The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

After receiving the translation sample, Ji Chen carefully compared it with the original text, word by word.

Even without understanding the script, judging from the translated content, this old Liao man's level was far superior to Bayan's.

The old Liao people's translation is more in line with the original meaning, while Bayan's translation seems somewhat stiff and awkward.

With the old man's addition, his panel successfully included the [Quicksand Regretless Step].

[Currently learning: Qi and Blood Martial Arts - Quicksand Without Regret Step]

[Qi and Blood Martial Arts Techniques can enhance physical strength and strengthen Qi and blood.]

Skill Level: lv0 (Beginner)

[Calculating the rarity and difficulty of the Quicksand Regretless Step based on the human host's aptitude...]

[Calculation complete. Do you wish to consume 60 Dimensional Points to activate the cultivation acceleration function?]

"60 points for level 0, that's a bit too much. Sure enough, without the help of True Intent, the difficulty is still too high. This is only because my physical foundation is good, which reduces the learning threshold."

Ji Chen thought to himself.

He then turned his attention to reality, revealing a ruthless smile.

In the old man's eyes, it was Ji Chen who, after taking the sample and pondering for a while, suddenly gave him a cold smile.

Old Liao's heart skipped a beat, as if enveloped by boundless fear.

That's the beast-like aura that a strong person can unleash at will when the difference in physical abilities becomes too great.

Just as the king of beasts surveys his territory, when his wild nature is revealed, his subjects can only tremble in fear.

"He couldn't possibly have found out! Even my fake translations could be explained in the original text, with only slight ambiguity. Yes, these rioters are definitely bluffing me. If that guy who betrayed the great Liao class got away with it, then I'm even less likely to get into trouble."

The old man's mind raced, and he thought he understood everything.

So he only trembled slightly, a hint of fear in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless as he said:

"Sir, is my translation not satisfactory? I can go back and take a closer look."

The old man has lived for so many years, and he does have some acting skills after all; at least Ji Chen couldn't see any obvious flaws.

But he doesn't need any flaws or evidence; he just needs to know that this guy has a problem.

As a warlord, in a society without a legal system, his will is the ultimate law.

"Out of 213 words, only 187 of your translations are completely correct. Ha, the other errors are almost all on key points. You've done a great job!"

As Ji Chen spoke, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief.

They're all correct!

How is that possible?!

"As for Bayan, although his translation skills are not high, he only made eight mistakes. Don't say that your skills are not as good as his or that it was due to carelessness."

After saying that, Ji Chen sneered and kicked the old man away, then gave orders to his men:

"Throw it over to Zhang Shunwu. Call on everyone you can and see if you can get any useful information out of them. If not, send it to the cannon fodder camp."

The cannon fodder battalion, the first battalion newly established by Ji Chen.

The first two battalions will not have the same rights to the distribution of spoils, but will be provided with as much equipment and supplies as possible.

The purpose of the cannon fodder battalion in his case was to fill trenches, block arrows, and wear down the defenders by rolling logs and stones. During the siege, they were at the forefront as human shields, and during the retreat, they stayed at the rear as bait.

Moreover, Ji Chen specially set up a special team of cannon fodder.

Liao cannon fodder.

Although the massacre instigated by Wu Yinghuan destroyed the inner city, some barbarians did survive.

Ji Chen didn't spare these Liao people either, and sent them all to his cannon fodder camp.

During the Qing Dynasty, the political status of the Liao people, especially those with the bloodline of the Eighth Prince, was self-evident.

Even high-ranking officials of the imperial court, if their bloodline is not pure enough, must pay their respects to these barbarians.

In the future, when siege missions fall to him, Ji Chen can also unleash the power of an otherworldly version of the "Knocking Emperor".

Back to the present, the old man was stunned after being kicked, and then, realizing that his plan had been exposed, he completely gave up and went all out.

"You lowly ants! You rebellious traitors!"

The old man's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth as he roared.

"Give me the guts and end it all! Once His Majesty's army arrives, I will make you wish you were dead! This land of Jingchu will be utterly barren!"

Ji Chen was so annoyed by his noise that he took two steps forward and crippled his ability to speak. Then, under the man's blood-spitting gaze, he crushed his hand inch by inch!

Only after the old man had completely passed out did Ji Chen stop and say:

"Did you hear that! We're going to slaughter these beasts until not a blade of grass grows left. We're all going to die anyway, so killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus! Got it?"

After boosting morale once again, Ji Chen had made good use of the old Liao man and squeezed out all his value.

Next, without further ado, I'll switch to accelerated practice mode to learn the new technique.

When your feet get tired, go back to practicing the [Zhentian Wuji Palm] and [Qingyang Guyuan Stance] to review what you've learned and gain new insights.

In their leisure time, they would eat some tributes confiscated from the government and enjoy the taste of being a lowly servant.

Yes, 仌 is both an adjective and a verb.

But he was destined to have a restless life.

Five days later, the news of the fall of Changsha Prefecture exploded like a thunderclap. With this, the entire territory of Jingzhou fell into the hands of the White Sun Sect, and the final piece of the puzzle was finally complete.

The news spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar wherever it went.

In the imperial court, the faces of the officials were ashen, and the two emperors were terrified!

In the marketplace, ordinary people whisper among themselves, and the iceberg gradually melts!

A sense of impending doom is brewing beneath this glorious and prosperous era.

The Baiyang Rebellion has now reached its climax in its first phase.

Qingting then realized with alarm that this was no longer the insidious civil unrest of the past—

Rather, it is a truly colossal wave that can shake the very foundations of the nation!

Who could have imagined that at the height of this prosperous and peaceful era, beneath the surface of a seemingly tranquil world, such a world-shaking upheaval was hidden?

The changing sentiments of the people were irrelevant to Ji Chen, but he was indeed happy about the capture of Changsha Prefecture.

Ji Chen stared at the panel with an expression so intense it was almost contorted with excitement.

Ji Chen's face flushed, and he suppressed the urge to pull the flag, while vigorously kneading the maid's soft skin.

"Stop talking! Don't you dare stop!"

just now.

[Attributes: Strength 24, Constitution 24, Agility 22, Perception 14→18, Spirit 15→22, Energy 23]

As the information was gathered, Ji Chen gradually understood the reason.

"Is this the Heavenly Demon? The fall of Changsha Prefecture and the complete annexation of Jingzhou to the White Sun Sect signify that the worldline has shifted to a certain extent since my arrival, with the Heavenly Demon's intervention increasing dramatically, and then it's giving back?"

"However, the improvement of attributes is not instantaneous, but rather slow and powerful. Is it a process of absorption and feedback, or is it the spread and fermentation of events, where the more people's hearts are affected, the greater the feedback I receive?"

Although some inexplicable doubts still lingered in my mind, at this moment, an unprecedented sense of joy washed over my entire body like a tide.

Ji Chen simply abandoned those pointless thoughts; why bother getting to the bottom of things?

All he needs to know is that his fists are harder than yesterday's and his mind is clearer than ever before, and that's enough.
