Chapter Eighty-Six: Hanging Like a Forest

r another.But they didn't even see Jiang Wang make a move, all the swords in his hand had already been broken.Jiang Wang walked over the city gate, past the astonished soldiers guarding it, and contin...The City Lord's Mansion of Jiacheng.

The master of Jiacheng, Mu Nan, the chairman of the Xi family, was sitting at the head.

The man's temples were streaked with white, and his bearing was majestic.

Between her eyebrows, one can still faintly see the charm of her youth.

Back then, he must have been a handsome man.

I was holding a folded paper in my hand, on which it read:

Jiang Wang was born in Fengxi Town, Qingshe County, Zhuang Kingdom. He studied the Dao at Fenglin City Dao Institute. He has one younger sister who lives at Lingxiao Pavilion in Yun Kingdom. Note: Fenglin City was destroyed during the White Bone Dao Uprising in December of the third year of Daoli, and remains trapped between the underworld and the mortal world.

In a splendid brocade robe, Xi Zi Chu stood at the front, eloquently speaking: "...The 'cause and effect' of the Tianqing stone vein, he already knew clearly. The losses suffered by the Chongxuan family, with my compensation plus his own harvest, could be recovered seven or eight times over. In this way, he would have no reason to stay in the mine any longer. We can take this opportunity to thoroughly cleanse the influence of the Chongxuan family and completely control this region. This is just right for..."

He paused and then changed the subject: "As for Hu Shaomeng, this man won't be able to hide anything from his son. It's always been that way, even if he joins the Fishing Sea Pavilion now. Whatever he schemes, it will ultimately belong to his son."

"What if..." Xi Munan rubbed his hand, saying softly: "Jiang Wang doesn't leave"

Why doesn't he leave

"Sometimes, overconfidence becomes arrogance." Xi Munan lightly tapped his son: "Just when you were playing with women, the heads of those five families had already safely returned to Jia City."

Xi Zi Chu pondered for a moment, then said: "I still underestimated Jiang Wang. But it doesn't matter, he left those people's lives, nothing more than to express dissatisfaction with his son, or take the opportunity to extort money. It's all trivial matters, not affecting the overall situation. The son just needs to raise the compensation amount, some external things are nothing compared to the price."

Shi Munan nodded secretly. This child was indeed smart. Combining the information he had received before, he could guess Jiang Wang's actions eight or nine times out of ten.

But, it's still a bit too conceited, and therefore it ignores some things.

"Haven't you figured it out yet" Xi Munan shook his head. "He won't leave the Hu Mining Company."

“Why The son couldn't figure it out. On the cusp of intense competition between Zhong Xuan Sheng and Zhong Xuan Zun, what reason would he have to waste time here”

"Is it possible that he has seen through your and Hu Shao Meng's intentions Just as you can guess Hu Shao Meng, he too could immediately sense your awareness and rush back to Qingyang Town. Could Jiang Wang, as the chief disciple of Chong Xuan Sheng, not see through you"

Xi Zi Chu confidently shook his head: "Among those I've seen, the most intelligent son is not among them."

“Is the ‘look, listen, ask, and touch’ method of Dong Wang Gu really so miraculous Or is it that your learning is lacking”

As Xi Munan spoke, he tossed the paper note in his hand to Xi Zi Chu.

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

"The ancient demon of White Bone Dao, the blind-eyed Lu Yan, has been scheming for many years. Du Ruhui, the cunning old fox of the Zhuang Kingdom, devised a scheme of 'disharmony among generals' and deceived the world for countless years. When these two figures clash, behind them lie the white bone deities from the underworld and the entire Zhuang Kingdom. The fall of Fenglin City was a foregone conclusion. How dare you underestimate Jiang Wang after he survived such a disaster"

"He was one of the victors of the Tianfu Secret Realm. He emerged victorious along with Chongxuan Sheng, Li Longchuan, and Wang Yiwu!"

"Nan Yao City, he overpowered the eleventh prince of Da Qi, Jiang Wu Yong. The famous swordsmith, Lian Que, almost broke with him and his family because of it. Chong Xuan Sheng stood up to Jiang Wu Yong for him without hesitation."

Xi Munan sat there, looking at Xi Zi Chu with some disappointment: "Zi Chu, let's not talk about the front. You know these two things behind you. After only a few years in Dongwang Valley, how can you become oblivious to the heroes of the world"

Xi Zi Chu lowered his head: “Father. Son knows he was wrong.”

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

He quickly raised his head again: "Where did father learn about his background"

Don't be fooled by the few lines in this message, the power behind it is terrifying. To find out someone's origins in Chu from their time in Qi, that requires immense influence.

At least the Xi family can't do it.

This consistent shrewdness pleased Shi Munan, but he would never show his approval of his son. He simply said, "Zhongxuan's family."

Xi Zi Chu nodded. "It seems Chong Xuan Sheng really values this Jiang Wang. Otherwise, Chong Xuan Zun wouldn't have passed the message to us. In that case, I'm afraid we can't drive Jiang Wang away, let alone kill him. It would be too easy to be seen as taking sides. We can't get involved in Chong Xuan's whirlpool. We are far away in Yang Guo, there is no benefit to winning. If we lose, the disaster for the family will come at any moment."

"The things you and Hu Shaomeng are looking at, are you giving up on them" Xi Munan asked intentionally.

Compared to the Xi family's centuries-long existence, other things are insignificant.

“That's the reason. However...” Xi Munan said, “We can't kill Jiang Wang, but we must drive him away.”

Xi Zi Chu bitterly smiled: "As you said, Jiang Wang has made up his mind not to leave the Hu's mine. Since we can't kill him, how can we get him to leave"

“No.” He reacted immediately. “I’ve already given up on that thing. Why do we still have to get rid of him”

Xi Zi Chu looked at Xi Mu Nan: "Father, are you hiding something from me"

>

Xi Munan evaded the questions behind, only saying: "We can't kill him doesn't mean others can't."

Just then, a man resembling a master walked quickly in and leaned into Xi Muran's ear, saying a few words.

Xi Zi Chu recognized him; it was Master Liu, the most trusted advisor to his father. Although he held no official position, in the entire city lord's mansion, he was second only to Xi Mu Nan.

He had doubts in his mind, but he wouldn't ask his father for answers in front of this person.

After a few words from Mr. Liu, he stepped aside.

Xi Mu Nan remained calm and told his son, "There's been an incident at a restaurant in the south of the city. You go and handle it. Remember what I told you."

Xi Zi Chu glanced at Liu Shiye and simply said, "Yes."

When I arrived at the restaurant where the incident happened, it had already been cordoned off by the city guards.

Xi Zi Chu discovered that the city guard soldiers standing outside the tavern all had grim expressions, as if they had been frightened by something.

In the distance, on the ground, you can see vomit.

There is probably something nasty, terrifying in the restaurant...

Xi Zichu observed the outside for a moment, then walked into the restricted area through the passage that had been purposely cleared for him.

Stepping into the restaurant, even though I had mental preparation beforehand, my footsteps still faltered for a moment.

He saw—

The whole restaurant was in disarray, tables and chairs overturned, with broken cups and plates scattered amidst a pool of blood.

In the center of the hall, a large iron pot was suspended over a roaring fire.

Above the iron pot...

Naked human corpses, hanging like trees.

Each has its flaws.

Some have been cut almost in half.

Some saw bare bones.

Through the drifting white mist, one can faintly see...

Half a human hand, floating in an iron pot.ators on Floating Island be able to encircle and kill the White Elephant KingOf course, it can be done if there is enough time!But Dante Ching Shan cannot attempt this.He couldn't guarantee that Bai X...
