Great Dao Lord through Deducing Myriad Arts

Chapter 249: Chapter 212: Important Information, Setting Off

### Step 1: Contextual Analysis

**Literary genre:** This appears to be a Chinese fantasy/adventure web novel, potentially with historical or martial arts elements (wuxia or xianxia).

**Language style:** The text uses formal narrative with dialogue exchanges. It contains elements of violence, intrigue, and strategic thinking.

**Tone:** Serious, somewhat dark, with elements of tension and violence.

**Plot keywords:** Assassination, interrogation, foreign technology, revenge, departure

**Characters:**

- Wu Liangchen (武良辰): Male protagonist, appears to be skilled in combat and cunning

- Miyagi Yoshiaki (宫城良树): Male antagonist, a proud foreigner/nobleman who is wounded by Wu Liangchen

- Pang Hao (庞豪): Male, appears to be a subordinate of Wu Liangchen

- Referenced: Monarch (国君) of what seems to be a country or city

The scene involves Wu Liangchen interrogating Miyagi Yoshiaki about some powerful item/technology from overseas, then initially appearing to spare him but ultimately killing him after noticing his vengeful intentions. The next day, warriors who were associated with Miyagi flee the city upon seeing the carnage. Wu then prepares to leave the city himself.

### Step 2: Integrated Translation and Polishing

Now I’ll translate the text while applying all the necessary rules:

"You say this thing was brought in from overseas, but from which specific foreign country?" Wu Liangchen asked.

The world map of this world was somewhat similar to his previous life, with numerous overseas countries, many of which were stronger than Great Yan in both territory and national power.

For instance, the rubber tires Wu Liangchen had pulled on carts earlier came from An Nan Country overseas.

"It’s not from any of these overseas countries." Miyagi Yoshiaki shook his head.

Wu Liangchen was slightly taken aback. "Then where is it from?"

"It’s from a much more distant place. I don’t know exactly where, but from fragments of information, one would need to cross extremely vast seas to reach it."

Wu Liangchen frowned. "Then how did you get this thing?"

"It was from Folangji merchants. These people have channels to contact merchant ships from this place, and these items were sold to the Monarch by them."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liangchen gave a cold laugh. "Do you take me for a fool? How could those Folangji people possibly sell such powerful things to others?"

"I don’t know the specifics, but this is the information I’ve heard," Miyagi Yoshiaki said.

Wu Liangchen examined him for a moment and, seeing no signs of deception in his expression, knew he probably wasn’t lying.

It was normal that he only knew the general outline of such important information.

If he had recounted the entire story in meticulous detail, that would have been more suspicious.

"Alright, you’ve cooperated well. As promised, I’ll spare your life, but only for tonight. If I see you in Dinghai City tomorrow, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

With those words, Wu Liangchen turned and left.

Miyagi Yoshiaki nervously watched Wu Liangchen’s retreating figure, fearing he might change his mind.

Fortunately, Wu Liangchen vanished into the night in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Miyagi Yoshiaki heave a sigh of relief. He struggled to his feet and limped to the door, where he saw the hallway outside littered with corpses, the floor stained red with blood.

These retainers and guards had followed him across the sea, hoping to achieve merit and fame, but instead lost their lives to a mere pebble. How tragic.

The veins on Miyagi Yoshiaki’s hands bulged as a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.

’Wu Liangchen, just you wait. I may not be able to kill you now, but I can start with the people around you.’

’Sooner or later, I’ll make you pay!’

Miyagi Yoshiaki truly despised Wu Liangchen, not only for seriously injuring him today but for destroying his pride.

This was absolutely intolerable for Miyagi Yoshiaki, who had always held himself in high regard, even considering himself an unquestionable heaven’s chosen one, an absolute protagonist.

But just as he was contemplating who to target first, his peripheral vision caught a flash of white light. He was startled and shouted:

"Wu Liangchen, you don’t keep your—"

Before he could finish, the white light had already reached him and shattered his skull.

THUD. The corpse collapsed to the ground.

Then Wu Liangchen appeared outside the window, looking at the still-twitching body on the floor, and said indifferently.

"I really did intend to spare your life, but seeing that vicious expression on your face, I knew you had ill intentions. So I decided to just kill you outright and save myself future trouble."

It turned out Wu Liangchen hadn’t left at all but was hiding in the shadows, observing.

When he saw Miyagi Yoshiaki’s ferocious expression, Wu Liangchen knew this man couldn’t be allowed to live, so he directly ended his life.

Afterward, Wu Liangchen inspected the place once more, swept up everything of value, and then left.

The next day, when the group of ronin warriors came to pay their respects, they were scared witless by the horrific scene.

They had visited Miyagi Yoshiaki just last night and listened to this noble from Heian-kyo expound on many passionate principles.

They never expected he would lose his head today.

This showed just how dangerous Dinghai City was.

With this in mind, the warriors dared not linger any longer and rushed to flee Dinghai City by boat.

When the news reached Wu Liangchen’s ears, he smiled slightly and said to Pang Hao:

"I’ve handled everything. The rest are just routine matters that you can manage."

Though Pang Hao was reluctant, he finally nodded.

"Yes!"

Then he hesitantly continued: "Master Wu, the brothers want to hold a farewell feast for you tonight. What do you think..."

"That won’t be necessary. I’ve already packed my things and will be leaving today. As for the feast... we’ll drink when I return."
