Chapter Fifty-Five: Soul Severed in the Gorge, Where Can Duk

tide, clearly reaching Ji Xuan's ears.The old man standing on the crest of the wave, his figure now stooped.Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!Wrinkles covered his face, and...As the hegemon of the Eastern Regions, Qi held absolute sway over the entire region.

Not only did it occupy the richest lands in the Eastern Region and rule over many vassal states, but it also secretly supported numerous sects on the nearby islands.

But not all forces in the Eastern Region were buying into the Jiang Dynasty's account.

Let's not even mention the Fa Family Sacred Land, Sanxing Palace, and the Eastern Sacred Land of Buddhism, Hanging Temple, which are both places beyond compare.

The fishing tower on the offshore islands, the East King Valley where medicine and poison are practiced simultaneously, these large sects are essentially independent nations, just lacking national institutions.

For example, countries like Qu and Zheng, located at the junction of the northern and eastern regions, also enjoyed full sovereignty and independent self-governance.

With the support of the northern nomadic kingdom and the powerful Jing Kingdom in the central region, these years they have truly dared to show their teeth to the Qi Kingdom.

Between the lands of Qu Guo and Dong Wang Gu, there is a vast canyon.

The place is called Duanhunxia.

This gorge is so long that it even exceeds the straight-line length of the Dongwanggu ancestral land.

It starts from Yonguo in the north and extends deep into the northern desert, said to be close to the endless quicksand.

>

Just as the eastern horizon is like a boundless ocean, so too is the northern end a desolate wasteland.

Endless quicksand is the most dangerous area in the desert that ordinary people can know.

> Because this canyon was so deep, so long, and extended to such a mysterious and frightening place. It was like traveling through the underworld, penetrating into hell.

People who walk through this place feel heartbroken. Therefore, it got its name.

This place has always been remote and rarely visited.

But at that moment, on the cliff of Duanhun Gorge, seven people stood.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That was a cross-section of the cliff, towering high and impossible to climb. Looking down, it stretched endlessly into the abyss, with no foothold in sight.

And these seven men stood firm like green pines, only their garments rustling.

A handsome man with eyes like cold stars stood before the crowd, subtly seeming to be their leader.

If Jiang Wang were here, he would recognize this person as Yin Guan, whom he knew in Youguo.

But seeing him, his long hair was scattered, his figure straight and tall. He wore a blue robe, with a pendant hanging from his waist. His sword eyebrows reached his temples, and he had a unique temperament.

These seven people, others either covered their faces with veils or masks, all did different disguises.

Only he revealed his true face and stood directly opposite the other six.

After escaping from You Guo, not much time had passed, but Yin Guan apparently hadn't wasted it.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

His breath was steadier and more powerful than before.

At this time, he summoned these six individuals, each with distinct auras but formidable strength. Of course, it wasn't to admire the scenery of Dugu Canyon. There was nothing to see here, nor anyone who wished to view it.

"Since we've decided to gather. With your talents, doing anything else would be a waste." Yin Guan spoke calmly, but even the strongest wind couldn't cover his voice, "The path of our powerful organization begins with murder."

"Well then." A raspy voice spoke from across from him, "What do we call our organization"

This is the translated text:

"Aren't we all people with nowhere to go, not even hell would open its doors for us"

Yin Guan stood facing the wind, his long hair dancing wildly. His gaze swept past these people's heads, looking towards who knows where.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Then, let's call it "Hell has no gates."

The scale of the Jiacheng city area in Rizhao County is similar to that of Fenglin City, or perhaps slightly larger.

The local Xi family has been in charge of this region for generations, so they are deeply rooted here.

The Tianqing stone vein of the Chongxuan family is located in Qingyang Town under the jurisdiction of Jiacai.

Hu You, the pavilion master of Qingyang Town, was considered Heavy Xuan's person in charge of affairs in Jiacheng. Because of this identity, Qingyang Town was not actually under the control of Jiacheng in fact.

As a vassal state of Qi, Yang often found itself unable to stand up for itself.

The output of the Tianqing stone mine suddenly decreased. After learning about the general situation, Jiang Wang's first judgment was that the problem or cause was between Jiaceng and Qingyang Town.

The entire Jiacheng city only has eight towns. When Chongxuan's family claimed a vein of ore here, it essentially took away one town. The Xi family couldn't possibly not have thoughts about this.

Although he wouldn't dare openly resist, it's quite possible that he secretly sabotaged the mine to exhaust it prematurely, forcing Chong Xuan Family to end their operations there ahead of schedule.

As for Hu Yu from Qingyang Town, having been in contact with Chongxuan's family for so long, it's unlikely that he would have the guts to sabotage things. Or perhaps he is not foolish enough to do so.

As long as the Chongxuan family's name is still on this mine, Hu You is the de facto emperor of Qingyang Town. He would do anything to prolong the life of the mine, let alone be so stupid as to destroy it.

Things are best kept simple, but Jiang Wang wasn't overly optimistic.

To know the truth, one has to investigate it personally.

This is also the reason why he disguised himself and appeared here.

The turquoise mine, in itself, is like a village. It has monks stationed there year-round and is protected by an array of protective magic.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Many miners live here.

There are also official roads connecting the mine to Qingyang Town, but for the heavy Xuan family's mine, it is clear that one cannot expect any protection from Yang Guo.

The so-called official roads are not safe enough, and the beast-repelling formations are rarely maintained.

Because the wilderness was dangerous, miners rarely left the mine. Every month, they were escorted back to town by monks who resided at the mine.

This should be translated to:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang came here specifically for the position of guard at the mine.

The Hu Shi Mine, that's the name of this azure stone mine.

A few signs, as big as a fist, swayed precariously above the entrance to the mining area.

The guards in the mining area are mainly there to prevent wild beasts, they don't really prevent people from coming. After all, criminals wouldn't get much by raiding a mining area, they couldn't exactly carry a pile of ore back with them.

Moreover, there are extraordinary cultivators stationed here. It is not worth it for extraordinary cultivators to rob this place, and ordinary bandits who rob this place are simply courting death.

Jiang Wang easily found the mine manager and expressed his desire for a stable job.

The manager of Hu's mine was also surnamed Hu, and he was a relative of Hu You.

The reason Jiang Wang knew this was because in just a few sentences, he had boasted about it three times.

"Well, you know, I'm related to Brother Hu, the head of this mine. Being in charge here is a big responsibility." Hu Guan said as he spat out two mouthfuls of dry tobacco and suddenly asked, "What's your name"

This is a test.

"Dugu An."

“Have you learned martial arts”

“Cultivator of the Meridian Realm.”

Thump.

>

Hu Guan shi rolled his backside to the ground.

He hurriedly got up and grabbed Jiang Wang's hand, his face filled with humility: "Master cultivator"

Jiang Wang withdrew his hand without a trace: "What, you guys don't accept extraordinary cultivators here"

The miners at the mine can safely travel to and from Qingyang Town every month, all thanks to the extraordinary cultivators. Of course, it wouldn't be possible here without a fee.

“Shh, shh, shh. ” Hu Guan said, slapping his thigh and with a sly look in his eyes characteristic of ordinary people, he glanced at Jiang Wangdao: "I'm afraid the conditions are difficult, you might not be interested."

"Just say it." Jiang Wang casually deflected, looking around.

He discovered something interesting soon after he arrived here.ntless advance, it leaped into the Nether Heaven!This is the end of a paragraph.This bizarre scene shocked everyone."Don't fall, if you fall, it's over."Let me know if you have other text you'd like t...
