Chapter 142: The Heart of 'Bitterness'

rgy erupted, rapidly coalescing into shape. It formed a large earthen spear, the color of ochre clay, shaped like a mountain stone expertly honed. It was heavy and solid but vanished in a flash, no lo...“An equal country” a cold female voice suddenly asked.

Jiang Wang looked up and saw a figure standing in the distance, exuding both majesty and beauty.

It is unknown when or how it appeared.

Of course, she could only be the city lord of Unredemption City, and now Lord Jun Huan is silent.

Facing Jiang Wang's gaze, she explained, "Guests are welcome, and even though you have compromised the safety of the city, I still need to look after it."

What kind of person is Huang Jinmo In what way does she need to explain her actions to others

A glance at Brother Chu's proud eyebrows and eyes gave Jiang Wang plenty of reason to suspect... Zui Jun had overheard Zhu Wei's words about wandering the world and had come after him on purpose.

Otherwise, with this woman's temper, she would have to eat until she was bursting in order to specially come out of the city to escort someone like Jiang

Of course, the grown-up Jiang Ye wouldn't show such suspicion on his face.

He seemed to have suddenly understood and let out an "Oh" before sincerely apologizing, "I'm so sorry for troubling you, my lord."

Huang Jinmo waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter and needn't be elaborated on. He then asked, "You just said... Equality Nation"

>

Jiang Wang thought to himself, this woman really likes eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

"I have had several contacts with the people of Equality Nation and I know something about their way of doing things."

>

"Do you think Xiao Shu is also a person from the Equal Nation" Huang Jin asked very directly.

>

Jiang Wang thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't think so. They may have similar confusions about this world. But the people in the Equal Country already have a strict organizational framework, a consistent action plan, and their firm belief in what they call ideals... They have established their own path, although in the eyes of many, they have strayed onto the wrong path."

“While Xiao Shu's ideal differs from that of an equal country, and Xiao Shu and his group have not yet found a way to reach their ideal.”

Jiang Wang had heard Chu Yu's impassioned speech and Xiao Shu's final words.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He understood Xiao Shu's ideals, which were also Chu Yu's ideals.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

These two people have the same goals and are moving towards the same target.

Therefore, it is only natural that a civilian genius from the state of Dan and a military genius from the state of Chu, two individuals seemingly worlds apart, would trust each other implicitly and offer each other unwavering support.

"Furthermore," Jiang Wang added, "if Xiao Shu was from the Equal Nation, with his current performance and value, they should have sent someone to meet him. From what I understand, the Equal Nation is powerful. Zhang Xun alone wouldn't be enough of a deterrent."

Huang Jin Mo listened for a few moments, then suddenly glanced at Zhu Wei Yi, her voice still cold, but not overly so. "What's with that look"

Wei looked at them, shrugged, and said, "Hearing you guys talking about things I don't understand, I don't know if I should be pleased or disappointed."

"That depends on what you think is more important." Huang Jin murmured.

Nearby Jiang Wang:

I thought you were really interested in the Equal Country.

“Well then…” Jiang Wang spoke quite consciously, “I'll send you a thousand miles, but we must part ways eventually. Otherwise, I’ll just send you here.”

Huang Jinmo and Zhu Wei stopped their footsteps, almost at the same time.

Jiang Wang looked at Zhu Wei, a little discontent in her heart, but still with a smile on her face: "Didn't Brother Zhu say he wanted to travel the world with me"

"I've been wandering these wilds for a while," Wei said softly, looking around the desolate landscape.

After some thought, he reluctantly added, "Take care, junior brother."

I went out of town and have since been wandering the world.

His horizon, is really near.

The distance between Neverredemption City and Dan Kingdom is not a difficult journey for a Divine Realm powerhouse flying at full speed.

But at this very moment, as Zhang Xun was flying through the air, he felt... it was really too far!

He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of genius was Xiao Shu, that he could escape with the cultivation base of an Inner Palace realm, under such intense pursuit, all the way to Bu Xuecheng

And yet, how foolish I was.

It is probably impossible for anyone to believe that the unspeakable sorrow he feels at this moment is all because of Xiao Shu's death!

And how could he let people know

Everyone thought that Xiao Shu's failure was due to his own arrogance. It was because the forty days he set was, relative to the Divine Presence realm, extremely short. It was because his accumulation was insufficient, and he had pushed himself too hard...

But of all those present, only Zhang Xun himself understood that the root cause was actually that one Six Senses Pill...

Xiao Shu took, in the final step of the God's Wrath Descent, a pill that wasn't actually the true Six Senses Pill.

The Dan Guo no longer has the ability to refine genuine Liushi Dan!

This is what truly unsettles the high officials of the Dan Kingdom and fills Zhang Xun with fear.

They absolutely cannot let this get out.

Under the oppression of the mighty Qin, before the devastated plains of the river valley.

What allows the Dan Nation to persevere, to barely maintain its facade Isn't it their alchemy, unparalleled and considered the foundation of their nation

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Once the last veil is lifted, Dan Guo will be completely defenseless like a piece of fat meat to Qin Guo!

So why are they so desperate to cover it up

So why didn't they give Xiao Shu Tianyuan Great Pill, or Six Senses Pill to Xiao Shu

Because Denmark doesn't exist anymore!

This is the English translation of your content:

The so-called Yuan Shi Dan Hui has, since long ago, been nothing more than a hollow shell with no real substance.

The so-called incompetent son of the Zhang clan, Zhang Jing, that younger brother of Zhang Xun, was actually just a pitiful facade.

This should be a paragraph.

He used his arrogance and incompetence to cover up the biggest secret of this country.

Even Zhang Jing himself thought that he had truly swallowed the Heavenly Origin Great Pill back then, but due to his limited talent and bad luck, he couldn't fully unleash the pill's effects.

This is a drama that has lasted for far too many years.

As the first family in Dan Guo, the Zhang family abandoned Zhang Jing from the very beginning, intentionally cultivating him into an arrogant and incompetent second-generation ancestor.

He became arrogant, rude, greedy, and unaware.

The dominance of his family, the unquestioning obedience of his elders, and the fawning flattery of his sycophants made him extremely satisfied. He truly believed that he was a genius who was no less talented than his older brother Zhang Xun, that at present he was just a pearl hidden in dust, yet to shine brightly.

He truly felt that he was simply lazy right now. When he truly put in the effort, he would surely make rapid progress, catching up to his older brother effortlessly.

He still eagerly awaited the Sixth Sense Pill, hoping for a divine manifestation. Yet, even if he truly received it, there would be no significant breakthrough for him. The label of "廢物" (waste) would forever be his burden to bear!

The valley... even at times... is used to make Zhang Xun "sacrifice his kinship for righteousness" and reshape the people's faith in the country.

Being able to produce elixirs such as the Heavenly Yuan Great Dan and the Six Senses Pill has always been the biggest trump card of the Dan Nation, their most important reliance, and the fundamental basis for their resistance against the Qin Empire. They cannot, nor dare they, lose it.

They would rather create an extremely unfair environment, making those talented individuals who suffer from ‘injustice’ develop the determination and courage to break this unjust system and lead the country back on the right track.

I don't want to make people completely lose hope in this country.

We dare not let other countries see the weakness of Denmark's dying state!

When a yellow bull has an exposed belly, wolves will surely devour it.

Although the State of Qin cast a covetous eye westward, were figures like Zhuang Gao and Xian not also driven by boundless ambition

How dare the state of Dan gamble

For a genius like Xiao Shu, the Dan Guo high level had prepared another faction to sing praises. When Xiao Shu was in despair and resentment, they gave him hope again and continued to support him, allowing him to be reborn from the flames.

Just like ten years ago.

When Xiao Shu himself grows up to become a high-ranking official of the Dan Kingdom, he will be told the truth at that time. He will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of the high-ranking officials.

But unexpectedly... ten years later, this scene bombed.

Xiao Shu directly stole the pill and left.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Shu actually managed to escape Dan Guo on his own and made it all the way to Bu Xuecheng, securing himself forty days of time. And with this feat of challenging Shen Lin within those forty days, he captured the attention of the entire world!

So in fact, at the very last moment of Xiao Shu's life, Zhang Xun was already prepared to completely tear his face with Buxuecheng. He had actually made up his mind to forcefully charge into Buxuecheng and obliterate Xiao Shu's so-called testament.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

But Xiao Shu...didn't say anything.

He didn't seem to notice at all that the Liujishi Dan he had swallowed was flawed, lacking something fundamental.

Like Xiao Shu, a genius like him, who truly touched upon the divine at a certain moment... How could he not have discovered it!

He only understood the truth at that time, and chose silence!

That's why he would say...

Without seeing him die, Zhang Xun wouldn't be at peace.

>

That's why Zhang Xun is now feeling sorrow and pain.

He and his country, have truly lost a talented individual who was full of love for his nation. But...who could be blamed for this

Welcome, Master Zhang!

A line of servants waited outside the mansion, like stalks of straw bending in the wind, falling one after another.

>

Zhang Xun leaped down, his face already back to its usual firmness and solemnity.

>

He looked ahead.

Zhang Jing's unusually arrogant face was indeed standing before the crowd.

“Big brother!” Zhang Jing greeted him with a beaming smile, raising his hand to display his masterpiece: “Look how much you’re adored! Look at the power of our Zhang family!”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhang Xun ignored him, walked past him, and said to the servants who were kneeling on the ground: "You all go about your business. Zhang Xun is nothing special, and there's no need to greet him."

“Tsk, you're always like this, so boring.”

Looking at the quickly dispersing crowd, Zhang Jing curled his lips: “Big brother, you travelled thousands of miles to slay rebels and return after defeating Xiao Shu. Shouldn't these lowly maids welcome you In my opinion, even the entire court of officials should be waiting for you at the border! A bunch of useless fools, they can't even see a single pill worth their weight! They are nothing but drunkards and gluttons; what use is it for the empire to keep them”

This statement is simply audacious, something most people wouldn't even dare to utter. Yet, he says it so naturally, which shows he isn't a stranger to such bold pronouncements.

Zhang Xun remained silent and continued walking toward the mansion.

Zhang Jing followed closely behind, smiling obsequiously: "Hey hey, big brother, did you bring back the Liushigan"

"No," Zhang Xun said. "Xiao Shu has already eaten it."

“Ah” Zhang Jing’s face was full of disappointment: “Then you ran all the way abroad for nothing”

Zhang Xun glanced at him lightly.

Zhang Jing shrank his neck and said with grievance, "Alright, alright, I'll wait for the next Six Wisdom Pill. Sigh, dammit, my luck is too bad! On such a good day, I run into this mess. At this rate, when will I be able to achieve divine manifestation"

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "This damned Xiao Shu, son of a bitch! He was given so much and still wasn't satisfied. He greedily coveted the elixir and didn't even know his place. What qualifications does he have! Dying like this is too cheap for him!"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate other text!

"It's over now, there's no need to say more." Zhang Xun said in a low voice.

He walked through the ancient Zhang residence, but found no peace of returning home. He unconsciously quickened his pace, but the shadow over his heart could not be shaken off.

Zhang Jing hurriedly chased a few steps: "Hey, elder brother, slow down a bit, I still have something to tell you!"

Without waiting for Zhang Xun to ask -- of course, he also knew Zhang Xun wouldn't ask -- he cheerfully said, "Lend me your county magistrate seal A few days ago, at Chunxiang Pavilion, I got into a fight with someone surnamed Gao! I can't swallow this anger. I have to teach that son a lesson!"

Zhang Xun suddenly turned around and almost collided with Zhang Jing who had stopped abruptly.

While Zhang Jing was stunned, Zhang Xun stared at him fiercely, his heart filled with uncontrollable rage!

In order to protect the secrets of Dan Country, he endured humiliation in Bu-Xiong City for forty days outside its walls.

Xiao Shu struggled his whole life, fighting for twenty years, and in the end he was left with nothing but a ruined dantian, a shattered body, and death. He died without redeeming himself from the city of unpardonable sins.

But Zhang Jing was only thinking about the things in the kiln, just wanting to fight and show off!

But could he curse Zhang Jing for being ignorant and foolish, saying it was impossible for him to become a god in this lifetime Could he curse Zhang Jing as a worthless waste, completely incomparable to Xiao Shu Could he say that Xiao Shu died undeservedly, poorly Could he say that Dan Guo couldn't possibly refine new Liushi Dans at all!

He can't.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Therefore, he glared at Zhang Jing with such fury, but in the end, he could only scold: "Who allowed you to have all the lower-ranking servants waiting at the gate to greet me Does our Zhang family need such a show You spend your days indulging in pleasure and doing nothing. Your time doesn't matter, but each of them has their own livelihood! They wait at the gate for several hours in the cold wind, yet they still have to water their flowers, feed their horses, and wash their clothes! Are they revering me, or secretly resentful of me!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhang Jing shrank her neck and muttered softly, "It's just a small matter, why are you so angry... I won't do it this way in the future."

Zhang Xun looked at him, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down: "That's it then."

Zhang Jing cautiously glanced at him: "That... the County Magistrate's Seal"

Zhang Xun turned around expressionlessly and waved his hand: "Go get it yourself."

"Big brother! You're so great!" Zhang Jing laughed with joy, shouting towards Zhang Xun's back: "From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

At this moment, he was filled with joy, and he didn't know.

>

It was the spark of anger that his elder brother couldn't suppress at that moment that truly reflected his emotions.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But it has already been suppressed.
