Chapter Six: Return in Glory

cloaked monk, mysterious and enigmatic, was his most suspect target. So without a word, he acted on the principle of killing first and asking questions later.In his view, since the man was still silen..."Brother, brother, I heard you're the best in the world, is that true Why didn't you tell me first Are you tired Hard work Do you miss me..."

After a string of questions—

"Then I'm the number one sister in the world, right Me! Jiang An'an! The number one sister in the world!"

(Here is a little stick figure laughing his head off.)

They all say you're so amazing, so amazing. I told them, you've always been this good! You already won first place ages ago!

The last sentence is—

"Brother, when are you coming to see me"

Jiang Wang was on his way back to Qi when he received this letter from Yunhe. From the moment he unfolded it, a smile wouldn't leave his face.

Speaking of which, the Yunhe Chuan Shu technique passed down from Lingxiao Pavilion is indeed profound.

Entwined with the clouds, it moves silently. Along its path, it is just an ordinary cloud, information passing only between clouds. Only when it reaches its destination will it temporarily gather a wisp of cloud vapor, transforming into a crane and descending from the sky.

Its greatest advantage is its secrecy. Its ability to transmit over vast distances stems from two factors: the unique properties of clouds and a core formation within the Lingxiao Secret Realm that supports the Yunhe scrolls. Of course, due to the user's level, the information security of Yunhe transmissions cannot be guaranteed.

However, the things that Ginger Wang and Ginger An usually talked about were just everyday matters, there wasn't really anything confidential.

Although the transmission of the Cloud Crane Scripture was extremely low-key, it couldn't possibly escape the notice of fellow practitioners like Cao Jie and others. However, Jiang Wang didn't intend to conceal it anyway.

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

He rode back in the carriage, writing freely and boldly.

“Oh, you already know Big brother didn't want to tell you, ah, it’s just that I was afraid you would be proud.”

Actually, it's not a big deal. It was just like all the world's countries' strongest warriors gathered together for a martial arts competition, and my brother accidentally came in first place.

That is to say, over all the years, there has only been one master who emerged from the Inner Palace. This truly isn't anything special.

Of course, because this year there are cultivators from the Heavenly Mansion and those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation, it is possible that in the past ten or even dozens of years, Big Brother was always the most powerful one. But so what

Little Jiang An'an, you must remain humble and avoid boasting. Although your brother is already the best in the inner palace, the world is vast and filled with countless talented individuals. There will inevitably be one or two inner palace prodigies who can match your brother's skills. It's better to gain by humility than to lose by arrogance, remember that well.

When your brother returns to his country to take care of some things, he'll come see you. There will be a surprise then!

At this point, Jiang Wang smiled with satisfaction and added —

Also, your writing is a bit slanted. Have you been practicing calligraphy too diligently recently

With a casual fold, the paper transformed into a cloud crane and flew out of the car window.

It turned slightly in the air, skimming over the long, endless line of vehicles and carriages, gradually rising higher and higher until it disappeared into the clouds.

This was a mighty returning army of the State of Qi. At the front, the elite soldiers of the Tianfu Army held flags high to clear the way, carrying behind them the chariots of the two national prodigies – Ji Zhaonan had already left for the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons by this time.

The person's mount, "Xiaobai," stayed with the squad and was escorted back to camp by the Tianfu Army.

Unless absolutely necessary, warhorses are rarely sent to the Wan Yao Gate.

The warhorses spoken of here are powerful steeds with the bloodline of demon beasts. Ordinary horses wouldn't stand a chance on the extraordinary battlefield, not even worth mentioning.

Ordinary soldiers can form an army formation, evolving into extraordinary power. Ordinary steeds lack this ability.

Renowned cavalry units across the land often ride mounts whose bloodlines are a blend of demonic beast heritage. Some mounts are even themselves at the demonic beast level.

Those naturally born exotic mounts were already extremely rare, and wanting to form an army of them was even more difficult.

That's why, apart from cavalry, few people go to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons with mounts.

Firstly, there are warhorses with mixed demon beast bloodlines, which are likely to provoke a fierce reaction from the demon clan.

Furthermore, entering and exiting the Ten Thousand Demons Gate itself consumes the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Gate. Although the Ten Thousand Demons Gate separates two worlds and is supported by the strength of countless powerful human warriors throughout history, this loss of power is negligible. However, over a long period of time, the number of warriors who have entered and exited the Ten Thousand Demons Gate is simply too vast.

The human race has come from hardship, especially in places like the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons soaked with the blood of countless martyrs. How can later generations have the luxury to be extravagant

"Xiaobai" was now walking with "Yan Zhao" and "Xue Ye". The three imperial steeds, each a sight to behold.

The troops heading to the Guanhe River were in front, while the troops attending the ceremony followed behind.

Cao Jie's carriage sat at the rear of the procession.

Such a team, assembled with too many prodigies and domestic nobles, would cause chaos throughout Linzi if anything were to happen. Therefore, he was inevitably implicated.

After seeing the person safely back to Linzi, his journey would be considered a success.

>Through Wò and Jì, passing through Zhèng and Yáng, this route to Guānhé Tái has been traveled many times by the people of Qi. Of course, Yáng is now Qi territory.

"What did you say to An'an" Sitting across from Chong Xuan Sheng, smiled and asked.

This carriage, carrying the pride of the nation, was not meant for anyone else to ride in.

But Chongxuan insisted on sitting beside him, and no one could stop him.

And Chong Xuan came up after, so Shi Fourteen naturally wouldn't fall behind either.

So, such a spacious carriage, the grandest imperial household in the world, was squeezed into a corner. Replies were even pasted onto the side of the carriage.

Zhong Xuan Sheng was very polite and did not peek. However, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

If it weren't for the end of the Yellow River Conference, Jiang Wangxu had to return to Qi as soon as possible to receive his reward, he would have liked to follow Jiang Wangxu to Yunxiao Pavilion to take a look at Jiang An'an.

I also don't know what Jiang Wang's younger sister is like. She must be quite mature for her age.

“I didn't say anything, just told her to study hard and practice diligently.” Jiang Wang was in a good mood with a radiant smile: “Can I still show off in front of a little kid”

"Oh, is that so" Chong Xuan replied half-believingly, then smiled and said, "This time I saw your Qiao Yanjun. Although she was wearing a veil, I couldn't see clearly. But Xu Gao'e said she must be a peerless beauty, perhaps even surpassing Ye Lan'er!"

"Of course, she's no worse than Ye Lan..." Jiang Wang subconsciously replied, then immediately became alert, righteously and sternly disdainfully said: "How can you be so idle You just gossip about this and that behind people's backs all day long! Can't you do something worthwhile"

He and Ye Qingyu only exchanged a few words that day after the competition. Afterward, Ye Lingxiao appeared with a stern expression, took her away, saying that there was an urgent matter to attend to back home...

In just a moment, he thought Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian might not even have noticed. He never expected that they would secretly discuss it!

Zhong Xuan Sheng smiled and said, "Let's just chat casually. We haven't talked much!"

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

In fact, several of them had even thoroughly researched the history of Lingxiao Pavilion. It was not that "there wasn't much to talk about," but rather that "they didn't talk much" — primarily because he and Xu Xiangqian, Li Longchuan were there. Yan Fu was busy whispering with Wen Tinglan, so he didn't have time to chat with them. At the time, Zishu went with Zhao Wuyan to comfort their fellow disciple Yin Wenhua. Of course, Fourteenth listened to everything throughout the process.

Jiang Wang spat disdainfully, "Trivial, superficial, vulgar!"

Zhong Xuan laughed heartily.

Fourteen cocked his head, his voice muffled by the helmet. "You weren't talking like this when we were discussing marriage arrangements before."

Jiang Wang: ...

"Hey, where are we" To avoid further awkwardness, he lifted the curtains and asked.

Please note that I can only translate the text content within the tags. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Xuan wore a broad smile and looked outside, saying, "Ji Guo."

On the map, to the northeast of Ji Guo lies a country that is an old acquaintance of Jiang Wang's, called "You." The giant tortoise that carries its city and marches forward left a deep impression on Jiang Wang.

And not far to the southeast of the state of Ji lay the renowned Qingya Academy, where Xu Xiangqian had studied.

This line says that Yan Fu and Li Longchuan returned to Qi State with the troops.

As for Xu Xiangqian, after leaving Wuo Kingdom, he followed Zha Wuyan and Zi Shu westward. It is said that they were going to Xue Country to see the snow.

Zha Wu Yan's original form traveled everywhere, purely for cultivation. This time, his confidence was unwavering, as he must have already solidified his path and aimed to achieve divine manifestation in the Westernmost realm.

Another cultivator who has ascended to the divine realm before the age of thirty, with limitless potential for the future.

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

When Xu Xiangqian came to Guanhetai, he passed by the academy without going in. When he left, he was also nonchalant and didn't even glance back... Truly a fine scholar from Qingya Academy.

“Was Ji a vassal state of Jing” Now that they were talking about it, Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask a few questions.

"The Ji nation is not under the Dao. The Wo and You nations are also not." Chong Xuan Sheng naturally understood these things very well, and casually said, "With the Sheng nation in the north holding the line, the influence of the Mu nation can hardly extend over here. Although these small nations are not under the Dao's jurisdiction, they are also hard to refuse the will of the Jing nation."

"A powerful neighbor oppresses its smaller ones, making it hard to survive." After personally witnessing the annexation of Yangguo and Rongguo's struggles, Jiang Wang had a deeper understanding of the plight of these small countries.

“If something were to happen to a country like Youguo, would Jingguo intervene” he asked.

"Who is Chongxuan Sheng He immediately reacted, “Are you asking about Yin Guan What specific actions is he taking now”

"As for that, I'm not sure," Jiang Wang shook her head. "I just thought of it and asked out of curiosity. After all, when Yin Guan and You Guo faced off against the military commander Zheng Zhaoyang, I was there. That giant turtle... It left a deep impression on me. Xu Xiangqian even wrote a poem about it..."

Zhong Xuan Sheng showed no interest in the poem he had written about Xu Xiangqian, saying instead: “You Guo’s geographical location means it cannot escape Jing Guo’s influence. However, geographically speaking, it is closer to Sheng Guo. It has Dao Zong Guo to the south and the first tributary state to the east, yet it is not a part of either Dao or its tributaries. This itself explains the situation.”

Jiang Wang thought for a moment and asked, "What's the problem"

“Of course, the Great Nation would want to exert influence over a country like the Aid Nation. That's the will of a great nation, not just a weapon. But naturally, the Jing Nation wouldn't agree..." Chong Xuan sighed and shook his head: "Forget it. You just need to know that as long as the Aid Nation doesn't cause public outrage, for at least ten years, the Jing Nation won't even bother looking at it.”

"Oh, I see." Jiang Wang nodded and said, "The path is long, and there's no progress without advancement. Don't waste time on the road. How about we spar a bit in our illusory realm"

Although I trust your judgment, you seem to lack respect for the world's first inner palace.

“Ai Si Shi.” Chong Xuan Sheng tilted his head, propping his eyes up with chubby fingers: “Look here, did you get sand in your eyes”

He crept a little closer.

"Hey, come a little closer. You can't see anything from that far away..."

Jiang Wang: …

Jiang Wang silently closed his eyes and continued to explore his inner self.

To be honest, mastering the Half-Roll Solo Charge tactic significantly boosted my efficiency when exploring the Inner Sanctum.

The joys of cultivation are so numerous!

With Cao in command, and the vast chariot fleet of Qi accompanying him, their journey was smooth sailing. Especially after entering the eastern territories, every country they passed through did not just offer “sparse food and water with eager welcome to the king,” but also swept the streets and cleared the roads ahead of time.

There are also local officials who come forward with eager greetings and warm congratulations.

Whether they actually welcomed Qi Guo's presence at the Yellow River meeting or not is unknown. At least on the surface, they appeared very enthusiastic.

Qi State now probably only needs to see the surface jubilation, Cao Jie even didn't show his face, he let a deputy general go out to deal with it.

This enthusiasm reached its peak after the return to unity.

Before even entering the Yang domain, before the boundary markers of the nation were set, I saw masses of flowers blooming on both sides of the road. At this time of year, for them to bloom so brilliantly, it was clearly the result of sorcery.

A large group of children, who knows where they learned from the academy, perhaps gathered together several academies. Each one was dressed in bright colors, holding flowers in their hands, standing neatly on the road.

Behind these children were officials from various levels of Hengyang County, as well as some elderly people with white hair. These are the "parents and fellow countrymen."

Of course, there are also drums and gongs, and fireworks.

Two more martial artists each set up a flag.

Left Book -

>Grand Qi Kui Sheng, the first in the Imperial Palace.

Right Book--

Flaunting in the wind, it stands out boldly.

Those who came from the east entered Qi, starting their journey from Hengyang Commandery.

The magistrate of Hengyang, Huang Yixing, stood at the front with a bright smile.

At this juncture, Jiang Wang naturally couldn't remain hidden inside the carriage. As a returning hero, he had to "express his gratitude to his fatherly elders."

To be honest, Yangdi Qingyang Town was where he laid the foundation for his power in Qi. So, getting along well with the "parents officials" of Yangdi was only natural.

Jiang Wang lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. Under the escort of the soldiers of the Tianfu Army, he walked to Huang Yixing's presence.

He was no longer the down-and-out scholar he once was. There was no trace of his former poverty. He now wore a fine official robe from the state of Qi, looking dignified and imposing.

It was quite a sight to see these two, young and old, meeting under such circumstances.

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

Huang Yixing once "kneeled for the common people" on the battlefield of Chiwei County, "stopping" Chong Xuan Chulian's slaughter. To this day, he is praised by the people of Yangdi and earned him the position of pacifier of Hengyang County.

It seems that he wants to complete the transition from pacifying commissioner of Hengyang County to magistrate of Hengyang County as soon as possible.

And Jiang Wang also made his mark on the battlefield in Chiwei County, and for the first time entered the Qiguo officialdom, receiving the title of Qingyang Zhennan. During the plague unleashed by Bai Gudao, he maintained peace and tranquility, which is still talked about with admiration.

Huang Yixing and Jiang Wang, these two names in Yangdi, are always frequently discussed together.

As a junior, Jiang Wang first bowed and said, "I am ashamed to be praised. I was just doing my duty at the river platform. How could I deserve such hospitality from you all"

Huang Yixing took a step forward and clasped Jiang Wang's hand: "I'm afraid this is too simple, not enough to express everyone's feelings. You are the pride of our Yangdi! Among all the countries in the world, countless prodigies, only you have won this title! We are truly excited!"

He released Jiang Wang's hand, stepped aside, and a delicate little girl came forward with flowers, saying crisply, "Thank you to our great hero from Qi! Congratulations on winning the Yellow River Conference!"

Jiang Wang took the bouquet and smiled gently, "Thank you too, for these beautiful flowers."

He glanced at the sky and smiled, "Let's go back quickly, or we'll miss dinner at home."

He looked again behind this group of children.

Those officials from Hengyang County, all of them, beamed with smiles and showered him with flattering words.

Those gray-haired elders also trembled with laughter, saying something like "promising" or "the light of the yang,".

“Dear elders, please return,” Jiang Wang bowed deeply to the elderly. “Jiang Wang is truly unworthy of such honor.”

Even the children wouldn't say this, but these elders have only been Qi people for a short time. For most of their lives, they were Yang people. How could they truly be happy for Jiang Wang

Bringing these elderly people to celebrate a prodigy like him who became famous on the Qiyang battlefield, although not necessarily forced, was still rather cruel...

"General Cao!"

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

Huang Yixing brushed past Jiang Wang's side and hurried forward two steps.

If Jiang Wang has a future, it's a matter for the future. There's no need for him to fawn over Huang Yixing like this.

This posture today is certainly for the court of Qi. This attentiveness is also for Cao Jie.

At first, I hesitated to disturb him. But now that the "master" himself has alighted from his carriage, how could I not greet him

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations to you! You led the team to victory at the Huang He Summit this time. Winning the first place after consolidating the great achievements of our Qi state is truly a remarkable feat!"

Cao Jie smiled softly and glanced at the people behind him: "Tell these children to go back. It's getting late, we still have to hurry back to Linzi."

>

"Of course, of course, I wouldn't dare to make a mistake." Huang Yixing waved his hand, signaling his subordinate officials to divide the people into two groups and clear a path.

On the other side, he eagerly added: "These children heard that we won the championship, each one was so happy as if nothing else mattered. They all volunteered to come and welcome the heroes!"

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

A prettier little girl, holding flowers, came over. She seemed to want to offer Cao Jie a bouquet as well.

Cao Jie was about to turn around, but he stopped and looked at Huang Yi-xing.

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

"I told them to go back first, so that you could hurry and send these children home. It's not for them to stand here waiting. The boys and girls of Qi are meant to study and cultivate themselves, to support this world in the future. They shouldn't be learning to clap and offer flowers at a young age."

Cao Jie seldom loses his temper, so when he does, it's especially terrifying.

Though the voice wasn't loud, every word felt heavy, pounding on people's hearts, each syllable a tremor.

“The land of Yang is now the land of Qi, and the people of Yang are now the people of Qi. You old officials from Yang... your habits also need to be changed!”
