Chapter 133: Innate Sword Artifact Used for Killing
solemnly at the head: “...That’s about it. I’ve already given the order. The two captains, in their investigation, whatever they need from the people of Zhōnghéng County, they will be provided with al...Under a sky of clear blue where clouds drift aimlessly, a stream flows like a path with no destination. It carries those heart-wrenching memories, winding towards the distant horizon beyond our sight.

The white-haired man on the bluestone opened his eyes, his sword hidden for a thousand years finally coming to light. This world was pierced by pain at its very core.
The clouds parted a few layers.
But he just calmly looked ahead, his sword-like eyes piercing the clear stream of water, not a trace of emotion to be found.
"Is anything the matter" he asked.
The surface of the stream rippled slightly, reflecting a woman in a Taoist robe with her hair bound by a jade crown.
Her eyebrows, eyes, and every feature are bathed in starlight. Her face is beautiful and harmonious. At first glance, one sees her elegance; upon closer inspection, one sees the passage of time. The light in her eyes fluctuates like ripples on water, ever-changing.
"Hey, I said," the woman in the Daoist robe's voice was laced with reproach, "Duke of Huai from the Great Chu sent someone to give you a message, you didn't even listen Don't you care about your precious disciple"
"He's going to kill someone, I don't care. If he's going to be killed, why should I care" the white-haired man asked in a soft voice.
The water rippled, and the woman's face reflected in it seemed to be broken and scattered.
“Oh, this...”
This actually makes a lot of sense, it's hard to refute!
"But after all, he is your disciple, and also a true disciple of my Nandou Palace." the woman said.
The white-haired man calmly watched the clear stream of water: "Things are what he needs to do himself, and the path is what he needs to walk himself. Then he should have his own awareness. If he dies like this this time, it's also his choice."
"Your apprentice... his ruthlessness isn't any less than yours was back then. It's just that he has an inner demon that plagues him, a stubborn one at that." The woman in the Daoist robe sighed. "He even came to me specifically before, asking me to help him calculate the fate of that young man named Jiang Wang."
The old man's voice was still calm: "He sure knows how to bring up your scars."
“Isn’t that so” the woman in Daoist robes said with a hint of resentment. “The person Yu Beidou covered was beyond my calculations! You, Lu Shuanghe, the Seventh Killing True Person, are the world's number one killer, while my calculating ability is not even close to yours.”
"I have a plan."
Where shall I go
Lu Shuanghe said faintly, “Take care of yourself, cherish your body, and live for many more years. When Yu Beidou dies, you will be the number one expert in the world.”
“This... how could Yu Beidou, who was fine just now, die Is there something you're not telling me”
“What I mean…” Lu Shuang said, “He’s older than you.”
“The renowned Heavenly Machine Zhenren Ren Qiu Li, after a moment of silence in the Water Mirror, said: “Thank you, you’re still so good at comforting people.”
Of course, they all know the real reason.
There is no trace of Yu Beidou in the mortal world. He had long lost the possibility of achieving the position of a True Monarch. Therefore, his age is relentlessly approaching him with each passing day.
...But for someone like Ren Qiu Li, to become the number one expert in the world's calculations, they would have to wait until another person lived and died. Isn't that a kind of tragedy
It wasn't that she ultimately triumphed over her competitors, but that they had already lost to the times and would inevitably lose to time.
"But then again, Sheng Feng is one of our own from the Nandou Hall. Him seeking me out is a form of trust." Ren Qiu Li said, "You really don't intend to help him"
"Do you know what's the cruellest thing in this world" Lu Shuanghe asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ren Qiu'li said, "… It's your sword."
“My sword isn't enough,” Lu Shuanghe gently raised a finger, pointing at the sky: “It’s that. No matter what choice you make, no matter how hard you try, it remains the same, following its own order. It won’t change for anyone or anything.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He seemed to have completely missed Ren Qiu's implied meaning, and simply stated his answer, continuing: "When choosing people back then, I just watched. I accepted all the results. I hope he can accept them too."
“It’s different now. Now, Yi Shengfeng is your disciple. You’ve raised him for so many years…” Ren Qiu left off there and asked in surprise, “You want to hone his sword Facing the Chu Huiguo Duke's mansion in Nan Yu… it’s very easy to break!”
Lu Shuanghe only said, "A heavenly sword is forged for killing. There's no reason why it can't be broken."
Ren Qiu said, “The Zuo family is a thousand-year-old clan with accumulated might over time. There are countless powerful figures within their ranks. If Chu Huiguo Gong gives an order, countless people will draw their swords. If you don't support him, he has no way out.”
Lü Shuāng He Dao: “I believe that before he drew his sword, he had already thought clearly about what he would face.”
“After all, he is young and impetuous. He may not understand the weight of the Duke's Mansion of Chu Huai, nor may he know about the State of Qi...”

"If a person doesn't know what they're facing before unsheathing their sword," Lu Shuanghe interrupted coldly, "what reason do they have to live"
Ren Qiu-li sighed and said, "If someone under the divine presence makes a move, it's fine. I'm afraid that the Duke of Huai will use his power to oppress others, and spreading this word will damage the reputation of our Nandou Temple."
Such two real people, instead of acting as masters, are more concerned about their disciples.
This is also probably why Yishengfeng went to seek Renqiu's help with divination, but didn't ask his own master.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Lu Shuanghe looked at the water mirror, and said in an unusually calm voice: "If a being above the gods were to take action against him, I would naturally protect my disciple."
As he himself said, before drawing a sword, one must first think clearly about what they are about to face.
Lu Shuanghe had thought this through very clearly.
Ren Qiu-li then understood, this was the bottom line Lu Shuanghe had drawn, and also his response to Da Chu Huai Guo Gong.
She advised, "Why don't we recall Sheng Feng instead Chang Sheng will be back soon. During this time, there's no need for us to confront Chu..."
"Zuo Xiao is Zuo Xiao, Chu State is Chu State. How far can he go for a person from Qi" Lu Shuanghe replied softly.
Once again, he looked up at the sky. A blood-red eagle-shaped monster just flew past, shredding the clouds as it went.
“I’d like to know that too,” he said.
A streak of clear sky in the heavens.

Silent, formless... even the hawk is gone.
At the border of the Three Kingdoms, there is a city called "Bu Xue".
This is the recognized lawless land, a city of chaos.
The laws of any three countries cannot extend this far, and no worldly morals or rules apply here.
There is only one voice, one rule here.
There is only one charge here.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
... Unable to afford the ransom, they could only wait to be killed... "Poor".
Some see it as a scourge of the West, while others see it as a paradise on Earth.
But no matter what people say or think, it stands silently here and will continue to stand for a long time.
Let's not talk about the country of Luo. Now that Zhuang State has risen and Yong State has reformed, the two powers are facing each other. This borderland has become even more stable. Perhaps no one wants to start a war again, and they all need this place as a buffer.
Therefore, the city became increasingly prosperous.
It cannot be said that it is the breeding ground of evil, but it is indeed a cage that harbours criminals.
As long as you pay enough blood money, you can live here and live well. No matter your good or evil, young or old.
Without life gold, there is no life. It's the same for all, regardless of good or evil, age, or youth.
The prison guards leaning against the city gate had already been dozing for a while.
Although this city is full of scoundrels, he doesn't need to worry about anyone causing trouble. The military might of Unredemption City has been proven time and time again in the past...now it's been a long time since there was a need for proving it.
In a hazy state between sleep and wakefulness, a figure approached and stopped before me.
This person was wearing a cloak, coarse clothes, and their face was hidden under the hood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He stood there politely, as if waiting for him to wake up.
This kind of politeness doesn't fit the Unredemption City's air.
The guard glanced at the person and no longer cared whether it was a man or woman, beautiful or ugly, masked or unmasked. She just yawned and asked, "Do you know the rules"
From beneath the cloak came a young voice: "Tell me more."
Here is your translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's tough for young people to make a living in this city.
Because young people often still have temper, while their skills haven't fully developed yet.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But that's none of his business.
Although Zui Wei wasn't very patient, he still explained the rules of the life-gold.
"Well, how much are you willing to pay for your own life" The gatekeeper finished his routine and lazily took out the city permit. He picked up a brush and said, "Friendly reminder, those who value money tend not to live long here."
"Uh." The newcomer paused, then asked, "How much is the minimum"
Zui Wei caught a rather unpleasant aura, and he casually put away his brush and said, "You don't have to pay anything."
>
“Then I won’t.” said the young man under the cloak.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Very natural and smooth.
Around the same time, those gathered near the city gate, whether standing, lying or leaning, all cast vicious looks, each like a hungry wolf!
Those who linger here are those who have almost reached their limit in the city for various reasons. But they came to Unsalvation City because they couldn't survive outside. Leaving now would only lead to a faster death.
They lurk here every day, waiting for potential "fresh meat."
Although those who choose to live in Unredemption City are not to be trifled with, there will always be some clueless youngsters who appear. In this harsh world, give them a taste of "sweetness," just like the one before us.
A clumsy disguise, and the youthful arrogance that comes with it.
After doing something considered quite sensational in some place, he started to consider himself an extraordinary person, believing he could run rampant anywhere.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He needs to be taught.
Of course, perhaps no instruction is needed, only burial.
The people gathered here are like hyenas, but even the city's guardians won't pay them any mind. With such a pack of hyenas around, newcomers often shell out extra to the guards for safe passage into the city.
After all, they have rules and regulations. They can't just act like the thugs in the city and directly rob people.
The guards at the city gate didn't care what kind of fate awaited the newcomers. Seeing that this new arrival refused to pay, they were too lazy to say anything more. They simply said casually, "Then go in, what are you standing there for"
“Uh, I have a question.” The young man under the cloak completely ignored those menacing gazes, just looked at the guard collecting money at the gate, still polite: “I’m looking for someone named Lian Heng, could you tell me which way to go”
The menacing gaze near the city gate vanished in an instant.
Picking lice, sleeping, sunbathing.
>
First, they would seek out the commander of the Sin Guard, Lian Heng. No matter what the reason, it was not something they could afford to offend him.
Only the guards at the city gate showed no change in their demeanor.
Whether he pays or not, whether he finds Lian Heng or Zhang San, it's all just someone who's disrupting his nap.
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go ask someone else."
“Come on, I'm just watching the door. Can't you ask someone else for everything”
The young man in the cloak seemed to have a good temperament, quite unlike other newcomers who came to Unredeemed City with aggression and ferocity. He simply nodded his head and said, "Excuse me."
So he walked into town by himself.
He is a newcomer who hasn't paid any money and has zero credit.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
He walked alone into the worst city in the Three Kingdoms of the West.
No one bothered him, but no one paid him any attention either.
"Hello, may I ask..."
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Men with menacing expressions, each went their separate ways, not even a curious glance was offered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The residents here only worry about how to live and how to live more enjoyably, they don't care about anything else.
Jiang Wang stood in the middle of the street, politely raising his hand for a long time, but he didn't get any response.
in the end, I gave up.
He turned and looked at the people leaning against the city wall.
Among them, there was one person's gaze, previously the most malicious.
Jiang Wang walked straight over and blocked his sunlight.
This man raised his head, one eye blind and the other with a gash above the eyebrow. He had a viciousness in his very bones.
“This is really a cold city,” Jiang Wang said.
The one-eyed man eyed him warily, saying nothing.
"You shouldn't have any golden fate, right" Jiang Wang asked.
This man grinned and said, "How much is the master going to reward me"
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
"Lead the way, or I'll kill you." Jiang Wang said coldly.
It's true that seeking out Lien Heng would be unwise, but being threatened when he comes looking for you is something you can't just back down from.
The man leaning against the city wall understood the survival rules of this city very well.
His muscles suddenly tensed, and a cruel light flashed in his lone eye: "Heh…"
He only heard the clang of the sword, but he didn't catch sight of the sword light.
>
He didn't catch the sword light, but he already felt the coldness of the blade.
The blade pierced his scalp, driving deep into the thick city wall.
He felt a slight chill, as if the blade of a sword had grazed his scalp.

His whole body went numb all at once, and he almost became paralyzed. He felt soft and weak throughout his entire being. The cold sweat on his spine finally began to appear.
Jiang Wang lowered his hood slightly, his voice chillingly cold: "Heh"
"Oh oh oh, destroying the city wall, this is going to cost money!"
The jailer, who had always been lazily slumped by the city gate as if he were half-paralyzed, suddenly appeared beside the two of them and very confidently reached out his hand to Jiang Wang for money.
...
This is a tricky one! I can translate text, but I'm not designed to handle HTML tags. Could you tell me what the text *inside* the `
` tags is Then I can give you an English translation of that part. Let me know!
After losing money, the two people cursed each other under their breath and left the vicinity of the city gate.
Of course, Jiang Wang cursed the greed of Bu Cheng in his heart. What that one-eyed man was thinking, though, was anyone's guess.
The architecture of Unredeemed City wasn't regulated in any way, except for the general rule that buildings weren't very tall. You could find every imaginable bizarre and unusual style here. Everything looked chaotic, yet within that chaos there was a peculiar kind of order.
The one-eyed man led the way with his head down, stopping in front of a stylishly decorated flower house.
“Lien Heng should be in there, but I have no gold with me, so I can't go in.” he said.
Jiang Wang looked up at the plaque of the tall building and casually threw a gold ingot to him: "Thank you for leading the way."
The one-eyed man caught the gold, his eyes a little strange. He clearly hadn't expected this fearsome figure to pay him. But he didn't hesitate, took the gold and turned to leave.
Not to take advantage of a bargain is like being a bastard.
Although he considered himself a scoundrel, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Jiang Wang still looked up at the plaque in his vision. He was unfamiliar with this city and had never been here before, but just looking at the plaque, he felt a faint sense of doubt.
It's really surprising that San Fen Xiang Qi Lou actually opened here...
"Isn't that strange" a person who suddenly appeared beside him looked up at the plaque along with Jiang Wang.
This person wore crimson battle armor, had a single braid, and looked like they hadn't slept well. It made Jiang Wang subconsciously think of Xiang Qian.
However, his voice was full of emotion and desire, unlike Xiang Qian's world-weariness.

"Why would such a famous brothel open in a chaotic place like Unredemption City"
He talked eloquently: “I’ve been researching this issue for a long time. So what’s the real reason I think you’re curious too. Why don’t you spend some money and go see for yourself”
Even with the cloak covering him, Jiang Wang's eyes betrayed a strong suspicion - you have someone in this building, don't you
This man, seeing that business negotiations were failing, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am Lian Heng. I heard you were looking for me"

Jiang Wang looked at him and transmitted, "I'm here to find Zhu Wei. He said he could contact me through you."
Lien Heng's weary and listless expression vanished instantly. He scrutinized Jiang Wang intently, "Would it be convenient for you to remove your cloak"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I'm afraid this might cause you some trouble." Jiang Wang said seriously as well.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Haha, Lian Heng isn't afraid of any trouble!" He laughed arrogantly, then as if he had suddenly heard something, he cut himself off.
"Uh, that. Come with me."
Turning, he walked down the other street.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang just felt inexplicable. But he didn't express his opinion, only quietly followed behind this person.
The other person was wearing the Zìwèi's uniform. This place is in Bùxúchéng again. It seems like no one would dare to impersonate Liánhéng here.
Since I let him come without redeeming the city, let him go to Lian Heng. Then this person in this place must be fine.
He certainly did not trust Lian Heng or the idea of not redeeming the city. He only trusted Zhu Wei.
So just follow along.
Li Heng was walking when suddenly he seemed to remember something. He muttered to himself, "Why am I always the one leading the way At this rate, I'm going to become a greeter!"
Here is the translation of your provided text:>

“Oh” Jiang Wang asked casually, “Have you ever given directions to anyone else”
"It's nobody, you wouldn't know them anyway." Lian Heng looked like he didn't want to talk much, so he just waved his hand dismissively.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Wang remained silent.
The two walked one after the other through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the highest building in this city—a seven-story tall building.
In the center of the gate, a black plaque hung vertically. On the plaque, there was only a white character, "囚".
>
The two colors are distinct, making the character stand out even more.
This character is like shackles and chains, with a strict and restrictive aura.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As the person reached the front of this building, they couldn't help but hold their breath and stare in awe.
“Here we are.” Lian Heng stopped and said, “The person you want to meet is inside.”

There was a maid in the room who gestured to Jiang Wang with an inviting hand.
Everything proceeded very smoothly, without any complicated formalities.
Then Jiang Wang also strode into the room.
A maidservant led the way, walking up the elegantly styled staircase until they reached the fourth floor.
Even with Jiang Wang's current perspective, he felt that the decorations here were extraordinary, not much worse than the Duke of Huai's mansion. And this was not something that could be achieved solely with money.
The maidservant in the prison tower didn't speak at all. She just pointed to a place for Jiang Wang to sit down, then offered him a cup of tea before leaving on her own, without a word of explanation.
When entering, Jiang Wang had already carefully observed the surroundings and planned several escape routes.
The Celestial Warriors were created in a total of three, and are currently at Yun Ding Xian Gong tidying up the ruins - according to Bai Yun Tong Zi, they have an instinct to repair the Celestial Palace. After all, when Yun Ding Xian Gong was first built, the foundational labor was done by Celestial Warriors. Of course, even a clever woman can't make a meal out of nothing. In the absence of any materials, their progress in repairing is hardly worth expecting.
However, for Jiang Wang's current situation, a celestial warrior at the peak level of an outer palace is enough to give him more choices in his fighting style.
At this time, no one paid him any mind, nor was he in a hurry. Of course, he didn't drink tea either. He simply sat there silently, practicing his techniques.
The world of cultivation has countless clues, and one's efforts should not be wasted.
About two hours later, the tea had grown cold, and a beautiful woman in black walked in. Her steps were leisurely, with an aura of someone who had long been in a position of power.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, but a pair of cold phoenix eyes, invisibly, distanced her from the rest of humanity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The moment he saw her, Jiang Wang unexpectedly remembered... Shi Huang Jia Xuan.
In that world where the earth crumbled and collapsed, a figure of breathtaking beauty with wings like painted silk took flight, bringing night with every flap.
Jiang Wang ended his cultivation and hurriedly got up: "I apologize for the intrusion, it was really impolite of me."
The woman in black only glanced at him faintly: "I heard you were looking for Zhu Wei"

"It's...he asked me to meet him here." Jiang Wang said.
What are you and Zhu Wei
"Friend." Jiang Wang replied earnestly, and also asked back in a perfunctory manner: "And you are"
The woman in black said, "This is my city."
Jiang Wang then bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
The lord of Buzhu City, the so-called Sin Lord Huang Jinmo, sat calmly in the main seat and asked in a soft voice, "Why, upon meeting the master of this place, are you still wearing a cloak"
“I apologize.” Jiang Wang first took off his cloak and put it aside as a sign of sincerity, then said, “It’s just that my identity as Jiang Wang is rather sensitive in this area, and I was afraid of causing trouble for Your Excellency.”
Huang Jin Mo merely raised a finger, and the window beside Jiang Wang slid open. The noise from outside and the sunlight poured in together.
Then she slowly said, "Don't worry, no one here knows you."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang: …
“Jiang Mo’s personality is rather cautious, I apologize for any offense this may cause Your Lordship.” Jiang Wang said carefully.
Huang Jin remained silent, merely stating: “This tower has always forbidden outsiders from entering, yet recently there have been several exceptions.”
“I am humbled.”
Huang Jin Mo didn't show any mercy as she stated, "You don't need to be afraid. This time, making an exception isn't because of you."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
She spoke in a flat tone: “Zhuang Ting has been wanted for wishing me well, you know that, right Everyone here knows Wishing You Well. It's not safe for you to meet him elsewhere.”
"Jiang Wang pleaded, "On behalf of Zhu Senior Brother, I thank the Great Master for his care."
Huang Jinmo raised an eyebrow, looking at him with dignity: "Who are you to him that you apologize on his behalf"
