hin the cauldron. Perhaps the Five-Colored Fish won't be able to recover in a month...Before his departure, Yan Fu gave him a box of one hundred talismans. Twenty-seven had already been used to kill...Such families as the Lis of Shímen naturally had their own residences in Línqī, known as the Destroying-the-City Marquis' Mansion.
The title of Marquis of Destroying the City bestowed upon the Li clan is hereditary and never extinguished, a real estate title granted to Shí Mén.
Of course, it wasn't a full county fiefdom, just the territory of three cities. However, over these years, whenever people mentioned Shímen, they only thought of the Lǐ family.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Given Li's family influence in Shimen, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire Shimen County bore the surname Li.
The two characters "cui" (摧) and "cheng" (城) in the name of Hou Cui Cheng naturally commemorate General Jiang's restoration of the country and the ten arrows used by the Li clan's ancestors to destroy the city back then.
Over the years, the Li family has produced numerous talented individuals. At its peak, there were once three marquis from a single branch of the family, bringing great honor to the household!
But in the end, only this title of Duke of Destroying Cities can be inherited forever.
Just like the renowned Chongxuan clan today, who hold the hereditary and peerless title of Bowang Hou and, in addition to Chongxuan Chuliang's hereditary Dingyuan Hou position, constitute a family with two marquis titles. However, after thousands of years, only the hereditary and peerless title of Bowang Hou has survived. Unless Chongxuan Chuliang can achieve another extraordinary feat, securing another hereditary marquis title for the Chongxuan clan.
Speaking of the Marquis of Cailing, one who has read history cannot help but think of "Jiu Fanghou". To commemorate Zhang's ancestors' nine battles and nine returns in the great cause of restoring the country, Qi Wudi Jiang Wuji specially conferred upon him the title of Jiu Fanghou and allowed his descendants to inherit it forever.

The Zhang family of Phoenix Flower was also once prominent for a time.
Unfortunately, he later made the wrong choice in the struggle for succession and was directly stripped of his hereditary title, reduced to an Earl. Afterwards, another general who kneeled and surrendered in battle emerged, and the entire Zhang family fell from grace.
Today, the Li clan of Shimen remains powerful, while the Zhang clan of Fenxian is almost extinct. It's a pity.
Zhang Jia's only blood descendant, Zhang Yongchu, has begun to make a name for himself. He joined the ranks of the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi. It is likely that he seeks imperial favor and aims to restore his family's glory. This has attracted the attention of many older figures.
Emperor Qi Mu Jiang Wujiu was a significant figure in the history of the Jiang Dynasty.
When the Jiang state was lost, he fled abroad as a hostage. While the domestic rebellion had effectively taken over and begun to grant honors and titles, he shrewdly judged, "Though the rebels are numerous, their hearts are not united!"
He then personally went to persuade the other kingdoms to lend him troops, gathering a force of 30,000 men and directly launched a rebellion against his own country.
After thirty-seven battles, big and small, he remained undefeated and successfully completed the restoration of his country.
Thirty-seven battles restored the nation.
Such a legendary experience, people's evaluation is that the difficulty level surpasses founding the country.
It was under his rule that the state of Qi established its position as a dominant power, and it has remained strong ever since.

The current Duke of Qi, when naming his children, all used the character "Wu" from "Jiang Wujia," which also reflects his ambition and a subtle comparison to Emperor Wu of Han.
And that's not all.
Cui Cheng Houfu is located on ChangHua Avenue, a place where top-tier families gather.
The Li family had been military families for generations, and their manor had a martial arts training ground.
The floor is paved with tiles, inscribed with formation patterns. Even a battle between cultivators at the Tenglong Realm level wouldn't damage it in the slightest.
Li Longchuan got the Qiu Shan bow, but if he wanted to test its strength, how could he do so in thin air He had to find a strong opponent of equal skill to spar with. Fortunately, he didn't need to look far, Xu Xiangqian was right in front of him.

And not to mention how, once he entered the mansion of Marquis Cailing, Jiang Wang opened his eyes wide in wonder.
When they arrived at the training field, Li Longchuan was eager to spar, but Xu Xiangqian immediately became hesitant.
He only then recalled that he had deliberately sent Hongxiu to invite the person earlier, leading to Li Longchuan being scolded. While it wasn't a big deal, when they fought, there was a chance of retaliation.
Although Li Longchuan might not be like that, Xu Xiangqian judges people by himself... I think he probably would!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore, he said: "Since we are testing renowned bows and arrows, I lack any famous weapons by my side, which is truly inappropriate! Let Brother Jiang have a contest with you, using his famed sword!"
Having said that, he deliberately looked at Jiang Wang and said, "I'm also empty-handed, brother. You ask that fat man, does he want to be friends with me!"
“With such bearing, Brother Xu must be thinking about something,” Jiang Wang smiled while suppressing his laughter.
Xu Xiangqian happily wiped his forehead: “Then I’ll wait for the letter!”
Li Longchuan knew about Xu Xiangqian's abilities, but he wasn't very familiar with Jiang Wang. Perhaps he had made a move in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, but unfortunately, no one could remember it.
Moreover, Yang Zhendu's victory over Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang's fame in battle indicate his extraordinary skill. However, relying solely on hearsay is unreliable. It would be unwise to engage him directly without proper assessment. If I were to act rashly and lose control, I fear it might damage the goodwill stemming from the gift of the bow.
Upon seeing Xu Xiangqian speak thus, he turned to Jiang Wang and inquired.

Jiang Wang and Xu Xiangqian had sparred before, so upon seeing each other, they merely smiled and strode into the martial arts arena.
He was not a man of hesitation, if he wanted to test his sword, he would strike!
At the beginning, those who entered the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm were all powerful figures from the Transcendent Realm across various regions.
And only six people were able to successfully obtain supernatural powers. They were considered the strongest among those who reached the Heaven-Piercing Realm.
Of course, now Wang Yiwu has broken the limit and is undoubtedly the strongest in history among those who have reached the Heavenly Transcendence Realm. He surpasses everyone else by a whole level.
As for the rest of them, they have all successively opened the gates to heaven and earth, seeing another world. It is inevitable that they would itch to confirm each other's experiences.
When Jiang Wang was so agreeable, Li Longchuan was also pleased.
Upon seeing the man step into the martial arts arena, sword at his side yet radiating an air of sharpness, he immediately lifted his newly acquired Qushan bow and said sincerely, "Allow me to get acquainted with it first!"
He immediately sat down on the ground, cradling the Qiu Shan bow in his hands, eyes closed and silent.
However, it was the Li family of Shímen who explored this bow through their unique archery skills.

This is not neglect, but respect.
Jiang Wangyi sat cross-legged directly, a sword across his knees, and said only, "Please."
Then he closed his eyes and nurtured his spirit.
He and Chongxuan Sheng travelled from Yanzhi County all the way to Linzi, just to make a good showing at the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. They took a short rest at an inn, but things were far from perfect.
From any angle, Li Longchuan was undoubtedly the most prominent young master in Linzi City.
Jiang Wang also wanted to know, at his peak, where would he be in this 300-li imperial city.
However, it is said that Li Longchuan and Jiang Wang did not immediately engage in battle. Instead, one practiced archery while the other cultivated his spiritual energy. Of course, this was the greatest respect they could show each other.
However, Xu Xiangqian, who was waiting outside to watch the show, yawned out of boredom.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But just as he was halfway through the yawn, he swallowed it back.
"Grandma!"
However, on the sidelines of the martial arts arena, two people had arrived at some point in time.
Among them, one stood out with unparalleled beauty and grace. She was truly a vision of national splendor. However, she was extremely cold and arrogant. Her eyes seemed to look down upon everything and everyone, as if nothing caught her attention.

Li Longchuan's sister, Li Fengyao, Xu Xiangqian certainly knew.
But what really made his heart race was the old woman being supported by Li Fengyao.
Don't look at the old woman, though her hair is as white as frost, she has kind eyebrows and a gentle demeanor.
According to Li Longchuan, that dragon-headed cane was a whirlwind of attacks, dazzling and fierce!
It was none other than Old Madam Li, the current Duchess of Cui City's mother and direct grandmother of Li Longchuan!
As for Sun'er's friend, the old matriarch was not at all neglectful. She only said in a gentle voice, "Gao Er, you don't have to be so polite. An old woman like me also wants to open her eyes and see. See how that red sleeve attracts, not even moving my grandson's string."
Since the old matriarch wanted to watch the fight, Xu Xiangqian had no choice but to smile obsequiously and remain silent.
Old Lady Li called him "Gao'er," a term of endearment. He naturally wouldn't dare to be unhappy, nor would he have the possibility to argue back.

Besides, hearing the old woman’s murderous undertones, though he forced a smile on his face, his high forehead was already slick with sweat.
