This place is now called Woniu’ao, situated right between the two countries, Zheng and Qu. It’s not clear how it got its name, but it indeed covers a vast area and has thrived in chaos for many years with the tacit approval of both Zheng and Qu.

At this moment, the curtain is half-lifted, and Qiao Lin, taking over the driver’s job, sits confidently in the driver’s seat, holding the reins, and says: "Ah. Zheng Country, their Monarch is truly inadequate. Having barely achieved God Arrives at an old age by relying on the national power, his cultivation is unstable. It’s impossible for him to transcend the official way or advance further. He can’t abdicate either; doing so would mean the reversal of his cultivation, which is death. He can only deplete the nation’s fortune to maintain his cultivation and cling to life. The civil and military ministers are working themselves to death, still not enough for his consumption... Now he’s a hundred and seventy years old, and it’s unclear how many more years Zheng Country can sustain him."

Jiang Wang, pondering, asks, "Doesn’t Zheng Country have Gu Shiyi? Doesn’t he intervene?"

When it comes to Gu Shiyi, Qiao Lin speaks with reverence: "Hero Gu has long said he doesn’t deal with state affairs unless there’s a threat of national destruction, otherwise he won’t take action. The Zheng Royal Family is lucky to have Hero Gu; otherwise, with the current monarch, he would have been overthrown long ago."

Gu Shiyi’s renowned reputation as a heroic hero is incredibly widespread, to the point where even someone like Qiao Lin, a Heavenly Cover Soldier, speaks of him with considerable knowledge.

Thinking of heroic heroes, Jiang Wang also recalled Yan Shaofei, the heroic figure from the Wei land. He was also an admirable person. However, since the Yellow River Gathering, nothing has been heard from him, and it’s uncertain where he has gone.

Perhaps one day he will again become renowned throughout the world, or he may never again appear in the public’s ear, neither would be surprising.

The present world is vast, history is boundless.

Countless heroes flash by like a fleeting spark, yet how many can shine like the everlasting sun?

Jiang Wang casually said, "Since the place is a bit disordered, be cautious."

"Rest assured, Marquis," Qiao Lin replied, "I’ve already made arrangements, and the brothers are all very vigilant."

Jiang Wang added, "With the Heavenly Cover Elite Soldiers as escorts, I assume there won’t be many who would dare to cause trouble."

Qiao Lin felt honored and said happily, "Indeed! We are the envoy team of the Great Qi Empire; those petty thieves wouldn’t dare to make trouble. I assure you, your carriage will be guarded impenetrably, and not even a fly will get through. You can cultivate with peace of mind!"

Before the words fell, a sudden voice was heard—

"Xu Zeming of the Tai Xu Sect requests an audience with the Tai Xu Envoy Jiang Wang!"

He called for the Tai Xu Envoy, not the Marquis Wu’an of Qi.

Jiang Wang looked out from the carriage, seeing a young-looking man dressed in a Yin-Yang Daoist Robe, tall and graceful, standing at the front of the convoy.

Compared to Xu Zefu, whom Jiang Wang had met before and obtained the Tai Xu Corner Tower’s token from, this person looks very different, with just one character difference in the name, indicating they are of the same generation of disciples.

Their energy was mighty and unfathomable, greatly reflecting the foundation of the Tai Xu Sect.

Jiang Wang waved his hand, signaling the guards not to be alarmed, and said loudly, "Daoist, do come inside the carriage for a chat."

Without ceremony, Xu Zeming simply stepped in, squeezing into the carriage.

He was evidently more assertive than the calm and composed Xu Zefu.

Sitting across from Jiang Wang in the spacious carriage, he first closed the curtain and blocked the sound, presenting an air of confidential discussion.

Jiang Wang nonchalantly picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and asked, "What is your relation to Daoist Xu Zefu?"

"He’s my senior brother." Xu Zeming didn’t seem keen to discuss Xu Zefu, responding briefly, then added, "From now on, I will be liaising with you regarding matters related to the Taixu Illusion Realm."

Jiang Wang inquired, "Is there something concerning Daoist Xu Zefu?"

Xu Zeming glanced at him, "Actually, who liaises with you makes no difference to you."

"It’s just a concern for an old friend," Jiang Wang smiled.

Xu Zeming continued, "He suffered backlash while creating a Dao Technique and is now recuperating. It will take at least three to five years before he can leave seclusion."

"I see..." Jiang Wang said softly, still smiling casually, "I recall when I communicated with Mr. Zefu initially, there was no mention of ongoing matters. I provided people, materials, and land to build the Tai Xu Corner Tower, thereby gaining ownership, and that was it. May I ask the purpose of your visit today?"

Noticing Jiang Wang’s distant attitude, Xu Zeming earnestly said, "Jiang Wang, please believe I have no ill intentions towards you. The Taixu Illusion Realm is the greatest creation of our time, born for the glorious future of the Human Race. One day, it will surely realize all splendid visions. As a Tai Xu Envoy, you, like us, are a part of this greatness. We should unite with one heart and strive together for the Human Race."

Jiang Wang’s smile was reassuring, "I fully recognize the greatness of the Taixu Illusion Realm... But Mr. Xu, you still haven’t mentioned what brings you to me. I am on a national mission to the grasslands this time, and time might be of the essence."

Xu Zeming then said, "As the Taixu Illusion Realm has developed to this point, every day numerous cultivators join, and its scope almost encompasses the various countries, inevitably bringing about numerous problems. For instance, some who shouldn’t have participated have entered; some have disturbed the Taixu Illusion Realm’s rules through special Divine Skills; others have joined not through the Tai Xu Corner Tower or the Moon Key, but via improper means... These actions affect the Realm’s stability and add unnecessary burdens to our work. In the long run, this influences the health of the Realm’s operations, impacting the future of the Human Race."
