Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1809 Water Dragon's Chant 13

The money, resources, and manpower required to rebuild Sword King City are not something that just anyone can afford. This is the most important reason why people from the martial arts world and the imperial court did not rush to seize territory.

However, the Tang family had high hopes for Jiang Xinxin, and since Jiang Xinxin was not an unknown figure in the martial arts world, they not only provided manpower and resources but also brought a large sum of money and further support.

Now that she had taken on this mess, Jiang Xinxin wouldn't refuse the Tang family's offer of money, manpower, and effort. She quickly gathered the able-bodied men who hadn't left the city and incorporated them into the guard team to maintain basic order and allow the shops in the city to gradually reopen.

As for those innocent people who died or were injured, Jiang Xinxin had to provide some compensation, and money was naturally a must, but she never thought of taking money out of her own pocket. The honest members of the Yu family had all left, but there were still some who wanted to take advantage of the situation and stayed behind. Jiang Xinxin went directly to their door and ordered them to open the Yu family's storeroom and pay for the compensation of the injured and the deceased. The remaining members of the Yu family could not withstand Jiang Xinxin's power and martial arts skills, and could only secretly curse and accept everything.

The Yu family was in a mess, but the name of Master Xuanqing was still a golden brand. Jiang Xinxin did not intend to kill them all. She had just emptied the Yu family's private treasury, so she had to give them and other Jianghu forces some sweetness to keep them at ease. Therefore, she immediately sent a message to Tang Li, asking him to leave the legacy of Master Xuanqing in Sword King City.

Tang Lizhi took away Xuanqing Zhenren's inheritance to alert Yu Qifeng and force her to take risks so that she would expose her true colors. Now that her goal has been achieved, and since she doesn't care about this so-called inheritance, she will naturally agree to Jiang Xinxin's suggestion.

However, he would not easily return the inheritance of Xuanqing Zhenren to Sword King City. He made a condition to Jiang Xinxin, wanting her to cooperate with him to find the mastermind behind the manipulation of Liu Yan.

Jiang Xinxin readily agreed. Recently, two forces that did not belong to the righteous path, the Paradise Pavilion and the Romantic Inn, had emerged in the martial arts world. It was confirmed that the Paradise Pavilion was created by Liu Yan and was currently being dismantled by the imperial court, so the only one worth suspecting was the Romantic Inn.

Moreover, even though Jiang Xinxin left Sword King City after obtaining Liu Yan's confession and witnessing his suicide, the people of Sword King City were not all dead yet. The martial arts world was now full of rumors that Tang Lizhi, the recognized number one in the world, was connected with Yi Que Yin Yang. Therefore, Tang Lizhi was not only being watched by the entire martial arts world, but also by the imperial court and the people.

Jiang Xinxin understood that Tang Lizhi was probably hindered by the sudden rumors, which was why he used the excuse of Xuanqing Zhenren's inheritance to hope to get Jiang Xinxin's help.

The antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ghost that Jiang Xinxin brought was not something that could be made casually. She presented a plan for rebuilding Sword King City, clarified the relationships between the various factions, and after everyone gathered together to discuss the matter, she left a few members of the Tang family behind and went out to meet up with Tang Lizhi.

However, Tang Lizhi looks extremely haggard now, with little flesh on her face and sunken cheeks, so her spirits are naturally not good.

When A-Shui met Jiang Xinxin, she felt mostly wistful. Her memory had not yet returned, but Tang Lici had already told her everything about Fang Zhou and Liu Yan. So, when she met Jiang Xinxin again, who had cleared Tang Lici's name, she felt as if a lifetime had passed.

After Jiang Xinxin and Tang Lizhi exchanged a few pleasantries, the girl knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for helping me find out the truth about my brother Fang Zhou's murder. Thank you also for giving Senior Brother Liu a good ending."

Jiang Xinxin used her wrist to cast a spell and helped the person up. She said politely, "This is what I should do. After all, Fang Zhou and Liu Yan are both citizens of my Dayong. Even though Liu Yan has committed serious crimes, he was framed and used by others, so I should give him justice."

As the young lady went to prepare tea and refreshments, Tang Lizhi began to get down to business: "The reason I invited Your Highness here this time is to ask you to come with me to Biluo Palace."

Jiang Xinxin found it strange, "Logically speaking, you were investigating the transportation route of that evil object with Puzhu before, so why did you suddenly turn to Biluo Palace?"

"That Biluo Palace is no ordinary place. It is the place where the Wanyu clan fled to the Western Wilderness during the time of the late emperor. You, Tang Licheng, do not need to know the background of the Wanyu clan from me, do you?"

The Wanyu clan had served as the Imperial Preceptor since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, without any mistakes for over a hundred years. However, during the reign of the late emperor, a yin-yang divination suddenly emerged. He wanted to take the throne, and the first thing he wanted to eliminate was the Wanyu clan, which had been entrenched in the position of Imperial Preceptor for over a hundred years.

The Wanyu clan was adept at turning misfortune into good fortune. After being repeatedly disappointed by the late emperor, they simply moved the entire clan and established the Biluo Palace in the western wilderness.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxin wondered why Tang Lizhi would choose to visit Biluo Palace instead of checking the perfectly good brothel.

Tang Lizhi explained, "Since Your Highness already knows that someone is using Ayan behind the scenes, and that the Nine Hearts Pill of the Ape Demon is closely related to the Yin-Yang Scripture, then let's go directly to the Biluo Palace to inquire about clues about the Yin-Yang Scripture. Perhaps we can quickly find the owner of the brothel, who is also the culprit who is manipulating Ayan behind the scenes!"

Jiang Xinxin understood. "That's a good idea. Biluo Palace is indeed the place that understands Yi Que Yin Yang the most now, after all, they fought each other quite a lot back then."

The young lady brought over tea and snacks, then couldn't help but ask Jiang Xinxin, "Your Highness, could you please take Tang's pulse? He's recently suffered several misfortunes, and his heart meridian is damaged, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Xinxin looked up at Tang Lizhi with a hint of curiosity and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Li casually withdrew her hand from beside the teacup, and smiled as she made an excuse for herself: "I feel fine now. The important matter is more important. Let's head to Biluo Palace as soon as possible, otherwise, if the news leaks out, we'll probably have no peace on the way."

Jiang Xinxin didn't force her, and that girl couldn't say anything either. After all, the things Tang Licheng was going to Biluo Palace to find out were related to the murderer who killed her older brother Fang Zhou. But she couldn't let Tang Licheng stop, let alone let her give up.

The Western Wilderness is either endless, boundless yellow sand or deep, bottomless, and snowy land. The climate is extremely harsh, and few people settle here. But the Biluo Palace is built right there in the snowy land at the end of the yellow sand.

Tang Lizhi had been to Biluo Palace before and had a Biluo Pearl that could keep out the cold. He was determined to go in himself, and Jiang Xinxin was also going in. However, he was even more worried about leaving that girl outside, since there were many people chasing him and that girl did not have the strength to protect herself.
