"Simply put, I feel much younger."
Jing Yuan clenched his fist. His body hadn't changed much, but he felt much more relaxed.
"That's good. But the Demonic Yin Body has only been sealed away; it doesn't mean it's been eradicated. Please remember this, General."
"That's enough... Today, as the clouds part, it feels like I've returned to the time when we waited here..."
Jing Yuan looked at the dragon statue and couldn't help but sigh.
“I will forever remember your kindness today. If the Star Train ever needs anything in the future, I will do my utmost to repay you.”
Jing Yuan said to Zhou Xingxing with a solemn expression.
"Alright, thank you very much, General."
"No, I should be the one thanking you, sir."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Ren, standing to the side, nodded secretly.
In Elio's script, the Immortal Ship Alliance will owe the Starry Sky Train a favor, which will play a crucial role in the future fight against destruction.
However, when he saw the power of the Star's discipline, he immediately realized that Eriol's storyline was no longer the best one.
Since you have received a favor from someone, you should naturally repay it.
Therefore, the demonic yin body that Ren had just revealed to Jing Yuan could no longer affect him. Jing Yuan, who was also troubled by the demonic yin body, could not possibly not take the bait.
In this way, the Immortal Boat Alliance owes more than just a single favor.
While I won't say I'll follow the Star Train to the highest rank in the future, I will definitely treat it as an honored guest.
The price to pay is simply to help some important figures in the Immortal Ships resolve their demonic possession issues. As long as the Immortal Ship Alliance isn't a bunch of idiots, they will absolutely not let this news leak out.
Bai Lu looked left and right, and felt that Jing Yuan's smile seemed a little more radiant.
Although the general had a faint smile on his face, it was a smile that carried a hint of laziness, giving the impression that he didn't care much about anything.
"That's enough flattery, she's here."
Ren interrupted Jingyuan and Zhou Xingxing's conversation and glanced indifferently at the entrance of Xianlong Dayun Hall.
I came here not only to help Bailu and Xing, but also to keep my appointment.
A cool and aloof figure slowly walked over.
"You guys are quick on your feet. What? You miss your old friend?"
Jingliu slowly walked up to the crowd and asked calmly.
Upon seeing Jingliu, Jingyuan's mind began to stir.
Although the laws of the alliance cannot be changed, it is not entirely impossible to atone for one's crimes through good deeds.
Previously, while he was in the prison, Jingliu had approached him, saying that after this reunion, he would confess his crimes and voluntarily be imprisoned in the prison.
Jing Yuan did not stop him, because he knew that his mentor, who was both a teacher and a friend, had been fighting against the demonic spirit for many years and was finally coming to an end.
The so-called imprisonment is nothing more than finding a dignified place to leave.
"After all, you are my mentor. It would be against the rules to make my mentor wait."
Jing Yuan smiled faintly and said.
Before this meeting, I was actually a little sad and uneasy, because it meant that everything from back then would vanish and all the friendships we had formed would be gone.
Of course, the cause of everything was Bai Heng's death, a mountain that weighed heavily on the hearts of the four people and could not be removed.
It was this mountain that caused Yin Yue to commit a mistake and be forced to reincarnate. Ren became an immortal monster and was corrupted by the demonic body for life. Jing Liu was forced to kill the evil dragon formed from the body of his former friend and fell into the demonic body.
Jingyuan, who seemed to be the most relaxed of the four, having done nothing wrong and nothing at all, was their best friend and could only watch helplessly as it all happened.
Later, out of guilt, he could only suppress this feeling, just like the demonic spirit, deep in his heart, daring not to touch it.
"Jingyuan, you still have the mind to talk nonsense?"
Jing Liu's tone was cold, but then he saw Bai Lu, Zhou Xingxing, and Qiong behind everyone.
"Why is she here too...?"
Upon seeing Bai Lu, Jing Liu's tone softened considerably, and he asked calmly.
"Excuse me, I brought her with me. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Stephen Chow quickly raised his hand and spoke.
"..."
Jingliu looked at Zhou Xingxing, the man who had taken a sword strike from him earlier.
Previously, it was he who brought Bailu to interfere in his struggle with Yanqing, and in the end, he even dragged Yinyue and Ren into it.
Now they've appeared here again...
Jingliu had a feeling that this person's intentions were not simple.
"Um... what are you all doing all together? Are you going to fight like before?"
Bai Lu looked at the four of them with some confusion and asked.
"Before?"
Jing Yuan sensed something was off about their words. Could it be that they had already met before they arrived?
"Yes, back at Star Harbor, General, the young man next to you was about to get beaten up by this lady. Luckily, Brother Xing rushed over to help... After that, things got a bit complicated. Brother Danheng and this uncle also came over. At first, it was just the two of them fighting each other... but then it turned into the two of them beating up this lady together."
Bai Lu nodded and explained.
Hearing him called "uncle" again, Ren's face darkened, but he didn't dare to correct him.
As for Dan Heng, he turned his head away; that previous battle... was a memory he didn't want to recall...
"I see. I am very grateful to my teacher for Yanqing's matter."
Jing Yuan nodded. Yan Qing hadn't told him about this either, probably because he was embarrassed after being beaten up.
Jingliu was at a loss for words. Originally, there were only four people at this gathering, but unexpectedly, Bailu was present.
But Jing Yuan, contrary to his usual behavior, started to talk big. Could it be that he still wanted to try to save the fragmented Five Heroes of the Clouds?
Jingliu shook his head and looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, everything is in vain.
"I never imagined that after hundreds of years, the Five Heroes of the Clouds would be able to reunite."
After a moment of contemplation, Jingliu spoke slowly.
"The Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds? Aren't there only four of them?"
Bai Lu whispered to Zhou Xingxing beside her.
Zhou Xingxing smiled without saying a word and patted Bai Lu's head.
Why are you suddenly touching my head! It'll stunt my growth!
Bai Lu protested angrily, but then suddenly felt that she had interrupted the conversation, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Upon hearing this shout, all four of them turned their gazes toward Bai Lu.
"Forehead..."
This made Bai Lu very embarrassed, but for some reason, she could see tenderness in the eyes of the four people.
Strange? Why is everyone looking at me like that? Is it because I'm too cute?
Bai Lu tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"Seven hundred years ago, the five of us made a promise here that no matter how far apart we were, we would meet here and drink a cup together."
"It's a pity that the Scale Abyss is empty and the world is ever-changing. Of the five of us, some were reborn in this world, some wished to die but could not, some became prisoners, and some... could never keep our promise again."
Jingliu looked back at the sky, clutched his chest, and slowly spoke.
"Soon I will be put in shackles for trial, and this departure may be our last. So before I leave, I extend an invitation to you all to say goodbye at this place where we first met."
"Although the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds has come to an end, you all have new lives ahead of you. The past is certainly sad, but Miss Jingliu must look forward."
Seeing that the other three remained silent, Stephen Chow was speechless. How come they were all still so quiet even though their demonic bodies were gone?
Ren and Danheng are one thing, but Jing Yuan, you're not saying anything either?
"Looking forward? Heh heh... Easy for you to say. Whether it's personally slaying the monstrous dragon formed from the remains of my dearest friend, falling into demonic possession and harming my fellow immortals on the Immortal Ship, or being corrupted and cursed by the demonic body, this painful memory is etched in my mind every moment..."
Jing Liu's eyes were filled with frost as she looked at Zhou Xingxing through the black veil. Even through the veil, Zhou Xingxing could feel the chilling aura emanating from her gaze.
"What do you know, you short-lived creature who has never experienced anything?"
"I may not understand, but things change, and who can predict the future? If we live in the sorrow of the past, we will never see the beauty of tomorrow."
Stephen Chow said softly to the mirror.
"Beautiful? Hehehe... That word vanished seven hundred years ago along with everything they did."
When I fled Luofu, I considered giving up revenge and abandoning everything. But as the years have passed, it has become clearer and clearer, almost like an old friend who accompanies me day and night...
It whispers in my ear constantly, reminding me of everything I did while I was trapped in the demonic darkness... for seven hundred years... and I, soon, will pay a terrible price for everything I've done.
Jingliu's eyes were veiled in black, making it impossible to discern his expression.
But Bai Lu could still hear the deep sadness and resentment hidden in his tone.
Bai Lu lowered her eyes slightly, and for some reason, seeing this scene made her feel a little sad.
"Times have changed, Miss Jingliu. I'm giving you a chance, a chance to give up revenge and say goodbye to the past."
Stephen Chow spoke calmly to the mirror.
"Oh? I'm quite curious, how can you give me that opportunity?"
Jingliu asked coldly.
"If you want to know, you might as well ask these two."
As Zhou Xingxing spoke, he looked at Jing Yuan and Ren.
Jingliu also looked at the two of them, slightly puzzled.
"Kyoryu, you still owe me a payment."
