The Three-Quarter Aroma Building is definitely a familiar place.
It's not just because Zhao Xiaowu often treats guests.
But the first fragrance in the Sanfenxiang Building was indeed that of Xinxang, which Master Jiang truly did not recognize.

Tianxiang's first night, Lan’er, he is familiar with. But it's not a close friendship either. Since the rise of the Sanfen Xiangqi Lou in Linzi, they are now considered strangers.
Xiang Bei didn't speak much, Song Huai seemed to be deep in thought.
Jiang Wang also fell silent.
Amongst the broken walls and ruins, people pass by. The mournful autumn wind carries the scent of rain.
Wu Zhaochang set up the banquet in the main hall of Siming Palace.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
This, of course, is the most important and prestigious hall on the entire planet of Si Ming.
It has always been a practice to celebrate victory with a feast in the vanquished's palace.
To be invited to such a banquet by Duke An would inevitably require extraordinary military prowess and status—only then would one be worthy of witnessing this victory.
The statue of the Star Official in charge of one's life, wrapped in a robe, has already been toppled.
Like a sleeping giant, lying on its side, wondering what beautiful dreams it might have.
Once a temple dedicated to the worship of stars, today it is filled with the smoke and fire of human life.
The Firehead Army made do with what they had on hand and set up a lavish feast in the hall.
Only three people were seated at this table.
“Master of Destiny committed suicide here.”
Jiang Wang's buttocks had just touched the chair when Wu Zhaochang said this.

"Where am I sitting" Jiang Wang asked.
Wu Zhaochang knocked on the table: "Under this table."
Ginger thought of a more terrifying possibility: "He wouldn't be on the table, would he"
“What do you think I am” Wu Zhaochang said angrily, “Is it so unusual to have such a hobby”
Still, it was Dong Tian Shi who answered. He smoothly steered the conversation back on track and asked, "Why did Si Ming Zhen Ren commit suicide"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"For Chang Sheng Jun For Nandou Hall" Wu Zhao Chang said, "It definitely wasn't for himself."
He answered Song Huai's question in a proper and straightforward manner, yet he didn't actually answer it at all. It was a perfect example of "unfeeling reciprocity".
"Master Wu really does love to tell some unfunny jokes," Song Huai said. "Who would commit suicide for themselves"
>
“If people fear living, they will use suicide to help themselves,” Wu Zhaochang said. “There are many examples of this in the Central Prison of Jingguo. Even though you are busy with official duties, do you still need me to point it out”
A while back, the Central Prison carried out a large-scale sweep. Three Chu spies died just before jailers came to their cells... These things weren't apparent to the world, but in the long night, there were undercurrents swirling.
Song Huai glanced at him: "For example, you could use your own Fengdu. You don't have to speak so far away."
The Fengdu Department was the shadow arm of the Chu Kingdom, primarily responsible for external intelligence gathering and also carried out assassination and interrogation. Unlike the Mirror World Platform, it operated entirely in the shadows. Compared to the Central Sky Prison, its jurisdiction was broader and rarely involved internal affairs.

Of course, speaking of methods, the Central Heavenly Prison, the Prison Guard Office, and the Night Watchmen are all cruel in their own way, none more gentle than the other. It's not uncommon for Chu spies to die in the Middle Domain, and Jing spies' activities in the Southern Domain have never been peaceful.
Wu Zhaochang casually said, "Isn't the Central Heavenly Prison more renowned and persuasive"
“The destruction of Nandou Palace was effortless. Do you still intend to torment Sima The wrinkles on Song Huai's face, just like the mask on Wu Zhaochang's face, are both facades, preventing their true emotions from being detected.”
This is just a simple example. Let me know if you have anything else that needs translating!
He hinted meaningfully: “I don’t recall Duke An being a man who would do unnecessary things. Or perhaps, there is some great secret about the state of Chu that Grandmaster Sirius still possesses”
“Wouldn't that torment him” Wu Zhaochang said very calmly, “I don’t know. He died too young, I didn’t have the opportunity to verify the answer.”
Answering only halfway is also a kind of answer.
The two bigwigs were there with hidden agendas. Jiang Wang drank strategically, taking a sip here and a gulp there, and finished the whole pot quickly.
Song Huai said, "It's a pity that I couldn't see you and Changsheng fight with my own eyes. But thinking that even Jiang Ge was unable to see it because of me, this regret has lessened a lot."
"I have no regrets," Jiang Wang put down his glass and said simply, "Anyway, I don't understand it either."
"The young man is too humble!" Wu Zhaochang said with satisfaction, "Next time I spar with Duke Huai, I'll ask you to watch specially."
Song Huai tapped his finger against his wine cup, looking at Wu Zhaochang. He asked directly: "Did you kill Chang Sheng I didn't see the return of Dao to this domain being suppressed by you"
"Please come in. There's something I want you to know," Wu Zhaochang said. "Changsheng Jun was killed by me, but his death wasn't complete. He still managed to create an opportunity—you remember that Tian Tong Dian disciple who committed suicide earlier"
"That's part of the ceremony."
>"Changshengjun, who takes his name as his Dao, especially understands the importance of 'name.' He can trace one's destiny and grasp cause and effect through their name. That's why when our imperial ruler was alive, he stripped him of his imperial title and suppressed his name."
Wu Zhaochang wore a menacing face, but his eyes held no aggression as they swept across the two men. "Before we invaded the Nan Dou Secret Realm, he had already taken away the names of many people, stealing names for longevity. These people lost their names and therefore found it difficult to grasp their own identity. This is also a major reason why the internal order of the Nan Dou Hall collapsed so quickly and the hearts of the people became poisoned."

Please note that I only translated the content within the tags and kept the HTML tags as they were.
His gaze lingered on Song Huai, emphasizing, "It wasn't this official's intention to raise venomous insects."
Song Huai waved his hand: "I didn't say you poisoned the six stars on Nandou Secret Realm, or that you deliberately raised insects to harm people. When I first entered the secret realm, I just chatted with Jiang Xiaoyou casually. Duke An doesn't have to be so sensitive. I trust your character, and I believe Chu State has a grand national style and a sense of responsibility as a powerful nation. This time, Chu State's attack on Nandou is justified and witnessed by the world. Would you dare to disregard justice for personal gain"
Wu Zhaochang shook his head: "Master Song, Master Song, you've said all my words!"
“Then you tell me something I can’t say.” Song Huai was very direct at this moment: “Even though Changsheng Jun has many followers, how could he ask for longevity in front of you What is Wu Zhao Chang, and why did he bring the Evil Mask Army this time Would he give him such an opportunity Zhuge Yi’s foresight is so profound, would he allow him to live”
"Indeed." Wu Zhaochang sighed: "Theoretically, Changsheng has no chance. But he did something I never expected."
Song Huai glanced at Jiang Wang, meaning you should also contribute a word and don't just sit there reaping the benefits.
Jiang Wang actually understood and asked, "What's going on"
Wu Zhaochang said: "He took away the names of those cultivators in Nandou Hall, it was to steal the names of the legendary Nandou Immortals and Gods that circulated here, and then used this to cover the entire Nandou Secret Realm - When you came in just now, did you notice how many people were on this planet"
Song Huai said: "Eight hundred seventy-three million four thousand six hundred fifty-two people."
Just as they had both entered the Nandou Secret Realm and flown for a very short time, Jiang Wang had already observed many corners of the Sirius Star. He observed the truth of this world, grasped information like misfortune, saw joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, and even extracted a lot of valuable intelligence using his celestial thoughts and star river. As for Song Huai's observations, they were specific to every single person on this planet...
This is the gap between Dong Zhen and Yan Dao.
This further highlights the difference between Jiang Wang and Song Huai.
If you give Jiang Wang time, he could also see through the truth of this world, but it couldn't be done overnight, nor could he see it all at once.
“This is just one of the planets. The entire Nandou Secret Realm, with six main stars, has bred millions upon millions of people, excluding the Zhansha Star.” Wu Zhao Chang’s voice was cold and stern: “Chang Shengjun hides his name among them, seen but not met. As long as one person in this group survives, he can live.”
It's an unexpected solution!
It's too outlandish, too cruel, but also... effective.
Yes, this method is indeed a way to seek survival in a dead end and longevity in desperation.
Chang Sheng Jun didn't hide his body, but his name. He couldn't be caught because it was like holding millions upon millions of stars and their inhabitants in the six planets of Nandu Secret Realm hostage.

Could Chu State possibly slaughter all these people
In other words, Wu Zhaochang set this banquet, hoping that those who attended would witness what Just a little imagination, it's hard to escape the intensity!
Jiang Wang was getting restless: "The Nandou Palace has been destroyed, and the war is over. Duke An Guo is a renowned general throughout the land, and a pillar of the state, a model for all to follow. His every word and deed affects the hearts of millions — I implore you to reconsider!"
Wu Zhaochang glanced at him lightly: "I find that Commissioner Jiang always thinks of me as cruel. Does he think that because my grandson died, I will act savagely"
The heir of the Duke An Guo's mansion, Wu Ling, met an unfortunate demise in the Immortal Extermination Forest. This news spread throughout Chu and everyone who paid even a little attention to Chu knew about it. People also tried their best to avoid mentioning it to Wu Zhao Chang.
Jiang Wang originally had many words to advise, but when Wu Zhaochang so calmly said, 'My grandson is dead,' he couldn't speak.
Wu Zhaochang said: "Setting a banquet among mountains of corpses and seas of blood is a common sight for soldiers, so that's why we are sitting here today. Although I have lost my grandson, I have not lost my humanity. You are right, the war has ended, and I have no enemies before me."
He rose from his seat before the banquet: “Chang Sheng must die, but this official will not kill everyone in the Nan Dou Secret Realm. From today onwards, seal off the Nan Dou Secret Realm and prohibit entry or exit. Mortals' lifespan shall be one hundred twenty-nine years and six months. After a generation has passed, all who are still alive shall be killed.”
Song Huai clapped his hands and sighed, "It would be a great kindness if Changsheng could live another life!"
Wu Zhaochang was already walking out of the palace: "Nandu Changsheng Jun, with his painstaking efforts and solitary pursuit, used 'fame' as his way, 'longevity' as his name, seized fame for a lifetime, and hid his name among millions. Let him live another life as an ordinary person. What harm could it do"

As this generation of mortal stars fades and withers, the Longevity Lord either reclaims his name and goes into hiding, or he is left to die. However, under Chu's close scrutiny, a large-scale campaign to reclaim and conceal one's name is bound to expose their whereabouts, making death inevitable in the end.
The State of Chu wanted Dong Tian Shi and the members of Tai Xu Pavilion to see this very decision.
This is the bearing of "Chu".
Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua were busy suppressing the South Dipper stars, they had their military duties to attend to.
Jiang Wang, this "idle person," didn't bother anyone and left the Nandou Secret Realm alone.
A grand dynasty, spanning millennia, can fall in a single day. Mountains and rivers change hands across generations, for whom are they redeemed

Jiang Wang had thought he wouldn't have too many ripples, but the moment he stepped out of the Nandou Secret Realm, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
Then, she transformed into a green rainbow and disappeared westward alone.
The hills stretched out, then suddenly softened in the west before abruptly plunging downwards.
This vast expanse of land that has sunk, was once a fertile plain for miles and miles, but now not even a blade of grass grows there.
This plain once nurtured hundreds of nations, now even vultures don't fly here.
The Battle of Jiangyin during the Qi Xia period and the death of Jing Mu in Shengtu, they both did not have such a huge impact on the current situation. It's not that they didn't have the power to do so, but the intensity of war was always controlled—either one side had overwhelming advantage, or both sides maintained a certain tacit understanding.
The Summer Kingdom also attempted to bring calamity upon the world, and if the people of Qi were unable to stop it, the Jiangyin Plain would be even more disastrous than the Hegu Plain is today.
And the Battle of the River Valley between Qin and Chu was a war that spiraled out of control. Therefore, the plain of the River Valley became ravaged wasteland.

Qin Guo Xu Wang and Chu Guo Xiang Longxiang, were evenly matched opponents who were nearly equal in every way. Of course, with life and death as the deciding factor, there was no need for further debate now.
Jiang Wang came from the South Region, skimming over the valley, he couldn't help but glance down — in a sense, this was also the war that changed his life.
Here's your response:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The collision of two behemoths, ripples spread for millions of miles, countless lives were changed. Zhuang Guo Zhen Guan Li, a dying boy, was no exception.
>
“Master Jiang!”
>
In the desolate river valley plain, walked a graceful woman.
>
She has perfect features and flawless makeup, exuding an impeccable presence that would please anyone.
>
She looked up in the boundless desolate world, watching Jiang Wang rush past.
Speak of Tianxiang, and behold Tianxiang.
Jiang Wang didn't expect to meet Ye Lan'er here. But considering the death of Farao and the disappearance of Xixiang, it seemed fitting.
After a moment's thought, he descended gracefully. "Night Maiden, what brings you here"
“Why can’t I be here” Yelan showed a smile that was just right.
Her breath was profound and mysterious, like that of a genuine cultivator.
Looking back, the cultivators who participated in the unrestricted arena of the Yellow River Conference were indeed the most outstanding prodigies of that time. Now, they have all proven their true mettle.
Jiang Wangdao: "Chu State and the Sanfen Xiangqi Lou... The Chu army only recently came here to pay respects, aren't you surprised"
In the Dragon Palace banquet, Dou Zhao brandished his sword to intimidate Ye Lan'er. In the Southern Region, Dou Zhao killed the Dharma of Master Fengxiang. Chu Guo overturned the Southern Region and searched for the remaining disciples of the Three-Point Fragrance Building. All these events clearly demonstrate Chu Guo's determination.
Under such circumstances, for Night Wanderer to appear here in the river valley truly takes courage.

"The Chu army came here to pay respects, that was already last year's affair." Ye Lan looked at him and said: "Master Jiang's cultivation is higher and higher, he cares less and less about time, I'm afraid he has already forgotten the deceased!"
Regarding the word "forget," Jiang Wang was now a bit sensitive.
Because he had forgotten the name of a woman called Mei Yue in the Nandou Secret Realm. This person wasn't important, but Zuo Guangshu had told him about her, and she possessed the cultivation of a true expert of our time. There was no reason why he shouldn't remember her.
Later, when I learned about Chang Sheng Jun's way, I finally understood the reason.
"Back then, when we met at my place, our group drank and chatted merrily. Time flies, and we all went our separate ways, each making our own choices." Jiang Wang sighed, "I just hope everyone is doing well."
He had absolutely no reason to side with Chu against Yelan, nor did he even consider helping Chu capture Yelan. They were both acquaintances who had shared drinks together, but also strangers who had severed ties long ago.
Maybe this is the most we can do today, just happen to meet, have a few words and wish each other well. Let's say goodbye friendly!
“Master Jiang is truly a stranger. Such polite words, yet so heartless.” Ye Lan'er said.
She swayed gracefully in the desolate world.
Jiang Wang looked at her calmly, "Night girl, you are truly a beauty that captures the heavens. You say, if Guangshu wanted to kill you, how would I choose"
Ye Lan'er retracted her magic, clapped her hands and smiled: "Even more heartless! Truly a pitiful young master!"
“I’m certain we don’t need to use that word between us yet.” Jiang Wang let out a soft sigh: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
Ye Lan'er said, "This time witnessing the fall of the Nandou Hall, didn't Master Jiang feel any emotion"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang asked: "What should I feel"
>
Ye Lan'er said: "I've heard your story many times! Back then in Fengxi Town, if it weren't for Yi Shengfeng's push... you might be a member of the Nandou Hall today, or you might have done nothing and been surrounded by a large army, falling into desperation. Or maybe you did everything, but ultimately had your name taken by Changsheng Jun, dying without a ripple."
Jiang Wangping calmly looked at her: “I am me, I am not Yi Shengfeng, nor Long Bohui, nor anyone from Nandou Palace. Don't assume my life path based on theirs.”
"What a true hero! Indeed, Jiang Wang, you are the number one prodigy in the world! Then—" Ye Lan'er looked at him with inexplicable eyes and asked, "Did Grandmaster Jiang remain indifferent while watching Sanfen Xiangqi Lou suffer heavy casualties in Nanyu"
“What does the Three Fragrance Building have to do with me”
Jiang Wang no longer wanted to waste time, he sprang up and flew away.
Ye Lan's voice sounded softly, "Perhaps—you know someone named 'Miaoyu'"
The deafening roar that echoed through the sky abruptly cut short, and Jiang Wang suddenly turned his head!
