The deafening hoofbeats suddenly ceased.
Neat and uniform, imposing.

The dust rose high in the air, then settled gently once more.
It's like a dance abruptly cut short.
It is truly a rare and elite force!

Of course, this further highlights the commanding presence of the team's leading player.

Jiang Wang's eyes lit up: "Xiao Guangshu!"
Although this was the first time he saw the child in reality, and his appearance differed from that in the Illusory Realm of Vast Emptiness, Jiang Wang still recognized him at a glance.
That kind of innate spiritual aura is truly unmatched.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a gritted voice rang in his ear: "Don't add the word 'little'!"
Jiang Wang smiled faintly: "Nice to meet you. Please take care of me, General Zuo."
The young general, seated high upon his steed, nodded arrogantly, and said, “Brother Jiang, it’s good to see you again!”
Jiang Wang looked at him with interest and said, "Not seen in the Illusory Realm of Tai Xu."
Left Guangshu let out a soft hum, and with a flick of his palm, a knight led over a divine steed with water-blue mane.
He lifted his chin, with a general's bearing, and said: "Speak while mounted."
>
The knight holding the horse whispered, "This one is also the young master's mount, brought here specially for you. It has a rather bad temper, so perhaps you could be more gentle in your movements."
But looking at this horse, its fur was smooth and glossy, tall and long. Its mane cascaded like a waterfall, and its entire body was covered in azure hair, as if wearing a layer of waves.
>
His eyes were wary and threatening, it seemed his temper wasn't very good.
Jiang Wang casually pulled on the reins, flipped over with ease, and landed gracefully on his horse's back.
This horse's nose quivered, its hoof raised, ready to teach this reckless and rude stranger a lesson.

But then a terrifying power came crashing down.
The hoof had only risen half an inch before it crashed back to the ground, rooted like an ancient tree, unmoving.
The sound stopped halfway through, as if it was abruptly cut off.
Its horse head drooped slightly, and its eyes softened, becoming docile.

Jiang Wang reached out to stroke the horse's water-blue mane and heard Zuo Guangshu say, "This is your first time seeing me, but it's not my first time seeing you. When you were desperately fighting on the Guanhe Platform, I was watching leisurely from below!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To describe the failed meeting at the Yellow River as so fresh and elegant!
Jiang Wang smiled faintly, turning her horse's head with Zuo Guangshu. She didn't ask Zuo Guangshu why he hadn't come out to greet her earlier, only saying, "I presume my heroic figure has left a deep impression on you!"
Zuo Guangshu instinctively wanted to retort, but when the words reached his lips, he found himself agreeing with Jiang Wang. He snorted in response.
With reins in hand, a light tap of boots against the stirrup, the divine steed leapt high and galloped away.
Jiang Wang rode his horse alongside him.
A whole troop of cavalry in flaming armor also turned at the same time, following closely behind.
Both the north and south city gates of Lin City were wide open, and the main street in the city had been cleared early in preparation.
Such a valiant cavalry, their hooves drumming like thunder, rode straight through this border town.
It came rushing in, and rushed out.
“Who was that just now The young master came to greet them in person” The guards at the city gates of Lin City couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.
"Didn't you hear his last name is Jiang"
"What's wrong with the surname Jiang"
“The Shan Hai Realm will open in February. What do you think, can the younger generation allow Young Master to go outside the city Is there another Jiang family in this world”
"The Yellow River's Leading Figure!"
>
“The top internal expert in history as mentioned by Yu Beidou”
“As for what Yu Beidou said, it’s true that he has immortal feats. With his inner cultivation, he even killed four great demon lords!”
"Now we're outside the inner walls!"
> "I wonder how he compares to Lord Dou Zhao now"
“Hmph, are you crazy What can a newcomer possibly compare to the esteemed Master”
"We might as well give it a shot, right Didn't he already beat Chen"
Who is Chen
The murmurings of people naturally always follow behind the strong.
Sometimes it's a garnish, sometimes it's a stain.

Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu rode side by side, with the former possessing an otherworldly elegance and the latter's steed resembling a soaring dragon.
Rushing along the vast land of Xiongchu, my heart soared with joy.
They are not just good opponents in the realm of illusions, they are also like-minded and enjoy each other's company.
There is a name that is not easily spoken, an invisible bond.
Let them each feel a little closer to the other.
Jiang Wang grasped the reins and, amidst the howling wind, asked, "Where are we going now"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"First, we go to Huichang," said Zuo Guangshu. "The usual preparation time for entering the Shan Hai Realm is two months. If you had come last year, you would have plenty of time. Now it's a bit late, we need to hurry up. Huichang is the fiefdom of the Zuo clan, where my family has made many preparations and has enough conditions to help us adapt to the Shan Hai Realm in advance."
"I would have come last year if I could," Jiang Wang said with a wry smile.
He had set his sights on participating in the Shan Hai realm, but as soon as he left Yun Guo, he was labeled a demon summoner and relentlessly pursued by everyone. One trouble after another, it truly felt like undeserved misfortune.
He thought he had missed the Shan Hai realm, having already failed to meet Zu Guangshu. But the case in Linzi, with its ominous undercurrents, ended prematurely, and he happened to need a break. Zu Guangshu also said that the Shan Hai realm would only open on February 3rd of Daoli's year 2092, so he went back to Chu again.
Hearing Jiang Wang say this, and thinking about the harrowing experiences the other had been through recently, Zuo Guangshu tightened his grip on the reins, still looking ahead, but his voice suddenly dropped to a whisper: "I don't blame you..."
Left Xiao Gongye's two mounts were exceptionally beautiful, especially when they moved together, resembling the blue sky, green sea, and falling red dust. It was truly a feast for the eyes and inspiring admiration.
All of them were even more magnificent than the flaming steed belonging to Lord Jiang.
Jiang Wang rode his steed, turning his head to glance at the young soldier. Though galloping at full speed, the latter's posture remained steady with hardly a tremor. His bearing and demeanor clearly indicated that he came from a noble family. His expression was particularly proud, displaying a certain coldness as he stared ahead, yet his voice when he spoke was surprisingly timid.
"What are you looking at!" Zuo Guangshu suddenly snapped.
Jiang Wang smiled: "You are bigger than I imagined."
"Zuo Guangshu immediately put on his helmet, saying in an annoyed tone: "I'm already sixteen!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Hahaha…” Jiang Wang laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at!"
Of course, Jiang Wang couldn't say that he had a little sister who was always saying, "I'm six years old now!" or "I'm seven years old now!"
Only children speak like that.
He just said, “Actually, after really meeting you, there’s been one question I’ve wanted to ask you.”
Zuo Guangshu proudly raised his chin: "What's the problem"
Jiang Wang looked at her with curiosity and said, "Why are you still speaking in a baby voice even though you're sixteen"
The cavalry following close behind was indeed well-trained, not a single one of them cracked a smile.
Left Guangshu: …
Zuo Guangshu decided to walk quickly and quietly, at least for today; he didn't want to speak with this unlucky person anymore.
"Hey." Jiang Wang called out.
"General of the Left!"
"Zu Guangshu!"
"Little Guangshu"
"Don't add the character 'small'!" Zu Guangshu gritted his teeth and said.
Jiang Wang nodded earnestly and then asked, "Are we just going to gallop freely within these borders Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate We're about to enter the city. Should we slow down first and have someone inform the city guards That way, we can avoid any misunderstandings."
Master Jiang, accustomed to traveling all over the land, still adheres to rules and regulations. He wouldn't act recklessly just because the Left Family is a renowned clan in Chu.
This is a serious issue after all.
Zu Guangshu, after all, had the awareness of being the host. He wouldn't just leave it unanswered. He raised his chin and said, "When I, Zu, travel, arrangements will be made along the way. There's no need to say more!"
Jiang Wang was speechless for a moment.
The grandeur of the young lord of Chu is indeed much greater than that of a certain Qingyangzi of Qi.
>
Here, the city streets were clean, everyone gave way, and within its borders, armies could move freely on horseback without obstruction. Such a grand display of power, Jiang Wang had never dared to imagine in Qi.
The human cavalry pressed on relentlessly, passing through cities without stopping and encountering no obstacles at the passes.
By the third day morning, horse hooves had already stepped into Huai Chang Prefecture.

Unless Zuo Guangxu himself had come to pick her up, or Jiang Wang had personally come for her, it would have been impossible for her to arrive so quickly.
It's not that he doesn't have this kind of speed, but in the Chu Realm, he simply never had this much freedom.
The Zuo clan of the State of Chu was a prominent family with a history spanning three thousand years. Along with the Qu, Dou, and Wu clans, they were considered among the oldest and most esteemed families in Chu, sharing the state's prosperity and decline. They possessed deep cultural foundations and noble lineage.

Latercomers like the Zhongli and Xiang families, though perhaps not inferior in strength, inevitably fall a few notches short when compared to those who came before.
Huai Chang County, as the enfeoffment of the Zuo family for thousands of years, has been very prosperous.
The Left's influence here runs deep, ingrained in every inch of soil.
Here's your text translated into English:

Of course, Jiang Wang was very interested in the childhood memories of the Left Guanglie and Left Guangshu brothers.
But he didn't even have time to rest at the Zuo family estate before Zuo Guangshu disbanded the cavalry and took him directly to Luoshan...
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
First, the State of Chu is about to begin construction, it seems time is indeed very pressing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This kid, Zuo Guangshu, didn't mention it in his letter before.
Otherwise, how could Jiang Wang leave a day or two early... Forget it, since he's having so much fun staying in Yun Guo, he probably won't leave early.
“Not a moment’s delay!” Walking amidst the lush foliage of Luoshan, Jiang Wang let out a long sigh.
Giant stones paved the mountain path, with flowers fragrance wafting and birds chirping incessantly.
>
If you put aside the time pressure, you should be able to appreciate the beauty of this mountain.
Zuo Guangshu strode forward: “Because we want to adapt to the environment of the Shanhai Realm in advance, we may not have an extra minute.”
"It seems that you didn't come to the border city to greet me out of admiration, but simply to save time" Jiang Wang couldn't help asking.
"You just found out" Left Guangshu rolled his eyes.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
He deliberately brought a squad of elite cavalry to the border city to meet Jiang Wang, of course, to give his older brother some face.
But of course he wouldn't admit it.
"Well, that eye roll is textbook perfect, complete and utter," Jiang Wang commented. This served to offset the sigh of exasperation she felt towards the child's lack of "good behavior."
But speaking of, Zuo Guangshu's eyes are truly big and bright. They aren't like Chong Xuan's, who every time he rolls his eyes it's as if he's sneaking around, and if you don't look carefully, you wouldn't even notice.
"Are you serious" Zuo Guangshu said with displeasure.
It was strange that, despite being the first time they had met in the real world, there was no awkwardness between them.
It seems like they were always meant to be this close.
>Spring has arrived, and the air is filled with a particularly vibrant scent.
This mountain doesn't become famous because the Zuo clan doesn't allow outsiders to enter.
Here is the translation of your text:
As the forbidden land of Huai Chang County, where those not from the Zuo family were prohibited from entering, Luoshan was naturally no ordinary place.
People in the state of Chu often used whether or not a family owned an independent theater building as a benchmark for how powerful that family was.
The Left family of the Great Chu state possessed three halls for practicing martial arts, and the largest one was located on Luoshan Mountain.
Therefore, the importance of this mountain is evident.
After walking for a while, Jiang Wang couldn't help but say with a hint of sweetness, "If you went to my fiefdom, I would definitely run to the border city to greet you. And it wouldn't be because I was in a hurry, just because I welcome you."
Of course, how close Qingyang Town is to Biancheng needn't be stated.
It takes less than a meal.
They certainly couldn't catch up to them riding Zuo Guangshu's divine steeds, they ran for days...
Jiang Wang using the rhetoric of Xu Xiangqian, a highly-regarded student from Qingya Academy, left Zuo Guangshu floundering for a response.
"Alright, alright, I get it," he mumbled. "I only put the cavalry at your disposal because I consider you a good friend!"
“Well, these things need to be expressed, don't they How would I know if you didn't tell me” Jiang Wang smiled brightly: “Good friend, good brother, isn't that right”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zuo Guangshu quickened his pace and walked ahead, which could be considered tacit agreement.
Jiang Wang smiled and followed up: "You can introduce me to Luoshan, brother! This is my first time here, I'm completely lost. What kind of flowers and trees are there What history does it have What amazing people have been here... you can tell me anything!"
Jiang Wang wasn't actually a naturally outgoing person. On the contrary, he was somewhat "shy" in many situations. However, whenever he was with Zuo Guangshu, he always seemed to find amusement in teasing the younger boy.
As if crossing time, to look at one's past self—walking towards another possible version of oneself.
This is the text from before.
Coming from so far, Brother Jiang was so eager to learn, so Zu Guangshu could only introduce things in a perfunctory manner, but secretly quickened his pace.
The mountain path forked, turning left through a flower garden and over a suspension bridge.
After enduring the earsplitting noise for so long, Zuo Guangshu finally let out a sigh of relief: “We're here!”
The bridge behind had already been hidden in the mist.
What is before my eyes is a closed-off mountain valley.
The stone-paved mountain road stretched from the suspension bridge all the way here, finally stopping before a giant stone gate.
This is a very heavy stone gate. The texture on the gate is roughly like the natural appearance of the stone itself, quite coarse. There's an ancient dullness to it.
>
Before the Stone Gate there were no guards, but on either side there was a tower.
"Uncle Bao!" Zuo Guangshu shouted.
There is someone on top of the tower.
That's definitely a master.
Before Zuo Guangxu could shout, Jiang Wang hadn't sensed any aura from the tower.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
At this moment, atop the left tower, an aura surged from nothing to existence, like a beast awakening. It instantly made Jiang Wang feel danger.
"Has the person you asked for arrived" A man with a diagonal scar across his face looked down at Jiang Wang from atop the tower.
>
That was just a fleeting glance, yet Jiang Wang felt as if the other person was searching for his weakness.
With a still stance, muscles tensed subtly. The first reaction was to enter a state of readiness for combat at any moment.
It's not that I'm worried about something happening on the Zuo family's territory, but rather a combat instinct.
Through his cultivation, he has reached a state where his body instinctively senses danger and will not allow him to relax.
"Yes!" Zuo Guangshu confidently replied.
>
The man, known as "Scar," didn't say much and seemed to have little interest in Jiang Wang. He simply withdrew his gaze and casually pressed something behind him.
Then the two huge stone gates slowly creaked open. It’s rare for us to gather like this. When we will unite again is unknown. We have plenty of time, you can take your time to consider. Besides, even if you want to stop the return of the Demon Ancest...
