The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 117 Is this a blade? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Stop undermining me!" March 7th casually nudged Xing, he was used to it.

"From now on, let's not call Ah Xing 'Star Core Spirit' anymore. How about we change his name to 'Argumentative Spirit' instead?" Meng Huaifeng suggested.

“As a contrarian, do you think I’ll listen to you?” Stardust said.

"So, are you a contrarian or a star core expert now?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“If you think I’m a Star Core Spirit, then I’m a contrarian. If you think I’m a contrarian, then I’m a Star Core Spirit,” Star said smugly.

"I think Ah Xing, you deserve a beating." March 7th said, hands on hips.

"You guys are really interesting, it makes me want to get on the bus even more," Bai Heng said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Let Danheng become the Dragon Lord!" Bailu proposed again.

Dan Heng, who was blocking the way, stiffened slightly. This little girl was still eyeing him.

Bai Heng roughly ruffled Bai Lu's hair: "Don't talk nonsense, little Bai Lu. You can't push others into a fire pit for your own sake."

Ren, who was around the corner, was about to come out after hearing Dan Heng's wary voice, but then a voice that haunted his dreams made him freeze in place.

Such a familiar voice.

Although he knew it couldn't be her, as long as he didn't go out to confirm who made that sound, he could imagine that it was her speaking.

Please, say a few more words.

Blade closed his eyes and focused all his senses on his hearing.

"Why is there no sound? Is no one here? Or did they lose too much blood and faint?" Bai Heng asked curiously.

"I'll go take a look," Dan Heng said.

It really sounds like she said those words herself; you can't hear the slightest difference.

If it really were you, how wonderful that would be?

The corners of Ren's tightly closed eyes were slightly moist.

The footsteps drew closer, and Ren reluctantly opened his eyes. It was just a fleeting dream; it was time to shatter it.

"Qiang~"

A blood-red blade suddenly emerged from around the corner, and Dan Heng abruptly stopped. The familiar blade made his pupils shrink.

"edge?!"

"Danfeng, it's been a long time. I wish you were dead." Ren's figure emerged from around the corner, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Danheng.

"Not long ago, I just saw you in Belleburg a while ago." Dan Heng smiled slightly; the blade was no longer a psychological trauma for him.

Upon hearing Dan Heng's words, an unpleasant memory surfaced in Ren's mind, and his entire body began to emit black smoke.

"After I kill you, I'll settle the score with that little brat!" Blade said, his eyes red, and the fragmented sword began to emit an ominous red light.

"Yingxing!" Bai Heng exclaimed in surprise.

How long has it been since I last heard this name?
It was that familiar voice that called out.

Blade instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a figure from his dream waving enthusiastically at him.

Hallucination?

Has the demonic possession gotten worse?
Kaf... no, I like this Demonic Body. Don't suppress it, just let yourself sink into it.

"What brings you to Xianzhou? I thought I wouldn't see you for a while, but I'm so glad to see you so soon."

Ren stood there dumbfounded, but Bai Heng did not. Seeing that he was not moving, he took the initiative to run over.

"Be careful, he's in danger right now," Dan Heng warned.

"It's okay, no matter how dangerous it is, Yingxing won't hurt me. I trust him." Bai Heng gently pushed Dan Heng away.

Dan Heng became even more vigilant, wary of Ren suddenly going berserk and harming Bai Heng.

A chill emanated from Jingliu, his sharp gaze fixed intently on the blade.

Meng Huaifeng had no doubt that if Ren dared to make any rash moves, Jing Liu would not hesitate to unleash a devastating attack.

With the skill level of the Mirror School, it was entirely possible to kill the blade without harming Bai Heng, who was standing right next to him.

"You've changed a lot too. Your hair is black again. That's great. I remember your hair was almost completely white."

"I thought you would be the first of us to die, and I was even planning how to hold your funeral. I never thought I would be the one to go first, and that I would drag you all down with me."

"Speaking of which, isn't this the sword you forged for Jing Liuliu? How come it's with you now? It has so many cracks, did it... break?"

"By the way, you changed your name, right? Now you're called Blade?"

Bai Heng gripped Ren's arms, looked him up and down, and kept talking.

"I miss you so much," Ren whispered.

"Oh, when did you dare to speak so frankly to your older sister? Well, although I feel like I just took a nap, it's been over seven hundred years for you. It's all my fault for making you suffer for so many years." Bai Heng stood on tiptoe and rubbed Ren's head with some heartache.

I feel deeply guilty.

"Why does it feel so real? It's a little different from the Demonic Yin Body I used to have. My mind seems very clear." Blade felt the familiar method and force, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"It's true, I'm alive again." Bai Heng was both amused and exasperated. No wonder Ying Xing was acting so foolishly; she thought she was trapped in a demonic possession.

"According to this divine physician's diagnosis, although this uncle is in a state where he could fall into demonic possession at any time, he is not currently possessed by demonic possession. Here, take this pill, it can alleviate the symptoms of demonic possession."

Bai Lu poured a pill from her medicine gourd and handed it to Bai Heng.

The medicine gourd of Bailu has many small compartments inside, which can hold many different kinds of medicine.

"Come on, Yingxing, take your medicine."

Bai Heng held the pill to Ren's lips. Ren mechanically opened his mouth, and Bai Heng stuffed the pill into Ren's mouth, pressing two fingers against Ren's lips.

The chaotic aura emanating from the blade quickly subsided.

"Dang Cang."

The broken sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Bai Heng, is it really you? I've missed you so much!"

Ren suddenly hugged Bai Heng in front of him, choking back tears.

"Hey, why are you like this too? Be gentle. I'll forgive you this time because you've had a tough time all these years. Don't worry, it really is me, I'm back." Bai Heng said with a hint of disgust, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she gently patted his back to comfort him.

Jingliu narrowed his eyes slightly, but ultimately did not make a move.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Like a battered and wrecked ship finally returning to a safe harbor.

Ren was completely unable to control his emotions, and countless tears slid down his face, quickly soaking Bai Heng's shoulder.

His feelings for Bai Heng were extraordinary, but he was a short-lived creature and never dared to express them.

"The Star Core Hunter Blade, with a bounty of 8.1 billion, is crying?" March 7 asked in disbelief.

"Click, click!"

Meng Huaifeng and Xing both took out their phones to take pictures.

"Hey? I want to take pictures too!" March 7th opened his camera and started taking pictures as well; that's what you call professional.

Is taking a photo all it takes? No, you have to share it too.

[Meng Huaifeng: Images, images.]
[Silver Wolf: ? ? ? ]
[Silver Wolf: Who is this?]
[Meng Huaifeng: You don't recognize your companion?]
[Silver Wolf: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]
[Meng Huaifeng: Look at that sword on the ground.]
[Silver Wolf: You actually photoshopped a picture to fool me? Have you forgotten who taught you how to do that?]
[Meng Huaifeng: If you don't believe me, try hacking into my... hacking into Xing's phone. She's filming right now.]
[Silver Wolf: Coming right away!]
Xing was still filming enthusiastically, completely unaware that her phone had been hacked by Silver Wolf. Through the camera, Silver Wolf could clearly see Blade crying his eyes out.

"Kafka, Sam, something big has happened! Come and get some gossip!" Silver Wolf called out to the others impatiently.

[Silver Wolf: What exactly happened? How could you have done this to Ah Ren? Tell me quickly!]
[Meng Huaifeng: This story begins more than 800 years ago...]
When Meng Huaifeng shared the juicy gossip with the Star Core Hunter, Blade's emotions finally calmed down.

Ren and Bai Heng clearly had a lot to say, so the group found a teahouse and booked two private rooms: one for the four of them, Yun Shang Wu Xiao, and another for the four of them, Meng Huai Feng and Bai Lu.

The four members of Yunshang Wuxiao chatted while drinking tea. Meng Huaifeng, Bai Lu, Xing, and Sanyueqi didn't touch their tea and all pressed their ears against the wall.

Several members of the Star Core Hunters were also watching the drama unfold remotely via their mobile phones.

"What happened to the Fragmented Sword? The blade's craftsmanship is so good, what kind of fierce battle could have caused it to shatter like this?" Bai Heng asked curiously.

The weapons of the four members of the Five Heroes of the Clouds were all made by Ying Xing: Jing Yuan's Array Blade Stone Fire Dream Body, Dan Heng's Cloud-Striking Spear, Jing Liu's Dismembering Sword, and Bai Heng's Curved Bow.

Blade and Mirror Flow exchanged a glance.

A fierce battle?
However, it was only after Jingliu killed Ren countless times that the battle ended, when the Shikigami shattered and he impaled it on Ren's body.

Can I tell Bai Heng this?
No!

"Although I regained my sanity from the demonic body, I could no longer return to the Immortal Ship. I could only vent my hatred on the people of Fengrao. After hundreds of years of endless battles, the Fragmented Sword shattered, and I could only hand it over to Yingxing for repair." Jingliu looked at the blade threateningly.

“That’s right, the Fragmented Sword has been repaired, but we haven’t been able to find Mirror Stream and haven’t had a chance to return it to her,” Blade said.

"Then now..."

“I have found my own path and no longer need the Fragmented Sword. Just leave it with Yingxing,” Jingliu said. She didn’t want the sword.

“Okay.” Bai Heng scratched his head.

As dusk fell, fiery red clouds hung on the horizon.

Having learned how Bai Heng returned to the Blade, Dan Feng looked at Dan Heng with a complicated expression and finally said, "Dan Feng, thank you. From now on, our grudges are settled."

"Snapped!"

Bai Heng slapped Ren on the back: "What do you mean by settling scores? Settling scores isn't enough. We can still be good friends."

"Okay, I'll do as you say," Ren said softly.

Dan Heng's lips curled slightly. Was this really the madman he knew?

"I just hope you won't call me Danfeng anymore," Dan Heng said. Only this guy was so stubborn that he still thought of him as Danfeng.

"Dan... Heng, thank you." Ren paused, then called out his current name.

"Don't thank me. It's all thanks to the Martial Soul Technique that Bai Heng was able to return," Dan Heng said.

"I know." Ren walked into another private room and said to Meng Huaifeng, "If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help."

The Star Core Hunter also knew that the means to travel between worlds came from Meng Huaifeng.

"I remember you're a very skilled craftsman. How about you forge me a good spear for free? I don't have high requirements, just something similar to Danheng's Cloud-Striking Spear will do," Meng Huaifeng said. Heaven help him, it's been so long, and he still doesn't have a suitable weapon.

“No problem.” Blade agreed without hesitation. Although it had been hundreds of years since he last forged anything, he was confident that his technique hadn’t deteriorated too much.

Moreover, strong capabilities also aid in forging.

Meng Huaifeng glanced at March 7 and said, "Add another sword?"

“No problem.” Blade nodded again.

"He won't agree to any request we make, will he?" March 7th asked in surprise.

“I want a hundred baseball bats,” Xing demanded.

“No problem.” Ren paused for a moment, then said, “But it will take some time.”

"Don't listen to her nonsense. If we don't have a hundred baseball bats, we only have a gun and a sword." Meng Huaifeng glared at Xing.

……

"The rebels who spread the secret teachings of the Medicine King have been purged. The alchemists of the Pill Cauldron Department have suffered 50% casualties. The Creation Furnace was destroyed by the rebels. Although it was repaired in time, some of the Suiyang soldiers still escaped. In addition, several alchemy furnaces were damaged. The Cloud Cavalry suffered casualties... buildings were destroyed... civilians suffered casualties..."

At the Shence Palace, Fu Xuan and Yu Kong reported the battle results and losses to Jing Yuan.

"Let the Ten Kings Division handle the escaped Suiyang, and the Earth Balance Division handle the aftermath, compensation, and restoration matters. Fu Qing, prepare for me a list and evidence of the Ming Clan Dragon Master's collusion with the Medicine King's Secret Transmission and the Extinction Grand Monarch. In addition, according to the investigation, the Star Core is very likely not brought into the Immortal Ship by Huanlong. There were others after him. Yu Kong, investigate the people who entered the port a few days ago and find suspicious persons..." Jing Yuan arranged one by one.

The matter was finally resolved, and Jingyuan sent out a battle report.

"In March of Star Calendar 8100, the Luofu Immortal Ship reported: The Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, invaded, wreaking havoc on the Star Core. The Medicine King's secret transmission was disrupted, but with the help of the Starry Sky Train, a great victory was achieved."

Jing Yuan leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally over.

The remaining minor finishing touches were left to Fu Qing.

"Yanqing, how did you do yesterday?" Jingyuan asked the boy standing beside him like a pine tree.

"I single-handedly shut down three alchemy furnaces, killed hundreds of demonic beings, and slew most of the high-ranking members of the Medicine King's secret lineage. It's a pity I couldn't find their leader." Yan Qing excitedly recounted his achievements, then added with a hint of regret.

"Not bad, but what task did Fu Qing give you?" Jing Yun praised him slightly and then asked.

“Shut down the furthest alchemy furnace…” Yanqing said.

"Then why did you close three of them?"

"I have the ability to do more, so why not? This will also reduce the casualties of the Cloud Cavalry," Yan Qing said with high spirits.

Jing Yuan shook his head slightly. He was still young and impetuous, with too much of a desire to show off.

You did manage to do more and reduce the casualties of the Cloud Cavalry, but you also stole the credit from others.

The alchemy furnace had only been running for a short time, and the smoke was not dense, so the risk was actually not great.

It's better to leave such low-risk achievements to the ordinary cavalry.

If the Cloud Cavalry can't solve a problem, then being able to seize it and solve it is a real skill.

Jingyuan suddenly remembered what he had said yesterday when he fought Huanlong.

[Jingyuan: Young friend, do you still intend to learn swordsmanship in March?]
[March 7th: General Jingyuan, are you done with your work? I'm thinking of you.]
[Jingyuan: This is temporarily over.]
"Yanqing, I have a task for you: teach a distinguished guest on the train swordsmanship. What do you say?" Jingyuan looked at Yanqing.

"Yes, sir," Yanqing replied.

“She was the one who fought alongside me against Huanlong yesterday. She’s even stronger than you. You must teach her well,” Jing Yuan said.

"Oh? I understand, General." A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Yanqing's eyes.

Now that you've joined the battle of the Commanders, let me see just how powerful you really are.

On March 7th, he was suddenly awakened after receiving Jingyuan's message.

"Oh no! I was so focused on eating watermelon that I forgot to buy new clothes! Let's go, let's go!"

On March 7th, she pulled Meng Huaifeng and Xing out.

Then, remembering something, she ran back to Jingliu and asked, "Jingliu-neechan, do you still have time to teach me tomorrow?"

Judging from how Jingliu stayed by Baiheng's side all day, he probably won't want to leave her anytime soon.
