Chapter 58: All Under Heaven
ce..." Bai Lian was stunned: "For me...boiled""Uh," Jiang Wang felt a little embarrassed. "When I was a child, my family sold medicinal herbs, so I could tell the difference between herbs and wild veg...At the dinner table, Grandpa Ge drank glass after glass of wine, his face dark with gloom.
A young, unknown cultivator dared to confront him. Although Lord Ge Heng didn't lash out at the time, he was secretly resentful in his heart.
Hu Guanshi was carefully flattering him from the side.
When the wine was half-drunk, Ge Heng suddenly thought of something. He squinted his eyes and glanced at a unopened jar of wine beside him.
"Is this drink for that boy"
"If you want to drink it, just open the seal." Hu Guan sighed inwardly, cursing his luck. This jar of wine cost twenty taels of silver! He forced a smile and replied, "I'll buy another one later."
"No." Ge Heng suddenly smiled, his hand enveloped in green energy, and he patted the outside of the wine jar: "Just this one, it's quite good."
"Master Hu was astounded: 'Master Ge, this cannot be done!' "
Ge Heng retracted his smile, turned his head to look at him, his eyes cold: "What's wrong"
Hu Guan, in charge of affairs, broke out in a cold sweat, but still mustered the courage to say: "That's a master cultivator. If something truly happened, none of us could escape blame."
Although Yang Guo's country is small, it is still a nation with its own laws and regulations.
Just like his surname Ge, although he often beat the maidservants, he would never actually kill anyone.
He would kill indiscriminately unless he had some background that could be easily covered up. Or he didn't want this stable job anymore.
"What are you afraid of He's just a nameless wild cultivator. Who would even investigate" Ge Heng retorted, "Besides, I'm not going to kill him. Just give him a lesson. To teach him some humility!"
“Really...won’t anyone die” Hu Guan shi trembled.
This is a simple example of how HTML tags are not translated.
"What would I lie to you for" Ge Heng said, then comforted her, "Don't worry, no one will ever find out! The methods of the Aoki Immortal Sect are not something ordinary people can discover."
In the shadowy mountain path, a figure dashed quickly.
“This is the territory governed by the Twin Dragons Society. Who are you”
In the darkness, a voice suddenly rang out.
The Shuangjiao sect is a local sect in the Mo country, subject to the rule of the Mo court but with a certain degree of autonomy. Among all the sects in Mo country, its strength is not weak.
Here is already within the outer region of the Double Jiao Society, at this time, the voice sounded, it should be a patrolling cultivator of the Double Jiao Society.
Out of the throng, a voice suddenly responded, "I am a disciple of the Qinghe County Daoist Temple from Zhuang State. I am here on official business to apprehend the White Bone murderer. Please make way!"
The voice of the mountain-watching cultivator belonging to the Dual Jiao Society in the darkness fell silent.
Normally, the Double Jiao wouldn't have given this much face.
For many years, the countries of Mo and Guo have been in conflict, but neither has ever gained a decisive advantage.
Only now...
Emperor Zhuang ascended the throne, and there were also two great figures present: Du Ruhui, the prime minister, and General Huangfu Duanming. With a powerful army at their disposal, they exerted pressure over all directions. This was indeed a time when their sharp edges were fully displayed.
Throughout the State of Zhuang, voices grew louder, demanding a position commensurate with their power. War was undoubtedly the most direct way to achieve this.
The imperial court of Mo Guo consistently shied away from national affairs, precisely to avoid giving a reason like this to the state of Zhuang.
Since it's the Daoist disciples who are tasked with apprehending the heretical White Bone Dao, the Shuangjiao Guild could easily turn a blind eye. The Spirit Tablet outside Fenglin City has long been known to all.
The cultivators of Qinghe County's Daoist Academy were unsurprised and swiftly dispersed. They had already destroyed a small outpost of the Bai Gu Dao today, pursuing the last few disciples here in hopes of earning a full Dao merit.
The hatred between the Zhuang Kingdom and the White Bone Dao has been a long-standing one, dating back over two centuries. More than two hundred years ago, a catastrophe was unleashed by the White Bone Dao. Back then, the founding ancestor of the Zhuang Kingdom, Zhuang Chengqian, mobilized the entire nation's strength to completely eradicate the White Bone Dao.
After that, the Bai Gu Dao's power revived but only in small skirmishes, continually harassing until last year when the event of Feng Lin City's destruction shook the entire nation.

But only today, they were so arrogant, daring to publicly pursue a criminal on the territory of a foreign country.

A nation grows strong, then they can speak with such righteous indignation.
The cultivators of Qinghe County Daoist Academy dispersed their formation, flanking and encircling them, intending to wipe out the pursuing White Bone Daoists here—they could not venture any further, lest they provoke a backlash from the Twin Dragons Society.
As for Li Jianqiu, who issued the command, it was enough to explore the situation around the Double Jiao Society.

As the most outstanding cultivator of this year's Qinghe County Daoist Academy, he was indeed entrusted with such a secret mission. Those white-bone Taoists were allowed to flee all the way here under his deliberate indulgence.
>
To ensure secrecy, the other cultivators present were unaware of this matter. They were still immersed in the pride of their nation's strength and filled with hatred due to the destruction of our Fenglin City region.
Li Jianqiu didn't know how many people shared his secret mission, but he was sure he wasn't the only one.

The country of Zhuang has slept for many years, and now it has woken up, its stomach growling with hunger. It wants to eat meat.
Looking around at the surrounding nations, Yongguo was certainly the toughest nut to crack, and Mo Guo wasn't necessarily easy to swallow either. But the high-ranking officials of Zhuang Guo clearly already had a target in mind.
In the present world, numerous countries have emerged, with various sects and factions flourishing. Their influence intertwines, creating a complex web of power struggles.

> Zhuang and Yong were ancient enemies. Yong was powerful, while Zhuang was weak. However, Zhuang had the support of Taoist practitioners, which allowed them to maintain their national fortune for a long time.

In the world, the strongest nation among all countries is naturally Jingguo, the overlord of Zhongyu. To be specific, Jingguo bases its power on Taoism and has three major lineages working together. Zhuangguo, however, belongs to the Yu Jingshan lineage…
And so on, the list goes on.
In such a complex world situation, national warfare is not a trivial matter and should not be viewed solely from the present perspective. One who fails to consider the overall picture is insufficient to plan even for a single region.
What Li Jianqiu did was just a tiny part of the long preparation.
While the assigned tasks should naturally be completed, for Li Jianqiu himself, eradicating the Bai Gu Dao was what mattered most.
Maple Forest City, is his hometown.
In his younger years, he had been solitary because of the incident at Shupin Peak. However, after last year's campaign to retake Shupin Peak, he had let go of his past hurt. He began to accept others, like Jiang Wang, Zhao Rucheng, and Huang Azhan.
...and his parents and family...
It's all gone.
They're all gone.
If one had to describe this feeling, it would be like the grief and agony he felt when he fled from Shuping Peak and wept bitterly on the official road.
...but it surpasses that even more.
Then he was alone, now he is even more alone.
He was a stray dog back then, now...

He even felt like he had deserted his post again. When disaster struck in the Fenglin City domain, he took refuge in the Qinghe County Academy. When his family, friends, fellow disciples, and elders needed him, he wasn't there.
...will never be there again.
This is a foreign land, and night has fallen.
Li Jianqiu had already given the order to eliminate those scurrying rats, so his pace slowed. These few lackeys didn't need him to take action personally.
He suddenly stopped, gripping the hilt of his sword.
It was very quiet all around. Nighttime is always quiet.
But it was too quiet.
He could no longer hear the breathing of his fellow disciples, nor feel their heartbeats.
This tag is closing a paragraph.
Even the barely perceptible presence of the Shuangjiao, a warning to those outsiders like them - disappeared.
In the darkness, Li Jianqiu's gaze fell upon a tall and imposing figure carrying a large ring-shaped blade.
"You people from the Zhuang Kingdom are really something else! You're clueless about your own mortality!"
He tossed the head in his hand, it rolled around a few times and landed right in front of Li Jianqiu.
This is a pretty young woman, the junior sister of this year in the county magistrate's academy.
Li Jianqiu shifted his gaze from her lifeless, horrified expression to the tall figure emerging from the darkness.
He reeked of fury, his face covered... with a tiger bone mask.
