Chapter 343: The Prince's Test and the Reward of the Champion Marquis (7.2k in total, please subscribe)

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"The Marquis of Longcheng received the order."

The drake-like voice of the eunuch delivering the imperial edict echoed over the sky of Zhenhai City.

Everyone could hear it, including the onlookers.

The people were pulling each other and were kneeling down together.

Yunyouzi couldn't help but ask:

"My Lord, is this ceremony still going on?"

After Chu Wujiang finished reading the sacrificial text, he was about to offer tribute and worship the gods.

The ceremony was only halfway through.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but frown:
[This envoy came at a very inopportune time.]

【No, they came at the right time. 】

[The envoy chose this time, probably to test my loyalty.]

Chu Wujiang's face was solemn, and he said loudly:
"The sage once said: Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers. The Emperor is third, with Heaven and Earth still in the front."

"We are worshipping the gods for the court and the people, and we cannot give up halfway."

"Continue with the ritual."

Now Chu Wujiang has found an excuse. This is a worship of the gods. Even if you come with an imperial edict, I can't entertain you now!

If there is any responsibility, Lord Longcheng will shoulder it for you.

Yunyouzi and Master Kuhai breathed a sigh of relief and shouted:
"I'll obey!"

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

The disciples of Taiyi Temple had already prepared musical instruments and played solemn music to mourn the victims.

Not only that, there are also special priestesses who dance in front of everyone, which is a dance to beg for spirits.

The witch's dance was graceful and elegant, and she offered sincere prayers, which seemed particularly sad when combined with the music of Taiyi Temple.

The people who were originally kneeling stood up one after another. They missed their dead relatives and couldn't help but shed tears on the beach.

The crowd's disregard for the imperial edict made the eunuch who delivered the edict furious:
"The imperial edict has arrived. Why doesn't Longcheng Hou come and receive it?"

"Don't you dare to neglect the prince?"

"Why don't you come over and receive my order?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Yusheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately scolded:

"Shut up!"

"This is a ceremony to worship the gods. Do you want me to be punished by the gods?"

"Kneel down and apologize."

The eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch was startled. He flattered the horse but ended up hitting its leg. He knelt down quickly and said:

"I don't know how to advance or retreat, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When Prince Yusheng saw the eunuch begging for mercy, he waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, you back off."

"Wait for the imperial edict, and let Eunuch Liu read it."

The eunuch who delivered the decree was grateful and kowtowed quickly, saying:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Prince Yusheng treated his subordinates well. Compared with some of the children of powerful officials who were cruel and murderous, he had never killed any of his servants out of personal emotion.

"Go down."

After reprimanding the eunuch, Prince Yusheng immediately shouted:

"Marquis of Longcheng, I am here to worship the gods!"

"The worship ceremony continues!"

Prince Yusheng's humble attitude restored everyone's impression of him.

The people said one after another:
"It turns out that the prince has such reasonable people."

"Which prince is this?"

Because of Emperor Guangzhu's reputation as a playboy and some rumors, the people of Longzhou did not have a good impression of the Donghai Palace.

When Chu Wujiang saw Prince Yusheng take a step back, he used a secret technique to transmit his voice:
【Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. 】

Prince Yusheng said in a deep voice:
[It was Xiao Wang who was ignorant of etiquette and did not inform us in advance. ]

The two sides were far apart, each showing a meaningful smile.

One came early on purpose, and the other deliberately neglected the envoy.

As soon as they met, the two started fighting and testing each other.

While watching the witch dancing, Chu Wujiang recalled information about Prince Yusheng.

[Prince Yusheng, ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, originally eighth. Recently, Fengyu Tower asked me to be ranked first, causing his ranking to drop by one place.]

[According to the data, he has the talent of a hidden dragon, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and he often does not play by the rules. ]

[This trip to Longzhou seemed to be the first time he left Tianjing in his life. ]

[I wonder what the difference is between this Hidden Dragon and the Dragon Hiding? ]

In addition to having fun with the ladies these days, Chu Wujiang naturally also made a lot of preparations.

But he didn't expect that in order to investigate him, the prince sent the ninth genius on the Hidden Dragon List and the prince's die-hard party members.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously a little worried about the rise of the Chu family.

But Chu Wujiang is not afraid, because he has the combat power of the Yuanshen level and can suppress the land veins of Longzhou.

This kind of combat power will not be dealt with unless it is treason, just like what happened to Taoist Master Tianyun.

Other Yuanshen Zhenren have privileges, and Chu Wujiang, who has demonstrated similar abilities, naturally has privileges as well.

The world is vast and there is no one to restrict us.

Chu Wujiang left the envoy aside and concentrated on the sacrificial ceremony.

Prince Yusheng fell into deep thought.

[I wanted to talk to Chu Wujiang and investigate further, but the ground shook just now, which was obviously related to him.]

[He wants to hold a ceremony to worship the gods and suppress the earth veins. This may be a rare opportunity.]

Prince Yusheng is known as the Hidden Dragon. He is in charge of the intelligence agency for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, he has more than one talent. He also has the eyes that are most suitable for detecting intelligence - the Eye of Investigation.

Doctor Hua, who was accompanying the team, seemed to see what the prince was thinking and tried to stop him:
[Your Majesty, you cannot do that.]

[The Marquis of Longcheng has a destiny of ten great things. I don’t know how many people have tried to peek into his destiny and suffered great losses! ]

[Your eyesight has deteriorated significantly. You can no longer be reckless.]

This imperial physician specializes in treating the blind. He is an expert in medicine and comes from a medical organization called "Xinglin". He is one of the top three miracle doctors in Tianjing.

His dream is to cure the special disease caused by fate.

Anyone who has the eye to see destiny, the eye to investigate things, and the eye to see the truth has a greater than 30% chance of eventually becoming blind. It can be said that this talent given by God has led to tragedy.

He wanted to solve this disease and prove that man can conquer nature and success depends on human efforts.

He peeked into fate, suffered backlash, and lost his light, but he had to change it.

However, Prince Yusheng’s eyesight was constantly deteriorating, which made Imperial Physician Hua very worried.

Prince Yusheng said in a deep voice:
[This king knows this, but the opportunity is rare. ]

[The eye of the examiner will not look directly at the fate, and this king has also prepared a life-saving Pixiu. ] (Note: Chapter 293)
[If your eyesight is impaired, you can also observe more. ]

Doctor Hua fell silent.

There is no time for fighters to take action, making it easier to detect intelligence.

Since the prince has made up his mind, he can only try his best to treat the patient.

[Please be careful, my lord. This punishment from heaven cannot be cured by human power.]

【Don't worry, I know what's going on. 】

Prince Yusheng took a deep breath. He first activated his [Hidden Dragon] talent to make his breath close to nothingness, and then activated [Eye of Investigation].

The Confucian eye of investigating things can see the connection between the other party and all things, and thus judge the other party's realm and strength.

When he opened his eyes to investigate things, that vast and majestic figure pressed directly on his soul.

Prince Yusheng forgot to breathe in an instant.

The Chu Wujiang in his eyes was not Chu Wujiang, but a monster connected to the mountains, rivers, and land of Longzhou.

Chu Wujiang's vitality is incredibly huge, and his vitality soars into the sky.

Seeing him is like seeing the sea, seeing the mountains, seeing the heaven and earth.

The realm of primordial spirit is the dividing line between humans and immortals. The difference is not in lifespan or magic power, but in the connection with all things.

in other words--

[He has achieved a breakthrough in his soul? ]

[Sixteen-year-old Yuanshen, are you kidding? ]

Prince Yusheng even forgot to be surprised. He felt a strong pain in his eyes and blood came out of his eyes.

[Your Majesty! ]

Doctor Hua was shocked, and he quickly used golden needles to seal the vital points to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Prince Yusheng took a deep breath and said:
【Thank you, sir.】

Doctor Hua quickly advised:
[Your Majesty, what did you see? Please stop now.]

Prince Yusheng was a stubborn man. He shook his head and said:

[Don't worry, sir. I didn't spy on Longcheng Hou directly.]

[I just checked the vitality around him, no, I didn't expect it to be his spirit. ]

Doctor Hua was stunned and almost couldn't hold the needle in his hand.

[My Lord, is this true? ]

The former champion Hou achieved enlightenment at the age of nineteen, which is already a legend.

Six hundred years have passed, and no one has replicated such a great feat, so much so that some people doubt the authenticity of the matter.

And now, in front of the two of them, there was a living example, a real monster.

A real scare.

If a person wins the Fields Medal in his twenties, he can be called a genius.

If it was ten years old, it would be completely frightening and make people doubt whether it was real.

Prince Yusheng gritted his teeth and said:
[I don’t want to believe it’s true.]

[Sir, please stimulate my eyes. ]

He has severe myopia, which is caused by excessive use of his eyes.

Doctor Hua sighed and could only use the golden needles again to stimulate his vital points.

After the golden needle was inserted, Prince Yusheng felt that his eyesight had recovered a lot.

He looked at Chu Wujiang's vitality again, checking his connection with all things, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:

【I was mistaken.】

[The connection between these vital energies does not come from divine thoughts, but is a special frequency that can only be achieved under special circumstances.]

[He is not in the Yuanshen realm, he is still in the Yuanling realm, a little worse than this king! ]

Prince Yusheng felt greatly comforted.

Doctor Hua couldn't help but ask:
[My Lord, isn't this even more terrifying? ]

[How can this Yuanling Realm mobilize the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth? ]

[Even if he has the relevant secret method, it will damage the origin. ]

[How is it possible that the Marquis of Longcheng sacrificed himself to mourn the dead soldiers? ]

Prince Yusheng was stunned when he heard this. What Imperial Doctor Hua said made so much sense.

He couldn't help but say:

【What you said is very true. 】

[The Yuanling Realm shouldn't mobilize the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. 】

Confucianism believes that mountains, rivers, earth, and plants are all made up of primordial energy.

It is said in Zheng Meng: "Everything that can be described is existence; everything that exists is image; everything that is image is qi."

However, these vital energies have already been differentiated and are too complicated to be absorbed and utilized.

For example, the negative energy, resentment, and curses of the earth veins are also part of the vital energy and possess powerful power.

If you try to borrow these energies, you will be bringing disaster upon yourself, which is tantamount to suicide.

Doctor Hua is a master of medicine. As the saying goes, medicine and martial arts are inseparable. He is also a master of martial arts. He analyzed for his own prince:
[Your Majesty, there are only two possibilities for this Marquis of Longcheng to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth.]

[First, he is a powerful Yuanshen with a pure body, which can purify impurities and filth at any time.]

[Second, he set up a formation to make the vessel bear the cost, in order to mobilize a huge amount of vitality.]

Prince Yusheng pondered and said:
[Sir, your words make sense. I will think about it carefully.]

[Please take out the spiritual gourd, sir.]

Doctor Hua hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Prince Yusheng was firm in his attitude, he handed over a gourd and whispered:
[Your Majesty, this is the spiritual energy collected from Tianyuan Mountain. You must not inhale too much.]

Prince Yusheng took the gourd and smiled:
【Thank you, sir.】

He opened the bottle cap and absorbed the spiritual energy of Tianyuan Mountain.

These auras are addictive and hard to control.

Prince Yusheng was seen with an intoxicated look on his face, using spiritual energy to supply oxygen to his brain and stimulate faster thinking.

Every time he inhaled, it was like an elephant playing in the water, filling the spiritual energy in the gourd into his lungs.

Chu Wujiang's true eye sees the essence of things, while Prince Yusheng's eye of investigating things sees the connection between things.

If the former tries to peek, he is likely to suffer backlash.

If the latter peeks, there won't be any serious consequences, except for decreased vision.

But the amount of information will be less.

So Prince Yusheng frantically used his brain to try to obtain more information.

His brain quickly began to heat up and white smoke came out of his head.

Doctor Hua rushed to grab the gourd, but Prince Yusheng dodged it. He could not help but shout anxiously:

[My Lord, please stop.]

[Don’t absorb too much of this spiritual energy! ]

Prince Yusheng almost sucked the spiritual energy out of the gourd, then smiled and said:

【Sir, Xiao Wang is fine. 】

Doctor Hua couldn't help but get angry and said:
[My Lord, don't even think about me giving you a gourd next time.]

Prince Yusheng's face had a somewhat sickly flush. He was a handsome, thin young man who liked to absorb special spiritual energy, and looked very lovable.

Doctor Hua was furious, but he couldn't bear to blame.

He smiled and said:

[Sir, don't be angry. It's all Xiao Wang's fault.]

The top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List naturally have more than one talent. They are all top figures among the geniuses, and some are even as good as the peerless geniuses.

In addition to [Hidden Dragon] and [Eye of the Observer], Prince Yusheng also has other lucks such as [Absolutely No Obstacles] and [Photographic Memory].

This is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding and talented child of the royal family. Just as Doctor Hua was about to say something, Prince Yusheng hissed and said:

[Sir, please stop. I have a lot of ideas.]

Thoughts emerged one after another in Prince Yusheng's mind. He analyzed the amount and guessed Chu Wujiang's true situation:

[He has magic weapons in his hands, and more than one. Perhaps he is using the magic weapons to set up a formation, so as to create a confusing formation.]

[No, the formation is not like this. ]

[Others may make a mistake, but I have a discerning eye, so I can't be wrong.]

Prince Yusheng is very confident in his eyes.

He has never made a mistake over the years, and even though he is like a fish in water in Yuanji Academy, only Fang Xiaoran can completely suppress him.

He soon came up with a new idea:
[By the way, this should be the Glazed Jade Body! ]

[The twelfth Buddhist disciple on the Tianjiao list, the future pillar of Mahayana Temple, Master Chewu, is not afraid of any evil spirits or filth.]

【Since Longcheng Hou is an anomaly in the world, it is normal for him to have a body of colored glaze jade.】

[If he combined the Heart of Nature and the Words of the Spirit, and the three together, he might be able to do this.]

[But is there really anyone who can possess all these talents at the same time? ]

Prince Yusheng is close to the truth.

Chu Wujiang indeed used these three kinds of luck to work together, so that he could be like Master Dafan and Mr. Zhiping, suppressing the Yin Pool with pure yang energy, just like a real person like Yuanshen.

But after getting closer to the truth, Prince Yusheng began to doubt his own judgment.

Prince Yusheng had also seen the talent of one orange and two purples.

Not to mention Fang Xiaoran, Fairy Feng Yao is even more outrageous.

But is it possible for a person to possess the power of a minor spirit at such a perfect timing?

Some combinations of luck have amazing effects, but they are easily envied by God.

Prince Yusheng was puzzled.

Chu Wujiang had just finished reciting the sacrificial text when he heard Yun Shang's secret voice transmission:

[Master, Prince Yusheng is spying on you.]

[He has a strong ability to hide, no worse than the master. ]

Should we arrest him?

Originally, Prince Yusheng did not look at Chu Wujiang, but looked around to explore the flow of vital energy.

In addition, this son of the Emperor's family possessed the talent of [Hidden Dragon], so Chu Wujiang only felt a pair of eyes wandering around him, but he didn't care.

As a result, when he pretended to glance around, he caught a glimpse of Yun Shang, which made her aware of the presence of dragon energy.

It just so happens that the Soul-Swallowing Beauty Body is most sensitive to dragon energy. Once it awakens to its full potential, it can sense something.

Chu Wujiang laughed softly:
[It's okay, don't worry about him, let him watch enough! ]

When the strength changes, the mentality changes.

As long as Chu Wujiang does not reveal his rebellious talent of [Immortality of the King], exposing his [Pure Yang Immortal Body] will only further strengthen his own influence and make all parties wary.

Appropriate disclosure of intelligence is conducive to gaining benefits.

Originally, Chu Wujiang used this funeral to announce to the world that he had come.

Now he simulates the power of Yuanshen Zhenren by reciting articles and combining [Natural Heart], [Spiritual Words] and [Pure Yang Immortal Body].

Even without relying on Madam Feng Yao's power, Chu Wujiang is enough to compete with the heroes of the world.

If you want to know my strength, I will tell you.

So Chu Wujiang allowed Prince Yusheng to peek until the witch finished her dance, then he shouted loudly:

"Offer tribute to the ocean!"

The wanderer who was in charge of assisting the ceremony, Zen Master Ku Hai, began to recite scriptures.

"The number of the ten-direction celestial masters is as numerous as the sand and dust."

"Transform into the ten directions, and save all the gods and humans."

"Gather your energy and merit, and save the sinful souls together."

"The sinful souls are truly pitiful. I will now preach the wonderful sutra."

……

The sound of Taoism and the sound of Sanskrit rise and fall one after another, interweaving together.

There are many different beliefs in Longzhou, including Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and a lot of inexplicable beliefs like the Queen Mother of Heaven, the Snow Girl, and the Dragon King of the Sea.

If you let the Taoists or Buddhists see this seemingly reasonable ritual, they would spit out blood.

But Chu Wujiang doesn't care about details and just serves whatever is available.

Since the common people believed in Buddhism, he invited monks.

The common people believed in Taoism, so he invited Taoist priests.

In short, this ritual is performed not only to eliminate ghosts, but also to give peace of mind to the people.

Let them believe that the future will be better.

The days of suffering are over.

Chu Wujiang used the [Spiritual Language] and solemnly announced:

"Please accept the tribute, gods and spirits, and bless Longzhou, the soldiers, and the people!"

"Bless Longzhou, bless the soldiers, bless the people!"

Everyone ignored the people in the court and continued to carry out the sacrificial ceremony.

Piles of rafts were pushed into the ocean by soldiers.

These rafts are filled with paper offerings, such as wooden horses, paper objects, paper cows, etc.

The raft is infused with vitality and can travel a certain distance without being washed back to the shore.

Doctor Hua continued to advise:
[My Lord, that's enough.]

[With this information, it is enough to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ]

Prince Yusheng was still not satisfied and shook his head:

[If the Marquis of Longcheng really has a pure yang immortal body, and combined with the words of the spirit, he has a natural heart, then this king must see it clearly. ]

[Your Majesty! ]

Doctor Hua just felt tired, just like Chu Wujiang's doctor in his previous life, who told his patients not to smoke every day, but they still smoked.

Can't stop it, can't stop it at all.

Prince Yusheng said with a smile:

[The little prince has the talent of a hidden dragon, and the Dragon City Marquis cannot discover it. ]

[Besides, if I can see the destiny of Longcheng Hou clearly, I will lose my eyes.]

【worth!】

Come on.

Chu Wujiang seemed to sense Prince Yusheng's will, so he released the suppression of [Dragon's Concealment] and slowly unfolded his own luck and destiny.

He usually suppresses it, both to prevent others from snooping and to protect other people's lives.

Then Chu Wujiang will help him!
At this moment, Chu Wujiang's aura was rising steadily.

Prince Yusheng seemed to see a vast starry sky.

The dark universe and the brilliant galaxy.

That darkness is enough to swallow everything, and that light is enough to cover everything.

Darkness and light are intertwined in Chu Wujiang's body.

Blood immediately flowed from Prince Yusheng's eyes.

It's just that the darkness is too thick and the light is too bright.

He couldn't see clearly, absolutely couldn't see clearly.

The "Tao Te Ching" says: The great image has no form, the great sound has no voice.

Chu Wujiang has accumulated too much luck, which is too strong, and his cultivation is comparable to that of the Yuanshen realm.

Even if there is no counterattack and you are asked to look directly, you still can't see clearly!

This is like putting a person in an environment of a hundred searchlights and asking him to count how many are pointing at him and what brand of searchlights they are.

He could only say he couldn't see clearly!
Prince Yusheng's eyes kept bleeding, but he still refused to give up.

[If I look a little bit more, I will be able to see his destiny and his true self...]

The eunuchs around saw Prince Yusheng's eyes bleeding and were shocked:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"Someone is coming..."

The eunuchs were almost in chaos, but Prince Yusheng shouted:
"Be quiet, don't disturb me!"

"Sir, these eyes are now in your hands."

Doctor Hua no longer wanted to persuade him, he could only sigh.

[Yes, Your Majesty.]

Ever since Chu Wujiang advanced to the Yuanling realm and possessed a pure yang immortal body, he has become more and more adept at controlling his own destiny.

He can let people see whatever he wants if he wants to.

Chu Wujiang gradually lowered the brightness, revealing the true appearance of his luck, and immediately ordered:

"Light the raft!"

"Worship the Lord of Heaven, Buddha, Dragon King, and Queen of Heaven!"

The archers were about to shoot rockets to ignite the raft, but were surprised to see the raft suddenly catch fire.

If Chu Wujiang says there should be a fire, then there must be a fire.

Clusters of flames ignited on the raft, burning it up as if a god was taking everything away.

The onlookers cheered!
【ah! ! ! 】

Prince Yusheng was blinded at this moment, and a precious life-saving puppet was broken on the spot.

Doctor Hua lived up to his reputation as a miracle doctor, and when the prince went blind, he immediately used golden needles to seal the life of his eyes to prevent them from being completely taken away by fate.

Prince Yusheng didn't care that he was temporarily blind, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

[This king has seen clearly that the Marquis of Longcheng does have a pure yang immortal body, the ability to speak spiritual words, and a natural heart! ]

[This is not all his luck. ]

[I need to look more carefully to see everything clearly. ]

For the strong people in the Yuanling realm, blindness is not fatal, and they can solve the vision problem by leaving their bodies.

Just as Prince Yusheng was planning to fight hard, he heard:

[Foolish prince, if you keep reading, you will die. ]

Prince Yusheng was startled when he heard this and asked in a low voice:

【Who are you? 】

The voice sounded a bit like that of a young girl, who said softly:
[I am a disciple of Fengyu Tower, you can call me Huimeng. ]

[The Marquis of Longcheng has a fate of ten disasters. Good times will come after bad times. He doesn't let you spy on him because it's for your own good.]

[Didn't you see that he deliberately released his luck so that you could see the Pure Yang Immortal Body? ]

Prince Yusheng couldn't help but ask:
[Miss Huimeng, you said he deliberately let me see it? ]

How can this be?

The Hidden Dragon, combined with the Eye of Observation and the Life-Substitute Puppet, can allow him to spy on other people's privacy without anyone noticing.

He could accept death, but he couldn't accept being fooled from beginning to end.

Huimeng answered with certainty:
【Of course. 】

[If he releases the Ten Deadly Fates, coupled with the good fortune of turning bad times into good times, he can severely injure you in an instant, and even the Life-Replacing Pixiu will be useless.]

[This is how the King of the East Sea died.]

No matter how confident Prince Yusheng is, he would never think that he is stronger than Prince Donghai.

He bowed slightly and said silently in his heart:
【Thank you Miss Huimeng for saving my life. 】

【Xiao Wang, stop now.】

Huimeng simply answered:
[It's good that you know. I will come to see you again. ]

Chu Wujiang originally wanted to give Prince Yusheng another hard blow, but he didn't expect the other party to stop suddenly.

[It seems he learned his lesson? ]

[That's good too. If we teach this prince a lesson, the chances of His Royal Highness taking extreme measures will be greatly reduced.]

Chu Wujiang saw that the matter was settled, so he walked up to Prince Yusheng surrounded by the crowd and saluted, saying:

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the envoy and His Majesty."

"This kind of memorial ceremony, worshipping the gods, cannot be interrupted. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Prince Yusheng was temporarily blinded, but he could not see anything unusual. Instead, he said politely:

"What's wrong with Longcheng Hou praying for the people of Longzhou?"

"I am here on the orders of the Crown Prince to deliver the Imperial Edict."

"Please ask the Marquis of Longcheng to accept the order."

Chu Wujiang immediately followed the procedure and shouted:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

At this time, the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict held out an imperial edict and solemnly announced:
"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"

"I have heard that the way of heaven is impartial, while the way of man is partial, and he is always on the side of the good."

"Longzhou Commander Chu Wujiang, only sixteen years old, has made great achievements and has achieved great success."

"Today, Longzhou is in trouble, with mermaids rampaging and the sea borders in turmoil. The Marquis of Longcheng led his troops and used his ingenious strategies to defeat 400,000 mermaids and put down the rebellion in the palace."

"The fake general Ye Ming of the merman surrendered, and the leader Hai Yuan, Ye Hui and others were all killed."

"The court is very pleased, commends his loyalty and bravery, and rewards his youth. This edict is specially issued to show the world."

"From now on, Chu Wujiang is appointed as the Marquis of Champion, with a rank equal to that of a Duke. He is also the commander-in-chief of Longzhou, Yuzhou, and Shengzhou, and is in charge of the troops of the three states."

"I will grant you five pieces of top-grade precious weapons, 5 taels of gold, and a fief of 20 households. Your descendants will inherit this fiefdom and enjoy eternal prosperity."

"The Champion Marquis should encourage himself, abide by his duty, and help the country and the people."

"All officials of our dynasty should follow his example and work together to support the country."

"Announce it to the whole world, and let all know it."

"Appreciate this."

Chu Wujiang took the imperial edict and bowed again:
"I accept your order and thank you for your grace."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The people did not understand the content of the edict, they just thought that a good man like Chu Wujiang was being canonized, so they cheered.

The moment Chu Wujiang took over the imperial edict, he discovered that his fortune list had changed significantly.

[New fortunes: Champion Marquis (Silver), Lord of Longzhou (Silver), Mermaid Leader (Purple)]

[Disappearing fate: Leader of Longzhou (orange), Enemy of Mermaids (black), Tribulation of the Pride (black)]

From this moment on, he truly had a bright future.
