Chapter Sixteen: The People of the Village Do Not Know That

a mysterious pattern, unfolded on the walls of the passage. They vaguely resembled some kind of design. But pulling back too far, too much distance, made it impossible to visualize it clearly in one's...Fenglin City Daoist Academy, Zhang Linchuan, ranked third on the Dao Merit List.

The White Bone Messenger Zhang Linchuan who assassinated the Lord of Fenglin City, Wei Qiji!

Jiang Wang's eyes flickered for a moment before shifting again, his steps still light and swift. He continued to chew the food in his mouth, the cries of the poor girl still echoing around him.

Everything seemed as if nothing had changed.

Only he knew what had just happened.

It's impossible not to be influenced, and it's impossible to remain unchanged.

His feelings, even his intentions.

Because he had used the White Bone Escape Technique to take Jiang Anan and Song Qingzhi away as soon as the earthquake started, he only knew a general idea about the tragedy that happened in Fenglin City.

He knew that Dong A had deceived him, and he knew that Zhuang Gao Xian and Du Ruhui sat idly by as the common people of the city died. They snatched the White Bone True Elixir from Bai Gu Zun Shen's hands, and Zhuang Gao Xian used this to recover from his injuries and achieve the status of a real person.

Lu Yan and Dong A's conversation gave him a glimpse of the truth. However, more specific details about that disaster came from Zhuang Ting's announcement.

That announcement was mostly false, and it clearly held no credibility with Jiang Wang.

Later, when he beheaded the man with the serpent-bone face, he learned some information from him during his death interrogation.

At that time, She Mian said that the high-ranking officials of Bai Gu Dao were still: Bai Gu Sheng Zhu, the second elder Lu Yan, Zhang Linchuan the messenger of Bai Gu, the Saintess, Long Mian, Hou Mian, and Tu Mian.

Later, in Qingyang Town, the monkey face was killed by him, and the dragon face was beheaded by him.

The rabbit face attacked the dragon face with a feeling of disgust and then fled.

At the highest level of the Bai Gu Dao, only the White Bone Holy Master, the Second Elder, the White Bone Messenger, the White Bone Saint Maiden, and the Rabbit Bone Face remained.

Then on the Qiyang battlefield, Lu Yan betrayed his side and Miao Yu ambushed at Bai Gu Men... Almost all of the high-level officials of the Bai Gu Dao who were still alive had abandoned the Lord of Bai Gu.

All the followers who adhered to the belief in white bones have died for various reasons. There is no doubt that they were able to die so cleanly because there was a hand behind the scenes arranging everything, an internal purge within the White Bone Dao. Just like the strongest Dragon Face among the Twelve Bone Faces, Jiang Wang was not capable of killing him, the Rabbit Face stepped in to "help".

At that time, Jiang Wang had already known that the White Bone Saint Lord was the incarnation of the White Bone God in the mortal world. After witnessing the White Bone Saint Lord's hasty escape, he even felt that Lu Yan, Zhang Linchuan and those people might be able to eliminate the White Bone Saint Lord.

But Zhuang Chengqian, playing the role of Jiang Yan, reminded him at that time that he lacked respect for the underworld deities.

Jiang Wang had once tested "Jiang Yan" at that time, but there were no results, only some suspicions.

But in the underwater grotto, Bai Gu Zun Shen and Zhuang Chengqian had their most intense confrontation. Bai Gu Zun Shen's desire for Zhuang Chengqian fully demonstrates that His action of descending as a plague embodiment has also failed.

Based on the intelligence about Zhang Linchuan's attack on Wei Qiji, it seems that Zhang Linchuan only possesses the strength of an Inner Palace Realm cultivator.

Now Jiang Wang has opened up two mansions, mastering two divine powers, he is not afraid at all.

But if we consider the failure of the White Bone Saint Master... The strength of those from the White Bone Dao is unfathomable.

It is known that the White Bone Venerable Deity is terrifying, pushing someone as capable as Zhuang Chengqian to the brink. Even during the "White Bone Saint Lord" period, without the horrifying power expended on Zhuang Chengqian or the terrifying divine art of Endless Tribulation spanning hundreds of years, being able to defeat Him is still astonishing.

Among the high-ranking members of Bai Gu Dao currently in existence, the most fearsome and terrifying in terms of power is Lu Yan. Within the Feng Lin City domain, he stands as a formidable outsider, and as the sole remaining elder of Bai Gu Dao, his status was naturally the highest.

But in Qingyang Town, the death rattle of the Dragon Bone Face was distinctly Zhang Linchuan's...

That is to say, it is very possible that in the eyes of those who hold dragon bones, Zhang Linchuan, rather than Lu Yan, is the core figure of apostasy. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the first thing he thought of before his death was to instruct the rabbit-faced people to turn against him.

Taking all of these factors into consideration, Jiang Wang couldn't accurately gauge Zhang Linchuan's abilities.

He was seeking revenge, not a death sentence.

So, when he first saw Zhang Linchuan, he didn't choose to draw his sword and charge forward. Instead, he concealed his emotions, allowing himself to walk calmly through the encounter.

The streets of the county town were calm and peaceful, with people going about their daily business. Life was tranquil and unchanging.

To meet one's countrymen abroad, yet have them unaware of the longing for home!

To avoid raising suspicion, during his time in Wenci County, Jiang Wang never proactively inquired about Qingyun Pavilion. He merely listened passively or steered others to speak about it voluntarily.

He opened a middle room in an average inn. During the day, he would go out for walks, ostensibly sightseeing and enjoying local delicacies, but secretly gathering information.

When the sky turns dark, return to the inn. Absolutely avoid causing trouble or making a ruckus. Explore the newly opened second inner palace diligently and control the newfound supernatural powers. Also, make an effort to "reduce swelling" for yourself...

A bitter taste of yin injury, Ye Lingxiao was not a good person either. The bruises left by the two real people would not truly harm Jiang Wang's body, but removing them would be extremely difficult. It required precise control of Dao Yuan to counter it meticulously, only then could those traces be gradually expelled.

However, this process itself accelerated Jiang Wang's state adjustment, allowing him to recover to his current peak at a faster rate.

Walking on the streets of Wenxi County, Jiang Wang was no different from any other stranger walking on that street.

He integrated very well, walking naturally and even eating as usual. But in his mouth, he could no longer taste the flavors of delicious food.

Only when you bite into it, that "squishing" sound, in a helpless and futile... cry!

Isn't it delicious

A cheerful middle-aged woman greeted me.

She was probably a native of Wenxi County, and seeing Jiang Wang eat with relish gave her a sense of local pride in the cuisine. Even though she saw him wearing a mask and couldn't see his true face, she wasn't cold or indifferent.

“It’s so delicious!” Jiang Wang said with a smile.

He deliberately adjusted his accent, trying to avoid being recognized by Zhang Linchuan. Although perhaps Zhang Linchuan wouldn't remember his voice anyway.

The thin lines of the lips peeking out from the dragon mask are very clear, and the chin has a clean and sharp curve.

“The Zhang Mazizi hand-pulled noodles in the north of the city are also very delicious!” The aunt said enthusiastically and generously.

"Let's try it tonight!" Jiang Wang said.

The old woman just chatted with her casually as she passed by. After hearing Jiang Wang's response, she briskly continued on her way, passing right by Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang turned around and said, "Thank you!"

“No!” the aunt replied without turning around, feeling as if she had made another contribution to her hometown and was very proud.

In the once-bustling Fenglin City, where now only silence reigns...there were once such endearing townsfolk...

Jiang Wang retracted his gaze and continued walking forward.

In the very instant he turned, he had already made out Zhang Linchuan's back and seen the direction he was walking in.

Why did he come to Yong Guo

What does he want to do

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Where will he go

A map of Wenxi County gradually became clear and detailed in my mind.

But Jiang Wang's steps were light and brisk, she bit into the last "Poor Little Cry" candy.

Chirp chirp chirp!
