Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eternal Death
Rizhao County!At this moment, on the grounds of the Treasure Pavilion Merchant Association, things are escalating. The only ones who will suffer losses are our own people. But showing weakness is abso...In order to erase his tracks, King Biancheng had deliberately suppressed his power, making himself a guide for emotions rather than a manipulator. He merely threw in a spark of emotion into the boiling pot of anxiety that was constantly spreading. And within that churning inferno, a blazing wildfire erupted.
Otherwise, with his current power, a single confrontation would drive these people mad with jealousy and rage.
The emotion of chaos, after it occurred, already had the ability to self-propagate.
Under Wang Bu's silent guidance, the chaos spread like wildfire through dry grass, becoming impossible to contain!
On the warship representing Chiwu's naval force, the officer also grew enraged. Wen Shi drew his sword and roared: "Stand! Stand still! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!!"
The soldiers on the warship moved according to orders, raising their swords and nocking arrows, threatening them with death to hold back these people who were blinded by rage.
"The situation isn't right..." Wu Minjun remained calm and called out loudly, "Everyone, please remain calm and trust the imperial court! What we face now are not major issues. The losses can be compensated, and the deadlines can be extended. All problems can be resolved properly!"
"Minjun is right!" Qin Changtu chimed in, his voice echoing through the room. "Everyone, please calm down and listen to what Minjun has to say!"
Xiao Lin's eyes twitched, jealousy burning within him, but he had no reason to lash out at them. After all, he remembered his current identity. Leaping from the boat like an eagle seizing its prey, he grabbed a man who was already out of control and shouting, gripping his neck and hoisting him high: "Let's see who dares to cause trouble now!"
But he didn't notice that the man whose neck he was clutching had a flash of green light in his eyes, his body suddenly stiffened, and then fell like a broken sack.
According to King Qin Guang's usual practice, this person should have been dead by now. Considering that King Bian Cheng was present, he was only in a deep coma. However, in this situation, it made no difference whether this person was alive or dead.
"Someone's been killed!" someone shouted in alarm.
...Fear erupted within him instantly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The warship's sailors were overly tense, and in fright they instinctively pulled back their alarm bows. This triggered a violent chain reaction, causing other soldiers to instinctively follow suit and fire their crossbows. The entire warship was then filled with arrows flying like locusts, clearing the lake path and leaving everyone bewildered, causing screams to erupt!
King Biancheng raised his foot and kicked Wang Duanfei, the eunuch who was merrily awaiting the corpses of those killed in the rebellion. He transmitted a command: "Save people, if you expose yourself, I will kill you."
At noon, Wang Meng suddenly surged into the air, his hands outstretched, welcoming the arrows with his body. He glared fiercely at the fleet of water soldiers, roaring in a harsh voice: "You, you are evil! Why do you kill!"
The barrage of arrows shifted because of him, falling into the lake one after another.
But his bravery and kindness inspired many people.
These soldiers have gone crazy, they want to exterminate us! Disarm them first!
"The Chiwu water army has been taken over by bandits! Brothers, we either fight or die. Follow me!"
A Sound-Hearing Immortal can recreate any sound. In the chaos, no one knows who is shouting, only that emotions are growing increasingly intense!
Even the officer on the warship heard the anxious voices of his own men one by one, "Captain, we can't hold this here! Send a message to Shuiguan and ask for more reinforcements!"
He listened and agreed, raising his hand and firing an arrow into the sky!
At this time, Chongluan Lake was in complete chaos.
The ships, which were originally withdrawing in an orderly fashion, all turned around and crowded towards Chiwu Water Gate. The only naval warship there was battered from side to side, unable to control the situation at all.
Wu Minjun, seizing the opportunity, flew upwards, wanting to take responsibility and suppress the chaos.
But a hand on her shoulder made her look up, and she saw the face that made her heart race. Qin Guang Wang's voice was gentle yet firm: "Min Jun, your identities are too sensitive; it's not convenient for you to participate in such gatherings."
"First, take everyone to Shui Guan to hide for a while. I'll handle things here."
"How could this be" Given her noble background, in such a turbulent situation, if not handled properly, it was indeed easy for people to take advantage. But Wu Minjun still showed great responsibility: "We cultivate and study the Tao, are we supposed to avoid troubles and shirk responsibilities"
Qin Guang Wang smiled at her. "Listen well,"
With a slight push of his hand, he guided her back onto the boat. He himself leaped aside, pulling up those who had fallen into the water one by one. For this one, he shielded them from arrows, for that one, he blocked swords. All the while, he kept urging them, "Stop fighting, stop fighting! Is there anything that can't be resolved through peaceful discussion"

But somehow, the more he did, the more chaotic things became.
Wu Minjun was completely defeated by this smile, standing on the deck for a moment, unaware of what day it was. The noise and the chaotic crowd seemed to be far away. Her thoughts were light and airy, as if floating among the clouds.
A female student beside him spoke with admiration: "Black Mountain's student, truly a role model for us all!"
She glanced at King Biancheng, who stood silently at the bow of the boat. In her heart, she thought, besides this frightened Xiao Linzheng, one had to admit that Zhang Wang was right. These disciples of Zhúxuéshe were either wealthy or noble, with promising futures and sensitive identities. With the situation in Chongluan Lake so chaotic, they were indeed unsuitable for further involvement. One careless slip could lead them into turmoil; returning to their families would be disastrous.
Although I don't really like this show-off, I still decided to head towards Shuiguan, avoiding the trouble here.

The warships cut through the lake, and in no time, several parallel ships came into view. The decks were lined with soldiers, their weapons gleaming coldly.
The leading general was about to rebuke, but Xiao Linzheng was too lazy to waste any more words. He flew forward directly, taking out an identity plaque and showing it to him: “Recognize this” “Illuminating all directions, mirroring the world,” I have secretly joined the Mirror World Stage and it is inconvenient to involve myself in the situation here. First, I need to temporarily avoid trouble at Shui Guan. Moreover, I am Pei Hongjiu's cousin, that one is Wu Jiangchen's cousin, and that one is from the Chengtian Mansion... You yourselves have handled things well, don’t give us trouble, understand”
The general wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, "I understand, I understand!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The warships immediately allowed the ship laden with young scholars to pass.
Zhang Chengqian, the Black Mountain scholar who had been silent on the boat, suddenly said, "My two senior brothers are still there!"
Xiao Linzheng continued, "This arrival is suspicious. I suspect there are demons and heretics among those merchant ships. There's one who claims to be going to Longmen Academy to take the exam, especially suspect. You must carefully screen them. If necessary, I will report to my Yongyong."
This man is Pei Hongjiu's cousin, so his valiant sword... that's the Calamity Commander Pei Xinghe!
The Red Grove Water Army general stood solemnly and, on the spot, took off a waist token from Xiao Lin Zheng. "All of you will be pillars of the state in the future. It's inappropriate for you to get involved here. Go to Shuiguan to recuperate first. My name is Ma Bao hua, I'll handle things here."
Xiao Linzheng took the waist card and patted his arm, indicating that he remembered the name.
At this time, Wu Minjun emphasized again: "There are two students from the Heishan Academy over there, helping to suppress the situation. You should not harm them."
"Understood," Xiao Linzheng said, "There are two members from the Heishan Academy who came with us. I have arranged for them to help stabilize the situation there. General, please be careful and avoid harming innocent people."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"As expected of someone from a prestigious family, you're truly brilliant and considerate!" Ma Bao Hua was deeply impressed:
"Before I go, please allow me to consult with you again regarding the current situation!"
Five warships immediately rushed to the waters where the incident occurred. Qin Guang Wang and Wu Guan Wang, who had already received notice, almost simultaneously flew away from the chaotic crowd and welcomed the royal army.
Qin Guangwang's face was full of regret: "Zhang Wang is incompetent and unable to properly mediate the situation. Now, I will have to trouble the General!"
Ma Bao-hua glanced at them and waved his hand, saying, "You've worked hard. Go rest first. I'll take care of this here."
Standing above the lake road, a fleet of warships passed by, exuding an imposing aura. General Wang couldn't help but sigh with admiration: "The people of Jingguo truly embody diligence and duty!"
To stir up chaos before the Red Wu Water Pass is a dangerous thing, it would surely attract the attention of the Mirror Platform and inevitably leave them vulnerable to being tracked. But they couldn't possibly wait here for three days, nor could they withstand scrutiny. Before the King of Bian City took action, he had even prepared to forcibly break through the pass. With his status as a Duke and allied with two other Yama Kings, breaking through the Red Wu Water Pass would be no easy feat. This isn't some world-shaking pass, at its peak there's only a God guarding it. Who could possibly hold them back here
Only after escaping Jing Guo could he truly feel the vastness of the world, with enough room to maneuver. At that time, no matter how Mirror Stage pursued him, or how other Hell Kings acted, with so many under his command, he wouldn't end up dying too miserably. But what he hadn't expected was the tacit understanding between Bian Cheng Wang and Qin Guang Wang, and how Xiao Lin Zheng and Wu Min Jun cooperated so well. They actually managed to get through it like this.
This tacit understanding between only Bian Cheng Wang and Qin Guang Wang made Shu Shi feel a bit uneasy with this borrowed heart of his. As the veteran member of the organization, shouldn't they treat him better Why were they being so distant towards him
Isn't it great to have a friend who can always help you with your tasks
Qin Guang Wang, however, didn't have that much emotion. He gracefully went towards the Chi Wu Shui Guan.
He walked so lightly, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that after he passed, all traces of the Black Mountain Three Scholars vanished. They had each "lost their mind" and "destroyed themselves."
This application of the art is close to Tao.
This assassination attempt in Jing Guo, from the moment You Que Dongzhen was involved, took on a different nature. Escaping Jing Guo was no longer the biggest challenge; facing that mysterious client and You Que's pursuit would be the focus going forward.
But at this moment, what he was more curious about was, if his and King Biancheng's judgment was correct, how would You Que plan to leave Could he really die forever
You Que did not leave.
In the abandoned Yu family ancestral home in Taiping City, coffins were stacked high. Yu Que's corpse lay within one of them. Although the once-famous Yu family of Fengtian had met a tragic end with the extermination of their entire lineage, formally declaring that the fortune bestowed by their ancestors was exhausted.
But not so short as to leave a coffin board missing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Several members of the Yu family, who had been seeking a living in Guanjing City, hurried back to their hometown. They sought comfort, begged for mercy, requested compensation, and demanded justice... as well as making arrangements for the funeral. The first few matters were so important that the last one was postponed again and again. Lingzhu therefore stayed in the courtyard, putting it off time after time.
Anyway, no one will live there again. The ones who are still in charge of the You family now are You Shilang's three older brothers, You Shixiong, You Shijie, and You Shiying, of course. It's neither Shixiong nor Shijie nor Shiying.
When the family's circumstances couldn't keep up, and with the youngest born, there was no choice but to "give way."
The deeds for the properties in Tai Ping City had already been registered. Lou Junlan, who could represent the residents of Yingguan Building, also came to see them in person and paid special attention to You Qinwei and You Que. With the arrival of people from Jing Shitai, an esteemed real-world expert surnamed Xing, known for his experience in criminal investigations, also came to Tianjing City. All the investigation results were consistent.
You Que was indeed dead. Everyone else in the You family, including You Qinwei, had also died thoroughly. The culprit remained unseen, and it wasn't necessarily from Hell's Unending Gate. But it was certainly the same person. The entire You family perished under the same sword qi - all matching the sword that pierced You Que's vital point exactly.
From then on, the name of King Bian was known throughout the world.
It's getting late.
The You family ancestral home,
a dense labyrinth of coffins, grew ever more ominous. The You brothers' hired caretaker, an old man, was fast asleep in the room. A man with a black face mask crafting a dog skin hat sauntered into the courtyard with unbridled familiarity. Only a pair of still-warm eyes peeked out from behind it.
One hundred and thirty-seven coffins, laid out across several courtyards.
This person came and went back many times before finally stopping in front of a coffin that was relatively well-made—after all, he was the sworn brother of the three Yu brothers. Even if they were distant during his lifetime, at least he could receive some preferential treatment after death.
Here we go.
Goupi Mao cupped his fingers and politely tapped on the coffin lid: "Hello, is anyone there"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Soon, the coffin lid creaked open and the pale-faced You Que sat up.
>
He glanced at the dog-skin hat faintly: "Chu Xu"
"Cheers!" The suppressed voice couldn't hide the Dogskin Cap's enthusiasm: "Originally, Wu should have come because he hates Yi Zhen Dao more. But he hates it too much... So I came to greet you instead."
You Que nodded, not pointing to any location. He slowly raised his right hand and with his index and middle finger, tapped on his brow. "This body has been dead for several days," he said calmly. "I need some time to replenish my life essence."
"You go about your business." Chu Xu sat beside the coffin, quite contentedly bathing in the moonlight.
But he wasn't a man who could sit idly by, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, you're one of us too. Being the leader of the Yellow River is quite an honor! We met another leader of the Yellow River last time, oh my, he was arrogant!"
When it comes to the leading figures of the Yellow River, they are treasures of each country. Take Jiang Wang as an example; he has already been enfeoffed with a marquisate, and his military achievements among the younger generation can be considered unparalleled in the world... Why is it that your futures are all so bright, yet you leave so quickly
May I ask this question
"Maybe he's an idealistic person too." You Que said calmly.
This is what you requested:
Let me know if I can help with anything else!
Chu Xu was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Zhao Zi said that Jiang Wang left Qi because there were things he couldn't do in his position in Qi."
"There's just so much you can't do in that position," You Que said, his tone remarkably calm. "The national system is designed this way, it grinds down everyone's individuality. Your occasional whims, your sharp edges, all have to exist within the highest will's permission. And they declare your death as 'maturity.'"
Chu Cheng didn't continue the topic and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, wasn't the risk too high when you chose to leave Jing Guo in this way"
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
You Que said in a low voice, "Having done such a great deed, he was still captured and left traces, causing the suspicion of the true Dao. I can't die anymore."
>
"throat." Chu Xu sighed, "These past few days I've been on edge, afraid your feigned death would be discovered. I heard that the emperor even sent a real person to check on you."
My method of attaining longevity, the root principle is beyond comprehension for ordinary people. Even those who have the potential to see through it would be no more than ten individuals. In You Que's calm voice, there lies a profound sense of self-assurance: "Among those ten, Sang Xian Shou is not included."
Sān Xiānshòu is the very same real person who came to observe Yóuqū's corpse. He is a master of criminal justice, having spent years interacting with the dead.
is a terrifying figure within the central prison. Unless instructed by Jing Guanzi, he would never act lightly. "What if someone from above came down here" Chu Xu asked.
Who is You Que A waste of a man who lived in isolation for twenty-four years. What is the You family A fallen family that can only reminisce about its past glory.
The death of You Que and the destruction of the You family brought forth an unprecedented level of observation from the real people. This was largely thanks to Guan Zi's lingering feelings of old affection. As for those above Dong Zhen...
"Whoever comes to see me is a true man." You Que said faintly, "I'm afraid of being exposed, aren't they"
>Wang shook his head: "But I really don't have much to say, and I don't want to earn a condition from you for nothing."“A thousand gold coins can’t buy my happiness.” Lin Youxie smiled cheerfully: “I'm...
