Chapter 956 - 956 202 The Killing Intent Hidden in the Sheath Extra for Alliance Hierarch An Qianling
956: Chapter 202: The Killing Intent Hidden in the Sheath (Extra for Alliance Hierarch An Qianling) 956: Chapter 202: The Killing Intent Hidden in the Sheath (Extra for Alliance Hierarch An Qianling) Today was April 15, the day of the Taixu Illusion Realm’s blessing challenge.But Jiang Wang had given up.
This was also the first time since he had owned the Taixu Illusion Realm that he had given up the blessing challenge when he had the time.
There was no other reason, only that his killing intent was sheathed, and he needed to take a life to return!
Battling with the powerful had always been his wish.
But not now.
From Huai Island to Heavenly Mansion City, the journey was smooth.
From Heavenly Mansion City back to Huai Island, still unimpeded.
Morning in Heavenly Mansion City, evening to Crescent Island.
This was Jiang Wang’s current limit of speed.
He didn’t do anything immediately, nor did he meet with any friends, but silently found an inn to stay in.
Bathing, burning incense, sleeping.
He spent one night and a whole day just resting, doing nothing else.
He adjusted himself to his peak condition.
On April 17, Jiang Wang stepped out the door.
He walked on the spacious, clean stone road, walking amid the gazes of countless people in Huai Island.
This night and the entire day were enough for Jiang Wang’s friends to know he had returned to Crescent Island.
But not a single one came to disturb him.
Naturally, his enemies knew as well.
The Sea Hero Chart had been posted all over Heavenly Mansion City, and naturally, it spread even wider in the Near Sea Archipelago.
Under the promotion of the Seize Sea Alliance, the Sea Hero Chart had now become a certificate of honor focusing the attention of all island cultivators.
Every cultivator listed on the Sea Hero Chart was regarded as a heroic figure.
But Jiang Wang, regardless of those gazes,
walked forward, heading in the direction of the Fishing Sea Tower residence.
Walking and walking, Zhongxuan Sheng appeared.
Li Longchuan appeared.
Xu Xiangqian appeared.
Yan Fu appeared.
Jiang Wuyou also appeared.
They walked silently behind Jiang Wang, offering him the support of friends and comrades.
If there was anyone now who did not know that Jiang Wang had saved a woman used as a sacrifice at the sea sacrifice ceremony, that person must have just arrived at the Near Sea Archipelago.
But even a Transcendent Cultivator who had just arrived at the Near Sea Archipelago would know that the name at the top of the supplementary list on the Sea Hero Chart was Jiang Wang!
However, few knew that the woman ultimately could not be saved.
In the stories of heroes, the supporting characters are often just embellishments, just a name that cannot be remembered, no matter how they once lived, how vivid once they were.
Among the crowd, Zi Shu glanced eagerly at Zhao Wuyan.
But without suspense, it was firmly suppressed by Zhao Wuyan’s resolute gaze.
Zi Shu pouted, “I know!
What kind of friendship, what to do!
Really, just like my dad…”
Of course, the volume of that last phrase was extremely low.
Jiang Wang walked forward.
He walked forward under the gaze of more and more eyes.
“Gazes have weight.”
Jiang Wang remembered this phrase very profoundly.
One or two gazes, hard to detect.
But thousands, tens of thousands, could already press one’s breathing to be difficult.
Those scrutinizing, doubting, and diversely complex gazes combined into an extremely terrifying pressure.
But Jiang Wang just walked forward very calmly.
He neither enjoyed it nor suffered.
He no longer considered too many influences, too many issues.
He had simply made a decision and then carried it out.
That was all.
Jiang Wang walked all the way to the sect’s residence of the Fishing Sea Tower before he finally stopped.
The last time he had been here, he was following Granny Bizhu.
At that time, he was considered a visitor and directly entered.
Now, returning once again, there were no friends left in the Fishing Sea Tower.
Indeed, he had not a single friend in the Fishing Sea Tower.
Yang Liu didn’t count, and there was no need to mention anyone else.
He had many friends behind him, yet he didn’t speak a single word to any of them.
Because this time, he was traveling alone.
Gathering even more friends wouldn’t make any difference to the Fishing Sea Tower.
Thus, he chose to represent only himself.
As the lord of the entire Crescent Island, every grass and tree on this colossal island belonged to the Fishing Sea Tower.
Therefore, the sect’s residence of the Fishing Sea Tower didn’t need any particularly conspicuous signs.
The bustling crowd came to an abrupt halt at a boundary—the sect’s residence of the Fishing Sea Tower, beyond which laypeople were not allowed.
This was also the very center of the colossal island.
There was no tall archway, only two unremarkable wooden columns on either side of the road.
The material was indistinct, dark and slick.
Apart from its smoothness, nothing else was peculiar.
Only upon approaching could one see two verses carved on the left and right columns.
On the left, it read: “Laying down my hook, it has suspended in the heavens for eternity.”
On the right, it read: “Breaking my rod for kindling, it illuminates all beings through the ages.”
The carvings had endured thousands of years, yet there was not a hint of blurriness or damage.
Every stroke was crisp, not even a fishhook eroded by wind and rain.
It was as if it was never meant to be eroded.
So it had been in the past, so it was now, and so it would be in the future.
The spirit demonstrated by these verses truly broke one’s heart.
What kind of angler was he, whose fishhook when laid down, became the bright moon in the heavens?
Whose fishing rod, once broken into firewood, could illuminate the teeming masses across the ages?
Pushing back ten thousand years or forward ten thousand years, probably only the Diaolong Guest could achieve this.
Only with the firewood that illuminated the Human Race and the bright moon as his hook could one such as he stand alone, guarding the seas and fishing at the End of the World!
The handwriting of these couplets continued the lineage of the carvings on the End of the World Platform, both the handiwork of the Diaolong Guest.
These two unremarkable wooden columns were also a place many cultivators of the Fishing Sea Tower entrusted with their hopes.
At this moment, between the two columns stood a man.
A plain yet profound man, who seemed very reliable.
The senior brother of the Fishing Sea Tower, Chen Zhitao.
To handle the matter concerning Jiang Wang and his group, it was not appropriate for higher-ranking individuals to appear; this was not the Sea Ritual Ceremony, and the True Monarchs had no need to speak with them.
And those of much lower rank indeed could not stop Jiang Wang.
Being of the same generation as the disciples and publicly recognized as the most prominent young man of the Near Sea Archipelago, Chen Zhitao was the most fitting choice.
He stood between the couplet-engraved columns, watching Jiang Wang approach, his face showing genuine difficulty.
By now, others might not be aware of the events that had occurred on the End of the World Platform, but it was impossible for him not to know.
He was well aware that the entire incident was Ji Shaoqing using personal grievances for revenge.
The owner of the Fishing Sea Tower had neither the need nor the inclination to engage in such petty schemes.
If Wei Xun truly wanted to kill Zhu Bijing, he could have easily crushed him instantly, without needing to explain to anyone.
Conversely, since he had set terms and provided an opportunity, what followed was Jiang Wang’s own affair.
No matter the outcome, someone as venerable as that True Monarch would neither care nor intervene.
But as the senior brother of the Fishing Sea Tower, a leading figure among all disciples, he could not ignore an outsider causing trouble for his fellow disciple.
Right or wrong was a very important matter, but sometimes within the sect was “right,” and foreign lands were “wrong.”
Chen Zhitao was no exception to this custom.
Thus, he made his appearance here.
To block the way.
Chen Zhitao pondered deeply, then spoke first, “Regarding the events on the End of the World Platform, I apologize to you.
This was an oversight by the Fishing Sea Tower.
I understand there are regrets, and no amount of wealth or treasures can reverse them.
Some mistakes, no matter the cost, cannot be undone.
But please allow me to represent the Fishing Sea Tower and offer you some token of our sentiment.”
Jiang Wang looked up at him, “As for the events on the End of the World Platform, I don’t recall them anymore.
Therefore, there’s no need for apologies or compensation.”
“I am here not representing any person or power, but only myself.”
His voice was very calm, yet it revealed an undeniably steadfast force—
“I’ve heard that the inheritance of the Fishing Sea Tower is ancient and its secret techniques superb.
There is a disciple named Ji Shaoqing, hailed as a genius of this generation.”
“I, Jiang Wang, humbly request a trial by sword.”
