major surnames were required to occupy a quota. This has almost become an unspoken rule. Fang Pengju's selection was naturally justified. As for Fang Heiling, who knows what price the Fang family paid...Tianjing City is such a great city.

The population of the city, amounted to tens of millions.

The strong in the city are as numerous as stars.

Jiang Wang was alone.

He stood alone, a single sword in hand, facing the greatest city in the world.

His voice was not loud, but those who needed to hear it could all hear it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And those who understand, like Xu San, need no further explanation.

The entire Tai Xu Mountain Heavenly City is populated by individuals from the Jing Kingdom, all of whom are elite soldiers and generals. They were dispatched specifically to compete with other factions, striving for the benefit of the Jing Kingdom.

From now on, if anyone in the lower city makes a mistake, Jiang Wang might drag them to the capital and publicly punish them.

So, is it possible for Tianxia City to never make mistakes again

"Fairness"

But the word "fairness" would, in fact, reduce Jing Guo's interests. Because they have already gained a lot by being "unfair".

Regardless of the means used, what has already been won will not be seen as "something that can be returned," but rather as "something firmly in our grasp."

Especially with Jing Guo's vast size, these interests had long been distributed thoroughly.

Who comes up with this first bite

Who volunteers

>

But if Jing Guo is unwilling to give up this part of the benefits, Jiang Wang will repeatedly find excuses, repeatedly come to Tiance City, and repeatedly damage Jing Guo's prestige!

This person should be killed!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But how to kill

Setting aside the radiance and legend surrounding the name Jiang Wang, simply considering his identity as a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion. Initially, the Tai Xu Alliance was a pact agreed upon by all parties under heaven. Each clause of the agreement was a testament jointly witnessed by all sides.

Jing Guo's killing of Jiang Wang was a reckless act that destroyed the alliance. It wasn't just offending one or two families; it offended everyone. This wasn't just giving someone a handle to wield, but giving the whole world a handle.

All parties who join the Taixu Alliance can use this as a sword and insert it on the city wall of Tianjing.

Xu San saw completely Jiang Wang's determination, and had to admit the young official's mad words - he, the head of the Nanzhen Si, one of the five powerful figures in Tianjing City's Criminal Investigation Department, was indeed not qualified to make decisions.

But he still asked, "Under what circumstances could you feel better and control your strength"

He let out a soft sigh: “This street repair isn't much effort, and you're certainly not short on money. But it's disrupting the normal lives of the people, which ultimately isn't a good thing. I believe you wouldn't want to do that either.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Xu San, you're a reasonable person. Tell me your thoughts." Jiang Wang said, "Before coming to Tianjing City, I went to Jingtian Prefecture. To protect the reputation of people from Jingguo in the Taixu Fantasy Realm, I went to apprehend a small thief who was committing fraud there. I was polite and courteous, reporting to the six Shangzhen of Jingtian Prefecture and discussing the matter with them. As a result, they gave me the cold shoulder, only offering me a bag of Yuanshi and news that the thief had committed suicide out of fear—"

"What do you say" Jiang Wang looked at him, her voice calm. "Don't they think they did something wrong Were they not polite enough Did they not put this manor in their eyes"

Xu San was about to explain Tai Chi: "This matter starts from—"

With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Wang interrupted his maneuvering: "After the Taixu Resolution, Ben Ge thoroughly investigated all cities in the world. Ben Ge is here today for an inspection, and I am not alone. It's a small matter that Jiang Wang loses face, but it's a big matter if the Taixu Pavilion is disrespected! Li Yi is so peerless, Dou Zhao is such a hero! Chong Xuan follows bravery as his banner, Huang Sheli holds the pinnacle, Ju Kui is upright and incorruptible, Zhong Xuan writes his Spring and Autumn directly, Cang Ming grieves for the heavens and pities the people, Qin Zhizhen is honorable and righteous——The other Pavilions entrusted me with this important task. Can Ben Ge allow them to be trampled upon"

He stared straight at Xu San, his eyes seeming to question — Xu San, do you dare to disgrace Li Yi's reputation

Xu San felt a heavy pressure and remained silent for a moment: "What do you think should be done about this"

Jiang Wang said each word slowly, "This pavilion wants to meet the six friends of Jingtian and hear them apologize directly to this pavilion. They must pay for their rudeness."

Having said all of that with such seriousness, he let out a light smile: “Let’s go back to the yamen for some tea, Mr. Xu! As I've told you before, you can't call the shots.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards Wang Kun who was still lying on the ground.

Xu San didn't have the authority to stop the Six Friends of Jing Tian from investigating. But he was facing this unsolvable dilemma—members of Tai Xu Ge were supposed to investigate members of Tai Xu Ge, how could someone from Jing Guo have a reason to stop it

He watched Jiang Wang's retreating figure, about to speak, but then stopped abruptly. Apparently, he received some instruction, his expression lightened up, and he raised the bag of spirit stones in his hand: "In that case, Elder Jiang, I'll accept these spirit stones first! Tianjing City has a pleasant scenery, hope Elder Jiang enjoys your stay here!"

Xu San能, as the head of the Nancheng Si, spoke these words. At least he was at the level of the Jing Guo high-level official, the chief of the Ji Xing Si, who made the decision - Tianjing City's prestige is very important and cannot allow Jiang Wang to "come and go as he pleases". But the face of the Six Friends of Jing Tian is also very important, it is impossible to compromise with Jiang Wang. For this, they can choose to let the world city return to "fairness".

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Jiang Wang wanted to hold onto the Taixu Pavilion's banner and the world city, so he had to offer some benefits and erase his reasons. He must show some respect for the original Taixu Alliance.

This was a huge concession. At least in Xu San's view, the higher-ups had made a decisive decision and given Tai Xu Pavilion enough respect. They were willing to spit out the benefits they had already swallowed. How many people in the world could get Jing Guo to do this

But Jiang Wang was obviously not satisfied.

He didn't even look back, just saying: "I'm here for fun! In the illustrious capital city of Tianjing, life is a joyride! Xu Si Shou, you must be prepared with enough excitement to make my day!"

Having said that, he grabbed Wang Kun's hair and pulled him out of the pit. Then, dragging him like a dead dog, he strode away.

Every step of this dragging trampled upon the faces of the arresting cultivators present.

"My lord, where is he going" The subordinate officers gathered closer, their eyes filled with malice.

Xu San didn't answer, just threw the bag of spirit stones: "Take it back and record it."

He plunged headlong after Jiang Wang, pursuing her with a shout of "What a delightful breeze! Where shall we go next, esteemed Elder Jiang What amusements do you have in mind Would Xu serve as your guide I won't boast about other things, but when it comes to pleasure and revelry, Xu is unmatched!"

"Alright!" Jiang Wang strode forward, "The criminal I'm about to apprehend next is extremely dangerous. It would be best if your Enforcement Division sent more manpower to control the surrounding environment. We mustn't let him become desperate and cause chaos, disrupting the common people and hindering my initial purpose."

“With Old Master Jiang’s sword at hand, how could a criminal possibly deserve the word 'dangerous'” Xu San followed him, speaking with flattery and a gentle voice: “Wang Kun may have done some wrong things in the past, but after this lesson, he will certainly not make mistakes again. The chaos in Tianxia City will inevitably be rectified, and all those things that angered you to draw your sword will no longer happen… Old Master Jiang, Jing Guo truly has boundless splendor. If you want happiness, there are more than just one way to find it.”

“Let's talk about what happens later. As for what has already happened, we can't pretend not to know about it. We need to find a solution as soon as possible. The so-called untouchable laws are built on blood and cannot be relied upon to guide people's conscience. Xu Si is a powerful figure in the Criminal Investigation Department, who has been investigating wrongdoing and fighting evil for years—wouldn't you agree”

“Zhong Zhirou died out of fear, Xiao Lin was captured in prison, and Wang Kun is now in your hands. This trip alone justifies your actions. Who wouldn't admire your impartiality and courage You have upheld the Tai Xu decree and earned a clear name that will be passed down through generations. Naturally, there will be some discontent in this city, but there are also people like me who understand. Bringing things to a close is the most appropriate outcome—” Xu San tried to persuade him, his smile hinting at a probe: “Wouldn’t it be better to capture Chen instead”

Jiang Wang turned her head to look at him, a smile on her face: "What do you think"

Xu San stopped smiling, halted his steps, and looked at Jiang Wang with eyes like he was looking at a dead man: “Therefore, I’m afraid I can no longer offer my hospitality.”

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

“Go back!” Jiang Wang continued walking forward. “You’re still young. Life is full of ups and downs, don’t get caught up in it.”

"Master Jiang Ge! Let me offer my humble advice—" Xu San paused, "Life is full of regrets. We must learn to look forward. I understand you're probably feeling very complex emotions right now, but acting impulsively serves no purpose. Many brilliant lives have been destroyed by rash decisions. While the storm at sea can certainly create huge waves, once they rise, we can't control when they will subside. Please believe me, neither you nor I would want to see that happen."

“Do you think this is a huge storm” Jiang Wang continued walking without looking back, his voice as unchanging as his steps. “It can’t compare to the myriad of things in my heart.”

Chen Suan, the pride of Penglai Island, was, at the time of Daoli's Three Nine Nineteen, undoubtedly the top young cultivator in Jing Guo.

In that year, the recognized representatives of the Central State of Jing from within the country were: Wàn Qí Jīng Hǔ (Wanqijinghu), Chén Suàn (Chen Suan) from the Wai Lou Realm, Zhào Xuán Yáng (Zhao Xuanyang) from the Shen Lin Realm, and Chún Yú Guī (Chun Yu Gui).

Unfortunately, the one who was most likely to win, Wan Qirong Hu, fell into the demon world in a single day. In order to cover up the large-scale purge at that time and suppress the huge turmoil it caused, Jing Guo urgently recalled Li Yi, who shocked the world with his sword.

The Chen Suan we expected never made it to the viewing platform. During those shining nights, he failed to bloom in his own light. So many regret this—he missed his time. He failed to shine at the crucial moments and thus lost the chance to become the star of the era.

Now, Chen Suan holds the official title of Left Vice-Minister of Imperial Censors in the Great Jing Empire. In the Imperial Inspectorate responsible for overseeing all officials, he ranks as the third most powerful figure.

To say that he is influential and powerful would be an understatement.

But given Chen's lineage and talent, and his initial momentum when he first emerged from Penglai Island, relying on official channels, to have reached the position of Left Vice Minister of Inspection now is considered a significant slowdown.

And all of this, if we want to trace back its origins, has to begin with the Yellow River meeting he missed...

Time and fortune are fickle, even the greatest heroes of the world can find themselves in hardship due to the changing times.

Chen Suan's residence wasn't easy to find, but the Dongtian Temple was very conspicuous—it was the most prestigious one in Dongcheng.

The history of the Jing Nation is long and illustrious, producing many powerful individuals. The esteemed position of Heavenly Master can only be attained by a brilliant talent within the Daoist sect. For three thousand nine hundred years, one representative each from the Daoist Sect's three major sacred sites and the Jing Nation's imperial family have held sway over the land. How else could they subdue the world if not with strength

Jiang Wang said he was going to look for Chen Suan, but instead of going to the Ministry of Censorship or Chen Suan's house, he dragged Wang Kun all the way to the East Celestial Master's Mansion.

Here is the translation of your content:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Here is the story of Chen Suan, a cultivator from Penglai Island. He disregards the iron laws of the vast emptiness and goes against the interests of humanity, harming the hearts of all under heaven!” Before the gatekeeper disciple of Tianshifu could speak, Jiang Wang shouted first, “This person was personally taught by the Eastern Celestial Master, yet he does not heed the teachings of the Celestial Master, secretly doing this wicked act—our department swears to capture this thief and remove the stain on the Celestial Master's name, restoring the reputation of Penglai Island! You should immediately summon him!”

"Oh." He flung Wang Kun, whom he had been dragging along, forward. "This thief seems to have also practiced cultivation on Penglai Island!"

Although they both practiced on Penglai Island, Chen Suan and Wang Kun were not familiar with each other. This involved the issue of factions within Penglai Island. Wang Kun belonged to the Di Party, while Chen Suan had a heavier imprint of Penglai Island. They cooperated in the Fudi location event, which was also a cooperation between "official duties".

But it doesn't matter, when they need to be, they can be close.

Now is the time when Jiang Wang needs these two brothers from Penglai Island to be close.

But the child was not panicked or angry, nor did he scold and drive them away. Instead, he simply pushed open the gate of Tianshi Mansion with his hand: "Elder Jiang Ge, Master Chen is just in the mansion, waiting for you!"

But he didn't even glance at Wang Kun on the ground.

Chen Suan is at the Dongtian Temple! That's quite unexpected.

"Boldness! To commit such a grave crime and yet dare to wait for me. I must ask - who gave him the audacity" Jiang Wang lightly brushed his garment, strode confidently into the Celestial Master's Mansion: "Lead the way ahead. Throughout history, only thieves have evaded the law, never the other way around! I shall go meet him myself, though it be a dragon's lair, there is no escaping this!"

After walking a few steps, he said again: "Can't you have two people carry Wang Kun outside What if he is attacked by assassins Wouldn't I be held responsible"

“You're overthinking it,” the boy chirped back, “The Dongtian Temple is perfectly safe.”

>

"How did that Zhong Zhirou die" Jiang Wang said coldly. "This pavilion is willing to believe in the Dong Tian Shi's virtue, but with the precedent of Jingtian Mansion, I dare not gamble on the lives of prisoners again!"

The young Taoist waved his hand, and two Taoists came out, lifting Wang Kun up and following behind them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Dongtian Temple was vast, with winding paths and picturesque scenery every few steps. It was steeped in ancient charm.

Jiang Wang walked silently behind the Taoist boy all the way to a courtyard. Chen Suan, dressed in a plain hemp robe, possessed an air of aloof wisdom. He sat alone in a pavilion, playing a game of chess by himself.

Holding a white piece in his hand, he pondered over the chessboard.

"Brother Chen, Elder Jiang has arrived," the young boy whispered.

Jiang Wang didn't even spare a glance for the child as he shoved the bowl of noodles aside. He strode into the pavilion, walked to the chessboard, and looked down at Chen Suan's furrowed brows.

"Brother Jiang," Chen Suan said without raising his head, "You've traveled a long way! Life is ever-changing. Look at this game of chess. How will the white pieces rescue themselves Do you have any brilliant moves to teach me"

Chen Suan-pu's game of chess is full of hidden strategies! It contains the latent power of a dragon, alluding to the current political situation. Fate plays out in two directions, appearing to be a dead end, yet it harbors endless possibilities for change.

But Jiang Wang only waved his hand a few times, messing up the chessboard: "Chen Suan, your plan has backfired!"

Chen counted up, looking at Jiang Wang, stunned for a long while.

Jiang Wang continued, "You have plenty of time to play chess in your prison on Taixu Mountain for the rest of your life. Now you still need to think carefully about yourself."

Then Chen Suan suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Sure enough, it's you!"

Here is the translated text:

Please note that I have only translated the text within the tags and left the HTML tags as they are. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang didn't smile: "If I were you, I wouldn't be able to smile."

“Then I can’t cry either” Chen Suan still smiled: “You and I both know that my guilt isn't really my guilt.”

"That's interesting! If it's not yours, then it must be mine" Jiang Wang seemed to not understand Chen Suan's implication, looking around: "Did you calculate that Ben Ge would come here to find you"

Chen Suan smiled faintly, "I've been waiting for you a move's time here."

Jiang Wang emphasized: "This can't be considered turning oneself in. It can't reduce your guilt."

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

"You really know how to hit the nail on the head…" Chen Suan looked at him, "So this is why you came to find me Afraid that if I take a few more steps, I can claim self-defense"

Jiang Wang didn't respond, but instead lowered her gaze slightly: "You sit down, while I stand, this doesn't align with the positions we should have."

Chen smiled and stood up: "Please sit down, I'll stand. — Grand Tutor, is there anything you wish to reprimand me for"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wangzhen sat down and, with a gesture, invited the other person to do the same. "You sit too."

"Your Majesty is too kind," Chen said. "A lowly criminal like myself should still stand."

"Do you expect me to look down upon you"

Then Chen Suan sat down again and sighed, "Your Excellency's rules are really numerous!"

"Aren't you used to it" Jiang Wang asked.

Chen Suan pondered for a moment, then smiled: "It's really quite familiar! It makes me realize that I am truly back in Tianjing City!"

This is a test.

This day, what rules the capital was like, Jiang Wang didn't bother to explore. He just looked up at the celestial prodigy of Jing Guo before him: "You don't deny the matter of securing a good spot in the blessed land"

Chen Suan smiled and said, "You shouldn't have come to arrest me without evidence, right"

"Chen brother. We've met several times, we're acquaintances, I've held the utmost patience for you." Jiang Wang's tone suddenly became very gentle: "I know this isn't your intention, you don't have the time, nor would you be willing to do this. But you are a Jing Guo person, you receive this position and salary, you have no choice. In the interests of a vast empire like this, there is no room for personal right or wrong... I promised Tai Xu Daozhu to uphold the law impartially, so I cannot let you go. But I am willing, within the rules' allowance, to give you some leniency, do you understand"

Chen smiled and replied, "I don't quite understand."

Jiang Wang slowly said, "This investigation into Tianxia City involves a lot. It's not something that can be figured out by just a few people sitting together. I'll give you some time to find the Six Friends of Jingtian and have them talk to me. You don't need to say anything else, just ask them to stand up and have an honest conversation with me. That's simple, isn't it"

Chen Guan retracted his smile and shook his head. "I can't do anything. The Fukudi incident was entirely my own idea, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Why does Elder keep emphasizing my identity as a citizen of Jingguo What are you trying to lead me towards Do you have animosity towards Jingguo"

Jiang Wang nodded lightly: "Good, I understand what you mean."

>

At this moment, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were heavy like a mountain: "Are you tying yourself up, or should I do it for you"

Chen Suan twitched the corner of his mouth: "As a heinous criminal, I can't just be taken away by you so easily, can I"

“Oh!” Jiang Wang expressed surprise in a tone that wasn't surprising at all: “You’re going to resist arrest!”

Chen Suan sat opposite Jiang Wang, the two separated only by a stone table.

On the stone table there was only a jumbled set of chess pieces.

They were so close, yet there was a "distance" between them in terms of reality.

...to the point where even his "resisting arrest" could be seen as a joke.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

To say that there were no ripples in my heart seeing the solitary Tai Xu Pavilion elder heading to the capital today would be impossible.

As both prodigies of the same generation, capable of representing their nation on the battlefield against the River Table, it is bewildering to see such a vast gulf between them now. To whom should we attribute this disparity

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

"People often tell me I'm unlucky, that I missed the wave of the times, using these words to comfort me."

Chen sat calmly, as if in casual conversation: "I cannot be comforted. Because I am unable to think that way."

"If I could possess the unwavering confidence in victory for my nation, like Wanm Qi Jinggu, General Xian would not have hesitated to support me on the Guanhe platform. Our nation conceded the outer court match precisely because they saw no absolute certainty in me... whereas Taiyu Zhenren possesses it."

After the Guanhe Terrace incident, there was the war between Xingyueyuan. After the Southern Celestial Master erected a stele on the grassland, there was Wang Ting's visit to pay respects. But you, Jiang Zhenren, are the most dazzling one. This era did not lack opportunities for me, those opportunities were not reserved for any particular person, it's just that I failed to seize them, I missed them time and again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The tides of time have never bypassed me, Chen Suan. It's just that I haven't had the strength to navigate them alone, to stand firm on their crest.

"Master Jiang, do you know which sentence in your open letter calling for the extermination of Zhang Linchuan touched me the most"

He asked himself and answered, "Fate is like this, there is no resentment!"

"Only the weak complain about fate, the strong take control of their lives."

He looked at Jiang Wang with such equality: "Master Jiang, today you raise the banner of Taixu and come, like stirring up a flood. I was born in this world at this time, I am also beyond my control. But you say this time, can I stand firm"

This is the plain text version of what was inside the > tags:

It's getting windy.

Wind whipped at his robes, and元 power surged from all directions, gathering around him.

Chen's feet manifested a black and white, rotating Bagua. Heaven and Earth responded to the Five Elements. In that instant, he moved away from the stone table, appearing in the courtyard and ascending into the air.

Under his feet, the gossip quickly expanded, like a high-hanging stone platform.

The sun at the horizon seemed to be a celestial wheel above his head.

Legs apart, standing on the stone platform, his Daoist robe billowed, and his eyes and brows were filled with a divine light. At this moment, he resembled a celestial being!

So-called "divine secrets of heaven," so-called "one must obtain a glimpse of the heavenly secrets," that glimpse of the heavenly secrets should be right now!

He flung his arms wide open, his long hair flying wildly as he laughed with genuine delight: "Today...when I behold this world in its true form!"

The nation's genius from the State of Jing, stood right before him, ascending to the True Void.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Winds converge, dragons and tigers meet, Shaking the earth, trembling the heavens.

Such magnificence!

But Jiang Wang just sat there, making no move at all, quietly waiting for everything to unfold.

Chen calculated the situation, determining his limits. He used Elder Jiang from Taixu Pavilion as a whetstone, launching a forceful attack on Dong Zhen under the heavy pressure brought by him—while Jiang Wang himself remained unmoved.

Until the sky was clear and cloudless, Dong Tian Shi Fu became quiet. Chen Suan had completely finished this step, becoming a genuine contemporary real person. At the time of great peril, he once again verified his peerless demeanor!

Jiang Wangcai rose from the stone table and walked out of the pavilion.

His face was expressionless.

His eyes were indifferent.

His hand, reached for the hilt of the sword.

“One sword.”

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

He said, "You have the guts to refuse arrest in front of me Give me a reason to kill you right now. I can't help but admire your courage, so I will wait and see what happens!"

“This pavilion will only strike once.”

"Alright, you're free to go."

“You can’t handle it, that’s your fate.”
