Chapter 181: Liver and Gall Bladder, Trust Each Other

zed that no matter what he said, it would backfire. Jiang Wang perhaps sensed something and was determined not to leave the Hu family mine.If one plan fails, another is devised.Old Li is absolutely tr...Song Hengjiang's punch was exactly what Jiang Wang wanted to see.

This is a translation.

But it shattered his illusions.

Even though he was the one who saved Song Qingzhi's life, after learning the secret of the underwater demon's lair, Song Hengjiang wouldn't let him go.

For a moment, I was caught in a deadlock.

After Song Hengjiang kills Zhuang Chengqian, he will also take the opportunity to kill him. And if Zhuang Chengqian escapes, he will also attack the inner palace and shatter his soul origin.

He feigned compliance, surrendering control of his body and retreating to the deepest recesses of the inner sanctum. This was a strategy of strategic retreat, but now it seemed there might be no opportunity for advancement.

The three thousand rooms carved into the depths of the First Inner Palace were not his fortress, but more like his tomb.

He needed to find a way out before that moment arrived.

>

Seeking survival in a dead end, searching for possibilities in the impossible.

But... what else can we do

Zhuang Chengqian held a clear advantage within his own body, but for the "Zhuang Chengqian" in this world, he also needed to use every means at his disposal. With the cultivation base of an Inner Palace Realm, he had to protect his life from Song Hengjiang, who was in the Divine Presence Realm.

So he shouted, "Big brother, it's Chengqian!"

>

The fist stops, the tide fades.

Song Hengjiang's fist, hovered at Zhuang Chengqian's chin, then slowly moved to the right, allowing Song Hengjiang's murky eyes to meet his youthful ones.

“Zhuang Chengqian” twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression bitter, his voice heavy: "Big brother, it's me."

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

There was not too much surprise in Song Hengjiang's expression.

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

In fact, he also had a vague premonition.

This abandoned underwater grotto was discovered by him, his sister, and Zhuang Chengqian back in the day!

This was one of their youthful adventures.

If someone else in the world knew this place besides him, he couldn't think of anyone else.

But what he couldn't figure out was that Zhu Chengqian's death back then was something he had witnessed with his own eyes, there was no lie. How could he appear again after nearly two hundred years Was he not dead back then, or did he possess some kind of magical power to resurrect from the dead

"How do you prove it" Song Hengjiang asked.

‘Zhuang Chengqian’ had shed the carefree air of his youth, his eyes now filled with a weary world-weariness, as if lost in reminiscence. “This underwater lair, we discovered it together back then. The cave where Wanxi lived, I helped her set it up. My presence here is proof enough.”

"But I remember, my brother-in-law is already dead," Song Hengjiang said.

His voice also held imperceptible fluctuations of emotion.

To say that I had no feelings for Zhuang Chengqian would be impossible. After all, we were sworn brothers back then, our bond unbreakable. Zhuang Chengqian's last battle, his final stand, was fought side by side with me.

It's just that so much time has passed, he had long accepted the fact that Zhuang Chengqian was dead. Now, hearing that he was still alive came as a shock and was hard to accept.

“Zhuang Chengqian” said in a hoarse voice: “I am dead, but the underworld is the lair of bones. How dare I die”

His words seemed contradictory, but Song Hengjiang completely understood.

'Zhuang Chengqian' indeed died in battle that year, but his soul dared not enter the Netherworld because it was the lair of the Bone Sovereign God. In the Netherworld, he would have no chance to resist, and the Bone God would inevitably subject him to eternal torment.

So he died, but dared not truly die.

"Back then, when I killed Gu Yi, I caused the White Bone to descend into the world. In that battle, Big Brother, you were severely injured, and my physical body was shattered. It cost us such a heavy price to break the White Bone God's form and banish it back to the underworld..."

“Zhuang Chengqian” recounted: “My lifespan has been exhausted, yet I dare not enter the underworld. So, I discarded half of my soul and created an illusion of both souls being destroyed together. Afterward, I hid myself using the candlelight of the netherworld. It wasn’t intentional deception towards Big Brother, but truly, I was afraid of Bai Gu discovering the truth.”

Given the clear description of the battle details, there is no further doubt about Zhuang Chengqian's identity.

By this time, Song Hengjiang had retracted his fist and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a few more points: "Since it's you, why did you deceive me before, saying that you were Jiang Wang"

‘Zhuang Chengqian’ glanced at Song Wanxi behind him, his eyes filled with sorrow: “I was blind back then, I married the White Bone Saintess. This led to Wanxi being harmed by the White Bone Dao, and you too… because of the White Bone God's Endless Hope Cave…Big brother, how can I bear to face you”

Upon seeing his old friend, Song Hengjiang was clearly shaken. He spoke softly, "Since you remain in the mortal realm, how could you watch Mingqi die and allow Gaoxian to become what she is now"

Zhuang Mingqi was the son of Zhuang Chengqian and Song Wanxi, and the biological father of Zhuang Gaoxian. He was kind-hearted by nature and ruled with benevolence. His posthumous title was Emperor Dazhuangren.

After Zhuang Chengqian's unexpected death, it was he who stabilized the government and maintained peace. He led Zhuang Guo out of the vicious cycle of constant warfare, allowing it to recuperate and grow stronger. This laid the foundation for Zhuang Gao's later ambitions to conquer the world.

It's a pity he died young.

According to historical records, he died from a serious illness. However, the specific disease and the doctors who treated him are not mentioned in detail. It is only vaguely alluded to. Anyone with discernment can see the problem here.

At that time, Song Hengjiang was still closing the Changguan to stabilize the injuries left by Bai Gu Shen. When he came out of the pass, it was all too late. Zhuang Chengqian and Song Wanxi's only son had already died. Fortunately, Zhuang Mingqi had left offspring before he died, named Zhuang Guo, so that Zhuang would not become extinct after three generations.

‘Zhuang Chengqian’ closed his eyes, clearly reluctant to recall the past, but still said: “I wouldn't even dare to tell my elder brother, how could I let others know that my soul is still here The power of the soul candle is limited, and my soul is incomplete. It can only hide in the sealed bone vault, hiding for a hundred years. I don't know about Mingqi's affairs, nor could I participate in Gao Xian’s growth. The world doesn't know me, and I am ignorant of the world.”

"It was later that Bai Gu Dao's dead embers reignited. Feng Lin City Lord Wei Qiji sealed himself within the secret vault and took out the Yin Candle to lure the members of Bai Gu Dao. Only then was I able to see the light of day again. I cannot let the people of Bai Gu Dao find me, and piloting the Yin Candle alone cannot be sustained for long. It's a truly difficult situation."

"Speaking of this, he lowered his head to look at the body he was currently occupying: 'Later, I found the White Bone Seed in this young man's body. I then used him to transfer and hide it in his Heavenly Palace.'"

"Have you already taken possession of him" Song Hengjiang asked abruptly.

"It's not possession."

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

"'Zhuang Chengqian' shook his head with a wry smile: 'This is a long story. Bai Gu's heart to return to the world is unyielding, and he wants to create conspiracies in Fenglin City to destroy the city to refine alchemy. I vaguely sensed some traces of Bai Gu Dao's activities, but due to this young man's strength, I couldn't find out more, and there was nothing I could do. I could only try to pass on his Bai Gu escaping method through Mingzhu, secretly influencing his will, so that he could save Qingzhi before the disaster. It's also the only thing I, as his brother, can do for my elder brother.'"

Zhuang Chengqian spoke with conviction, sounding entirely truthful.

But Jiang Wang was very certain that he saved Song Qingzhi purely out of kindness. Because at the time, he didn't deliberately go to save Song Qingzhi, but happened to see her while saving An An. Saving Song Qingzhi was his innate kind nature, but it was just a matter of convenience.

When did Zhuang Chengqian at that time exert what kind of influence

Yet at this very moment, he took credit for this matter with Song Hengjiang!

Seeing Song Hengjiang's moved expression, it was clear he bought into it. For his sworn brother from back then, how to take care of and protect his daughter, he had absolute faith.

Jiāng Wàng, who was hiding in the First Inner Palace, could not expose Zhuāng Chénggān.

But he shrewdly sensed that Zhuang Chengqian was not sincere towards Song Hengjiang. They were not as close as brothers, sharing everything, as recorded in history books. At least from Zhuang Chengqian's side, this wasn't the case.

This gave him some brand new ideas, perhaps able to influence the situation.

As for this young man's body...

'Zhuang Chengqian' was still earnestly narrating lies, completely altering Jiang Wang's story. But in this world, there was indeed no one who knew Jiang Wang's experiences better than him.

"After leaving Zhuang Guo, he became obsessed with treasure during an expedition. He disregarded my advice and insisted on seizing it. In the ensuing struggle, he was killed by another. At that time, my power was insufficient to intervene, so I could only watch him die and be left as a corpse in the wilderness."

“Before his soul dissipated, he entrusted this body to me. His only obsession was for me to kill his teacher, Dong A. I cannot tolerate such a treacherous official holding power in the court, so I agreed.”

"Later, through arduous cultivation and long journeys, the hardships encountered along the way need not be recounted..."

“Zhuang Chengqian” sighed: “I went as far as the state of Qi, experienced many stories, and gradually regained some strength. I finally saw a glimmer of hope. As for my future life, I have made some plans.”

“This time back to Zhuang Guo, first, I wanted to visit Wanxi's grave. Second, I yearned for my homeland. And third... it was to fulfill this young man's wish. After much hardship, I finally killed Dong A, allowing the soul of this young man to rest in peace. I can finally use this body calmly and restart my life.”

"When I was being chased by Du Ruhui, I didn't want to expose my identity, so I hid here. I thought that no one knew about this place, and I could be alone in Wanxi's former residence to reminisce..."

>

His sorrowful mood shifted, becoming both angry and guilty: "I never expected the descendants to be so unfilial, forgetting our brotherhood pact from back then. They're using their power to bully the Water Prefecture. Big brother, I...I am truly ashamed!"

After revealing his identity, the biggest flaw was that as the founder of the Zhuang Kingdom, he killed Dong A, a loyal deputy prime minister, for what reason This even led to the current prime minister Du Ruhui pursuing him.

But before Song Hengjiang could ask, "Zhuang Chengqian" naturally filled in the gap.

It is only natural for the recipient to receive and the sender to relinquish.

If lying has levels, Zhuang Chengqian's skills in this area would certainly not be below his cultivation level. At least he is a master of lies at the level of a contemporary real person.

Disguising as Jiang Wang was a set of words. Faced with the fact that Jiang Wang's identity could not save his life, he confessed his true identity and offered a completely different set of words.

And completely integrated into their "new experience," it still sounded plausible, genuine, and full of emotion.

You know, this was just a temporary improvisation.

If it weren't for Jiang Wang, or the "young man" he was talking about, I might have believed it! HTML tags intact.Therefore, it will not change."Oh." Xiang said, "Standing up for a friend"Qin Zhizhen said, "You broke his sword and took away his fame. As his friend, I should at least demand an ex...
