The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

It wasn't until his one night of bliss with Nongyu, when he heard a heavenly melody and entered a state of enlightenment, perfectly merging with heaven and earth, that Jiang Chuan was able to dispel the shadow of Ru Shuang and transform all those things into his own inner strength.

He then naturally achieved the level of a grandmaster.

Once you reach the Grandmaster level, you'll need to find your way forward.

Only by finding one's own path can one achieve the status of a grandmaster.

By this point, Ru Shuang's experience was no longer sufficient, or rather, it was no longer applicable.

Because Ru Shuang herself is still exploring the path ahead, she has only stepped half a foot into the threshold of Grandmaster, and is still half a step away from becoming a true Grandmaster.

After practicing Bai Yifei's Cold Technique and feeling ice and fire flowing through his body, Jiang Chuan not only found the sensation to be very subtle, but also grasped a glimmer of opportunity for the future.

The opportunity was certainly not ice and fire.

Rather... it is yin and yang.

Ice and fire are mutually exclusive, like yin and yang, yet they can coexist perfectly.

Besides, his repeated dual cultivation practices are also another form of yin and yang.

All things carry yin and embrace yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these energies!

It is evident that even opposing things will eventually coexist peacefully.

Harmony and peace are the ultimate goals.

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and decided to continue down this path.

It doesn't matter if we don't reach the end.

At least for now, by cultivating both ice and fire techniques and allowing two completely different cultivation methods to circulate within his body, he has indeed felt an improvement in his strength.

If possible, Jiang Chuan wanted to continue cultivating, since experiencing both ice and fire was quite comfortable.

But not today.

Someone arranged to meet him today.

They left the city and headed straight for a lake outside the city.

Moonlight streamed down, and the reeds swayed gently in the evening breeze.

A small boat was moored on the shore of the lake. A man wearing a straw raincoat was fishing with a fishing rod. Beside him, in a bamboo basket, were a few fish of medium size. However, even though he hadn't come back empty-handed today, the man in the straw raincoat was not in a good mood.

His hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly, revealing that he was not at peace.

He certainly had reasons for his unsettled state.

A sudden change occurred in the Qin state.

Marquis Changxin, Lao Ai, and Marquis Wenxin, Lü Buwei, died for rebellion, while Lü Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister. The former had little to do with him, but the latter had a much greater impact.

The latter is the direct ruler of the net.

He has been in charge of the Luo Wang organization for many years, and it is unknown how many things he has made Luo Wang do.

He even went to South Korea, joined the Nightfall organization, and gradually became one of the Four Fiends of Nightfall, all at Lü Buwei's behest.

Although South Korea is weak, Ji Wuye is a rare talent, and Lü Buwei values ​​him highly...

The Nightfall organization, composed of many of Ji Wuye's former retainers, which helped him rise step by step to become the Great General of Han, is particularly noteworthy.

This organization looks like a rudimentary version of a net.

If we can gradually absorb them and turn them into our own, we might be able to further enhance the overall strength of the Net.

This was the real purpose of the Straw Raincoat Man's arrival in Korea. With the help of the Luo Net, he quickly rose to prominence in the Nightfall and even took the initiative to help Ji Wuye make connections, enabling the Nightfall and the Luo Net to cooperate.

This is all in preparation for Luo Wang's eventual takeover of Nightfall.

But before that day could arrive, bad news came from the Qin state.

Lü Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister by King Ying Zheng of Qin.

The net officially changed hands, falling into the hands of King Ying Zheng of Qin.

The first thing King Ying Zheng of Qin did after taking over the Luo Wang organization was to carry out a massive purge of it, showing an attitude that even if it meant completely destroying the organization, he would also eliminate all of Lü Buwei's cronies.

This display of force made the man in the straw raincoat in South Korea very uneasy.

But we can probably guess why King Ying Zheng of Qin would do this.

While a net is indeed a weapon, even a weapon cannot harm its master.

When Ying Zheng arrived in Xinzheng, Luo Wang had already made a move against him. The man in the straw raincoat played a very important role in this, and it was through his maneuvering that the assassination attempt on Ying Zheng by Luo Wang's top-ranking member, Ye Mu, was made possible.

The one thing the man in the straw raincoat hadn't expected was that the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) had failed.

Upon returning to Qin, Ying Zheng accomplished the feat of "trapped dragon ascends to heaven" and now controls the Luo Wang (a powerful military organization).

Ying Zheng's purge of Luo Wang was actually an act of revenge against Luo Wang.

In this situation, as a member of the Luo Wang organization, would he remain in the organization until Ying Zheng investigated the truth of that day and then sent members of the Luo Wang organization to eliminate him?

Or... should we look for another way out?

For the straw raincoat traveler, the latter was naturally the better option, and finding a way to make a living was not difficult.

Because apart from the net, he is still a man of the night.

Although Nightfall is not as powerful as Luo Wang, in the small territory of South Korea, even Luo Wang is inferior to Nightfall.

Chapter 185 The Net Draws Through the Night!

He sensed that the figure had come up behind him.

The man in the straw raincoat turned his head to look. Under the moonlight and in the night wind, the other man's white hair flew wildly, and his red robe looked somewhat ferocious. A solemn aura emanated from him.

Based on everything he knew, the man in the straw raincoat knew without a doubt that the Marquis in Blood Robes had fully recovered from his injuries during this period.

A Blood-Clad Marquis who has fully recovered from his injuries is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

It should be noted that the other party killed Ji Wuye even when his injuries had not yet healed.

At this moment, it will only become more terrifying.

Indeed, like Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, and others, the man in the raincoat also guessed that Bai Yifei killed Ji Wuye. In fact, he even investigated the matter and found that more than ten guards who went with Ji Wuye to arrest Wei Zhuang that day were all killed by Bai Yifei's guards, the White Armor Army, and their bodies were buried on the spot. This further confirmed his guess.

Bai Yifei had long harbored ulterior motives. When Ji Wuye was severely injured by the woman from Zilan Pavilion, leaving him with wounds, Bai Yifei saw an opportunity. Disregarding the fact that his own injuries had not yet healed, he brazenly attacked and killed Ji Wuye.

Then it replaced it.

Of course, even knowing the truth, the man in the straw raincoat had no intention of making it public. In the end, he was not interested in who controlled the Nightfall. After all, his mission was to lie in wait within the Nightfall and lay the groundwork for the Net to eventually take over the Nightfall.

On the contrary, he was very curious about the origin of the woman who had severely injured Ji Wuye.

He really hadn't expected that the owner of Zilan Pavilion, the beautiful Zi Nu, would possess such strength, severely injuring Ji Wuye and creating an opportunity for Bai Yifei.

Afterwards, the man in the straw raincoat pledged allegiance to Bai Yifei and prepared to continue to lie in wait under the cover of night.

However, the changes in the Qin state meant that he could no longer live in Bengbu.

That's why he sent a message today to Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei to come here.

Putting aside his inner fear of Bai Yifei, the man in the straw raincoat greeted the newcomer, "Greetings, General."

Jiang Chuan, using a high-pitched voice and mimicking Bai Yifei's tone, asked the man in the straw raincoat in a low voice, "Did you suddenly call me here for something?"

The man in the straw raincoat lowered his head, his eyes gleaming. He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "I have come to offer my loyalty to the Great General."

"Oh?" Jiang Chuan feigned surprise. "So you mean you weren't loyal to me before?"

After these words were spoken, a powerful aura surged from Jiang Chuan's body and immediately landed on the man in the straw raincoat.

Although the man in the straw raincoat came from the Luo Wang organization and was an intelligence dealer, he was not one of the top-tier members of the Luo Wang organization, and his strength was just so-so. After sensing the aura released by Jiang Chuan, he immediately felt an immense pressure.

The man in the straw raincoat quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare!"

"I was naturally subservient to the General before, but I have summoned the General here today to further demonstrate my loyalty to him. I am prepared to tell the General about my origins."

"What is your background?" Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on the man in the straw raincoat. In his mind, he recalled the many documents he had read in the General's Mansion, including records about the man in the straw raincoat.

"Your background is indeed very mysterious. We don't know where you came from, yet you were able to obtain a lot of intelligence that even Nightfall couldn't collect. Furthermore, you helped Nightfall establish contact with Qin's Luo Wang organization."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be related to the Qin State's Luowang (Net of Heaven)."

At this point, Jiang Chuan's gaze returned to the man in the straw raincoat.

The man in the straw raincoat felt a chill run down his spine. He did not choose to hide the truth, but instead told Jiang Chuan the truth: "General, you guessed correctly. I am indeed from the Luo Wang."

Jiang Chuan revealed a strange smile and said, "You come from the Qin Kingdom's Luo Wang organization. Now, you're taking the initiative to tell me your origins. Could it be that Luo Wang wants to cooperate with Nightfall again?"

The man in the straw raincoat shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

He said in a deep voice, "I have said that I have come to offer my loyalty to the General."

Jiang Chuan stared intently at the man in the straw raincoat for a long time before finally speaking: "Although the night covers the state of Han, it is still inferior to the Qin state's net when it comes to the rest of the world. I really want to know why you abandoned the net and instead completely embraced the night?"

The man in the straw raincoat gritted his teeth and said, "Since the general knows about the Net, he must also know about what has happened in Qin recently."

"You mean, the matter of Lü Buwei being dismissed as prime minister?" Jiang Chuan asked the man in the straw raincoat.

The man in the straw raincoat said, "Yes, Lü Buwei is the controller of the Net. Over the years, he has done many things with the help of the Net. Several months ago, our Nightfall and the Net cooperated to assist the Net's top assassin in assassinating someone. Now, I will not hide it from you, General. That person is the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng."

Jiang Chuan seemed stunned by the news. After listening, he remained silent for a long time before exclaiming, "This is truly unexpected."
