Chapter 2481: Chapter 97: Is It Worthy of a Legacy for 1,000 Autumns? (Part 2)

Jiang Wangdao: "The one who killed King Wu, Si Jiao, and captured King Min, Yu Liyang, is Daqi. The one who annihilated the two great armies of Shenwu and Zhenguo, is Daqi. The one who fought all the way from Jianfeng Mountain to Guiyi City, piercing through the Xia Region, is Daqi. Now you want to claim that Jin’an County was conquered by you?"

Huang Su said: "The Xia Army of Xiuning Prefecture surrendered to our Liang Country, of course, it’s our Liang land! Marquis, no matter how glib your tongue is, can you change such facts?"

Jiang Wang was somewhat impatient: "Do you want me to make it clearer?

Why could you restore your country?

Because thirty-four years ago, our Daqi achieved hegemony.

Why could you furtively take Jin’an County?

Because this spring, our Daqi destroyed the Summer Country.

Nothing your Liang Country gained was by your own efforts. Can the act of picking scraps and theft achieve a lasting legacy? You should flip through the history books, and see if there has ever been an empire begged into existence?"

Huang Su could only feel a surge of shame boiling in his heart, yet he had no words to refute!

Shame and anger intertwined, hating himself for being useless, hating his family’s decline, wishing he could die on the spot and not suffer such humiliation. His eyes turned red with indignation, lifting his spear ready to confront.

Suddenly, the sharpest sword cry rang, snapping him to a moment of surprise and three parts clarity.

"Who do I see here, none other than the defeated general, Huang Su!"

Xiang Daoye lifted the carriage curtain, climbing out of the coach, formed his right hand into a sword gesture and swirled it in the air, revealing his dead-fish eyes beneath messy hair, glaring at Huang Su: "How dare you try Longing! If you truly wish to make a fool of yourself today, why not let me accompany you for a few rounds?"

Another figure flashed, the handsome and graceful Bai Yuxia appeared in front of Bai Niu, bowing slightly to Jiang Wang: "Thanks to the marquis’s great favor, Bai Yuxia has no means to repay. Since there’s a scoundrel daring to offend your noble visage, perhaps let Bai Yuxia act on your behalf, so as not to let the marquis lose his dignity."

One was a disciple of the Three Swords Summit of Feijian, the other a renowned descendant of the Bai Family from Yue Country.

Both were outstanding talents of the younger generation.

Standing in front of the ox cart, they resembled two towering mountains.

Huang Su tightly gripped the shaft of his spear, having calmed down, remained silent for the moment.

He had already lost to Xiang Qian once before, hence had nothing to say.

Even this Bai Yuxia was a fully worthy opponent. Back at the Yellow River Gathering, Bai Yuxia lost to Xiang Bei, and he lost to Xie Ai; both fell before reaching the quarterfinals, and today, both are striving on the path to a perfect God Arrives, evenly matched.

Standing there with a spear, isn’t it laughable?

It isn’t that he fears Huang Su or Xiang Qian.

But precisely now, he felt more deeply the chasm between him and Jiang Wang.

He rode in with soldiers, wanting to demand justice from Jiang Wang in the name of righteousness, the last resort available. Seeing that Kang Wenhao was not troubled previously, he thought Jiang Wang was someone who cherishes his reputation, perhaps he could gain something. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Xiuning Prefecture is such an important position, with Liang Country taking Xiuning, there lies a sliver of possibility to move north, not being hopelessly confined to one corner of the Southern Territory during the Summer Country era, open to Summer Country’s trampling. It was not easy to seize this bridgehead during the Qi Xia great war, the shackle on Liang Country’s body had opened a slight gap! To just hand it over without a fight, he feels unwilling!

But now, with Xiang Qian and Bai Yuxia barring his way, he suddenly realizes—today it seems he came seeking death, wanting to fight for Liang Country’s justice with his life, yet may not even be qualified to die under Jiang Wang’s sword.

Back on Guanhe Platform, he still had the qualification to compete on the same stage.

Two years later, this gap can’t be described anymore.

God Arrives, God Arrives, Heavenly Human Separation, how many heroes are blocked before it!

In order to have better assurance after the Outer Building, he approached this realm in the Inner Mansion Realm step by step, not daring to be negligent. Now lifting his head suddenly, that person at the mountain peak is no longer in sight.

But is it to despair, to give up?

The road continues beyond God Arrives, the path to Transcendence has no end.

Xiuning Prefecture can be lost, Liang Country can be destroyed and reborn.

He, Huang Su, was also extraordinary among Liang Country’s youth, was his country’s genius, also fought through the main events of the various countries’ genius gatherings!

Can the future truly be defined?

"The words of Marquis Wu’an today, I will remember. I will keep them in my heart," Huang Su withdrew his spear, reined in his agitated emotions, and said in a calm voice: "Hope to meet again another day!"

Seeing that there was to be no fight, Bai Yuxia quietly retreated back into the ox cart.

Xiang Qian glanced at him: "Are you going to say ’Do not belittle the poor youth’?"

He retracted the sword light from his fingertips, flicked his disheveled hair, and said emotionlessly: "Marquis Wu’an is a year younger than you."

Under Huang Su’s increasingly embarrassed gaze.

Jiang Wang said leisurely: "Should I kill you now, I might finally have a chance to test my skills with Old General Huang Deyi, and not have you Liang people block my way several times in vain..."

Huang Su broke out in cold sweat, becoming alert.

Jiang Wang then continued: "But it seems unnecessary."

"Go," he merely gestured with his hand.

Qi Country has no intention of annexing Liang, at least not now. All they want is the strategically crucial Jin’an County, so there’s no need to do anything to Huang Deyi.

As for Huang Su.

Whether you remember or not.

Whether you resent, or lament the poor youth, it doesn’t matter.

Today, he remains adorned in the very Ruyi Immortal Clothes he was bestowed when titled Son of Qingyang, aside from a plain white jade, wearing no other adornments.

The ox cart he rides is not luxurious, yet the white ox pulling it is quite spiritual.
