Chapter 131: Like Abyss, Like Ocean
ge of Pingdanguo""It's very possible!" Lin Youxie said with righteous indignation.Jiang Wang silently watched them set up the stage and perform, without making a sound."Has Sir Jiang made any discover...As soon as Zhuge Jun entered the room, he burst into tears, sobbing loudly.
Sobbing to the point of heartbroken, weeping until one's liver and intestines were severed.
The sight of her tears left Duke Jiang speechless.
Weeping so much that even Wei Bofang couldn't stand it, he walked forward: “Alright, alright. The Palace Master has a lot on his plate every day. There’s no time for you to croon here.”
Wei Boyang was even more expressive than Zhuge Jun when he was alone, but in public, he was the most reserved of them all.
A completely honest and upright minister.
Zhuge Jun completely ignored him, continuing to look at Jiang Wang with tearful eyes and a tone of grievance: "Master Hall Leader, why didn't you look for your subordinate first when you came back You should know that your subordinate was the first one to pledge allegiance to you. Everything I have is given by the Hall Leader, and I am willing to give everything for you, regardless of life or death! In the entire Lingkong Hall, who can compare to my loyalty to you"
“Zhuge Jun, what do you mean by that” Wei Bofang was very dissatisfied: “My loyalty to the lord is no less than yours.”
Seeing the two powerful arms about to vie for favor, Master Jiang immediately said: "Your loyalty, this seat knows well. The things you have done, this seat has also seen with its own eyes."
He calmly pulled his leg back: “This time I came here for two reasons. Firstly, to check on you all. Secondly, to fulfill the promise I made earlier and help resolve any issues that arise during the sect’s development, issues that you are unable to handle yourselves.”
His gaze swept over the two of them, and he emphasized, "I have other things to attend to, time is limited."
>
Zhuge Jun immediately stopped crying. He knelt on the ground, met Wei Bofang's gaze, and quickly exchanged a look.
Finally, Wei BaFang spoke up: "The troublesome matter that we can't handle is the Wu Sheng Jiao. They have developed too quickly! Last July, we only started to notice this sect, and by this year, they were able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us, even surpassing us. We invited a powerful expert to serve as our protector, bribed officials, and asked the city lord's mansion for help in mediating, only barely maintaining the status quo... I am incompetent, Your Lord Palace Master, please punish me!"
"Who's in charge over there How strong are they" Jiang Wang asked casually.
Zhuge Jun replied, “The leader of this Wusheng Jiao is a figure known as the Earthly Ghost Messenger... He possesses supernatural powers with five aspects complete. My subordinates are truly unable to resist him.”
Zhang Linchuan is truly ambitious. Just from the positions of these Seventy-Two Earthly Branches, it's clear to see. Let alone his strength, this framework is built for a top-tier power. Back then, the White Bone Dao only had three Elders and twelve Skull Faces!
However, if you really think about it, without considering the White Bone Demon God, today's Wusheng Jiao is indeed much stronger than the original Bai Gu Dao.
At the beginning, even if all three elders of the Wusheng sect were combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for Zhang Linchuan now. And before that, Wang Changji said that Lu Yan, who had betrayed the Bai Gu Xie Shen, had also become a god through his innate Yin Eye.
In addition to these seventy-two Earthly Sha, what about the thirty-six Heavenly Stems Are they above them too
The entire Wusheng Sect's power has already completely surpassed the original Bai Gu Dao.
Of course, there were some demons who only cared about their own success in descending to the mortal realm and didn't care about the sect. But Zhang Linchuan's abilities were still clearly visible.
How long has the Wushengjiao existed since the demise of the Bai Gu Dao
From Yongguo to Chengguo, and then to the recently eradicated Jiao Guo by Wang Changji, Zhang Linchuan's layout is almost visible everywhere. Although most of them are developing in some small countries, the hidden power is already not to be underestimated.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun were able to develop Lingkong Hall into a thriving establishment, of course thanks to their talent. However, they were ultimately limited by their narrow perspectives, only seeing the kingdom as their entire world.
I thought that the ghost messenger was the leader of the Wu Sheng sect, but I didn't know that the Wu Sheng sect's influence had long been beyond a single country.
>
And, just any random Di Sha messenger could have divine powers
Is it so easy to achieve supernatural powers
Is it because the emissary of this earthly domain who manages state affairs is particularly powerful, or are there other reasons
"I understand," Jiang Wang said calmly. "What else"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send one away!"
Baiden Dao Ren was a famous solitary cultivator in Cheng Guo. He knocked on the doors of the four divine realms and obtained a supernatural power.
Divine ability cultivators are not ordinary cabbages.
This person has been traveling throughout the country practicing in the spiritual world for over ten years, their reputation is widespread, and they are a renowned figure.
He was invited by Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun with a hefty sum of money to help them counter the Wusheng Jiao.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At first, it was alright. I just did what was asked of me during the offerings.
However, as time passed, Zhuge Jun was merely a minor official in the two bureaus, Wei Bofang grew old and withered, and the four chief attendants were all ordinary palace servants without any supernatural powers. It was then that Bai Neng Daoist couldn't help but have some thoughts, wanting to take possession of others' nest.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun had to rely on Bai Nade Daoist to counter Wusheng Jiao. On the other hand, within their own sect, it became increasingly difficult for them to openly clash with Bai Nade Daoist.
In the world of cultivation, strength ultimately rules!
On this day, Wei Bo Fang suddenly summoned the high-ranking officials above Ling Kong Hall, saying that there was a major matter to announce.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The nine hall masters and four guardian deities have all arrived.
The two elders, Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun, had both taken their seats when Bainden Daoist finally arrived late.
He strode in from the palace gate, his voice languid: "Old Wei, what are you announcing today Why didn't you tell me beforehand Hahaha, aren't you going to promote me as the palace master and give me a surprise"
Wei Bofang sat in the seat of the leftmost chief elder, a smileless expression on his face: "Your joke isn't funny at all."
The position of the vice elder is opposite him.
And now, the only position of protector in Lingkong Temple is on his left hand side. It can be said that throughout the entire Lingkong Temple, it is second only to the elders. Sadly, people's desires are insatiable and their hearts are not content.
The main seat in this grand hall has been vacant for a long time. As everyone knows, it belonged to someone with a powerful family background, a person with the surname Dugu. Unfortunately, that person has not reappeared for quite some time.
>
A tiger's skin, worn for too long, reveals it is not a real tiger.
Thus, all sorts of thoughts arise.
Bai Nado shook his head and pointed at the seat reserved for the head of Ling Kong Hall. "Tell me, when will this position remain empty Waiting for whom That someone called Dugu something Where was he when you came begging to me When I fought tooth and nail against the masters of Wu Sheng Jiao, where was he"
"Maybe he's already dead!" He waved his hand in a downward chopping motion, his demeanor suddenly turning sharp: "Or maybe it was all just lies you made up all along!"

Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun suddenly convened all the high-level officials. A few high-level officials who had secretly pledged allegiance to him were also present. None of the other officials had received any advance notice.
Here's the translated text:

He instinctively felt something was wrong. Declaring his ambition openly now was both a test and a blatant display, allowing others to see where they stood.
He was determined to become the master of this Lingkong Palace and wouldn't bother with slowly nibbling away anymore. Let Wei Bofang and the others plot whatever they wanted; in the end, it would all come down to hard power!
Surprisingly
Facing such a strong questioning from the expert Bai Nado.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun surprisingly remained silent.
And then, tap, tap, tap——
The sound of boots hitting the ground echoed clearly through the hall.
A figure with a hooded cloak and hempen robes emerged from the back hall.
He didn't have any imposing aura. As he walked, he just seemed relaxed and calm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Bai Na Dao Ren frowned and glanced at Wei Bo Fang, then said: "Where did this stray ghost come from How can anyone just walk into our sect's important place during a high-level meeting"
"Look at me."
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He only heard a voice say that.
This voice was calm and clear, with an undeniable power.
He instinctively followed his gaze, wanting to see who this person was and what they wanted.
He only saw a flash of cold sword light!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Clank!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It seemed like the sound of such a long sword being drawn.
He seemed to have heard it, but perhaps he had already missed it.
His world brightened for a moment, then dimmed again.
This appears to be HTML code, specifically a closing paragraph tag. The English translation of this would simply be:">
" Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
...and then it never lit up again.
Under the gaze of all present, a blood line suddenly appeared on Baiden Dao's neck. Blood beads spattered out like a fountain, blooming into a short, fan-shaped arc in mid-air.
The blood beads fell.
The person collapsed with a loud thud.
But the figure cloaked and clad in sackcloth simply walked forward, striding toward the position that signified the Lord of the Lingkong Palace.
His hand was still a few inches from the sword hilt, and the long sword at his waist seemed never to have been drawn.
That glimmer of cold, seemed to exist only in an illusion.
The entire hall was deathly silent.
On either side of the main hall, in Lingkong Palace, all the high-ranking officials, including Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun, remained silent.
A renowned and powerful cultivator, simply perished like this.
Not even a scream.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Unutterable shock!
At this moment, only in the middle of the main hall, Bainai Daoist's body lay quietly there, facing the high platform throne.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang walked before the throne of the Ling Kong Hall's master, but did not sit down. Instead, he turned and looked down from his elevated position.
Compared to the places he had seen before, the hall of Lingkong Palace was definitely not magnificent.
But this is his territory.
His two hands controlled the eight blades of this place: Jue, Lu, Fei, Zhi, Sha, Sheng, Yu, and Duo.
Wherever his gaze fell, no one dared to look directly at him.
Such an imposing presence, it's easy to lose oneself in. Of course, for Jiang Wang, who had met the Celestial Emperor of Da Qi many times, this little bit of power was hardly worth mentioning.
In such a weak and vulnerable environment, what's there to care about in terms of life and death
He just pondered for a while, how the Son of Heaven could hold the universe in his hand, and how he could wield both kindness and severity.
After a brief silence that allowed the tension to build, he finally looked at Zhuge Jun: "Didn't I forget to ask something"
He pondered for a moment: "Oh right, what kind of magical powers does the Hundred Patch Taoist possess"
Zhu Gejun's expression changed drastically, he immediately stood up and knelt down: "My subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths! Because the master's divine power is world-renowned, my subordinate feels honored to be by your side. I became arrogant and didn't take Bai Na Dao Ren seriously, resulting in me forgetting to report his magical powers..."
Jiang Wang raised his hand and stopped him from explaining: "Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore."
He had never expected loyalty from figures like Zhuge Jun and Wei Bofang. He himself hadn't reciprocated with trust, because from the outset he understood that these people could be used, but not confided in.
At this moment, he moved his gaze, looking at the high-ranking officials here, and slowly said: "I am your lord, not fake, and I haven't died."
"Zhuge Jun, who was already kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said: "My lord submits to you! I wish for your boundless fortune and eternal life!"
Wei Bo Fang also immediately knelt down, his voice firm and strong: "Lingkong Hall Chief Elder Wei Bo Fang, pays respects to the Hall Master!"
All seven hall masters and four officiating priests present all knelt down in obeisance.
This is a placeholder for some text that should be replaced.
And the only guardian lay among them.
Jiang Wang raised his hand: “Get up, everyone.”
His gaze wasn't aggressive, falling calmly on each person.
This text is empty.
"I won't come to the sect often, but I will keep an eye on it. Ling Kong Hall isn't exactly a powerful sect, and its future is uncertain. But I hope it becomes your best choice. Perhaps we've met before, perhaps not... I hope we can meet again in the future."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He only said these few words, then waved his hand: “Alright, you all go down. Elder Wei and Elder Zhuge stay.”
“Lord Master, I have something to say!” Wei Bofang spoke up with a loyal and earnest expression. “It is not yet appropriate to end the meeting. Among those present, someone has secretly colluded with Bainei Taoist. They have long since lost their loyalty to you, Lord Master, and have no sense of belonging to Lingkong Palace. I am heartbroken and cannot bear to remain silent, but I must expose them to serve as a warning to others!”
>
Jiang Wangping calmly looked at him: "For this kind of thing, you can't talk nonsense without evidence."
"Since my subordinate dares to report to the Lord of the Palace, of course, I have already obtained evidence! Please allow me to present it."
Wei Bofang turned his head and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Bring it in!"
Immediately, two sturdy men carried a large chest into the hall.
"Just now, I had people raid Baidu Dao's home. All the evidence of his bribes and connections with others..." Wei Bofang pointed at the chest. "Are all in there!"
Several people on the scene immediately changed color and almost couldn't stand. However, no one dared to take the risk.
The strongest master, Baina Dao Ren, of Ling Kong Hall died a very clear death. They could see it all!
There was no room for struggle at all!
Jiang Wang glanced at the box and just smiled: "So many."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the entire box burst into flames in an instant! Soon there was nothing left but ash, burned to a crisp.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I'm ready when you are.
Wei Bifang was a little embarrassed: "Lord Palace Master, this..."
Jiang Wang raised his hand to stop him. “There’s no need to say more. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has times when they make mistakes.”
His meaningful gaze pierced through the cloak and landed on Wei Bofang's face: "And I often like to give my friends a chance."
He didn't care what Wei Bofang thought.
He walked down from the platform and approached a servant who had been beating with his heart, but whose expression was incredibly relaxed.
What is your name
The guard, his heart about to burst from his chest, spoke clearly: “My subordinate, Liu Meng.”
Jiang Wang only nodded slightly and said, "Elder Wei and Elder Zhuge are busy with countless affairs every day, and they have no time to spare. The Lingkong Hall should have three elders to share the burden."
As he said this, he patted the subordinate on the shoulder: "I think you'd be very suitable as the Third Elder."
Liu Meng's entire body went limp in that instant. He couldn't tell if it was fear or joy. He just knelt down, earnestly saying: "Thank you, Hall Master!"
Jiang Wang remained silent and said again, "The others can go down. The three elders stay."
The hall soon emptied.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang faced away from the three people, his tone still calm: "My time is tight, so I'll only say this once."
He held up three fingers, then lowered them one by one.
“Firstly, I will take care of the messenger from the Netherworld tonight.”
Second, Wusheng teaches you not to rush to exterminate them. While they are leaderless, try to arrange some people to infiltrate their ranks and understand what they want to do. Your actions must be covert. When I contact you next, I need answers. The more information you get, the more important it is, and the greater the rewards will be. Yuan stones and martial arts techniques are all negotiable.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for the third... I have a question I'd like to ask Elder Wei and Elder Zhuge. I remember that before you, there was a Grand Elder in the Lingkong Hall. What happened to him
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun looked at each other, both able to see the tension in the other's eyes.
Finally, Wei Bofang said: “Elder Song... he sacrificed himself heroically for the sake of the sect!”
Jiang Wang just smiled: "You take care of yourselves. See you next time."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And then he walked out of the hall alone.
The three elders of Lingkong Hall stood silently in the vast hall.
Watching the figure in a hooded robe disappear into the light.

Like an abyss, like the ocean, unfathomable.
