Chapter 1650 Letter From the Chu People
This time, the Borderland Demon Hunting Trip was a bit anticlimactic.
Before setting off, Jiang Wang wanted to try how far he could go into the Borderland alone with his sword, and he wanted to touch the life forbidden zone. But he was blocked before 2,700 miles and had to turn back.
Some changes have already occurred in the Borderland, and Jiang Wang still knows nothing about it.
If he had not gone 2,600 miles deep into the Borderland and encountered eleven God-level combat forces in succession, he might have thought that the Borderland was very peaceful.
What is people's impression of the Borderland?
It is the front line of the human race against the demon race, and it is a very dangerous battlefield. Many epic stories happened here. The two powerful countries of Jing and Mu joined forces to defend...
And then there was nothing.
For those who have never set foot in the Borderland, all their feelings are too far away.
With the density of monsters encountered this time, it is difficult for Jiang Wang to imagine what the scene will be like once a real demon tide occurs.
And how was the demon tide that was a catastrophe in history defeated by the sages?
Judging from Tu Hu's performance, Mu Guo must know something about the changes in the Border Wasteland... What is it? Does Qi Guo know about the changes happening in the Border Wasteland?
The powerful fighting power of the demons is so rampant in front of the life forbidden zone. Is it a sign of a new round of demon tide? Or is there a demon strongman being born?
Why did Tu Hu come to the Border Wasteland instead of staying in Minhe Temple and entertaining envoys from all parties?
Who is the existence that he said was against him?
What does everything he encountered this time have to do with the "Finger-flicking Life and Death Illusion Demon Art"?
Jiang Wang now knows three of the eight great magic arts.
They are "Emotion-annihilation Blood Demon Art", "Finger-flicking Life and Death Illusion Demon Art", and "Seven Hate Demon Art".
The first two are from the same series at first glance, but the latter is a little different, and I don't know why. Perhaps the source of the eight great magic arts is also divided into several factions?
This trip to the Border Wasteland is to establish an understanding of "demon", but it has given rise to more questions.
I can only keep it in my heart.
The sudden danger is disturbing, but what Jiang Wang cares more about is the news that Deng Yue is dead.
Deng Yue and the warden of the Qin Prison Department died in the borderland at the same time, which is enough to explain the problem.
He finally knew why Zhao Rucheng, an exiled descendant of the Qin Dynasty, took the risk to stand on the Guanhetai.
This lazy kid.
This kid who had given up long ago and was unwilling to sacrifice for those people and things in the past...
He had to stand up and use that way to protect himself and respond to Uncle Deng's departure.
He knew better than anyone that Zhao Rucheng had given up everything long ago and just wanted to live his life in anonymity. And now he is killing demons in the borderland, fighting on the battlefield, and practicing in Erdmi.
Why does this world force people who don't want to fight to fight?
Jiang Wang has no answer.
Or rather, he is not the one who is qualified to give an answer.
Under the gloomy sky, he left the borderland alone.
When he stepped into the borderland, he had one man, one sword, and a black camel.
When he left the borderland, the black camel was gone, and the sound of the camel bells was buried in the wind and sand.
Yuwen Duo was indeed guarding outside the life and death line, and with him, there was a cavalry cruising nearby.
Seeing Jiang Wang, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The Marquis is finally back! I was afraid that you would be too excited to kill and couldn't make it to the succession ceremony." The green sea on this side of the life and death line made Jiang Wang's heart relax slightly. He handed over the storage box casually: "Some collected Yin demon heads."
After the death of the general demon, it dissipated into demonic energy, leaving nothing behind. So even if Jiang Wang killed several general demons at the level of God, he didn't get any spoils. The only cast iron mace was also a relic of a human monk.
When a demon hunter enters the borderland, the harvest is usually only the Yin demon head.
It is true that the Yin Demon Head is the raw material of the Soul Stone, but the Soul Stone is only useful in the Borderland... For those who enter the Borderland, it is naturally worth a lot of money, but for those who are not in the Borderland, it can be said to be worthless. Therefore, its value is actually difficult to reflect.
However, both Jing and Mu countries will purchase the Yin Demon Head at a high price, which is equivalent to using fiscal expenditure to supplement the defense of the life and death line.
Yuwen Duo didn't even need to open the storage box to know that there were at least thousands of demon heads in it. He smiled and said, "I'll help you exchange them for Dao Yuan Stones later."
"No need." Jiang Wang said casually, "The significance of the Soul Stone lies in the Borderland. I came to the grassland with nothing. These raw materials will be my personal gift to pay tribute to the great sacrifices made by the children of the grassland to fight against the demons."
Yuwen Duo clenched the storage box in his hand and said solemnly, "In this case, I thank the Marquis on behalf of the soldiers in the Borderland."
Even if it doesn't matter about this batch of demon heads, with Jiang Wang's strength, he went into the Borderland to fight for several days and was injured before coming out. For the Muguo army stationed in this area, it also greatly reduced the defense pressure.
Yuwen Duo's thanks were sincere.
Jiang Wang only looked at the back of his hand with bulging veins and said, "Remember to return my storage box to me."
……
……
On the way back to the royal court, they rode side by side, and the wind was full of the breath of freedom. Yuwen Duo couldn't help but ask, "How far did the Marquis go into the wilderness? How did he get injured?"
"I haven't reached the forbidden zone of life yet." Jiang Wang was intoxicated by the vitality of the grassland and said casually, "I was surrounded by eight divine combat forces."
"Eight?!" Yuwen Duo was shocked and said, "Are you sure you didn't enter the forbidden zone of life?"
"It's 2,600 miles away from the line of life and death, less than 2,700 miles away." Jiang Wang replied, then asked: "Do you know anything about the golden crown priest who presides over Minhe Temple?"
"Lord Tu Hutu?"
"Yes, I saw him this time."
Yuwen Duo was silent for a moment.
After a long while he said: "That's not someone I can talk to."
Jiang Wang was even more surprised. What is the origin of this Tu Hu?
Yuwen Duo, a reckless guy who is fearless and a true-blooded disciple of the Yuwen clan, actually doesn't even dare to have a conversation?
The position of the Golden Crown Priest and the Tu Family are not enough to support this kind of deterrence.
But there was just a smile on his face: "It seems that this is a very great person. I was a little rude before."
Yu Wenduo said seriously: "After this time, Mr. Hou had better not have too much contact with him. Otherwise, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Jiang Wang was surprised that Yuwen Duo would comment like this, so he asked: "Is a person who has a lot of troubles in his life actually presiding over an important diplomatic place like Minhe Temple?"
If this is the case, then he is really confused about Mu Ting's employment.
Whose official in charge of diplomacy is not the kind of person who is good at dancing and all-rounded? No matter how you think about it, such an important position that can reflect the will of the country to some extent should not be held by a mess of people.
But Yuwen Duo stopped talking.
…
…
Jiang Wang deliberately waited until the end of the blessed land challenge on June 15th before setting off to the border wilderness.
There is no need to elaborate on how he easily defeated his opponent in the challenge of Blessed Land. After falling to the 69th-ranked Yunshan Paradise, it is already very close to the 72nd-ranked Donghaishan Paradise.
The main reason why we have to start from the last blessed land is to truly leave our own unique challenge track, and secondly, to not miss the special output of any blessed land.
Beyond that…
He is also trying to build another combat system. He plans to use this combat system to conceal his identity in the fantasy world and at the same time hit the ranking of the blessed land. It's not perfect yet, but it's no longer a problem to defeat these divine monks with the lowest ranking in the blessed land.
He set out on June 16, fought in the wilderness for five days, and returned to the Supreme Court on June 22. At this time, there are still several days before the succession ceremony of the Crowned High Priest begins.
Envoys from various countries have also arrived one after another.
The majestic and vast Minhe Temple became noisy after the envoys from various countries had settled in. Excellent diplomatic talents from various countries are at ease on such a stage. An envoy like Jiang Wang who practices cultivation behind closed doors and then goes to fight alone in the wilderness is truly an outlier.
As soon as Yuwen Duo arrived at the royal court, he hurriedly withdrew, not knowing what was important.
Jiang Wang returned alone to the courtyard where the Qi envoy lived. At this moment, all the injuries on his body had been taken care of and there was no hindrance.
Qiao Lin came forward eagerly and led the horse diligently. He later found out that he had ruined the Marquis' boast that day, and he felt very regretful. He wanted to rebuild the trust between himself and Mr. Hou, but unfortunately Mr. Hou turned around and went to the grassland, leaving him with no place to flatter him and feeling very disappointed.
"Master Marquis, many people have been looking for you these days while you are away!" He said in a mysterious tone.
"Oh?" Jiang Wangwang smiled and said, "There must be a person from Chu among them."
In fact, after knowing that the Chu State's envoy to the grassland this time was Douzhao, he was already looking forward to this meeting.
When he first left Chudu, he and Douzhao had an appointment with God. If it hadn't been for this meeting on the grassland, he would have taken some time to go to Chu.
Even when he went to the frontier to hunt demons alone this time, he had no intention of sharpening his sword in preparation for the fight.
Facing an opponent like Dou Zhao, who dares to take it lightly?
And with Douzhao's bellicose attitude, it was perfectly normal for him to rush to the door first.
"Master Hou is wise!" Qiao Lin gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face: "Master Hou is really good at predicting things. How did you know that Zhong Liyan would come to you? He really comes here every two days to ask where you are. No, I haven’t come back yet.”
Zhong Liyan?
What's this guy doing here?
I'm not familiar with him either.
Isn’t the envoy from Chu State Dou Zhao? Temporary substitution?
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, but after all, it was not convenient to show surprise at this time, so he just said a vague "hmm".
Then he asked: "You said many people came to see me. Who else besides Chu people?"
"The people of Jing State are also here to visit you!" Qiao Lin boasted: "The reputation of Lord Marquis is known all over the world, and everyone is convinced. If there is a chance, who wouldn't want to see his true appearance? If I were not from Qi, I would not be lucky enough to be with you Your Majesty, I will definitely try my best to visit you!”
Murong Longqie?
Jiang Wang took the initiative to ignore Qiao Lin's low-level flattery. He couldn't figure out what kind of intersection he had with Murong Longqie that would make him come to visit him.
Let’s interpret this as Jing’s diplomatic behavior.
Can……
Didn't the emperor give any diplomatic conditions before leaving? If we really want to talk about cooperation, alliances, etc., how can we talk about it if we don’t have any attitude from the top at all?
You have to find a way to obscure it...
While I was thinking about it, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the hospital: "Jiang Qingyang!"
But it was a female voice.
"The Jing people are here again!" Qiao Lin reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Wang had already heard who the person was, and when he turned around, he saw a bronze-skinned, muscular woman walking gracefully.
Wearing armor and robes, she walked with great momentum, almost carrying the wind and thunder.
But there was a smile on his face: "Ah, no, it should be called Jiang Wu'an!"
Jiang Wang also smiled: "Whether it's Qingyang or Wu'an, it's me, Jiang Wang. Miss Huang can be called whatever she wants."
Huang Sheli smiled: "Okay, Fairy Jiang!"
"...Uh." Jiang Wang choked.
Huang Sheli smiled even brighter. Her facial features are deep and there is a beauty that is rare in the Eastern Region. Her smile has an innate contagiousness that makes people grin and brighten their mood unconsciously.
As if the sun was shining through the clouds, he walked into the courtyard and held Jiang Wang's hand naturally: "Long time no see!"
Recalling the meeting at the Yellow River, it felt like a world away. Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, it's been two years in a flash."
Huang Relic asked himself, "It's sexy but not obscene, never greasy, the style of a gentleman", so he just held it for a moment and then let go, smiling: "Time flies, and Brother Jiang's grace is even better than before, I would like to jump to the dance quickly." Ten or twenty years from now, look at what Jiang Qingyang will look like at that time!"
Jiang Wang invited her into the main room and talked with him: "If Miss Huang can manage such a long time one day, please show mercy. Whether it is ten years or ten days, I want to experience it carefully. No I would like to skip it.”
"It makes sense." Huang Sheli nodded repeatedly: "We have to go through it carefully."
Jiang Wang always felt that the two sides were not talking about the same thing.
After sitting down, he asked again: "I remember that your country seems to have General Murong as its envoy this time?"
"Yes, I came with you." Huang Sheli looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
Zhao Meiren is in retreat, Chongxuan Meiren has not come, only Jiang Meiren is in front, so He should take a second look. Otherwise, wouldn’t this trip to the grassland be in vain?
"It's both." Jiang Wang smiled, and then said thoughtfully: "I think Miss Huang's energy is perfect, and she is about to become a god?"
Once Huang Relic, who possesses the ultimate magical power, comes to power, he will be such a powerful opponent. Jiang Wang is looking forward to how dazzling the reverse journey of flowering will be.
"It's still a little bit far from perfect." Huang Sheli muttered, "Otherwise, I might as well kick him down this time, and I'll do it by myself. It's annoying to me to do things."
Jiang Wang was a little amused: "Why does General Murong care about you?"
"You talk here and there whenever you go out!" Huang Sheli seemed dissatisfied for many days: "I came to see an old friend, what's the matter?"
"Master Hou!" Qiao Lin trotted over at this time: "People from Chu are here to write!"
He took a breath and added: "A letter of challenge, sent by Dou Zhao!"
Huang Relic's beautiful eyes shined at the side.
If he hadn't been a little reserved, he would have danced a magic pestle on the spot.
Dou Zhao versus Jiang Wang! What a beautiful scenery this is! It's a shame that I didn't listen to that zombie face. If I missed this battle today and in the future, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?
Jiang Wang didn't bother to think about how the people of Chu came to know Zhongliyan and Douzhao. He was very happy when he heard that it was Douzhao's letter of challenge.
Stretching out his hand: "Send it over!"
Qiao Lin respectfully handed over this letter of challenge.
Jiang Wang opened it and saw that there was only one line in the text——
"Do you remember the appointment with Chu Capital?"
The font is not very neat, but it is arrogant and wanton, and it wants to burst out of the paper and kill you in the face.
He closed the letter of challenge, raised his eyes to look at Qiao Lin, and laughed loudly: "The letter from Chu is well said!"
