Chapter Fifteen: Thunderous Drums Echo, Humanity's Enli
tter anything exploded.The sword light was dazzlingly brilliant, yet tenacious and unyielding.The sword light enveloped Jiang Wang, within the domain of water, it carved out a domain of swords.With a...The news of Jiang Wang's death in the Frostwind Valley came too suddenly. It was as if just moments ago, this youngest military marquis of the Qi nation was still continuing his legend, bravely fighting and slaying two demon kings with fury. In the next moment, he met with an accident. At that time, Bai Yu Xia was still researching detailed information about the demon world, thinking about how to plan a perfect path for Jiang Wang's this journey into Tianyu, a chance to make great achievements.

As a guest, of course, he would follow the Duke of Wuan's decision. But offering reasonable advice was also his duty.
He heard everything from all directions. He did not miss the cheers of the people for Jiang Wang's deeds. Nor did he miss the regret, bewilderment, and shock of the people. Yanlao City was a city built by humans in the Demon Realm, its scale far surpassing that of ordinary mortal cities. Only those who had been bestowed with divine refinement could qualify to serve as city lords.
This is a military city, and everyone here is a warrior who will fight the demon race.

They weren't easily persuaded and rarely engaged in idle gossip. Bai Yu Xia rushed out of the courtyard specially prepared for Wu Anhou Teng from Yan Lao City, and saw Fang Yuan You was grabbing someone by the collar, his face flushed red as he roared, "What did you say What did you say!" The personal guards belonging to Wu Anhou's mansion crowded around, a menacing group.
"The man who was grabbed by Yuan You cried for mercy: “I didn't say this, it was someone from Shuangfeng Valley who said it. Perhaps they got it wrong Why don't you go ask them yourselves"
Bai Yu Xia appeased these guards and went alone to visit the lord of Yanlao City, Dou Yiheng. After all, it was Wu'an Hou who personally brought people from the demon world, so he wasn't turned away at the gate. Thus, he received more detailed information, and information that made it impossible for him to deceive himself - Shuangfeng Valley had fallen into a period of silence, and Jiang Wang hadn't come out. What did this mean Anyone who knew anything about Shuangfeng Valley could understand. Yanlao City was under martial law, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. It was said that Jing Guo Tieyan City, located in the same area, was also doing so.
Both Qi Jing and the other party should thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the mastermind behind the assassination of Marquis Wu'an.
Until late into the night, Governor Qi's demonic army commander, Xiu Yuan, even came personally to Yan Lao City. He also went to Fengfeng Valley himself, broke through the Frostwind Barrier, but was unable to find Jiang Wang's body. And all of this had nothing to do with Bai Yu Xia at the moment. He felt lost.

My first act of rebellion in life was to abandon everything and follow my sword across the land. Looking back, my father was gone, and the White Manor of Langya was on the verge of collapse. Realizing there was no hope for me in Yue, I decisively gave up everything and fled to Qi, taking refuge with Jiang Wangfu, whom I believed would surely dominate one side of the world in the future.
But just as the dishes from the Marquis of Wu'an's estate were served and they hadn't even taken two bites, upon looking up, the Marquis of Wu'an was gone.
Could it be that my flaw, like a piece of white jade with a blemish, makes me the infamous lonely star of doom Am I destined to bring misfortune to anyone I encounter
Could a man as powerful and influential as Lian Jiangwang be killed by me He recalled that before meeting him, he had been invincible in his trials. It was only after meeting him that he was hung on Tianmu Peak, left for dead. “Master Bai, what do we do now” Fang Yuanyou asked, his eyes red with tears.
To be honest, even with Bai Yu's flawless nature, she found it hard to accept this outcome at this time.
This is all too sudden.
Although anyone could die behind the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, Jiang Wang was a renowned powerhouse known throughout the land. His fame wasn't limited to the younger generation. In terms of achievements and prestige, he was undoubtedly the number one pride of Great Qi.
Such a man, such a person who created extraordinary history and established brilliant military achievements as a Marquis of Military Merit, actually died in battle on his first day in the demon world. This is simply too ridiculous.
Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.
"What do you think" Bai Yuxia asked as calmly as possible. "I want to stay in Yanlao City, find the mastermind behind this, and avenge the Marquis." Fang Yuyou gritted his teeth and said, "My brothers feel the same way!" He was truly a commoner born, his talents were not outstanding either. It was all thanks to his courage and loyalty that Jiang Wangjian recruited him into the military ranks, allowing him to become the head of the Marquis's guard, soaring to great heights from then on, chatting and laughing with many figures he once could only look up to.

He could say that everything he had today was reliant on Jiang Wang. And today, his roots were severed. How could he not be distressed, how could he not hate
“We can certainly participate in finding out who’s behind this and do our part. But we both need to understand that this is ultimately a matter for those in authority.”
"You're right to stay in Yan Lao City," Bai Yu Xia said thoughtfully. "I agree with you. If we want to see him alive, we need to see him; if we want to know he's dead, we need to see his corpse. Until we see the Marquis, there's still a chance. We should stay here and wait for him. Even if it all comes to nothing in the end, the Marquis has a personal disciple...we must also support him well."
He didn't know that Jiang Wang had another sister. But the most urgent task at hand was to stabilize everything Jiang Wang had built. If Jiang Wang could come back, his foundation would still be there. If he never returned, all the hard work he had dedicated his life to could still continue. The precondition for stabilizing everything was a core figure, a legitimate banner.
And Zhu Yao, as Jiang Wang's direct disciple, was qualified to inherit the title of Marquis Wuan.
Seeing that Yuan You had completely understood, Bai Yu Xia patted him on the shoulder: "Tell the brothers to prepare for battle. Also, immediately send someone back to Linzi to inform Bo Wang Hou. Don't add fuel to the fire, just say what you know. And release a few clever ones to go out and gather information. This matter clearly involves a plot against the Marquis, we can't just listen to what others say."
Fāng Yuán yóu endured the grief and hurriedly left. Bái Yù xiá stood alone in the courtyard, silently gazing at the sky for a moment. Elder Brother Jiāng, if you were in my place, what would you do
One stone creates a thousand waves.
The news of Wuan Marquis's defeat in Frostwind Valley was more than just a pebble dropped into the water; it was like an entire mountain being filled into the sea!
In a very short time, the news spread throughout the demon world's human city. And at a terrifying speed, it began to spread to the mortal realm.
On Jing Guo's side, Chun Yu Gui, in order to prove his innocence, also launched a full investigation at Tie Yan City. Before the night was over, he brought the information gathered from the investigation and personally went to the prison city to report to Xiu Yuan - it was really necessary to avoid strategic misjudgment by Qi Guo.
If Qi truly believed Jing needed to take responsibility for Jiang Wang's fall in the Frostwind Valley, it would mean the balance of power among the great powers controlling the demon realm was shattered. The human pact that had spanned several eras would be disregarded. After that, even on the battlefield in the demon realm, everyone would live in fear.
Therefore, why would Chun Yu Gui, outside the Frostwind Valley, swear by heaven without knowing anything, risking his own reputation to temporarily suppress Ji Zhao Nan's suspicions and prevent Qi from overreacting
This matter is really dangerous.
In the demon realm, a place stained with countless human bloods, secretly attacking prodigies of other nations is the most despicable act imaginable.
To be the one to set this precedent, is to be put on a pillar of shame and bear the eternal scorn of history! To be frank, even before receiving the final results of the investigation, Chunshi himself was quite apprehensive.
Jing Guo was too ancient, too vast, with internal factions too complex. All kinds of political ideologies had supporters. Even the most radical ideas once existed there.
Chun Yu Gui was truly afraid. Was it someone from inside one of the mountains who wanted to act rashly and use such a foolish way to suppress Qi
For example, Zhao Xuan Yang's whereabouts remain unknown to this day. There is no further information about what happened to him.
Can the six people in the Jingtian Mansion have no opinion on Jiang Wang Can they have no hatred for Qi Guo What will they do
Even Lian Chun himself couldn't say for sure what happened. Fortunately, the final investigation results did not tarnish his reputation. At least based on the evidence available, they didn't. The young man who suddenly attacked Jiang Wang in Frostwind Valley was a person from Zhongyu Guardian Nation, named Mei Xue Lin.
He is a descendant of Mei Xingju, a valiant hero from the demon realm. However, when he was born, the Mei family had fallen into disrepair, and Mei Xingju's influence failed to extend to the present day.
He was the only child in his family.
My cultivation level is still low, and I haven't attained any supernatural powers yet. Currently, I have opened three of the five "fǔ" (energy centers in Taoism). My studies focus on Confucian classics, and my revered place of learning is Mount Shushan, the holy mountain of literature.
Her father, Mei Wenshi, had not yet opened the gates of heaven and earth. Her mother, Han Yunmei, was just an ordinary person.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Mei Xue Lin had been diligent and hardworking since he was young, achieving an inner realm at a tender age, which was already rare talent. However, the Mei family did not have enough resources to support him. The country of Wei could also only offer limited help. He came to the demon world to fight, just to earn resources for his progress.
In Tieyan City, Mei Xuelin made many friends. He was mild-tempered and reliable in his dealings with people, earning him a good reputation. In this Frostwind Valley incident, he volunteered to act as a supporter and participated in the rescue operation in Frostwind Valley. He followed Wang Kun's team into Frostwind Valley.
However, Wang Kun was only a temporary leader and didn't know this man. Mei Xue Lin had someone he loved once, who almost became his partner, but that woman died on the battlefield... This is how every detail of Mei Xue Lin's life was laid out before Xiu Yuan.
But this general of the nine legions of the Great Qi Empire, did not even glance at him, only staring intently at Chunyu Gui: "So you have already confirmed that he is indeed a person from the Equal Nation"
“He should have joined the Equal Nation between 1934 and 1935. Because his personality changed drastically at that time.”
Chun Yu Gui Duan sat in the guest chair and earnestly stated, “His three best friends in Tieyan City, as well as over ten people in the current world who are closely related to him, including his parents, teachers, and mentors, have all been controlled. They can be handed over to your country for investigation at any time.” Xiu Yuan remained noncommittal.

Chunyuyu returned, stating, "The power displayed by Meixue Lin is definitely not normal. It should be the body being used by a powerful individual at least of the Dongzhen level. It's very likely one of Zhao Zi, Qian Chou, Sun Yin, or Li Mao."
We tend to favor Zhao Zi because she had a direct confrontation with Marquis Wu'an in Xia.
Of course, it's also possible that a leader of Pingguo personally intervened. However, intentionally suppressing his power, leading us to misjudge his final disintegration as a result of physical collapse, should be the annihilation technique of Pingguo. Jingguo's intelligence capabilities are extraordinary, even capable of grasping the details of the clash between Pingguo and Qi in Xiadi.
But Xiu Yuan simply asked, "Since Mei Xue Lin was borrowed by a certain Dong Zhen, someone of the Dong Zhen level, it is very likely that one of Zhao Zi, Qian Chou, Sun Yin, or Li Mao."
We tend to favor Zhao Zi because she had a direct confrontation with Wu'an Hou in Xiadi.
Of course, it is also possible that a leader from the Equal Nation took personal action. However, they deliberately suppressed their power, leading us to misjudge their ultimate method of disintegration. It should be the Equal Nation's art of annihilation. Jing Guo has extraordinary intelligence capabilities. They can even grasp the details of the clash between the Equal Nation and Qi Nation in Xia land.
But Xiu Yuan merely asked, "Since Mei Xue Lin was borrowed by a powerful Being of the Cave to wield that level of power, why did he still use the Annihilation Art"
Chun Yu Gui pondered for a moment, unsure how to phrase it: "Perhaps it's that Mei Xue Lin's body isn't capable of supporting the use of such a high level of power. Or perhaps it's to conceal their identity"
“He is a man from the Zhongyu domain, his ancestors for eighteen generations are all clearly recorded on your Jing Shi Tai. Since you have already shown your face, why pretend any longer” Xiu Yuan looked at him: “You don't need to pretend to be innocent in front of me.”
Chun Yu Gui said frankly, "What I mean is erasing the traces of destruction. The one who borrowed Mei Xue Lin's body doesn't want people to see his traces when using this body. So destroying the corpse prevents anyone from tracking him."
Then Xiu Yuan asked, "Have you ever witnessed the Art of Obliteration"
>
Chun Yu Gui shook his head. "I have never seen it, only heard of it." Xiu Yuan said, "Then you can't be sure that what you saw was the art of annihilation."
Chun Yu Gui remained silent for a moment, then said: "But I can confirm that Mei Xuelin is indeed from the Equal Nation."
"I don't care how you came to that conclusion." Xiuyan said in a soft voice. "Go back. Tell Pei Xinghe, firstly, this Mei Xuelin is from the Central Region, and secondly, this Mei Xuelin has been frequenting your Jing Guo's Tieyan City for a long time. If you want to clear yourselves, what you've done so far is far from enough."
Pei Xinghe is the commander who slays disasters, and also the current governor of Jingguo's demon world military forces.
The Human race, behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, has always maintained at least three True Monarchs on duty to ensure the safety of Huiming City, the most important human city behind the gate. These three True Monarchs have always come from the Six Hegemon Nations and take turns guarding this place.
The strong from the Der Dao sect only serve as top-tier combat power. In reality, those who truly hold power behind the Wan Yao Gate are still commanders like Xiu Yuan and Pei Xinghe who have military control.
Chun Yu Gui listened intently, then replied calmly and confidently: "I will definitely relay General Xiu's words. We in Jing Guo will certainly cooperate fully with the investigation into Marquis Wu An's misfortune in the Demon Realm. That person who used Mei Xue Lin's body to attack in Shuang Feng Valley must still be in the Demon Realm. Through our joint efforts between Jing and Qi, we will search every inch of land until we find him."
But Chun Yu Gui wanted to tell Xiu Shuai one thing — 'Matters within the borders of Jing Guo, Jing Guo will definitely handle well. Matters outside the borders of Jing Guo, Jing Guo is also willing to cooperate. But Jing Guo is not Qi Guo's enemy, at least not in the demon realm.' Please, Great Marshal, be sure to treat this with caution."
He rose to his feet and bowed to Xiu: "I have said all that I wished. Chun Yu bids you farewell."
It's already dawn.
> At last, the long night has passed.
Watching this young prodigy's black Daoist robe swirling in the morning light, Xiu Yuan sat calmly behind his military desk, saying nothing.
Jing Guo Chun Yu Gui, naturally lives up to the name of a heaven's pride.
But Qi Guo has the more promising future of Jiang Wu. It's a pity that he has already fallen unexpectedly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As for whether the mastermind behind this could be found quickly, Xiu Yuan didn't have high hopes.
Pingguo currently has the greatest suspicion, but Jingguo isn't necessarily completely innocent. Even other countries, can they be trusted Thinking even darker, it's possible that the trouble originated within Qi itself.
Jiang Wang was a young man who had been granted the title of Marquis and achieved fame throughout the land. His success drew envy from many. He had intended to transfer this young military marquis under his command, personally looking after him, but before he could act, disaster struck.
That mastermind could think of using Mei Xue Lin's body, and could think of lurking in the Frostwind Valley to make a move. How could he not have made any preparations for his retreat He arranged defenses as quickly as possible and rushed to Yanlao City, which had already taken up most of the night – this amount of time was enough for a real person to escape far away.
And they haven't been able to pinpoint the real identity of their target yet. Mei Xuelin is just a minor character, insignificant.
Having studied Confucianism, he hailed from a vassal state in the Central Plains and wandered around Tieyan City before secretly joining Pingguo. He was labeled with so many tags, it was dizzying, making one wonder who to suspect. But none of this truly mattered. For he was merely a minor character, completely devoid of autonomy before an existence possessing profound insight. "Who could it be"

Xiu Yuan stood there quietly, lost in thought.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
But in the next moment, he suddenly stood up.
Because he felt a powerful, world-shaking aura suddenly descend upon him!
The deputy gate of the Ten Thousand Demons' Gate in Qi Nation is permanently located underground in Jichuan City. However, on the demon realm side, the exit is not fixed and randomly appears near Yanlao City – this is to increase the difficulty of being targeted and prevent it from becoming an entrance for demons to counterattack the mortal world.
At this moment, the descending aura completely enveloped the entire Yanlao City area. It surged and rose, causing the golden sun hanging high in the demonic realm sky to dim somewhat!
Then the heavens unleashed thunder, and a celestial drum resonated. Within the distant city of Suiming, at the heartland of humanity, three powerful auras erupted, shaking all directions.
