Chapter Twenty-Six: What I Owe You, I Must Return to You
Jiang Wang's choice to stay in Qingyang Town wasn't entirely a result of fevered thinking.In the room ahead, he lay sprawled on the bed with a wistful expression, as if he could lie there for eternity..."Haven't you sensed it yet" Yue Tiannu asked from atop the wide city wall, large enough to gallop horses across.
Two nuns from the Xi Yue Monastery walked and talked, their words lost on the common soldiers patrolling the city walls.
The female nun named Jade Truth simply shook her head. Her wide gray robes concealed her graceful form, and the captivating allure that mesmerized all was lost in her serene, water-like eyes.
In order to successfully change their bodies, the two of them lived together for a long time and deliberately cultivated their relationship. Later, Yuetian Nu decided to seek the Tao through her physical body and no longer change bodies, but their friendship continued. If one were to say that within the Xiyue Monastery, besides that ancestor in the painting who truly understood Yu Zhen, it would be Yuetian Nu herself. After all, she had not only been friends with Yu Zhen but also fought side by side with Jiang Wang.
As the former head of Miaoyou Zhai, although his soul was scattered once and he no longer remembers many things. But the old man's insight is still partially retained, seeing through many things clearly. As his cultivation grows, past perceptions also begin to return in fragmented pieces.

While repairing her puppet, she also sought the path to enlightenment. She explored the way of truth while adjusting the parts of her body until one day, she once again realized the true nature of the world. Her puppet body was then infinitely close to the ideal form of a Taoist vessel. Only then did she truly walk the path.
The human body is a marvel of creation. For normal cultivators, once they reach a certain level of cultivation, their physical bodies naturally become perfected. But she wanted to explore each component, meticulously carving every line and pattern to achieve perfection.
To know why something is, one must also know why it is so.
Compared to ordinary practitioners, it is countless times more difficult.
But the path of cultivation is so dangerous, that after making a mistake, being able to turn back is already a rare opportunity.
She was not dissatisfied with anything.
After deciding to completely sever ties with the past, taking the puppet body as his true form and himself as the spiritual vessel, "crossing the sea of suffering by oneself, just like Buddha,"
Only then did she truly see herself, and from that point on, every step she took was firm and sure.
"This is the hardest path to walk, but it's also the truest and purest. "Do you think he'll still be alive" Yue Tiannu asked softly.
Yu Zhen just walked forward: "If I'm alive, I'll find him. If I'm dead, I'll still find him."
At this moment, the blockade outside the city suddenly opened. Duke Huai of Dachu and General Qi, renowned for their prowess on the battlefield, had already vanished into the distance. The roar of war emanating from Shen's voice echoed throughout the entire city.
The entire city of Wuan instantly surged with fervor. Soldiers quickly formed their battle lines, countless cultivators brandishing swords and sabers surged outwards. Ground-based war machines thundered across the land, while flying ships roared through the skies. One by one, heavy ballistas were pushed towards the wasteland. A grand interspecies war had begun abruptly. While Yu Zhen had already turned to leave.
Yue Tiannu sensed her determination, his steps remained slow, even hesitant: "I have never liked anyone, or maybe I have but already forgotten. So I don't quite understand."
She said a little uncertainly: "Why are people so obsessed with another person"
“I don't know.” At this moment, the tranquility of the ancient well had shattered. A feeling of loneliness and melancholy swirled in Yuzhen’s beautiful eyes. Her voice was softer than the wind: “I only have my own feelings. I am not someone else’s answer.”
Yue Tiannu asked, "So how are you feeling"
"I will repay what I owe him, and he will repay what he owes me." Yuzhen leaped from the city wall, his monk's robe billowing in the wind: "This cannot just be settled like this."
Bai Yu-xia, accompanied by the Wuan Marquis's guard, moved from Yanlao City to Wuan City on the day of its completion.
As a loyal follower of Marquis Wuan, operating within the city built to commemorate him, there's always a unique sense of responsibility. But under the current circumstances, with their capabilities, besides training harder, there's really nothing else they can do.
The Qi state's high-level strategy is beyond their influence. They lack the strength to approach the demon clan, so talking about finding the mastermind is useless. Their joint investigation with the Jing state yielded nothing, so what good is it
The world of Heavenly Inferno is a cruel place for the weak. But under Bai Yu Xie's leadership, the 200-strong guard trained their battle formations every day. Their independent investigation into the fall of Wuan Marquis had never ended.
As Baiyu Xias said, there is a degree of strength, exert one's utmost effort. Being in this city, one cannot lose the reputation of "Wu An".
Out of the blue, renowned military strategist Shen Wen suddenly ordered all soldiers in the city to set out for the Tianxi Wasteland and attack the Nan Tian City stronghold of the demon tribe.
This is undoubtedly a major taboo in military affairs.

Even if they had been rehearsing for war every day, this large-scale military decision was still too rash.
But if it is connected to the sudden arrival of Zuo Qi, the Duke of Huai in Chu, considering that both Zuo Xiao and Jiang Mengxiong were personally at the forefront of the charge, then all questions about military affairs should not be questions.
The Duke of Huai has his own strategies, and the God of War has his own considerations.
This is not blind faith, but the continuation of countless glorious past successes. Those who can write military treatises, their actions themselves are examples set forth in the treatises!
From the moment White Jade Imperfection descended, every member of the Marquis Wu An's personal guard stood firm. They were the very first unit in all of Marquis Wu An City to respond to the call to arms.
They immediately rallied under Bai Yu's command and rushed to the city gate. But a powerful wolf cavalry emerged from the side, striking first and killing their way out of the city.
The giant wolf god, over ten feet tall, exuded a terrifying aura. A knight rode on its back, each clad in armor and wielding a solid iron spear. Such fearsome weapons needed no complex techniques. On the battlefield, they were death with every touch, injury with every impact.
At top speed, there wasn't a single sound or discordant note. Hundreds of riders moved as one, like a dragon swirling in the wind.
The illustrious Cangtu Divine Cavalry, the world's foremost cavalry unit, naturally deserves to be at the forefront of the charge.
>
But after dashing out of the city gate, the leading cavalryman suddenly reined in his steed and turned back. Looking at Fang Yuyou's banner stuck behind him, he mused: "Are you my third brother's people"
Fang Yuyou looked at this man whose beauty was beyond description, utterly bewildered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bai Yu's flaw was that she had been to the Guanhe Terrace and witnessed the reunion between this man and Jiang Wang. She knew that this man named Zhao Rucheng had a relationship with Jiang Wang as close as brothers.
This is a sample of HTML content.
Therefore, he spoke: “I am Baiyu Xia, the chief guest of Wuanhou’s mansion,”
This squad is the personal guard of Marquis Wu'an. After we came to Wan Yao Gate, we were supposed to follow Marquis Wu'an onto the battlefield. Due to an unforeseen incident with the marquis, we are staying here waiting.
Zhao Ruzheng had no impression of Bai Yuxia, but he nodded respectfully and turned to the wolf: "Wait until we get on the battlefield, follow me."
At this moment when we are about to face life and death, these words carry more weight than anything else.
Bai Yu Xia arched his hand and said, "As long as the general's sword points, we will never retreat!"
The enormous azure wolf leaped, and Zhao Ruocheng was already beside the foremost riders of the wolf cavalry—Helian Yunyun and Helian Huhu.
"How's it going First time fighting demons, are you nervous" Helian Huhu's tone wasn't calm. Although he was concerned for the two juniors, there was an undeniable excitement in his voice.
This excitement was a long time coming for him.
Da Mu Huangzu, a true immortal of this world, and also one of the commanders of the king's cavalry, how many things in this world could move him
His mission to the Demon Realm this time was simply to ensure the safety of He Lianyunyun and Zhao Rucheng. He didn't care about anything regarding the Demon Realm battle situation or the newly opened battlefield of races.

But to be honest. This sudden outbreak of interracial war was instigated by Duke Huai of Chu and the God of War of Qi joining forces. Being able to participate in such a war, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Two great military strategists join forces to vanquish demons!
What could be more captivating than experiencing the allure of military strategy firsthand by participating in such a war
Helan Yunyun is the daughter of Helanshanhai. Her body carries the Azure Blood, so she naturally wouldn't be nervous in this situation. But she turned to ask, "Ru Cheng, are you nervous"
“Nervous.” This fierce warrior who had slaughtered countless foes on the Jingmu battlefield, earning himself the moniker of the Azure Ghost, was now whispering, “Terrified out of my wits.”
“Jiang Wang is someone who fights fate itself, you needn't worry too much.” With so many people around, Helian Yunyun couldn't act rashly. She merely flicked Zhao Rucheng's wolf-shaped seat with her whip: “When the time is right, I will open the Eye of Heaven and help you find him.”
“Don’t open the Eye of Heaven, it’s too conspicuous.” Zhao Ru immediately refused: “If my third brother is still alive, if the demon clan realizes we are looking for him, he will be in great danger.”
"You're right," Helan Yunyun said. "My concern for you has led to chaos." Zhao Rucheng said, "Your Highness, don't jeopardize the big picture. This trip to the demon realm, your training and safety are paramount. Finding someone is my responsibility."
“I wouldn’t make a mistake!” He Lian Yun said loudly and seriously: “You are my most important matter!”

A whole company of wolf riders rode silently, their iron spears lowered. The wolf warriors bowed their heads and ran forward. Helin Huhu pretended not to hear, his face solemn as he looked towards the distant horizon where red and blue shadows danced with fistwork and spear thrusts, constantly rolling together, rendering a vibrant tapestry against the high sky.
Zuo Xiao and Jiang Mengxiong's move this time was completely with the momentum of killing the opponent's celestial demon!
In just this short amount of time, that piece of sky has already shattered and reformed countless times!
The Heavenly Demon Ape Immortal Court could still hold on, but Zhu Yi was already visibly weak.

Will a celestial demon fall today
At the rear of the wolf cavalry, amidst a surging tide of horses, Fang Yuyou gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on his sword.
With Princess Taimu and the Taoist Master Taimu riding alongside, Zhao Ruocheng rode on horseback. His appearance was the most outstanding he had ever seen in his life. And such a swaggering display of a hundred cavalrymen, commanding with ease, also showed his status and authority.
An absolute big shot!
And Duke Wu'an was actually the third older brother of this bigwig, the lord of the state!
>
He had never heard of his master having such a brother before. Connecting this to his recent experiences, a sense of pride welled up in him. Who doesn't know you!
But he also had a bit of worry, and couldn't help but ask Bai Yexia: "My lord, earlier Ye Zhenren also said that once the war begins, we can follow him. Now Mu Gu Cang Tu Shenqi has also asked us to follow him, who should we follow"
White Jade had already considered this: "The care others have for the Marquis, we cannot refuse on his behalf. I will lead a team to follow General Zhao Ruocheng, and you will lead a team to follow Master Ye."
Fang Yuyou exclaimed, "There are so many mountains to rely on! Fortunately, we have a large number of people, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to share."
Bai Yu's flaw ignored his feelings, and only commanded: "Remember, no matter what Ye Zhenren asks, you must complete it without any discount. Then, like protecting the Marquis, protect Miss Ye Qingyu."
“Received!” Fang Yuyou gently pulled the reins, leading a hundred men away. The two teams of riders thus parted ways.
Bai Yu-xia led her team closely behind the divine cavalry of Cang Tu. The direction Fang Yuan-you was heading towards —
A squad of four-winged Ink Warriors flew through the air, leading the way. Four Bull-Horned Swordsmen Kites, four Eagle-Eyed Heavy Arrows Kites, and four Thin Armored Dual Sword Kites surrounded a magnificent cloud chariot that shimmered with colorful light like stars orbiting the moon.
The young master of Lingxiao Pavilion stood upright in the cloud chariot. His face was partially concealed by a light gauze, his fairy-like appearance as ethereal as flying.

While the mortal Ye Lingxiao soared through the heavens, his entire being enveloped in a raging aura, he charged straight towards the Heavenly Breath Wasteland, crashing into the two characters "Southern Heaven."
The shouts of Yingyong Bo could already be heard from afar, and the An Lei army, one of Qi Ji's nine divisions, surged forward like a flood.
And the whole city of Wu'an was still sending out its armies in a steady stream. A war between races that no one had foreseen erupted suddenly on the Wunan Battlefield.
In this battle, the Human race had a plan with 10,000 Annihilation Thunder Army as the main force, 300 Azure Diagram Divine Riders, and 200 Wu'an Hou's Guard. There were also 40,000 Qi State troops from the Jun county.
Real person, Ye Lingxiao, He Lian Huhu, Wen Ren Shen. True Monarch, Zuo Xiao! Jiang Meng Xiong!
The battle is still hot!
At this time, Jiang Wang was completely unaware that in this hell world, he had triggered a battle of such a grand scale.
He scaled the snow-covered, desolate wasteland alone and climbed back into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Now he carefully made his way through the forest, silently leaping through gaps in the demon clan's vision, dodging one by one demon warriors that he could have easily swept aside.
The demon city standing outside Frostwind Valley blocked his way back. But the demon realm was so vast, and the civilization basin so wide, with such a long boundary between the two races and so many battlefields, he refused to believe there was no place for him to survive.
Life is nothing more than moving forward. Yesterday leads to today, and today leads to tomorrow.
If this road doesn't work, then take that one. Giving up was never an option in his life.

Of course, the current situation is truly dire.

Firstly, his wounds were difficult to heal. Secondly, he couldn't understand the language. Thirdly, his way back was cut off. Lastly, he lacked information. Besides the two simple maps drawn by those little demons earlier, he knew nothing about other parts of the demon territory except for this small area marked on the map.
And exploring the map in a hostile area with one's physical body is, in itself, the most dangerous choice.
He had been in battles, knowing that to pierce the fog of war, it often cost lives.
Numerous small demon squads were driven deeper into the mountains. Jiang Wang calmly observed those demon warriors preparing for war, watching them fell trees to build carts, weave nets from vines, and chop bamboo to make arrows. He saw them gather various poisons to create poison barrels and poison bundles of arrows on the spot. They also set up large formations on the mountainside. Besides gaining a certain understanding of the demon army, his greatest gain was probably that the pronunciation of the various military commands used by these demon warriors was quite consistent, relatively easy to understand, which greatly enriched his vocabulary of demon language.
The demonic clan's formations seemed simpler than those of the human clan, more in tune with the terrain, with a kind of direct, primal feel. Of course, with Jiang Wang's understanding of formations, he couldn't discern much about their deeper meaning.
Before the demon clan's large formation was fully formed, he had already withdrawn far from the range covered by the formation.
At a certain point in time, these demon warriors entering the mountains seemed to have received some order. They hastily ended the formation setup and began to retreat in an organized manner—he didn't dare follow up to observe, but instead walked in the opposite direction into the depths of the mountains.
On a battlefield where real demons reside, he cannot risk it.

His physical and mental state did not allow him to venture into the Tianxi Wilderness once more.
Jiang Wang was on high alert, discreetly hanging behind a small demon squad sent on a mission into the mountains.
Flitting past a tree etched with the mark of a thorny flower, Jiang Wang casually wiped it away, leaving a rough claw print on the bark to disguise it as damage by a vicious beast.

While having these minor demons clear the way, he observed their habits, learned their language, and pondered a solution to escape. Like a lost soul wandering in the mountains, this wasn't a sustainable long-term plan. Constantly walking on the edge of the demon clan's perception was like dancing on a knife's edge. People always have moments of distraction, moments of error. But within the territory of the demon clan, there is no room for mistakes. Intelligence and injury were both urgent issues that needed to be addressed. Where could he find a way out
What to do Roar!
As I was deep in thought, a sudden roar shook the mountains and forests.
A giant black bear burst out from the front, snapping countless trees and scattering the demon bounty hunters before it in panic. The stench of blood filled the air, and by sheer chance, it crashed right in front of Jiang Wang!
This bear was three meters tall and two meters wide. It rolled over like a wall, leaving no room to dodge.
Jiang Wang raised his eyes and glared.
For a moment, the murderous aura dissipated. The black bear instantly retracted its fangs and sat down heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust. Its round eyes stared intently, its massive paws resting innocently on its belly, looking utterly adorable.
But Jiang Wang's mood sank. He had been found!
>tely couldn't accept.He thought for a moment, then said: "I know about the situation on Dingwei Floating Island very well. I came from there myself. Could you help me build a bridge to cross the river...
