Jiang Wang received a gift from a friend on Julei Street, in Du Kang City.
It was a box made of ironwood, with an intricate lock on the lid inscribed with the mark "Shimen Li". With a gentle push, the lock sprang open and the lid swung wide.
The floor was covered in red silk, and on it lay a long, slender dragon's beard arrow.
An attached note with the arrow read:
"I heard you've fallen into the depths of Heaven's Dao, unable to extricate yourself. Just recently, I was bored and idly figured out a move called "Suppressing Sea Style." It emphasizes the word 'suppression,' suppressing the sea within your heart, suppressing your divine intent. I wonder if it would be useful to you!"
"If it's useful, great. If not, let's just forget about it."
>
“This arrow style will certainly be a secret transmission from Shimen, exclusive to the Destroying City Marquis Mansion, not given to outsiders! Unless...hehehe!”
There's also writing on the back of the note.
"It's written: 'Don't be delusional and wishful. I mean, unless you kneel down and offer tea to my grandmother, letting her recognize you as her grandson-in-law. Who would she spoil more than you Even then, all the inheritance would be given away!'"
If Chong Xuan Pang wanted to keep something secret, he could absolutely make sure not a single word leaked. Conversely, if he wanted people who "could possibly be of help" to know, he could also make it seem like natural and necessary information.

Jiang Wang couldn't blame Chong Xuan Sheng for anything, after all, it was just a long time since they last met. Zhan Xin saw this and couldn't help but chuckle.
About the memory of Linzi, in these leaping words, it becomes vivid, as if it leaps onto paper.
The original "Linzi Four Young Masters" were also notorious—naturally, Heavy Xuan and Xie Baoshu's instigation and behind-the-scenes promotion couldn't be left out.
“Those renowned figures, such as Chong Xuan, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, and Jiang Wang, are like chronic illnesses in a person's body: greed, licentiousness, extravagance, and cruelty. They are called the thieves of Linzi.”

The four of them never actually did anything substantial in terms of bullying men or women. However, they ran rampant in Linzi and never gave way to anyone. Those so-called "villains" were all those who had been "named and shamed" by them, "picked on," and "beaten up."
During his youth, when Jiang Wang carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, he too had been a dashing figure, riding high and living freely in the capital. In those dark days, there was a glimmer of light like that.

Looking back, this country bumpkin from afar, accompanied by three top-tier young masters, never felt out of place... At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, the emotions of that young man were deliberately and unintentionally taken care of.
That young man named "Jiang Wang," his stubbornly held pride, was carefully placed amidst the bustling splendor of the Eastern Capital.
>
Shouldn't those emotions cherished by friends and loved ones be wiped away by heaven
After traveling for a long time in Changguo and smelling countless kinds of wine, he remained unmoved. But at this moment, after reading this note, he suddenly felt like having a drink — with his friends.
But not today.
On a bright and sunny day, when one's mind is free from worries.
The rain in the anglerfish's domain has never stopped.
When the majestic figure of Ba Xia was summoned, the raindrops became even more distinct, striking his armor like shards of jade.
On the back of a giant tortoise, the young prodigies of Jing and Qi clashed outside the tomb formed by the shape of the Fishing Sea Tower, in front of the stele erected by the sunken sword.
Murderous intent condensed in the rain.
Li Longchuan had never experienced being trampled upon in his life, but even with his whole body paralyzed, his handsome face pressed against the giant tortoise's shell, he did not show shame.
"Wang Kun."

He, on the other hand, raised his eyes very calmly and looked into Wang Kun's eyes, as if he was the one in a position of power: “Before a person does something, they must think clearly about whether they can bear the consequences. Before I drew my bow, I had already anticipated the worst possible outcome, and I am willing to accept it all. If you, like me, truly understand what you are doing—then take my head.”
Wang Kun can say—— You made the first move, you had the murderous intent first. Qi State has no reason to blame me.
Wang Kun also believes that the central Da Jing Empire can absolutely protect him.
But he was forced by Li Longchuan's such gaze, as if an arrow was pointing at his own eyes.
He gripped the military saber, its blade flashing again and again toward Li Longchuan's throat, only to be stopped each time.
Li Longchuan's pride was truly infuriating, especially his condescending gaze and his chin held high. One couldn't help but want to slash his face and gouge out his eyes.
Ming Ming, despite being surrounded by swords and soldiers, showed no awareness or demeanor of a prisoner about to be executed!
Where is the Li clan of Shimen truly remarkable
>
What "Guardian of the Sea" It's just that there are no tigers in the mountains, so monkeys become kings. The war in the Netherworld is over, and you still act arrogantly there
>
Wang Kun knelt down, pressing the blade against Li Longchuan's neck and slowly increasing the pressure until a red line appeared: "I understand what I'm doing, but do you understand what you're saying"
"Heh heh heh..." Li Longchuan grinned, his teeth already stained red with blood. He had truly no power to resist. His bones were broken countless times, long since numb from the pain.
The power of the Overlord, is not something a mere nascent Divine Paragon like him can wield.
But he still smiled brightly: "I say, if you're brave enough, go ahead and kill me."
Jing Guo's Operation Peace of the Sea, is an action aimed at the Hai clan. It stands on the foundation of racial righteousness and inherently carries a correct stance.
Qi had no reason to sabotage the Plan for Peace at Sea—they couldn't claim they were doing it to prevent a challenge to their maritime hegemony by stopping Jing from making moves against the sea tribes.
If we were to set such a precedent, all the battlefields of the races would be in chaos. The existing order of humanity would collapse directly, and it would enter a period of senseless and unreasonable warfare.
But if Li Longchuan died here, the Qi people's reasons would exist.
Even disregarding the national level, Lord Destroying City's insanity alone is enough to justify this.
Wang Kun held the knife in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and in the end, he did not strike.
"I won't kill you."
He slowly sheathed his sword, feeling the power of life and death over a young and renowned general during this process: “A person like you truly shouldn’t have died so quietly.”
"Tie him up." he finally said.
A soldier with the name Dou'er seized and dragged Li Longchuan, who was already unable to get up by himself.

Raindrops tapped on the tortoise shell, washing the shapes of those islands even clearer.
Standing alone before the sword stele, Wang Kun's face was lost in shadow.
The giant turtle, originally restless and agitated, had closed its eyes at some point.
The sun rises in the east and the rain falls in the west. On the platform at the edge of the world, the weather is fine.
The Tianya Pavilion, where "one gazes endlessly at the horizon", has a history of only about four thousand years. However, it has become the most important landmark for the nearby islands and is seen by many sailors as "the end of civilization."
The foremost real person of the Central Plains has descended here today.
He stood alone at the edge of the steep cliff, arms crossed, silently watching the statue of Diao Long Ke for a long time.
Correspondingly, the leader of Zhenhai Alliance also stood on the Tiantya Platform for a long time.
Even today, the summer corpse army of Qi Jiu Zhong stationed on Jueming Island, representing the Daqi Empire, still serves as the bulwark for the sea frontier. Qian Wen, the commander of the Summer Corpses, has also gradually perfected his command of this formidable army during this period of garrisoning. More importantly, he represents the Donglai Qi family and returns to the highest political stage in Qi State.
However, the current leader of the Zhenhai Alliance is not Qi Wen, nor could it be someone from Diaohui Lou or Yanggu. It is Ye Hanyu, the Minister of State Affairs.
It was only later that people realized that the elegy he had written for the Dragon Guests back then was actually Qitianzi's test—a way to verify his strategic ideas about the offshore islands, his arguments, and his boundaries.
In many people's perception, Ye Hanyu was a favored official and close confidant of the king in the state of Qi. However, he was only someone who wrote official documents for the emperor, "possessing flowery prose but lacking the spirit of a true scholar."
His writing is excellent, his calligraphy superb. Few in the world can match him. He has many imitators and for a time, there was a trend that he would become the leader of the Eastern literary world.
But starting from some point, the voices criticizing him grew louder.
Perhaps he wrote an article praising Emperor Taizong's act of deposing the prince as "the ancient sage emperor's way"
>
Perhaps he wrote "The Treatise on Clay Buddhas" and became the vanguard for Emperor Qi's campaign to purge Buddhism's influence within his realm
In short, he once became a synonym for "bootlicking" or "flattery".
His "Lungongyuan" style and the "Zhangtai Liu" script were also criticized as lacking backbone and having their spines removed. Literati shunned discussing them, considering them "lowly."

But he was sent to the offshore islands, taking on the role of leader of the Coastal Alliance and formally overseeing Qi's overseas affairs—"All matters related to the coastal region were handled perfectly. His meticulous attention to detail, both internally and externally, was truly impressive."
Among the court and the people, there are many voices of praise.
As he wrote in his letter to Xing Yun, the magistrate of Pingyuan County - “Since I left the capital, my reputation has grown, while Ye Heshui has not uttered a single word differently. It shows that there are many blind followers in the world, and those who are targeted are not guilty, but only awake.”

Even with the Xia Chi army already stationed there, Qi State's decision to transfer Ye Hanzhu further demonstrates their strategic importance placed on the coastal islands. Of course, the issue of Qi Wen, newly appointed as commander, struggling to assert his authority also played a role at the time.

At this moment, the leader of the Zhenhai Alliance, dressed in a water-ink long robe with bamboo branches hanging like shadows, stood beside the giant statue of the Diling Guest, letting the sea breeze blow through his long hair without saying a word.
It seems that the series of actions Jing Guo had taken in the nearby islands suddenly came as a complete surprise to him, or perhaps he simply didn't care at all.
His personally penned elegy was inscribed on the stone tablet and placed at the base of the statue, becoming "words for a thousand years."
The brushstrokes are truly beautiful. Even without reading the content of the article, it resembles a vibrant spring scene.
Lou Yuejing quietly looked at the statue of Diling Guest for a long time. The tiger embroidered on his robe seemed to be about to pounce in the wind. At this moment, she suddenly said: "Diling Guest is the descendant of the ancient emperor's empress, and speaking of it, he is from the same bloodline as our Da Jing royal family."
Ye Hate Shui said nothing. But she lifted the corner of her mouth and smiled.
If the descendants of the ancient emperors were to be listed and depicted as a family tree, the deceased Xuanyuan Shuo would undoubtedly be in the center, forming a straight line from the Yu clan to him, spanning history.
That was the most clear-cut bloodline inheritance.
...The great emperor clan, which called themselves "Descendants of the Heavenly Emperor"... would certainly have to search for a long time in the family tree next to them. They'd even look in places that shouldn't count at all, and if your eyesight wasn't good, you probably wouldn't find them.
Of course, Ji Yusu, as the first emperor to establish a national system, was also the closest person in history to the title of "Emperor of All Under Heaven." He was willing to respect the surname Xuanyuan and trace back the bloodline of the ancient Emperor. The Xuanyuan clan's genealogy would not drive such a figure out.
Therefore, although convoluted, Jing Guo Ji's clan, as a descendant of the imperial family, is still listed among the descendants of the Yu clan.
However, the exact extent of his recognition can be seen in the relationship between Xuan Yuan Shu and the Jing Guo royal family - after all, Xuan Yuan Shu once helped Ji Yanqiu, the ancestor of Yang Guo who was a descendant of the Qing Emperor.
Had it not been for Xuan Yuan Shou, he would never have acted under the title of an ancient emperor. At the beginning, Ji Yu Su, who claimed to be a descendant of the ancient empress, would have been embarrassed for at least three to five years.
As for the intricate connections between Diaolou and Jingguo later on, that is a story for another time. Throughout it all, Diaolou maintained absolute independence and never once saw fit to invoke any imperial edicts from Jingguo...
About the building, you probably know what Ye Hantian's smile means. He turned his eyes rather disinterestedly to the stone inscription: "The leader of the Ye League writes with true elegance, but for Xuan Yuan Shou, it lacks weight – Perhaps Qi Ren only needs flowers and brocades."

He looked at Ye Hanyu: "Like this sculpture that only does surface work."
Ye Hen Shui's appearance was not as beautiful as described in words, but she had a unique charm. Facing these impolite words, she still smiled faintly and said: "I wonder what stance the head of the Jingguo Yitong Family, Taiyuan Zhenren of Daluoshan, is taking to speak like this to the people of Qiguo"
The building about-face to the way: "I am for the ancient emperor's blood descendants not resent, for this Jinghai hero sect are not."
Ye Hen Shui raised her sleeve and said in an extremely calm voice, "Need I enumerate the rise and fall of major factions in Zhongyu for Lou Zhenren How many ruthless figures from Jing Guo there have been Throughout the world, people look down on injustice. It's not a new thing. If we were to write a book about it, the seas wouldn't be enough to wash away the ink. Does Lou Zhenren truly not know It seems that even this supposed number one true person of Zhongyu isn't entirely truthful."
"Truth or falsehood, not through words." Lou Yue raised his wide eyes: "Does Lord Ye want to try"
Ye Hanyu laughed and said, "If you want to fight with force, you should go find the ruthless killer. If you want to contend for the title of the world's number one expert, there is Huang Fu in the north, and Qi State has also produced a Jiang Wang. As for me, I am just someone who wields a pen. In terms of writing skills, I can certainly accompany you. But if it comes to physical combat, this humble person cannot compare. Perhaps I should invite Duke Du to move his seat."

Lou You stood arrogantly and said: "Cao is merely one step ahead in proving the Dao. Do you think he can stop me"
Ye Hate Shui spread his hands and said, "Life is not like playing mahjong, it's not about sitting here comparing cards one by one. At present, although the sea storm is huge, Ye has managed to stabilize it. If you don't show respect, I, Dushan alone, am enough!"

"Lord Ye, Lord Ye, you are indeed a meticulous person! As for the affairs of the sea frontier, it is true that they are not beyond your grasp." Lou Yue shook his head slightly: "It's just a pity that you have been sitting in this position for so long, and you have never looked at the seat once. You haven't seen the root of the matter! What material is this chair made of, and why was it created!"
Ye Hanyu smiled and said, “What position does the Master Lou refer to, and what fundamental principle is he talking about”
Lou Yue looked at him and said, "Do you know why the Zhenhai Alliance is called 'Zhenhai'"
"Haigang of Zhenping" Ye Hanyu asked with interest.
"No," Lou Yue said, "It was proposed by the Grand Marshal of my country, Lu Qiu - Nine Sons Suppressing the Sea."
As soon as his words fell, the hand he carried on his back suddenly flipped out, his palm pushing out a chaotic mess —
From that chaotic abyss, monstrous creatures surged forth.
Either baring its teeth like a tiger or thrusting its horns like an ox...its roar rises and falls, shaking the heavens and sea.

The Central Grand Imperial Empire, reigning supreme over the world, has more than one tributary state.
Over the years, Jing Guo has been not only raising turtles in You Guo, but has also cultivated the bloodline of the Nine Sons of the Ancient Dragon Emperor!
