Chapter 970 - April 22

Words : 1650 Author : Deep Feelings

Chapter 970 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts with unexpected events: Jiang Wang paid no mind to how Chen Zhitao controlled the situation.Seeing that Chen Zhitao... Find out more!

Jiang Wang paid no mind to how Chen Zhitao controlled the situation.Seeing that Chen Zhitao had no intention of saying anything more to him, he sat back down next to Ji Shaoqing.

This time, however, he sat down in a grand manner and began to recuperate.

It seemed he truly intended to wear down Ji Shaoqing to death and was indeed preparing to face any cultivator of the same rank.

The young cultivators of Diao Hai Building had all dispersed, their pride wounded, now seeking to prove their bravery in the aftermath.

Those who remained nearby were from various minor factions, as well as cultivators from JueMing Island and Yang Valley.

Though the Seize Sea Alliance had been established, encompassing nearly all sects of the Near Sea Archipelago, the original power divisions hadn’t changed much.

JueMing Island and Yang Valley remained powerful, with Diao Hai Building’s expansion mostly absorbing the originally neutral sects.

The cultivators of Diao Hai Building were unwilling to watch their own elite warrior being slowly tortured to death, whereas the cultivators from JueMing Island and Yang Valley wanted to observe closely.

Especially for the cultivators from JueMing Island, it was a matter of shared honor.

Watching Jiang Wang silence the uproar with but a few words, seeing the masses of cultivators rendered speechless, watching the young cultivators from Diao Hai Building, who had grown arrogant since the formation of the Seize Sea Alliance, lose all spirit under Jiang Wang’s pressure, and having to rely on Chen Zhitao to squeeze out tears for redemption.

Jiang Wuyou, holding the Fangtian Ghost God Halberd, only wanted to burst out laughing.

What is an elite warrior?

What is a Great Qi elite warrior!

The meaning of being a Great Qi elite warrior is to be considered a top-tier elite warrior in Qi Country, and thus, anywhere in the world!

Looking at Jiang Wang, who had already entered a state of cultivation.

She felt even more satisfied.

With such a huge investment in Jiang Wang, there had been constant troubles along the way, always a feeling that she might lose everything she had put in.

Many people around her didn’t understand or support the decision.

Even Mr.

Mo, although he supported her, did so with the reasoning “We’ve already invested so much, this one isn’t much more.”

The request for assistance from Qi Xiao to speak in their favor, the intelligence operatives from Diao Hai Building who were of lower official rank, even the huge risk taken by providing that guidepost, not to mention the many occasions she personally intervened to support…

Back then, no one thought Jiang Wang was worth such a heavy bet!

But what about now?

Others may not know, but she was aware that Jiang Wang must have already obtained three Divine Skills.

Because Buzhou Wind wasn’t a Divine Skill that needed to be concealed; such a direct, lethal Divine Skill couldn’t possibly be hidden.

And Jiang Wang had already told her that during the opening of two Inner Mansions, he had obtained two Divine Power Seeds.

So, besides Samadhi True Fire and Buzhou Wind, he should have another hidden Divine Skill yet to reveal.

Which means, even after displaying such Divine Might and defeating Ji Shaoqing, who possessed the Heavenly Gate Power…

he still hadn’t used his full strength!

To open three Inner Mansions, to pick three Divine Power Seeds, to oppress the entire Diao Hai Building to the point where no cultivator of the Inner Mansion Realm dared to challenge him…

and yet he still had hidden combat power!

On such a Jiang Wang, who else could she place her bets, if not laying down a heavy stake?

She casually put away the Fangtian Ghost God Halberd and said to Gu Huaixin, “True Man Gu, do you wish to continue accompanying this Palace and serve as a witness to this battle?”

She was quite frustrated about the intervention from Gu Huaixin.

Ji Shaoqing was obviously attempting to flee; have you not seen that Chen Zhitao, who was also a witness, did not interfere to help?

Yet, Gu Huaixin, out of a strong desire to protect his disciple, had intervened as a True Man, stopping Ji Shaoqing and reminding him not to run.

Thus, her words naturally carried a hint of resentment — claiming to uphold justice and maintain the order of the duel, weren’t you?

Then stay with me, and watch your Direct Disciple die with your own eyes!

The Inner Mansion is naturally incomparable to the Dongzhen Realm.

But the Palace Master of Hua Ying Palace from Daqi has the privilege to speak with a True Man.

And by all accounts, as a witness to this duel, she has the right to speak with anyone trying to interfere.

Most importantly…

the covering army glove of Great Qi’s War God Jiang Mengxiong was right there in the high dome, making her untouchable by anyone!

A provoking word had been delivered, so it had been delivered!

Gu Huaixin glanced at Jiang Wuyou and finally decided not to remain silent anymore.

There was a difference in status between Jiang Wuyou and Jiang Wang.

Disrespect towards Jiang Wuyou could directly be considered an offense to the Qi Royal Family.

“Don’t you see that even the first elder of the Diao Hai Building, Chongguang Zhenren, had to provide Jiang Wuyou with a seat at the great sea-worshiping ceremony?”

“This is a matter for you young people, and it is Chen Zhitao and you who are responsible for officiating the duel.

As officiators, you should act as appropriate.

As for those who have agreed to a duel to the death on the platform, they must rely on their own abilities.

It simply comes down to the more skilled living and the less skilled dying; there is nothing more to say.”

He spoke slowly, “I am just an old man with one foot in the coffin, merely a spectator of this farce.”

Typically, a True Man of the Age would live up to one thousand two hundred and ninety-six years.

Since the restart of the present Dao Calendar, only three thousand nine hundred and nineteen years have passed, indicating that lifespans are lengthy.

When Gu Huaixin said he had one foot in the coffin, of course, it was just a figure of speech.

But it couldn’t help conveying a hint of resentment, a glimpse of forlornness—he could not possibly be indifferent to Ji Shaoqing’s predicament.

Jiang Wuyou nodded, “It is truly commendable that True Man Gu understands the greater good so well.”

She didn’t care what Gu Huaixin truly thought, she only needed to hear what he said.

A dignified True Man of the Age would not go back on his word in front of so many people.

She had to ensure that under Jiang Mengxiong’s watch, Gu Huaixin had no chance to interfere with the duel.

The state of Zhongxuan Sheng, who was a spectator at the End of the World Platform, was different.

This day was Jiang Wang’s home field, and he remained silent throughout.

He really wanted to tell Chen Zhitao that although he was born fifteen years early, he hadn’t seen him do anything to Tian Anping.

But firstly, there was no need to provoke Chen Zhitao at this moment.

Secondly, mentioning Tian Anping in front of Jiang Wuyou would be tactless.

Thirdly, there wasn’t anything particularly despicable about Chen Zhitao; even his speaking out at this moment was only for the sake of the sect, and there was no need for enmity.

Letting him have the upper hand in words was fine; as long as Jiang Wang didn’t suffer any substantial loss, that was acceptable.

As for Gu Huaixin, he had plenty to say in retaliation, but after all, the man was a True Man…

He could only keep his eyes half-closed.

Those who didn’t know him might even think he had fallen asleep while standing.

Time is meticulous.

From April 17th of the year 3919 of the Dao Calendar to April 22nd.

A full five days.

Jiang Wang sat on the End of the World Platform for a full five days.

Ji Shaoqing struggled in agony on the End of the World Platform for five days.

Including Jiang Wuyou, Zhongxuan Sheng…

as well as Gu Huaixin, Chen Zhitao, and other spectators, they all stood guard outside the End of the World Platform for five days.

This also included the ancient blade Chen Du and the knuckle-covering Sky Ghosts confronting each other high in the sky.

During these five days, aside from the End of the World Platform, other places on Huai Island seemed to return to normalcy.

People continued their lives, but everyone, from time to time, couldn’t help but cast a glance toward the End of the World Platform.

Everyone was waiting for the final outcome, whether they showed it or not.

For everyone, these were a long five days!

Jiang Wang had previously declared that he would wait until Ji Shaoqing’s light goes out, to wear him to death alive.

He was prepared to endure nine days and nights on the End of the World Platform.

But it seemed Ji Shaoqing could not last till the ninth day.

On the fifth day, his life was already drawing to a close.

Falling from the heavens to the dust, in a place that should have been the center of glory and admiration, he was now trampled underfoot by his adversary.

All his final moments were witnessed by the crowd.

Everyone could imagine Ji Shaoqing’s suffering.

Howling, struggling, weeping…

And then later.

Silent, desolate, awaiting death.

He had nearly become a corpse by the fifth day, showing no signs of life whatsoever.

And so people knew that the final moments had arrived.
