Chapter 2415: Guard the World

Qi Guanying watched with concern: "Mao Zhiben, you are seriously injured."

Mao Zhiben waved his hand: "My matter is not important, go do your matter."

The Five Evils Defense Line was indeed crucial, so Qi Guanying said no more and threw himself into the Ancient Imperial City.

Only, he had originally thought that by moving the Chan Jing Meng, consuming some Yuan Qi, and using some power from the Feng Shen Tai, he could exchange it for an advantage over Jiang Wang and Du Xing Tian Hai. This was a worthwhile deal.

Now, unexpectedly, it didn't work out.

He felt a bit heavy.

Human Race's Jiang Wang had never been known for his foresight and scheming. Today, a group of Heavenly Demons had actually schemed for him?

And what were they scheming about?

"Mao Tianzun." Lu Zhi, who had just proven his Absolute Peak status, walked closer: "About Ao Shuyi's death, we originally had an opportunity to do something, right?"

Mao Zhiben looked at him: "Don't have futile thoughts, be careful of making a mistake for success."

He thought for a moment, finally understood Lu Zhi's character, and added: "I only saw Jiang Wang's plan. The opportunity is not available now, but it will come from what Jiang Wang does. If I had woken up earlier and put on a show here today, there would have been an opportunity - now there isn't."

He sighed softly: "This game of chess is not the same as you think. It's not the same as I thought either."

Speaking of his life, he was never afraid of contending in chess.

Jiang Wang said that in the Tian Hai, only one person could roam. He deeply believed this and had to use all means to drive the other out.

This was a confrontation between him and Jiang Wang, two Tian Hai roamers, with the Tian Hai as the board.

Jiang Wang achieved Dao in one autumn, while he was still in deep sleep, thus losing the first opportunity.

How great an advantage it was to roam the Tian Hai alone while the opponent was still asleep.

If it were that Ming Zhi Bodhisattva of Sumeru Mountain, he would have long been placing pieces everywhere and laying down deadly traps.

After he woke up, he could only see the moves and dismantle them. Although the opening was unfavorable and the process difficult, the joy was boundless.

But Jiang Wang was different.

This person was entirely focused on not wanting to play chess.

Playing chess was a complex art, but Jiang Wang only sought to simplify the game. He wished there were only two pieces on the board, a one-on-one challenge.

He wanted a martial fight, not a literary one.

Mao Zhiben had won countless games in his life, and he had dealt with such games before. The more rough the opponent, the more dense he needed to be. The more the opponent sought a decisive battle, the more circuitous he needed to be. He would hide a needle in silk, and sooner or later, he could stab the opponent until they were full of holes.

But now the board was all cleared, the Tian Hai was already forbidden to roam...

Whether it was Ming Hong, Ming Zhi, or Xing Nian, they were all people who sat down and played chess. Jiang Wang, however, was a person who smashed the chessboard.

No, that's not right. He was the first to kick the opponent off the chess table, but couldn't find a ferry boat all winter. Seeing the opponent about to wake up and hold the pieces, he smashed the chessboard again. He even borrowed the power of the Demon Race! Without paying a price himself.

Mao Zhiben asked himself, his scheme to kill Jiang Wang had already exhausted his efforts. The Tian Xian Sin Fruit was released to kill Jiang Wang like Wang Xiao, even more seriously. But Jiang Wang still endured that autumn and returned with a stronger posture.

He had to admit, Jiang Wang, who had grown to this level, was almost impossible to kill under normal circumstances. Even if he schemed for a hundred years, it would be difficult to succeed. It was impossible without the advantage of heaven and earth. He could only seek opportunity on the Shen Xiao battlefield.

Perhaps Jiang Wang's anger just now was only for seeking comfort.

"What kind of 'Ten Thousand Worlds Flood Flow Ferry Person' is this, it's nothing more than this!" Lu Zhi was seeking new comfort: "Saying that in all heaven and ten thousand worlds, without his nod, one cannot become an Absolute Peak. In the end, it was just an empty threat, he fundamentally didn't dare to truly strike. How can he compare to Mao Tianzun, who went against the flow of the Tian Hai and achieved extraordinary merit."

Mao Zhiben glanced at him: "I obstructed Wang Xiao, it was a sudden matter for him. Jiang Wang obstructed you, you had been prepared for a long time. These are fundamentally not the same thing."

His skill of roaming the Tian Dao ocean had been hidden for a long time, only showing itself in the sudden attack on the martial world. Suppose if he had also spoken beforehand, saying that he must obstruct Wang Xiao. Once he truly made a move, if the Human Race side let him escape even a single hair, he would be considered fierce.

What Mao Zhiben said, Lu Zhi of course also knew.

He became Dao today, without a shred of joy. All the Heavenly Demons who surrounded and hunted Jiang Wang today, including him, this brave challenger, were all objects of Jiang Wang's play.

If it were a famous wise man, it would be fine...

"Mao Tianzun, if you were the one roaming the Tian Hai during this period, if you had Jiang Wang's advantage, I wouldn't dare to imagine what extent you could reach." Lu Zhi learned from others to win, but he couldn't learn the 'position'. For a moment, his emotions were complex: "The Human Race occupies the present world, naturally having great momentum added to their bodies, and the advantage of scheming in all worlds is too great."

The Human Race is based in the present world, casually placing pieces, and all worlds have to respond, truly having innate power. Even in the depths of the Tian Dao sea, they sit at the main current and look at the branch currents, high above.

He ascended to the top today, but the road ahead seemed narrower!

"What is the meaning of saying these things?"

Mao Zhiben was very calm: "Jiang Wang's advantage was not born of heaven, he fought for it with his life. The Human Race's advantage was not born with them, but we threw it away."

"Let's go!"

His sickly thin body was wrapped in an ill-fitting Dao robe, and he just turned back and walked away: "Endure this winter, the seed will sprout again."

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Thousands of peaks of water rose together, like terrifying giant beasts extending large hands one by one.

But no matter whether they went left or right, they couldn't grab anything.

Jiang Wang and Mao Zhiben were the only two submerged roamers in the Tian Dao deep sea today, and also the survivors who escaped the sea disaster.

Their directions were different, and their mindsets were also different.

Mao Zhiben escaped from the Tian Dao deep sea and jumped back into the Tian Prison cage. Jiang Wang escaped from the Tian Dao deep sea and was about to face the present world's situation—

So many important figures on Guan He Tai were waiting for him to fish something back.

If he returned with an empty rod, he would be mocked and would completely lose weight in the matters of the Water Race. Because he had already proven with his actions that he was unable to do anything for the Water Race. Time was given, opportunity was given, but he did not seize it.

This was a gamble. The beginning and the process were only clear to himself. Only the result had to be known to the world, and also inspected by the world.

Just as he was about to jump out of the Tian Dao deep sea, Jiang Wang turned his head in the vast and boundless space-time.

He saw vague black dots surfacing from the depths of the turbulent Tian Hai bottom, where sea tsunami raged – plundering towards the sea surface with terrifying speed!

Jiang Wang lightly lifted his foot, then left this place, no longer looking back.

Staying in the Tian Dao deep sea for a long time would turn into "stones" that the Tian Dao power could not dissolve.

Those existences that would forever sink in the Tian Dao deep sea would gradually surge forth.

That was the true danger.

That was also a way for the Tian Dao deep sea to cleanse itself.

Mao Zhiben had painstakingly avoided these existences during his time roaming the Tian Hai.

Jiang Wang had been aware of this during his hurried trips, but this was indeed the first time he had seen them.

But it didn't matter.

Turning his body in the Tian Hai, he was already on Guan He Tai.

From the terrifying Tian Dao deep sea with shock waves, back to the undercurrent-filled Guan He Tai. Jiang Wang had to admit, it was still more intense here.

In the end, this journey to the Tian Hai was prepared beforehand, step by step. Although it was an adventure, it was only gambling with his own life.

On Guan He Tai, it involved the lives of tens of thousands of Water Race.

He was particularly cautious, not daring to take a wrong step.

Now he returned!

One step into the sea, turning back to Guan He. Everything was as before.

Jiang Wang's sword was in its sheath. He first looked at Fu Yun Qin - there was still Qi in him.

"Coming and going, though it was just a moment. Zhenjun Jiang said he would go fishing, but he went to the Tian Hai. For what matter, I wonder?" Ying Jiang Hong pressed his sword there, quietly looking at Jiang Wang.

Shocking Lu Zhi, retreating Qi Guanying, contending with and killing Mao Zhiben. The process seemed complex, but it actually happened very quickly, like a fleeting glance.

The Tian Dao sea tsunami had already risen, the Tian Hai was turbulent and restless. Powerful individuals like him were naturally aware of it.

He knew that Jiang Wang entering the sea must have a scheme. He just didn't understand why, on such a critical occasion, Jiang Wang left everyone hanging here and specially made this trip. Couldn't he go tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?

But while speaking sharply, his hand on the sword was tightly drawn.

He had been waiting for this quarter of an hour.

Of course, it wasn't because he liked Jiang Wang so much, but because Jiang Wang's later speech was something Jing Country wanted to say but couldn't, conforming to the desired development of Jing Country.

Long River Dragon Lord Ao Shuyi's rebellion was a crack buried since the era of Lie Shan Ren Huang, accumulating heavy difficulties to return over tens of thousands of years of history. Ice freezes three feet, not in a day's cold. How can it be said that he was forced to rebel by the Jing Tian Zi today?

Some people's hearts could truly be executed.

How many years had the current Jing Tian Zi been in power? Compared to Ao Shuyi's long life, it was not even a ripple!

Jiang Wang's handling was very good. He wanted to see if he could maintain this level of handling from beginning to end.

In contrast, Xu Wang always wanted to push the meeting process forward, unwilling to wait for Jiang Wang to return.

This Da Qin Zhen Hou praised Jiang Wang as a flower, saying this year's young hero, how he brought prestige to the Human Race, this time he went out into the heavens to battle fiercely, it was truly a labor... But hidden within his words was the meaning that Jiang Wang should go and be busy with his own affairs, and there was no need to make so many people wait for him alone.

Ying Jiang Hong, who had drawn his sword against Jiang Wang, then thoroughly belittled Jiang Wang and finally put down ruthless words—

"Children are arrogant and don't know the big picture. They won't learn until they hit a wall hard. Let's wait for him today and see what tricks he has!"

Thus, they had waited until now.

Jiang Wang returned from the Tian Hai with his sword, not bringing back any ripples from the Tian Hai, still very calm. First, he bowed deeply to Ying Jiang Hong: "With the central honor, the dignity of the Tian Shi, and unable to count previous grudges, quietly waiting for Jiang Wang this moment. This Jiang knows the importance of the upper country!"

Then he bowed to the crowd below the stage: "This Jiang's willful leap into the Tian Hai has troubled various positions to wait for a long time!"

Everyone below the stage said there was no harm.

With Jiang Wang's contributions and position today, truly speaking, waiting was acceptable.

The Human Race's first Tian Jiao, who has a say in the first place, first catches a fish back for everyone to boil soup, and then discusses important matters, what can't wait?

Is it not worth waiting for an Absolute Peak who has challenged the world with his sword?

Jiang Wang turned around and bowed to Ying Jiang Hong again: "The first time the Tian Shi spoke to me, it was when the famous Demon Race's Lu Zhi was impacting the Absolute Peak. The opportunity we had been waiting for all winter was at that moment, so I left my seat and held the rod. I have been rude in many ways, please forgive me."

His politeness in this manner made Ying Jiang Hong somewhat unaccustomed.

Even Lie Shan Ren Huang's usurpation was discussed, and he was still so respectful to me, a Tian Shi?

"No harm. Today is a world meeting, and everyone on and off the stage can speak their minds." Ying Jiang Hong waved his hand, perfectly embodying the air of the central empire: "Zhenjun Jiang will certainly have an answer."

"Let me first explain what I did when I left my seat!" Jiang Wang said.

Ying Jiang Hong looked at him: "This seat is also curious!"

Jiang Wang had already bowed several times. At this moment, he spread his hands, straightened his back, and looked levelly at Ying Jiang Hong: "There is a senior I greatly respect and love, who calls himself an old fisherman. Today, I also consider myself a fisherman! In the time of wind and waves, I went out to sea to catch fish and exchange it for money, to redeem some lives."

"Oh?" Ying Jiang Hong lightly glanced at Fu Yun Qin, then turned his gaze back to examine Jiang Wang: "What kind of fish did you catch that is actually precious enough to redeem lives?"

Jiang Wang said: "This fish is named Mao Zhiben."

Ying Jiang Hong's expression became somewhat serious: "You killed Mao Zhiben?"

Jiang Wang honestly said: "I heavily wounded him and should have consumed some of his lifespan. But to what extent I wounded him, I still don't know. He has an extremely deep mind and hides very well."

At that time, Mao Zhiben had just woken up, and it was during the Tian Dao sea tsunami, so it was absolutely not a favorable time for him to fight.

But in order to save his Tian Hai ferry boat, he had to receive a sword.

If he could keep the Tian Hai ferry boat, there would still be possibilities for him to make arrangements in the Tian Hai. If he lost the ferry boat, it would be equivalent to handing over the Tian Hai.

This was the choice Jiang Wang left for Mao Zhiben, and he also knew Mao Zhiben's choice beforehand—that sword was originally aimed at killing Mao Zhiben. However, things did not always go as people wished. Mao Zhiben was not someone who could be killed just by wanting to.

"I heard that after obstructing you last time, Mao Zhiben had been in deep sleep in the Feng Shen Tai. You were able to fish him out and heavily wound him, which is indeed admirable." Ying Jiang Hong said with no expression: "But merely heavily wounding this rascal, is it enough to mention it on this occasion?"

Mao Zhiben was of course an extremely important figure. It could be said that killing one Mao Zhiben was a greater merit than killing three or five Heavenly Demons.

But he was not killed! What merit could be presented?

"The Tian Shi misunderstands." Jiang Wang said in a light voice: "I didn't fish out Mao Zhiben's life, I fished out his possibility of interfering with me."

The stage and the area below the stage were all quiet.

What matter still needed to prevent Mao Zhiben from interfering?

Even to the extent of shocking the sleeping Mao Zhiben awake, just to eliminate the possibility of interference?

Ying Jiang Hong paused for a moment, twisting his brow: "What does Zhenjun Jiang intend to do?"

Jiang Wang said: "Since the death of Long River Dragon Lord, the central empire has taken on its duty, with fifty thousand water troops stationed at Guan He Tai, patrolling day and night. The southern Tian Shi has even stationed his Dharma body here, not lightly moving. Suanni, Puliao, and Jing Country have all issued decrees. And strong troops are stationed at Bixie and Fuxie. Baxia bridge and Long Men are personally guarded—"

Saying this, he paused: "Song Country also has troops stationed on the river bank, patrolling against water disasters."

Tu Wei Jian below the stage breathed a sigh of relief.

The people of Song Country, united in heart, working diligently for water matters, should not be forgotten!

And Jiang Wang continued: "Three of the Nine Towns are guarded by the country, and Yun Country assists it. Nine of the Nine Towns are personally supervised by the Qi Nan Xia army."

"Yong Country cannot resign from the two towns of Ya Zi, and Yu Jing Mountain cannot give up the town of Niu Prisoner... These matters make the matters of one river a concern for tens of thousands of people. Various parties are consuming a huge amount of resources every day, and the world is quite spent!"

Since Ao Shuyi's death, all sides have been scrambling to do things, and relying on the strong foundation of the Human Race, they have indeed kept the Long River under control. But to govern long-term and have long-term peace, this matter of river control must have a unified plan and a long-term system, and cannot only rely on the self-awareness of various parties to prevent. This is also the core reason for holding the river control meeting today.

He listed the merits of various parties and slowly closed his eyes: "I now—"

He faced Ying Jiang Hong, standing before Fu Yun Qin. For a moment, his blue shirt billowed, and his long hair danced wildly. When he opened his eyes, it was already the golden sun and snowy moon, with boundless brilliant light.

"Willing to guard it for the world!"

At this same time, that Tian Dao ocean which had just burst into a sea tsunami seemed to quiet down.

Infinite and endless Tian Dao power descended from the heavens, falling directly onto Guan He Tai.

Like the Milky Way, hanging upside down in the long empty space!
