Chapter 15: The Nourishment of Artifacts

er to the architectural style here. The pavilions are connected and occupy a vast area.The bed was extremely warm, and the air was filled with a pleasant, not cloying, scent of talcum powder.Inside is...No matter how the situation develops, Yue Leng is back. According to Jiang Wang and Ma Xiong's agreement, he can now leave directly.

And Jiang Wang left without hesitation, not even saying goodbye to Ma Xiong or Yue Leng before he went.

Yin Guanqiang acted decisively, killing Taishan Wang and silencing him. This allowed him to find a new place to hide.

But this also indicates that the situation of the group of killers in Hell's Gate is precarious. With Yama being captured, Yin Guan likely wouldn't have dared to come here and silence them if there were better options available.

To get a head start on Yue Leng isn't easy, it's a gamble with your life.

But the fact that Yue Leng silenced the captured prisoner was, without a doubt, an extremely serious provocation to him.

This means that Yue Leng and their pursuit will become more aggressive.

Hell holds no gates. A group of top-tier assassins from the outer realms are pursuing them, and this side has powerful divine beings. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the intensity would be unimaginable.

Jiang Wang doesn't want to get involved.

If he had the ability to dominate the entire game, taking control of the situation wouldn't be out of the question. But right now, it's best to just play it safe.

Even choosing to leave quietly was like that. He didn't go to say goodbye again because he didn't want to jinx things and cause any trouble.

Given Yue Leng's position at Beiya, if he truly wanted to requisition Jiang Wang's participation in the investigation using his status, it would be very difficult for Jiang Wang to refuse.

Anyway, Ma Xiong had promised him. As for the possibility of things changing or the situation being different afterwards, Jiang Wang didn't consider it at all.

Let these people fight to their deaths, he'd quickly finish his business here, and then rush to see AnAn.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Jiang Wang left quietly and did not attract much attention. Those who were suspicious, Ma Xiong would explain to them later.

But to Jiang Wang's surprise, Lin Youxie followed up and didn't speak.

"Anything" Jiang Wang only stopped and asked after leaving the base.

"Having worked together, here's a parting gift for you." Lin Youxie said.

He just walked away after saying he was familiar, so we've 'worked together' What kind of work Just staring blankly together

"Understood. Please return now."

"Okay, I'll head back now." Lin Youxie said with his mouth, but his feet didn't move: "By the way, before I leave, there's one more question I want to ask you. Would that be convenient"

"I'm not comfortable with that." Jiang Wang refused without hesitation.

But Lin Youxie didn't seem to hear the refusal, and instead directly asked: "I noticed that when Officer Wang was executed with five punishments, Ma Catcher and the others seemed to relax a bit. Only you acted very cautiously. Do you seem familiar with Officer Wang"

Her gaze swept across the question, seemingly casual, but Jiang Wang knew, her every subtle emotion was being observed - and observed best of all.

Jiang Wang didn't hide his displeasure. He looked at Lin Youxie with an unusually serious expression: "I know you have a strong ability to solve cases, and I know that as a senior detective, you might habitually doubt some people or things. But please restrain yourself, I'm not your criminal!"

No matter how much of a natural she was at solving cases, she was from a long line of renowned trackers.

In Jiang Wang's current state, her cultivation level at the Tenglong Realm is her biggest weakness.

When Jiang Wang became serious, the powerful aura emanating from him instantly suppressed Lin Youxie, making his breathing difficult.

She wasn't afraid of Jiang Wang deep down, nor did she think Jiang Wang would do anything to her. However, the pressure from his strength couldn't be overcome by willpower alone.

She had long known that this handsome young man was terrifyingly powerful, but only now did she realize the true concept of his power, the power that allowed him to defeat Wang Yiwu and Lei Zhankuan head-on.

Of all the internal affairs heads she'd ever known, none had put as much pressure on her as Jiang Wang!

Not until Lin Youxie's face turned beet red did Jiang Wang release her pressure.

"That is all I have to say." he said.

Then he left at once, without stopping.

Jiang Wang's destination was Nanyang City in Chiyang County.

Bei County was located to the southeast of Linzi, while Chiyang County was located to the southwest of Bei County.

Bay County and Chiyang County were separated by a narrow bridge mountain corridor, which belonged to Bridgeshan County.

In terms of land area, Qiaoshan County is relatively small within the entire Qi state. The only thing it's known for is probably the Qiaoshan Corridor.

Jiang Wang directly flew over the Qiao Shan corridor from the air, entering Chi Yang County before landing. He didn't waste too much time on the way.

This is also a good thing about having a blue plaque hanging on your body. As a head of the Qingpai, you are recognized everywhere in Qi State. If someone who wasn't known suddenly flew around, they would have been shot down long ago by now.

It had been a long time since I last saw the Blackbird. He seemed to have become even uglier. The black spots on his face were darker, and the red ones were brighter. But his cultivation had improved, he was now clearly at the Inner Palace realm.

He leveraged the opportunity of forging a renowned artifact to open the heavens' gate and enter the Tenglong Realm before Jiang Wang. As the master smith who forged the famed artifact Chang Xiangsi, there was no reason for him to be stuck before the inner mansion.

However, he himself was unable to sense the divine seed and failed to succeed in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm. Therefore, he did not obtain any divine powers.

Although it had been a while since they last met, neither of them felt awkward. Their friendship had weathered many tests and would not be easily erased by time.

At this time, sitting in the residence of Lian Que, the two faced each other over cups of wine.

Under Chongxuan Sheng's guidance, Lian Que has forged a reputation for himself, wielding significant influence within the Lian family. He is now considered one of the most prominent contenders for the position of head of the Lian family.

This can be seen from his current aura, which is completely different from before.

And the reason why Jiang Wang came to Nanyao City in person was no different from his intention when he challenged Le Zhan Qian in Linzi. He brought the momentum of a great victory against Le Zhan Qian, to support Lian Que in Nanyao City.

In the selection of an heir, connections are also a very important factor to consider. Especially for families like the Lian Clan, who are not inherently powerful in combat, they often rely on external support to maintain their prestige.

In the beginning, Chong Xuan Sheng planned to use Lian Que as a secret weapon. He secretly guided and supported Lian Que, allowing him to seize control of the Lian family. Later, Lian Que, in turn, used the power of the Lian family to support Chong Xuan Sheng's competition with Zhong Xuan Zun.

But plans can't keep pace with change, and now the situation is vastly different. Since Wang Yiwu was forced out of Linzi, Chong Xuan no longer needs the support of the Lian family as much. As he analyzed, his current focus is shifting towards personal cultivation.

Therefore, the relationship with the red-collared sparrow can be brought to the surface. It benefits both individuals vying for the position of head.

It's definitely more beneficial for Lian Que, but there's no need to dwell on it. Lian Que isn't someone who is unaware of the situation.

>

Of course, the Liang family wouldn't be completely unaware of the big events happening in Linzi City.

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

In fact, until he saw Jiang Wang with his own eyes, Lian Que still couldn't quite believe the rumors about those two legendary battles.

Last time we met, although Jiang Wang also defeated the 14th prince Jiang Wuyang, he wasn't as effortless. Who could have imagined that now Jiang Wang could stand on equal footing with Wang Yiwu and even defeat him

Lian Que drank down the cup and grinned, "I knew you wouldn't disgrace Chang Xiang Si!"

Jiang Wangyi finished his drink and said, "Brother Lian's masterpiece was created with blood and tears, how could I possibly disappoint you"

Remembering those days when we forged Longing in Jianlu, it was truly arduous. A glance and a smile shared between us.

"Speaking of which, you're now opening your inner sanctum and shedding divine powers. You can also start tending to longing."

Lian Que spoke, taking out a small booklet with a crimson cover and pushing it across the table.

"Nurturing"

Jiang Wang glanced at it, and saw on the envelope a scrawling inscription like that of a worm crawling— 《The Method of Nurturing Long-Cherished Objects Named for Their Appearance》.

"You wrote this yourself" he asked.

Lian Que nodded and said, “I've summarized some sword-maintenance methods from Lian family history, specifically designed for Chang Xiangsi. It's been prepared for a while, intending to give it to you along with the beak of Yan Xiao. I didn't expect you to come here first.”

This kind of heart is truly rare.

However, Jiang Wang gave a look of disdain: “I said that such ugly characters, ordinary people can't write them...”ght of that troublesome Qingpai Head Hunter, Lin Youxie.Zheng Shuming said that Wu Lie protected Lin Youxie, and the Inspectorate concealed Lin Youxie's credit for investigating Zhang Yong.Now, it tru...
