Chapter 156: The World is Like a Sea of Suffering, You and I
he outer building, I shall also cut off my connection to the Star Building.”Jiang Wang said as follows.What he is saying is that he won't take advantage of you, but rather aims to convince you.Then ge...The days of heavy rain have finally stopped.
The clouds parted at the horizon, revealing a sliver of sunlight.
Of course, the gloom of the human world will not be easily erased.
The smell of blood is a thick, viscous thing that clings to your nostrils. It's a constant reminder that something has happened.
Blood, snaking across the ground like a line.
Corpses lay scattered everywhere, forming a unique landscape.
This is a test.
Once vibrant and boisterous, everything has fallen silent.
Yi Shengfeng sheathed his sword and walked away.
Seventeen battles in seven days, nothing but killing and walking.
Although Qi Sha Zhenren and the Duke of Huai's Mansion reached some kind of tacit understanding.
But the assassination order issued by the Duke of Huai's mansion, of course, wouldn't mention any restrictions. Anyone who killed Yi Shengfeng could do so, and anyone could receive the reward. Anyone could be protected after killing Yi Shengfeng.
As for the restriction that one mustn't interfere in the affairs of the divine realm, it is enforced through the deterrence of the Nandou Hall.
Whoever, be it a deity or a being of higher power, dares to lay hands on Yisheng Feng, the formidable figure of True Person Qisha, Lu Shuanghe, will personally challenge them with his sword. He does not inquire about their origins or background; he only seeks to determine life and death.

"What a load of crap about understanding, it's just a one-sided compromise."
Yi Shengfeng thought silently.
But this world, after all, is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The victors have always had the right. He understood that long ago and there was nothing to regret.
For many years after pushing Jiang Wang into the river, he didn't think about her at all.
>
He was said to have drowned. Even if he hadn't, in a place like Fengxi Town in Fenglin City, Jiang Wang's biggest accomplishment wouldn't be much more than inheriting his father's pharmacy and maybe opening a few more branches.

After many years, he returned to his birthplace with his sword raised high. From the heights of the clouds, he looked down upon the world below. Perhaps he would only smile at the events of that time, setting aside thousands of taels of gold and reminiscing about his childhood friendships.

But, ironically, Jiang Wang was not dead.
Jiang Wang not only didn't die, but also began cultivating.
After missing the chance for love at Nandou Hall, he still chose to embark on the path of cultivation.
Forget about cultivation, just toil away on that three-point field in Zhuang Guo, spinning around within the tiny courtyard. Struggle your whole life and at most, you'll be a captain of the Criminal Investigation Department. Tenglong Realm or Nei Fu Realm

Even Ke Jiangwang went to Qi State, the eastern domain of Xiongba, and represented Qi State, winning the Yellow River Championship.
Therefore, he was easier to overcome and a broader future was revealed!
So the hatred for pushing Jiang Wang into the river and nearly drowning him became a real hatred.
Then the icy, oppressive, suffocating sensation of being underwater, the immense terror of life and death, can truly be felt!
Jiang Wang is no longer a faint memory from his childhood, but a real person who jumped out of that little river and into his world of blue-green swords. He is what he heard about, what he sensed.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
He was a stubborn person from a young age. As children, he sparred with Jiang Wang using wooden swords. No matter how many times he lost, he would grit his teeth and start again, pulling Jiang Wang back and refusing to let him leave until he won.
But Jiang Wang was actually the same. In so many sparring matches, Jiang Wang had never let him win once.
He understood that Jiang Wang would definitely not let him off, and therefore he would certainly not let Jiang Wang off either.
It's that simple.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help but look up at the sky. In the far reaches of that celestial expanse, there was an extremely subtle response.
His star tower, like wind through leaves rustling, but he knew not why it made that sound.
The Southern Dipper Hall's lineage is ancient and does not adhere to the so-called Four Spirit Star Domains.
> Yishengfeng's establishment of the Xinglou (Star Tower) were all placed under the killing star.
It is called the Planet Mars, the Seven Killings, the Broken Army, and... the Wolf of Greed!
It was the building named after the star of the greedy wolf, which suddenly responded with a subtle echo. This star also has another name, called Tianzhu, located in the Big Dipper.
This feeling, like a gentle breeze ruffling the surface of a lake.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He strained to follow it, but he could not tell from where the wind came or where it was going. The lake surface had already become calm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just as I was about to manifest my spirit and head to the Star Tower to investigate this wave of turbulence, a surge of blood-like heat suddenly flooded my heart!
Danger is imminent.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Yi Shengfeng without hesitation turned around and immediately abandoned the pre-set action plan, dashing into the forest.
If possible, he would not want to be in danger and face death head-on. But if he had to face it, he would definitely draw his sword to save himself and let the other party die.
The world is like a sea of suffering, and you and I are all struggling to cross it.
This large-scale free-for-all across the entire Nan Yu region, of course, was the attitude of the Duke's Mansion of Huai in Great Chu. Of course, it was also tacitly permitted by the True Person Qisha as his journey to hone his swordsmanship.
But it was also a time when his swordsmanship flourished and he gained fame for his victories.
To the south of the land of lawlessness lies Zhuang Kingdom's Dai Mountain County.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The four counties of the Zhuang State are Hualin, Qinghe, Daishan, and Yongchang. Excluding the newly established Yongchang County, among the traditional three counties, Daishan County has always been the one with the strongest military preparedness. It has the most beast lairs and the bravest soldiers. The famous Jiujing Xuanjia originates from here.
On this day, smoke and dust filled the road as a troop of cavalry galloped swiftly.
A large flag, fluttering in the wind, hung at the front. It displayed two large characters: "Huángfǔ".
As the foremost martial artist in the State of Zhuang, General Huangfu Duanming, the Grand General of the State of Zhuang, was often an overlooked figure.
When people talk about the state of Zhuang, they always mention Zhuang Gaoen and Du Ruhui.
Furthermore, looking back to ancient times, recalling the past deeds of Zhuang Chengqian.

>In the Western Territories, ask ten people, and nine of them won't know who Emperor Du Ming is.
During the time when Zhuang Gao Xian lived in seclusion in the Imperial Palace, he often sparred with Du Ruhui. Back then, he still had a sense of presence. Unfortunately, he was often suppressed by Du Ruhui for years.
Of course, this play of discord had been performed for many years, and in the end, they reaped a rich harvest, successfully seizing the White Bone True Pill, allowing Zhuang Gao to achieve enlightenment in one fell swoop.
After the prosperous era of Duke Zhuang's reign, Zhuang Gaoen was hailed as a great ruler by people, and Du Ruhui referred to him as an outstanding minister. However, Huangpu Duanming, who was in charge of the military, seemed to have disappeared without a trace, rarely making any noticeable contributions.
>
However, the Zhuang nation's decisive victory over Yong and the capture of Lock Dragon Pass were not solely due to the efforts of Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui. No army, no matter how powerful its strategy or as brilliant its generals, can succeed without a strong foundation.
Zhuang Gaoxian often said in private that General Huangfu was his dragon bone, and if he were to be removed, the sky would tilt.
Although Huangfu Duoming kept a low profile, his influence in the political landscape of Zhuang Kingdom never diminished. His position in the army was unshakable by anyone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Over the years, he has been at the core of all our campaigns, north and south.
After the capture of Lock Dragon Pass, he personally stationed himself there, steadfast and unyielding, like a fortress of gold.
Now he has quietly left Luolong Pass and appeared in Daishan County. Leading his troops personally, he marches north, his intentions are self-evident.
>
The officials of the State of Zhuang have exhausted all their ingenuity to remove this nail, Huang Yinmo. Now, of course, they should enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Compared to the Yong Guo, their disadvantage lies in -- they can only passively wait for the strong fighters of the Mo family to make a move, and their actions will definitely be slower.
But the advantage is — they were prepared earlier.

Isn't that just ironic
When the two top fighters of the Mohist school questioned the city for not repenting, Huangfu Duanming happened to be inspecting in Jiujiang.
He didn't even have time to report to the emperor, and personally led his troops north at the first opportunity. This was a decision worthy of a great general.
The sound of the wind, horses neighing, and armor clashing always brings a unique sense of relief to warriors.
Huangfu Duoming rode his horse, silently thinking about the emperor's layout this time.
When Zhuang Gaoxian was still in the realm of divine presence, he hid in the deep palace under the pretext of cultivating in seclusion and recuperating for many years. At that time, Yong Guo, whose border was Mount Qichang, did not even find out about it, and no one in the court knew either.
Having kept it hidden from the world for so many years, he naturally had his own unique reliance.
Now that he has attained true enlightenment, it's truly remarkable.
Why was he able to deceive the White Bone Demon God and precisely seize the White Bone True Elixir at the last moment
Why was he confident in holding Jiang Wang on trial at Yujing Mountain, providing irrefutable evidence of sorcery
>
Why is he confident that he can frame Huang Mo, making it impossible for anyone to find the truth in a short time
Of course, Huangfu Duoming knew the answer.
Even if you know the answer, you can't help but feel uneasy.
The emperor's scheme was too risky and ultimately not the proper path to greatness.
But speaking of which...
The Qin state dominated the western frontier, Yong received support from the Mohists. The biggest interests of Yujing Mountain were in Jing, and they couldn't spare too much energy for Zhuang. The ruler and ministers of Zhuang didn't want to be too heavily influenced by Yujing Mountain either...
In this situation in the West, what else can we do but take risks
The emperor's cave is true, breaking Yong and getting through the pass. This step by step overcoming danger has gained much, but it really can't be stopped.
One day, breaking the deadlock, jumping out of the chessboard, becoming a true player, perhaps one would no longer have to...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But how long a road is there still to travel before that day comes
How many more bones will it take to pave the way
...and how many more like He Ba who are skilled in swordsmanship will leave
Huangfu Duanming silently pondered, showing no change on his face.
A rider on a fast horse galloped ahead and shouted, “The Prince of England from Yong Nation, Bei Gong Yu, has declared martial law and refuses to ransom the city! There are many Yong troops blocking the road ahead!”
The Duke of Yongguo was certainly not as influential as the Duke of a dominant nation, but as the only duke in Yongguo, Beigongyu represented a significance unlike any other.
Immediately upon the Yongjun's entry into the extraterritorial region, the high-level officials of the Zhuang nation reached a consensus on this war. This was not a national war, but a war for territory and strategic advantage.
That is to say, if you fight, you must do so within a certain range and try your best, but you cannot go overboard.
In the past, if the Zhuang Kingdom wanted more support from Yu Jing Mountain, it had to accept more restrictions from the Taoist sect. The benefits and constraints always balanced each other out.
But now it is different.
>
The Mo Gate layout official road, it chose this Yong Nation.
If the Taoist sect wants to be restricted, in fact, besides the Zhuang country there is no other choice.
To curb the influence of Mo Men on the official path and strengthen control over Zhuang Guo, Yujing Mountain also had to make some calculations and compromises. This was precisely the maneuvering space for the high-ranking officials of Zhuang Guo...
“The old dog arrived quickly.” Huangfu Duanming concealed all his thoughts, pointing north with his whip and shouting, “Let’s go meet him!”
Have you ever seen a person
Outside the city gate, a ragged and filthy man was going around asking people questions.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
His tattered clothes had once been very bright, but now the red was faded.
From the greasy, matted braids, he must have once been quite dashing, but now they are filthy and oily, stuck together like glue.
At this time, the city of Buducheng has already entered a military administration state.
All talk of the "Golden Mean" system and "absolute freedom" has become history.
Only Yong Jun's military tactics can be calculated here.
Two rows of heavily armored Yongguo soldiers stood guard at the city gate, their demeanor stern and imposing.
"Get out of here!" one soldier snapped impatiently.
Please note that I've removed the extra ">>>" at the beginning and end of your input as they weren't part of the content you wanted translated. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But this person just asked, "Have you seen him"
He gestured with his hands: "So short, so thin, very rich, a girl, with lots of toys."
He asked, "Have you seen it"
"Didn't see anything, didn't see anything. Let's go quickly, or we'll be chopped up later and it won't be worth it." Another soldier made a shooing gesture.
This person walked sideways with their head down, but muttered, "If you see her, get rid of her and don't let her play here."
"Who is this" The young general, with two swords at his waist, asked from atop the city gate tower. "He seems to possess some cultivation, how could he have fallen so low"
"Lord Bei Gong, this man is said to be the former commander of the sin guards here, named Lian Heng." The nearby commander replied, "When Miss Xi controlled the reverse Five Elements Shifting Tower, he received a bag of spirit stones and was on guard. After the arrival of the True Person Tian Gong, he fainted on the spot. Jiang Wang picked him up and handed him over to other sin guards. Those sin guards also wanted to wait for him to wake up and take charge, but when he woke up, knowing that Zhu Wei's life and death were unknown, Huang Jin Mo had been captured and interrogated, and after the city was destroyed...he went mad."
>
"Where are those guards" Beigong Ke asked.
“Some have already been conscripted, while others are still hiding in the wild, but their spirits are broken.” The commander of the personal guard looked down at the chaotic scene below the city wall. “Otherwise, he wouldn't be wandering alone here. No one cared about this place before, these Imperial Guards spoke with authority, hehe, he lived a carefree life.”
It's quite surprising that a superpowered cultivator who once held the position of Commander of City Guards would end up insane like this.
But Bei Gong Ke could probably understand the reasons for Lian Heng's madness.
Lian Heng was just thinking, that it was he who gave the Mohist girl the opportunity to send a real person over. It was his negligence as the commander of the Sin Guards that led to the lord mayor missing the chance to escape. It was because Lian Heng was blinded by greed and invited the wolf into the house.
Having been severely injured, both physically and mentally fragile, he couldn't bear this shock for a moment. His mind directly collapsed as a result.
But the cruellest part is that Mojia wants to capture Huang Jinmo, and no matter how perfectly Huang Jinmo responds, it won't be enough. Even someone like Lian Heng, no matter what he did, couldn't even respond. Even if he had once been glorious and carefree…Mountains fall, people become dust.
A game played by great figures, the sound of a chess piece striking the board may conceal the lament of countless souls.
He Bei Gong Ke might also find it difficult to be an exception.
At this time, there was a commotion downstairs at the city gate.
"Let you go, but you won't " The first impatient soldier drew his sword and walked towards Lian Heng who was acting erratically. “Yapping non-stop, yapping non-stop, driving grandpa crazy!”
Lien Heng was oblivious, still shouting, "Don't let her play here, this is our house, this is my house!"
"Save the person and just find somewhere to keep them." Bei Gong Ke said casually,
"Sir, the war is imminent, and the brothers all have much to do." The captain of the guard said reluctantly, "They've gone mad..."
“As you wish.” Bei Gong Ke only said this, then walked to the other side and continued inspecting the city defenses.
The commander of the personal guard could only jump down from the city wall while enduring Lian Heng's frenzied cries continuing——
