C40 – cing a Heavy Criminal in Advance


    Thetest announcement from the Federal Government was a lengthy document, spanning dozens of pages, as was customary. Yet, the message it conveyed was quite straightforward. The announcement detailed that due to a surge in crime rates and an increasing number of serious offenders, coupled with frequent prison escapes, the Federal Government had resolved to deport a batch of serious criminals to the Exile two years ahead of schedule—in just two months’ time.


    ?Typically, such announcements would barely register with the public, since serious criminals were a group far removed from the lives of ordinary citizens. But this time was different because Jiang Que was on the Exile.


    “What’s happening? To cut costs, the Federation used to send a batch of criminals to the Exile every ten years.”


    “The Exile has been around for over two thousand years, and this protocol has never changed. Why are they moving it up by two years now?”


    “My guess is that this has something to do with Jiang Que. The supposed rise in crime and the swelling numbers of serious criminals are just fabrications.”


    “Remember, over a hundred years ago, after our defeat at the hands of other races and the annihtion of our three ace fleets, the Federation shifted its strategy from offense to defense. That’s when the crime rate began its steady climb.”


    “The idea of frequent prison escapes is absurd. There haven’t been any significant serious criminals in recent years. And what harm could they do if they did escape?”


    “So, this has to be connected to Jiang Que.”


    The Federation’s announcement sent shockwaves through the popce.


    “Why the sudden rush to send criminals to the Exile? What is the Federation up to?”


    “What else but to infiltrate Jiang Que’s circle? They’re obviously aiming to extract the cultivation method from him as swiftly as possible, or even to seize direct control over him.”


    “How could the Federation make such a critical decision without disclosure? They bypassed a public vote and just went ahead with it.”


    “Damn it! This implies there are Federation spies among the criminals. And worse, they haven’t had their memories wiped. This is a tant vition of the Human Federation’sws regarding the Exile.”


    “But what’s truly rming is the potential for the Federation to incur devastating losses as a result of this action.”


    “Jiang Que is incredibly intelligent, and he possesses the personality of a true strategist.”


    “If he uncovers the truth, I fear that with his cunning nature, he might craft a cultivation method designed to self-destruct after a certain period, then intentionally leak it for us to learn.”


    “Curse the Human Federation government! Instead of rallying scientists and prodigies to build upon Jiang Que’s work, they’re recklessly sending undercover agents to infiltrate his circle.”


    “We must protest!”


    The public’s outrage intensified by the day.


    The Federation’s decision to deploy undercover agents to gain ess to Jiang Que’s newly developed cultivation method was, ostensibly, in the best interest of the Human Race.


    Yet for many, the gamble seemed far too perilous.


    Without absolute necessity or a foolproof n, such a significant risk was deemed uneptable.


    Adding fuel to the fire was the government’s failure to conduct a public referendum before making such a critical decision, a move that tantly contradicted their own establishedws.


    But soon, the people’s fervor turned to disillusionment.


    “What’s the point of protesting? These may be the facts, but where’s the proof?”


    “The Federation’s official statement only mentioned sending a group of serious offenders to the Exile two years ahead of schedule. Everything else is mere spection.”


    “Without evidence, our protests are futile.”


    “Besides, the Federation isn’t foolish enough to overlook these risks. They wouldn’t dare execute such a significant n without some level of confidence.”


    “If their decision-making was truly hasty, they wouldn’t schedule the transportation of criminals two months out—they’d act sooner.”


    “It’s highly likely there are undisclosed factors at y, such as the current war dynamics with all other races and the power struggles among various factions.”


    “We, themon folk, can only watch and wait. Our only hope is that everything proceeds without a hitch, allowing us to ess Jiang Que’s cultivation method sooner.”


    “Protesting now could only jeopardize any strategicyout the Federation might have. If we’re to voice our dissent, it should be in response to a development on Jiang Que’s end. For now, it’s premature.”


    ?The public’s outrage began to subside, guided by thementary and analysis of certain individuals. As these discussions suggested, if all went well, the entire Human Race could gain early ess to the cultivation method created by Jiang Que—a truly momentous benefit.


    Protesting now proved futile, as theycked evidence and were powerless to halt the ns of the Human Federation. Should the Federation’s n be linked to the conflict between the Human Race and all other races, it could spell catastrophe.


    ?While the general popce sensed something amiss, no one could pinpoint the conspiracy behind the scheme to transport convicts. The n entangled various parties: the federal government, its opposition, elite tycoons, other races, and more.


    Exile was on the brink of a disaster that no one could foresee, nor could anyone predict the eventual oue of this impending cmity.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Que was immersed in the study of Sword Intent. This force was both swift and unbreakable, embodying the unity of truth and illusion. Jiang Que’s extraordinary talent was evident; he had begun to profoundly grasp the Sword Intent using merely a tree branch.


    Dayster, the High Priest delivered an iron sword, forged thousands of times, to aid Jiang Que’s understanding of Sword Intent.


    As time swiftly passed, Jiang Que spent his days aiding the Four Great Armies with ferocious beasts they couldn’t handle themselves, and delving deeper into the forest to contemte Sword Intent. After about a month, although he hadn’t fully mastered the essence of the Sword Dao, he had managed to create a sword technique that met his expectations. With that, he concluded his period of reflection on Sword Intent.


    ?Jiang Que returned to the valley. “Patriarch, I was just preparing to send for you,” the High Priest greeted him upon receiving the news.


    “Have the Four Great Armies run into any trouble?” inquired Jiang Que.


    With the continuous expansion of the Four Great Armies, increasingly powerful ferocious beasts emerged. Yet, Jiang Que harbored no resentment; expanding his sphere of influence was of paramount importance.


    Jiang Que’s domain now spanned over seventy thousand square kilometers, and his talent bonus had surged to 70%.


    The most significant development was that Jiang Que’s sphere of influence was expanding at a rate of over two thousand square kilometers each day, doubling the speed from when the expansion first began, with potential for further eleration.


    Despite the number of soldiers in the Four Great Armies remaining constant, their average strength was steadily increasing. As a result, the pace at which Jiang Que’s sphere of influence grew was naturally elerating.


    ?Additionally, the Four Great Armies had tamed many intelligent ferocious beasts along their path. These creatures served as mounts and yed a crucial role in the rapid expansion of their territory.


    In light of these advantageous conditions, Jiang Que was more than willing to assist the Four Great Armies by tackling the ferocious beasts that were beyond their capability to handle. Moreover, these encounters with the beasts were enhancing Jiang Que’s practicalbat experience.


    ?Contrary to expectations, the High Priest shook his head and revealed, “The trouble isn’t with the Four Great Armies; it’s Pann Qiu who’s facing difficulties. Her team has stumbled upon an unusual Spirit Ore deposit in a mountain range located fifty kilometers to the east.”


    ?This news excited Jiang Que, who thought to himself, “A Spirit Ore deposit is quite a find.” Should the Spirit Ore possess remarkable qualities, then once Jiang Que developed the Artifact Refining Technique, he would be able to produce a vast quantity of Spirit Artifact Magic Treasures en masse.
