The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 126 Why Did the Grand Diviner Plot a Rebellion?
The crow sucked the now-foolish Suiyang into the gourd and said to Meng Huaifeng, "The reason we came to Suiyuan tonight was to seal it, but it turned out to be unexpectedly cunning, hiding and causing us to return empty-handed several times. Thank you again this time for helping us seal Suiyang. By the way, my sister is still searching for it everywhere. I need to tell her that she doesn't need to look anymore, as Suiyang has been sealed. It's really strange, why did this Suiyang possess you and walk right into our trap? If it had stayed hidden, it would have taken so much effort to find it. But this is a good thing. Now I can have some time to spend with my sister, which makes me very happy."

"I didn't hear any joy in your voice at all," March 7th couldn't help but complain, listening to the crow's flat tone.

"I'm truly sorry, but I was in charge of the interrogation of the four judges, which involved probing too many messy memories. My emotional expression was affected, making it difficult for me to show any fluctuations, but my joy is genuine. Actually, my tone did fluctuate, but you didn't notice; only my sister could sense it," Han Ya continued in a calm tone.

"Is there really a fluctuation? Ah Xing, Huai Feng, did you hear it?" March 7th asked.

Xing shook her head; she hadn't noticed either.

Meng Huaifeng used a program to create a waveform of Han Ya's voice in his mind. He found that when Han Ya said the last sentence, the waveform did rise a little, but it quickly fell back down.

"Little Gui, how are you? Are you alright? Judge, will there be any aftereffects of being possessed by a ghost? What happened to Little Gui?" Su Chang shook Gui Naifen, who remained blankly unresponsive. She looked to Han Ya for help.

“Being possessed by Suiyang for a long time will absorb a lot of emotions, which will indeed lead to weakness and mental fatigue. But according to you, she has only been possessed for a short time, so she should be fine,” Han Ya said.

“It is indeed a bit strange. Here is a calming talisman. Let’s stick it on her and see if it can bring her back to normal.” Huo Huo took out a talisman from her small handbag and stuck it on Gui Naifen.

Gui Naifen slowly came to her senses: "Was I possessed by a ghost just now?"

"It's not a ghost, it's Suiyang," Huo Huo corrected.

"Is my live stream really over?" Gui Naifen asked, sounding utterly dejected.

“Yes. Didn’t you lock it yourself?” Su Chang said.

"It wasn't me, it was a ghost, it was a ghost! A streamer who actually encountered a ghost and was possessed by it during a ghost-hunting live stream—that's the first time in live streaming history! And now the live stream has been shut down, boohoo, all my massive viewership! Boohoo!" Gui Naifen cried out in despair.

"Don't cry, I have a video recording that I can send to you, of course, with the permission of the Ten Kings Division," Meng Huaifeng comforted him.

"Your Honor!" Gui Naifen rubbed her hands together, looking at Han Ya expectantly. If it weren't for Han Ya's status as a judge of the Ten Kings Division, she probably would have already grabbed her leg and begged for mercy.

"The Creation Furnace was destroyed by the Medicine King's secret technique some time ago. Although it was discovered and repaired in time, quite a few Suiyang still escaped. We have captured and sealed most of them in recent days, but there are still a few that we have not been able to find. Since she is your friend, the Ten Kings Division can allow her to release related videos, but she must also use her status as an internet celebrity streamer to find a way to help us find the whereabouts of the remaining Suiyang. What do you say?" Han Ya said to Meng Huaifeng.

"Should we accept it or not?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"As long as I become famous and express my desire to continue searching for ghost sites, countless netizens will definitely provide me with information! The timid will starve, the bold will thrive, and I, Gui Zi, accept this request!" Gui Naifen said without hesitation.

“Alright, from now on, Huo Huo will be your advisor. You can ask her any questions about Sui Yang,” Han Ya said.

"This...can I do it?" Huo Huo asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Be more confident. You've even faced the Envoy Huanlong, so why are you afraid of these little Karami?" Meng Huaifeng encouraged.

“Exactly, and besides, there’s me, the great one!” Tail chimed in.

"I couldn't help at all... Okay, I'll try my best. Ever since I met Huanlong, I'm not so afraid of other demons and monsters anymore." Huo Huo clenched her fists.

"The mission of the Ten Kings Division is complete. Everyone, let us escort you away." Han Ya said to Meng Huaifeng as he saw Xueyi return from afar.

The group left Suiyuan under the escort of the Ten Kings.

"Brother Huaifeng, when will you send me the video?" Gui Naifen asked Meng Huaifeng on the way.

"Soon. By the way, what does it feel like to be possessed by Suiyang?" Meng Huaifeng asked curiously.

"I don't feel anything. It's like I've suddenly become a third party in my body. I can only see and hear, and I can't control anything."

……

Early the next morning, the three, who were somewhat sleep-deprived, arrived at the Shence Palace along with Himeko and the others, who had already been notified.

After dealing with the remnants of the Medicine King's secret teachings, Fu Xuan used the Qiong Guan Formation to review the Illusionary Invasion. After removing the influence of the train group, no matter how he calculated it, the best outcome was that half of Luofu's cave heavens were destroyed, its vitality was severely damaged, and it had to stay in a star field to recuperate for decades.

Only then did Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan realize just how much of a favor they owed the train crew.

Jingyuan once again solemnly expressed his gratitude to the train crew for their assistance and presented them with a jade token symbolizing their alliance.

Thousands of years ago, when the alliance was established, all the immortal ships made a vow and inscribed it on the Jade Oath as proof. Even if heaven and earth perish, this vow will not be broken.

The jade tablet presented to the train crew is similar, recording the promise made by Luofu Yunqi to the train crew.

It is also a beacon; holding it tightly will send a message to the pair of jade talismans in the immortal boat's hand.

No matter how vast the Milky Way or how long the journey, the Luofu Cloud Riders will always arrive to meet the train and fulfill its mission.

……

Taipus.

Qingque arrived at work right on time, but as soon as she entered the office, she sensed that something was off.

Everyone looked hurried and solemn, and there seemed to be a murderous atmosphere in the air. Even the Cloud Cavalry guards on duty at the Taibu Temple gave people a feeling of impending doom.

"Alas, what happened? Has the Great Lord of Annihilation attacked again?" Qingque asked, pulling aside a familiar diviner.

"Qingque, you've finally arrived. The Grand Diviner has been waiting for you for a long time. Go quickly to the Grand Diviner's office; he will tell you what happened," the diviner said.

Qingque nervously arrived at Fu Xuan's office.

"Qingque, you've finally arrived. Can I trust you?" Fu Xuan was small in stature, but his tone was full of authority.

"What are you saying, Lord Diviner? Little Sparrow admires you the most and is utterly loyal to you. Of course you can trust Little Sparrow," Qingque patted her chest and assured him. Who can't say such polite words?
"Very good." Fu Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "I want to become a general, and I need someone to support me. The Minglong Master has always been at odds with Jing Yuan. Go to the Minglong Clan and win them over for me to gain their support."

"Huh?" Qingque was completely dumbfounded: "No, Lord Taibu, are you serious?"

"What do you mean, 'really'? I am a man of my word. When have I ever lied?" Fu Xuan frowned and said unhappily.

"This...this...General Jingyuan is an envoy, can you handle him?" Qingque stammered.

"This is none of your business. Besides, when did I ever say I was going to deal with Jing Yuan? Are you going to do the thing of winning over the Chiming Dragon Clan or not?" Fu Xuan asked sternly.

"I...I...I..." Qingque was sweating profusely. "Were you lying when you said you were loyal to me?" Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent seemed to emanate from them.

"Really, really! Little Sparrow will do it! I will not fail in my mission!" Qingque nodded hurriedly, her heart filled with bitterness.

“Very good. After this is accomplished, I will grant you the position of Grand Diviner,” Fu Xuan said.

"what?"

Even if it really works out, why are you repaying kindness with enmity?

Qingque walked out of the Grand Diviner's Office with a worried expression. Putting aside whether the Grand Diviner could defeat Jingyuan and become a general, even if he did, his unorthodox rise to power would still face accountability from the alliance.

Report to General Jingyuan?
No, no, although the Grand Diviner went a bit too far this time... no, she's always treated me well. I can't betray her.

Strange, how could such a wise diviner suddenly have such an unreliable idea?

Could it be that he is possessed by an evil spirit?

I need to find a way to restore the Grand Diviner to normal before he takes action or is exposed!

General Jingyuan certainly couldn't tell that there was no one else on Luofu who could suppress the Grand Diviner.
Qingque only wanted one train crew.

Given the train crew's reputation, they probably won't report the Grand Diviner, right?
[Playing cards for life: Brother, where are you? Something strange has happened in Tabuan, and I need your help.]
[Gentle Breeze: What strange thing happened? Tell me more.]
[Playing cards recklessly: Things are a bit complicated; let's discuss it in detail when we meet.]
Meng Huaifeng and Qing Que arranged to meet at Chang Le Tian.

When Meng Huaifeng, Sanyueqi, and Xing found Qingque, Qingque was playing cards.

"You're still in the mood to play cards, so it seems things aren't too serious," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Serious, of course serious, it's extremely serious! Pong!" Qingque emphasized, but still didn't forget to play a card.

"Is it really serious?" March 7 asked doubtfully.

“Really. But no matter how serious it is, if I just keep a long face and do nothing, like arguing or hitting Di Huan Qiongyu, it won’t affect the situation. So why not make myself happy?” Qingque answered while continuing to work with her hands.

“We’re all here, why don’t you hurry up and finish?” March 7th said.

"It's not a big deal to waste a little time. I'll finish this game first."

"You really live up to your online name," Meng Huaifeng said, both amused and exasperated.

"It's ruined! I have to go now, remember to pay me."

After winning the hand, Qingque became nervous and led Meng Huaifeng and the other two to a secluded place.

"Here's what happened..." Qingque recounted Fu Xuan's unusual behavior.

"Wow, is Fu Xuan really going to take over? This is so exciting! I, Galaxy Baseball Man, support her!" Xing's eyes lit up.

“No, General Jingyuan is my senior brother, of course I should stand on General Jingyuan’s side.” March 7 disagreed.

"Hey, I'm not asking you to take sides with anyone. I want your help to see if the Grand Diviner can be brought back to normal. Something's definitely wrong with her right now. And she actually asked me to be the Grand Diviner! That's terrifying!" Qingque shuddered.

"You didn't come to us for this reason, did you?" Meng Huaifeng looked at Qingque suspiciously.

"How could that be... Well, that's partly true, but mainly it's because I don't want to see Luofu in chaos. I, Qingque, am wholeheartedly devoted to Luofu!" Qingque patted his chest, appearing utterly loyal.

"Tsk, he looks like a diviner, and it's not impossible for him to become a general," Meng Huaifeng said with a smile.

"Heh, don't joke around. I'm more suited to be a sect leader." Qingque chuckled dryly.

"I'm not joking. From what you've said, Fu Xuan's personality changed after he left me. My illusion definitely isn't that powerful. It's more likely that he was possessed by Sui Yang," Meng Huaifeng speculated, stroking his chin.

Having just experienced the spirit-hunting incident last night, it's hard not to think of Suiyang when I see someone whose personality has suddenly changed drastically.

The crow said that there are still several years left to be found.

"Fu Xuan Tai Bu is so powerful, how could he be controlled by Sui Yang?" March 7th was somewhat skeptical, as Sui Yang couldn't even control the stars yesterday.

"Could it be... Huanlong is back!" Xing's words startled Sanyueqi and Qingque.

"While it's not impossible, the probability is very low. Huanlong's true form was seriously injured by General Jingyuan. Given her cowardly nature and her willingness to run away without hesitation, she probably won't risk coming to the Immortal Ship until she recovers," Meng Huaifeng denied.

"It's really strange how Huanlong became the Destruction Envoy," March 7th said.

“I feel like I could be the Destruction Messenger too,” Xing said.

"As for why Taibu was controlled by Suiyang, we can ask a professional." Meng Huaifeng made a phone call to Huo Huo.

Qingque reached out to stop him, but then thought about it and withdrew her hand. If it really was Suiyang, then the judges of the Ten Kings Division were indeed more professional.

After Meng Huaifeng voiced his question to Huo Huo, Huo Huo immediately replied, "Ordinary Suiyang cannot directly control powerful individuals, but if the possessed person's mind has a flaw, Suiyang will seize the opportunity, slowly guiding them along with their emotions, and eventually completely control the host, turning them into a puppet. Even if it hasn't completely controlled them, it can slowly influence the possessed person's thoughts, making them unknowingly act according to Suiyang's wishes. Brother Huaifeng, have you found Suiyang?"

As expected of an intern judge recognized by the Ten Kings Division, aside from being a little timid, her professional knowledge is truly unquestionable.

"Most likely," Meng Huaifeng nodded.

"Wait for me, Xiao Guizi and I will be there soon," Huo Huo said with delight.

Meng Huaifeng hung up the call and said to March 7 and the others, "It seems that we are right. It must have been that Fu Xuan Tai Bu was stimulated in my illusion during the day, and then Sui Yang took advantage of the situation. If it weren't for Sui Yang, this stimulation would probably have been fine after one night. It's a pity, it's too coincidental. Speaking of which, this matter is because of me. I will definitely resolve this matter."

Meng Huaifeng felt slightly embarrassed; who could have imagined such a thing would happen?

"Oh dear, I really didn't expect that the wise and sagacious Grand Diviner would actually stumble on the day of the year." Qingque was slightly gloating, but she quickly composed herself and coughed, saying, "I mean, it's great that the rebellion wasn't Grand Diviner's intention. Now I don't have to feel guilty towards Grand Diviner anymore. I'll leave this matter to you."

　Today is the Ghost Festival (Zhongyuan Festival), I went to burn paper money to worship my ancestors, and I'm a little late.
