Despite their anger, with everyone gathered, defeating these antimatter legion pawns was a piece of cake.

The battle ended in just a few minutes.

Only now did Dan Shu realize that he was nothing more than a pawn of Huan Long.

Having achieved her goal, Huanlong readily abandoned herself.

Dan Shu knelt on the ground, unable to calm down for a long time, and did not say another word as the Yunqi Army captured him.

Qiong glanced one last time at the distraught Dan Shu, but said nothing.

Dan Shu chose this path himself, and I tried very hard to persuade him, but unfortunately, we still ended up fighting each other.

"It's not safe for the Pill Refining Division right now. We should take Miss Tingyun back to the Shence Mansion. I will have someone examine her."

Fu Xuan looked at the unconscious Ting Yun and couldn't help but sigh.

"Um, Lord Diviner, will Miss Tingyun be arrested again?"

On March 7th, he asked Fu Xuan.

"Since he was possessed by Huanlong, and Huanlong has just appeared, and Tingyun has been working at the Tianbo Division for nearly three hundred years, he is naturally not a suspect... However, I will still personally question him afterward to understand some things."

Fu Xuan had no doubts and shook his head at March 7.

"That's great. Miss Tingyun is a pitiful person too. Being possessed by such a terrifying creature must be very scary."

March 7th looked at Tingyun with a worried expression and said.

Stephen Chow, meanwhile, looked at Ting Yun and thought that her acting was quite convincing, but she didn't seem to be acting at all.

"Let's take Miss Tingyun to the encampment first. Huanlong probably has some big plans. We need to get to where Huanlong is going."

“What you say is absolutely right. The place Huanlong went to is Lin Yuan Realm, where the roots of the Jianmu tree are located. I’m afraid that the Great Lord of Annihilation’s scheme is to target the Jianmu tree itself.”

Fu Xuan frowned and nodded.

The thought that Huanlong's body, made from that Jianmu tree, was quite beautiful, but that it would soon be pierced through by the God, made Zhou Xingxing feel a little sorry for him.

Hopefully, Fuyan won't do anything reckless.

On the way, Zhou Xingxing carried Tingyun back, and this time Qiong and Bronya didn't feel anything was wrong.

"My benefactor is truly cunning... He has probably been eyeing this body of mine, which I have painstakingly sculpted, for a long time."

Tingyun whispered to Zhou Xingxing from his back.

I am really unwilling to accept this. I have been lurking on the Immortal Ship for so many years just to get such a fertile body, but now it has all gone to waste.

"You've already taken over Tingyun's body, what more do you need from the Abundant Divine Body? Speaking of which, is the original owner of this body you've taken over still alive?"

Stephen Chow rolled his eyes. "What if you take it?"

At the same time, he asked the question he had always wanted to know.

"Is my benefactor so interested in the original owner of this body? If I had introduced myself as Huanlong upon our first meeting, would my benefactor have worried about my safety?"

"I'm being serious with you."

Zhou Xingxing was speechless. The name was of course unimportant; he just wanted to know if the original owner of this body was still alive.

"To be honest, my benefactor, I have been in this body for over thirty years. Even your sister was drained of her strength in less than two hours after being possessed by Fuyan. Do you think an ordinary fox-woman like me can survive?"

Upon hearing Ting Yun's words, Zhou Xingxing's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

In the end, Huanlong still swallowed Tingyun.

"However, things are not as my benefactor thinks... Although I enjoy stirring up internal strife and watching from the sidelines, I am not a ruthless demon."

"If I had to say, I was actually a friend of my predecessor..."

Tingyun sighed softly, a hint of reminiscence on her face.

"This predecessor was also a pitiful child. He was orphaned at a young age and was not a native of Luofu. He escaped from other immortal ships."

"Oh, by the way. Speaking of escaping from other immortal ships, my benefactor must know why Dan Shu betrayed the Hunting Clan and turned to the Abundance Clan, right?"

“I know, but it’s ironic. Although Dan Shu outwardly believes in abundance, he is actually driven by revenge, and in the end, he can’t escape the path of hunting.”

Zhou Xingxing nodded. He naturally knew this. It was because of that war of abundance that Fanghu Immortal Ship was about to be defeated. Xunlie shot Fanghu with an arrow, causing Danshu's friend to die. This greatly affected Danshu, who then turned to the Abundance and wanted to take revenge on Xunlie.

"Yes, they were saved by their own master, but instead of hating the creators of the war of abundance, they hate the consequences caused by their master's actions."

Tingyun shook her head slightly, clearly looking down on Dan Shu as well.

After all, from the very beginning, Dan Shu was merely a pawn in his scheme to instigate internal strife and awaken Jianmu.

"And its predecessor was exactly the same. A hunting arrow hit one-fifth of the Fanghu, and the little guy's parents were among them. After the disaster, the little guy found that none of his relatives and friends had survived. He lost all his support at such a young age, which is really a pity."

"Later, when Fanghu was recuperating and resources became scarce, many refugees were sent to other immortal ships, and this little guy was sent to Luofu."

"However, the nine giant ships of the Immortal Ship Alliance were constantly engaged in warfare at that time, and the resources obtained by the refugees were extremely limited. Moreover, as for the refugees, you should know how they are treated, my benefactor."

As Tingyun spoke, Stephen Chow fell silent.

Indeed, even now, there are cases of children bullying those with disabilities. In the past, refugees would probably have been even less cared for, and being given food to survive would have been a luxury.

"And Luofu is naturally not entirely peaceful either. Various disasters, large and small, occur from time to time. The most famous of them, the Yinyue Rebellion, is well known to my benefactor."

"When I first arrived here, I was wondering how I could witness the legendary miracle of abundance when I came across this little guy lying on the ground, covered in wounds and looking pitiful. Upon closer inspection, I learned that the little guy had just received his share of food when it was snatched away by other refugees. He wanted to seek help from the Cloud Cavalry, but he happened to encounter a Cloud Cavalryman who was possessed by a demonic spirit. I couldn't bear to see a child die in front of me, so I possessed him and drove away the demonic spirit."

"So, if you hadn't intervened, Tingyun would have been killed by that demonic Yin body long ago?"

Stephen Chow seemed to realize something, and at the same time, he felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion

"That's true, but after I chased the little one away, I found that her injuries were so severe that even the most miraculous healing spells couldn't save her. I'm not good at medicine, and I thought I had done my best. I just assumed it was just bad luck for the child and was about to leave when I didn't expect that Lord Yu Kong would suddenly appear, save her, and adopt her as his daughter."

"I originally intended to leave, but then I realized that this was a good opportunity to infiltrate Luofu."

"Unfortunately, although the physical injuries were healed, the child's soul fire was already on its last legs. If it weren't for me possessing him, it would have dissipated long ago. As a way of repaying him, I did my best to maintain the little guy's soul fire for a week. The little guy was quite magnanimous; knowing he only had a week left, he didn't despair but instead fully enjoyed this carefree period of life..."

"Before parting, the little girl smiled and told me that she hoped I could help her repay her mother... From then on, that little Tingyun disappeared, and in her place was a clever, resourceful, and conscientious extradition envoy named Tingyun who worked diligently for the Tianbo Bureau for more than 30 years."

After hearing Tingyun's story, Stephen Chow was also taken aback, never expecting that there was such a past.

"You talk like you're a good person."

Even so, Huanlong is, after all, the Great Lord of Annihilation, and we cannot change our opinion of him because of this story.

Tingyun just smiled when she heard this.

"I have never said that. I just want to tell my benefactor that I may be cunning and calculating, and not a good person, but my feelings are absolutely genuine."

Chapter 168 The Jianmu Tree Standing by the Abyss

"Then why did you subvert the Immortal Ship?"

Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes. Although Tingyun said that, he did a lot of things.

"Oh dear, my benefactor, you misunderstand. My main goal is simply to have a healthy and abundant body. If I don't use the name of overthrowing the Immortal Ship, how can I get those secret recipes of the Medicine King to work for me?"

"real or fake?"

Zhou Xingxing asked with some suspicion, "Now that you mention it, there's some truth to it."

"Of course, and even if the immortal ship was really overturned, it was those secret methods of the Medicine King that were responsible."

Tingyun said with a somewhat self-righteous air.

"You're good with words, but don't forget you're the mastermind behind it all."

"But our mastermind was caught before he could do anything. At most, it's just an attempted crime. The real evil deeds were done by those secret practitioners of the Medicine King."

"Alright, at least you know how to talk."

Zhou Xingxing sighed helplessly, realizing he seemed to have been truly convinced; this was indeed very much in line with Huanlong's personality.

As expected of a fox, it is indeed cunning.

Upon returning to the camp, Fu Xuan immediately arranged for the Star Chariot to prepare to head to Lin Yuan Realm.

"We must be extra careful in our next move. The enemy is the Great Lord of Annihilation, so we must not be careless."

Walter, on the other hand, was holding a pre-battle meeting with a serious expression.

However, the power awakened by Danheng, combined with the new hunting power gained by Zhou Xingxing and Qiong, made this operation a bit more reassuring.

"What's going on with this hunting force?"

Right after the meeting, Qiong pulled Zhou Xingxing aside and asked him a question.

After all, although he was angry with Dan Shu, he was not angry enough to warrant the attention of the Star God.

"I've been under an illusion spell and witnessed a truly horrific scene."

Zhou Xingxing sighed. Illusion was indeed terrifying. He had no idea when he had entered. He was only a little confused when Walter and his group were trapped, but then he was so shocked by what he saw that he couldn't calm down and think about it carefully.

"What did you see?"

Qiong looked at Zhou Xingxing with some doubt and some heartache. To be able to attract the attention of the hunters, what a terrifying scene that must be.

"Everyone is dead, even you fell into my arms, I'm the only one left."

Stephen Chow sighed; the scene was so realistic it almost made him depressed.

Qiong's mouth gaped open in shock; he probably wouldn't have been able to accept this scene either.

However, Qiong quickly recovered and hurriedly comforted him.

"Don't worry, with Uncle Yang leading us, how could we die so easily? You're such an idiot, believing that!"

Qiong said reproachfully, though her tone was accusatory, it was full of concern.

"You would believe that too if you were in my shoes."

Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes at Qiong and said.

"Hmph, I'm not that stupid."

Qiong Yi put her hands on her hips and said with a defiant look on her face.

Stephen Chow chuckled. He considered himself an optimist, and once he realized it was an illusion, he didn't take it too seriously.

"Tch, you've been going out with Miss Tingyun every day, playing and eating. You've caught Huanlong's eye."

Seeing Zhou Xingxing's carefree attitude, Qiong pouted, realizing she had worried for nothing, and couldn't help but tease him.

"But in a way, it's a good thing. Huanlong awakened new powers in us, so it's worth it."
