Chapter 73: Fellow Travelers

ones, became the best kindling.While Wang Changji stood beside the White Bone Cauldron, his aura surged higher and higher.His skin turned a ghastly white, but within that pallor, there was a faint gli...Having exited the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness, these past few days Jiang Wang had reached 71st place on the Sword-Testing Platform's Inner Courtyard ranking. Soon, he would be able to face off against Zuo Guangshu once again in a match on the Sword-Testing Platform.

With the current strength of soul and spirit, exploring the inner depths is faster. The second inner chamber has over three hundred spaces, two secret storages have been discovered but were not satisfactory, so they were lightly overlooked by Jiang Wang.

One way to quickly boost your power is by using the instant spell of the Second Inner Palace Seal.

Each inner palace only has one opportunity for a unique instant-casting Dao technique. Generally, powerful individuals wouldn't choose a Dao technique mastered by too many people. In this choice, "rarity" is better than "powerfulness".

Even the most powerful magic techniques, if studied too extensively, can be cracked.

At the time when Jiang Wang condensed the small and large Zhoutian cycles in Tongtian Palace, he engraved both Yan Hua (Flame Flower) and Wu Qi Bi Hu (Five Qi Binding Tiger). One was a gift from Dong A, and the other from Chong Xuan Sheng. Back then, he had no resources. When encountering high-quality Taoist arts, there was no room for picky preferences.

But later, Jiang Wang grew rapidly, becoming strong and powerful in a solid and fast way, and gradually he also had the qualification to be picky.

In the spiritual realm, it is said that "every time a palace (refers to a level of attainment) is opened, it's like opening another palace."

Besides adding a new source of human power, every time you open an inner palace, you can also imprint another instant spell.

When Jiang Wang was at the First Inner Palace, he carefully chose the Decrepit Wood Jue. This is a highly targeted Dao technique, and needless to say. The choice of Dao techniques in the Second Inner Palace is naturally very important.

Some esoteric arts, when studied thoroughly, can shorten the casting time as much as possible. But even if it's reduced to within a breath, it's still not as fast as instantaneous casting.

When masters clash, life and death often hang in the balance of a single moment.

But rare and valuable Taoist techniques are hard to come by.

Apart from diligently practicing, during this time Jiang Wang also repeatedly studied with Chong Xuan Sheng methods to save Zhu Biqiong, formulating many plans and making numerous preparations. However, since he hadn't personally visited the nearby islands to observe, he couldn't make the final decision.

This morning, Chong Xuan happily shouted at Jiang Wang outside the door: "Brother Wang! Someone is looking for you!"

Jiang Wang stopped exploring the inner palace and as she walked out, she asked, "Who is it"

Zhong Xuan's voice urged, "A woman!"

Jiang Wang pushed open the door and saw three people standing side by side outside.

The obese Chong Xuan Sheng, clad in black armor, and fourteen... Lin Youxie, adorned with a green square scarf.

Here's the translation:

Jiang Wang immediately wanted to close the door. Now seeing this green card, he had a headache.

“Master Jiang!” She actually greeted him quite enthusiastically.

"tsk tsk tsk." Chong Xuan laughed, a sly grin on his face. "Little Jiang, you're quite the charmer, aren't you Even your romantic debts have found you! When did you meet them"

Jiang Wang glanced at Fourteen helplessly. The meaning was — you don't care

Unfortunately, fourteen eyes do not slant, and even under the black helmet, no expression can be seen.

In contrast, Lin Youxie smiled and looked at Chong Xuan Sheng with a calm expression: “Young Master Chong Xuan, we are purely colleagues.”

Jiang Wang was afraid that Chong Xuan, lacking foresight, would blurt something out and cause trouble. Zheng Shangming had reminded him that this Lin Youxie wasn't someone without connections and was hard to mess with.

Therefore, he quickly spoke: "Head Lin! I wonder what brings you here so early in the morning"

"Master," Lin Youxie bowed, "Didn't you forget your mission"

>

She also reminded him, “Jindzimen.”

Jiang Wang felt a sense of unease: "This matter is under my control, and I will be leaving soon... This has nothing to do with Captain Lin, right"

"How come" Lin smiled wickedly, a brilliant smile that revealed her pearly white teeth. "This case is under the joint responsibility of this official and Lord Jiang!"

“How could I possibly be unaware of this matter”

Lin Youxie smiled, pulling out a piece of paper. “This is the official seal of the Imperial City Inspection Department. It has the Great Seal of the Northern Army Commander, Sir Jiang, you can check it.”

"Let me have a look!" Chongxuan's fat hand suddenly stretched out from the side.

He certainly wouldn't be as clueless as Jiang Wang worried. In fact, when Lin Youxie came to visit, he had already ordered someone to look into him. He was just joking around now, not wanting this woman to affect Jiang Wang's trip to the nearby islands.

Lin Youxie did not dodge, allowing him to take the official document. He just smiled and said: "Remind me, Master Chongxuan, destroying official documents is a serious crime. Also, I want as many of these documents as I want."

“Rest assured, Captain Lin. This young master’s hands have always been steady!” Zhong Xuansheng wasn't embarrassed to be called out, and even smiled brightly.

He looked at it thoughtfully, then passed it to Jiang Wang: "It seems to be true."

Of course, this is true.

Given Lin Youxie's relationship with Zheng Shuming, which made the latter wary, it wouldn't be difficult to fabricate such a document.

Just, as the one being relentlessly pursued, Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel helpless.

“ … I can handle this myself.” he said.

“Lord Jiang, with your extraordinary talent bestowed by heaven, of course you are capable! Even the King Yama, who doesn’t have a gate to hell, can’t escape your eyes. How much more so for a mere traitor from the Golden Needle sect” Lin Youxie said confidently: “I was just following suit and learning!”

...Jiang Wangzhen regretted that he had taken credit for the achievements of chasing Hell's Gate and Yama.

Again with King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang, what a bother!

Now Lin Youxie has found something to criticize me with, and brings it up at every opportunity.

“This is the first Azure Card mission I'm facing alone. Can I handle it myself” Jiang Wang’s tone had softened somewhat.

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

He really didn't want to associate with someone as shrewd and perceptive as Lin Youxie, a seasoned card shark. The thought of his secrets being easily unearthed made him quite uncomfortable.

But Lin Youxie only smiled, not responding at all: “The subordinate has been waiting for several days. As the lord hasn't made any move, I came here to inquire. Of course, the lord has his own reasons, and the subordinate can depart at any time. I will definitely learn from the lord.”

...We can't reach an agreement...

Jiang Wang had a severe headache.

He never quite figured out how he had caught the attention of Lin Youxie.

“Cough!” Chong Xuan gave a clear cough: “Brother Jiang Wang, when dealing with cases, it's inevitable to go to some places where the information is complex. For example, Red Sleeves Inn, Tianxiangyun Pavilion and so on, we might have to visit them, gather intelligence! Sometimes, it’s more convenient to work alone.”

This was the plan he came up with for Jiang Wang. He wanted Jiang Wang to use places like brothels to make Lin Youxie think twice and back off.

"It's okay." Before Jiang Wang could speak, Lin Youxie had already chuckled and taken over the conversation.

"This official has been handling cases for many years, where hasn't he been What scenes hasn't he seen Sir Jiang, feel free to ask him anything."

She intentionally put emphasis on ‘Tao Ke Information’.

"This official can learn right here!"

This young woman is utterly unmoved, and seems to know far more than Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang knew there was no escaping it, and couldn't help but sigh: "You're really going with me"

“It is my duty, and I shall not shirk it!” Lin Youxie hinted at something with his words.

Jiang Wang looked at her for a while, then made a decision: "Good! Since we have the chance today, let's set off right away!"

Anyway, we've discussed what needed to be discussed and prepared what needed to be prepared. There's no need to wait in Linzi any longer.

Lin Youxie only smiled, without the slightest fear: "As you wish!"

Zhonghuan glanced at Shi Fourteen, noticing that he was also looking at him. In the end, he didn't say anything more.

He trusted Jiang Wang's decision, just as Jiang Wang trusted him with everything else.

At the end of February, Qi State's fourth-rank official, Jiang Wang, set off for the nearby islands to handle the Jinyinmen case.

Accompanying him was Lin Youxie, a fifth-rank blue-ranked arrest head.Han Yin.Conversely, Han Yin also used his strategic importance to keep the Zhuang army firmly pinned down at Suolong Pass. Once reinforcements from various regions arrived and gathered at the pass, th...
