Chapter Forty-Five: A Lone's Will

slate!Meanwhile, in Qinghe County, due to the strong influence of Magistrate Ji Xuan, most cities within the county had a degree of autonomy in their Criminal Investigation Department, allowing them t...Ying Wu, who is 43 this year, has been the crown prince for ten years.

This position wasn't given to him by anyone.

By the time he was twenty, it was common knowledge that no one was better suited for the position.

By the time he reached thirty-three, all eyes in the nation were on him.

He naturally took over the East Palace, as if spring had replaced winter.

He spent thirty-three years becoming the crown prince and ten years harmonizing with various factions.

Now his position is unassailable, he can wait for things to naturally unfold, waiting for the current Qin Emperor to pave the way for him, waiting for supreme accomplishments.

But he would not have it so.

He was inviting Jiang Wang, Ji Zhao Nan, Gan Chang An, and also that ambitious Crown Prince Qin.

He does not wait for achievements.

Defeating the Chu in the River Valley and subjugating the Xiongnu at the Great Wall were the achievements of the Qin Emperor.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

And he, Ying Wu, sought to establish the achievements of the Crown Prince of Qin.

Therefore, during this time when the two sides were at a stalemate and the Great Wall was closed, he ventured out alone, braving perilous terrain.

He claimed time and again that his father was no different from him, but his actions proved otherwise. In every way, he surpassed his father!

The prince of Qin today surpasses the princes of Qin in the past. The emperor of Qin who will come in the future will surpass the emperor of Qin today.

There was a long silence in the cave.

This is not an easy decision.

This is true for everyone.

Yingwu's ambitions were completely undisguised; what he intended to do would be incredibly dangerous.

Jiang Wang was still pondering, Gan Chang'an found it inconvenient to speak, so Ji Zhao Nan spoke first.

This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.

“What achievements” he asked. “Haven't we accomplished something by hunting down evil Asuras in Yuquan We've already severed four of their heads. Countless Ritu and Zhan Asuras have fallen. In a battle of tens of thousands, our haul surpasses them all. I daresay no one in the world can say that we’re just sitting idle, waiting for achievements to come to us.”

Ying Wusheng had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dashing young man.

The flames cast his silhouette against the cave wall, covering half of it. There was a feeling of unspeakable oppression.

“Four skulls of evil Asuras, of course, count as achievements! You performed bravely in Yu Yuan, and of course no one can fault you.”

Ying Wu spoke in a low voice: "But you, as the current generation's peerless prodigies, hunt in groups. Is your goal only this Only to 'find no fault' Who is Ji Zhao Nan For someone like you, an unparalleled warrior, could a mere few Asura satisfy your appetite"

He looked at Gan Chang'an: "You had the talent of Chang'an at the age of eight, and now you are almost twenty-eight years old. Are you still satisfied with just 'Chang'an'"

He looked at Jiang Wang again: “You brought news of the Shenxiao world from the demon realm, you participated in Fu Hai’s death in the bewildering realm, and you witnessed Meng Tianhai being punished by disaster water – Jiang Ge Yuan, you are already a person who can be recorded in history. Now these trivial matters, can they truly excite you”

For today's Yuquan Great Wall, the Qin people spared no effort.

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

After the decisive victory at the River Valley, the Qin people did not boast about their triumph. Instead, they adopted a low-key approach in diplomacy, feigning exhaustion and vulnerability. They retreated behind closed doors to carefully savor the fruits of victory.

It is not only about paralyzing the present world's countries, but also about paralyzing Yu Yuan Shura and looking forward to the entire new wilderness continent.

The projection of Wuguan in Yuyuan has stood firm for countless years, holding the line against the Asura clan's attacks and guarding the entrance to the mortal realm.

Xu Wang arrived at Yu Yuan, a seemingly ordinary change of guard. Over the years, he had visited Yu Yuan many times, showing no more ambition than other generals. Wang Xi, who held no official position, quietly went to Yu Yuan, unnoticed.

>

It was during this usual shift change that Xu Wang launched a surprise attack!

The mighty Asura King, AYe, was slain. His army was routed, scattering like chaff in the wind. They broke through the core of the Asura forces, piercing their battle lines. They even launched a full-scale assault, forcing the Asuras to rapidly retreat and consolidate their defenses.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the Asura clan's shrinking front lines, they hastily constructed fortifications, erecting three formidable passes known as "Jia Yu," "Hu Lao," and "Shan Hai." Together with the real projections of Wu Guan, these formed the initial skeletal structure of the Yu Yuan Great Wall.

During the process of building this fortress, troops swept across the land, clearing the Asura defense line while simultaneously piercing Yu Yuan and making a detour to the Xue Guo. This not only opened up a passage through Yu Yuan between Qin Xue and two countries, but also effectively divided Yu Yuan in reality, and more importantly, it was to facilitate the transcendence of Qin Taizu.

Only after Qin Li's collaboration did this dividing line appear, and Yu Yuan's Changcheng rose from the ground.

After the Asura clan reacted, Xu Mo personally led a massive army into battle, disregarding casualties and repeatedly clashing with the Asura's powerful forces in the wild. Mountains were flattened, old forests turned into deep valleys, and the casualties of both armies were heartbreaking. The list of names for compensation inside the central military tent piled up like mountains.

Once the Yu Yuan Great Wall was successfully built, Xu Mo immediately retracted his defenses, shifting from offense to defense. He would rather weep for his comrades on the city walls than allow them to leave the city for revenge. He refused to engage in protracted warfare, only seeking to maximize the value of the Yu Yuan Great Wall.

This series of maneuvers is nothing short of breathtaking, a whirlwind of brilliant tactics, each strike landing with pinpoint accuracy. It's no wonder he's the famed general who defeated Xiang Longxiang and won the Hegu War.

The State of Qin's preparations at Yuyan were so thorough.

Even without the joining of the State of Li, the Yuguan Long Wall could be successfully built. After the State of Li joined, the Qin state appeared even more at ease.

This "calmness" resulted in the radical faction, led by Qin Prince Yingwu, wanting to achieve greater victories before the Divine Thunder War began.

Even the head of a Shura king and the Yuquan Great Wall, considered a marvel of the present world, could not satisfy him.

Such ambition, capable of swallowing the sun and moon!

Flames danced in the cavern, and Ying Wu's eyes, like those of a fierce tiger or lion, blazed with ambition in the firelight. Ying Wu's question echoed in everyone's ears.

Ji Zhao nan shook his head. "I don't have much of an appetite, let alone whether I'm satisfied."

Here is the text within the tags translated into English:

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

Yingwu looked at him: "I know, you, Ji Zhaonan, are skilled in fighting and killing. Only Li Yi, who has reached the realm of Dongzhen, can satisfy your appetite. Unfortunately, he achieved enlightenment in one step, leaving you with only wasted youth."

But you, Ji Zhao Nan, wouldn't stop here, would you

“The distance between you and Li Yi is farther, but also closer. After reaching the pinnacle of the present world, further progress becomes increasingly difficult. He needs to expand outwards at his limit, every step is a thousandfold difficulty, while you still have the possibility of rapid growth, which means you have more time to catch up.”

"General Ji, although the scenery of Dongzhen is certainly pleasant, would you be content with the status quo Whether or not you challenge Li Yi is unimportant; what matters is how you challenge the future. This Lone King will give you more than just unprecedented achievements; I will also provide you with an opportunity to break through yourself!"

Ji Zhaonan no longer cared about how even Ying Wu knew he wanted to challenge Li Yi. It seemed like everyone already knew this. His silent demeanor showed that he had been moved by Ying Wu's words.

Yingwu looked at Gan Chang'an.

Gan Chang'an pondered and said, "In a person's life, there are so many storms. Who can truly find peace Being able to live in peace like this already makes me content. I don't need to surpass the eight-year-old version of myself. What do you think"

Ying Wu remained silent.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"Gan Chang'an changed his expression to a wry smile: 'Your Highness, I am still just a divine general. My great-grandfather is truly waiting for me to return home and have tea.'"

When it came to his own men, Ying Wu wasn't so polite. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "When we make our move, you're in charge of lookout."

Though Gan Bu is undoubtedly honorable and respected, a veteran of the army and an old retainer of the Qin state. He is, after all, ultimately a subject of the Ying clan's royal family.

Facing Ying Wu, the Qin prince who was almost certain to ascend to the throne, Gan Chang'an couldn't rely on anyone. He could only sigh inwardly.

He couldn't help but ponder... Which side was more dangerous, the Chouchong River crossing or the Yuyan pass outside the Great Wall

There are two Jiang Wangs, and Jiang Wang can cancel each other out. So, between Li Yi and Ying Wu, who is more likely to cause trouble Who is more dangerous

Gan Chang'an watched Wuming with his peripheral vision, while Wuming looked at Jiang Wang.

The newly formed Chang'an squad is awaiting the final decision.

Jiang Wang didn't speak immediately.

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

Ying Wu's words were loud, but there was one thing he said right — the death of several Asuras couldn't bring him too much excitement.

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

He has always been in a state of rapid growth, and he is still pursuing better cultivation.

He would rather encounter a wicked Asura like Zong Yan, fighting fiercely for a long time or fleeing in defeat. He could learn more and reap greater rewards from such experiences.

The Ugu tribesmen, surrounded on all sides by their enemies, fought with little passion. The battle was devoid of suspense and merely served as a task to be completed. They couldn't savor the thrill of combat or push themselves towards greater strength.

Ying Wu was indeed a truly charismatic and heroic figure. He was well-prepared and knew how to address the root of the problem. Even if he hadn't been born into royalty, such a person would undoubtedly rise from humble beginnings, gather followers, and achieve great things.

But this kind of person is also extremely dangerous.

Throughout history, which hero who rose to power wasn't standing on a mountain of bones

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

Ying Wu continued, "Master Jiang Ge, my secret trip out this time was to find you first. Because you were the first to draw your sword against Huang Ye Yu that day, I believe in your courage. Chong Xuan Zun and Qin Zhi Zhen are also members of Tai Xu Pavilion, and they are both peerless geniuses, but I still feel that with Master Jiang Ge's support, this adventure has a chance of success."

Such blatant pitting one against the other, Jiang Wang couldn't remain silent.

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

He spoke slowly, "I don't yet know what your plans are. To strive for something hopeful is bravery, to fight for an impossible delusion is self-destruction. I am still young, and I do not want to die."

Ying Wu opened his mouth: "I will kill Huang Ye Yu."

A simple sentence, like a bolt from the blue. The cave was silent for a moment, and even the flames seemed to freeze.

Jiang Wang was used to large crowds, so he only said "Oh": "Has the Marquis arrived Are we going to be bait"

Yingwu smiled: "Is Mr. Jiang accustomed to being bait"

Please note: I've removed the extra "" characters that appeared in your input.

"These days I've been making bait..." said Gan Chang'an softly.

The heavy atmosphere finally dissipated somewhat.

But Yingwu continued, "The demise of the Asura King Ayiji was largely due to his carelessness. He was accustomed to the intensity of past wars and overestimated himself, thinking he stood at the pinnacle of transcendence. He didn't expect Qin's army to launch such a sudden war and underestimated Zhenhou's strength. After Ayiji's death, these Asura Kings became extremely vigilant. It would be impossible for Zhenhou and his forces to succeed in striking down those at the peak."

Ji Zhao Nan shot him a sideways glance. "So you're saying killing Huang Ye Yu"

Ying Wudao: "Now the Asura Ten Lords are besieging the city. As long as the Marquis of Zhen exits the city, the Asuras will inevitably swarm out. Once the Marquis's whereabouts are not controlled, the Asuras will surely be alerted. Therefore, this time, not only will the Marquis and his people not make a move, but they will also display their presence on the Great Wall, letting the Asuras know that the six peak powerhouses of the human race are all on the Great Wall. Thus causing them to relax their vigilance outside the Great Wall—"

"Wait." Gan Chang'an interrupted, shocked. "So you're saying that Zhenhou knew you ventured out of the city walls and planned to kill Huang Yexu"

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

"Of course," Ying Wu said calmly. "This matter still requires the cooperation of the Duke Zhen. How could I hide it from him Do you think I left the Great Wall this time because my brain is hot, or am I here to enjoy the scenery"

If Xu Meng knew, then the Qin emperor would surely have known as well...

>

Gan Chang'an couldn't help but say: "Would the emperor of Great Qin actually allow his prince to take such a risk"

Wherever Qin soldiers can go, the Crown Prince of Qin can also go. Whatever dangers Qin soldiers can face, the Crown Prince of Qin can also face. Let us be comrades in arms!

Ying Wu stood proudly and declared: "The emperor governs the nation, one should not act rashly. The prince who inherits the throne must display the grandeur of a successor. This king's ambition is not to be the Emperor of Qin, but the Son of Heaven ruling over all under heaven. If I were to die here today, it would only mean that I am unworthy and do not possess the qualifications for such ambitions. Since I am incapable of becoming the Son of Heaven, there is no need to ascend the Dragon Throne, nor to squander the efforts of the ancestors of Qin - there is also no need to live."

The words of the prince of Qin were loud and clear.

The voice of the Qin nobleman Gan Chang'an was faint: "If I die here, no one will accompany my great-grandfather to drink tea..."

Yingwu glanced at him: "Before, I didn't know you loved tea so much. Seems like I have to remember that in the future."

Gan Chang'an said excitedly, "But even if the great-grandfather sits alone with a cup of wine and no one to drink with, I must still accompany Your Highness!"

Jiang Wang ignored their Qin people's conversation and simply said: "I want to hear the complete plan before deciding whether or not to participate."

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

"That should be the case." Ying Wu Dao said, "Let me be direct. At an opportune moment, Huang Ye Yu will learn that the prince of Qin has left the Great Wall. I will kill Zong Yan—no, defeat him. He will be severely wounded and flee to a perilous place; I will be unable to pursue him and have to return."

This prince of the Qin Dynasty was truly confident, treating the champion chasing squad – the formidable Asura Sect who could soar to the heavens and bury themselves in the earth – as nothing more than prey to be toyed with and disposed of at will.

He stated clearly: "The Asura Clan will know that Prince Qin's purpose in personally leaving the Great Wall this time is to kill Zong Yan, build military merit, and establish prestige."

They will certainly want to kill me, but no Asura can do that. So the ruler of this area, Emperor Yèyu, naturally shoulders the responsibility.

“Of course, at this time, Lord Zheng would also try to rescue me, even mobilizing his entire army and sending troops out of the city gates.”

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

“How could the Asura Clan let the Qin Crown Prince, who was right within their grasp, escape The remaining nine Asura Kings would surely fight to the death on the front lines, blocking my path back. In the process, they'd even be willing to suffer heavy losses, just to prevent General Zhenhou and his troops from advancing an inch. It leaves me gazing at the Great Wall in despair.”

Ying Wu smiled: "So at this time, in this vast expanse of heaven and earth, there are only us and Huang Ye Yu. This is the best time for us to kill Huang Ye Yu."

>

"That's a good plan, the timing is perfect," Jiang Wang said impassively. "Then there's only one question left—how do you plan to kill him"

"It wasn't me." Ying Wu Dao said, "I said 'we'. Me and you, together, we kill Huang Ye Yu."

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

Jiang Wang almost wanted to give this Qin prince a round of applause.

>

He drew his sword against Huang Ye Yu within the Great Wall's encirclement. He was just testing his skills, relying on the fact that within the human territory's range, there was the Great Wall as a barrier and True Lords protecting him.

Yingwu really wanted to kill Huang Ye Yu, he's really daring!

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

But he suddenly remembered the "meeting" at Zhen Guan back then.

The prince of Xi Qin and "Tianxia Li Yi" had known each other for a long time.

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

Yingwu had been the number one true man in the Western Region long ago, becoming a true man even earlier than Li Yi.

Li Yi, at the age of thirty-seven, has now attained enlightenment. What about Ying Wu, who is forty-three

Jiang Wang had a rough idea of where Ying Wu's confidence came from. He felt boundless in his ambition, knowing that there were many heroes in the world. Indeed, it filled him with courage: "Your Highness, are you preparing to ascend the pinnacle this time"

Ying Wu laughed freely: "Mr. Jiang, you have sharp eyes!"

He was indeed preparing to ascend the path of transcendence. Only by taking that final step to reach the summit, transforming from a mortal into an immortal, could he turn the tables and become the hunter instead of the prey.

But can Ying Wu, who has just reached the pinnacle, kill another peak expert

This is not just about winning, it's about life and death. They are on the Asura Clan's territory, with nine Lords blocking their way forward, and behind them lies a vast expanse of the New Wilderness Continent and the endless depths of the Abyssal Purgatory.

If we cannot kill Huang Ye Yu, and instead allow it to entangle us, then everyone will be lost.

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

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, “If we join forces, and with Your Highness reaching the summit, we would indeed have a chance to defeat Huang Ye Yu. But to kill him, I'm afraid it won't be easy.”

Ying Wu calmly said, "I still have the Baqiao Bridge with me."

In the past, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, to commemorate his achievements, refined the thirteenth best cave in the Thirty-Six Small Heavenly Caves, known as Haosheng Xuan Shangtian, into a treasure named Baqiao.
