Chapter 2441: March 4th

Spring is beautiful again, but only for three months.

The third day of the third month, no matter how long it feels, is still only twelve hours.

Everything will pass.

The battle within the Zhen Guo Da Shuai Mansion finally ended. After night fell and before the sky broke dawn, a sword cry pierced the clouds, signaling the final chapter.

The thin green donkey, pulling the cart, slowly moved again.

Time flowed, and the cart wheel was like a year wheel.

Xiang Qian lay sprawled on a pile of grass, completely sinking into it.

Xianlong Faxiang sat on the cart shaft, driving for him.

The cart was broken, the donkey was old, everything was simple, but the driver made it not simple.

Xiang Qian opened his mouth, muttering twice, but no sound came out.

Xianlong Faxiang glanced at him: "Just cry out if it hurts, I won't let others hear."

This guy's entire body's bones were shattered. He lay there unable to move—but he wasn't moving anyway, so the problem wasn't big.

As long as he didn't die, he wasn't wasted. Sooner or later, he could recover. He could go back and find a medical path Zhenren to fix him up a bit... it would just be a bit expensive. Who could he borrow this money from?

Of course, Wang Yiwu wasn't doing much better. The Dragon Light had shot through his Tongtian Palace and was nailed in his Yun Shen Hall. Jiang Wang had pulled it out just in time.

"Too lazy to cry out," Xiang Qian said.

Xianlong Faxiang was too lazy to reason with him.

Qi Country's official roads were built very wide, but the donkey cart, as it walked, just flew up into the sky.

Countless auditory threads supported this donkey cart and carried Xiang Qian forward—the target was Renxin Hall.

Dongwang Valley was certainly closer, but their reputation for using poison made people hesitate somewhat.

As for the Qi Country Imperial Hospital... hum!

That skinny donkey still thought it was on flat ground, consciously shouldering a heavy responsibility, walking forward with difficulty.

The howling wind was all pushed away. The high-speed galloping donkey cart was eerily quiet.

The boundless pitch-black sky was torn open by the morning light in Xiang Qian's eyes.

He looked blankly for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who do you think will win?"

Jiang Wang, of course, knew what he was asking. He glanced at the distant dome: "The Master of the Great Luo Mountain."

"That's good then," Xiang Qian exhaled in a seemingly relaxed manner.

Xianlong Faxiang smiled.

Discussions from the outside transcended.

"The Way" as a super-mundane source, "Dao Men" as an ancient and eternally standing peak, were absolutely the most influential super-mundane powers in the entire present world.

And Yu Zhaoluan, Zong Dezhen, and Ji Zuo were the three people who currently held the highest power in Dao Men.

Their power was fundamentally unimaginable.

Jiang Mengxiong could actually challenge them!

This in itself was a saga.

This was also surpassing the impossible.

Xiang Qian's mindset was still pretty good.

"Why did they suddenly start fighting?" Xiang Qian asked again.

Jiang Wang then told him about Jing Country's great search of the world.

Hearing Jiang Wang say that the Jing Country people had dismantled the Yuan Tian Shen Jiao and forced the Yuan Tian Shen to bow his head, Xiang Qian was astonished for a moment.

After a long time, he said, "Tianmo Yuan is a very complex place. Yin Xiaoheng died there. Does it have some secret?"

"I don't know." Xianlong Faxiang shook his head. "It's still sealed there now. No information can be transmitted out."

He looked at Xiang Qian: "You understand Tianmo Yuan very well?"

Even the Lord of Jiang, Jiang Wang, had only recently supplemented some materials related to Tianmo Yuan.

Xiang Qian was a guy who would rather lie than sit. Could he still read history books?

"I have a Yongheng Sword Order that allows me to freely enter and exit Tianmo Yuan. It was left to me by my master back then. It is also an inheritance of the sword cultivation lineage I belong to, and it's the last contract of the Yongheng Sword Venerable in the year 832 of the Dao Calendar." Xiang Qian spat out a sword pill from his mouth. "If you need it, take it and go see."

When several people surrounded and killed Zhuang Gao Nu, Xiang Qian just sat on the Tianmo Plateau and controlled a flying sword, participating in the battle from a thousand li away.

At that time, he only thought he was doing a favor for the country, but he didn't know there was this layer of connection.

The Yongheng Sword Venerable was not eternal, but he once came close. He promoted the flying sword way, making it leap to Tongtian. By the year 733 of the Dao Calendar, it ushered in the peak years of the flying sword way system, almost becoming a flood. In that year, the flying sword path even produced Zhenjuns, and the three absolute peaks of the flying sword dominated the world, almost opening an era.

It had always been said that the Yongheng Sword Venerable died in the year the flying sword era opened. Now it seemed that wasn't the case. He died a few years before the flying sword era was shattered.

"Now, having a sword order probably won't allow entry." Jiang Wang didn't take it. "I haven't truly walked into Tianmo Yuan yet. What is it like?"

Of course, if Jiang Zhenjun wanted to enter the field to investigate now, the Jing Country people would probably give him face.

But for him to inexplicably go and look at a corpse was somewhat strange.

Xiang Qian said, "I only know that it is a place of eternal twilight. They seem to have sealed many things eliminated by the era there. The area I can enter is only related to the flying sword era. There's nothing left inside, just some ancient flying sword techniques, as well as fragmented information related to flying swords."

Xianlong Faxiang seemed to be in deep thought.

He thought of Yuan Tian Shen asking "whether there are immortals" in the Zhaowen Dao Tian Palace.

Now, Tianmo Yuan, formed after the shattering of the mythical era, was itself a relic of the eternal heavenly realm.

If one were to preserve "things eliminated by the era"...

In the era after "myth," there was nothing more than the "immortals" and "ones true" of the near-ancient past, as well as the "flying swords" which could barely be counted as half an era after the new start of the Dao Calendar.

Unlike the "flying sword era," the "one true era," although very short, truly became an era.

So, Yin Xiaoheng died in Tianmo Yuan because he was searching for something from an era past?

Were the people who killed him also related to this?

"The last contract of the Yongheng Sword Venerable just left some useless information there?" Jiang Wang asked.

Xiang Qian's dead fish eyes could still turn with difficulty: "Otherwise? The flying sword era is all gone. Leaving a little trace is already not bad."

Before entering the Tianmo Plateau, he had also fantasized about whether some killer moves were left there.

Facts proved that he was thinking too much. The flying sword techniques sealed there were all very basic.

The strongest inheritance of the flying sword era was already on him.

Xianlong Faxiang glanced at him.

Xiang Qian sighed again: "Like this, even if the entire lineage of flying sword transmitters dies out completely, ten thousand years later, someone goes to the eternal twilight and will also know that flying swords once existed."

These words didn't sound auspicious. Xianlong Faxiang said, "Say less, rest a bit. You're injured like this, you can't handle worrying about an era."

Xiang Qian was indignant: "If you hadn't come and stopped me, that kid..."

"That's right! He was destined to die!" Xianlong Faxiang connected the words very simply.

He was the one who stopped that duel in the end. According to the agreement between him and Chen Zeqing, it should be counted as Xiang Qian losing.

But if the two sides had fought to the death, Wang Yiwu would also not have survived.

As for now, Xiang Qian was still more seriously injured.

The flying sword way relies too much on risk. Either kill the enemy, or the sword breaks.

Xiang Qian originally thought his friend would refute him, but Jiang Wang's flattery made him feel less interested. After being silent for a while, he sighed: "Do I indeed still differ a bit?"

"Differ where? You didn't lose. Chen Zeqing was also watching from the side. He was so worried he didn't dare to blink." Xianlong Faxiang put on a proud posture: "It's just that I made my move faster than Chen Zeqing!"

"Jiang Wang."

"Hmm?"

"Can I defeat Jiang Mengxiong in the future?"

"It's just a matter of time!" Xianlong Faxiang acted full of confidence.

Xiang Qian closed his eyes. It was indeed not objective.

But he couldn't help but grin.

The myriad auditory threads in the sky spread out in front of the large door of Renxin Hall.

An old and thin green donkey, pulling a cart with two people, one sitting and one lying, descended from the sky like this.

A large group of physicians immediately surrounded them with a rustle.

This posture of descending from the sky, they must be rich or noble!

When they saw Xianlong Faxiang's face clearly, they became even more excited.

A big business has come!

Although Renxin Hall did many good deeds and often provided free diagnoses, they had so many people to support, they also needed to eat.

How could a friend of Jiang Zhenjun not be treated for tens of thousands of yuan stone?

"I'm looking for True Person Shangguan!" Xianlong Faxiang shouted directly.

With Xiang Qian's current cultivation, idle physicians couldn't even break his skin. They would die just by touching his sword qi, let alone sticking his bones and sewing his muscles.

Among the medical path Zhenren of Renxin Hall, Jiang Wang also remembered Shangguan E'hua.

Previously, Dou Zhao was injured, and he had asked this Zhenren to treat him. His impression was very deep.

"What kind of difficult and complicated disease requires Shangguan E'hua and no one else?" Accompanied by a vigorous voice, a middle-aged man with a red face walked out of the medical hall. He wore a simple short jacket, long pants, and cloth shoes, walking like a tiger. He smiled and looked at Jiang Wang: "She just isn't here. Can this old man treat him?"

The current Hall Master of Renxin Hall, Qi Guan Zhen!

Initially, when Jiang Wang was troubled by his inability to shake off the heaven-man state, the Duke of Huai Country had invited many people to help, including Qi Guan Zhen.

Qi Guan Zhen couldn't help much, and he adamantly refused the diagnostic fee, but the Duke of Huai Country insisted on giving it. After all, human relationships were more expensive than anything.

But Jiang Wang felt that sometimes owing a human feeling was nothing...

Because Qi Guan Zhen's diagnostic fee was truly too expensive!

Even if he just made a trip out the door and didn't do anything, it was still...

Jiang Wang still didn't know how to return this sum of money.

"I'll still wait for True Person Shangguan to come back," Jiang Wang looked at Xiang Qian, feeling that he could still hold on for a long time. "Or maybe wait for Brother Yi Tang, that's also fine!"

Xiang Qian honestly closed his eyes. He also had no money.

Renxin Hall's highest honor was only the Zong Ge physician. This honor was not limited to within Renxin Hall. Physicians around the world were qualified to receive it. Only cultivators with profound medical skills and Shenlin could obtain it. Theoretically, Dongwang Valley physicians could also receive this recognition, but they didn't come.

Yi Tang currently had this title.

Furthermore, every medical path Zhenren had their own way and did not use Renxin Hall to grant titles.

Sewing and repairing Xiang Qian's Shenlin body, Yi Tang should also be able to do it.

Qi Guan Zhen looked at Xiang Qian on the donkey cart, chuckled, said nothing, turned around and went back.

Renxin Hall was short of money, very short of money!

To make him, this Hall Master, give a slight discount, that was absolutely impossible.

If he didn't set high prices, how could other physicians set high prices?

If everyone didn't set high prices, how could Renxin Hall develop?

Xiang Qian transmitted a complaint: "Why do I feel like he's looking down on us because we're poor?"

"You feel it right," Xianlong Faxiang said.

Xiang Qian was very dissatisfied: "They all say Renxin Hall hangs its pot to help the world, often diagnosing diseases for free. The name 'Renxin' is not only hung on the plaque but also engraved in people's hearts. How can they still dislike the poor and favor the rich?"

Xianlong Faxiang said faintly: "They often diagnose diseases for free. Where does their money come from?"

Renxin Hall only provided free services to those who were truly desperate. For those with reputation and businesses, the prices were extremely expensive. They held the knife and slaughtered without mercy.

Xiang Qian was silent for a long time, then said, "They have a misunderstanding of me!"

"Me too!" Xianlong Faxiang sighed. "Wait here for a while. At most three days, Yi Tang will be back."

These three days would be long for everyone!

Especially for those being stared at by Jing Country.

"The one who assassinated the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Extermination Army, Yin Xiaoheng, on Tianmo Yuan is a member of the Pingdeng Country!"

"The Pingdeng Country intends to subvert the system of the country and bring chaos to the human world. This incident is a challenge from the Pingdeng Country to the current world order!"

The newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Imperial Edict Army, the Military Machine Pivot Envoy Lou Yue, publicly declared this preliminary investigation result in Tianjing City's building.

On the third day of the third month, Yin Xiaoheng died. On the same day, the Yuan Tian Shen Jiao was completely wiped out, the Yuan Tian Shen was forced to bow his head. On the same day, all seekers of Dao in Zhaowen Dao Tian Palace were confined. On the same day, the Master of Great Luo went to Linzi and fought Jiang Mengxiong.

On the early morning of the fourth day of the third month, Lou Yue declared the investigation result.

Also on this early morning, at the same time Lou Yue publicly declared the result—

A man in brocade clothes with a jade face and a fan hanging from his waist walked in front, and a man wearing an embroidered golden python robe and holding a pair of iron gall bladders walked behind. One in front and one behind, they walked into the Fallen Immortal Forest.

The former was the Sect Master of the Martial Dao Sect, Da Zong Wang Ji Jinglu.

The latter was the Great Jing's Zong Qin, Jin Wang Ji Xuanzhen!

Brothers fight tigers together, father and son fight in battle.

These two, grandfather and grandson, came out of the same mansion, almost representing the Central Empire's Jin Wang Mansion, and single-handedly faced Tian Gong City!

Since Qian Tang Jun Bo Lu sorted out the Aranya Ghost Cave and established Tian Gong City, in a short two years, this male city, which raised the banner of equality high and absorbed the world's "people with ambitions for equality," developed rapidly.

Chu Country's indulgence was an important factor, and Heaven Ghost Bo Lu's methods were the key.

Not only did he widely connect the ambitious scholars from all directions under the banner of "equality," but he also subdued two Heaven Ghosts, one named "You Yan" and the other "Xuan Fu."

A large number of conscious ghosts lived here just like humans.

This was the only city so far where humans and ghosts publicly coexisted in one place, so it also had another name, called "Two Worlds City," claiming to be a "Yin and Yang passage, a blessed land of Two Yi."

Everyone knew that the development of Tian Gong City was poured into with huge effort. It was absolutely not just a cover, but the bridgehead for the Pingdeng Country to truly enter the world—so even though Jing Country had already publicly declared it, many people did not believe that the Pingdeng Country would lay hands on a Jing Country military commander.

But with things developing to this point, whether people believed it or not was no longer important, and even whether the Pingdeng Country really did it was not important. What was important was that Jing Country thought so!

Then Tian Gong City could no longer exist.

Now the only problem was—

The Fallen Immortal Forest was in the Southern Domain. Here, they traditionally did not show face to the Jing Country people.

It was absolutely impossible for the Jing Country people to deploy an army.

Could one Jin Wang Mansion, two honored Yan Dao Zhen Juns, bring down Tian Gong City?

Everyone was waiting for the result.

And the two honored members of the Central Empire's royal family did not disappoint the spectators.

They walked into the Fallen Immortal Forest one after another. They didn't even have time to breathe, let alone observe the situation or negotiate. They directly flew up.

Ji Jinglu completely changed his usual warmth and released his qi and blood extremely wantonly. His body was like a cluster of blood-colored fierce sun, roasting the entire Fallen Immortal Forest, causing screams and wails everywhere.

He just crossed this fierce land of the world and killed directly towards Tian Gong City!

The sky's haze and fog were swept away, and all the sneaky yin sounds turned into wails.

Resentment accumulated above the Aranya Ghost Cave, and a bright white male city hung high on it. Continuously weaving ghost qi and regulating human qi. So that between the city base and the ghost cave, black and white cloud clusters continuously rolled.

The Aranya Ghost Cave seemed to be covered up!

This city inherited the architectural style of Yue land, but besides the original exquisiteness, it had several more parts of grandeur and a sense of widely embracing the four seas. It was not without the meaning of imitating the Ten Thousand Demon Gate of Tianjing City.

And at this moment—

A blood-colored fierce sun descended from the sky.

Every sound that came out of Ji Jinglu's mouth exploded into thunderclaps that swept in all directions. Before he could finish a sentence, the light and shadow rolling outside Tian Gong City were already swept clean, as if to renovate this city!

"Bo Lu, your death is nigh!"

Sorry, I had something to do and was late.

Thanks to book friend "Qian Bei Nan Mai Zui" for becoming the alliance leader of this book! For the 814th alliance of Red Heart Patrol Heaven!
