in the whole world could rescue him.

Even in the Central Heaven Prison, there was hope of escape!

Ah, his grandma.

Chen Suan subconsciously felt an urge to curse, but then he thought, he shouldn't scold Jiang Wang.

He remembered that day, he really almost got scolded and beaten by Zhao Tie Zhu, almost cultivating to nothing. In the hands of a fierce person like Jiang Wang, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to become a ghost cultivator.

Even now, thinking about it, his inner clothes were soaked with sweat.

Jiang Wang really dared to kill a True Person in Heaven Capital City, and he really could kill a True Person in Heaven Capital City!

With the six True Persons of Jing Tian all gone, how could he block that single sword?

Although he was a member of the infamous Hong Meng Three Sword Guests and was particularly cautious and proud of himself, he was always unwilling to exchange real-world identities with Zhao Tie Zhu and Shang Guan. In his heart, he was actually a bit ashamed.

With the spread of the Tai Xu Huan Jing, it was commonplace for Tai Xu Walkers to become close friends. Just like Tai Xu Ge members Jiang Wang and Dong Qi Bo Wang Hou Zhong Xuan Sheng, they only knew each other through the Tai Xu Huan Jing.

Their Hong Meng Three Sword Guests had known each other for a long time, and they were truly kindred spirits who got along very well. Not only could they scold each other, but they could also be matched as friends in terms of cognition and vision in all aspects. This was particularly rare.

And when they first met, they didn't know each other, had no ulterior motives, and were not affected by their real-world identities. They were truly "throwing themselves upon nature."

Zhao Tie Zhu and Shang Guan's real-world identities were also not simple, yet they were willing to treat him honestly and become further friends. In comparison, he just seemed not so "friendly." He always hoped that everything would be within the realm of the "known" and had a fear of the "unknown."

Despite this, their interactions in the Tai Xu Huan Jing had not changed in the slightest. Both Zhao Tie Zhu and Shang Guan respected his wishes and did not force him to exchange identities.

He announced that he was going into seclusion for cultivation half a year ago, planning to break through to Dong Zhen all the way, and then give his two good Tai Xu friends a surprise by exchanging identities and conveniently securing his position as the big brother of the Hong Meng Three Sword Guests.

Zhao Tie Zhu and Shang Guan had gathered in the real world multiple times, eating, drinking, and having a good time, which he also secretly envied.

He did indeed seize the opportunity, straightening his back under heavy pressure and proving Dong Zhen.

He just didn't expect that... he would enter the prison cell right after proving Dong Zhen.

The room was empty, with only a table, a chair, and a bed. There was a door and a window, but neither could be opened.

This was a secret room where loneliness could kill, and no sound could be transmitted in. Except for letters sent by flying cranes within the Tai Xu Huan Jing. And he could only receive letters, not reply.

This kind of bitter punishment, the punishment period was five years – decided by Tai Xu Ge member Ju Kui, with other Ge members listening to the trial, and finally setting such a time limit.

Five years for a contemporary True Person under forty years old! And these were the five years right after becoming a True Person, the five years of fastest growth.

If these five years were spent receiving instruction before Dong Tian Shi, what kind of leap in strength would there be!

Thinking of these things, Chen Suan couldn't help but want to curse again, especially in the Tai Xu Huan Jing, where there was no need for the burden of transmission from Peng Lai Island, and quality-less foul language had almost become a habit. He and Zhao Tie Zhu and Shang Guan often sparred in cursing techniques – but thinking of that look from Jiang Wang that day, he still endured.

The Tai Xu Ge members could possibly eavesdrop on his self-mumbling in the prison room.

That guy surnamed Jiang also seemed like he could do this kind of thing.

Still cultivate...

He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed, pondered for a while on dao principles, recited the fundamental merit law of Peng Lai Island once again, practiced a set of fists, and then came back to sit down – finally, he still endured and endured that sigh, and sighed it out.

Because of the blessed land card position incident, quite a few people already knew that his name in the Tai Xu Huan Jing was Jia Fugui.

At least the Tai Xu Ge members who handled the case were clear about it.

And his regret was that he couldn't let his best Tai Xu friends be the first to know who he was.

The so-called Hong Meng Three Sword Guests.

They were the free and easy sword Shang Guan, the handsome and dashing sword Zhao Tie Zhu, and the upright and graceful sword Jia Fugui.

Each had their own feelings within the Tai Xu Huan Jing.

On Tai Xu Mountain, everyone was also at ease – except for Tian Xia City.

Their nominal big boss, the backer of Tai Xu Mountain, the so-called "Tian Xia Li One," had never come to Tian Xia City. It was even a question if he still remembered this place existed.

The actual main person, Wang Kun, was then dragged to Heaven Capital City like a dead dog by Ge member Jiang, witnessing the entire process of that big disturbance in the Heaven Palace. Later, he was sentenced by Ju Kui to be forbidden from entering the Tai Xu Huan Jing for life.

Even if he wasn't forbidden from entering, he couldn't stay in this Tian Xia City. With his face swept to the ground and his prestige exhausted, he could no longer serve others.

Tian Xia City was personally sealed by Ge member Jiang, and now it had been unsealed.

Now it was under the main charge of Wu Jiang Chen from Shun Tian Fu.

After Ge member Jiang made a big disturbance in Heaven Capital City with the Tai Xu Alliance Treaty, the rectification actions involving all departments of Tai Xu also followed.

The consequences of violating the Tai Xu Iron Rules were so clear—

Heaven Capital City had been disturbed, Chen Suan was in prison, who else in this world couldn't be caught? What place could protect lawbreakers?

After Wu Jiang Chen took charge of Tian Xia City, he put forward the idea of "Tian Xia City first for Tian Xia."

The so-called "punishment begins from Tian Xia City, governance also begins from Tian Xia City."

He used the punishment of Chen Suan, Wang Kun, and a large group of others as a major achievement of Tian Xia City's "strict governance," thereby correcting the overall atmosphere.

He not only did so in propaganda but also acted accordingly. Among all departments, he was the first to begin regulating himself. According to the Tai Xu Iron Rules, he self-inspected item by item, ensuring that all actions in Tian Xia City were within the framework of the Tai Xu Iron Rules.

This kind of thing that touched all interests was originally extremely difficult to push in the intertwined Jing Country. But Jiang Wang's battle in Heaven Capital City cleared the obstacles for him. Who would dare to extend their hand towards Tian Xia City again? He only needed to ask one sentence – "Haven't you seen what happened in East City?"

With Tian Xia City being so ruthless, other departments also gradually followed suit – they couldn't not follow. Jiang Wang's big disturbance in Heaven Capital City received support from all sides. In turn, Tian Xia City could also take the Tai Xu Alliance Treaty, thoroughly investigate other departments, and enforce the law in the capitals of other overlord countries.

Jiang Wang disturbed Heaven Capital City.

Didn't Li One dare to disturb Lin Zi or Xi Yang?

Although Li One had a temperament of not caring about anything, he couldn't resist the task assigned by the Jing Court above, requiring him to do things. With a set of family, country, and great justice pressing down, Da Luo Mountain also couldn't be outside the world.

Once Tian Xia City cleaned up its act, would Jing Country still tolerate your other departments being a mess?

No one would overestimate Jing Country's tolerance, nor would anyone be foolish enough to give Tian Xia City an opportunity to come back. Hence, all departments in the overlord countries acted extremely nimbly, and the rectification was equally thorough.

Of course, it was impossible to say that governance was achieved overnight, and implicit rules could always find breeding ground.

But after several months, the overall situation was also controlled within the rules. Occasionally, someone "offended," and it could be handled in a timely manner.

It could be said to be the "new wind of Tai Xu."

Huang She Li carried her hands behind her back, strolling back and forth on Tai Xu Mountain like a grand master, euphemistically calling it "patrolling."

She wouldn't go to the Five Criminal Tower; old Ju was too serious.

She also wouldn't go to the Knife Pen Pavilion; mountains of books and seas of pens just gave her a headache.

There was no Li One in Tian Xia City, West Extreme Terrace was very boring, and Qin Zhi Zhen looked quite ordinary.

As for the God Abandon Temple... no need to mention.

In short, she had just come from the highest building and went directly to Feng Hua Hall, waving her big hand: "Call your Ge member out, this Ge has something to talk to him about, a big matter!"

The guard of Feng Hua Hall apologized: "It's really not a coincidence, our Ge member is not in the hall. If there is anything important, you can let this humble one pass on the message."

"Where did he go?" Huang She Li asked.

The guard bowed and apologized: "This humble one really doesn't know, and also has no right to ask."

Huang She Li also didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she waved her hand and left.

"Strange, where are the people? Dou Zhao isn't here either, Zhong Xuan Zun isn't here either – are they all going to kill True Persons?"

Since Jiang Wang made a big disturbance in Heaven Capital City, consecutively killing the six True Persons of Jing Tian, and then on the spot declared his bold words of wanting to kill eighteen True Persons of different races. The topic of these young Ge members always revolved around not opening the demon world, Yu Yuan, and the border wilderness. They would say "kill True Persons" at the drop of a hat, which sounded like killing pigs.

"These people are too desperate! They worked so hard before Dong Zhen, and they are still working so hard after Dong Zhen, isn't that not becoming Dong Zhen in vain?"

To achieve Dong Zhen before the age of thirty, how much hardship did she, Huang someone, suffer!

Why don't these people know how to combine work and rest? What are they learning from Jiang Elm Wood!

Huang She Li thought about it and couldn't walk for a while, so she immediately set off on the road home. These people were too shocking; she needed to quickly hug a beauty and drink a few cups to calm herself down.

Seeing Ge member Huang's figure disappear, the Feng Hua Hall guard hurried back into the hall, running to report. "Hall Master, I have already coaxed Ge member Huang away according to your instructions!"

Zhong Xuan Zun was lying on a soft couch, casually draped in a thin shirt, with one hand under his head, crossing his legs, reading a book lazily, borrowing the sunlight streaming in through the window.

Hearing the words, he only gave an "um" sound through his nose.

The guard respectfully retreated, glancing at the title shaking on the book – *Ming Shan Nine Gua*.

He left full of admiration.

He had heard the name of this book, which was a classic work of the Gua Dao. The book itself claimed to be written by a direct disciple of Bu Lian, the ancestor of fate occupation, but it was obviously a false name.

Because there was a sentence in the book: "Can measure ghosts and gods, but cannot measure the country."

The country system only flourished after the new beginning of the Dao Calendar. Your Gua Dao can't be too far ahead of the era, can it?

But the value of this book was beyond doubt, and it was publicly recognized as a classic by many Gua Dao masters, inspiring not a few strong individuals. The book only talked about nine Gua, but the nine Gua evolved into ten thousand.

Even more famous than the value of this book was its obscurity and difficulty to understand.

Gua masters themselves had published dozens of versions of annotations, showing how difficult it was to read. Reading such an obscure book... the Hall Master really cultivates without stopping, he is a model for our generation!

Zhong Xuan Zun was just reading the book seriously when a letter arrived in the Tai Xu Huan Jing.

He casually pinched his right hand holding the book, pinching a paper crane out of the air, which shook into a letter paper. He casually glanced at it; it was a letter from Wang Yi Wu.

The letter read: "Quickly come to Yu Yuan!"

Zhong Xuan Zun's handsome brow slightly furrowed, a little hesitant.

A second letter flew in again, reading – "Both Teacher Brother Ji and I are here!"

He didn't hesitate and sent back two words with one hand – "Not free."

He continued to read the book.

A third letter immediately followed...

This Wang Yi Wu always sent one sentence in several segments. Sooner or later, he would have to propose a charging system for the Tai Xu Fly Crane, charging by the strip.

Zhong Xuan Zun casually thought, and then saw the letter which read – "Qin Li joined forces to build the Great Wall of Yu Yuan, and the Xiu Luo race is going crazy! There are many opportunities to kill evil Xiu Luo here!"

Zhong Xuan Zun sighed and wrote back – "How about you calm down a bit... well, I'll come and see."

He sat up from the soft couch and put away the dao robe collection map book in his hand.

Then he took a good bath and changed his clothes...

Then he entered the Tai Xu Wu Ju.

On the life and death line of the border wilderness, one side was a green sea, and the other was covered by yellow sand.

The border patrol team wandered in front of the boundary line.

The Wu Du Na ridden by the border soldiers were tall and clumsy, silent and tough, chewing and eating thorny balls in big mouthfuls.

Here in the border wilderness, those who could ride Wu Du Na might be more elite than those who rode demon horses. Because they had to cross the life and death line year-round, seeking merit in the endless quicksand.

"...Come back!" someone in the front of the riding team called in a low voice.

The Wu Du Na black camels, famous for their bravery, instinctively retreated several steps, causing the camel bells to jingle. It was really a person coming, the killing aura was too heavy.

Everyone looked into the distance—

At the end of their vision, there was a grey shirt... a blue shirt?

A blue-grey figure, holding a sword in one hand and dragging a person in the other, dragging a long mark on the sandy ground.

"Who is it?" someone in the riding team asked.

"Ge old Jiang and the Divine Envoy adult?" Another person answered uncertainly.

Although Cang Ming had already announced his departure from Mu Country and joined the Tai Xu Ge, many people still couldn't change their way of calling him Divine Envoy.

"It should be them! Only two people would dare to go deep into the forbidden life area, and recently it's only been them." The riding team maintained a certain guard and whispered.

The person slowly approached, walking and dragging in the sandy ground.

Jiang Wang, covered in sand and dust, looked at the group of surrounding soldiers and rascals and said angrily: "What are you standing there for? Lend a hand, your Divine Envoy is too heavy!"

Immediately, a bunch of people jumped down from the black camels and hurried forward to greet the person, lifting up Cang Ming and arranging him on the camel's back.

Jiang Wang casually flicked the sand off his body and walked straight towards the grassland: "Arrange a tent for me, I'll rest for one night. Also, when Cang Ming wakes up, tell him that he doesn't need to come find me tomorrow. Let him rest well and recover from his injuries. Five days later, we'll go to the border wilderness again."

The riding team commander looked at the Divine Envoy adult who had completely collapsed on the camel's back and was unconscious. For a moment, they couldn't help but feel heartache... Since last month when they crossed the life and death line, the Divine Envoy adult hadn't returned. One could imagine what kind of days he had over in the forbidden life area. He was so tired and injured, and he would only rest for five days!

"Right." Jiang Wang threw out two more heads: "These two True Demon heads, take them to your Fu Ma. This is my gift to him. He can give them to whoever he pleases."

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

A new month has begun, please put everyone's guarantee to the bottom.
