Chapter 137: Cause and Effect
caught in the sandstorm!>His reaction was pretty quick, but he just wasn't well-prepared.Even a snake as adept at climbing walls as the one described here could not cope with this situation.>The momen...Zhang Xun sat alone outside the city, waiting for Xiao Shu naturally.
Xiao Shu stole the elixir and fled for thousands of miles, having long reached a point where there was nowhere left to go. The hardships he endured and the clever strategies he used along the way need not be recounted in detail any further.
Now he is penniless, having spent all the money he had entrusted to him.
And these forty days were the only time he had fought for himself.
For these forty days, Zhang Xun must show respect.
The overwhelming military might displayed by the city of Budu not only protected its territory but also upheld the principle of valuing lives.
Zhang Xun, banished from the city by the culprit, sat alone before the city gate, enduring immense humiliation.
His determination to kill Xiao Shu was palpable.
But at this time, Jiang Wang who was still standing on the long street, also had to begin to consider running away...
Being called out by your name on the streets of an unredeemed city, of course, is a dangerous thing.
Although after the Agreement of Star and Moon, Zhuang Guo could no longer openly target Jiang Wang. Although Du Ruhui was publicly humiliated in Yujing Mountain with a flogging, his injuries may not have fully healed...
But as for that pair of ruler and minister, it is not an exaggeration to say that any thoughts one might have about them are apt.

Jiang Wang turned back and looked at Xiao Shu: "Do you need me to contact Chu Yu for you"
Of course, he had a brotherhood with Zuo Guangshu. Of course, he felt the preciousness of camaraderie at the Duke of Huai's residence. He personally experienced Zuo Guanglie's death in battle and was very clear about what the Zuo clan had paid for Chu. He also recognized that this generationally loyal family should enjoy those honors.
But at the same time, Chu Yu's words did indeed touch him.
>
Those who walk in the mire, wanting to fight for themselves, for millions of commoners, to struggle out hope... He was moved.

Because he knew how difficult his journey had been, he could feel more deeply that this world may need more fairness.
But he was not a sage born with wisdom, nor did he possess innate intelligence. For many of the world's problems, he had no definitive answers of his own. There were even times when he truly didn't know who was more right, and who was more wrong.
He can only keep learning, understanding, accepting, and correcting, but this process is bound to be long.
At the end of the day, he is just a young man who has just turned twenty. He is also searching for his own answers in life.
That answer may not be correct, it may not conform to people's understanding, and he may not even be able to find it.
He's just going through his life, he doesn't have to become anyone in particular.
His whole being was devoted to righteousness, yet he also strayed from the right path.
The Unrivaled Wind is his supernatural power, and the Samadhi True Fire is also.
He possesses the magical powers of a sword immortal and inherited Yun Ding Immortal Palace, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will recreate the era of the Immortal Palaces. The sword immortal's kind of immortality might not be the same as the immortals of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces.
He was just walking forward.
He is not loyal to anyone's expectations, he is only loyal to himself.
But he knows how much effort it takes for someone to climb from the bottom up.
If effort were to always have no reward, and giving had no return, what a hopeless world it would be. He understood that.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore, he could understand why Chu Yu severed ties with righteousness and why Xiao Shu was willing to take such risks.
>
That's why he spoke up for Xiao Shu today.
Therefore, he would help Xiao Shu think of a way at this moment.
Xiao Shu stole the elixir and left, so all his connections in Dan Guo naturally became useless. Jiang Wang temporarily only wanted to get a Chu Yu, and might try to help him later.
Xiao Shu shook his head and uttered the first words he said after Zhang Xun's appearance. He smiled and said, "I'd rather not. He might be worse off than me right now."
He was actually smiling.
His smile was very approachable, unrelated to his features or current state, almost like a kind of "technique".
"Well, is there anything else I can help you with" Jiang Wang asked again.
Of course, he wasn't influenced by Xiao Shu's smile. He genuinely wanted to help.
Even so, he was already prepared to borrow money.
Thanks to the assistance of his capable younger brother, Zuo Guangshu, he is now well-off.
Lending Xiao Shu some yuan stones, allowing this young man who had just escaped from Dan Guo to stay in Budu for a while longer, living another few dozen days...

That's all he could do.
Xiao Shu looked at Jiang Wang, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Are you friends with Chu Yu"
He really couldn't figure it out, why would Jiang Wang be willing to help him They hadn't even said a word to each other before. Thinking about it, perhaps it was because he could get some interaction with Chu Yu there.
Jiang Wang shook her head. "Fate, it's not that simple."
Xiao Shu pondered for a moment, then asked again, “Don’t you want to ask me why I chose to steal the elixir and flee”
Jiang Wang said seriously: "I think, compared to satisfying my personal curiosity, how you resolve your current life predicament is a more important matter."
Xiao Shu gave him a long, hard look and then said, “Today I understand why you shone so brightly above all others last year at the Guanhe Terrace. I hope that in the future, I will still have the opportunity to sit and discuss matters with you.”
Then he tightly closed his mouth.
>
He studied the art of rhetoric and was adept at eloquence.
He is very good at making distant alliances and close attacks, too skilled at using others' strength to his advantage.
But he didn't accept Jiang Wang's help again, nor did he plead with anyone.
At this moment, he didn't intend to speak any further. Instead, just like Zhang Xun outside the city gate, he sat down on the street, closed his eyes.
The two prodigies of Dan Guo, one sat outside the city and the other inside the city, separated by several blocks, facing each other from afar.
There's a strange sense of fate about this.
>
Such a chaotic city, it seems to divide two lives, two destinies.
>
People are born different, and their destinies naturally vary.
Some people take it for granted.
...while others...do not recognize.
>
Just as Xiao Shu sat down, the Dao Yuan within his body immediately began to surge, churning like a storm. A light suddenly flared in the sky, brilliant as a star!
All present, including Zhang Xun who was still guarding the city gate, almost immediately understood Xiao Shu's plan.
He intended to, within these forty days, complete the Star Tower and use the power of the Six Senses Pill to immediately break through to the Divine Presence realm. This would allow him to overcome this inescapable predicament!
This is undoubtedly a very difficult, and even unbelievable thing.
Achieving divine favor is not a matter of simply eating and drinking. It's not something that comes naturally. Without someone guiding you, sufficient accumulation, and the right timing, attempting to reach divine favor is a perilous endeavor, even for someone as talented as Xiao Shu.

Geniuses often stand out from the crowd. Though they are abundant throughout history and across the globe, how many of these young prodigies can truly transcend the boundaries between humans and immortals
But then again, putting yourself in their shoes, this is indeed the only path that seems to offer hope.
In the same situation as Xiao Shu, even if anyone else were in his shoes and had identical conditions to him, they wouldn't be able to come up with a better solution.
Even with such a hasty assault, success seemed nearly impossible to achieve.
But no one can deny that once successful, he would have the qualifications to deal with Zhang Xun.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Shu sat cross-legged in the street, closing his eyes to break through. He was not willing to waste even a moment more.
The starlight on the horizon proclaims his feat.
The entire unredeemed city witnessed his courage.
He actually has such confidence, he actually dares to take such a step...
It's truly amazing.
When mountains are exhausted and water runs dry, there's no way to go. We carve through mountains and dig through rivers, gaining another day.
Only those of great wisdom and courage are capable of this.
Jiang Wang last cast a glance at Xiao Shu who was building the Star Pavilion, without uttering a word. He put his cloak back on, turned around, and walked away alone towards the city gate.
He walked quickly, in a hurry, without saying goodbye to anyone. He didn't want to give the court of Zhuang Guo any excuse to criticize him for not redeeming the city – perhaps Huang Jinmo didn't need one, but he always tried to do his duty.

Standing on the rooftop, Zhu Wei watched silently as everything unfolded.
Only then did he speak, " Lian Heng, get to work."
“Cease all communication. Within one hour, I want no one to spread word of Jiang Wang’s presence here through any channel. Anyone caught doing so will be executed.”
With a whistle from Lian Heng, countless figures of the Crimson Guard clad in blood-red attire appeared on every street and alley. Each one brandished their swords and sabers, their cold eyes scrutinizing every person in each district, proclaiming their power over this city.
"It's nothing." Lian Heng looked at Zhu Weilai very casually, "Then what"
This is a sample text. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Then..." Zhu Wei smiled, "I, and my junior martial brother Jiang, will wander the world together!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he leaped away.
“Huh”
Lien Heng was taken aback, but he couldn't even see the other person's back anymore.
And he turned his head to look at the prison tower. The criminal, Huang, who had been standing at the window on the fourth floor earlier, was now gone, and no one knew when he had disappeared.
Jiang Wang didn't intend to meet Zhang Xun again. He walked alone, heading towards a different city gate.

The city of Buqiong, located between the three kingdoms of Zhuangyong and Luo, was built on a vast plain.
In the lawless and untamed wilderness, a unique order was established.
After leaving the city, it wasn't long before Jiang Wangren was still traveling through the nameless forest, while Zhu Wei had already caught up.
At that time, sunlight streamed through the leaves, and he appeared suddenly, squatting halfway on a horizontal branch. His eyes, like cold stars, shone with arrogant brilliance.
The blood-colored guardian armor, which wasn't particularly striking, looked unusually vibrant on him.
Every time Jiang Wang thinks of Zhu Wei, she remembers the first time she saw him.
In that ink-stained night, a point of fire appeared.
Illuminating the long night, swaying in the cold wind, proud and sleepless.
"May your style be even more outstanding than before, Senior Brother!" Jiang Wang laughed.
“Seeing him for a moment, I also smiled. ‘It’s inconvenient to speak in the Mountains and Seas Realm. I was planning to have a good chat with you in Bu Xuecheng, but I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Jiang is so famous that he can be recognized everywhere.’”
Jiang Wang thought to himself, "Brother, what you're saying is different from what Zui Jun said. When you go back, you won't get beaten, will you"
"But on his lips, he said: "It's just that I happened to have met both Zhang Xun and Xiao Shu before, so they recognized me. As for Senior Brother Zhu's appearance, I think the whole city would be in an uproar!"
“Oh, no need for compliments, Junior Brother. Your fame has spread throughout the land, you were even the top scholar of last year's Yellow River Examinations!”
"Your senior brother's style still surpasses all, you just effortlessly subdued that Heaven's Pride who had once walked on the Guanhe Stage!"
I smiled slightly and said, “Two people who left their homes, yet they are so fond of praising each other!”
"Isn't this the traditional way" Jiang Wang spread his hands helplessly: "Just like you, a lone boat looking out over the river, I go to Lin's residence with a sword."
"Master Jiang, you killed Dong Ah on a rainy night. That made my investigation quite difficult," Wei said with a sigh.
Jiang Wang's tone also became light and gentle: "I wish you well, senior brother. I went without a sound, and I looked for your news for a long time."
Wei wiped a moment of silence, then lifted her head to look at the sky outside the leaves: “Until today, I can finally appreciate the sunshine so freely again.”
Jiang Wangdao said, "I think everything is worth it."

> Wei Wo jumped down and said, "I think so too!"
Two people looked at each other and smiled. In this nameless forest, they laughed inexplicably for a long time.
His laughter startled the birds into flight, shook the leaves on the trees, and even gave the sunlight filtering through the foliage a sense of freedom.
Nobody asked about each other's hardships, nor did anyone share their own burdens.
They all knew what they had been through, so they could understand each other.
All that there is, can be summed up in one sentence:—
I think everything is worth it.
"Speaking of which," Jiang Wang asked, "Brother Zhu just fought Zhang Xun in public. Won't that cause any problems"
"I, Zhu Weiyi, went into hiding in the city of No Redemption and practiced there. When I ascended to godhood, I left the city. Even the Crime Lord is unaware of this." Zhu Weiyi raised an eyebrow and said, "So what's the problem"
>
Jiang Wang was somewhat surprised to find that Zhu Shidi's raised eyebrow gesture was strikingly similar to Zui Jun's...
“Well,” he pondered, “after all, senior brother knows more about Zhuang Gao Xian and Du Ruhui than I do.”
This is just a placeholder.
"Besides themselves, who could truly understand them" Zhu Wei sighed and turned to say, "Of course, Noting City is more complex than you imagine. Otherwise, how could it stand between the three kingdoms and maintain such a profitable system with no apparent basis"

When Jiang Wangnian thought of the various things in the realm of mountains and seas, and considered that Huang Wei, who could return to reality from fantasy at any time, nodded slightly: "Brother, what you said makes me feel more confident... What are your plans next"
"Let's roam the world together!"
Jiang Wang thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I wonder if Senior Brother is just joking. Junior Brother still has a little reputation in Qi State, and Senior Brother is a prodigy. If you are willing to go to Qi State, you will surely be able to achieve great things there. However, I still have something unfinished that I can't finish yet and can't go back for the time being... why don't Senior Brother go first, and I will have someone welcome you"
Of course, Zhu Wei didn't intend to roam the world with Jiang Wang.
He also didn't ask Jiang Wang what unfinished business he had.
Just looking at Jiang Wang, his usually arrogant eyes held a hint of relaxed amusement, like that of an older brother who often teases his honest younger brother into doing mischievous things: "Do you want to see if Xiao Shu can succeed"
Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment: "Or forget it, it's too easy to cause trouble."
Zhi Wei gave a mischievous chuckle, hooking her arm through his and pulling him back. "Let's sneak quietly back now, who would ever notice As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest."
“Senior Brother, I haven’t heard of this being military strategy…”
Then you now hear it!thought I knew him very well, I always felt that he was scheming but lacked courage. Until the War of Xia, he surprised me.”Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"This time...
