Chapter 138: A Cold Moon, Windless Night, and a Lonely Soul
ment so easy"As he spoke, he turned his head from the reclining chair, just in time to see the old man walk into the courtyard.All of his expressions were withdrawn, his lips pressed together.The fat...On the towering city walls of Yǐng Gē, the moon was dark and the wind was cold.
The heavy, overcast clouds seemed on the verge of collapsing.
A tall figure wearing a mask suddenly appeared behind Zhu Wei, a gravelly voice echoing from beneath the mask: "Want to go to the battlefield of Yongguo"
Throughout history, every magistrate of the Zuo country's criminal investigation department always wore an iron mask. Their true face was never shown to anyone, demonstrating their impartiality.
Wishing alone, I had no turning back. Still gazing at the opposite side of Yǐng Gē City, where Mò Guó lay hidden in the night.
"I don't see the point of staying here."
“His Majesty is engaged in an unprecedented gamble.” The Grand Master stood with his hands clasped, his gaze fixed on the distance: “We must consider not only victory, but also defeat. That is the reason you remain here.”
"I alone shook my head: 'The brilliance of a burning sword is not because it fears to burn.'"
As the Chief of the Imperial Censorate, one of the top five most powerful figures in the entire State of Zhuang, he would never have believed that a disciple from the National Academy would dare to question his words. But if that disciple were Zhu Wei, it seemed entirely reasonable.
This is a supremely arrogant and ostentatious genius.
"You are already brilliant enough, sharp enough."
This is a simple example of an HTML tag.
The Grand Master spoke with a weighty tone, "Zhuge Wei, Duke Du believes that you are capable of shouldering the future of the State of Zhuang. I share that belief as well. But before that…"
"You need to learn to conceal your edge."
>Zhu Wei only pursed her lips and didn't speak.
And in the distant night sky, a figure was flying rapidly towards Yinjiao City.
The wind that blows over Yingge City perhaps also blew over Xinan.
On the deserted streets of Xin'an City, battle continues.
The branches, bristling and reaching out like claws, seem to bring back the glory of past days.
That day, at the Daoist temple in Zhuangguo City, Jiang Wang was attacked by disciples of the White Bone Dao. Dong A, as a disciple, stood up for his fellow students and directly used this unique Dao technique, making those two demons unable to escape. He killed one on the spot and forced another to flee.
The jade cage can be said to have opened Jiang Wang's longing for the Way of Wood, and it is also a scenery that Jiang Wang has traveled all the way and will never forget.
The Taoist arts are still those Taoist arts, and people are still those people.
But now Jiang Wang had transformed from an observer to a challenger.
He was once sheltered by this esoteric art, but now he is blocked by it.
Life is like a huge joke.

Time and place change.
Jade lattice covers the long street, two-world ruler leans against the bright moon.
Jiang Wang's sword couldn't advance an inch before the iron ruler. The jade cage repelled all other forces, and the sea of flames was extinguished as soon as it opened.
As for the contest of Mùxíng's Yuanli, he is now far inferior to Dǒng .
Dong'a is the most adept at controlling subtle energy.
At first, Jiang Wang's cultivation was slow, hindered by the foundation laying stage. It was Dong A who taught him the Kong Yuan Jue, allowing him to accelerate his progress and avoid being stuck at the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Foundation Array for too long.
But at this moment, Jiang Wang only felt anger.
All his emotions, all his hatred, were poured into this sword of longing. Dong Aoming knew why he had come, but dared to question him...whether it was right!
Just because one becomes the Deputy Minister of Zhuang Country, does that mean they are right Does wielding the "Two Realms Ruler" - a tool for punishing evil - equate to justice itself
Jiang Wang hated Dong A for being an accomplice, indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Fenglin City. And he was furious that...Dong A seemed not to care about this at all, as if he didn't think he had done anything wrong!
Dao Yuan was burning with madness.
His right hand, clutching the Chang'e. His left hand pressed backward with utmost determination, pressing out a mass of gray-white decay and ruin.
The decaying wood decree of the Inner Palace's realm levels!
He stole into the city of Wangjiang to forcibly take the withered wood decision from the Wangjiang City Daoist Academy, just to deal with Dong A in the future. However, because of the sudden change in circumstances, this battle was brought forward to tonight.
Here is the translated text:

Even after trading two secret techniques, he couldn't deny the fact that he had taken advantage of others. That's why he felt ashamed when facing Fu Bosong.
That wasn't something he would do.

> His hatred for Dong A overwhelmed his personal morals.
He wanted to kill Dong'a, he was so obsessed with it!
Decaying wood is undoubtedly the bane of the Wood Style, meticulously prepared as a gift by Dong An. It will also light the pyre at Dong An's funeral tonight.
A grayish-white light exploded in the air, scattering like swallows taking flight, and plunged into the emerald jade cage that quickly gathered around it, intertwining deeply.
Thus, the branches and leaves withered away, and the trees decayed. A sickening stench of rot hung heavy in the air.
Drab, decaying light swiftly drove out the vibrant green.
The jade cage covering the streets, in a single breath, decayed, withered, and crumbled into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
In an instant, the decaying wood stripped Dong'a of control over all timber energy within this range.
Jiang Wang seized the opportunity and successfully "occupied" these wooden units.
Taking this opportunity, the crown of thorns atop his head flashed past, his left hand flipping back, a new path resolved.
Five Qi Binding the Tiger!
The power of Daoism was invoked, and under the blessing of the Crown of Thorns, it began to stir the five qi within Dong A's body.
But through his mystical powers, he could sense so clearly that Dong A's body was like a towering tree. It was firmly rooted in the earth, and its five qi couldn't be moved.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang's Five Qi Binding Tiger technique was ineffective, trapping him like a tiger in mud. He couldn't even restrain Dong A for a breath.
And Dong A struck back with a slap!
A ferocious green python roared as it emerged, crashing into the pitch-black chains that shot out from the void. It sent them flying back with a powerful impact. The chains, imbued with incredible flexibility, twisted and turned, binding the python tightly before shattering it into primordial energy.
But another green python surged forward, knocking it away again.
Thus, the repeated impacts occurred nine times. Jiang Wang's body shackles were directly struck beyond the sensing range and thus dissipated.
Dong A flipped the two worlds ruler, and retreated three steps. Each step was three zhangs far.
Every step he took back, a tree sculpted from jade would rise before him.
Step back three steps, and bring up three trees.
The three jade trees were arranged in a Three Talents formation. As soon as they appeared, they suppressed the spiritual energy and blocked the momentum, emitting a faint emerald glow.
A strong sense of crisis exploded in my heart.

As for his mastery of the Woodpath technique, Dong A was almost at the level of transformation. In terms of his proficiency in the Woodpath technique alone, he surpassed any cultivator of the same realm that Jiang Wang had ever seen.
Jiang Wang had once studied under him, receiving his guidance. He knew he was strong, but he truly didn't know he was this powerful!
Dong A's ability to become the viceroy of Zhuang Guo and be seen as Du Ruhui's successor was by no means simply due to his participation in the sacrifice of Fenglin City.
However, regarding Dong A's strength, Jiang Wang had already made the utmost guess. He never dared, nor allowed himself to underestimate Dong A.
The meticulously prepared "Decaying Wood's Seal" pushed to the level of an internal energy technique, was one of his carefully laid plans.
Jiang Wangren drew his sword and unleashed it in a flurry of attacks, wielding the ancient wooden staff. He delivered three consecutive palm strikes.
People have passed through the Jade Green Trees, and the decaying power of the rotting wood has already permeated three Jade Green Trees.
This technique is actually Dong A's hidden weapon, a skill called Sansheng Bi Shu. It's known to suppress those who defy him and eliminate their emotions.
Its appearance was indeed superior to the jade enclosure, and not completely overtaken by grayish-white hues.
But it was also halted on the spot, its power interrupted.
Jiang Wang once again thrust his sword toward Dong A, facing him directly.
...and behind him...
Clack, clack.
