Chapter 107: Illness

were indeed considerable. However, what lingered in Jiang Wang's heart was not joy, but the words spoken after surviving the Hai Po disaster: "The sun has extinguished."Even the eternally burning, inf..."How could the news of Ji Yan Yue's death reach Jing Guo so quickly" Chu Jiang Wang said, "I thought that after Ji Yan Yue disappeared, they would have to secretly investigate for a period of time before reaching a conclusion. After all, Ji Yan Yue seemed to be carrying out a very secret mission, and the Mirror World Stage wouldn't find it convenient to openly investigate..."

"I leaked it." Yin Guan said lightly.

King Chujiang was taken aback: "Why You just achieved a breakthrough, so you wouldn't need to seek another one in the short term, would you"

Yin Guan didn't answer but asked back, "You say, for the Jing Guo court, is the knife that killed Ji Yan Yue more important, or the internal organization within Jing Guo that had information about Ji Yan Yue and wanted her dead more important"

King Chujiang understood: "That depends on which will the court of Jing Guo implements."

Yin Guan casually extinguished the black worms in the blood with a brush of emerald light, erasing any possible traces: "Jing Guo is vast, this is where our danger lies. Jing Guo is complex, this is where our escape lies."

King Chujiang mused, "But capturing the assassin and uncovering the organization that provided him with intelligence seem to be the same thing for present-day Jing Guo"

"Therefore, we need to separate this matter." Yin Guan said lightly. "Our new Song emperor is a cunning man. He's adept at political maneuvering and distrustful of everyone. Through his own private investigations, he has delved into the organization's secrets and obtained some client data. Among them happens to be the client who placed the order to buy Ji Yan Yue's life—an act that tarnishes the organization's reputation. I will not condone such behavior and must curse him."

King Chujiang fell silent for a moment: "Will the Emperor of Song be captured"

Yin Guan only said: "I barely escaped with my life, why should he be any different"

"Then all of his information must have already been acquired by the State of Jing," Chu Jiang Wang said.

Yin Guandao: "With the capabilities of the Central Heavenly Prison, this shouldn't take too long."

King Chu Jiang said, "The client probably won't leave any useful information here."

"The royal family of Jingguo isn't stupid. They definitely have their own ideas about the clients. Song Huangdi's information simply confirms their thoughts and bolsters their resolve." Yin Guan said leisurely, "Furthermore, besides the client data from within the organization, Song Huangdi also unexpectedly obtained some other intel."

“They... that’s not an organization you can easily touch.” King Chujiang listened, his heart pounding: “Where did this information come from”

Yin Guandao: "A flying dragon was once seen in the human world."

One True Dao, You Que, Ji Yan Yue... The entire incident had thus come full circle. Although Qin Guangwang walked on the edge of a blade, he didn't act recklessly. He was well-prepared.

King Chu Jiang was astonished: "Are you still in contact with You Que"

"In our line of work, we don't have the luxury of being picky about clients. We do business with anyone." Yin Gu said calmly, "It's just that Song Emperor happened to represent Hell's Gate and made contact with the organization behind You Que once."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Does the Song emperor know Yu Que’s current identity” Chu Jiang Wang asked.

Yin Guandao: "That depends on whether You Que is willing to let him know."

After knowing who the client is, what will Jingguo do

“That depends on how important what Ji Yan Yue is doing is. The importance of it will determine how much energy the Central Heavenly Prison can still spare to capture us.”

King Chu Jiang pondered seriously: “The Divine Lightning is imminent, everything must make way for the Ten Thousand Realms War. Jing Guo may not have the courage to cut out the tumor and harm its own foundation.”

“No matter how the Emperor decides.” Yin Guan said slowly, “Such a deeply rooted and ancient empire, even if it merely hesitates for a moment, dozes off, that’s enough space for us.”

Chu Jiang Wang still couldn't shake off his worries: "But Jing Guo is so powerful, even if they only divert a tiny bit of their energy and pay a little attention, it would be a disaster for us."

“To face Jing Guo with a drawn sword, how could one avoid danger” Yin Guan said calmly: “Unless we can all silently endure everything that has happened in the past.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Just now, I seemed to have seen King Wu's Ten Directions Ghost Mirror," asked King Chu Jiang again, "Could it be that he is establishing a communication system"

“Yeah. Judging by the time, he should have been caught already.” Yin Guan said expressionlessly: “With his loyalty, he would definitely betray us.”

“If that’s the case, why not just curse him to death” asked King Chu Jiang.

Yin Guan explained: "Firstly, it wouldn't be easy to curse him. He would definitely have been prepared for me. It's easier when we are close, but he is imprisoned in the Central Heavenly Prison, making it more difficult. Secondly, he shouldn't know things he doesn't need to, but to survive, he will certainly fabricate many pieces of information and mislead Sang Xian Shou while being held in the Central Heavenly Prison. Wouldn't that be more meaningful"

Chu Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment. "What do we do next"

“It's not 'we', it's 'I'. ” Yin Guan looked at her calmly: “You should take off the mask and live a good life for a while.”

Chu Jiang Wang raised his hand and went to take off the mask: "That's how it is—"

Yin Guan held her hand, shaking his head. "Don't let me know your true identity, don't give me the chance to betray you. Don't test human nature."

The King of Chujiang wasn't pleased by this concern: "Similarly, you wouldn't give me the chance to betray you, would you"

Yin Guan didn't answer, this didn't need an answer.

Anyone can betray him, he won't be hurt by anyone. That's the reason why he's still alive today.

"Last question," King Chujiang asked. "Back then, you almost died with Ji Yan Yue. Was it truly a willingness to die, or were you certain that King Bian would intervene"

>

Yin Guanping said calmly: "He will definitely make a move. I won't hesitate to die either."

"You trust him a lot."

"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief. When that boulder comes crashing down, we're all just ants."

"Sympathy for those with the same ailment" asked King Chujiang.

Yin Guan got up, swaying as he walked towards the outside of the valley: "Maybe it's not us who are sick."

On June 9, 1932, the Fourth Assembly of Taixu was convened.

As the morning light streamed through the skylight, bathing the wooden floor in a warm glow, Jiang Wang opened his eyes from meditation. As expected, Zhu Wei was there beside him, still seated opposite, legs crossed in their usual meditative pose.

“What are you doing” Jiang Wang said with a helpless expression. “It’s been almost three months, and you come to my meditation room every night! Don’t you have your own room”

“It’s convenient to discuss practice questions anytime.” Zhu Wei said faintly, “Is there something wrong with that”

"It's fine." Jiang Wang said impatiently, "You can just keep sitting there, the room is yours anyway."

He got up and pushed open the door.

As expected, Bai Yu Xia was pacing back and forth at the door again. She held an account book in her hand, pretending to write something diligently.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let me see what you're drawing! All day long, you keep—" Jiang Wang strode forward abruptly, snatched his account book, glanced at it, then slapped it back: "Well, you remember your accounts well. They're all filled up."

Bai Yu Xias foxily looked at him: "Aren't you hiding something from your shopkeeper You seem so suspicious."

“Don't play the victim,” Jiang Wang pointed at him. “I've seen you hanging around the door for months. What are you trying to do”

"Just a coincidence," Bai Yu's shoulders shrugged. "Where are you going"

"Now that I'm here, should I report my whereabouts to you"

Please note that the content within the > tags was empty.

Bai Yu Xia's expression was rather indifferent: "Just curious, if you're not comfortable, you don't have to say... Is there anything inconvenient"

Jiang Wang smiled: "I'm going to Tai Xu Mountain to attend the Tai Xu Conference, are you going too"

"May I" Bai Yuxia asked.

Jiang Wang looked at her with a haughty expression: "Are you a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion"

“Excuse me.” Bai Yuxia covered her face and retreated.

Jiang Wang walked out with empty hands and light steps, occasionally chattering a few idle words.

"Don't forget your homework today, Chu Yao!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Jade Cicada, remember to supervise him. You should also focus on your own cultivation... You will definitely be able to achieve divine manifestation this year, you're fine.”

"Tell the kitchen not to leave my meal. I am responsible for the world today and have no time for dinner."

He sauntered out of the Baiyu Jing Restaurant, waving his hand without looking back and telling people not to see him off. It was just like any ordinary day.

One step too far into the void, and it has already vanished without a trace.

In the Taixu Pavilion, the members sat down.

This is the fourth Tai Xu Pavilion Conference since its establishment, and also the first after the meeting was changed to a bi-annual schedule. After half a year, all members of the pavilion must have prepared many proposals.

Jiang Wang had originally thought he would be the last to arrive, but in fact, when he took his seat, there was still one empty space left — it still belonged to Li Yi.

Today's Tai Xu Pavilion is much quieter than usual, with no one whispering. Before the Tai Xu Conference began, everyone seemed to lack conversation.

>

As time reached the Chen hour, the sundial clearly marked the time. This Tai Xu meeting officially began.

Cang Ming looked at Dou Zhao several times. Seeing that the one with the worst temper remained silent, he had to take charge himself: "Is Li Yi late, or isn't he coming"

"Being late is the same as not coming at all." Ju Kui's face was expressionless.

Zhong Xuanying calmly put down his pen and wrote, “Mark as absent.”

Cao Ming waited for a while, but there was no follow-up. He could only say again: "Then what"

He wasn't a talkative person, but Dou Zhao, this 'advance scout', was unusually quiet today. What could he possibly do He had to cause some trouble for the Jing Guo people at least, otherwise, this meeting wouldn't have been worth coming to, would it

Li Yi's public absence once again naturally warrants a large-scale reprimand!

"The Ju Kui said: 'The rule we set last time was that if someone missed three meetings in a year, Jing Guo would have to replace them. But now that the meeting schedule is every six months, it's impossible to even reach three absences.'"

It's obvious that Li Yi isn't a real fool.

Only after confirming that the existing rules wouldn't affect him did he brazenly skip work.

The meaning of "drama shortage" is very clear. Even if we set some rules on the spot to force Li Yi back into his seat, it wouldn't really make much difference.

"That's it then." Zhongxuan tapped the armrest lightly. "Li Yi's not attending the meeting, he's giving up his right to participate. There's nothing anyone else can do about it."

"How do we count that missing vote" Qin Zhizhen asked.

"Since the Tai Xu Pavilion has been operating for nearly a year now, everyone is familiar with the process. From now on, instead of having me host every session, we will rotate hosts. Each session will be presided over by a different person. In the event that someone is absent, the presiding officer will have two votes. This seems to be the fairest way to operate the Tai Xu Pavilion. What do you all think"

He answered so quickly, it didn't seem like he was thinking on the spot. Or maybe this was his proposal all along. He had been planning to let the other council members experience the feeling of being in charge for a change. Find a little less to complain about day by day.

With no objections, the meeting officially began.

"Does anyone have any proposals" said Ju Kui as usual.

Huang Sheli stood up and said calmly, "I have a proposal — this plan is called the Tai Xu Fighting Arena."

She held a stack of documents in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she distributed them to each member: "The details are all in your hands. To put it simply — I want to replicate the successful fighting arena business model in the Illusory Realm of Taixu. I want the Illusory Realm of Taixu itself to be a profitable venture. I need to emphasize that, besides the necessary operational costs of the Taixu Arena, all profits will go towards maintaining the operation of the Illusory Realm of Taixu. Of course, this also includes paying us dedicated members."

In fact, the Tai Xu Arena was the proposal she wanted to put forward at the last Tai Xu Conference. It's just that Tai Xu Xuanzhang's moral radiance was too dazzling, and a business like the Tai Xu Arena, which focused solely on making money, wasn't something she felt comfortable mentioning. So she had to improvise a lame excuse to cover it up.

After more than half a year of brewing, the plan for the Tai Xu Fighting Arena has also become more mature. It can even be said that everything is ready, as long as the Tai Xu Pavilion approves it, it will soon be able to operate.

She didn't say too much about empty words—this cake, everyone present had a share, and those absent also had a share.

“I object!” Cang Ming only glanced at the beginning before clearly and firmly voicing his opposition.

As everyone knows, the most popular and profitable business in Mukuo is the numerous gambling dens scattered across the grasslands. They offer a level of excitement unmatched by any other form of entertainment, plundering the purses of countless nobles.

How many people travel thousands of miles to the grasslands, just to experience the most passionate and brutal atmosphere of gladiatorial combat.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Now Huang Sheli wants to open a gambling den in the Illusory Realm of Vast Emptiness. Isn't this stealing Mu Guoku's source of income

>

The arena environment is almost identical to reality; the fighting styles have more possibilities, there's nothing too fantastical that can't be achieved in this realm. In terms of spectating, it's much more convenient, as everyone can watch through the Illusory Realm without having to travel thousands of miles to the actual location. Even fighters have a wider range of choices; under the guarantee of life safety, anyone can participate...

Compared to traditional fighting arenas, the advantages of Tai Xu Arena are simply too numerous to list.

Besides, it also relies on Tai Xu Huan Jing, the most influential platform today, with countless Tai Xu practitioners who can become target audiences.

How can the fighting arena of a pastoral country compete with it

Huang Sheli drew his sword too quickly and struck too hard!

But Cang Ming couldn't refute on the grounds of profit. Everyone with discerning eyes could see the potential of the Tai Xu Fighting Arena. Huang Sheli's words, "the profits are used to maintain the operation of the Tai Xu virtual realm and to pay the members," almost tied every member to her chariot.

“The Illusory Realm is the vessel of humanity, and its initial intention is to propel the human race forward. The Sword Platform is where cultivators test their paths and hone their skills. It's not a place for life-or-death duels to be spectacle for the world to watch! To abandon great ambitions for petty gains, wise men would never do such a thing!”

Cang Ming had no plan beforehand, could only find excuses on the spot, became more and more agitated, suddenly stood up: "Furthermore, we members of Tai Xu Pavilion should uphold a just position, only then can we live up to the expectations of the people. Once interests are involved, how can one remain impartial Turning Tai Xu Illusionary Realm into a commercial enterprise is the first step towards the corruption of Tai Xu Pavilion, this matter absolutely cannot be done!"

As a member of Tai Xu Ge attending the meeting alone at this moment, he had too many questions to think about.

Apart from the impact on the gambling den business, he had to consider the meaning behind this matter—

>

Why did Huang Sheli suddenly make such a move Was she simply representing the interests of Huanglongfu, or was she acting on behalf of Jing Guo's strategy After Li Guo's rise, could it be that Jing Guo's westward expansion was hindered and they are now exploring the possibility of eastward expansion
