ved yet. You might as well tell me, what did this person do that made you send an army to seek him out”Bai Xiang Wang suddenly shook his head: "Ding Jing Shan, you know, actually I don't want to kill...Sects use many methods to control their disciples, and it's not just about emotional ties. A very important aspect is the sect's martial arts techniques. By establishing a system where they gradually release transmissions based on accumulated contributions, disciples find it difficult to leave the sect. In fact, the more they learn, the harder it becomes to leave.

Jiang Wang directly threw it out at this time, naturally showing a kind of grandeur.

“This seat is devoted to cultivation and will often go into seclusion. There's no suitable place in the kingdom for me, so this seat might be absent frequently.”

Jiang Wang simply stated the premise and then went straight to the point: "From now on, Elder Wei will act as the head of the hall, and all matters can be decided by him. This seat has only one request, keep a low profile and develop without any ambition. Elder Zhuge monitors illegal activities within the sect, if he can handle them, he does so; if not, he first records them and waits for this seat to return and deal with them."

After making sure his two confidants had understood him, Jiang Wang continued: "If you encounter an emergency and find yourselves unable to make a decision, go to Lingxiao Pavilion and look for someone named Ye Qingyu. She will notify me."

Wei Bifang and Zhuge Jun both stiffened, realizing that the new palace master was showing them his cards. It was both a show of support and an intimidation. They immediately bowed their heads in respect, each demonstrating their loyalty.

This tiger-skin of Lingxiao Pavilion, I deliberately brought it out, should be able to hold them back for a while longer.

Jiang Wang did his best to arrange the Lingkong Hall, but what happens next depends more on fate.

Afterward, Jiang Wang discussed with Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun about the development strategies for Lingkong Dian. Jiang Wang insisted on streamlining the system. No matter how glorious Lingkong Dian had been in the past, there was no need to cling to history now.

The first thing to do is to streamline the dozens of existing branches, by eliminating some and merging others, leaving only nine in total. This will be Wei Baofang's long-term work going forward, and a great opportunity for him to consolidate his power.

Jiang Wang didn't mind Wei Bofang having power, as long as he could be effective.

Over the next few days, he, as the head of the palace, supported Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun in their work, giving them great support and allowing them to adapt to their new identities in the shortest possible time.

The remaining elders of Lingkong Hall were all very rational. At least under Jiang Wang's presence, they all behaved themselves and did not cause any bloodshed in the hall. As for what happens after they leave, it depends on the means of Wei Bofang, Zhuge Jun and the others.

About this round of power changes within Lingkong Hall, there wasn't much of a stir outside. People didn't dare to offend those who could afford to offend the Dou clan, nor those who had "driven out" the Dou clan—although it was just a misunderstanding.

Tiger skin is effective, and not many people would go to a tiger for an explanation.

After residing in the Lingkong Palace for two days, Jiang Wang announced his retreat for cultivation and left Chengguo.

Time came to the 18th day of the 12th lunar month in 3918 AD.

They had only stayed on Chiyun Mountain for a day, but ten days had already passed in the outside world. When they left Chiyun Mountain, it was the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Driven by some inexplicable feeling, Jiang Wang stopped for a while on Qicang Mountain when he was returning to Lingxiao Pavilion.

He noticed that the border troops of Zhuang had withdrawn. Previously, the border troops of Zhuang Yong and the two countries were almost face-to-face in a standoff in the Qi Chang Mountains.

Now, only the banners of Yong Nation's border troops can be seen in the Qichang Mountain Range, still arrogantly raised on the north side of the mountains.

This was a predictable outcome. Although the Zhuang nation's power was gradually increasing, it still lacked the depth of foundation compared to the Yong nation and couldn't truly contend with them.

Yet, there was still a bit of discomfort in Ke Jiangwang's heart.

During the two days he was stationed in Cheng Guo's Lingkong Hall, he had already learned the cause of the border conflict between Zhuang and Yong Guo this time.

The Qingshui County's Shangyang city domain was closer to the Qichang Mountains than Fenglin City.

Shan Nan Shui Bei is for yang, as the name suggests, Shan Yang City is located in the south of Qi Chang Mountain Range.

Across from the Qichang Mountains, on the opposite side, lies Le Shan County of Lingbei Prefecture in Yong Nation.

The Yongguo used a prefecture-county system. Generally speaking, "prefecture" can correspond to "county," and "county" corresponds to "city." Of course, this is not entirely accurate.

There are seven counties under the jurisdiction of Lingbei Prefecture, and Lushan County is one of them.

The events that transpired are not complicated to recount.

In Shanyang City, there were two brothers surnamed Yang who made a living by hunting. While hunting in the Qichang Mountains, they captured a white-striped tiger. During the chase, the tiger fell into a trap set by Zhang, a hunter from Lushan County.

When the Yang brothers were dragging the tiger back, they happened to be seen by Zhang the hunter.

The two brothers had a dispute over the ownership of a white tiger, beating Zhang, the hunter, half to death. But before they could leave Qichang Mountains, they were stopped by other hunters from Leshan County.

In the midst of the struggle, the elder brother was killed on the spot. The younger brother ran back down the mountain and gathered a group of hunters from their town to seek revenge.

As a result, things escalated. Hundreds of hunters gathered in the Qishan Mountains and fought each other.

This is a blank line.

The brawl finally ended with the hunters from Mount Yang City prevailing, but just then, the border troops of Yong Nation appeared...

In Yangcheng, five hunters were killed on the spot and over 200 were captured.

The fleeing huntsman returned to the city and wept, whereupon the border troops of the Zhuang State poured out.

As a result of the negotiations, Yong Guo released the captured hunters, but refused to hand over the perpetrators who killed the hunters from Shan Yang City. In the past, the border army of Zhuang Guo might have tolerated this, but with their growing power, they were not satisfied with the outcome.

As a result, the border troops of the two countries engaged in a ten-day standoff on the Qichang Mountains.

The Cheng Kingdom was neither friendly nor hostile to the Zhuang and Yong kingdoms. For this reason, there is another version of the story circulating that tells of Zhang the Hunter from Lushan County who, after ambushing for dozens of days for a white-eared tiger, finally succeeded in trapping it. However, Yang brothers from Shancheng, the city under the jurisdiction of the Zhuang Kingdom, took advantage of the situation and snatched the tiger away. Furious, Zhang argued with them but was beaten half to death. Other hunters from Lushan County, seeing this injustice, decided to defend him, which led to a series of events...

All in all, the saying goes that each party has its own logic. As things stand now, it's difficult to objectively judge right from wrong. Everyone stands from their own perspective, and ultimately, it comes down to strength.

The retreat of the border troops from Zhuang Guo now makes things clear. There is still a gap between Zhuang Guo and Yong Guo, a gap that cannot be bridged in a year or two.

It's the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days, the Lunar New Year will be here.

Jiang Wang planned to go to Qi Guo after the Lunar New Year. He had chatted with Chong Xuan Sheng a few times in the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm, and he was very dedicated to his cultivation recently. His business was calm, and De Sheng Commercial Bank was doing well.

There's a new shop in Linzi City recently. It has integrated many small businesses and risen to prominence very quickly. The owner is quite mysterious...

Here is the translated text:

It is said that Xu Gao'e quarreled with someone over a woman in the offshore islands, resulting in both parties being injured. Li Longchuan left Linzi overnight to support his friend.

Gao Zhe has recently been on a high, his status as the future head of the family confirmed because his biggest rival made a fool of himself in front of the patriarch...

Apparently, Yan Fu is about to be arranged into a marriage...

It's just some such trivial matters.

In summary, Chong Xuan Sheng said everything is fine and there are no problems.

But Jiang Wang could still sense the tension in his heart.

When Chongxuan Zun left the Jixia Academy, it was time for their direct confrontation, and Chongxuan had no further reason to escape.

After calming his mind, Jiang Wang cast one last glance at the Qichang Mountains and then turned to head back to Lingxiao Pavilion.

"Unable to fight." An aged voice rang out behind him.

It seemed like casual conversation, but it made my heart pound.

Who dared to approach so dangerously close

Jiang Wang placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and calmly turned around.

Then he saw a gray-haired old man.

He was dressed in a white robe and tall and thin.

He may appear old, but his hair is as black as ink.

Jiang Wang had never met him in person before, but he had already deeply remembered him——

Du Ruhui! senses.He continued in Xiong Sanshi's consciousness, "Is it worth it The person you want to help, the comrade-in-arms you want to stand beside, he doesn't even know you're fighting for him here, or e...
