Canopy Army, the remaining eight units were on rotation guarding Linzi.This year, it's the turn of Zhan Yu Jun.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!He concealed his ident...Jiang Wang's question,擲地有聲, was forceful and imposing.
The guards outside the city gate were all startled, their hearts pounding like thunder, almost to the point of kneeling.
As an imperial emissary, I wield the might of heaven.
Jiang Wang stood alone here, but behind him was the entire Daqi Empire!
Of course, the Great Qi Empire also included this small city of Ji.
In the face of the emperor's wrath, who could remain unfazed
Only Tian Anping, standing at the city gate, tilted his head, seeming a little puzzled.
Then he said, “You have an edict, come in and announce it.”
At this moment, he and Jiang Wang stood on opposite sides of the city gate.
One is in the city, and one is outside the city.

He invited Jiang Wang into the city!
Jiang Wang looked into his eyes, and after a moment of bewilderment, she saw only the cold and madness intertwined in their depths!
The wind in this city is also oppressive, lingering low near the city gate.
There was not a single pedestrian on the straight street behind Tian Anping.
On both sides of the street, shops seem to be all closed today.
Jiang Wang remained expressionless and simply stated, "I have already conveyed the imperial decree. Whether you accept it or not is your choice. Now, I will take Liu Xiao back to the capital. If you wish to defy the imperial order, then step forward and duel!"
He drew out Chang Xiang Si, its appearance like a pool of autumn water, surpassing the brilliance of sunlight.

The rope that hung Liu Xiao above the city gate snapped silently, and Liu Xiao fell. He was caught by his left hand.
>
He held a willow sword in one hand and a sword in the other, staring coldly at Tian Anping.
He didn't turn and leave directly, after all, not many people dared to brazenly leave their backs to Tian Anping.
Now, this city of four sides, has fallen silent.
Tian Anping stood at the city gate, watching him quietly.
The city guards outside the gate stood silent, watching everything unfold. They held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.
Jiang Wang wouldn't walk into this city, and it seemed Tian Anping didn't intend to come out either.
Thus, Jiang Wang started walking backward, carrying Liu Xiao. His pace wasn't fast nor slow, each step identical. He maintained his confidence while still harboring apprehension.
Throughout the entire retreat process, his gaze never left Tian Anping's.
He always retreats nineteen steps, this is the nineteen steps maintained by the Arhat fairy's demeanor.
Only then did he turn around gracefully, carrying a person in one hand and a sword in the other. His blue robes fluttered as he stepped onto the azure cloud and ascended to the heavens.

The guard, Tian Si Fu, watched the imperial envoy's departing figure, as if he were watching a god.
This was the first time he had seen anyone dare to challenge Master Tian Anping like this.
Even the elders of the family, even... even the clan chief, their fear of Master Anping was hard to conceal. Let alone others from the Tian family.
Today's Willow Whirlwind arrived with a mighty force, possessing the air of a divine being. Yet in the end, it was left suspended at the city gate.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of person could be so arrogant in front of Young Master Anping!
Qingyangzi...
Field Fourth couldn't help but glance back, the figure of Anping Gongzi behind the city gate had vanished.
He noticed in his peripheral vision that the brothers on duty with him had also simultaneously let out a breath of relief.
This day... It's too long!
Tian Si again thought as an ordinary city gate guard.
And Jiang Wang, who left with a willow whistle, actually let out a sigh of relief.
Before seeing Tian Anping, he had many guesses about Liu Xiao's condition, wondering if there was a hidden expert from the Tian family making a move.
But seeing Tian Anping, a sudden sense of crisis made it crystal clear to him that it was Tian Anping who had personally created the current situation with Liu Xiao!
When he first met Tian Anping in Qixing Valley, he felt a deep sense of dread.
That kind of fear was not merely because he had disrupted the Tian family's operations on Hidden Star, or because of Tian Anping's past eccentricities. It was Tian Anping himself who possessed an extremely dangerous aura, seeming to be synonymous with danger itself.
The sense of pressure he felt on Tian Anping was unlike anything he had ever experienced from any other inner court cultivator.

After all, the opponent was someone who fell from the realm of divine presence. Of course, there are some peculiarities that inner sect cultivators don't possess. One cannot measure them by the standards of inner sect cultivators.

Leizhan Qian, someone as arrogant and overconfident as him, had been defeated several times yet still faced each battle with unwavering confidence. Even when facing Tian Anping in Qixing Valley, with his internal cultivation, he didn't utter a single word.
This alone is terrifying!
And now, Liu Xiao, who was once poised to kill Tian Anping, stands in such a pitiful state. Even Jiang Wang, as confident as he is, doesn't believe he could truly prevail against Tian Anping.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tian Anping's invitation was very pressuring.
Today’s events at the city gates of Jicheng will surely be known to all of Qi.
If he retreats today, he will damage the emperor's prestige, and the consequences will be clear.
To truly enter the city would be like wagering one's life on whether Tian Anping would go mad.
Betting on whether a madman will go mad is inherently dangerous.
And he chose to take Liu Xiao directly, gambling that Tian Anping would not leave the city!

Tian Anping whom I last saw in Qixing Valley was different from Tian Anping today. Back then, he had shackles on his hands and feet, looking like a prisoner. Today, however, his hands and feet are empty.
And throughout the whole ordeal, Tian Anping remained within the city gates. Even when things turned sour, he issued an invitation for entry to him.
He speculated that Tian Anping, in this unknown state, might only be able to leave the city while wearing those shackles.
He seems to have bet right.
Don't be fooled by his swaggering gait and nonchalant demeanor as he carries the Liu Xiao. If Tian Anping were to truly pursue him outside the city gate, he would instantly abandon the Liu Xiao and run for his life.

What ability to do what, the national rejuvenation of great undertakings, many strong men can suppress this person, he does not need to take this risk.
Taking on Liu Xiao is indeed a harmless endeavor, provided the opponent is Liu Xiao. When facing someone like Tan Tianping, however, the level of danger becomes unpredictable.
That's why people like Tian Anping are so intimidating.

One could say that on this trip to the city, he walked precisely on a line. The gains and losses were all within his grasp.
At this point, they were already quite far along. Jiang Wang suddenly felt a pang of foreboding, his eyes flashed crimson, and he turned back to look.
It appears to be some sort of declaration.
Under the gaze of Qian Yang's eyes, that square city, with thousands upon thousands of densely packed rooms, rose in the air as phantoms!
Every room is the same.
just like... the inner palace!
Jiang Wang suddenly remembered that when he first came to the city, he had stayed there for a night. At that time, he felt that each room under the layout of this city was very similar to the rooms opened up deep within the inner court.
At that time, he still speculated whether the Tian family's mansion was modeled after the layout of the imperial palace.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Because they were all too similar.
He had carved out three thousand rooms in the depths of every palace, and they were all exactly alike.
His previous reluctance to enter the city was also due to his fear of it.

...and now...
That kind of apprehension seemed to have an answer.
Tian Anping somehow managed to, within the palace chambers themselves, refine them into a miniature city that was as if it were in the middle of the city.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
An entire city is his inner court!
How can people living in this city not be afraid Their lives are held in the hands of others, and all their secrets are laid bare.
How could the once-divine Liu Xiao, who seemed to have descended from the heavens, become like this now This perhaps sheds some light on the matter.
Just like he was in his own palace, confident in facing any opponent.

How can an outsider fight with Tian Anping inside his inner courtyard
Besides, the inner court is so different, and Tian'anping is so different!h would double! And Ao Huangzhong and his Pillaging Army are renowned throughout the land, their peak combat power even more terrifying.But how to withdraw, is a big problem.At this perilous juncture,...
