The Legend of the Sword God (Part Two)

Section Two
When Jiang Ze returned via the same route, he saw the distant sky filled with thick smoke and immediately knew that the Yellow Sand Bandits

had begun their attack on the Blue-Eyed Tribe
. His mount quickened its pace, galloping rapidly towards the Blue-Eyed Tribe's village. Before
Jiang Ze even reached the camp, he saw about a dozen Yellow Sand Bandits spot him in the distance. Shouts erupted as these bandits drew their weapons and spurred their horses toward him. 　　Jiang Ze remained unfazed. 　　The sixth rank and the fifth rank were a huge dividing line. From the sixth rank onwards, the flow of "Qi" could not only be controlled internally but also sensed in others. 　　Jiang Ze immediately sensed that of the dozen or so Yellow Sand Bandits approaching, eight were only at the first rank, and the rest were all at the second rank. Now, having entered the sixth rank, he could easily take on four fifth-rank bandits single-handedly; he didn't take these dozen or so men seriously. 　　The dozen or so riders quickly closed in on Jiang Ze. They shouted in unison and then formed a fan shape, attempting to seize him. 　　Jiang Ze watched them approach with a cold smile, and only when the wind whistled through the air did a cold glint flash in his eyes. 　　"Clang! Clang! Clang!" 　　Three swords snapped instantly, and three Yellow Sand Bandits didn't even have time to utter a sound before their eyes darted around and they fell from their horses. 　　The remaining dozen or so riders were immediately terrified by the scene before them, momentarily forgetting to move. 　　In their stunned silence, Jiang Ze's longsword flashed like lightning, slicing through the air. One of the second-tier Yellow Sand Bandits, who had just regained his senses, was cleaved from his horse, sword and all, by a single strike, unable to withstand even a single blow, losing his life. The remaining Yellow Sand Bandits were then horrified to discover that this young man before them was incredibly strong. Wasn't it said that Wu Yunda, the strongest member of 　　the Blue- Eyed Clan, was only a fifth-tier warrior? Why...? 　　These sand bandits, ruthless plunderers, often encountered tribal experts, thus honing their extraordinary escape skills. With a shout, a dozen or so riders immediately scattered and fled forward. 　　Jiang Ze was stunned; the decisive escape of these men shocked him with the sand bandits' alertness. A murderous glint flashed ; these people posed a far greater threat. The 　　Blue-Eyed Clan's tribe was in sight. 　　The able-bodied men of the tribe were already engaged in fierce combat with the sand bandits. No matter how powerful the sand bandits were, the Blue-Eyed Clan had a considerable number of members who cultivated "Qi," and in a short time, the sand bandits could not possibly defeat this powerful Blue-Eyed Clan force. 　　However, when Jiang Ze saw the scene, he couldn't help but gasp. 　　The Blue-Eyed Clan's camp was in chaos, with flashing swords, blood staining the ground, and many tents already engulfed in flames. What shocked Jiang Ze most was that a force of about a hundred men, led by the Yellow Sand Bandit leader "Lone Wolf," was surrounding dozens of Blue-Eyed Tribe warriors, including Wu Yunda, and relentlessly charging at them. 　　In an instant, he understood Lone Wolf's purpose. 　　During this time, Jiang Ze learned from Ji Na that in this vast desert, the leader of each tribe was always the bravest and strongest warrior. They were the representatives and symbols of each tribe, and all the tribespeople regarded them as gods. Every order from the leader was carried out by the tribe's warriors without hesitation. 　　If Wu Yunda, as the leader of the Blue-Eyed Tribe, were to be defeated, the blow to the entire tribe would be immense. If he were unfortunately captured by the enemy, it would be a fatal blow to morale. 　　However, Lone Wolf's wishful thinking was thwarted. 　　Feeling the inexhaustible "qi" within his body, Jiang Ze spurred his warhorse without hesitation and charged into the battle . 　　Along the way, he was invincible. 　　The slender, lone wolf with a long scar on his face stared at Jiang Ze with lightning speed, his expression one of shock. 　　"Sixth Rank!" 　　Wu Yunda and the other blue-eyed warriors in the arena were all stunned by the lone wolf's words, followed by a surge of wild joy. 　　Jiang Ze was actually a sixth-rank warrior… 　　Wu Yunda roared, "Warriors, today, we will ensure the lone wolf never returns to the desert!" 　　The blue-eyed warriors beside him were filled with renewed vigor. 　　"Kill!" 　　To capture the leader, Jiang Ze's eyes blazed with killing intent. Like a tiger among sheep, he plunged into the sand bandits, closing in on the lone wolf . 　　"Get out of the way!" the lone wolf roared, drawing a thick-backed sword from his waist and charging towards Jiang Ze on horseback , his killing intent palpable. 　　The lone wolf's men immediately parted to make way for him; they were terrified by Jiang Ze and desperately wanted to get away from him. 　　With a crisp clang, Jiang Ze's right hand, brimming with "qi" energy, was struck by a tremendous force, making his hand go numb and causing him to inwardly exclaim in awe. 　　Lone Wolf wasn't faring much better. Although he had been at the sixth rank for several years, he hadn't made any progress in those years , and his strength wasn't much stronger than Jiang Ze's, who had just advanced. In this simultaneous all-out attack, neither gained any advantage. 　　Lone Wolf's ferocity was ignited, his eyes flashing with a murderous light as he swung his thick-backed sword at Jiang Ze relentlessly . 　　Without Lone Wolf's pressure, Wu Yunda and his group of blue-eyed warriors were all bloodthirsty. Taking advantage of the lulls in Lone Wolf's fight with Jiang Ze, their forty or fifty men slaughtered nearly thirty of the enemy's men. 　　Lone Wolf, however, was cursing inwardly amidst the battle. 　　The strongest member of the Blue-Eyed Clan, Wu Yunda, was a fifth-tier cultivator, a full tier lower than him. This was why he dared to attack so aggressively, intending to crush the Blue-Eyed Clan swiftly, plunder their resources and women, and leave triumphantly. This was their usual modus operandi. 　　He had already forced Wu Yunda into a retreat; he thought he could finish him off soon enough. But unexpectedly, a sixth-tier cultivator appeared out of nowhere, his strength astonishing, not . 　　At this moment, he resolved to seize this opportunity to eliminate this person; otherwise, his position as the Desert King would be severely threatened. 　　The lone wolf emitted a strange howl. The yellow sand bandits, currently engaged in fierce combat with the Blue-Eyed Clan, heard it...

A howl rang out, and they immediately surrounded him.
Suddenly, nearly thirty more Yellow Sand Bandits appeared. Although a dozen or twenty Blue-Eyed Clan members came to his aid, Jiang

Ze's pressure increased dramatically. He immediately knew that Lone Wolf's objective had shifted from Wu Yunda to

him, intending to kill him on the spot.
The fierce battle continued relentlessly.
Although Jiang Ze had already reached the sixth rank, facing the overwhelming numbers of Lone Wolf, he had already accumulated four wounds.

Even more critically, his stamina was rapidly depleting, while Lone Wolf only had two minor

wounds, not enough to force him to retreat.
Even with Wu Yunda's addition, his situation was becoming increasingly dire.
A glint of excitement flashed in Lone Wolf's eyes. He could sense that under his onslaught, the young

man before him was slowing down; he was about to give up.
Once his stamina was exhausted and an opening appeared, his thick-backed blade would take his life without hesitation

. "Prepare to die, kid."
Just as cruelty flashed in Lone Wolf's eyes, he suddenly caught sight

of dust billowing high on the distant horizon. Disbelief filled his eyes.
Hadn't he sent his fourth-tier subordinates and several second- and third-tier experts to intercept the blue-eyed tribesman who

had pleaded for help ? How could reinforcements have arrived?
Lone Wolf's expression shifted, but when he finally saw the vast army of reinforcements, he made up his mind. With a

whistle, the Yellow Sand Bandits fled the battlefield like a whirlwind.
"Brother Jiang, are you alright?" Wu Yunda approached and asked with concern. This robust man had suffered

more injuries than Jiang Ze, but he hadn't even frowned. He truly deserved to be called the bravest warrior of the Blue-Eyed Tribe.
Jiang Ze smiled wryly, "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the reinforcements brought by Ji Na, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand many of Lone Wolf's attacks."

He then chuckled, "If Lone Wolf knew that I was just putting on a brave face and that a few more moves would have been enough to

kill me, he would definitely regret it."
Wu Yunda almost laughed at him, "In this situation, Brother Jiang still showed no fear whatsoever, which is truly

admirable ." He paused, then said earnestly, "Brother Jiang's arrival has indeed brought blessings to our tribe. The Yellow Sand Bandits

, who had never failed in their previous ventures, are now running away with their tails between their legs for the first time, all thanks to Brother Jiang." At this moment, Ji Na arrived with a group of mountain warriors. Upon seeing Jiang Ze and Wu Yunda
covered in blood , she turned pale. 　　Seeing that Ji Na was the first to rush towards him, Jiang Ze said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm fine, Brother Wu 's injuries are much more serious than mine." 　　Only then did Ji Na hurry over. 　　The following time was filled with chaos. 　　As the brilliant starry sky replaced the sun's brilliance, the Blue-Eyed Tribe had thoroughly cleaned their camp, leaving it spotless and showing no trace of the blood and fire that had recently ravaged it. 　　In various open spaces throughout the camp, the Blue-Eyed Tribe had lit bonfires and were roasting fragrant beef and mutton to entertain the visiting Mountain Tribe warriors. 　　In the very center of the camp, the strongest and most respected warriors of the Mountain Tribe were receiving a personal welcome from Wu Yunda. On the Blue-Eyed Tribe's side, Jiang Ze, Ji Na, the three Blue-Eyed Tribe elders Wu Yunda's two cousins, and their respective wives were all present. 　　The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. 　　Jiang Ze noticed that on the Mountain Tribe's side, it wasn't the two elders who spoke the most, but rather the young and robust warriors. One young man, He Feng, in particular, with a cultivation level as high as the fifth rank, caught Jiang Ze's attention. 　　Sitting next to Jiang Ze, Ji Na noticed this and whispered in his ear, "He Feng is the son of the current chieftain of the Gaoshan tribe. He's very powerful. When he heard that the Huangsha bandits were coming, he didn't hesitate to bring his warriors to help. He's a very good person." 　　Jiang Ze smiled calmly, "I guess a large part of the reason he was so quick to help is because of you. Because since just now, his gaze has been on you a lot. Tell me, what's going on?" 　　A smile appeared on Ji Na's beautiful face, "There's an unwritten rule among all the tribes in our desert: once a tribe is in danger and asks another tribe for help, after the danger has passed, the warriors of the tribe that comes to the rescue have the right to have sex with any woman from the tribe that asked for help." " Spend the night with me, and you won't bear any responsibility afterwards. He Feng has been wanting to sleep with me for a long time, and tonight he can rightfully have me for the night. You won't be angry about that, will you?" 　　Jiang Ze was incredulous upon hearing this, and said with a wry smile, "Since it's your custom, why would I be angry ? What I find strange is that, apart from you, the warriors of the High Mountain Tribe all seem to be very eager to sleep with you, judging from their eyes." 　　Gina said dismissively, "What's so strange about that? The women of our Blue-Eyed Tribe have the longest and most beautiful legs in the entire desert . All tribes consider sleeping with our Blue-Eyed Tribe women the highest pleasure, and the High Mountain Tribe is no exception." 　　Jiang Ze was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized. 　　Indeed, not only Gina, but all the other adult Blue-Eyed Tribe women were tall and had long, slender legs. Most of them were only half a head shorter than Jiang Ze, while in the Empire, most women were a head shorter than Jiang Ze. Tall beauties like Yu Ya Yuan were very rare. 　　The warriors of the High Mountain Tribe before them were only about the same height as the women of the Blue-Eyed Tribe, and their slender figures were indeed very alluring. 　　At this moment, He Feng, seeing Ji Na sitting intimately with Jiang Ze, asked Wu Yunda in surprise , "Isn't Ji Na Brother Wu's wife? Why is she with this brother…?" 　　Wu Yunda immediately replied, "I haven't introduced this to you High Mountain Warriors yet. This is Jiang Ze, from a kingdom called the Empire. He was recently pursued by enemies and fled into the desert, where he was brought to our Blue-Eyed Tribe by the Wind God. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here safely, enjoying drinks with you all. As for me, I already gave Ji Na to Brother Jiang." 　　Wu Yunda's words immediately attracted the attention of all the High Mountain Warriors, especially He Feng, whose eyes gleamed. 　　The two High Mountain Elders' eyes lit up upon hearing this, one of them saying, "Brother Jiang is actually from…"

Beyond the sea of sands lies something truly unexpected. Our desert has been untouched by outsiders for many years.”
He Feng, however, said gravely, “Brother Jiang’s strength must be at least at the fifth rank. I wonder

who your enemy is that could make even a master like you flee?”
Wu Yunda had just thought of this question and was about to ask when He Feng spoke first,

so he listened intently.
Jiang Ze smiled bitterly, “The enemy I’m dealing with is a fierce and brutal

barbarian . Barbarians can directly absorb the energy of obsidian to increase their own qi. Once they reach their full potential, our continent

will suffer a devastating blow. Not only could I not defeat that barbarian, but I almost lost my life to just one of his subordinates

.”
Ji Na was hearing Jiang Ze recount the details of his serious injuries for the first time, and her pretty face was filled with shock. Wu

Yunda, He Feng, and the other mountain warriors also looked extremely shocked.
At this moment, the aged voice of Elder Erxian of the Blue-Eyed Clan came: "I wonder if the obsidian you mentioned, Jiang Ze,

is a black, smooth, and reflective hard stone?"
Jiang Ze was taken aback: "Yes, I wonder if Elder Erxian has any questions?"
At this moment, the other two elders of the Mountain Clan exchanged glances and took a deep breath. One of them said with

a slightly trembling voice: "A black stone that can absorb energy, could it be a demon stone?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
Jiang Ze was stunned for a moment. "Everyone..."
Elder Erxian's expression was solemn. He summoned a blue-eyed tribesman and said, "Go and

fetch the small black box that's on the table in my room."
Jiang Ze couldn't help but ask, "Elder Erxian, what is this Demon Stone you're talking about?"
A hint of fear flickered in Gina's beautiful eyes. "The Demon Stone is

a black stone that several demons have repeatedly sought in this desert over the past thousand years. Many of our tribes' ancestors

fought against these demons, but..."
Hearing this, Jiang Ze instantly understood. The demons they spoke of were undoubtedly the barbarians. To his

surprise, the barbarians had not only harmed various countries on the continent, but had even

ravaged this vast desert.
Soon, the blue-eyed tribesman returned, carrying a small, square black box.
Elder Erxian handed the box to Jiang Ze, who was standing by the campfire, and said, "Take a look. Is this

the obsidian you mentioned?"
Jiang Ze opened it, glanced at it, and said, "That's right, this is obsidian,

a rare mineral indispensable to the barbarians."
The barbarians Jiang Ze spoke of were the demons passed down through their generations. Hearing this, everyone present felt a sinking feeling

in their hearts .
Elder Erxian and the other two elders sighed deeply, "The demon has finally reappeared.

The desert, which has been peaceful for a hundred years, is about to be thrown into chaos again."
Wu Yunda and He Feng had been deep in thought. The former looked at Jiang Ze and suddenly said, "Brother Jiang,

when you return to the mainland, will you try to deal with that barbarian again?"
Jiang Ze nodded, "That's right, I will do everything I can to eliminate him. However, my chances of success

are slim ."
Wu Yunda paused and then suddenly said, "When Brother Jiang returns, you can choose a hundred warriors from me to go

with , which will increase your chances of success."
He Feng also spoke up, "Our Gaoshan tribe will also select a hundred of our most elite warriors to help Brother Jiang fight

the demon. In addition, if Brother Jiang agrees, I hope to cross the desert with you and

see ."
Jiang Ze was taken aback and said, "How can that be? They are the best warriors in your tribe. If they leave with

me like this, your fighting strength will drop significantly."
"The thing is..."
After the elders explained, Jiang Ze finally understood the situation.
"The conclusion is that if the demon exists in this world as long as it exists, it will one day come here and harm

our people. Therefore, having you lead our tribe's bravest warriors is the best choice."
"Not only that, in the coming days, we will spread this

message , and more and more warriors will join this expedition."
"We hope that on this journey, Brother Jiang, you will rid the world of this scourge."
...
Jina arrived at Jiang Ze's tent. Jiang Ze, who was sitting at the table carefully studying obsidian, asked curiously, "

Weren't you with He Feng?"
Wearing a thin, form-fitting satin dress, Ji Na sat down beside him and kissed him, saying, "

After He Feng found out that you were the one who made Lone Wolf return empty-handed today, he insisted on not letting me serve him in bed. He said that even if he wanted me to share his bed, it would have to be a fair

exchange with you."
Jiang Ze was taken aback. "A fair exchange? What do you mean?"
Ji Na chuckled and said, "It means that when He Feng wants me to share his bed, he will have his wife serve you.

He didn't bring his wife with him, so naturally he won't let me serve him."
Even after being here for some time, Jiang Ze still found the customs of the desert tribes quite difficult to accept.

He shook his head and said, "I've had enough of you for a while. I don't want to have anything to do with other women."
Gina chuckled, "That's because you haven't seen what He Feng's wives look like. He has six wives, each

one just as beautiful as me, and each one is petite and charming. You'll definitely like them." Jiang
Ze, however, was thinking of Yu Ya Yuan, far away in the desert. Even with Gina's charm, she couldn't compare to his captivating fiancée. 　　He remembered that moonlit night when they fell in love, the first time Yu Ya Yuan danced before him. That moving scene was unmatched, even by the exotic dances of the desert's various tribes. 　　Yu Ya Yuan's bright, clear eyes, like sparkling gems in the night, shone brilliantly, unforgettable . He wondered how she had been all this time. 　　"What are you thinking about?" Gina's delicate body embraced him, her breath warm against his ear. 　　Jiang Ze smiled slightly: "It's nothing." 　　Ji Na pouted: "A year ago, the night you drove away the Yellow Sand Bandits, you were sitting here, staring blankly at this Demon Stone. Now you're sitting here again, staring blankly, and tomorrow you're preparing to cross the sand sea. To be honest, you are..."

"Weren't you thinking about your wife?"
Jiang Ze sighed slightly. "You really can't hide anything from you. Yes, I was thinking about my fiancée. I

wonder she's married someone else."
Ji Na's eyes darted to his increasingly handsome face. "It's alright. Even if your wife is with another man,

Ji Na will still love you."
Jiang Ze didn't want to think about this question and gave a bitter smile. "It's late, let's sleep. Tomorrow we'll

start crossing the desert back to the mainland, so we need to be well-rested."
"I know, you just want me to avoid making love with you tonight, let's sleep."
The next day, early morning.
Looking at the two thousand desert warriors before him, all at the second or third tier of strength, Jiang Ze felt a surge of pride

. Even with only two thousand men, his strength was enough to contend with the Grand Marshal's army of fifty thousand.
The tension he felt last night because of Yu Ya Yuan had vanished, replaced by a surging fighting spirit.
After a year of arduous training, his "Qi" had progressed rapidly, reaching

the mature stage of the sixth rank. His strength was now twice as great as when he first entered the sixth rank.
A month ago, he used this strength to wipe out the entire Yellow Sand Bandit gang. Lone Wolf died at his hands, causing

all the tribes in the desert to cheer with immense joy, no longer needing to worry about the elusive Yellow Sand Bandits.
During this time, Jiang Ze had established extremely high prestige in this desert, and warriors from various tribes

carried out his orders without the slightest hesitation.
River Wind came to his side.
Jiang Ze nodded to him and said, "I'm counting on you for the journey, He Feng."
He Feng, who was half a head shorter than Jiang Ze, smiled and said, "What are you saying? I've long wanted to

go out into the world, but my father has always refused. It's a rare opportunity to come out with you, Jiang Ze, I couldn't be happier."
Jiang Ze chuckled and said, "You, if you want to go out, you don't need to bring your two wives along, do you?"
He Feng shook his head and said, "They begged me to bring them. Since they both want to, I can't stop them.

You brought Gina along too, but it's good this way, having women along the way will make it less boring."
At this moment, a blue-eyed tribesman came over: "My lord, the supplies are all prepared, we can

set off ."
Jiang Ze nodded: "Good, let's go!"
Along the way, they traveled in a grand procession.
Originally, they thought that with a group of experienced desert warriors leading the way and plenty of food, water, and other supplies,

they would be able to get out of this desert quickly. Who knew that the sand wolves that appeared from time to time, as well as the powerful tornadoes, would

seriously slow down the entire group's speed.
It took Jiang Ze and his group a full half-month to finally emerge from this vast sea of sand.
Looking at the familiar mountains and forests in the distance, Jiang Ze was filled with immense excitement.
Everyone except Jiang Ze was seeing mountains and forests for the first time, and they were all stunned and

amazed.
That night, Jiang Ze ordered them to set up camp and rest, continuing their journey the next day.
Everyone was exhausted, including Ji Na, whose "Qi" had reached the fourth level; unusually, she didn't

pester Jiang Ze and went to rest early. Jiang Ze, of course, wasn't as relaxed as her. The surrounding environment was completely

unfamiliar , and it was certain they weren't in the capital. He needed to find out which country this region belonged to as soon as possible

so he could return to the Empire quickly.
The next day, Jiang Ze's group traveled dozens of miles through the forest and crossed a vast plain before finally

seeing signs of human habitation.
It was a group of ordinary people mining; judging from their clothing, they were not far removed from those in the Empire.
From afar, the crowd saw Jiang Ze's army of several thousand men approaching with overwhelming force, and

they scattered like birds and beasts. By the time Jiang Ze arrived, not a single person had left.
Ji Na and the others were stunned.
He Feng stared blankly at himself, then at the large army behind him, and asked in confusion, "Why are they afraid

of ?"
"Maybe it's because we outnumber them and our imposing presence frightened them."
Ji Na exclaimed, "What should we do then?"
Jiang Ze said, "It's alright, let's keep going. Someone will definitely come to question us later."
Soon, the two-thousand-man army arrived outside a large city.
The thick city walls, dozens of feet high, were so imposing that everyone felt breathless. Ji Na and the others were already

dumbfounded; their expressions at that moment were exactly like those of a bunch of country bumpkins.
The soldiers inside the city were rapidly assembling, and Jiang Ze, quite patiently, gestured for everyone

to , waiting quietly.
On a black steed, a young man in brocade robes with a resolute face,

escorted by , arrived outside the city. The two sides exchanged glances.
"It's...it's Commander Jiang Ze!"
"You are...Prince Ernan? Is this the Crescent Moon Kingdom?"
The newcomer was none other than Prince Ernan of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, who had been captured alive by Jiang Ze but then released.
Now, dressed in brocade robes and riding a warhorse, he

exuded .
Upon hearing his words, Ernan knew that Jiang Ze hadn't known this was the border of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. He was taken aback and said,

"I didn't expect to meet Commander Jiang Ze here. But didn't Commander Jiang Ze disappear a year ago?

Why have you suddenly appeared here? Moreover, all the countries on the continent are trying to arrest you. How did you manage to come

here safely?"
"Arrest me?" Jiang Ze frowned. "What is this matter, Prince Ernan?"
Ernan sighed and said, "This is a long story. Commander Jiang Ze, why don't you come into my city?

Your subordinates can come in as well. I believe that I am the only one on the continent who believes in your innocence."
In an instant, Jiang Ze knew that something terrible had happened to him, and he could only

nod.
Inside the city lord's mansion, when Ernan told Jiang Ze everything, the latter's eyes revealed murderous intent.
Ernan understood him perfectly: "The Grand Marshal's actions were extremely ruthless. The Grand Marshal's support played a significant role in

the Emperor , and the Emperor has always trusted him implicitly. However, recently the Grand Marshal's achievements have become too great

, and some of his methods have been too violent, which is why the Emperor has had to curb his influence. But regardless, the Grand Marshal is the Emperor."

"I've always trusted you, and that has never changed."
He glanced at Jiang Ze's cold face, paused, and continued, "It's said that the Imperial Head of State originally ordered that you be killed

on sight . However, due to

the pleas of Yu Ya Yuan, a renowned talented woman on the continent, as well as the Head of State's son and the Grand Secretary Tai Chen, the Head of State relented and decided not to kill you, but instead to take you to the capital for investigation.

But in my opinion, the Grand Marshal's methods are more than that. You'll definitely die in vain if you go. Not only the Imperial Head of State, but

also the heads of state and monarchs of other countries on the continent are terrified of the barbarians."
Jiang Ze glanced at him: "Why do you believe I'm innocent?"
Er Nan smiled faintly: "From the very beginning, I knew that the Grand Marshal was a barbarian. Do you know

why didn't come to the palace, but came to this city in person?"
Jiang Ze shook his head at first, but quickly replied... Shen Lai: "You're in charge of mining obsidian here?"
Er Nan nodded: "That's right. I know the reason why the barbarian Grand Marshal plotted to start a war with our country—it's because of

this. So, all the obsidian I've mined lately has been melted down, ensuring he

gets nothing."
He looked at Jiang Ze and said sincerely, "Brother Jiang Ze,

I've always remembered how you spared my life over a year ago and even released me. Now, no country on the continent doesn't want to take your

life , and even with thousands of people protecting you, you could easily lose it. I, Er Nan, am a grateful person.

Brother Jiang Ze has done me a great favor, and if you have any requests, as long as I can fulfill them, I will not refuse."
Jiang Ze felt a surge of emotion. He could tell from Er Nan's sincerity that Er Nan's words brought a touch of warmth to his angry and

chilling heart.
Jiang Ze sighed and said, "Given the current situation, I'm afraid I can't return to the Empire openly.

I have a request: could my men temporarily stay within His Highness's territory? Their lodging is a significant problem before I

clash ."
Ernan waved his hand dismissively, "If I can't even handle this small matter for Brother Jiang Ze, how can I face him

? Furthermore, tonight I'd like to introduce you to someone who can allow you to enter the Empire openly

without anyone discovering your true identity."
Jiang Ze was surprised but thanked him anyway.
Back home, Jiang Ze recounted the situation to Ji Na, He Feng, and the others. They all hated the Grand Marshal

with a vengeance .
Ernan acted swiftly; he resolved the lodging issue for Jiang Ze's two thousand men within an hour, prompting Jiang

Ze to marvel at the immense power of a prince.
Soon, that evening, Jiang Ze went to the City Lord's Mansion and met the person Ernan wanted to introduce him to.
The man was an elderly man, around seventy years old, with a wrinkled face and a hunched back, looking quite ordinary.
As Jiang Ze wondered, the old man's eyes drifted towards him.
They were strange eyes; at first glance, they seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection,

they appeared to be filled with magic, irresistibly drawing one's attention.
Jiang Ze shuddered, snapping back to reality.
Impressive…
The old man smiled slightly: “So young, yet not far from the seventh rank, truly remarkable.”
Er Nan, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. The seventh rank…
He quickly coughed to cover his astonishment, saying, “Brother Jiang Ze, this

is a wizard who has just returned to the country, one of the few remaining wizards on the continent.” "
It's actually a mysterious wizard from the continent!" Jiang Ze dared not be negligent and quickly bowed, "Master Wizard."
"Hehe, you can just call me Elder Yun." Elder Yun stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "I already knew about your affairs

a year ago, and I've been waiting for your arrival."
Jiang Ze was stunned. He knew a year ago? How could that be? But he quickly realized that Elder Yun was a wizard,

a mysterious and unpredictable wizard. Divination was his forte, and he suddenly understood.
"The Grand Marshal is the seed of evil, and now this seed has sprouted. If it is not stopped soon, the continent

will once again be plunged into bloodshed. I have calculated that the most likely person to be able to oppose him in the future is you."

Elder Yun sighed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze showed no joy. Instead, he said with a headache, "Elder Yun knows that a year ago I attempted to eliminate

the Grand Marshal, but not only did I suffer a crushing defeat, I almost lost my life to a bald, burly man under the Grand Marshal's command. Alas, the Grand Marshal

didn't lift a finger, and I was utterly defeated and forced to flee."
Elder Yun smiled and said, "That bald, burly man is of the same clan as the Grand Marshal, so his strength is naturally extraordinary. However, he

cannot openly appear beside the Grand Marshal. With your current strength, once you break through, it

's not impossible for you to deal with him. Also, another reason I want to see you tonight is this..."
He suddenly handed over a rectangular, flat box. Jiang Ze took it with a puzzled look, opened it, and his eyes

immediately lit up.
"This human skin mask is crafted from very special materials. Wearing it will transform you into

a different person. This is your treasure for infiltrating the capital; don't lose it."
Even without him saying anything, Jiang Ze carefully put it away. At the same time, he felt a surge of excitement. With it, he

could enter the capital. He hadn't seen Yu Ya Yuan for a year, and he had so much to say to her.
"Thank you, Elder Yun!"
"You're welcome. Anyway, it was specially prepared for you."
After Elder Yun left, Jiang Ze suddenly asked Er Nan about Yu Ya Yuan, feeling a little embarrassed.
Er Nan answered him awkwardly, "Well... I heard that the Empire's great talent, Yu Ya Yuan, has already

married Ji Cheng, the son of the Grand Minister Tai Chen and the new Empire's ruler. Uh, well..."
Jiang Ze's head suddenly went blank. It felt as if a sledgehammer had struck his heart, his scalp tingling and

his limbs turning cold.
His beloved fiancée, whom he had been in love with for so long, had already married. And the person she married was

Ji Cheng, whom he had always considered a brother.
"When did this happen..." As he said this, Jiang Ze felt his head still ringing.
Ernan looked at him sympathetically: "It happened about two months ago. It is said that the Grand Marshal wanted to

possess the famous talented woman of this continent, but Ji Cheng blocked him time and time again, so the Grand Marshal failed to succeed."
Jiang Ze sat there blankly, his mind completely blank.
Jiang Ze walked back like a zombie, still

reeling from the sudden blow.
His relationship with Yu Ya Yuan had always been very deep, and they had even decided to marry a year later.

However , his complete silence for the past year had brought their relationship to an end.
He truly didn't know how to handle his relationship with Yu Ya Yuan and Ji Cheng.
A year of anticipation and waiting had culminated in such devastating news.
He took a deep breath and decided that after tonight, he would lead several of his most elite desert warriors

to the capital the next day.
