Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 273
It really lives up to its name as the "Heavenly Tower"!The assassin, Su Xiuhang, seems to be organized and in groups, rather than acting alone!
"There are difficult things, I just don''t know if you can handle them."
"Feel free to speak!" Ace began to pat his chest, as if the difficulty he faced just now was not a big deal: "We can do anything at the Heavenly Tower!"
"Would you dare to go to the royal palace?" Jiang Wang asked.
In Yang Country, the royal palace without a prefix naturally refers to the court of the Yang Country monarch.
The "Eastern Region''s Number One Assassin" named Ace was shocked: "Do you want to hire an assassin to plot against the monarch?"
Seeing Jiang Wang looking at him as if he were a fool, Ace said awkwardly, "What does the guest want?"
First, if it were a big deal like hiring an assassin to assassinate the monarch, it wouldn''t be so openly proposed.
Second... Does the Heavenly Tower have the ability to assassinate the monarch? Does he not have any idea?
"Help me deliver a letter. Don''t reveal that it''s from me."
"To whom?"
"It''s best to deliver it to the monarch, if not, deliver it to the person closest to the monarch that you can reach."
"What''s written in the letter?"
Jiang Wang looked at him and didn''t speak.
Ace shrank back: "I understand the importance of protecting the guest''s secret."
"Thirty pieces of Dao Yuan Stone to deliver this letter. My only requirement is that no one knows that this letter is related to me."
Jiang Wang directly took out thirty pieces of Dao Yuan Stone and placed them in front of Ace.
"Please rest assured." Ace from the Heavenly Tower counted the Dao Yuan Stones with great satisfaction: "I don''t even know who you are."
"..."
It''s just delivering a letter, even if it''s to be delivered to the royal palace, it''s not too difficult.
Jiang Wang didn''t expect this letter to be delivered directly to the monarch of the Yang Country, but as long as it reached the royal palace, he believed that the monarch of the Yang Country would definitely take notice of this letter.
There should be no small country lord who is qualified to remain indifferent to the White Bone Dao''s Lord''s covert coveting.
The reason for using the Heavenly Tower to convey the reminder is that his current strength is not enough to directly face the White Bone Dao.
...
Jiang Wang arrived at the Heavenly Tower on the second afternoon after entering Cangfeng City. He left the Red Tail County that day and rushed back to the base camp in Rizhao County.
The purpose of entering Cangfeng City was to rest temporarily and recover his strength. The second reason was to find a way to remind the Yang Country court.
As for finding the Heavenly Tower, it was just a whim.
He originally wanted to ask about the matter of Hu Shaomeng hiring an assassin to kill him, but seeing that Ace seemed to not recognize him at all, he let it go.
After all, Hu Shaomeng was already dead, and there was no need to delve into it further.
The situation in Qingyang Town was improving, with the number of new plague victims decreasing, and many of the infected in the quarantined area were being cured under the efforts of two medical cultivators. Of course, there were still some deaths.
Through the full investigation by the Yangting side, they had a relatively clear understanding of this plague.
Generally, there are three main ways that the plague spreads: the primary method is through fleas and mosquito bites, and the rats are the culprits. The little creatures carrying the plague are also extremely guilty.
The second is through human-to-human transmission, and the third is through contact.
However, the plague that occurred within the Yang Country was different. The effect of clearing the fleas from the rats was not significant because the plague virus was transmitted through humans from the beginning, and the transmission speed was much faster than the average plague.
(They still didn''t know about the existence of the plague bell.)
Therefore, every infected person was a source of infection.
From a cold perspective, death is also a way to reduce the source of infection for the plague.
In fact, if this plague had not spread to three counties and across the country, there might not have been voices calling for the extermination of Jiacheng...
Returning to Qingyang Town itself, under Jiang Wang''s decisive and powerful actions, the entire Qingyang Town was the most successful in resisting the plague within the Jiacheng City. The number of new infected and dead was far lower than in other towns, and the number of cured was far higher. This was still under the assumption that the other towns did not conceal the situation.
Dugu Xiao and Xiangqian thought that Jiang Wang would relax a bit, but he worked even harder than before.
Apart from necessary official duties, he practiced every day.
Dao techniques and sword techniques were repeated.
After this period of confrontation with the plague, the small team centered around Jiang Wang had been initially tempered, which could be considered one of the few good things.
However, Jiang Wang''s fear could not be shared with anyone!
...
In the Fushan Blessed Land of the Taixu Illusory Realm, Jiang Wang sat cross-legged.
The real problem was actually discovered after chasing and killing the Snake Bone-Faced person.
He killed the Snake Bone-Faced person but overlooked the plague bell when counting the spoils afterwards. From the subsequent results, of course, this was a good thing. The plague bell was extremely dangerous and could very likely be used as a carrier for the White Bone Dao''s Lord to attack from a distance.
But for Jiang Wang, the horror of this matter lay in his "oversight."
How could he overlook the plague bell?
Although he couldn''t be considered meticulous or far-sighted, this plague bell caused him great trouble in battle, and he shouldn''t and couldn''t have overlooked it.
But he still "overlooked" it.
That was very frightening.
It was as if there was another consciousness in his mind, interfering with his thoughts. Or rather, there was something that could interfere with his will.
Because there was this possibility, he couldn''t discuss this matter with anyone.
Even if he was "hiding" in the Taixu Illusory Realm at the moment, he wasn''t sure if he really had a safe and peaceful environment for thinking - but this was his only hope.With neither a master nor powerful kin, Jiang Wang could only rely on the enigmatic and unpredictable Illusory Void for guidance.
He pondered the matter repeatedly within the Illusory Void. To prevent his consciousness from being influenced, this was the only place he could contemplate.
First, he assured himself that he was not being needlessly anxious. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.
Then came a meticulous and prolonged self-examination.
Where could the problem lie? Where might there be a potential issue? What could the problem be?
It was a painful process.
In the end, his suspicions fell upon the Tongtian Palace.
More precisely, on the Nether Candle within it.
After all, it was an artifact of the White Bone Path, and he had never let his guard down around it.
Earlier, during the annihilation of Maple Forest City, the Nether Candle had given him a very strong warning.
He had even suspected whether the Nether Candle possessed its own sentience.
Before the destruction of Maple Forest City, he had felt extremely uneasy and tense. Reflecting on it now, could it have been the "influence" of the Nether Candle?
If it could make him anxious then, it might well make him overlook things now.
Although both influences seemed to have steered him away from danger, with the outcomes indeed being so, Jiang Wang was not willing to have his actions interfered with by some bizarre existence. Even when he was weak and young, he had resisted the so-called "guidance" imposed on him by Miaoyu.
Whatever he did, whatever consequences he faced, he wanted them to be his own choice.
He would own his mistakes!
And he would not have anyone make choices for him.
If, if indeed the problem lay with the Nether Candle,
Then he would have to confront a fact—since the Nether Candle had appeared within him due to the attraction of the White Bone Seed, and had "resided" in his Tongtian Palace for so long, what exactly had it done?
At the very least, from "inducing tension" to "causing him to overlook,"
It seemed to indicate that the influence the Nether Candle could exert was expanding.
