Chapter 2335: Nine Sons Subdue the Sea

Random Recommendation:

Jiang Wang is in Du Kang City's Wine Curve Street, having received a gift from a friend.

It is a box made from iron willow wood, with a dark lock bearing the "Stone Gate Li" mark on its surface. Gently pushing this dark lock, the box surface opens.

Inside, laid on red silk, lies a slender dragon whisker arrow.

Attached to the arrow is a strip of paper with words that say:

"Heard you're trapped in the heavenly way deep sea, difficult to extricate. It just so happens I was idle not long ago and casually comprehended a move, Fixed Sea Style. It emphasizes precisely one 'suppress' character, fix the heart sea, suppress divine intent. I don't know if you'll be able to use it!"

"If you can use it, great. If not, quickly forget it with me."

"This arrow style will definitely be a Stone Gate secret transmission in the future, exclusive to the Destroy City Marquis Mansion, not to be given to outsiders! Unless... hey hey!"

The back of the paper strip also has words.

Written: "Don't indulge yourself, foolishly deluding yourself. I mean, unless you kneel down and offer tea to my grandma, let her recognize you as a sworn grandson. Who told her old lady to dote on you? At that time, even the direct transmission would be willingly given!"

If Zhongxuan Pang wanted to keep a secret, he could absolutely not leak a single hint. Similarly, if he wanted "those who could possibly provide help" to know, he could also naturally make it so that "everyone who should know knows."

Jiang Wang couldn't possibly blame Zhongxuan Ying for anything; it had also been a long time since he had seen his old friend. After finishing the letter, he was lost in laughter for a moment.

Memories of Linzi became vivid in these jumping words, as if leaping off the paper.

At that time's "Linzi Four Young Masters" were also infamous—of course, not without Zhongxuan Dayi and Xie Baoshu's pushing the waves and helping the tide at that time, secretly propagating.

"There are Zhongxuan Ying, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, and Jiang Wang, like chronic diseases in the human body: greed, amorousness, luxury, barbarity. They are also called Linzi's thieves."

The four of them never once committed any substantive acts of bullying men and dominating women, but they rampaged through Linzi and never gave way to anyone. Those so-called "evil young masters" were all "pointed at and bullied" and "seized and beaten" by them.

During Jiang Wang's youth, when he bore the weight of ten thousand jun, he also once wore fresh clothes, rode angry horses, and acted wantonly in the capital. In those dark days, there was that touch of bright color.

Looking back now, he, this outsider, this mud leg, walked with three young masters of first-rate noble families and never felt uncomfortable... He didn't feel anything at the time, but thinking about it now, that young person's emotions at that time were intentionally or unintentionally taken care of.

The young person named "Jiang Wang," his stubborn self-respect, was properly placed in the prosperity of the East Country's capital.

Were those emotions cherished by friends, by lovely people, just to be wiped away by the heavenly way like this?

He had walked for a long time in Chang Country and smelled many kinds of wine fragrance, and he had remained without ripples. But at this moment, after reading this strip of paper, he suddenly very much wanted to drink wine—and with friends.

But not today.

It should be on a clear and fresh day, when his heart is without worries.

The rain in the Ghost Face Fish sea domain always did not stop.

After Ba Xia's majestic figure was summoned, the raindrops appeared even clearer, hitting the armor like shattered jade.

On the giant turtle's back, the young heaven's proud sons of Jing Country and Qi Country conflicted outside the tomb formed by the Fishing Sea Tower city and in front of the stele where the Sink Capital Sword stood.

Killing intent condensed in the rain.

Li Longchuan in his life had never had the experience of being stepped on, but with his whole body's muscles and bones paralyzed, his jade-like face sticking to the giant turtle's shell, he showed no shame or anger.

"Wang Kun."

He calmly lifted his eyes, looking at Wang Kun's eyes, as if he were the one looking down: "Before doing something, people must think clearly whether they can bear the consequences. Before drawing the bow, I already anticipated the worst outcome, and I can accept everything. If you are also like me and truly understand what you are doing—then chop off my head."

Wang Kun could have said—you attacked first, you had killing intent first, Qi Country has no reason to hold me accountable.

Wang Kun also believed that the Central Great Jing Empire could absolutely protect him.

But he was forced by Li Longchuan's eyes, as if an arrow was pointed at his own eyes.

He held the military knife, its edge turning towards Li Longchuan's throat again and again, and being stopped again and again.

Li Longchuan's pride was truly unpleasant, especially his upward gaze and highly raised chin, making people very much want to cut up this face and poke blind this pair of eyes.

Clearly, with knife and weapon pressed against him, yet without the awareness and posture of a prisoner beneath the steps!

What was so remarkable about the Stone Gate Li Clan?

What "Fixed Sea God General," they were just monkeys claiming kingship when the mountain had no tigers. The Maze World war was already over, why were they still arrogant in the Maze World?

Wang Kun semi-squatted down, pressing the knife edge against Li Longchuan's neck, slowly applying force until a bloodline was imprinted: "I understand what I am doing, but do you understand what you are saying?"

"Heh heh heh..." Li Longchuan grinned, fresh blood already staining his teeth. He indeed had no power to resist; he didn't know how many bones in his body were broken, having already lost sensation.

Ba Xia's power was something he, a small God Arrival cultivator, could not handle.

But his laughter was still very brilliant: "I said, if you have the guts, then kill me."

Jing Country's Calm Sea Plan was an action targeted at the sea race, based on the great righteousness of the race, naturally with a correct stance.

Qi Country had no reason to necessarily destroy the Calm Sea Plan—they couldn't say they were stopping Jing Country's layout against the sea race to avoid their maritime hegemony being challenged.

If such a precedent were truly set, all racial battlefields would be in chaos. The existing order of the human race would directly collapse, entering a period of "no justice, no reason" chaos.

But if Li Longchuan died here, the reason for the people of Qi Country would exist.

Even setting aside the country level, merely the madness of the Destroy City Marquis was enough to establish it.

Wang Kun held the knife in his hand, hesitating for a very long time. This knife finally did not chop down.

"I will not kill you."

He slowly withdrew the knife, feeling the power of life and death over a young famous general in this process: "A character like you indeed should not die so ingloriously."

"Tie him up," he finally said.

Warriors of the Dou E army he brought, who were already unable to rely on themselves to rise, locked and dragged Li Longchuan away.

Tap, tap, tap.

Raindrops knocked on the turtle shell, washing the patterns of those islands even clearer.

Standing alone in front of the sword stele, Wang Kun's face sank into dim shadows.

The originally restless giant turtle, he didn't know when, had already closed its eyes.

With the sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the weather was good on Tianya Platform.

"At this gaze, break Tianya" Tianya Platform, tracing its history, is actually only about four thousand years old, yet it has already become the most important landmark in the near-sea archipelago, regarded by many sea people as the "end of civilization."

The Middle Domain's first true person descended here today.

He stood alone suspended outside the steep cliff, hands behind his back, quietly watching the statue of the Fishing Dragon Guest for a very long time.

Correspondingly, the Town Sea Alliance alliance master also stood on Tianya Platform for a very long time.

Currently garrisoning Jue Ming Island and building the sea border defense line on behalf of the Great Qi Empire is still the Xia Corpse Army, one of the Qi Nine Corps. Xia Corpse Commander Qi Wen also gradually completed his adjustment to this world's strong army during this garrison process. This also represents the East Lai Qi Family's return to Qi Country's highest political stage.

However, the current Town Sea Alliance alliance master is not Qi Wen, and of course even less likely to be someone from Fishing Sea Tower or Yang Valley. Instead, it is Court Discussing Doctor Ye Hen Shui.

Only later did people understand that the sacrificial text he wrote for the Fishing Dragon Guest at that time was precisely an examination by Qi Tian Zi—to verify his strategic ideas for the near-sea archipelago, his propositions, and his measures.

In the cognition of many people, Ye Hen Shui in Qi Country was a favored minister, a lucky minister-like existence. Just someone who wrote official texts for the Tian Zi, "only having gorgeous writing, but no literati spirit."

His articles were written extremely well, his characters written extremely well, few people under heaven surpassed him, and there were many imitators, once showing a trend of becoming the leader of the East Domain's literary world.

But it is unknown from which day onwards, the voices criticizing him increased.

Perhaps it was because he wrote articles greatly praising Qi Tian Zi's imprisonment of the deposed crown prince as an "act of an ancient sage emperor"?

Perhaps it was because he wrote the "mud sculpture Buddha theory," becoming the vanguard for Qi Tian Zi to sweep away the influence of Buddhism within the borders?

In any case, he once became a description of "flattery," and "sycophancy."

His "Dragon Palace Garden" writing style and "Chapter Platform Willow" calligraphy were also demoted as having no backbone, their spine pulled out. Literati were ashamed to discuss them, considering them a "lowly face."

But he was sent to the near-sea archipelago, taking on the position of Town Sea Alliance alliance master, formally presiding over Qi Country's overseas affairs—"all matters in the near sea, without improperness. Inside and out, making people sigh in admiration."

The court and country, up and down, mostly praised him.

Just as he said in the letter he wrote to Plain County Governor Xing Yun Dao—"After leaving the capital, my reputation gradually improved, and there was not a single word or speech different from Ye Hen Shui. It can be seen that there are many blind followers in the world; the multitude of arrows is not aimed at the crime, but merely at the eye-catching."

In a situation where the Xia Corpse Army was already garrisoning, Qi Country still transferred Ye Hen Shui over, fully demonstrating the strategic emphasis on the near-sea archipelago. Of course, there was also the problem of Qi Wen, who had just taken on the commander position at that time, not being able to hold the field.

At this moment, this Town Sea Alliance master, wearing an ink wash long gown with bamboo branch hanging shadows, stood beside the huge statue of the Fishing Dragon Guest, letting the sea wind blow through his long hair, and did not make any speech.

It seemed that the series of actions Jing Country had suddenly unfolded in the near-sea archipelago had fundamentally not been detected by him, or he did not regard them at all.

The sacrificial text he personally wrote was precisely engraved on the stone stele, standing at the base of the statue, as "thousand-year words."

The pen strokes were truly beautiful, even without looking at the article content, they were like a scene of prosperous spring.

Lou Yue quietly looked at the statue of the Fishing Dragon Guest for a long time. The ferocious tiger embroidered on the long robe seemed about to go out with the wind. This time, he suddenly said: "Fishing Dragon Guest is a later descendant of the ancient human emperor. Speaking of it, he is of the same lineage as our Great Jing imperial clan and has direct blood relations."

Ye Hen Shui said nothing. But he lifted the corners of his mouth and laughed.

If one were to arrange all the blood descendants of the ancient human emperor and draw them into a tree-shaped diagram, the already deceased Xuan Yuan Shuo would undoubtedly be in the central position, and it would be a straight line, from the You Xiong Clan to him, vertically piercing through history.

That was a clear and undoubtedly pure bloodline inheritance.

While the Great Jing imperial clan, called "Human Emperor Noble Descendants," might... necessarily search for a very long time in the side genealogy, and since they fundamentally shouldn't be counted in, with poor eyesight, they truly might not find them.

Of course, Ji Yu Su, as the first Tian Zi to establish a national system and the person closest to the revered position of "Six Harmonies Tian Zi" from ancient times to the present, was willing to respect the Xuan Yuan surname and trace the bloodline of the ancient human emperor and the Xuan Yuan Clan genealogy. He would not expel such a figure.

So despite the twists and turns, the Jing Country Ji surname imperial clan is still listed among the blood descendants of the You Xiong Clan.

Exactly how much recognition they have can be seen from the relationship between Xuan Yuan Shuo and the Jing Country imperial clan—Xuan Yuan Shuo at first helped Ji Yan Qiu, the Tai Zu of Yang Country, a descendant of the Qing Emperor.

If Xuan Yuan Shuo had not absolutely refused to act under the title of ancient human emperor, Ji Yu Su, who had been waving the banner of being a later descendant of the ancient human emperor every day at the beginning, would have been embarrassed for at least three to five years.

As for the later connections between Fishing Sea Tower and Jing Country, with their myriad ties, that was also later. And from beginning to end, Fishing Sea Tower maintained absolute independence, and they also never saw Wei Xun bringing out a Jing Country imperial decree...

Perhaps Lou Yue also knew the meaning of Ye Hen Shui's smile and turned his gaze uninterestingly to the sacrificial text engraved on the stone: "Alliance Master Ye's articles are truly gorgeous, but used for Xuan Yuan Shuo, this person, they are somewhat insufficient in weight—Qi people probably only need clusters of flowers and brocade."

He looked towards Ye Hen Shui: "Just like this sculpture that only does surface work."

Ye Hen Shui's appearance was not as beautiful as his texts, but he was also extremely temperamented. Facing these impolite words, he still only smiled faintly: "I wonder with what position the family master of Jing Country's Should Heaven First Family, Tai Yuan True Person of Da Luo Mountain, speaks this sentence to the people of Qi Country?"

Lou Yue said with his hands behind his back: "I am indignant for the blood descendants of the ancient human emperor and feel unfair for this hero sect of the Calm Sea."

Ye Hen Shui lifted his sleeves and said very calmly: "Do I need to enumerate for True Person Lou the rise and fall of the great sects in the Middle Domain, and how many of them were due to Jing Country's ruthless hands? Speaking up for others' indignation and unfairness, the world viewing Jing is not just one day. If one were to write a book, it would be difficult to wash away with the sea. Does True Person Lou truly not know? It seems this Middle Domain's first true is also not too true."

"True or not true does not depend on words," Lou Yue lifted his square, broad eyes: "Alliance Master Ye wants to try?"

Ye Hen Shui laughed: "If you want to fight with killing force, you should go seek Fierce Slaughter. If you want to contend for the world's first true, the north has Huang Fu, and Qi Country also produced a Jiang Wang. Ye someone is one who plays with a pen; we can contend with words and articles. If you want to fight roughly with martial arts, this humble one can only invite Duke Hou to move."

Lou Yue said proudly: "Although Cao Jie was the first to prove the Dao, do you think he can block me?"

Ye Hen Shui waved his hand: "Life is not about pushing Pai Jiu and sitting here comparing sizes one by one. Currently, it seems the sea waves are giant, but Ye someone can barely fix them. If Your Honor is not being courteous, Duke Hou alone is enough!"

"Alliance Master Ye, ah, Alliance Master Ye, you are a meticulous person! All matters in the sea border are indeed difficult without you," Lou Yue slightly shook his head: "It's just a pity that you have been in this position for so long and have never looked at the chair itself, not seeing the foundation. What material is this chair exactly, and for what reason does it stand!"

Ye Hen Shui laughed: "True Person Lou, what position are you talking about, and what foundation are you referring to?"

Lou Yue looked at him: "Do you know why the Town Sea Alliance is named 'Town Sea'?"

"To calm the sea border?" Ye Hen Shui asked back with interest.

"No," Lou Yue said: "It was proposed by our country's Prime Minister Lu Qiu—Nine Sons Town Sea."

As his words fell, the large hand that was behind his back suddenly flipped out, pushing out a mixed cave—

From that mixed cave, terrifying giant beasts leaped out one by one.

Some were like tigers baring their teeth, others like oxen with horns... their roars rose and fell, shaking heaven and sea.

The Central Great Jing Empire rules the world, and its vassal states are not just one family.

In recent years, Jing Country has not only been raising turtles in You Country but has already raised the bloodlines of the Nine Sons of the Middle Ancient Dragon Emperor!

Prison Ox, Ya Zi, Chao Feng, Pu Lao, Suanni, Baxia, Biyi, Fuxi, Chiwen, all among them!

"This sea is not the near sea, I say it is..." Lou Yue added: "The Canghai!"
