Chapter 2534: Chapter 114: I Am Here, Where Are You?_3
There was no need for any other movement; even her brows, her eyes, the tips of her hair carried their own scenery.
"I’ll go meet him again."
As for that someone’s panicked escape earlier in the Meet Me Building, she was of course dissatisfied. The present Jiang Wang had stronger strength, higher status, and far greater influence... and was all the more challenging.
The maid stepped aside and pulled the door open, very sensible, saying not a word.
Ye Laner thus walked out.
But the moment she crossed the threshold, she already stopped.
Because someone was standing outside the door.
A woman.
A light veil covered her face, yet it left exposed those soul-hooking, spirit-seizing eyes.
Her red lips were a single stroke, so vivid that their brightness seeped faintly through the thin gauze, swaying the heart so.
Just the meeting of those two pairs of beautiful eyes felt like jadeite and white jade, amber and bright pearls reflecting one another, beauty beyond measure.
"At this particular moment, don’t go disturb him." The woman standing outside the door said.
Her voice was extremely languid, like Haitang just waking from a spring sleep.
Rather than a warning, it sounded more like a plea for mercy.
Standing inside the door, Ye Laner still wore an almost perfect smile, and let out an almost perfect voice: "How can little sister say that? I’m going to help him, not to disturb him."
Every syllable of her speech, every expression she showed, had been trained countless times, and thus could approach such perfection.
So beautiful that in Chu Territory, where beauties were as numerous as clouds, she was acclaimed number one.
"Just listen to me, elder sister." The woman outside the door stepped in, turned her eyes for a glance, and waited until that maid silently withdrew before she reached back and closed the door.
"Right now, he’s very dangerous..."

Apart from life and death there is no great matter, yet those who cherish life still must gamble with life and death.
Jiang Wang’s open letter stirred the world to suppress and exterminate the Church of Lifeless. The greatest impact it brought was to make the whole world realize the influence of this Unparalleled Genius.
An influence unmatched among the younger generation!
From the moment he seized first place at the Yellow River Gathering, he had been the focal figure of the world’s gaze.
After that, in the battle of Star Moon Plain, Qi Tianjiao defeated Jing Tianjiao; in the Qi Xia campaign he suppressed Saint Water in a single battle and was enfeoffed as a Marquis at once.
His renown had already reached a certain limit—
What honor could cause a greater sensation than a twenty-one-year-old Hegemony Country Marquis, enfeoffed with real military merit?
What story could move people more than that of a young man with boundless prospects, risking his life to save countless commoners from calamity?
Until this open letter was published...
The world responded; the entire present world surged up in a great wave to wipe out the Cults.
How could it be only the Church of Lifeless?
In just a few short days, the number of Cults destroyed across the world was already beyond counting!
People scrutinized and warily watched every preacher with suspicious behavior. Those off-path, shady, sinister Cults all tucked their tails between their legs; during this period, proselytizing was as hard as if they were on Qionglu Mountain—competing for faith in the hometown of the Gods of the Current World, with the Gods of the Current World themselves. How could they not be crushed together with the tiny Little Mao Gods behind them?
The vast majority of people could not see the great power struggle behind this, could not see the blazing grand momentum Jiang Wang had borrowed, could not see the endorsement of the Triple Punishment Palace.
They only saw that once Marquis Wu’an Jiang Wang’s open letter came out, it was as if a banner had been planted between heaven and earth; the Various Countries all responded in turn, and henceforth, wherever sunlight shone, there was no longer any place for the Church of Lifeless to stand!
What sort of prestige was this? What sort of influence?
And the powerful blow he triggered against the Cults saved how many people of the world from fire and water, and restored how many shattered lives.
People spared no praise, spared no songs in his honor. Some had already begun shouting the slogan of "the number one genius under heaven," even without adding any prefixes like Inner Mansion, Outer Building, or God Arrives.
Jiang Wang certainly did not dare accept it.
He knew he was far from possessing such strength, far from possessing such influence; it was only by a coincidence of chances that he had been pushed to the crest of the storm.
But this time, as he flew out from Linzi and went far to Yanyun Mountain, what he faced was indeed completely different from the past.
The whole world was filled with goodwill!
On this journey he flew straight, unimpeded.
Even if there were some checkpoints under martial law, he only needed to report his name; after a brief verification, he would be immediately released.
Moreover, people he knew and people he did not know kept gathering all information about the Church of Lifeless for him, helping him sketch Zhang Linchuan’s trail of movements. Those who encouraged him, supported him, wished to follow him.
Overnight, there were friends everywhere!
"To see Marquis Wu’an today—what fortune! Please, this way, let me clear a path for you!"
"Open the gate for Marquis Wu’an at once!"
"Greetings, Marquis Wu’an! I have here a proselytizing text of the Church of Lifeless; I hope it can aid you in striking down the Cults..."
"Please just proceed forward; I have already sent word ahead—there will be no fools without eyes in your way."
"You are the person I admire most in my life. I specially took the head of an Earth Fiend Envoy; please step upon this head as you pass. May this journey go smoothly, and may you be sure to behead those Church of Lifeless fiends!"
He did not seem to be going to a struggle where life and death fished for one another, but rather to be reviewing the great rivers and mountains of the Human World, with flowers and applause all along the way.
Yet the more it was like this, the more silent he became.
Speeding westward all the way, only the sword in his hand had never once relaxed.
When the Monarch and ministers of Zhuang Country falsely accused him of Communicating with Demons, when the Mirror world Platform publicly put a bounty on him and curses surged like a tide across the world—he told himself: I must recognize "me."
When he had, by luck, stirred up a flood and stood within the tide of the era, when the world revered him like a Deity, he also had to tell himself— I must recognize "me"!
