Chapter 1503: Chapter 161: As in Remembrance“Interesting.”
The same three words, when spoken by Zhongxuan Sheng, carried a sense of ease and jest.
Shisi remained silently following behind, not uttering a word.
Li Longchuan walked beside him, casually asking, “Brother Chongxuan, who are you referring to?”
Zhongxuan Sheng smirked, “All of them are interesting.”
Li Longchuan shook his head and sighed, “I really didn’t expect Gao Zhe to make such a move. We used to drink and eat together; he didn’t seem like someone who would lose control like this.”
“You’ve not seen him for too long, unaware of the celestial days he’s been having in Jinghai County. An eternal second finally turning the tables, it’s only natural he’s insufferable.”
After the Battle of Extinction, the rewards were divided by Zhongxuan Chuliang, granting the Gao family a position as town pacifier, thus forming a connection between the two families. It was through this connection that Zhongxuan Sheng came into contact with Gao Zhe, which could be considered part of his ventures,
but talking about the somewhat ‘out of control’ Gao Zhe at this moment, he still spoke with much ease: “In different positions, people present entirely different facets; that’s the face of most people. How many are as straightforwardly stupid as Jiang Qingyang?”
“Hahaha.” Li Longchuan laughed: “I can’t guarantee Jiang Wang won’t hear this.”
“Oh, would I be afraid of him?” Zhongxuan Sheng retorted defensively and then smoothly shifted the topic: “This Lin Xian is not simple.”
“Indeed.” Li Longchuan’s expression turned serious: “His strength has significantly improved since the Guanhe Platform period.”
Li Longchuan, possessing the Candle micronotice divine skills, naturally had a precise judgment of Lin Xian’s strength.
But what Zhongxuan Sheng wanted to convey was not just about strength.
He shook his head: “It’s more than just strength.”
“Indeed.” Li Longchuan’s sharp eyes shifted slightly: “This person could immediately discern from one sentence that Gao Zhe’s relationship with Jiang Wang wasn’t solid, and there’s a rift with us. He decisively stomped on Gao Zhe to establish dominance, sweeping away the suppressed atmosphere since arriving at Star Moon Plain… His intelligence and decisiveness are beyond ordinary, not merely due to superior strength.”
“Ha, talking with you is easy.” Zhongxuan Sheng laughed: “Much easier than talking with Jiang Wang!”
Li Longchuan also laughed: “Kicking someone while they’re down feels satisfying, but sealing my lips won’t come cheap.”
“This Lin Xian, eh.” Zhongxuan Sheng naturally brought the topic back: “He unabashedly extolled Jiang Wang, shedding the reputation of arrogance while reducing his own threat, thus being clear-headed and self-restrained. Grabbing opportunities to show his edge, standing up to Gao Zhe, shows his bold confidence. Under the current situation at Star Moon Plain, he manages to maintain prestige and national dignity; this person has the talent to uphold the Tally!”
The envoy travels by the emperor’s command, bearing a tally as proof.
Those who can represent the Son of Heaven to other countries must be of first-rate talent.
Internally, they must not violate the emperor’s will; externally, they must not lose the nation’s dignity.
Zhongxuan Sheng’s words were indeed high praise.
And Li Longchuan just nodded, not finding anything inappropriate. Lin Xian’s performance deserved such acclaim.
Rong Country had secretly nurtured its Inner Mansion geniuses for years, hoping to make a name for themselves at the Yellow River Gathering, yet they didn’t even make it to the final competition. Now they are forced to send out the top genius of the country to the battlefield, suffering from start to end; not being despised is impossible.
Yet Lin Xian used Gao Zhe’s provocation as an opportunity to completely change his image. For anyone, under the same conditions, it would be difficult to do better.
Perhaps…
Li Longchuan pondered. If Zhongxuan Sheng were in that position, Gao Zhe’s actions might well have been pre-planned, with an even better outcome. If Jiang Wang were in that position, Rong Country would have already succeeded at the Yellow River Gathering…
From this perspective, although Lin Xian is a good talent, he still has a long way to go.
“I’m just curious now…”
Zhongxuan Sheng raised his eyes towards the distance: “What did Jiang Wang do to earn such acclaim from a talent like Lin Xian?”
As the war began, the Taixu Illusion Realm was blocked, so he was unable to promptly contact Jiang Wang and didn’t know about Jiang Wang’s recent status. Until Lin Xian spoke today, he thought Jiang Wang was still hiding somewhere cultivating.
“I suppose…” Li Longchuan also looked into the distance: “It’s another time of great events!”
From the moment Jiang Wang received the task of investigating the Huang Yixing case, it had been a turbulent journey, from Qi Country all the way to Jinguo, from being accused of treason, to the crime of communicating with demons, from Equality Country to Zhao Xuenyang… It was a perilous path, ultimately stirring up a storm across the land.
Even the battle at Star Moon Plain was triggered by his disappearance.
As a friend of Jiang Wang and a member of the Shimen Li Clan, the news of Jiang Wang’s safety was no secret to him. He too was very curious about what Jiang Wang had done to earn such praise from Lin Xian.
He only regretted being on the battlefield, unable to immediately seek him out for inquiry.
…
…
A thousand people have a thousand thoughts; Jiang Wang was unaware of how people at the gathering of forces in Star Moon Plain were discussing him.
Bidding farewell to Yu Beidou and leaving Broken Soul Gorge alone, he stood at the mouth of the canyon, listening to the wind whistling through it, momentarily tempted to draw his sword and shout.
In the end, he restrained himself.
The experience of surviving by a hair’s breadth wasn’t pleasant, and being powerless in the situation was even more unpleasant.
Looking back at Broken Soul Gorge, he raised his index finger. Smoke condensed into the shape of a green grass blade, swaying gracefully as it left his fingertip.
The secret technique of pursuit derived from Yu Beidou’s assistance in deduction, acclaimed as “If there’s a confrontation, the Spirit perceives, within three days it does not sever, even a thousand miles it can pursue.”
It’s based on recognizing the target on a Spiritual Soul Level, imprinting it to form a Spiritual Soul Level response, thus enabling the possibility of pursuit.
To describe it simply from a practical perspective, on one’s own Spiritual Soul Level, the relevant characteristics of the target’s spirit are imprinted, forming a kind of response similar to a “child” and “mother” between them.
Viewed from this angle, this technique still merits the name of pursuit, implying the longing of a wayward child to return home, quite fitting indeed.
He used this technique at the moment, naturally to pursue the Masked Demon.
Of the four Human Demons, three were killed, but it was still not satisfactory.
Eliminating evil requires thoroughness, and since his body was completely restored, he might as well engage in a hunt!
The pursuit secret technique was refined, indeed after Yanzi had fled, yet before their escape, Jiang Wang had already prepared for a spirit slaughter, with the Eye of Qian Yang activated, possessing a relatively clear understanding of her spirit.
Describing it anew at this moment was not difficult.
The only considerations being time and distance.
Because everyone’s spirit is constantly changing, and this type of Spiritual Soul Level response isn’t stable, it can last for at most three days, with certain distance limits.
Currently, the distance limitation depends on Jiang Wang’s own Spirit and Soul Power.
At his fingertip, the grass of reminiscence appeared, with the veins of its leaf shifting, vaguely forming the silhouette of a woman.
If not looked at closely, it was unnoticeable, but it indeed concentrated the spirit characteristics of the Masked Demon into a spirit mark.
The first step of pursuit was achieved; next was to see the response between it and the “imitated” spirit essence.
Too long a time would not succeed, too far a distance would also not succeed.
The grass leaves swayed for a moment, then gently tilted down, pointing towards the southeast!
“The little grass bows, as in pursuit. The past may be pursued, the future can be reached.”
Jiang Wang soared up, piercing through clouds and sweeping far away.
Leaving only the sound of fluttering green clothing, as if echoing with the mournful winds of the ever-unchanged Broken Soul Gorge.
