Chapter 163: A Stench That Travels for Three Miles, Renowned

In this turbulent era of chaos and competition, everyone chooses their sides. You choose your ministers, and I choose my lord."His voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear him clearly."...Chapter 163: A Stench That Travels For Three Miles, A Reputation Known Worldwide. When the Mirror World Stage first announced that Jiang Wang was guilty of sorcery...

Most people would naturally be indignant.

Their national prodigy just escaped the stigma of being branded a traitor, and now they are accused of dabbling in demonology... how unfair is that!

The suppression of Qi State's prodigy by Jing State is blatant.

Many people even feel that the suspicion of treason originally placed on Jiang Wang was also promoted by the Jing Guo side, in order to force Jiang Wang, the Yellow River leader, out of Qi Guo.

Why is the whole world blaming him Because my hero is their enemy!

But there were also some "rational" Qi people with rather "calm" views. For example, Er Fengming, a renowned scholar who wrote the essay "On Merits and Demerits" and nearly ruined Jiang Wang's reputation, once publicly declared —

"Although Jing has been powerful for a long time, he never lost sight of the great righteousness of mankind. For millennia, he has eradicated demons and monsters, leaving behind countless meritorious deeds. Chong Xuan Zun is also a national prodigy, second only to Dou Zhao on Guanhetai. Five mansions shone brightly at the same time, illuminating an era. His talent is no less than that of Jiang Qingyang! How can his name in controlling demons be unstained He holds himself upright! This is what it means: even if sand and gravel are mixed together, the river remains clear; even if manure heaps form, the stench spreads for three miles! Throughout history, there has never been a case of an innocent person being punished in the pact to eliminate demons. Are Hell's gates closed Does the Equal Kingdom exist Does the demon clan exist Even after passing through three dung pits, he remains unstained. This is unheard of throughout history!"

It also cited some examples of Jing Guo's history of executing national genius wizards, proving that Jing Guo's stance on handling wizards was always impartial and based on the facts.

Furthermore, in history, there are examples like the magicians of Qin and Mu who were captured and brought to Yujing Mountain for public trial and execution. There was never any mention of Qin or Mu protesting the injustice.

Those are all genuine cases of magic.

Jing Guo's leading role in the extermination of the Demon League has been an ancient tradition that has lasted for many years. They would not, nor did they need to, make an exception for a Jiang Wang who broke the rules.

Even if Jiang Wang were a genius, could anyone be younger than Li Tian, the world's youngest true immortal

I hereby earnestly advise the people of the country not to deceive themselves. Just a prodigy from the Inner Palace realm, it's uncertain whether they will even become a formidable force in the future. What is there for Jing Guo, the strongest nation in the world today, to target

It also said that Jiang Qingyang should not evade or try to protect himself with public opinion, but should face the problem squarely.

For a moment, one might be possessed and still have room for change. A lifetime of stubborn adherence is to cut oneself off from the world.

And it is said that the person from Qi first and foremost prioritized being human. He served his king, loved his country of Qi, but above all, he was a member of the human race. Destroying magic demons shook the very foundation of humanity, a matter of right and wrong. While he appreciated Jiang Wang's achievements for Qi, he would not overlook such a fundamental principle as battling against magic demons.

It's still the same saying: past merits and demerits cannot offset each other.

For a while.

"A fly doesn't bite a flawless egg. Getting mixed up in so many dirty things, could it be that Jiang Wang is actually not innocent"

If he is truly innocent, he wouldn't run away. He should go to Mount Yujing for a public trial so that the whole world can see his innocence. Wouldn't that be better

"To think that just because Qi State nurtured him, he earned a little credit and expects the country to protect him at all times! What kind of wishful thinking is this Even a traitor from the Demon Clan wouldn't be protected like that!"

Such remarks are rampant.

Until Qi sent an official letter condemning Jing and publicly stated its position, and then repeatedly dispatched Ji Zhaonan, Shi Mingcheng, Wen Yanyu, etc. to respond to Jiang Wang's call, the domestic discourse finally subsided temporarily.

You, my friend, have secluded yourself within your garden compound, claiming to be immersed in study and weary of worldly affairs.

Many people feel that he is disappointed with reality.

About Jiang Wang's undercurrent, it has never stopped.

The Jingguo nation had established its prestige for far too long, and in many cases, the pronouncements of the Jingguo nation were laws.

>

In Qi Country, there has always been grumbling. People like Shi Mingcheng and Wen Yanyue, pillars of the nation, shouldn't be running around for someone like Jiang Wang, whose suspicions remain unwashed. A prodigy like Ji Zhao Nan should focus on achieving greatness behind the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, not wasting time on someone like Jiang Wang. After all, the war that began in Xingyueyuan was entirely his responsibility...

Not until this day.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The world-renowned top master of face reading, Yu Beidou, personally went to the holy land of law, Sanxing Palace, to provide evidence.

The San Xing Gong also publicly stated, proving that Yu Beidou's words were true.

The so-called "crime of magic" promoted by Jingguo Mirror's World Stage is fundamentally invalid from beginning to end.

What demonic lair lingers with an aura, what cultivation progress is bizarre, what evil practices were once practiced...

Everything was overturned by the incident of sealing the "Blood Demon Technique of Annihilating Desire."

This is a test sentence. Let's see how this works.

The Yellow River's leading figure, Jiang Wang, not only had no crime of sorcery, but was also a hero who eliminated demons. With his cultivation as an inner palace member, participating in the suppression and sealing of demonic forces was a display of great wisdom and courage, worthy of song and tears!

To know, killing demons is easy, but mastering demon slaying techniques is difficult. The dangers involved are numerous, and even many gods-like cultivators avoid them!

Even Yu Beidou, one of the strongest existences in the world today, often makes mistakes.

Who could say Jiang Wang wasn't brave

With the charges against him cleared, the other issues are no longer a concern.

Jiang Wang broke the record of Ti Fu Elder, fought and killed the demon from Wai Lou, achieving the first inner palace in history, which made the world boil over and everyone looked up to him with pride.

Wang Yiwu shattered the historical limits of the Tongtian realm, even causing the God of War, Jiang Mengxiong, to marvel and declare that "the torch has been passed on."

Jiang Wang is now creating history of the Inner Mansion Realm, aiming for legends like the Heavenly Mansion Elder. The weight of it is far beyond any records of the Transcendent Heaven Realm.

For a time, the entire nation was in an uproar of praise!

All the voices in Qi that had trampled and scorned Jiang Wang suddenly fell silent.

Those who adamantly insisted that Jiang Wang must have a problem, one and all closed their doors and pretended to be dead, as if they had never uttered a word.

Those without names slipped silently into oblivion. But those with names, who once passionately swayed public opinion, were not so easily forgotten.

Renowned scholar, Mr. Feng Ming, had a beautiful villa on the eastern outskirts of town. The lotus pond in his courtyard was unfortunately tainted with ink.

The pool is black with dead fish.

On the bank someone left a note: "Can mud and sand defile clear water Can ink stain it"

While he was in his courtyard at Linzi, someone defecated on the gate during the night.

People passing by would cover their noses and walk away, laughing and saying——

“That’s what they mean by ‘a stench that can be smelled three miles away.’”

The irate residents went to the patrol office to report the incident and demanded that they investigate the neighborhood streets and alleys to find the culprit who had committed this act of throwing feces.

The head arrester of the Inspection Department simply replied, "There are so many wicked people in the world that they crowd together for miles! The Inspection Department is truly powerless to investigate them all."

>

For a time, "the stench of three miles could be smelled, and Er Fuming was notorious," spread throughout Linzi.

When Jiang Wang became famous, he rose to fame at the Guanhe Terrace, which was attracting attention from all over the world.

When his name was mud, it was known throughout the land.

People know it, and people don't know it. But it has been hard to avoid this name recently.

The Sanxing Palace has always adhered to the law and never shown favoritism to any power in the world.

The palaces of Tian and Di rarely venture into the mortal world, except for the disciples of the Xingren Palace who frequently travel throughout the land.

Unlike other school's monks, who either wander the land helping those in need or punish the wicked and reward the virtuous, relying solely on their sense of justice.

Regardless of where a disciple of the Xingren Palace goes, they respect local laws when it comes to punishment.

Local laws differ. For example, theft is punished tenfold according to the Qi law and by amputation of a finger according to the Qin law.

For acts such as adultery, according to the Chu law, the sentence is five years or more in prison. According to the Mu law, it is "castration by horsetail," which means binding the genitals with a horsetail and dragging them off alive.

Once upon a time, a Wu surname merchant from another region saw a woman he found attractive on the grassland. As a result, he was sent to be executed the next day...

This case is recorded in the Muiguo Penal Records, which states: "...the implement was very small and could not be used on a horse's tail. The executioner found it unbearable and threw the knife away."

It is said that this Wu surname businessman spent a lot of silver trying to return to his home country for trial, but was unsuccessful. This case is widely circulated and is also a clear example of the different legal systems of various countries.

All the legal codes of the various countries in the world originated from the *Fa Jing* scriptures. However, due to differences in time, place, and the ideas of different Legalist monks, there emerged numerous variations.

Legalists were adept at all the legal codes of the world, and their behavior always conformed to the law. When dealing with evil deeds, they primarily relied on local government officials. They were incredibly popular in many countries, perhaps even the most popular type of visiting scholar. They were often seen as a powerful supplement to local civil servants.

For those extremely powerful and formally dignified countries, it was precisely the disciples of Legalism who were the most unwelcome as foreign students.

Of course, these countries attract foreign talent, but they often spare no effort.

At the end of the day, what they want is "submission to oneself," and rules come second.

The Three Kingdoms Palace respects the laws of different places in different ways. If they find a law unreasonable, they choose to send talented people to serve in the government and subtly amend the law from within. They would never directly intervene in other countries' affairs with force.

Therefore, his reputation was excellent.

But beyond the realms of nations, there are aspects concerning the entirety of humankind. Such as the demon race, the magic race, and the sea race...The Three Punishments Palace then adheres to the "Laws Sutra".

The incident of Jiang Wang's crossing into the Demon Realm, just happens to be something that the San Xing Palace can focus on while circumventing the laws of Jing Guo.

Compared with the Mirror World Platform, in terms of credibility and trustworthiness, Sanxing Palace is far superior.

So once the Sanxinggong side makes a statement, public opinion on Jingguojing World Stage immediately collapses.

In this situation, Jing Guo remained silent, but the world was not without sound.

The residence of the Marquis of Huai in Chu.

A middle-aged beauty with hair styled in a bun held up by a single hairpin, walks slowly through the garden.

Though his clothes were extremely plain, his bearing was naturally elegant and dignified.

At that time, the fragrance of flowers surged through the garden, and a lone tree cast its shadow against the setting sun. A handsome young man in a water-blue robe sat alone in the pavilion, performing his art.

A stone bench, a lone person.

Water flows around them, ripples hiding pavilions and towers. One sees the water pavilion and dragon palace, appearing and disappearing, making their beauty even more striking.

"Little Guang, ..." the woman began.

His voice was extremely gentle, as if it could smooth away all the wrinkles in the world.

Left Guang opened his eyes and looked across the stream at the woman. "Mother, what's wrong"

Her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure at being disturbed.

It's not that the mother and son don't get along, it's just that he is devoted to his cultivation and only seeks progress. His mother comes to persuade him at least five times a month to rest more and play more. She always finds excuses to disrupt his practice, today's apricot orchard fruit, tomorrow's fertile field flowers.

At this age, after he had said it nicely several times to no avail, he couldn't help but become a little impatient.

A middle-aged woman, named Xiong Jingyu, walked into the garden. She was a member of the Chu imperial family, and the younger sister of the current Chu Emperor. Her bloodline was noble. When she had married into the Huai Kingdom Public Mansion, it was a match that everyone in Chu envied.

Later, when Zuo Guang's father died in battle, Emperor Chu felt sorry for his sister and persuaded her to remarry, listing several wealthy families for her to choose from. However, she refused firmly, saying only, "Once the river is crossed, one can no longer follow its flow."

She single-handedly raised her two sons, personally teaching them to "succeed the heroes," and indeed she did.

The eldest son was very capable, restoring the Left clan's prestige and overpowering the younger generation of Chu State until the Battle of Hegu, where the prodigy fell...

This strong and gentle woman walks very lightly, a habit she has cultivated over the years for fear of disturbing her child's cultivation.

Seeing Zuo Guangshu's impatient appearance, she didn't mind it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She gently shook the jade slip in her hand and smiled softly, "I just received some interesting news. It seems you don't want to know"

After all, she is her own mother. One shouldn't speak harshly to her.

Although Zuo Guangshu was uninterested in the "interesting news" she uttered and had long grown tired of those "Lantern Festivals" and "Flower Festivals", he couldn't say it plainly.

"I can only lower my eyes and explain in a good voice, 'Mother, I need to cultivate.'"

>

“Oh, I see,” Xiong Jingyu sighed. “It makes sense. How could a talented young man like you, a noble son of the Chu state, care about news from a mere Qi citizen Did your mother bother you”

Left Guangshu raised his eyes.

But she had already put the jade talisman behind her back and was walking out of the garden with her hands behind her.

"I mumbled to myself, “I wonder if that person you mentioned last time, the one who’s going to accompany you to the Shan Hai Realm and stay at your place for a while… could it be this Jiang Wang”

"Mother..." Zuo Guangshu called out softly.

Bear Jingyu tilted her head and turned back, a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Who's calling me"

Zuo Guangshu waved his hand, sending the water swirling around him away. He said meekly, "It's Xiao Guangshu!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xiong Jingyu turned her whole body around, still with her hands behind her back, and put on an exaggeratedly worried expression: "Mother, did I disturb you while you were cultivating"

"No way!" Zuo Guangshu immediately denied it.

"Really not"

"Indeed not!"

"Oh. Then I'm relieved." Xiong Jingyu lightly patted her chest, making a long sigh of relief: "I would feel embarrassed if I delayed the young master's cultivation."

Left Guangxu hung his head in shame and stammered, "Mother…"

"Oh my." Xiong Jingyu chuckled softly. "Little Guang now knows how to be shy, huh"

“That… Mother.” Left Guangshu knew he couldn’t keep up with her chatter. If they kept going, she could talk until tomorrow morning. He turned his head to look behind her, pointed with his finger, and asked politely, “What message do you have for me”

Xiong Jingyu didn't continue to tease him, she just pushed the jade sign in her hand forward: "Here."

Here is the translated text:

Zu Guangshu took a step outside the pavilion and immediately took the jade slip containing this recorded intelligence into his hand. As he poured his spirit into it, he had already grasped all the information within.

Looking at her own mother, her eyes became bright: "Is it true"

>

Xiong Jingyu smiled and said, "Could the news from Zhang Huatai be false"

Zuo Guangshu smiled proudly: “He’s not bad. He's worthy of being someone who can fight me.”

Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu became good friends in the Taixu Fantasy Realm. Xiong Jingyu naturally knew about this, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over with this news.

“Alright then.” Xiong Jingyu smiled at her son, then turned to leave: “Mother won’t disturb your cultivation. Wouldn't want to bother you.”

"Mother, don't say that." Zu Guangshu said sweetly from behind, "I'm not bothered at all!"

Xiong Jingyu didn't look back, only waving her hand: "I've left some Fenghuo tea in your room to keep you cool. Remember to drink it when you get back."

That back gradually disappeared.

This is a familiar sight.

When Mother had gone far away, the place felt empty. Left Guangxu suddenly clenched his fist and bounced on the spot.

“Hey!”

The first inner treasury in history! Truly remarkable!

Jingyu, the bear who had already walked out of the garden, couldn't help but laugh again.

Since... , Xiaoguang has rarely been this happy.Jing, and Mu—that have their own "number one" contenders. Even among some regional powerhouses, there are those who claim to be the best in the land.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to...
