Chapter Forty-One: Shackled

eate powerful beings in the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm that don't exist in the real world If they truly created them, would we be able to discover them"As is widely known, all participants in the Illusory R...During their time in Linzi, after the conclusion of the duel with Lei Zhanyan, many factions held back their ambitions because Gongzhu Jiang Wuyou, the head of Huaying Palace, personally recruited them.

Jiang Wang didn't know how many forces were interested in him.

As for the recruitment of Hua Ying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou, he thought it was very normal. After all, as early as Qixing Valley, Yangxin Palace Master Jiang Wuxie had already offered extremely favorable conditions to recruit him first.

Therefore, Jiang Wang didn't have a deep understanding of his current position in Qi.

When he was in the county, he didn't even dare to say hello more than once, and slipped away quietly. He was afraid that because of his fraudulent behavior as a suspended worker, those bigwigs in the system of green cards would dislike him.

But now, everyone in the city was inviting him out. Yue Leng was just as "kind" to him before, which was enough for him to realize how popular he was in Qi State.

He thought for a moment, and not wanting to refuse Yue Leng's kindness, immediately bowed and said, "Then Jiang Wang thanks the God of Capture."

Now rushing back to Linzi is just choosing a random national treasury secret art, at most it's just slightly manipulating Xuan Sheng, which can make the random choice lean towards the better ones, but it's not very meaningful.

Yue Leng now proposes to teach on his behalf, think about it, it must be a secret technique of the Legalist school. It can further bind Jiang Wang and Qing Pai together. After all, at least one-third of the people in Daqi Qing Pai cultivate Legalist methods.

Although Jiang Wang had no plans to switch to the Fa family, the secret arts personally taught by Yue Leng were probably not bad.

Therefore, from any angle you consider it, he has no reason to refuse unless he wants to firmly sever ties with the green card, and absolutely refuses to continue as a green card head.

Moreover, accepting Yue Leng's kindness also has one benefit: it can make that Lin Youxie more obedient and less likely to suspect people without reason.

Jiang Wang made a decisive decision, and Yue Leng was also very straightforward. He immediately passed down the internal skill of the Legalist school on the spot.

It was the same chain that seemed to be generated from the void, which he had already demonstrated in his battle with Yin Guan.

Called "Prison Body," it is one of the ten chains renowned for their formidable power among the Legalists' arsenal.

It was originally a technique of the Outer Court Realm level, but Yue Leng simplified it and changed the way it was used, allowing it to match the battles of the Inner Mansion Realm.

However, compared to the shackles, Jiang Wang was actually more interested in that seemingly towering cast-iron black pillar, but he knew it was impossible for him to have it.

After the church chained Jiang Wangqiu, Yue Leng pointed out some details and then left.

As for the state treasury secret art that Jiang Wang deserved, he would take it on his behalf. Whether to give it to his juniors or trade it with someone else was all Yue Leng's own business, and had nothing to do with Jiang Wang anymore.

Of course, Yue Leng made concessions, but this was essentially just a transaction, nothing more than that. There were no emotional factors involved.

Jiang Wang accepted Yue Leng's kindness and decided to temporarily join the Qingpai team, taking advantage of the benefits. However, this doesn't mean he will stay in the Qingpai system permanently. Based on his current understanding, the highest position a Qingpai captain can reach is that of a Beiyamen Duwei.

Although the position of Northern Palace Captain was very important and with a lot of room for advancement, Jiang Wang believed he didn't have Zheng Shi's ability to harmonize various factions and firmly grasp Emperor Qi's trust.

This is just a placeholder for a paragraph.

He glanced at the sentry post in the distance, then Jiang Wang changed direction and headed southwest towards Qi Guo.

The merchant caravan to Rong Guo has already returned, and he has no need to run another trip to Rong Guo just for show. He might as well go directly to Hanging Sky Temple.

Having reached an understanding with Yue Leng, at least within the Qing Pai, no one should give him any more trouble.

In the Sea of Origin, Jiang Wang had promised Guanyan that he would return his monk's robe to Xukong Temple. However, after returning to Linzi City, one thing followed another, and it got delayed.

Taking advantage of this trip to Yun Guo to see An An, I might as well get everything done at once.

Jiang Wang being alone, naturally there was no reason why he couldn't leave.

To the southwest of Qi State lay a country named "Xu." After annexing Yang State, Qi State's map extended northwestward, protruding like a corner. Starting from Yang land, Xu State was indeed to the southwest. In fact, relative to the entire Qi State, Xu State should have been located in the west.

Judging from the names alone, Xuguo seems to have some relation with Yangguo.

In fact, there is indeed a historical basis for this.

...not only the "Yang" and "Xu" countries.

To the southwest of Qi, there was a country named "Zhao". To the southeast, there was a country named "Chang".

These four countries were originally all part of a single nation that split apart.

Prior to the state of Qi, the eastern hegemon was called "Yang".

Yanggu is said to be the land where the sun rises. The country of Yang, named after this place, demonstrates its grand ambitions.

During its period of greatest prosperity, the state of Yang consolidated control over the Eastern Region and expanded its territory in all directions. To the northwest, it reached the boundless desert sands. To the southwest, its armies pushed as far as Jianfeng Mountain, which is now within the borders of Xia Country. To the west, it ventured into the Central Region, vying for dominance with the state of Jing.

It is a pity that all things flourish and then fade. The imperial dynasty collapsed overnight, and its grand achievements became empty.

The entire country was divided into nine separate nations, known as the Nine Nations of the Rising Sun at the time.

>

All of them can be considered to be born from the same source.

They all claim to be descendants of the main branch, but in reality, they are at most just side branches.

The real bloodline of the emperor's family of Dayangguo has long been wiped out by themselves.

With the rise of the State of Qi later on, Emperor Wu's revival, and the decisive dominance established by the Hegemony of Qi Xia, the State of Qi became the undisputed hegemon of the Eastern Region. The State of Yang gradually faded into oblivion.

And the "Nine Countries at Dawn" of that time now only has four countries left.

Speaking of which, among the former "Nine Countries of Sunrise," Yang Country was the most powerful, holding the largest share of Dayong Country's legacy. That's why it could directly use "Yang" as its name.

It was precisely this that made Qi most wary. Over many years, they were gradually consumed until finally swallowed whole.

The Xukong Temple's Buddhist land is located in the south of the Xu country.

After entering the country of Xu, in a small town, Jiang Wang accidentally encountered a beast tide.

Looking at that utterly unreasonable ferocious beast, he actually felt a little out of place.

After spending too long in the peaceful state of Qi, I almost forgot what other countries were like.

Jiang Wang drew his sword to help the townspeople defend their village, but he didn't follow the beast's tracks to destroy its lair.

He protects the townsfolk, and he might receive gratitude. If he eradicates the beast nest, he'll only invite pursuit.

By now, he knew what a monster meant to a small nation. It was the blood of countless innocents, but also an indispensable resource.

The rescued townspeople were immensely grateful and pressed the savior for his name, saying they wanted to build a shrine in his honor.

Jiang Wang left in silence without a word.

He wanted to tell them that the existence of those beasts was tacitly permitted, even encouraged, by the rulers of their country.

But will things change after being informed Can this only leave ordinary people in despair

So he ended up saying nothing, and therefore couldn't accept those thanks.

It seems like all the powerful cultivators in the world share a tacit understanding, concealing the origin of the ferocious beasts from their subjects.

Later practitioners, some knew it earlier, some later. But in the end, they all maintained that terrible "understanding."

Whether willingly or unwillingly, in the end they all just solidified into a solitary back. The formidable Dou Yuemei, who had scaled Mount Yuheng after conquering five successive peaks, became lost and disoriented upon discovering the truth, stumbling down Mount Yuheng with her spirit shattered.

Ginger once saw this as the greatest injustice.

But why, he had become a member of the "understanding" after all. He asked himself.

But he had no answer.

As for where the true essence of the world lies, I believe it's reflected in its customs and traditions, its food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It also lies in its history and legends.ed, alone!Feeling the pain and tearing sensation spreading from the dragon's spine, Shula's fist mark still burned hot on his chest.
