Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Although the Senate holds a significant position in Ohma, they are ultimately just mortals.

Even without the Golden Clan's intervention, a berserk earth beast could easily trample it to death...

"W-what scary things are you saying! Don't, don't scare us like that, Aya!" Tibo was terrified.

"Hehe, just kidding." Aglaia smiled.

Tibo breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew you were joking... Your way of comforting people is really unconventional!"

Aglaia smiled.

"Because we still have humanity, we want to find joy even in suffering."

Tibo nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously:

"By the way, how far have we progressed with this [infiltration] operation?"

"So many contaminated corpses of family members have been found, and the supply seems to keep increasing."

“No need to worry.” Aglaia said calmly.

"I have detected the last undercurrent; I will handle the rest myself."

"Om~~~"

Suddenly, the earth beast roared, its huge body slowly crouching down, and it picked up a long brush specially used for bathing the earth beast from the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of Aglaia and Tibo, the Earth Beast pointed in the direction of the restroom with its long brush.

"Om~~~"

"Ugh, do I need to use the restroom again?" Tibo looked up at the enormous figure and said helplessly.

"It doesn't seem like we've been feeding it much."

“The messengers just fed it a lot of vegetable cakes and some secret brew,” Aglaia explained.

"These foods are basically not eaten by many earth beasts."

"But it is quite the opposite; it no longer eats red soil, but prefers this type of food instead."

"Won't this make your stomach upset?" Tibo looked at the Earth Beast seriously, even though from her perspective, she could only see its belly at such a close distance.

"probably not……"

Now that Yan Huan has taken this earth beast as a pet, it can no longer be treated like livestock.

There is a difference between pets and livestock.

Pets need careful care, while livestock are merely tools or food reserves. As long as it doesn't affect their interests, it doesn't matter how they are treated.

Feeding, bathing, physical examinations... these have all been done for the Earth Beast.

“Master, may I entrust it to you temporarily?” Aglaia asked kindly.

"Oh, sure! You can leave Aya to us without worry."

After Aglaia also said goodbye and left, only Tibo was left by the Earth Beast's side.

"Oh... let me think."

The task now is to bring the Earth Beast to the vicinity of Yan Huan's bathing palace. The servants are already measuring the land there, planning to build a large Earth Beast shed.

In a sense, this is also a kind of expansion of the bathing palace, and the animal shed area still belongs to the nameless guests.

Chapter 1231 Rejecting Secondhand Goods

Under the blazing sun, the suspended peak shone brightly.

The Blade of Heavenly Punishment, the city's most spectacular attraction, hangs high in the sky, radiating a dazzling light.

The main street of Xuanfeng City was bustling with people.

Golden torches lined both sides of the avenue, burning fiercely.

"Where did I come from?" Yan Huan stood by the roadside, carefully looking around.

Judging from the landmark buildings, this is the former Suspended City.

At that time, Xuanfeng City still had many citizens, and the Heavenly Punishment Blade hung above it like the midday sun, proclaiming the prosperity of the city of strife.

“Hanging Edge City…this is what it looked like before Aigle closed his eyes.”

Gazing at the magnificent scene before her, Xia Die was filled with emotion.

"The city of warriors, its magnificence is well-deserved."

"Your Excellency Yan Huan, first we need to figure out which era we've returned to."

"The memories collected for Mimi all point to the end of the Golden War; perhaps we can use this as a starting point to make inferences..."

"It doesn't matter anymore, it's all an unfamiliar era to me." Yan Huan stepped forward and stopped a member of the Xuanfeng clan, asking:

"Dude, where's Nicardoli?"

"???" The man who was stopped was stunned at first, then looked at Yan Huan with disdain.

"Don't you know any manners? You should ask, 'Where is the esteemed Lord Nicardoli at this moment?' instead of just a few perfunctory questions!"

"What's the difference?"

"There's a huge difference!!"

"Ah... I'm sorry." Xia Die quickly rushed to Yan Huan's side and apologized to the increasingly angry Xuanfeng man:

"He may have some neurological issues, please don't worry about it."

"Actually, we are all followers of Lord Nicardoli. We came to Suspended Peak City to catch a glimpse of the God of Conflict."

Upon hearing this, the man with the suspended blade gradually recovered.

"Oh, so you're a contestant."

"But you're lucky. You want to see Lord Nicardi's face, right? Just win first place in this festival."

"Of course, cheating is not allowed, otherwise the score will be invalid."

"I have other things to do. If you want to bother someone else, go bother someone else."

After he left, Yan Huan immediately began to look at the others.

It seems that a festival was mentioned just now.

"Medemos is a coward!"

Someone nearby shouted angrily.

"Those who left Suspended Peak with him are unworthy of the name of the Spear of Heaven's Punishment... disgraced fugitives, they will never again bask in glory!"

Yan Huan slowly raised her head, feeling that the name Medemos sounded somewhat familiar.

Have I heard this somewhere before?

"It is the name of Lord Wan Di..." Xia Die explained.

"It seems that during this period, Lord Wan Di has already led a portion of the Suspended Peak people to relocate to Ohma."

Those on the edge continued their discussion.

“But Medemos was indeed the strongest warrior among us… Now that he has chosen to leave, who else can we follow?” the bewildered man asked.

The indignant people shouted:

"What are you talking about?"

"Wang Oulipang—the true leader of Suspended Peak City—has not fallen yet!"

"He remained steadfast in this city-state and never gave up on awakening the great Titans."

"As long as we stand firmly by his side, we can reclaim yesterday's glory and continue to bring bloodshed and conquest to the enemy...!"

"Is this what the fighting nation is like? They're really hot-blooded..." Yan Huan looked at the group.

What is the meaning of war?

For Suspended Peak City, no matter how much fighting there is, the Titan of Strife will always stand firm, and only these Suspended Peak people who are burning with passion will die.

“Wang Oulipang…”

The butterfly seemed lost in thought.

"At that time, people did not know the fate of that former king."

"What's the ending?" Yan Huan asked.

"...the fate of being killed by Lord Wan Di," Xia Die explained.

“These people certainly have reason to be indignant now... because Lord Wan Di was once a hero of Suspended Peak City.”

“But he didn’t leave out of cowardice…on the contrary, it was a courageous decision.”

"In this way, the era we live in has become clearer."

Yan Huan strolled around Xuanfeng City again. Unlike Yunshi Market, the most common items sold here were weapons and armor.

"Superior weaponry! Come and see, the sharpest weapon in Suspended Peak City!"

"These are gladiator swords, mace, and round shields personally crafted by the master craftsman Hattonus!"

"Want to slaughter enemies like flies at the Suspended Peak Festival? Come buy the finest weapons from me!"

The weapons dealer was shouting loudly, but there were hardly any people in front of his stall.

Tourists passing by glanced at the weapons and their prices, then wisely walked away.

"Did Hattonus build all of these?"

Yan Huan approached the stall, picked up a sharp sword, and asked:

"It looks pretty ordinary. Are you kidding me?"

"Bullshit!" The arms dealer glared at Yan Huan.

"They're all a bunch of ignorant fools. They don't even want such good weapons. They deserve to be hacked to death at the festival!"
