When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 354 Mechanical God Appearance
In the sky, fierce winds howled, carrying a thick, bloody atmosphere and a murderous intent.

"Wow-wow-"

A sound like a baby crying came on the wind, and a huge eagle, carrying an aura familiar to Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang, chased after the train.

As they got closer, they could see that the giant eagle resembled both a bird and a fish, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. Its body was covered in scales, and it had a pair of spiral horns on its head that looked like bones.

This eagle-shaped beast was named "Gu Diao" by the Taiyi Academy and is a notorious ferocious beast in the world of mountains and seas.

On the back of the Gu Diao, pure energy lingered, highlighting its transcendence, but within that transcendence lay a chilling killing intent.

Bai Ze was extremely familiar with this pure energy, after all, he had already fought against two martial artists who cultivated pure energy, crippling one and killing the other.

Indeed, this is the Yun family's "Qingwei Heavenly Palace Manual".

"Yun Jingming, you've made another wrong decision." Mu Yaoguang didn't look at the Gu Diao or the figure on its back, only sending her indifferent voice to the man's ears.

Yun Jingming and his wife were supposed to be sent to the wasteland on January 1st to begin their twenty-year exile, but now Yun Jingming is here instead.

This can only mean one thing: Yun Jingming chose to flee in fear of punishment.

Furthermore, since Yun Jingming has escaped, the other one will certainly not be willing to be exiled.

A chilling aura gathered and condensed in the distance, causing ice walls to rise from the ground. On top of these ice walls, a dragon raised its head and roared, while a beautiful woman, as ghostly as a ghost, stood atop its head.

Lin Suying also arrived.

With the two of them flanking them from both sides, and the theologian locking onto Mu Yaoguang with his divine sense, Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang were cut off from all escape routes.

“Now, you have nowhere to escape,” the theologian said calmly.

If he were alone, Mu Yaoguang might have been able to escape with Bai Ze.

This number one genius of Dongxia is indeed amazing. He can fight against nine-star cultivators at the eight-star level. It is said that after fighting Mu Yaoguang, the Martial God Nasilu closed his door to visitors for many days, obviously because he was seriously injured.

Even if the theologian believed he could defeat Mu Yaoguang, he couldn't guarantee that Mu Yaoguang wouldn't be able to escape with Bai Ze.

But now, with the help of Yun Jingming and his wife, and with the Gu Diao and Jiaolong also present, the two will have nowhere to escape.

The theologians did not take immediate action because they were waiting for Yun Jingming and his wife to arrive.

"Personally getting involved to avenge your friend is truly a display of loyalty and righteousness, but you've forgotten that there are far too many dangers waiting for you outside of Dongxia."

As the theologian spoke, he landed on the newly closed roof of the car. A chilling killing intent, like an invisible blade, constantly hovered around Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang, threatening to pierce them at any moment.

Although the theologian always said that he had no grudge against Bai Ze and that killing Bai Ze was just a side effect, his killing intent was so firm that he had obviously planned to kill Bai Ze on the Wanyi Train.

While Bai Ze continued to investigate the true identities of the five people, the theologians were also quietly laying a trap, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate Bai Ze.

In Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang's eyes, the identity of the theologian was always questionable, and they even had someone they suspected long ago.

On the other side, the Gu Diao caught up with the train and ran parallel to it. Yun Jingming stared intently at Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang, his eyes faintly tinged with bloodlust. "Junior sister, it's time to pay the price for what you've done."

"You will all die today!"

As he spoke, Yun Jingming spread his aura, blocking any escape route, while also keeping a watchful eye on the nun beside Catherine, his divine sense secretly locking onto Catherine.

If the nun also intends to intervene, then Yun Jingming will directly confront Catherine and force her to retreat.

The same logic applies to Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang. It's one thing for Mu Yaoguang to be able to fight against Jiu Xing, but it's quite another for her to be able to protect Bai Ze while fighting against Jiu Xing.

Not to mention that Yun Jingming and his wife are also by their side now.

"White Pond."

Ekaterina raised her voice and said, "If you want to live now, I have one more condition: you must join the Ursus Federation."

“No thanks,” Bai Ze replied loudly. “I don’t like the strong liquor of Ursus; the tea of ​​Dongxia suits me much better.” “Oh?”

Ekaterina stood with her hands behind her back, her military uniform fluttering. "Then I'll see what other tricks you have up your sleeve, or whether, under these circumstances, the writer's pen can still continue to write your future?"

writer······
The theologian frowned.

"It seems we do have a trump card."

Bai Ze said slowly, "In the classical drama of Shinra, there is a performance technique where, when the plot gets stuck and the predicament is difficult to resolve, a powerful god will suddenly appear to solve the problem and bring the story to a close."

"Some critics see this technique as a clumsy plot trick that undermines the story's internal logic, but it must be admitted that it is sometimes necessary. As a writer, one cannot be trapped by one's own plot."

Reality is certainly not the same as a work of art, but those who call themselves writers should always have a backup plan.

The theologian frowned even more deeply, sensing that the situation might be spiraling out of his control.

But what other tricks does Bai Ze have up his sleeve?
He must have run out of options.

On the contrary, he had a backup plan: another accomplice was still on the train.

The theologian couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from making a decisive move to take action.

Without saying a word, the theologian turned his palm and withdrew, dark clouds rising from his palm and thunder exploding, followed by a sudden burst of thunder.

Upon seeing this, Yun Jingming's body surged with pure energy, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the back of the Gu Diao.

A vast aura descended from behind, carrying the force of a collapsing sky and falling clouds, crashing down upon Bai Ze.

however--

boom!
A perfectly round protective aura suddenly appeared, enveloping Bai Ze within it and blocking the protective energy.

Bai Ze remained motionless within the protective aura, "This technique is called Deus ex machina, mechanical deus ex machina."

The lightning bolts in front were intercepted by Mu Yaoguang's sword, while the pressing qi from behind was blocked by the qi shield.

At the same time, a blade of light suddenly appeared, slashing across the sky. The blade's sharp and fierce momentum forced Yun Jingming to retreat.

Several powerful auras joined the battlefield and arrived at the top of the train.

Passengers from Japan: Hakubikyu and Niwa Kyozo.

The passengers from the African continent—two black men wearing robes.

They stood around Bai Ze, some in front and some behind.

That perfectly round protective barrier was set up by one of the Black Continent people, and judging from its aura, it was purely a Taoist practice.

“Deus ex machina,” Ekaterina finally understood Bai Ze’s meaning upon seeing this scene. “So that’s it. These people are not the real ones. The writer found them and had experts from Dongxia replace them.”

Besides Bai Ze, there were four other people wearing vests who got on the bus. If you include Mu Yaoguang, who was impersonating Bai Ze, then there were five people.

Because mental energy cannot be projected outwards and perception is limited inside the train, even though the theologian is not restricted, he would still be detected if he projected his mental energy outwards in full view of others.

Therefore, these people deceived others, and for some reason, even Ivan, who had the ability to foresee the future, failed to discover them.

Rather, it was precisely because of Ivan's endorsement that the other passengers were convinced of these people's identities.

The theologians are waiting for Yun Jingming and his wife, but what is Bai Ze waiting for?
He was waiting for the theologian to make his move.

"The deus ex machina technique may seem clumsy in stories, but in reality, it truly gives people a sense of security," Bai Ze murmured.

This is what he meant by borrowing the power of Zhang Huayang and others.
