Chapter Fifty-Seven: Farewell at Changting

ledged the truth of the matter in his heart.He turned back, looking at Jiang Wang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile."Long time no see." Jiang Wang greeted proactively.“Yes... a long time!” Yin Gu...No matter what expectations each party had, the Sancheng Lun Dao has finally come to an end.

The spectators from Maple Forest City dispersed, still buzzing with excitement. This time, the performance of the Maple Forest City Dao Institute was truly commendable, a source of pride for them.

Most ordinary people living in this city don't know what happened today.

The bloodshed in the dark rooms, the brawls in the alleys, the struggles between life and death, all passed silently, like air vanishing into the air.

The ripples caused by the Bai Gu Dao's upheaval had been calmed, and not even a trace of blood remained on the streets. Even those few unfortunate citizens who had witnessed the battle were silenced by an order.

For most people, today's event in Maplewood City was just a very exciting program.

Superiority cannot escape pain, and ignorance may not be happiness.

As for Wei Qiji, the seventeen skulls of white bone Dao cultivators piled before him, along with the many more that were not deemed worthy of collection, washed away his shame.

Wei Qiji said to Dong A, "Today's great hatred is avenged. It's better to organize the disciples of the Taoist Academy to recite a few times the Taishangjiukujing Sutra and transcend those innocent people who died in Xiaolin Town."

As a lord of a domain, he could finally offer a tribute to the small town of Kobori under his rule.

Of course, this is nothing difficult. The Taishang Saving Suffering Sutra, as a commonly used scripture for transcendence, is almost memorized by every Taoist cultivator.

But Dong A's attitude was cold: "What use is a soul-returning ceremony when one's spirit has been scattered"

Wei Quji simply felt this guy was utterly unreasonable. After just finishing their collaboration, he didn't even have the decency to show a friendly face. With this kind of personality, it's no wonder he was driven out of Zhuang Du in the first place.

When the Three Mountain City cultivators departed, Jiang Wang specially went to see them off.

He held a deep respect for Yang Xinyong and also greatly admired the willpower displayed by the cultivators of Sanshan City during this debate.

Compared to the vast procession from Mount Wangjiang, the cultivators of Mount Sanshan seemed lonelier and more scattered.

If it weren't for Dong A personally stepping in to treat them, they wouldn't even have been able to return to the city full strength—these people really put their all into battle.

Although Jiang Wang was able to come and see him off, Yang Xingyong was still very happy: "I lost gracefully. You are very skilled. I will challenge you again next year!"

After chatting for a few moments, Jiang Wang hesitated but still asked, "Since the Three Cities Debate isn't like the Grand County Examination, why are you all so determined"

Yang Xingyong fell silent.

"I'm sorry, if it's not suitable, consider I didn't ask." Jiang Wang said sincerely.

“Because we... because of Sān Shān City, it's very difficult.” Beside him, Sun Xiaoman, who had been in low spirits and silent all along, said.

“As for Sān Shān City, there are many mountains, many wild beasts, and many fierce beasts. Wild beasts are fine; they're just like food. But fierce beasts are quite a hassle...”

As Sun Xiaoman narrated, Jiang Wang roughly understood the predicament of Sanshan City.

The human race rose to prominence in ancient times, but before that, life was actually quite difficult.

Although it is now said that humans are the spirit of all things, in fact, most humans are born with blocked meridians. Only a very small number of people with talent can have their meridians manifest and naturally cultivate.

While demonic beasts each had their Dao veins clearly visible from birth.

Later, a top expert from the human race invented a prescription and made it public, which opened the curtain for the rise of the human race.

The name of this powerful warrior has been lost to the river of history, but his herbal formula has been passed down through the ages.

This prescription, is the original meridian-opening pill. Its main ingredient is the Daomai of a demonic beast.

From now on, members of this race need not be limited by their natural aptitude. With the Awakening Pill, they can all cultivate! This also means that an era of crazed beast hunting has begun.

Before his cultivation, Jiang Wang had always been puzzled by one question.

In such an era of burgeoning cultivation, why has the human race, with all its might, failed to clear the wilderness to this day Why do all the nations under heaven merely maintain smooth official roads, while leaving vast swathes of land to be traversed by beasts and demons at will

Because these monsters are resources! In a sense, those monsters are livestock. And the beasts and wilderness itself are merely the ecosystems needed to sustain their raising.

After all, monsters born with innate spiritual roots and celestial blessings are impossible to be domesticated.

And beasts are a different breed altogether. They possess immense physical power but lack intelligence, and even their meat is inedible. In essence, while beasts can be as destructive as demons, they hold no inherent value.

Hunting down ferocious beasts is a losing proposition, yet Sanshan City had to do it. This resulted in Sanshan City's actual long-term losses.

All the strong need resources, but Sanshan City always has more outgo than income. Even worse, there are too many ferocious beasts in the Sanshan City territory, it's impossible to kill them all.

They disrupt official paths, attack villages, and devour humans.

The environment of Sashan City dictates that most food is transported from outside, and local self-sufficiency is impossible. However, the poor condition of official roads actually increases the risk of transportation.

Especially recently, the San Shan City Dao Institute suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Heart-Eater Demon. San Shan City is now short-staffed.

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

The maintenance of the official road is the responsibility of the San Shan City region. To request Zhuang Ting to dispatch masters to clear it, one needs to offer equivalent resources. However, San Shan City simply doesn't have any surplus resources left at this point.

So, even with the death of their senior brother Chu Ping in the Three Mountain City Daoist Academy during the Three Cities Discussion of Dao, they still viewed it as a lifeline. They fought desperately on the martial arts field, not for their own honor, but for those behind them, the struggling fathers and mothers and relatives of Three Mountain City who endured difficult days.

"You know For every victory we have, at least ten more people in Sanshan City can live. " Yang Xinyong's eyes were clearly red, he lowered his head: "As long as we perform well..."

He felt guilty about his defeat, even though he had done everything in his power.

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.

He patted Yang Xinyong on the shoulder: "This year's top scorer in the Three Cities Debate, I got lucky and feel undeserving of the title. The fifty points of Dao Xun as a reward, after I return to the Daoist Academy, I will go to the Dao Xun Hall to transfer them to you."

Fifty points of merit is not a small sum. Although it cannot solve the problems of San Shan City, it can alleviate the immediate crisis.

Even stepping back, for Daoist disciples who record names in the Daoist decree, fifty points of Dao merit is equivalent to half a pill that opens the meridians, which is equal to half of an extraordinary cultivator.

This is precisely the strength that San Shan City most needs to replenish itself now.

“How is this possible” Yang Xingyong stared in astonishment.

Sun Xiaoman had already punched Jiang Wang in the stomach, "You're my friend now!"

She originally wanted to punch Jiang Wang's chest with all her might, but her height wouldn't allow it.

It was too destructive to jump and slam, so he just pounded on Jiang Wang's stomach.

Jiang Wang only felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. If it wasn't for the formidable strength of the Four Spirits Refining Body, he would have been finished this time.

This little girl, her punches are so powerful.

She just, couldn't bear to give up the help that the people of Sanshan City could receive because of her own shyness.

Then, see you later.

"See you later!"

A thousand miles' journey must end with a farewell.

Jiang Wang stopped at the city gate, bidding farewell to his new friends as they departed.

“Sister, buy me a new dress.” Little Fatty Sun Xiaoyan, wrapped in that hooded big black robe, walked around hesitantly.

His original clothes were torn to shreds in the battle.

"No money."

"I can't just go home like this It's such a long way, and so many people saw me! What if I get exposed"

"See, what's it like You're still a child."our turn to patrol.”"Where am I"Qin Hu woke up groggily, feeling a chill run through him. Outside, the wind howled fiercely. He felt a strange sense of unease in his heart."My lord, how could you be s...
