Chapter 161: Sacrificing Flesh to Offer Jewels
extremely time-consuming, extremely laborious, inch by inch space check!Even invisibility couldn't withstand a search of this intensity. Invisibility can deceive the senses, but it cannot truly make...Zhuang Gaoxian's words were eloquently spoken, but he didn't think Song Hengjiang truly dared to make a move against him.
Indeed, Song Hengjiang had once been at the peak of his power, just one step away from enlightenment. But back then, he suffered irreversible injuries, shattering his golden body and jade marrow. For all these years, his greatest effort has probably been to stabilize his cultivation and prevent his strength from fading too quickly.
And at that time, when Zhuang Gao Xian was in the prime of his life, having killed many people with his own hands, he was flourishing.
One's waning, the other flourishing, the difference is obvious.
>
Qingjiang Shuijun, could it be that you are truly as valiant as they say
Even after hundreds of years, a body that is already rotting and diseased, shouldn't it have long since submitted to its fate and accepted old age How can it still be so stubbornly defiant
How dare Song Hengjiang!
He actually dared to!
>
And he really can!
Eight hundred miles of the vast Qingjiang River, as if in this moment, all condensed into his fist.
At this moment, Zhuang Gao Xian deeply felt.
Every drop of water, every inch of space here bears the mark of Song Hengjiang.
He has protected this waters for hundreds of years, he is Qingjiang, Qingjiang is his Song Hengjiang.
The so-called master of the land, mountains and rivers, has never truly owned Qingjiang! Zhuang Chengqian did not, nor did his son, Zhuang Gaoxian!
Zhuang Gaoen had to admit, the fist of this decrepit old man put pressure on him, a being like himself. But only pressure.

Song Hengjiang's fist swung, and just like that, it "swung".
Without making a ripple, it had already "passed over" Zhuang Gaoxian.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhuang Gaoxian stood on the spot, envy weighing down his hands, so much that not even the corner of his robe moved.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This punch ended it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A wry smile played at the corner of Song Hengjiang's mouth.
He so truly felt that he was really old. No longer the domineering and unparalleled Song Hengjiang who once ran rampant in the waters.
He believed that with his management of Qingjiang and the vast expanse of 800 li of Qingjiang River, he had a chance to shake the foundation of the current world's greatest master.
This should not be translated as it's a tag and not text. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But he forgot, he is no longer the same as before.
In that instant when he threw his fist, he actually had a chance to shake Zhu Gaoxian's position. But at most, he could only make Zhu Gaoxian take a step back.
> More things... At that moment, he couldn't do it.
He was old, truly old. This frail body had long since lost the vitality it once possessed. His energy and spirit were far from complete.
And he only had that one instant's chance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Because in this very moment, it was enough for Zhuang Gaoen to see across the entire 800-mile Qingjiang River.
Song Hengjiang retracted his fist, standing there with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
>
At first glance, it seemed as if he gritted his teeth and exerted every ounce of strength to swing a fist at Zhuang Gaoxian, only for it to circle around in front of him before returning.
Heroes of old have faded, their glory now a memory.
His proud frame bent once more, as if finally accepting his fate and acknowledging himself to be an old man.

This figure is so lonely.
The water guards standing behind him, supporting him with their lives, were unknowingly already in tears.
Zhuang Gaoxian did not pay attention to Song Hengjiang's feelings, or perhaps he did notice them but didn't care.
What caught his attention was a mysterious place.
The realm of the true essence lies in refining the spirit and grasping the fundamental nature of heaven and earth.
Deeply true, deeply penetrating truth.
The entire Qingjiang Shui Mansion, even the entire 80-li stretch of the Qingjiang River, couldn't possibly conceal any secrets from him.
The Qingjiang Water Mansion had already been investigated. He noticed that Song Hengjiang's son had reached the peak of the Outer Courtyard realm and even touched the threshold of the Divine Arrival realm. He also noticed that there were three powerful Outer Courtyard masters hidden within the Qingjiang Water Mansion, making it quite well-endowed. The little girl he had once considered marrying was being led away from this water area by an old man carrying a tortoise shell... It seemed Song Hengjiang was truly determined to go all out.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
At this moment, he had a complete understanding of the secrets of Qingjiang Water Mansion.
But at the bottom of the Qingjiang River, there is a mysterious place that even his divine sense cannot penetrate.
What is that place
Could the Qingjiang River actually have such a place
He gave Song Hengjiang a casual glance and vanished before the Water Mansion gate, heading straight for the bottom of the water!
But Du Ruhui remained in place, quietly watching Song Hengjiang.
In his view, Song Hengjiang's reaction today was very strange.
It's understandable that he wouldn't want to be searched by the Clearwater Water Temple, and even feeling insulted is reasonable. But was it necessary for things to reach a point of no return
Or could this level of "insult" compare to the previous alliance with the Luo nation's navy to enter Lan The Luo nation is the sworn enemy of all aquatic races.
If Song Hengjiang were so passionate and reckless, why would he have lasted until today He was in a much better position during the war against Zhuang Yongguo!
Of course, Du Ruhui was so wise that he would surely know there was a problem here.
So Zhuang Gaoxian found something amiss and left, but he chose to stay behind and watch Song Hengjiang.
Song Hengjiang moved, and he also left.
In the immense underwater chasm, Zhuang Gaoxian stood before the sheer cliff face. The water tendrils offered no obstacle to his vision, but what secrets lay hidden within the cave beyond them, he could not see through with a single glance.
He couldn't see through it at a glance!
Song Hengjiang arrived swiftly, riding the water and blocking his path between him and the cave. Behind him, those ferocious water vines that had chosen their victims to devour now appeared quite docile.
"Your Majesty!"
He pleaded earnestly, “This place is top secret. Besides me, no one else knows about it. There's absolutely no possibility that the murderer of the vice-premier could be hiding here.”
Du Ruhui, who had caught up, watched him quietly. On this elderly Water Jun, he saw for the first time... weakness.
Even Song Hengjiang, the domineering figure who dared to wage a bloody battle on Lan River hundreds of years ago, and the Song Hengjiang who dared to confront the current masters, could have moments of weakness
Zhuang Gaoqian calmly said, "Whether it exists or not, I can tell at a glance."
"This place is a private sanctuary of the Water God's Mansion, not worth visiting." Song Hengjiang's wrinkles trembled as he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty's previous attempt to find a suitable match for the prince could be discussed again!"
In order to prevent Zhuang Gaoxian from entering the Water Demon Cave, he would rather let Song Qingzhi marry Prince Zhuang!
Song Qingzhi was his daughter born in his old age, and he loved her dearly as a treasure.
>>>Even when Zhuang Gaoxian initially sought to marry the prince, he was harshly rejected. Later, when Song Qingyao mobilized aquatic creatures for a military display and threatened Zhuang Ting in an attempt to pressure him, it was also with his acquiescence. He wanted to shatter Zhuang Gaoxian's illusions.
This time, when he had a disagreement with Du Ruhui, he was the first to have his subordinates take Song Qingzhi away to avoid potential danger. However, he left his son, Song Qingyue, at the Ministry of Water Affairs to face the situation.
Song Qingzhi is the apple of his eye, his precious jewel.
Yet, at this very moment, I offer my flesh as tribute to the pearl!
Zhuang Gaoen fell silent for a moment, moved by the terms.
He sought to marry the Water Palace Princess for the crown prince, of course, in order to completely control the Clear River Water Palace and turn the Clear River Aquatic beings into commoners. At this time, Song Hengjiang was willing to open a chink, willing to drink poison to quench his thirst, he had no reason not to agree.
But...
>
He couldn't help but wonder. What secrets were hidden within this underwater cave that would cause Song Hengjiang to yield so readily, and make him sacrifice so much
Can the unknown mystery compare to the rewards within our grasp
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!hongxuan Sheng in his place, perhaps Gao Zhe's actions today would have been premeditated, and he might have performed even better. If it were Jiang Wang in his place, then Rong Guo would have already...
