Chapter Seventeen: Who has no grievances?

"My name is this."

Zhang Linchuan smiled, "Dun [person's name], a good person. Thick-minded, sincere. Not bad of a name."

Tang Dun scratched his head, “When I was a child, the teacher gave it to me.”

"Oh" Zhang Linchuan asked.

"Our Tangshe Town is poor, and we can't afford even a small sum for tuition. There aren't many hunter families here who care about literacy anyway. It was only when the teacher came to study here that he stayed and taught us for three years. But after three years, he left again to travel. He liked me best back then, saying I was something like jade."

Thus, it all makes sense.

The custom of traveling abroad to study was highly regarded by people at the time, and disciples from all schools had it.

As Confucian disciples believe in reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, many traveled extensively. Some did so to broaden their horizons, while others went around selling themselves.

For example, disciples of the Mo School traveled all over the world and experienced everything firsthand. However, if they encountered Tang Dun, they might be taught more martial arts, even some rudimentary mechanisms, instead of reading and writing.

Although the Zhuang Kingdom took Taoism as its state religion, it was not overly hostile to disciples of other schools. Tang Dun's experience would certainly pose no problem.

"Since you've still been to school, it would be a waste to stay here as a small constable. After settling the girl's affairs, if you have no ties, you can try taking the exam for the outer gate of the city Dao Institute."

This shows that he sees the person's simplicity and has some appreciation for talent, but ultimately it is still up to Tang Dun himself to make his own choice.

Out of Tangshe Town, heading south along the official road is the way back to Fenglin City.

Because of the relationship between corresponding array patterns and engravings, official roads became deserted and no beasts were seen on the plains.

Ma Ti did not rush. Upon the horse's back, Zhang Linchuan's voice was neither hurried nor slow: "Do you know how many resources the court has to pour into maintaining all the official roads within the entire Zhuang Nation every year"

Jiang Wang shook his head; he didn't really know anything about these things.

"That's a astronomical figure," Zhang Linchuan said. "And these formations can only repel low-level monsters. Those powerful demons and beasts still require strong individuals to clear them. The court invests enormous manpower and resources every year to maintain smooth passage throughout the land. They even pour resources into the Daoist academies without counting the cost, and all we can do is grow as quickly as possible to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

"I see."

“Then I’ll ask you again, there is a large army protecting the city. Why doesn’t the imperial court allow everyone to live in the city”

"I think there are two reasons for this," Jiang Wang pondered for a moment before saying, "First, even large cities have their limits and cannot meet the survival needs of everyone. Second, each city's sphere of influence is limited. The court needs these official roads to extend in all directions, using towns as nodes, because this represents the actual territory. And land, after all, is resources."

"You see things very clearly. The formations in the towns and villages are not as secure as those in a large city, but they have their own irreplaceable value. Just like Tangshe Town, as long as it exists, Fenglin City can harvest resources from the Qichang Mountains endlessly. Once one day Tangshe Town is gone, the Qichang Mountains will have nothing to do with our Zhuang country."

The people of Tangshe Town dare to hunt in the Qichang Mountains, they must certainly have experts. That demon was lurking when the Jixing Si went, and there was no other movement when we didn't go. But it happened to attack when we arrived...

Saying this, Zhang Linchuan turned his head, looking at Jiang Wang with a half-smile: "Junior Brother Jiang, do you have anything on you that might attract them"

Jiang Wang cannot answer.

Of course, he had secrets, but they were limited to the phantom key inherited from Zuo Guanglie. All the changes happened in the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness. It should have gone unnoticed in reality. But if we disregard that, his first attack by a demon seems to have occurred after he entered the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness.

He was weighing his words, trying to find a way to talk his way out of it, when Zhang Linchuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Wang. He extended his index, middle, and ring fingers while keeping his thumb and pinky tucked in.

And the arc leaped from the raised three fingertips, converging into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Jiang Wang!

Jiang Wang didn't even have time to react before the bolt of lightning whizzed past his ear, striking a poison arrow dyed in emerald green and shattering it to the ground.

Only then did Jiang Wang hear the shrill whistle of the poisoned arrow as it suddenly accelerated, and smell the burnt stench of hair scorched by lightning at the tip of his nose.

"I've been waiting for you!" Zhang Linchuan leaped from his horse, his empty right hand raised in a bizarre pinching gesture. A bolt of lightning whipped into existence.

"Come die with me!"

He rode with the lightning whip, a hawk diving at its prey, charging towards the attacker hidden in the woods on the left side of the official road.

It turned out he had been prepared in advance and was multitasking, secretly reciting incantations to prepare two spells beforehand. This allowed him to retaliate the moment the attack occurred.

Jiang Wang is still far behind his senior brothers who have been through so many battles.

At this time, a voice rang out from the right side of the forest, "Good idea! Retreat separately!"

Just as Jiang Wang was about to catch up with Zhang Linchuan, he suddenly turned back!

How could he not hear that voice In the little girl's room in Tangshe Town, even just a few words were enough to etch themselves onto his heart!

Within the Heavenly Palace, a Dao Yuan silent explosion erupted. Jiang Wang, like a frantic beast, charged towards the direction from which the sound came with the most resolute posture.

In Zhuang Guo, almost every commoner remembers the first thing to do before going out - to stay on the official road.

Because outside the range of radiation from human settlements and official roads, all belongs to wilderness. That is the territory where beasts, demons, and even ferocious beasts are active.

Zhang Linchuan was strong enough, so he didn't care.

Jiang Wang wanted to kill someone, so he didn't care.

He had never, ever, ever been this angry before. Fang Pengju's betrayal was hateful, but it was understandable. But that little girl, she was so young, so innocent!

Jiang Wang's sword trembled in its scabbard. It seemed to be getting excited, as if it already knew that it was about to unleash the most brilliant light of its life.

A sword honed for ten years, its blade chilled by frost, never tested. Today, I show it to you, who among you has grievances

Here we go!

The moment the longsword leaped out, it collided with its scabbard as many as five times before finally being drawn.

The sword is like a meteor, and the man is like a dragon.

A giant tree groaned as it fell, and the left-path demon hiding within it leaped to safety.

In his haste, I couldn't make out his features, only the ashen pallor of his face visible beneath his disheveled hair.

Within the Heavenly Palace, Dao Yuan one by one exploded.

Jiang Wang had never spent so lavishly before, he felt a surge of power throughout his body.

Before condensing the Dao vortex, every prodigal expenditure of a Dao Yuan is a step backward in one's cultivation.

He disregarded all talk of longevity and a bright future.

He wanted to slay this demon, so that the pent-up anger would have an outlet, and so that he could find peace of mind.

The Purple Qi Eastern Arrival Sword, its second form, carries a wave of frost light.

The pale-faced demon man, retreating as he was, couldn't have time to cast his incantation. His right arm rapidly swelled, muscles bulging, veins throbbing, and with a sudden punch, he slammed it towards the frost light.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I'm happy to help.

The sword clashed with the demonic right arm more than ten times in an instant.

Jiang Wang only then suddenly woke up, realizing his judgment was wrong! This opponent was very strong! At least much stronger than him. He was far from what he had thought before, just relying on his arrangements, and only slightly stronger in terms of cultivation.

In other words, if this white-faced demon had unleashed its full power when attacking in Tangshe Town, it would be difficult for Jiang Wang to guarantee that he could have survived at the time.

But Jiang Wang made no retreat, his long sword trembled again, a sharp whistle rising.

Purple Qi Arrives from the East Sword Decision, Third Style!

The demonized right arm was severed and flew away!

Damn it!!

The pale demon roared, he hadn't expected that with a slight lapse in attention, he would be driven to the brink of death by this desperate youth.

His back foot slammed into a large tree as he was flying backwards. He knew that if he retreated any further, it would be death. Life comes from the struggle itself.

From the point where his foot touched, the entire tree withered instantly.

And from his roaring mouth, gray mist billowed out, carrying with it an intensely pungent stench and a nauseatingly foul odor.

To manipulate the power of life and death, this is the art of Yin-Yang!

Sword light surged.

Dao Yuan activated his sword light, the sword light cleaving through the gray mist. Jiang Wang leaped out from within the gray mist!

The demon escaped from Tangshe Town, leaving him helpless and unprepared.

At least at this moment, he had to give an explanation to the little girl named Niuer!

This is the responsibility of a cultivator towards ordinary people.

This is an adult's responsibility towards a child!

Jiang Wang leapt into the air, his figure breaking through the gray mist and appearing before the White-Faced Demon.

And in his eyes, which were widening with terror, a brilliant sword light flashed down from above.

That was the last light he saw before eternal darkness.to translate!Even this chance to "be put in a box," wasn't something she fought for herself...“The Imperial Decree states, ‘National Scholars should not be treated lightly.’ Lin Kuang is posthumously...
