Chapter 184: How Could He Be Like This?
tle of an eighteen-year-old hereditary baron was enough to get him into the aristocratic circle of Qi.Zhong Xuan Sheng chose to have Jiang Wang represent him in delivering the gift because Jiang Wang...Ding Wei floated on an island.
The sudden displacement of the entire mystical realm, of course, was first sensed by Ding Jingshan and Bai Xiangwang.

But their reactions were entirely different.
"It seems that fate favors our human race," Ding Jingshan grinned. "Come, come, come! It just so happens that the realm of illusions is shifting, and the surrounding situation is uncertain. To prevent any accidents, please, White Elephant King, ascend to the island for a chat!"
The human cultivators on the island shouted in unison, "Please, White Elephant King, come to the island!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In previous battles, the White Elephant King led the sea tribe army as a vanguard and launched three assaults on the floating island, but all three times they were driven back by Ding Jingshan and his men.
The suppression of the islanders by the Floating Island's rules is, in itself, the greatest reliance for guarding the island.
But as the attacks of the sea races continue, the floating island itself is also being "remade". When its unique rules disappear, it will be the time when the entire floating island falls.
But at this moment, Ding Jingshan was brimming with confidence and once again invited Bai Xiangwang to attack.

Bai Xiang Wang stood outside the island, watching as the great array of light had already been broken. Now, smoke and flames filled Ding Wei Fu Island. This island was almost like a piece of fat right at his mouth. If he had just half an hour more, he would be able to swallow it whole, but...
He finally just gloomily spat out two words: "Retreat!"
As for the reason for the withdrawal of troops, it was actually already stated in Ding Jingshan's words: "The shifting of the dimensional barriers, the surrounding situation is unpredictable."
Even Bai Xiangwang and Ding Jingshan couldn't know at this time, how many regions were connected to the Ding Wei region, and which ones they were.

Attacking the floating island itself means fighting under pressure, and it's not something that can be accomplished quickly. At this time, the five sea forts are also lacking in manpower.
If the chosen location happens to be near the territory of a dominant human race, and they send out a large army to take advantage of the situation, it would be a complete loss. There's even a high chance that the humans could launch a pincer attack, completely annihilating the Bai Xiang Wang's army before they could fully mobilize.
Bai Xiangwang couldn't possibly take that kind of risk. After all, with Jiang Wang having escaped, the significance of capturing Ding Wei's floating island had diminished greatly. Therefore, he decisively ordered a retreat, completely unaffected by his emotions.
In fact, within the Mist Realm, regardless of whether it's the Human Race or the Sea Race, there has always been a tacit understanding that when shifting positions within the Mist Realm, they adhere to their respective headquarters. Only when there are no worries about their rear can they venture out for exploration.
This is not a matter of etiquette, but the experience accumulated through countless bloody lessons. Both humans and merfolk have suffered greatly in this regard.
The White Elephant King defended the outskirts of the floating island. When he arrived, he personally led the vanguard, and when he retreated, he personally covered the rearguard.
Setting aside personal opinions, he is indeed a qualified prince.
Even Ding Jing Shan couldn't help but feel relieved looking at the dense army of sea creatures retreating.
His eyes remained fixed on the white elephant king, maintaining the necessary vigilance.
In my heart, I had already made a decision. After this battle, no matter what, I would find a way to build a second floating island.
But even after seeing the army retreat, there were still human cultivators on Dingwei Floating Island who did not relax. Finally, Bai Xiangwang abandoned his last plan of attack and turned to leave.
He was the rearguard, and had not ruled out the possibility of luring the enemy again, but Ding Jingshan, in his vulnerable position, was remarkably steady.
Of course, there was no regret on his face.
"Did Yu Siqing catch anyone over there" he asked casually.
After a moment, the reply came—"Fish Handsome...he was chasing his target and went to another area with it."
Bai Xiangwang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

As Fish Lineage's heir, he possessed immense divine powers and strength. It was illogical for him to venture into an unfamiliar region without any prior knowledge. Yet, he was merely dutifully carrying out his orders to capture Jiang Wang.

You still owe me a King's Pearl, it's not the other way around, let me owe you more... That's not how you repay a debt.
With such a sense of melancholy in her heart, Jiang Wang appeared in an area that felt "strange."
The reason why it's considered strange is that here, everything seems too normal!
Above is the sky, below is fertile land. Flowers bloom everywhere, and green grass carpets the ground.
The sky is clear and the sun shines brightly. In the distance, one can see hills and mountains.
That feeling of utter disorientation and chaos simply vanished here.
>
This place is simply heaven on earth!
And it was peaceful, with no strife.
It is precisely this "normality" that appears particularly strange in the realm of fantasy.
But Jiang Wang didn't have time to think too much, because behind him, Yu Siqing had already appeared.
At this time, Yu Siqing's fish lineage has already received the main phase of the sea master, looking extremely miserable.
With two fingers severed from his right hand and his left leg broken at the knee, he stood alone behind Jiang Wang. Judging by his appearance alone, he didn't look like a powerful pursuer at all.
He and Jiang Wang arrived in this realm one after the other. The moment their feet touched the ground, their faces changed drastically.
Because this area is extremely close to the mortal world, it's normal for Jiang Wang. But for him, it's a suppression!
He, who had been lost in the world of illusions for so long, didn't know where he was going. He risked everything to chase Jiang Wang, gambling on his luck, and ended up drawing the "Lower-Down" omen!
This is one of the few areas in the entire Demon Realm that is completely occupied by humans!
Before he could figure out which area this was, Jiang Wang's sword had already come charging at him.
Although Jiang Wang didn't know what region this was, his feelings about this place were genuine and true.
>
In his eyes, this was a large floating island in the Illusory Realm, and Yu Siqing had fallen here with him. His combat power remained unaffected, while the opponent, being a sea creature, was suppressed by the rules.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Although he fought continuously, exhausting himself considerably, the opponent also repeatedly used their Sea Lord form. Coupled with his complete limbs and the opponent losing two fingers and a leg in the River of Boundaries, ...
Previously not a contender, now they are a force to be reckoned with!
Even with good luck, it can't change your weakness! Yu Siqing countered with a claw, trapping the thrusting sword within an inch of space through the air.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Wang clenched his sword, and a spiral of sword energy exploded around the blade, forcing Yu Siqing to loosen his grip.
Then, taking advantage of the situation, he slashed diagonally with his sword, severing the opponent's remaining right leg.
This sword strike was somewhat treacherous. Yu Siqing was furious and shouted, "Even with one leg broken, I'll still kill you!"
He didn't dodge, but instead directly split his fingers like claws and ripped forward with a claw.
This claw tore at empty space, but Jiang Wang, dodging with his sword, had five bloody gashes ripped into his left arm, deep enough to be seen to the bone.
Yu Siqing's talent was truly terrifying. He had unleashed it continuously today, and still seemed to have plenty of power left. In terms of developing divine abilities, he even surpassed Jiang Wang.
However, when this claw fell, Yu Siqing's face showed no joy, and Jiang Wang's face showed no fear.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Because the harvest from this claw is far less than expected!
He intended to take out Jiang Wang's heart, but he only injured his left arm.
Under the suppression of rules in this area, his strength has fallen at least from a high-ranking commander to a mid-ranking one. If he was previously one level higher than Jiang Wang, now they are only even.
And at the same level, who does Jiang Wang fear
Yu Siqing's divine ability involves the rules of space, which can ignore distance and be inescapable.
But just now, Jiang Wang had predicted the landing point and dodged in advance.
He couldn't dodge Yushuqing's divine abilities, but he could judge the landing point of Yushuqing's attack.
Although he couldn't completely avoid it in their last confrontation, he greatly reduced the threat of this divine ability. And as he fought Fish Lineage for a longer time, his predictions would become more accurate.

“This time, it might be you running away!”
As Jiang Wang spoke, he pressed his left hand forward, and the Eight Sounds Burning Sea roared once more.
>
He walked across the flames, sword gripped tight.
The fish heir, Yu Si, clenched his teeth and revealed his true form as the Sea Lord once more. His wings flapped, dodging the Eight Sounds Burning Sea before it even arrived.
This time, he refused to bear the burden of saving time any longer.
But the most crucial question is—
This area is completely dominated by humans. The longer you linger near the border river, the greater the chance of being captured by the local human forces.
But the recent clash has proven that he can no longer quickly resolve Jiang Wang's matter.
Even under the pressure of the rules of this place, he was far superior to Jiang Wang in speed. But he couldn't escape directly! For the same reason, the further he stayed away from the River of Boundaries, the more dangerous it became.
At the same time, he had no crystal bridge on him and couldn't return across the river.
If Jiang Wang had been in a desperate situation before, then at this time, he actually tasted a little bit of Jiang Wang's feelings!
“When a man cannot cross a river, yet he crosses it. Having crossed the river and died, what does it matter to him!” — Cai Yong's *Qin Cao* *Kong Hou Yin*
The latter two sentences have many versions, such as "Falling into the river and dying, what does it have to do with you!" or "If you fall into the river and die, what does it have to do with you"
This is due to the poor preservation methods in ancient times. In the process of copying, errors were inevitable. As pirated copies multiplied, they became more and more diverse. What was passed down were all ancient texts, and in the end, it was impossible to tell which one was authentic. Sometimes, the original meaning was lost, which is truly regrettable.
Therefore, the importance of genuine products is evident.
Here, I call on everyone to start reading the genuine version of “Red Heart Patroling the Heavens”.
No more regret that "Qin Cao" (The Music of the Lute) has missing characters, gaps, or even been lost!
(The current genuine version is really good. Even students who can't afford to buy books can read for free by clicking on ads. You can also interact and discuss the plot with everyone in the chapter comments.)
