Chapter Nineteen: Making Jingtian Triumph Over Heaven for a
a giant azure flag fluttered proudly. On the face of the flag, a bold "Ji" character was emblazoned, its claws sharp and menacing.Under the azure war banners that day, stood a veteran with white hair...Ling Wufeng is the third Song Emperor since the founding of Hell's Gate.
He joined this assassin organization with the cultivation of a god's realm.
According to the ranking of the Ten Halls of Hell, he believed himself to be the third-highest skilled fighter in the Netherworld without Gates, perhaps even higher.
Though Chu Jiang Wang, ranked second, was powerful, he wasn't under enough pressure to suffocate him. In the midst of life-or-death struggle, it's hard to say who would emerge victorious.
Of course, towards the Great Lord Qin Guangwang, he still maintained the necessary respect.
He had only been in the organization for less than a year, and he had only seen King Qin Guang make a move once. But that one time was enough to subdue him completely. He didn't even dare to have the slightest thought of rebellion.
Talking about it, all these Yama Kings in Hell's Gate weren't any better than ruthless villains before joining the organization. If not for King Qin Guang's true abilities, who would have ever submitted to whom
He never would have imagined that Bian Chengwang, the Sixth Hall Yama who was elusive like a mythical dragon and rarely appeared for missions, would be so arrogant.
He merely grumbled a little and didn't actually make a move.

A trivial matter that could be resolved with a little compromise. This fellow is so stubborn, he even dares to provoke me!
Even more, he wasn't just provoking him alone, but also provoking all of Hell!
But what he didn't expect was that these vicious-looking "colleagues" around him, faced with such a provocation, none of them stood up.

Everyone kept their eyes on their own noses, as if they hadn't heard a thing.
Your grandmother's. Is this still the underworld Go back to raising chickens!

The Song Emperor cast a glance around the room, and everyone avoided his gaze.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
All these Yama Kings present, apart from him, had all participated in the Battle of Yuguo's City-Destruction which made Hell known throughout the heavens.
To assassinate a country's rightful emperor is an extremely grave matter.
If Yin Guan wasn't from Youguo Xiacheng himself, and his feud with the people of Youguo Shangcheng was known to everyone, it would be a confusing account that no one could explain. Hell has no door and has long been on the wanted list of all countries in the world. The encirclement received is far greater than it is now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But even so, Di-Hell's Gate didn't dare to step into Jing Guo again. This battle also brought Di-Hell's Gate into the sight of people all over the world.
Actually, the grievances between Yin Guan and You Guo Shang Cheng can be explained clearly. The reason why it seems confusing is because Jing Guo was involved. Therefore, Jing Guo's wanted order is also vague, and there has not been a very clear explanation to this day.

The giant turtle is still there, still drinking the blood of people from Youguo. How can we be sure
In that battle, King Biancheng single-handedly pressed down on the enormous turtle beast, nearly crushing King Wu with its might.
Regardless of whether it is the King of Mount Tai, the King of Turning Wheels, or the King Yama, or the King of Cities, whoever underestimates the power of the King of Posthumous Affairs will be met with the terror of the King of Bian City.
That is, the new Song Emperor thought he was the third-ranking member of the organization just because he had recently arrived.
“Hmph.” Emperor Song snorted coldly, that surging killing intent, no matter how it was released or retracted: “My sword, I don't want to stain the blood of my comrades. Take care of yourself.”
He's not stupid either.
Even if one were truly foolish, seeing the attitude of so many senior Yama Kings, they could guess that they had run into a tough opponent. So would they still dare to charge headfirst
If there are no stairs, draw them yourself. A hitman has to have some special skills, right

As for Song Emperor's such rigid submission, Duke of Biancheng didn't seem to mind much, or perhaps he was cold and indifferent to everything. He just casually shifted his gaze away.
Throughout the entire altercation, King Qin Guang watched with a smile, seemingly unfazed by the infighting within his organization.
Only then, as the dust settled, did he speak, "Is it all over"
His eyes turned to Song Emperor: "The action is about to begin, or shall we kill one first to liven things up"
The Song emperor felt very wronged. He wasn't the one who was late, and he wasn't so arrogant. The two of them started arguing, how come you only stare at me
But regardless, the first Song Emperor died in Qi, and the second Song Emperor was killed by King Qin Guang with his own hands for selling out the organization to Jing. He didn't want to become the third Song Emperor erased from Hell's Gate.
So he said, “It was just a misunderstanding. I forgive him!”

Qin Guang Wang's gaze finally shifted from him, scanning over every other Yan Luo. Slowly, he spoke: “I know some of you disagree with each other, some look down on each other, and even harbor hatred for one another.”
It's all right. That's your own business.
"Hell doesn't care whether you are united or loving towards each other."
“But there’s one thing, I’ll say it only once, and I hope you remember it—don't bring your personal grudges into the mission.”
He doesn't threaten anyone's physical safety, because when you go against his will, your life is already unconnected to safety.
"Rest assured, my lord." Wang, the coroner's voice was unusually stiff: "I firmly support your leadership and obey your orders without hesitation."
The Eight Palaces City King is a well-dressed old man with a cane in his hand. Perhaps he isn't an old man after all, for the deep wrinkles under the mask may not be genuine.
But his voice was indeed aged, with the sense of decline that comes with time: "Leader, this is my fate."

The Five Halls Yama King's fingertips continuously spun a dice. He suddenly grabbed it, spread his palm, and the side facing up was a six. A burst of laughter filled the air: "You win, of course, you call the shots."
The taciturn Ninth Prince, simply stroked his chest and bowed in deference.
The ten-hall turning king's chains of runes wound around his body like serpents. He stood there languidly, the runes themselves becoming his language, taking on a concrete form as clear and flat sounds: "Like the leader, I am a peaceful man, with no opinions about anyone."
The Seventh Heaven's Mount Tai King sat cross-legged on his cast iron gauntlets, his entire being wedged into the cave nestled within the cliffside like a rock. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but he strained to maintain a serious expression in his eyes: "Whatever Big Brother says goes."
King Chujiang didn't speak, nor did he need to express himself. Everyone knew she had always been the most supportive of King Qin Guang.
"Lay your task upon me," said King Biancheng coldly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
His time was precious, and he wished to spend every breath practicing. He had no interest in watching others pledge their loyalty to King Qin Guang. He had been remarkably patient listening this far.
King Qin Guang didn't mind. On the high cliff, he said, “This mission has been organized for half a year, and everyone was asked to keep their schedule free a month in advance. The rewards are beyond your imagination, of course, danger always accompanies benefits. Those who can't participate can leave now. Once I start describing the details of the mission, no one except King Bian Cheng is allowed to withdraw.”
The Song emperor, wisely, did not press for the reason why King Bian was exempt. Instead, he proactively said, “In this business of walking on the edge of a knife, how can one be afraid of going up Mount Knife Please go ahead!”
Qin Guang Wang smiled meaninglessly, then said: "This time's mission objective, is You Que."
Many Yama Kings in attendance felt perplexed, for this name seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
But the city lord, who was leaning on a stone platform with his cane, suddenly raised his head in surprise: "Huang He, the leader of Jing Guo who once shook the heavens and earth, known as the top figure who claimed to make Jing Tian surpass all others for a hundred years... The leader of the inner palace, Dao Li San Ba Jiu Liu years old, that stray from Jing Guo"
King Biancheng's eyes were cold and emotionless, but his heart was beating rapidly.
The Yellow River's leader, the pride of Jing Guo, evokes so many associations.
“The Urban King is truly knowledgeable, worthy of being the most cultured person in Hell's Unending Gate,” Qin Guangwang praised. “The top student from the Yellow River two sessions ago, you still remember him”
Not everyone would agree with the evaluation that "hell has the most culture," but no one spoke up to refute it.
All the Yama Kings have realized the difficulty of this mission. After the operation in Youguo, Jingguo has become a forbidden zone for the Netherworld Gate! It doesn't matter how capable Yu Que himself is, it is extremely dangerous for assassins from the Netherworld Gate to enter Jingguo. Moreover, the Yu family is a renowned family in Fengtian Prefecture, and a prominent clan in Jingguo. Once the operation is discovered, there will be an immediate frenzied counterattack.
"But…" Urban Wang said in a low voice, "Didn't You Que already become mentally shattered and reduced to a useless person during the War of Fending Off Guardians that year"
“The information is correct.” Qin Guang Wang said in a low voice.

Urban King was even more puzzled: "Then why would anyone still want to kill him And after all these years, and asking us to do it"
>
"That's not a question we need to consider," said King Qin Guang. "We do business with money, and we don't need to investigate our clients' intentions or their background."
Mount Tai's King pounded his head in pain: "Wait a minute, what is this war against Wei you're talking about Why would Jing attack Wei Isn't that its vassal state"

Qin Guang Wang took a deep look at him: "Don't mind it, it doesn't matter."

Compared to those who only knew how to kill, King of Biancheng was well-versed in history books and naturally understood the importance of the Battle of Wei.
The Kingdom of Jing has been the foremost nation since its founding. For many years, it reigned supreme in the Central Domain, ushering in an era of flourishing national systems and, to some extent, guiding the flow of humanity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But it is not always the case that all nations submit.
Before there was "Only Chu Rejects Submission," and after, "Five Kings Gather in Tiānjīng."
A city lay in ruins, its streets littered with corpses after a brutal battle between Jing Mu and the armies of Li Yuancheng. Jiang Shu donned armor in the palace, preparing to meet Ji Fengzhou, the emperor who had captivated the nation...These events were not long ago.
Even Zhongyu, traditionally seen as the bedrock of Jingguo's backyard garden, is not always calm and peaceful.
The Battle of Jing against Wei can be seen as a microcosm of the challenges Jing faced for many years as it dominated the Central Plains.
At that time, the State of Wei was far different from today. It could be said to have been strong in military might and talent flourished. Its national strength was unmatched by its neighbors. There even appeared heroes like Mei Xingjun who defended a lone city against celestial demons.

More importantly, there are three behemoths standing behind it—Mu Guo, Qinkou Academy, and Renxin Hall.
The rise of the Weiguo, was a strategic southward expansion of the Mukuo's divine grace, which collided with the ambitions of Qinkou Academy and Renxin Hall, two top-tier sects seeking to expand their influence. With a shared goal, the Weiguo ascended rapidly.
The rapidly expanding state of Wei naturally wouldn't be content with merely being a tributary state, unwilling to pay tribute to the paramount power year after year. They not only harbored ambitions of independence, but also briefly attempted to annex the Tianma Plain.
It was in this situation that war broke out.
The state of Jing, with Yin Xiaoheng as its general, led a main force of demon extermination troops directly to the state of Wei, even attacking the Tianma Plain.
Finally, they besieged and captured the city of Jingguan, slaughtering its people in such a brutal manner that corpses littered the fields and the highlands were stained with blood. As a result, only four out of every ten citizens of Wei remained.
The country remained silent for a time, and did not send troops out onto the grassland.
The most famous medical practitioner of Renxin Guan at that time committed suicide.
The diligence academy also closed its doors for three months.
That was back in the year 3898.
In just twenty years, the Weiguo has transformed from a powerful nation that once aspired to conquer the Tianma Plain into the weakest group of small nations in the Zhongyu region, peacefully raising ferocious beasts for the Jingguo.
Speaking of it, the Jing-Guo invasion of Wei and the First Qi-Xia War occurred only a decade apart. In terms of killing, Yin Xiaoheng was far more cruel and bloody than Chong Xuanzhu. But while the latter gained notoriety for his brutality, the former, even after laying down his armor, remained a refined and elegant Daoist master.
This is a manifestation of the power Jing State wielded in ancient times. The authority to speak and set the discourse for the entire world lay within Jing State's grasp.

"This mission is highly difficult." Bian Cheng Wang evaluated without emotion.
“So the price is set quite high,” King Qin Guang patiently explained. “This Yu Que kills indiscriminately, with mountains of blood debts on his hands. Your rules are indeed troublesome, but he does have a way to die, doesn’t he”
As is well known, King Bian of Bian had two rules.
First of all, he only takes the missions he wants to take and only kills the people he wants to kill.
Secondly, he believed that a killer should have the dignity of a killer and disliked it when his colleagues killed people without payment.
The first rule is fine, after all, it's just freedom earned through one's own strength. The second rule is a bit excessive, controlling oneself isn't enough, it even restricts other Yama Lords. We came here to be assassins, did we come to be educated and disciplined
But King Qin Guang had also said long ago that he respected anyone's preferences. He allowed everyone to have their own rules—as long as you have the ability to keep them.
At the end of the day, it's still the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. It's just that King Bian Cheng's rules are a bit peculiar, making him quite unique among assassins.
If it weren't for his inability to defeat King Qin Guang, the coroner Wang would have made everyone hand over an arm as a rule.
“I cannot judge right from wrong, nor am I responsible for discerning the truth. Whether or not someone is someone I want to kill is purely a subjective feeling.” Bian Cheng Wang’s voice seemed devoid of emotion: “Military law operates independently of the penal code; common moral values are also not applicable on the battlefield. You speak of the path of death, but I have not seen it.”
King Chujiang felt a little surprised: "I thought you, King Biancheng, wanted to be a good person and punish evil like the Three Punishments Palace. I didn't expect you to be so capricious."
“Where are the good people among the Executioners” King Bian Cheng’s words caused all the Yama Kings to laugh, but he himself did not smile. He said coldly, “The Hall of Three Punishments would never claim they are good people. They act according to the law and never consider their hearts.”
"And you" Chu Jiangwang asked with interest.
“I am no different from you.” King Biancheng said coldly.
He seems to have the same attitude towards everyone, or perhaps there is no such thing as "attitude" on him.
“These days, don't be a good person no matter what you do.” Urban Wang rubbed his cane and smiled wryly: “If you want to be a good person, people will ask you to be a saint.”
King Qin Guang said faintly, “The massacre of the people in Jing Guo happened after the war ended. The king of Wei had already surrendered, but Yin Xiaoheng still ordered the city to be slaughtered to intimidate the other countries. Among them, You Que was the most ruthless and vicious.”
Then, let's go." King Biancheng turned around on his own and walked out of the canyon with indifference.
Pingwang looked at his back, feeling as if his gaze was sinking in the mire, unable to extricate himself for a moment. It was only when he activated the Jin Flame in his eyes that he suddenly noticed Biancheng Wang's sword at his waist. He felt an urge to draw it, and its sharpness couldn't be concealed by the scabbard.
>
He thought, this must be a very cruel sword.
