Chapter 2399: Under the Daylight

Random recommendation:

Jiang Wang killed many people and demons, including Zheng Fei and Li Shou.Jiang Wang is the human race's first heavenly pride.Jiang Wang is world-famous...These were not the points of Yan Chunhui’s memory.He only remembered two things.Jiang Wang completely surpassed Xiang Fengqi.Jiang Wang gathered several True Monarchs, wanting to kill him.Then he remembered why he had come to Cloud Country.

Inside the spacious and elegant inn room, the white-haired old man just lifted his eyelids slightly, and instantly the whole room was filled with wandering electricity, and the empty room became bright!A period of time that was fleeting yet named an "era" by many was awakened on a winter day in the new calendar year 3929.

The old man finally remembered!

The piercing cold intent made the old yellow dog’s limbs stiff. It bit onto that black shrine, huddled in the corner, its long ears drooping, only watching Yan Zi vigilantly out of its peripheral vision.It didn't understand why Yan Zi was so hostile towards it and always wanted to kill it—it had forgotten many past events.But there was no point in investigating these perverts.Many times... there was no reason.Just a casual matter.None of the living creatures in No Return Valley should have lived, regardless of the reason they initially walked in.The old yellow dog only told itself to be careful.Even now that it was a dog, even if it only remained a dog, it had to know how to protect itself well.

Yan Zi released Yan Chunhui's hand, no longer supporting him, staying far away, as if avoiding snakes and scorpions—although she herself was more poisonous than snakes and scorpions.She was always generous in showing her disgust towards Yan Chunhui, wishing he would die immediately, and the more miserably the better. But compared to those times when he was occasionally sober, the forgetful, foolish, and somewhat deaf Yan Chunhui was more acceptable.Pain was like a monster with sharp, fine teeth, constantly gnawing at her body and mind. In those occasionally calm moments, she could often still stop, still willing to call him "old big" once. She also played the role of a person-demon very well, obeying instructions and doing some inexplicable things.But the sober Yan Chunhui, even just standing there motionless, was constantly reminding her—Reminding her what kind of thing she was, what kind of rotten life this was.She unexpectedly couldn't face it.

The "awakened" Yan Chunhui didn't miss that support, and of course, he never needed it. He just slightly lowered his eyes, slightly restraining their sharpness: "Jiang Wang has indeed arrived in Cloud Country. And in a grand manner, with great momentum. Those who don't know might think he's here to show off to Ye Xiao Hua."

"Coming so fast is just guarding against you!" The old yellow dog in the corner this time played the role of a 'strategist': "He's afraid you'll make a move against his dear sister, and there also seems to be a woman he likes here."

Yan Zi was suddenly awakened from that endless pain, vaguely recalling Jiang Wang's appearance when he first chased and killed her, pursuing her for a thousand li without stopping. At that time, Jiang Wang could still be called young, but his eyes were already indescribable at that time.That kind of determination to kill and not let go made her wake up in the confused midnight every time, her inner clothes soaked with sweat.Clearly she was not afraid of death, clearly Yan Chunhui wouldn't let her die no matter what, clearly she was always seeking death—but what was she afraid of?

"He? Likes?" Yan Zi's tone was absurd.Someone like Jiang Wang, who devoted his heart to cultivation, practicing every moment. Coming all the way from a small country in the countryside, killing his way to the extraordinary peak, walking to this point without looking back... did he know what 'liking' was?

"According to reliable news." The old yellow dog in the corner emphasized the words 'reliable': "At least he is most special to the young pavilion master of Ling Xiao Pavilion. Different from his attitude towards all other women."

"I think in his eyes there is no distinction between men and women." Yan Zi's tone was complex: "Only weaknesses and vital points."

The old yellow dog leaned on the black shrine extremely carefully: "Even a reclusive heart-seeking swordsman has moments when his spring heart sprouts, moments of softness."

"You are indeed a delicate dog." Yan Zi's voice showed no praise or blame: "Only for that kind of cultivation fanatic, any heart flutter, any softness, should all be considered outer demons, to be chopped off with one sword."

"But he has already reached the peak now," the old yellow dog said.

Yan Chunhui had been silent for a while, probably not in the mood to speak, and even less concerned about Jiang Wang's emotional entanglements. He stood in front of the window, his gaze seeming to pierce through the sea of clouds. And it was precisely the light of the dusk sky falling, dyeing the clouds.

"Old head!" Yan Zi asked: "Did you specially come to Cloud Country to find an opportunity to kill his most important person? Or take his most important person to threaten him and force him to commit suicide?"

"If I cannot kill him, if it's not to humiliate him before killing him, then killing the people around him is completely meaningless." Yan Chunhui said coldly: "No matter what situation he faces, a person like Jiang Wang will not commit suicide, he knows hope is only under his sword—I came here just because I knew he would come here."

"Jiang Wang appearing so grandly now, is he secretly ambushing other True Monarchs as well? His connections are always very wide, and investing in him yields rich returns." Compared to the half-foolish old head and the occasionally death-seeking madwoman, the old yellow dog still believed in its own wisdom more. It thought seriously: "Honored one, this is very likely a trap!"

"Is it possible he's bluffing?" Yan Zi murmured: "If Jiang Wang wanted to ambush the old head, then he shouldn't have come to Cloud Country so grandly, but should have hidden secretly instead. Making a big show like this clearly wants to scare us away."

"You all don't understand the posture of the peak. Jiang Wang just ascended to this realm, it is precisely the time when all mountains seem small. This is just a declaration." Yan Chunhui said: "He doesn't hope to have a war with me in Cloud Country, he doesn't mind exposing the importance of Cloud Country to him in the present to the whole world, but he is also prepared to face that result—face any result."

The aged peak expert sighed inexplicably: "Everyone who has just reached the limit of the world thinks they are omnipotent."

The old yellow dog shrunk in the corner, its spine bent, and it asked carefully: "You have been waiting for him, how do you plan to proceed?"Its dog paw rested on the black shrine, as if it were a gloomy cave mouth.The incense burner inside the shrine was still there, the burning incense unextinguished, the god statue nowhere to be seen.The flickering sparks on the burning incense seemed to catch the sky light, making the shadow of the shrine in this dimness like a door, opening and closing suddenly.Some existence within the door also seemed to be waiting for an answer.And Yan Chunhui said: "Chat with him."

This white-haired old man, a peak expert who achieved Dao through ancient flying swords, at this moment did not show the ferocity of a self-forgetful person-demon. He looked at the sea of clouds outside the window: "I am a reasonable person. I think he is too."

Within the red clouds of dusk, a wisp of sword intent wandered, not obvious within the rosy light. But in the eyes of a swordsman like Jiang Wang, it was as nimble as a dragon.And he did not speak.He, Ye Qingyu, Jiang Anan, Song Qingzhi, Fu Jingru, and Stupid Gray formed a small group of five people and one dog, and at this moment they were gathered together roasting meat.Two lotus leaf chickens were still buried in the mud stove.That wisp of sword qi initiated an invitation for dialogue, and Jiang Wang was thinking, at this moment, if he summoned all the members of Taixu Pavilion, could they find the sword intent and determine the sword master, and instantly kill Yan Chunhui on the spot.The answer was no.If only the other members of Taixu Pavilion had worked a little harder and derived one more Dao. Jiang Wang would have simply flipped the table now and cut off the possibility of communication—What words could be spoken with such an evil demon who acted arbitrarily!However, no.Truly summoning all the members of Taixu Pavilion together would probably fulfill Yan Chunhui's wish to chop them up like melons and vegetables.The whole pavilion was full of heavenly pride, but alas, the flying sword was too sharp.He regretted that Dou Zhao had not derived his Dao, and the champion had not reached the peak.I alone was a step ahead, very lonely!Write a letter to urge them a bit, but forget about summoning them.

Jiang Wang's first trip to Cloud Country was just to guard against accidents. Alarming the person-demon, he necessarily had to guard against the person-demon's revenge.Of course, he knew now that Yan Chunhui was in Cloud Country at this moment, and this was also a posture of dialogue. Looking back at the past events, perhaps this was also the only attempt at communication by the self-forgetful person-demon.Before today, who would have thought Yan Chunhui was capable of communicating?

"Qingzhi, your level of roasting fish may not be very good," Jiang Wang said casually.Song Qingzhi, who used to have a head full of pigtails and would roll up her sleeves wanting to beat Jiang Wang, the troublemaking demon king, was now very gentle. Compared to Jiang Anan who was snatching meat from Fu Jingru's bowl next to her, she was much more ladylike.Water race grow slowly, her current height was a section shorter than Jiang Anan's, but sitting there, she looked more like a sister.She said embarrassedly: "Big Brother Jiang, you're joking. I haven't roasted fish from this water before... because I am also from the water."Generally, those in the water are on the chopping board.Things sympathize with their own kind.When she was born, she was a water race princess, noble and extraordinary, enjoying the favor of all. Later, the water monarch Song Hengjiang died, the power of the Qingjiang water race changed hands, and she, along with her elder brother, were driven out of the water mansion where they had lived since childhood. Her temperament changed greatly, becoming gradually sensitive and fragile in the ups and downs of life.

"The human race and the water race are as close as one family, just living in different places, like some people live in luxurious houses, and some live in high buildings." Jiang Wang said warmly: "You are one family with us, but you may not be one family with the fish."Saying that, he kicked Stupid Gray a foot: "Stupid dog, who told you to fish so many fish."Stupid Gray rolled on the ground, exposing its soft belly, so that True Monarch Jiang's foot felt better.Song Qingzhi chuckled.

Jiang Wang thought again and again, and finally flicked a finger—Above the clouds, a startling rainbow appeared.Above the endless sea of clouds, in the diffused rosy light.Two wisps of sword intent finally met.

Rumbling!Heaven collapsed and earth cracked, all surging deep within the sea of clouds, vaguely gathering the sky light at one point, not captured by vision.This was a piece of void land, neither light nor time, nor universe.The past of one life, all dim shadows. The ideals of half a life, all dust and smoke.This was the Tribulation Void Empty Realm.Jiang Wang stood there quietly, also becoming the center, thus there were up and down, four directions, thus time also seemed to begin to flow.Yan Chunhui manifested from a wisp of faint sword light, wearing light clothes and cloth shoes, his hair loose on his shoulders.This was only considered their first meeting in the true sense, because the previous Jiang Wang did not have the qualification to stand like this, did not have the qualification to stand firm!He looked at Jiang Wang calmly, his eyes without hostility, just with a kind of scrutiny—a kind of strange scrutiny.

"You know I'm not so easily killed, right?" Yan Chunhui asked."I know," Jiang Wang said.

"There were indeed some intersections between us. But those things have passed for a very long time... probably a very long time, right!" Yan Chunhui asked: "Did I hold a lot of resentment against you? Did I relentlessly pursue you?""You didn't," Jiang Wang said: "You probably forgot about me."

"If I had intended to kill you, could you have lived to this day?" Yan Chunhui asked."Probably very difficult," Jiang Wang said.

"Then you can tell me now?" Yan Chunhui lifted his eyelids: "Why did you come to my door so intensely, vowing to kill me?"

Jiang Wang was always very calm, and he was the same at this moment: "Firstly, I want to say, you not killing me before was not a favor. You casually killed me in Broken Soul Gorge and Star Moon Plain, you just didn't succeed. Previously, I had the title of Qi, I was the overlord of the Yellow River head in Qi Country, if you killed me, the whole country of Qi would kill you, and it would be very difficult for you to survive. Later, I was listed in Taixu Pavilion, if you killed me, the world would kill you, and you would undoubtedly die. You either forgot, or couldn't afford the price of killing me, only this alone."

"Secondly?" Yan Chunhui asked.Jiang Wang said: "You asked some very important questions, so after these questions, you should know that I want to kill you not for myself."

Yan Chunhui rarely grinned and laughed: "Then for what? The common people of the world, the common folk?"

"This sentence is too grand, and this burden is too heavy. I cannot bear it." Jiang Wang was unmoved: "Actually, someone also asked me the same question. I also asked myself why I wanted to kill you. I thought for about a quarter of an hour, and the final answer was—I still remember."

Yan Chunhui frowned: "Remember?"

"I still remember, you boiling and cooking people. I still remember, Zheng Fei and Li Shou competing to kill people and taking pleasure in it. I still remember, the fortune teller divining, using others' lives to divine. I remember those things, I remember the pity in my heart." Jiang Wang said calmly and seriously: "Yan Chunhui, this is the reason I must kill you. To say the common people of the world is too grand, it is essentially my anger and intolerance."

"Anger, intolerance," Yan Chunhui said: "A very good reason."

Jiang Wang said: "It's just that my reason is before me, and I have a sword in my hand. I cannot find any reason not to practice."

"I'll give you a reason!" Yan Chunhui said.

Jiang Wang looked at him: "Please speak."

"If you don't come to find me, we will live in harmony. In No Return Valley, there won't be much bloodshed. Those new person-demons, no matter how evil they are, won't kill too many people. If you insist on finding me, from now on I will wander the world, and wherever I pass, there will be blood rain and foul winds!" Yan Chunhui said: "Jiang Wang, tell me, how do you choose?"

This was Yan Chunhui's condition.He made a huge concession. He could completely forget Jiang Wang's behavior of gathering people to kill him in No Return Valley this time, and treat it as if nothing had happened.For person-demons who act arbitrarily, this was almost a kind of weakness.This was Yan Chunhui who drew his sword in the entire Star Moon Plain battlefield, completely unrestrained!His retreat should be respected. His strength should be awed.And between human lives, it seemed they could be measured by numbers. Yan Chunhui's behavior seemed to allow Jiang Wang to bear it—do you choose to sit back and watch the person-demons kill a few people, or choose to force me to kill more people?

Before the peak, not many people cared about Jiang Wang's reasons.After the peak, everyone had to see him, and it seemed the world was asking its heart again.How did Lord Jiang come? Jiang Wang, how do you want to choose?

But Jiang Wang only shook his head: "This choice question is not like this."

"What do you think it's like?" Yan Chunhui asked.Jiang Wang said: "You raise person-demons, you have indulged in evil until now, I will find a way to kill you, you can also find a way to kill me, this is between you and me. This is the first kind of choice. If you dare to wander the world and stir up blood rain and foul winds, I will issue a proclamation to the world, summoning the sects of various countries, the strong ones of the world, to come and kill you together—this is only the second kind of choice."

Perhaps some people would doubt Jiang Wang's summoning power, doubt whether he could truly lead and make the world exterminate person-demons together.But Yan Chunhui obviously would not.The No Birth Teach was a lesson from the past, Zhang Linchuan's empty voice of hate!He often maintained a half-foolish state, but he was very clear that this was an ordered world. Even though it had more bloodshed, cruelty, and injustice, it had reason under the sunlight.That was the core rule inherited from the three generations of human emperors until now, and continued by the human race.It must be maintained by all in the open.And precisely today, Jiang Wang could already raise this flag.

"There are many evil people in the world, even if you, Jiang Wang, ascend to transcendence, can you kill off the evil nature of people, kill off the evil acts of the world?" Yan Chunhui said: "Once I was also like you, with my own foolish thoughts. But person-demons are endless to kill. Demons also exist forever."

Jiang Wang looked at him calmly: "I know the human heart is like a ghost cave, it cannot be cut off. Evil thoughts of demon hearts will never cease. But I want to let the world know that those who act arbitrarily evil cannot walk under the daylight—this is the sword I struck in No Return Valley."

Rumbling!Outside No Return Valley in Chen Country, it happened to encounter a sudden storm, with startling electricity and thunder.A lightning bolt split the sky, illuminating a tall stele outside No Return Valley.It was a stele carved by a sword, with words inscribed on the stele, each word piercing with cold light. The words said—Those who act arbitrarily evil cannot walk under the daylight.The signature was, Jiang Wang.

Rumbling!In Chen Country, thunder snakes flashed across the long sky for ten thousand li.The sea of clouds in Cloud Country was still quiet.Within the Tribulation Void Empty Realm unfolded by a single point of sword light, Yan Chunhui looked into Jiang Wang's eyes.Aged looking at young.A past era gazing at the present.

Yan Chunhui grinned: "You choose to become my enemy."

"It's not that I choose to become your enemy, it's that I have always walked forward, and I happened to encounter you here. This is what my original heart thinks, what my original desire follows, my Dao is just here." Jiang Wang said calmly: "You either go around, or cut off your Dao, or chop me to pieces, there is no fourth choice."

He completely did not compromise, did not give way, did not leave any room, completely did not give Yan Chunhui face!Yan Chunhui's white hair flew for a moment, his eyes jumped out with an indescribable sharpness, an entire past era condensed in his eyes. Terrifying killing power penetrated years and existence, surging sword qi stirred the river of fate, at this moment his killing intent almost wanted to chop open the entire Tribulation Void Empty Realm!!!

Finally, he said: "How to go around?"
