Chapter 6301: Mangshan County

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the current imperial son-in-law was weeping bitterly, showing no pretense or shrewdness, Jian Wushuang knew that such a person, capable of great patience and tenacity, was not even afraid of death.

Once he calmed down, he would surely consider Jian Wushuang’s identity, background, and purpose.

Therefore, Jian Wushuang needed to prepare in advance and subtly convey that he was unfamiliar with the Tang Dynasty and had come here to overcome certain barriers in his cultivation.

He also exaggerated his cultivation level.

Invincible in the Golden Core stage.

He had come here to break through his cultivation and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

A cultivator at the Golden Core stage was already considered a significant figure, although not much in the grand scheme of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but to an imperial son-in-law, he was like an immortal. Moreover, Jian Wushuang presented himself as a master with a perfected Golden Core, coming here to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Yuan was slow to realize it at first, feeling the pain of Ah Zi’s death, and then focused on revenge.

The two conversed more and more amicably under the peach blossom tree.

“You seem harmless on the outside, yet your methods are so ruthless. Even I didn’t expect it. I initially thought capturing those beasts and executing them publicly would be the end of it. But listening to you, it seems you’re planning to eradicate their entire clan!” Jian Wushuang feigned surprise.

Chen Yuan, however, felt that wasn’t enough and coldly replied, “Those beasts deserve to die. I will ensure they experience utter despair while alive. I’ll leverage all my connections to dismantle several noble families in the Shanhai County. I want them to disappear from this world as if they never existed!”

Seeing Chen Yuan consumed by hatred, Jian Wushuang felt like patting his shoulder and saying, “Young man, anger harms the body!”

Yet he didn’t voice this, instead nodding in agreement, “Revenge, to me, is just about satisfaction. I originally planned to kill those scumbags directly. However, since you’re Ah Zi’s beloved, I’ll leave the revenge up to you. If you need any assistance, you can find me.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan quickly persuaded, “Why don’t you stay in the mansion, senior? The City Guards are strict in their patrols, and my status makes it troublesome for us to meet!”

“Haha, just some minor City Guards. Apart from their commander, who else could be my match?” Jian Wushuang stood with arrogance, but then changed his tone, saying, “I think this courtyard is nice. I’ll stay here for now. Once Ah Zi’s matter is resolved, I’ll focus on my cultivation.”

After mentioning this a few times, Chen Yuan remembered it in his heart. Although he didn’t say it, he had already decided on how to repay him.

Although he didn’t express it, Jian Wushuang could easily see what he was thinking. This couldn’t be hidden from him.

“Alright, you should go back now. Although I’m free in Tai’an City, you’re different. You are the imperial son-in-law now!” Jian Wushuang intentionally spoke in a teasing tone.

Chen Yuan thought he was angry and complained, “I only have a nominal relationship with the princess. She mingles with her lovers all day, and we haven’t even seen each other in days. Even if she discovers I’m not in my room at night, she wouldn’t care!”

Jian Wushuang was naturally aware of this situation. With a mere thought, he could detect the hundreds of people within the princess’s residence.

“Heh!”

With a flicker, he vanished from sight.

Having witnessed such divine techniques before, Chen Yuan wasn’t surprised. He tidied himself up, picked up a lantern, and walked out of the courtyard.

As dawn broke, the red tide from the east swept in, pushing back the darkness.

The heavy rain also ceased at this moment.

In the morning, as all things lifted their heads, Tai’an City buzzed with life once again.

It was as if nothing had happened the previous night.

The City Guards also withdrew one by one, but the city gates remained tightly guarded.

Tai’an City had four main gates.

The first was the palace gate, the second the royal gate, the third the official gate, and the fourth the city gate.

Each level was more stringent than the last.

This was all because of the commotion Jian Wushuang caused last night, which kept the Zhanxian Guards constantly on edge.

Outside the Zhanxian Tower, Yang Xiao rubbed his eyes as he walked out.

“So tiring, playing chess with the Commander-in-Chief is more exhausting than patrolling outside!”

Dragging his weary body, Yang Xiao led his horse toward the palace gates.

At this moment, he happened to encounter the various officials leaving court.

They merely exchanged glances, each with a darkened expression.

“Hmph, this useless group of Zhanxian Guards still hasn’t figured out the matter of the Jiang Kingdom’s downfall. They are truly useless, only strong in their own territory!”

“Isn’t that right? If it weren’t for the Prince Consort reporting it today, we wouldn’t have known that the nobles of Jiang Kingdom had fled to the Shanhai County. Fortunately, it was just fleeing nobles. If it were an invading army, wouldn’t it have delayed our military response?”

The officials spoke more severely, wishing they could execute Yang Xiao on the spot.

In the past, Yang Xiao would have surely made sarcastic remarks, but now he found himself unable to speak.

He could only ignore them, and once outside the palace gates, he spurred his horse and left.

On the way, his anger grew.

“Have we retreated all the way to Tai’an City from monitoring the four directions?”

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but lament. The once renowned Zhanxian Guards in the capital not only supervised all officials, but also had a strong grip on curfews and control over Tai’an City. They were well-versed in everything happening in the Eastern Lands, with overseers even in the Southern Heaven Realm and the Northern Glaciers.

But now?

The Jiang Kingdom of the Southern Heaven Realm was destroyed, and they knew nothing, nor did they send anyone to investigate.

They had no choice but to swallow their pride in the face of ridicule.

The sects across the Eastern Lands were trampling over them, and they turned a blind eye, even as they watched His Majesty employ people from the demonic cult.

It was disheartening!!!

“Why is His Majesty doing this? The Commander’s heart is fully devoted to you!”

The more Yang Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became, but he had nowhere to vent.

However, the counterattack was about to begin. Last night, while playing chess with the Commander-in-Chief, he received a special mission.

To investigate the external actions of the Holy Cult.

This was a signal, a signal of an impending counterattack.

Over the years, the demonic cult had run rampant, relying on the court to commit countless misdeeds, and now it was time for them to pay the price.

Moreover, this matter was being orchestrated by the Commander-in-Chief behind the scenes, so even His Majesty couldn’t protect them.

Yang Xiao furrowed his brows and sneered coldly, heading straight out of Tai’an City.

Once outside the city gates, he abandoned his horse and traveled on foot.

A cultivator at the Golden Core stage could travel a thousand miles in a day, let alone Yang Xiao, who was one of the best among them. By noon, he had reached Mangshan County, a thousand miles away.

This place was the first major county outside the capital, permanently garrisoned to guard against the great demons and barbarians of the Northern Region.

Small-scale wars often broke out, and deaths were common occurrences.

“What a strong aura of death!”

As soon as Yang Xiao entered Mangshan County, he sensed a powerful aura of death. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

That aura of death was so strong that it moved him, something not seen even after years of continuous warfare.

Moreover, it was mixed with a sense of resentment.

The deeper he ventured into Mangshan County, the stronger Yang Xiao felt this sensation.
