Chapter 340: White Lantern
h the image of a loyal and responsible man from a respectable family.He began to speak, his heart heavy with sorrow: "After we entered the world of Seven Stars, we followed Master Ping's orders..."Let...When the powerful leader, leading his entourage to Guanyihe Terrace, set down Cao Jie, Jiang Wang had already made a decision: to make an advance trip to Xingyueyuan.
>>>The Blazing Fire Lotus, which accumulates star power, is his trump card, and he couldn't possibly forgo using it. He wasn't arrogant enough to think he had the world's best secured. Besides, this was also a chance to ask Guanyin senior for further advice.
Every bit of profit gained is another bit of control secured.
His current state of mind is...
Having the confidence to be the best in the world and giving it their all to fight for it. But also accepting the possibility of failure.
Who among those who can participate in the Yellow River Assembly is not a top talent chosen from millions Who is not a prodigy of the nation
There is no destiny for anyone.
Even in the illusory realm of Taixu, he sometimes loses to Ning Jianke.
The so-called victory or defeat...
After standing on the viewing platform, the losers fall down, and the winners continue to stand. It's that simple.
He remains steadfast on his path, never betraying the passage of time. He has conquered opponent after opponent, defeating powerful adversary after powerful adversary. Therefore, he has every reason to believe in himself and become the number one in the world!
This is called confidence.
Feeling like you don't need to care about anyone, effortlessly taking first place without any preparation... that's called arrogance.
Of course, some people may have the capital to be arrogant.
But at least Jiang Wang didn't feel that he had.
Cao Jie, the general of Zhang Chun's army, was undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in Linzi City.
Jiang Wang had no acquaintance with this bigwig, nor any leads before he set out.
To speak of it, he had some friends in Linzi, but they were all the sons of nobles, far removed from true heavyweights like Cao Jie. Even if he put in a lot of effort to reach out to them, it wouldn't be worth it for this matter.

As for whether the Qi state's delegation might stop on their way to attend the Yellow River Assembly and wait with him for a night at Xingyue Plain
If he were to make things clear, perhaps it might be possible.
But regarding Xingyueyuan, Guan Yanyan, and Zhihuo Gulian, he didn't want to reveal too much.
>
Especially Master Guan Yan, the other party even severed their karmic ties with Xukong Temple. It's clear they don't intend to fulfill their worldly duties. If they really wanted to be known by the world, there were plenty of people at Xukong Temple who could help. There was no need for Jiang Wang to promote him here.
Jiang Wang followed his lead, of course he wouldn't act on his own accord.
However, going to the Starry Moon Plains at this time is bound to be a little delicate.
The Yellow River Conference is about to begin, and the ripples from the Equal Nation incident are still unsettled...
Jiang Wang originally intended to come and go quietly, without disturbing anyone. He would fill his star power and then return. But after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate.
After discussing with Chong Xuan, this fat man's suggestion was very simple.
Before Jiang Wang left, he just needed to let Beiya's Commandant Zheng Shibao know.
>
The more I think about it, the better it sounds.
I reported to the Imperial City Guard and to Zheng Shi, the Northern Palace Commandant. These are not the same thing.
The former was crowded with many people, while the latter... was Zheng Shangming's father.
Reporting to Zheng Shibao is the same as reporting to the Imperial City Inspection Department, so there would be no issue with the legitimacy of this trip.
As for this message, whether or not to circulate it on a small scale depends on how Zheng Shi weighs the pros and cons.
As for the incident of Jiang Wang intercepting Cui Zhu at the Grand Master's ceremony, the now-revealed Equal State might take advantage of the situation to retaliate. Having been repeatedly attacked by Qi Ting, they probably need to do something to consolidate internal morale within their organization.
If the country of equality has such plans...
With the methods of the Imperial City Guard, it shouldn't be too difficult to manipulate Jiang Wang's departure from the city into a ruse to lure out our target.
That is to say, Jiang Wang, following Chong Xuan Sheng's suggestion, informed Zheng Shi Bao about his going to Xingyue Yuan. Instead of depleting Zheng Shi's goodwill, he actually gave Zheng Shi a favor.
And this can also ensure Jiang Wang's own safety, and it can also accumulate starlight without being affected!
It has to be said, Zhong Xuan's physique is quite impressive.
Xu Xiangqian said behind his back that his fat could possibly cooperate with his brain to think... Jiang Wang felt it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Reporting to Zheng Shibao was the simplest thing imaginable, although this Northern Guard Commander was also one of the real power figures in Linzi, and it was difficult to get close to him casually.
>
But our Jiang Master, as long as he goes through Zheng Shangming, is fine.
Thinking again, he could also get in touch with Chong Xuan Chu Liang through Chong Xuan Sheng, and through Yan Fu, he could contact former Prime Minister Yan Ping...
Thus, this circle isn't as bad as it seems.
I wonder if Cao has any children
Of course, all jokes aside, you still have to do the work yourself.
Jiang Wang, through Zheng Shangming, informed Zheng Shi that due to the particularity of his cultivation method, he needed to go to Xingyue Yuan to accumulate starlight. Speaking of it, this was also in preparation for the battle at the Yellow River Conference... It could be considered reasonable.
That evening, after nightfall, he donned his cloak and black robe and quietly slipped away from Linzi under the cover of darkness.
He also didn't forget to send Ning Jianke a letter in the Tai Xu Illusory Realm, informing him that he had something to do these days and couldn't come for sparring. He said some polite words of regret.
And so it was.
Although it's a low-key trip, of course, I can't miss visiting Qingyang Town.
He was under the watchful eye of the Metropolitan Guard throughout his trip, so naturally he would take the detour back to his fiefdom. Especially, he needed to visit the Zhengsheng Hall, which he had commissioned to be built, in order to further emphasize his sense of belonging to Qi.
While also keeping a close watch, he could secretly observe whether Fan Qingqing was sincere—although he had already made the judgment that there was no problem, observing her more wouldn't hurt.
Because he was still being watched because of the eyes on his body, Jiang Wang didn't expose his invisibility cloak—he wasn't sure how the experts sent by the Imperial Guard were watching him, but they were definitely watching him. Some things are best hidden when they can be.
Luckily, after developing the "Voice of a Deva" state, his research on the Dream's Sound department surpassed Fan Qingqing. He could achieve what he wanted with seeming nonchalance, wanting to stay hidden from Fan Qingqing wasn't difficult at all.
In fact, Qiyang Town is developing very healthily now.
Jiang Wang was becoming increasingly famous, and he was making more and more friends in Qi State. The business of De Sheng Commercial House was booming. After such a long period of training, Dugu Xiaoxiao was quite capable at handling affairs. Now with Fan Qingqing diligently assisting…
>
The Zhengsheng Hall was almost finished. Fan Qingqing, obviously a clever person, knew what she should do.
From Jiang Wang's covert observation, she hadn't acted with any ulterior motives and diligently fulfilled her duties. To be fair, even if she did have some crooked ideas, Dugu Xiaoke wouldn't be so easily swayed.
Although Dugu Xiao's extraordinary journey began with Zhu Biqiong's guidance, Dugu Xiao is not Zhu Biqiong.
She understood the harshness of the world earlier than others.
Of course, today's Zhu Biqiong is not the Zhu Biqiong of the past...
Along the way, many people and things have been changing.

Even Xiang Qian, who used to lie in bed all day, is now brimming with enthusiasm as he practices swordsmanship in the world of swords.
All these changes, actually, I don't know if they are good or bad...
On the contrary, life for the people in Qingyang Town has been getting better and better, which is certainly a good thing.
As for this fiefdom, as its lord, Jiang Wang did not ask for anything extra. In fact, that was enough to allow the common people to live and work in peace and contentment. Not to mention the vitality brought by De Sheng Commercial House, and the care given to this place by the Prefect of Sunlit County out of face for Jiang Qingyang.
After so many years of development, Qingyang Town is now a famous wealthy town in Yangdi. Many people want to move here, but they are hindered by the system.
Jiang Wang did not show up, but quietly left.

From his recent travels through the countryside, it seems this land has fully integrated into the Qi kingdom. There are now many common people venturing out to enjoy the scenery in the fields and meadows.
When people from Dangyang return to Qi, life is indeed better.

It probably won't be long before the temporary position of Yangdi Sanjun Pacifier becomes that of a permanent Prefect.

This is a good thing for Tian An Tai, Huang Yi Xing, and Gao Shao Ling. They have indeed put a lot of thought into handling the Yangdi government affairs during this time.
Compared to Tian An-tai and Gao Shao-ling, who enjoyed family support, Huang Yi-xing's position was actually more secure. After all, as a former minister of the Old Yang Dynasty, his every day in office was a great reassurance for the people of Yang land.

However, the first two can be operated as their own foundation. As a newcomer to Qi State, Huang Yixing had little chance, at least in his generation. Without significant achievements, he would have no opportunity whatsoever.

Xinyueyuan is located between Xiangguo and Xuguo. From Qiguo, one can cross directly through Xuguo to reach it.
After the fall of State Yang, the Nine Kingdoms saw a period of prosperity in the East. However, after several wars and campaigns, their power waned, leaving only the Four Kingdoms: Yang, Zhao, Chang, and Xu.
After the fall of Yang, on this day, four countries became three. The people of Xu were honest and straightforward; they treated the hegemon with utmost respect. If Jiang Wang revealed his identity, he would be showered with favors along the way. Things like being shouted at by city guards before would never happen again…
However, Jiang Wang wasn't interested in such things either, so he kept a low profile and went on.
He would not show off or swagger unless it was absolutely necessary.
Zhang Yong said to Jiang Wang before his death: "Perhaps I should have killed you while I was in the state of annihilation."
This shows that within the ranks, there's definitely hostility towards Jiang Wang. It's just that Zhang Yong personally doesn't want to make the first move.

He stopped Cui Zhu's path and greatly reduced the impact of Cui Zhu's attempt to assassinate the monarch. He prevented Qi Emperor from making a decision in his rage. Such a powerful ruler, even if he knew he had made a wrong decision, probably wouldn't go back...
Therefore, Jiang Wang's departure from the Qi realm this time could potentially provoke a retaliation from the Equal Nation—if the capital inspection department handles things properly.
Technically, with Jiang Wang having reported his plans in advance, this trip was not very dangerous. Even before the Yellow River Gathering, the Imperial City Inspection Department would have provided enough protection for Jiang Wang if they were to use him as bait.
Otherwise, when the Emperor asks about it later, who will be able to take responsibility
In the three rounds of the Yellow River Conference, a powerful nation like Qi would naturally not miss out and would strive for first place in every round. If Jiang Wang were to meet with misfortune, wouldn't it be necessary for Emperor Qi to hastily choose someone else to compete
I also went to the Onsen Palace and pointed out the Platform of Military Generals, but now people are gone...
It's light to peel off a layer.
From now until the gathering at the confluence of the Yellow River, these prodigies from various nations can be said to be the most valuable individuals in all of Qi. Their reasonable requests will all be met.
At this crucial juncture in preparing for the Yellow River Conference, perhaps all contestants should honestly stay in Linzi. That would be the best choice.
But these national prodigies want to be more prepared, have more experience, who can stop them
Don't say that Jiang Wang just came to Xingyue Yuan for a visit, staying for a few nights before going back.
Over there, Ji Zhaonan also went out to sea, saying that he was just going to the Mystic Realm to hone his skills. Wasn't anyone stopping him
They are prodigies, warriors, not prisoners.
Of course, out of the three people who participated in the Yellow River Conference, only Chongxuan Zun remained honestly secluded in his mansion...
Even with Zhu Xuan's wisdom, he wouldn't think this journey would be dangerous, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
In fact, Chong Xuan believes that anyone with a bit of common sense in an equal country wouldn't fall for this trap. Even if the City Guard Office put on a convincing show, this trap is too obvious...
If Jiang Wang flew directly at his current speed, he could reach Xingyueyuan within a day. But in order to "conceal his whereabouts," he took three days.
To soar freely across the land of Xu, without revealing his Qi Tianjiao's mark would be impossible.
For traveling in a hurry, Jiang Wang is already very accustomed to it.
It's nothing but hurrying along the road, cultivating practice, hurrying along the road, cultivating practice...
This is perfectly normal.
But in the eyes of someone who "watched" him in some way, every little detail over these three days was truly touching.

Outside Xingyueyuan, on an unnamed small hill.
The stationary formation on the ground concealed its presence well.
Within the scope of the chessboard, a man with a square face and slightly frosted temples asked, "How is it"
He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a compass inlaid with jade stars. Usually he appeared very serious, but at this moment, he didn't seem to care about his appearance.
When he questioned, his eyes remained fixed on the compass.
And the man he asked was slender in build, with high cheekbones. He stood poised, hands on his hips, looking up at the sky with piercing eyes.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "With such talent that even Dr. Yi and Master Xiongtou praise, and willing to work so hard... If Jiang Qingyang cannot become famous throughout the land... then truly, justice will be undone."
The man standing there is Li Youjiu, a third-rank officer with the Qing badge from the Ducheng Inspection Department. He had previously met Jiang Wangzhao outside Taimiao and was invited by Ma Xiong to specifically investigate the clues in the Lingci of Jiu Fanghou.

And naturally, the person sitting there was none other than the renowned Spirit-Capturing Lord, Yue Leng.
He had already retired two years ago, retiring with the rank of a first-rank official. But he strongly supported the work of the current patrol captain Zheng Shi, and occasionally still participated in the actions of the city patrol office.

At first glance, Jiang Qingyang went out alone, but two divine-ranked cultivators secretly followed him. This lineup was more imposing than all the young masters in Linzi City, truly magnificent.
Yue Leng looked intently at the compass, saying, "Otherwise, do you think why I would have him into the Blue Card Hmph, back then, I heard that some people still had a grudge against me, Yue Mo. They said I was clinging to the thigh of the great Xuanjia family... Now He can go to the Yellow River Assembly, but it's our Blue Card's glory!"

Both of them stared at Jiang Wang, but the way they "stared" was different.
He relied on this compass, never leaving it out of his grasp, while Li Yu depended on his own eyes, occasionally focusing his gaze intently.
Although it was intended to lure the enemy out, before the meeting at the Yellow River, it was absolutely crucial that nothing happened to Jiang Wang.
Li Youji praised, "Your ability to see through a god is truly remarkable."
Yue Leng casually said, "Back then, even Bai Denglong was trying to..."
He suddenly closed his mouth.
Li Youjiao stopped speaking.
The term "white lantern" seems to be a taboo. Once uttered, all speech should cease.
