Free Web NovelChapter 861: Chapter 115 Kinfolk (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Di D!)
Is the Shimen Li Clan powerful?
The Binghuang Island also has rooted itself as a force overseas.
Is Li Longchuan competent?
He pierced through the years-long deceit on the Near Sea Archipelago and used it to greatly expand the influence of Binghuang Island.
However, Chen Zhitao was merely passing by when, with a casual command, he shattered a large part of Binghuang Island’s influence.
It wasn’t that his abilities were much stronger than Li Longchuan’s, but the power bestowed upon him by Diao Hai Building surpassed Li Longchuan’s by far in the Near Sea Archipelago.
Chen Zhitao, of the Divine Arrival Realm, was but a young disciple of the Diao Hai Building.
Is the cultivation technique of the Five Immortal Sect mysterious?
There was an Outer Tower Cultivator, four Inner Mansion Cultivators, and a Town Guard Sea Beast, which was not weak.
But they were manipulated by Granny Bizhu at her whim.
And Granny Bizhu was merely one of twenty-four actual power-holding elders of the Diao Hai Building, ranking among the lower elders.
The reason she could manipulate the Five Immortal Sect was not her own power, but the status that came with being an elder with real power in Diao Hai Building.
Jiang Wang, on his journey thus far, no matter how attentive or earnest, could see how much? It was only the tip of the iceberg. freewёbnoνel.com
Yet just this tip of the iceberg was already so colossal!
Indeed, he had resolved to save Zhu Bijing, and his determination was unblockable by the greatest difficulties.
Yet he could worry, feel uneasy, and fear dragging his friends into trouble—these were all natural emotions.
No matter how steadfast Jiang Wang’s Taoist heart, he could not entirely escape the mundane.
But in the eyes of Zhongxuan Sheng, this was unforgivable.
He knew too well how arduous the task was, he knew of the dangers involved even before Jiang Wang did.
In his eyes, Jiang Wang had determination, but not the true realization.
"If you’re still thinking about these messy things, then don’t bother saving Zhu Bijing," he said.
Zhongxuan Sheng’s gaze almost penetrated into Jiang Wang’s eyes—he seldom spoke to Jiang Wang with such seriousness, "I’m not joking with you, Jiang Wang, I’m seriously reminding you."
Jiang Wang was silent for a long while, "Alright. I understand."
He said with equal seriousness, "I am prepared to put in the effort and still face failure, and from now on, I am also prepared to drag you all down, to erase you and Jiang Wuyou’s maritime forces to nothing."
Zhongxuan Sheng watched him quietly for a while, ascertaining that there wasn’t a trace of falsehood in his resolution. He then extended his large palm and shook hands with him, "Congratulations Jiang Wang. Now I can say, your friend can be saved!"
After humbly accepting the criticism, Jiang Wang asked even more earnestly, "What should I do now?"
Without a doubt, he trusted Zhongxuan Sheng’s wisdom more than his own assumptions.
"Do as that old woman says, but don’t follow her words completely," Zhongxuan Sheng stated firmly. "First go and build a relationship with Yang Liu, and try to connect with Hai Jingping."
"That’s not a problem. Also..." Jiang Wang said, "I have my own channels, I may get some news from the Tian family. It might also be helpful for this matter."
Zhongxuan Sheng looked at him deeply, "It seems your trip to Seven Stars Valley was more fruitful than I imagined."
But he did not press Jiang Wang about what his so-called ’channels’ were, though he would have told him if asked at that moment.
Having grown up under scrutinizing eyes, he deeply valued the friendship with Jiang Wang, which was evident in various aspects.
In the end, he simply said, "Inform me of any sufficiently valuable news. You should be able to judge for yourself what news is valuable."
"Of course," Jiang Wang replied.
The two ended their communication and each left the Star River Pavilion.
As for the rescue of Zhu Bijing, there still wasn’t enough certainty, but it seemed to have become somewhat more resolute.
The Taixu Illusion Realm was really useful. If one didn’t consider the powers behind the Taixu Illusion Realm and the confidentiality of the message, and only considered communication, it had already surpassed any secret technique or treasure tool Jiang Wang knew of.
For instance, what Jiang Wang was doing after leaving the Taixu Illusion Realm.
He gathered water vapor, covering the copper basin inside the house with clean water, then he injected a Seal Technique into it, and used his index finger as a pen to draw a horizontal line in the water.
This secret technique from the Da Ze Tian Clan was named "Mirror Heart Lake."
As the name implied, it was supposed to reflect the "heart lake" of the caster into the water. The messages transmitted by the caster into the water would also be imprinted into the "heart lake" of the recipient.
Within a hundred miles, this sensing would not disappear.
Tian Chang hadn’t provided a way to contact over longer distances, perhaps because he was unwilling to do so.
The prerequisite for casting the "Mirror Heart Lake" secret technique was that the recipient had to allow their "heart lake" to be reflected.
And naturally, the recipient of this secret technique was Tian He, whom Tian Chang had designated to communicate information with Jiang Wang, because Tian Chang himself had important responsibilities and couldn’t disappear frequently. Otherwise, it would raise Tian Anping’s suspicions.
Of course, Jiang Wang wasn’t certain about the truth of this. It was just what Tian Chang had said unilaterally. They had a basis for cooperation, but suspicions were unavoidable at the same time.
After completing the "Mirror Heart Lake" secret technique, Jiang Wang didn’t wait for too long.
Perhaps because Tian family’s people had always been on Huai Island.
This time, Jiang Wang just sat at the table, brewing himself a pot of tea.
He had only taken two sips of tea when a middle-aged man with a wooden expression pushed the door open and walked in, naturally bringing the door to a close behind him.
The experience in Lost Heart Valley didn’t seem to have changed Tian He. He still seemed wooden and simple, appearing to pose no danger, harmless to humans and animals alike.
Jiang Wang glanced at the open window, then turned to Tian He, "I thought your arrival would be a bit more stealthy."
"The more ordinary things are, the less attention they attract. This is a little experience I’ve gained from living for a number of years," Tian He walked up to Jiang Wang and said calmly, "Do you have any orders?"
"That’s enlightening," Jiang Wang nodded and countered, "I asked Tian Chang to inform me of any news, so why has there been no reaction these past few days? Did he forget?"
"Only important news would be informed to you," Tian He corrected seriously.
He emphasized the word "important" quite heavily.
Jiang Wang smiled, "Tian Chang seems to trust you quite a bit now, telling you everything."
Tian He shook his head, "Tian Chang trusts no one."
He explained, "It’s just that the cost of betraying him is higher for me, so he is willing to entrust me with some relatively important matters."
As for why the cost for him to betray Tian Chang was higher, there was no need to explain that to Jiang Wang because he was fully aware of the inside story.
"Speaking of trust... do you think Tian Anping trusts Tian Chang? Why would he trust him?" Jiang Wang asked, "Tian Chang has shared his thoughts, but I want to hear your opinion."
Tian Chang and Tian He, from their appearances to personalities and even their way of doing things, were two completely different people. Yet in a certain sense, they were the same kind of person.
"Tian Anping doesn’t need Tian Chang’s loyalty, only his obedience. And until he has the capability to kill Tian Anping, Tian Chang will always be Tian Anping’s most loyal lackey," said Tian He.
"To prove this, Tian Chang killed the sole grandson of Tian Huanzhang. Of course, he did it cleanly. Apart from Tian Anping and me, no one else knows," he continued.
Jiang Wang remembered the name Tian Huanzhang. The person was the previous elder of the Tian family in charge of the Seven Stars Valley.
This news, Tian Chang himself would not tell Jiang Wang. He only needed to show enough value to ensure Jiang Wang wouldn’t upset the game. Anything more was a waste.
Tian He didn’t have to say it, but he took the initiative to say so anyway.
He was also showing his worth to Jiang Wang in his own way.
