Chapter 179: Divergent Paths

weapon, he naturally wasn't afraid of being struck. But when he was repeatedly slashed by Chang'e's attacks, he felt pain for the first time and almost split apart!It suddenly retracted its forked to...Zhuang Chengqian, with power far exceeding Song Wanxi's, easily suppressed her demonic state. This was a chasm of realms, where his vision, surpassing Jiang Wang by a significant margin, effortlessly navigated the situation like a master butcher dissecting an ox, smooth and natural.

Now that the threat has been neutralized, Jiang Wang naturally wanted to regain control of her physical body first.

“That’s it!” he said.

But inside the Heavenly Palace, Zhuang Chengqian took a large step forward, pressing toward Jiang Wang: "What's over Where is it"

At this time, the physical body was controlled by Zhuang Chengqian. Even though Tongtian Palace was Jiang Wang's foundation, the suppression against Zhuang Chengqian had been greatly weakened at this moment.

Zhang Chengqian took a step forward, and Jiang Wang was forced to retreat several steps.

"Don't forget, you made the oath of the Dao heart!" Jiang Wang was both surprised and angry.

“I admire everything about you, even your naiveté!” Zhuang Chengqian laughed. “As for the Dao Heart Vow, I have two hundred and thirty-one ways to break it. Would you like me to teach you”

He never intended to keep his promise.

The so-called defeat of Song Wanxi was just a lie, merely to make Jiang Wang temporarily give up resistance.

With just one hand, it would be impossible to defeat Song Wanxi. Otherwise, Jiang Wang wouldn't have been able to keep this a secret.

But at that moment of life and death, he was still unwilling to honor his promise. Instead, he used the common danger to deceive Jiang Wang.

Please note that the original input contained only a closing paragraph tag. I have simply returned that tag in your requested format.

For him, an alliance was nothing but a piece of paper, and a promise just a word. Unbreakable oaths were only somewhat binding. But in reality, for true geniuses, such oaths probably didn't exist at all.

Regardless of Daoist oaths, demonic heart oaths, or blood sacrifice contracts, they are essentially just evolutions of a Dao technique. Whether through Dao heart or bloodline, an unbreakable bond is established. But any Dao technique can be broken.

By now, with the evolution of esoteric systems, there are countless ways to deceive the Dao heart.

That's also why nowadays, major transcendent forces use methods to control their disciples and rarely rely on pure oaths.

Zhuang Chengqian pressed closer, to be honest, he was eager to see if Jiang Wang could still bring him any surprises.

Only those who have a strong belief in victory and confidence in themselves will have such expectations.

Of course, it is Zhuang Chengqian.

Although he didn't believe that Jiang Wang, in his current state, could accomplish anything.

He took step by step closer, Jiang Wang retreated step by step, soon there was nowhere to escape.

"If you only choose to retreat at the last moment, I will be very disappointed in you." Zhuang Chengqian said in a superior tone.

The moment these words left his mouth, a voice echoed in his ears.

A raspy, enraged voice—

"Let go of your filthy hands!"

A murderous aura hung heavy in the cavernous lair.

"Song Hengjiang!" Zhuang Chengqian, who controlled this body, turned back in astonishment.

An old man who couldn't possibly contain anger, with a fierce expression, stood at the entrance of the cave, his fists clenched, his demeanor menacing.

It was the master of the eighty-mile clear river!

Why did Song Hengjiang go back and forth

This is unreasonable.

Both Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui had already left. He had seen everything there was to see and said everything there was to say, he had no reason to come back.

Zhuang Chengqian's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the problem.

Here's the translation:

Before Jiang Wang first walked into this crypt, because his mind was unsettled, he took slow steps and even bumped into a blood-stained stone coffin beside him. At the time, it didn't seem to have any effect, but now that I think about it, that bump was definitely problematic!

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

"What did you do to the blood-patterned coffin on that mountain" Zhuang Chengqian asked Jiang Wang inside Tongtian Palace.

"I just want to remind Song Hengjiang that someone knows his secret."

Jiang Wang responded in a deep voice, but then he ignored everything and directly escaped with his soul, leaving Tongtian Palace. This departure was unlike any previous brief absences; this time, he took all of his soul power, almost as if he had completely abandoned this fundamental place!

Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at the Enchanting Star Python.

He left the Tongtian Palace to Zhuang Chengqian, which meant leaving Song Hengjiang entirely in Zhuang Chengqian's hands. He himself retreated into the First Inner Palace.

Faced with Zhuang Chengqian's advance, he retreated step by step. It wasn't a retreat, but a delay tactic.

His battle with Zhuang Chengqian immediately escalated into a white-hot conflict, not because of Zhuang Chengqian's eagerness. In fact, throughout the entire process, it was he who accelerated the pace.

Because he was in a hurry!

Because he knew Song Hengjiang would soon return!

To prepare for a battle against the imaginary Jiang Yan, he made many preparations. Shenhun Flame Sparrow, Lingkong Hall, Changxiangsi Sword Spirit, Hongzhuang Mirror... Due to his insufficient cultivation, the preparations were not perfect. So he always behaved very indulgently towards "Jiang Yan." Many times it seemed like he had forgotten about the existence of this evil guest in Tongtian Palace.

But in reality, towards Jiang Yan who had always been trying to influence his will, he never had any tolerance or trust. He endured only because he lacked the confidence to do otherwise.

On that rainy night outside Xin'an City, when his inner demons were born, he realized the time for the final battle had arrived.

In his earliest plan, he aimed to crush Jiang Yan in the shortest amount of time and then escape. If these measures failed, it would mean he was not at all a match for "Jiang Yan" – so find a rival for "Jiang Yan"!

Even if Jiang Yan killed him and successfully possessed him, Song Hengjiang would still be able to kill Jiang Yan.

Even after the collapse of the Heavenly Palace, an accomplished Inner Mansion cultivator could survive within their Inner Mansion with their soul intact.

As long as his physical body remains intact, there is still a chance to find a way to repair the Heavenly Palace—provided that he can regain control of his body before Song Hengjiang crushes Jiang Yan's soul and destroys this body, and persuade Song Hengjiang to stop.

This is undoubtedly very difficult, and one could even say the chances of success are extremely slim. But it's better than being silently crushed by Jiang Yan without a sound. It's a risk taken out of necessity.

It's always better to have a choice than no choice at all.

All the changes within Tongtian Palace happened in an instant.

"Zhuang Chengqian" didn't even have time to track Jiang Wang's soul origin, he had already controlled his body to let go of Song Wanxi and evacuate the stone platform.

Because Song Hengjiang's fist is coming!

This Qingjiang Shuijun punched through space and appeared beside Song Wanxi, who had her eyes slightly closed, taking the spot that 'Zhuang Chengqian' had occupied before.

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

Glancing at Song Wanxi, he saw that she hadn't suffered any fatal injuries. He then turned back and glared coldly at 'Zhuang Chengqian': "I give you ten breaths to explain everything."

This person in front of me gives me a very complex feeling.

The opponent dodged his punch, indeed intending to control his power, lest he harm Song Wanxi. This also demonstrated the opponent's extremely high level of skill. However, the intensity of the person's aura was absolutely impossible to exceed that of someone outside the building.

Mingming's physical body was very young, not because of cultivation that had made him halt at a youthful state, but the kind of youthfulness that came with being young. However, the depth of his eyes held a kind of world-weariness, as if he had lived for many, many years. That was definitely not the look in the eyes of a young man!

Moreover... there was a strange sense of familiarity about this unfamiliar young man, which he couldn't explain.

This is also the reason he gives the other party a chance to speak.

Of course, all of this assumes that Song Wanxi was not truly harmed.

This is a placeholder for some text.

'Zhuang Chengqian' was very clear that he was no match for Song Hengjiang.

Song Wanxi wielded strength without intellect, enabling her to overcome the strong with the weak. Song Hengjiang, however, was a true powerhouse, once nearing the threshold of enlightenment. He wasn't someone who could simply cross that boundary based on his past achievements.
