The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh, Second to None

everything has a right or wrong," she said softly with an unyielding gaze.Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!They lived in the best inn on Little Crescent Island,...A human cultivator, blessed by the divine, has single-handedly escaped from the heartland of the demon race, carrying with him a priceless treasure of humanity and a colossal secret hidden within the demon realm... Such an event has never occurred since time immemorial!

This matter possesses earth-shattering significance.

"It could even be called a heroic epic, something to be forever remembered by mankind! Do you know what that means"

>

A voice from within the mirror asked, "Zhuang Gaoxian"

Emperor Taizong, adorned in his full regalia, sat with his back to a mirror, his posture dignified and composed. He calmly asked, "What does it mean"

The voice from the mirror said: "It means you can no longer harm him in any overt or covert way. It means you will never be able to shake his honor. It means what you do had better never be discovered. It means you can only watch him grow up, until one day he comes to draw his sword and kill you!"

"What are you laughing at" the voice in the mirror questioned, "You don't believe he could kill you"

Zhuang Gaoxian lightly brushed his robe, "No, quite the opposite. I see his capabilities more and more clearly. He can survive in such circumstances and accomplish such great feats. He is truly limitless! Dōngzhēn is just a matter of time for him, and there may even be a chance for Yǎndào."

Then why are you laughing

>

"You are right, he should be a hero. But you are also wrong. His becoming a hero doesn't mean I have to wait for death. It means...I need to be even more wise, more martial, more loving towards the people, and strive for national prosperity and peace."

He is a hero, and I am a wise ruler. He shines in the light, and so do I. The more brilliant he becomes, the more he possesses everything, the more he merges into the mainstream of this mundane world, becoming part of the system.....the more he cannot draw his sword against me!

"I haven't done anything wrong. There is nothing I can't say to anyone. What am I afraid of being discovered The truth is what I have said."

"With no evidence, he wants to assassinate the monarch. Could Jing Guo possibly tolerate this Qi State is the first who cannot allow it!"

>

He is not someone he can draw his sword against at will, nor is he an existence that he can casually defile with words. He is not some cult leader or rogue sorcerer.

"As a ruler of a nation, the Way belongs to the sovereign. I represent the authority of Yujing Mountain! And also! Your... friends."

The voice in the mirror fell silent for a moment, before finally saying: "You are right, friend."

The wind was like a knife. Jiang Wang stood in the wind. Yun City was no longer far away.

>

No one would have thought that Qi Wu'an Hou, a renowned figure in both the mortal and demonic realms, upon waking up, wouldn't do what was expected. He didn't return to Qi Ting to resume his duties, nor did he greet the cheers of thousands, enjoying the accolades befitting a hero.

>

Instead, he concealed his whereabouts, traveling alone and quietly toward the Cloud Kingdom. But he lingered just outside the city of Clouds for a long time.

In the end, he did nothing, said nothing. Alone with his sword, he returned to Qi state.

I won't say how apprentice Chu Yao cried his eyes out, nor will I describe how the city of Linzi erupted in chaos. Nor shall I mention how the emperor urgently summoned him.

Upon returning to Linzi, Jiang Wang's first act was to lead Chong Xuan Sheng into the quiet room. His very first words were——

"I want to kill Zhuang Gaoxian!"

Chong Xuan Sheng seemed unsurprised. He merely picked up the teapot and poured tea slowly.

>

In the tranquil sound of running water, he slowly said: "Do you think it was Zhuang Gaoxian who did things in Shuangfeng Valley"

Jiang Wangdao: "Besides him, I can't think of anyone else." "Do you have any evidence" Chong Xuansheng asked.

Jiang Wang said: "I don't need evidence."

Zhong Xuan Sheng pushed the teacup, filled to the brim with water, to Jiang Wang's face and said earnestly, "You need this." Jiang Wang fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I think I'll never have evidence."

Over the years, Desheng Merchant House has spared no effort in gathering clues about the fall of Fenglin City. Even after Chongxuan Sheng officially ascended to his title, he has not hesitated to utilize the intelligence resources of the Chongxuan family.

But no useful information has ever been received.

That thing was done so cleanly, like Zhang Gaoxian washed his face every day.

Therefore, Chong Xuan certainly understood that Zhuang Gaoxian was not the type to leave any handles.

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

He simply stated, "After you fell into the Frostwind Valley, Duke Zuo of Chu exerted pressure, and General the War God himself issued an order... Marshal Xiu, along with Jing Guo Mirror Stage, thoroughly investigated the Civilization Basin."

Even to the very last three palaces, Wu Zhenjun personally went to Xincheng to inquire about Zhuang Gaoxian. This matter was promoted by my uncle... but in the end, it yielded nothing. Zhuang Gaoxian sat comfortably in Zhuang Wanggong Palace, and there was no evidence to suggest that he had ever been to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.

In the absence of concrete evidence, asking a master legal scholar from the School of Fa to investigate in Xincheng can be considered a gamble. It is a last resort.

The murderer inevitably paid a price, perhaps wagering his own reputation. But in the end, he still failed....

Now that Jiang Wang wants to do, Chong Xuan has already done it. He thought that Jiang Wang wouldn't come back again.

Even with the wisdom of someone as profound as Chong Xuan, he could only sit here now and say, “You need evidence.” Jiang Wang could only remain silent.

He was becoming increasingly unable to bear it, but reality told him he could only continue to endure!

Zhong Xuan Sheng took a sip of tea and continued, "The news of your death in the demon realm spread. Officials from the Ministry of Rites submitted a petition stating that the state should hold a funeral for you. The emperor said that the rites for a marquis should not be taken lightly. One must see a person alive and a corpse dead… He put the matter aside for now, and your fiefdom has not been divided."

"What do you think I'm going to tell you" he looked up at Jiang Wang, "The Emperor loves and favors you, has high expectations for you. But the society is his foundation, the country is his heart! If you kill Zhuang Gao Xian, no one in Qi will support you."

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

> Because you challenged the national system. The sovereign is the utmost in name and substance!

Xie Huai'an had captured Guiyi, but he did not dare to kill Xia Jun himself, intending to escort him back to the Tai Temple. At that time, even killing a Yang Jiande required Xiong Tu himself to draw his sword.

Zhuang Gaoxian was innocent of any crime. If it weren't for the war between the two countries, who would have dared to kill him How many heads does Jiang Wang have"

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

"Don't think that because you're a hero of the human race now, with such a high voice, that once you act alone and murder a ruler without any evidence, everything you have will be lost. Jing Guo will definitely hold you accountable, Yu Jing Shan will inevitably execute you, and no one in the world can protect you!" Jiang Wang just pursed her lips.

"While Chong Xuan saw his stubbornness, he calmly said, "I believe you have the courage to go all in. I believe that everything you have won with your own hands, you can let go of. But Jiang Wang, after peeling away Qi State, ask yourself again, can you kill Zhuang Gao Xian now He is a king, a true person of this era, with countless masters under his command and countless hidden means. If it were just you, it would be difficult to even get close to King Zhuang's palace!"

"I know the Master of Bitter Taste protects you very well. Yu Beidou considers himself your friend, and Ye Lingxiao is willing to vouch for your life. This time, you brought back the Zhiwen Bell. Mount Xumi will still owe you a huge favor."

Even if Ku Jue truly controlled Xuankong Temple and Mount Sumeru reversed for him, they wouldn't dare, nor could they challenge the national system and openly assassinate an innocent ruler!

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

> "The tide of humanity surges forth relentlessly, this order has endured for four millennia, you and I are both within it! All that we have cultivated, all that we possess, is also within it! We cannot escape."

To kill Zhuang Gaoxian, there is only one way. That is to strip him of his dragon robe and overturn his dragon throne, and this is not a feat accomplished in a day.

This portly lord gazed intently at his bosom friend, and in a grave voice said, "Wait a little longer."

At this moment, Jiang Wang was surprisingly calm. He smiled serenely and said, "A king of a country indeed, not bad at all."

And this golden body's ability to remain solid and unbreakable is precisely because of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Maple Forest City domain who are eternally asleep. What an irony.

"Indeed, it's not bad," Chong Xuan Sheng said, "When you meet the emperor, be careful not to speak out of turn."

Jiang Wang stood up and simply said, "I understand."

In fact, there was another way to kill Zhuang Gaoxian. But as a friend, Chongxuan Sheng didn't want him to take that path.

The door of the quiet room slowly closed, like this life, closing a possibility.

"Has the Marquis taken his bath" Chilly beside the palanquin, Chuji wore a smile and spoke softly. The Emperor had summoned him urgently.

He personally drove with his secretary, Churchill.

And Jiang Wang was still talking to Chong Xuan Sheng in his quiet room before he was willing to leave. If this matter were to spread, Marquis Wuan would inevitably be suspected of boasting about his own achievements.

Therefore, he proactively spoke up and characterized the incident as Wu'an Hou burning incense and bathing in reverence for the Emperor, which could also be considered a gesture of goodwill.

Jiang Wang replied warmly, "Thank you, father-in-law."

At that moment, a voice rang out from afar: "Marquis Wu'an!"

Jiang Wang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ji Zhao'nan in white robes and silver armor, walking towards him with Wang Yiwu, who had a long face and deep eyes.

He stopped the carriage halfway and said, "General Ji!"

Here is your translated text:

Ji Zhaonan strode forward and, without a word, on this very street, pushed mountains and overturned jade pillars, bowing deeply to Jiang Wang: "For the matter of Frostwind Valley last time, Ji Zhaonan apologizes to Marquis Wuan. It was my lack of foresight and rash actions that led you into danger. If you had not returned, I would never have been able to sleep soundly!"

Jiang Wang stepped out of the carriage in one stride, grasped Ji Zhao Nan's armor, and supported him. He said earnestly: "Our demonic realm's conquests are all within our duties. Let alone that Brother Ji, you merely did what you should have done, even if you truly owed me something... your senior brother would have paid it back for you."

Ji Zhao Nan, who always carries herself with grace and never shies away from responsibility or public opinion, suddenly froze in place. She stared at Jiang Wang in disbelief.

A white robe fluttered like snow, his eyes shone with a dazzling light that was frightening.

It was then that Jiang Wang realized, for some unknown reason, the War God had yet to inform Ji Zhao Nan about Rao Bing Zhang's affairs in the demon realm.

He raised a finger and placed the imprint of Rao Bingzhang's bullet, imbued with his divine awareness, at Ji Zhaonan's brow. "Senior Brother Rao always wielded swords in the demon realm. It was only towards the very end... that he used a gun."

Ji Zhaonan held the Xian Nian tightly in his hand, looking at it over and over again. His face didn't show too many expressions.

Yet, the Kenaan firearm… it rang out without a reason.

He took a deep breath and said to Jiang Wang, "Martial Marquis Wu'an, I owe you a favor. In the future, if there is anything you ask of me, I will not refuse!"

The voice, once so vibrant, was now silent.

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment before saying, "If you were to help me kill someone"

Ji Zhao'nan showed no hesitation: "Based on the single bullet you brought back, anyone who isn't from Qi can be killed."

"How long will this promise last" Jiang Wang asked.

Ji Zhao-n said: "As long as I live, I will always be effective. If I die, there's still my junior brother. If my junior brother can't do it... I still have my senior brother."

If anyone else said they might not be able to do it, Wang Yiwu would definitely beat them up. But when Ji Zhaonan said it, in front of Jiang Wang, Wang Yiwu just stayed silent.

Here are a few translations depending on what you meant by "the content":**Option 1: If the intended meaning was simply the closing paragraph tag:**>

Let me know if you had something else in mind!

Jiang Wang looked deeply at Ji Zhao-nan and said seriously: "No matter what others think or say. Brother Ji, I have never blamed you for fleeing to the demon realm."

After saying this, he got on the palanquin and followed Qiu Chi to meet the emperor. On the long street in front of the Hou Mansion, Ji Zhao stood alone for a long time. Wang Yi opened his mouth: "Spare...brother..."

When Rao Bingzhang's death news was first transmitted, he had not yet formally entered the sect.

He had previously run into Ji Zhaonan, who told him they would be his senior brothers. They even made him demonstrate his boxing skills. He performed a set of Fuhu Changquan (Tiger-Crouching Fist) until it was ruined, only to find out that the so-called supreme secret technique was actually "Fuhu Changquan: True Interpretation".

What is meant by true comprehension, then, is to have a few truly insightful explanations. For example, "This punch should be delivered like this."

As for his impression of Rao Bingzhang, Wang Yiwu's heart was actually vague. He only remembered being very handsome and boisterous. When Ji Zhaonan strode out in a white robe, carrying a gun towards the main street, his voice rang out like gold and iron: "Yiwu, remember this—"

"Ji Zhaonan is just pretending to be carefree, Rao Bingzhang is the only one who is truly unparalleled!!" There are none like him, so let's bid farewell!

Several times in dreams I've heard the final sound!

The palanquin slowly drove into the East Hua Pavilion.

In this semi-formal, semi-private setting, Jiang Wang had met more than once.

The palace lanterns shone brilliantly, and pearls hung like stars. The emperor on the brocade couch rarely put down his book, but he carefully examined Jiang Wang, suddenly exclaiming "Good!"

"The Marquis of Wuan is making progress; he actually waited for you!"

Jiang Wang did not utter any empty platitudes about incense bathing. He politely bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are some things I have yet to understand. After careful consideration, I dared to come before you."

The esteemed emperor said leisurely, "There will be many things you don't understand in the future. But humans should always strive for greater heights. When you stand tall enough, many things won't seem like a big deal."

He spoke, raising his hand in a gesture of invitation to sit, and continued, "Do you think, Marquis Wu'an, that you... stand tall enough"

Han Ling personally moved a chair over.

Jiang Wang lowered his eyes to look at his boots, sitting on the edge of the bench: "They're not high enough, but I already know it's cold."

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

The emperor said, "This answer is cautious, but it lacks some vigor! You are young, Bo Wang Hou, how come you have such an early sense of decline You disappoint me, a heaven's pride!"

This is a serious accusation.

Jiang Wang supported his knees with both hands and said, "My minister is willing to die a hundred times over for your life. I know the value of my own life, and that's why I am so terrified. It wasn't taught to me by Bo望侯. I beg Your Majesty to see through this."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating he was dismissing the matter. He then said, "I've been waiting for you for five months. You certainly surprised me."

He leaned forward slightly. "Today, in this Dong Hua Ge, there are no outsiders. Tell me, what reward do you desire"

"Jiang Wang spoke simply and sincerely: 'My safe return is entirely due to Your Majesty's protection. My heart is filled with gratitude. I truly owe my life to you.' "The emperor raised a finger, pointing at him. "Don't be so insincere!"

"Jiang Wang reluctantly continued, “Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, I have everything I could ever want, so I have no desires…” The emperor pointed with his finger again. "Insincere!"

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

Jiang Wang resolutely stood up, his spine straight as iron. He proclaimed in a voice like gold and jade: "I seek the true way of enlightenment, I seek to become invincible like a true immortal, I seek to shatter the barriers within my heart, I seek to fulfill my desires in this life!" sought out several fellow disciples from the Daoist academy. They came to my door. To be honest, at that time they were all just at the level of wandering cultivators, and I could have easily expelle...
