Chapter 112: Imperial Edict: You Shall Be Punished
ey were only between him and Zhao Ruocheng, he wouldn't hesitate. But after all, his friendship with Li Jianqiu, or even Huang Ajian, wasn't at that level.Li Jianqiu patted the long sword at his waist...On the city wall, the flag representing Jiacheng fluttered in the wind.
The people of Qi prized purple.
The State of Yang initially revered the color red, with the sun as its totem. However, after being annexed by the State of Qi, its customs gradually changed.
Now purple is also considered valuable mainstream.
There are still a few places that retain traditional customs. Jiaceng is one of them.
The city flag of Jiaceng was red with carp embroidery at the corners and a sun script "Jiaceng" character in the center—now you can only see the use of ancient Yang script in places like these flags.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whether people are willing or not, the entire Yangguo officialdom has already been implementing the Qi National script.
The fish in Jiasheng Lake are fresh and delicious, with carp said to have the potential to transform into dragons. The carp pattern on the flag not only symbolizes gathering good fortune but also proclaims the ambition of this city.
Viewed from afar, the red banners were like blood-stained flags.
In those days, the ancestors of the Xi family truly poured their blood and sweat to lay the foundation for what is now Jiacheng. After several generations of hard work, Jiacheng finally achieved the prosperity that Jiang Wang saw for the first time.
>
At this time, Jiang Wang stood alone outside the city gate of the inner city, with one person and one sword encircling the city.
But those besieging the city are not Jiang Wang
...but the plague raging everywhere.
Those unseen, silently contagious...
... those that are seen, and died in torment...
The plague is like a besieging army.
On the city tower, Jiacheng's chairman Mu Nan stood with his hands clasped.
The army has surrounded the city, and cries of "four sides besieged" echo through the air.
Today, I hear the war drums...
Who is it from that you came, my dear

Jiang Wang raised his head: “I ask the Lord Mayor, is killing you enough to sacrifice the red flag”
A moment of silence.
>
Xi Mu Nan's visit was to see Jiang Wang's attitude, to be precise, he wanted to know the attitude of Jiang Wang's backer, the Chong Xuan family.
He hadn't expected Jiang Wang to be so resolute. There was no room for compromise at all.
But after all, he was Xi Munan, the master of Jiaceng. After a moment of silence, he pointed his halberd downward.
Since words are useless, there is no need to speak.
Now that it has come to this, it's a matter of life and death. Xi Munan won't allow anyone to underestimate the courage of the Xi family.
His extraordinary guard behind him, they descended like rain, swift as arrows loosed!

Fifteen extraordinary cultivators leaped down from the high wall, forming a long arrow.
With two Transcending Heaven Realm cultivators as the arrowhead, four Zhou Tian Realm cultivators as the arrow feathers, and nine Meridian Wandering Realm cultivators as the arrow shaft.
In an instant, it accelerated to the extreme, all its power merging together into this gigantic and incredibly sharp arrow!
No matter how small a country, it is still a nation. No matter how weak a city, it is still a city.
Of course, there are also the arts of war and military strategies.
The combined power of fifteen extraordinary cultivators is enough to fight across ranks.
In fact, the most terrifying thing about a soldier's cultivation, and also the foundation of their standing in the world, is the art of killing on the battlefield. Among them, the art of battle formations is the most well-known.
On the battlefield, super battle formations composed of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, are capable of destroying cities and nations. Ordinary beings can overcome the extraordinary!
On the battlefield, countless extraordinary cultivators fell to ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, in the eyes of true military strategists, there is no distinction between heaven and earth.

This elite squad of fifteen extraordinary cultivators adopted the battle formations passed down through generations by the Xi family.
This method originated from one of the fundamental battle formations in military strategy, the formation of spears and arrows. It is particularly effective in causing heavy casualties.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But, even within the Tongtian Realm, there is a chasm-like difference.
These two Transcending Heaven cultivators were just ordinary Transcending Heaven experts.
While Jiang Wang was among the small group of people who ventured towards the limits of the Transcending Heaven Realm.
Fifteen extraordinary cultivators forged “arrows” plunged into a sea of flowers.
The mighty momentum stirred, the sea of flowers churned, and the blossoms withered and bloomed anew.
A sea of complex flowers obscures their position, making this "arrow" a headless fly. They are veterans of the battlefield, knowing that in such situations, separation is even more dangerous. Therefore, they become even more immersed in the art of war, merging into a single entity.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That was the fireworks mixed in, constantly colliding with the "arrows" and exploding continuously.
However, once an arrow leaves the bowstring, its momentum ceases and its sharpness dulls.
This is a placeholder for text that was originally in another language. It has been replaced with English to show the translation.
A strong crossbow at the end of its power cannot pierce a Lu striped cloth.
Jiang Wang struck out with his sword, cleaving the sun, moon, stars and rivers. It pierced through the heavens, shattering the enemy formation, scattering their "arrow" attack, and even cutting through the flower sea he had set up himself!
Fifteen extraordinary cultivators dispersed in mid-air, while at this moment, Xi Mu Nan, who was about to attack together, had just fallen.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Jiang Wang looked upward and, in midair, swung his sword horizontally again.
One sword, mountains and rivers!
The trend is unstoppable, and its momentum is overwhelming.
Xi Munan was about to be killed, but he was slashed back onto the city wall by a sword!
And Jiang Wang, seizing the opportunity, turned back. His longing gaze swept across like a dragon in water, lightning-fast and powerful, breaking through left and right with one move.
Thirteen consecutive swords!
Jiang Wang held his sword and stomped the ground.
Bang bang bang...
Fifteen bodies plummeted, one after another, for fifteen consecutive cries.
It seemed like a blooming flower, encasing Jiang Wang within its petals.
Each corpse was a petal, and Jiang Wang was like a blossoming flower, raising his head again to meet Xi Munan's gaze.
Flowers blanketed the entire inner city walls, covering both the inside and outside.
The sea of flowers blooms again.
Today's Jiang Wang is even stronger than when he killed the pig bone-faced man.
Such a fine Taoist technique as the Sea of Flowers has only now fully displayed its power, leaving Xi Munan momentarily disoriented, unsure of his whereabouts.
On top of the city gate tower, Xi Munan spread his sleeves wide, a seal appeared in his hand, and he opened his mouth like a great bronze bell, issuing an imperial decree: "A hundred flowers wither!"
This is the seal of the Lord of Jiacheng.

Xi Munan mobilized the entire Jicheng City's power, issuing a decree. Every move, every action, was backed by thousands of blessings.
Comparing the territories of Yang and Zhuang countries, regardless of whether their governments are independent or not. Focusing solely on the local city districts.
The power of the masters of various cities in Yangguo far surpasses that of the city master of Zhuangguo.
Although both countries used the county-city system, and local city lords were like feudal lords with nominal autonomy.
But in the state of Zhuang, under the skillful manipulations of the court both openly and secretly, no city domain had a family capable of operating independently for three generations or more.
When Ru Feng Lin City reached Wei Qi Ji, he was already a new generation of feudal lord.

And the Xi family has lived in Jiaceng for several generations, this place has become a kingdom within a kingdom.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This kind of situation is not unique to Yangguo.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is also why the Xi family is so opposed to the Yangguo court interfering in Jiacheng's affairs, because it relates to their own interests!
And the advantage of this business model for the Xi family lies in their successful integration of Jiac City with the Xi family.
One such manifestation is the ability to truly mobilize the entire power of Jiacheng!
At first, Wei Qiji died in battle at the city lord's mansion. It wasn't that he didn't want to mobilize the city's power, but he couldn't.
He didn't rule Fenglin City for very long, and the power was essentially bestowed upon him by Zhuang Ting. However, the Wushengw Mie Formation cut off all connection between him and Zhuang Ting.

But in Jia City, Xi Mu Nan, holding the Seal of the Lord of Jia City, with the power of the city realm bolstering him, issued a single command and the flowers gradually withered.
Jiang Wang's figure, holding a sword, was clearly imprinted in his eyes.
The sea of flowers has perished! And it will be impossible to revive it for a short time.
Xi Munan's face turned ashen, his heart filled with hatred, and he commanded again, "You deserve to be punished!"
Boom boom boom!
Thunder rumbles on flat ground.
A clear sky suddenly crackled with thunder, and the sound of it struck Jiang Wang directly.
Fireworks bloom.
Jiang Wang unleashed seven bursts of flames in the blink of an eye.
And then, they lined up and charged towards the thunder with a vertical formation.
But even a breath’s time couldn't hold back the tide, fireworks exploded, thunder boomed.
A mass of entwining python snakes enveloped Jiang Wang.

The rattan snake coiled around the wall.
>Its blooms opened on its surface, but withered as soon as they appeared.
The entire rattan snake wrapped around the wall crumbled!

It all happened so fast that the sounds of the seven firecrackers exploding and the vine serpent collapsing merged together, yet were still drowned out by the thunder!
