Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

I hope he did not escape unscathed.

"...It was a truly narrow escape." Xia Die looked at the items Yan Huan had left behind and sighed with emotion.

"Fortunately, Lord Yan Huan accompanied us this time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. However..."

"Don't worry," Danheng explained to Xiadie.

"That's just a soul steel body, it's a consumable item."

"Once Yan Huan is ready, she will return to Onfaros."

"Then I'm relieved." Xia Die breathed a sigh of relief.

If we disregard the damage to the Soul Steel body, then everyone was indeed safe this time.

"If it weren't for Lord Yan Huan's intervention, we would probably have perished in the Tree Garden."

Xia Die whispered:

"Lord Tian has informed Lady Aglaia that you are safe. If Lord Danheng needs any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask."

"Not for now," Danheng said, looking at her.

"In the coming period, the support that the Nameless Guest can provide will be different from what we used to do. If anything happens, we will probably have to rely on the Golden Descendants."

“I understand, Mr. Danheng.” Xia Die nodded.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Xia, who had been silent until now, frowned and said:

"It's so noisy... Ohma is still the same."

Xia Die's gaze fell on Na Ke Xia, and she asked, "...Are you Na Ke Xia teacher now?"

“No doubt about it.” At that moment, Xia crossed his arms. “The Titan is silent now. It is me, Anaxxramas of the School of the Wise.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Die nodded slightly, "...It is indeed me who calls myself that."

"Teacher, I'll be frank."

"..."

"Lady Aglaia's task for us is to find the survivors, find out the cause of the Tree Garden disaster, and... recover the embers of Cesis."

"Hmm." Xia's face remained expressionless at that moment.

“I am not surprised at all.”

"As you can see, I am both a survivor and someone who knows the whole story of the catastrophe. I carry a spark within me, yet I am utterly powerless to resist..."

"So, you're going to report me to Aglaya?"

Xia Die sighed, "That's my duty."

“But I do not want to hand you over to her as a prisoner or as spoils of war.”

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you." Xia's expression was indifferent at that moment. "I don't object to you meeting that woman."

"But before that, I have some things to take care of."

"Several of Shuting's colleagues have family members living in the Holy City. I would like to visit them before meeting with Aglaia."

"Why before meeting Aglaia?" Danheng asked.

“Because… Lady Aglaia probably won’t allow it.” Xia Die said with great regret.

"Heh." Xia sneered at that moment.

"I bet she'll not only refuse to let me offer my condolences to the deceased's family, but she'll also block any news about Shuting. That woman is just that cold-blooded."

"But... can she really block it? The commotion in the Tree Court is so big, the people here aren't blind."

At that moment, Xia looked at Dan Heng:

"That guy's name is Yan Huan, right? That level of attack would kill even a Titan."

"I can't help but wonder... what did you guys do before?"

"You'll understand in time."

At that moment, Xia continued:

"In short, some of Shuting's friends sacrificed their lives to defend the flame and fight against the Black Tide with me. Their families... have the right to know all of this."

Xia Die asked with some concern, "Are you planning to act first and then inform me later?"

At that moment Xia said in a deep voice:

"Even if I don't cause any trouble and just honestly go and pledge my loyalty to that woman, will she treat me well?"

"I'm not afraid to vent my anger on her face."

"Are you going to stop me, Xia Die?"

Faced with her former mentor's questioning, Xia Die thought for a moment and then had her answer.

"...I will go with you."

"But you must also understand that Lady Aglaia has her own considerations."

Na Kexia seemed to have expected this answer. "Heh, putting yourself in her shoes, you really are cut out for studying."

"Let's go, I'll keep things in line."

At that moment, Xia looked at Danheng again, "And you?"

"After all, your companion saved my life, so he's my benefactor."

"Would you like to come with us?"

"Alright," Danheng nodded. "As long as you don't mind."

For some reason, when Dan Heng followed that Xia, he always felt that Aglaia was like Jing Yuan from the past.

As a leader, one must always remain rational and make decisions that are in the best interests of one's people.

But there are always exceptions...

Chapter 1283 Of course it was sacrificed

"Teacher, after all these years, you and Lady Aglaia are still..."

"Hmph, neither of us are petty people. You should know the root of the conflict very well."

With the guidance of Xia Die, a local, Na Ke Xia quickly found her first target.

This is a woman with a gentle expression.

"Gentlemen, who are you...?"

At that moment, Xia looked at her and said, "Hello, if I remember correctly, you are Kalinicus's wife."

"Yes." The woman smiled. "Oh, are you the messenger? Oh dear, I was wondering why the message was so late. It turns out it was a different person."

Xia's expression remained calm at that moment.

"Madam, Kalinicus sacrificed himself a few days ago while fighting against the Black Tide in order to protect the Tree Garden."

"...?" The woman was stunned.

It took him a while to react. His expression remained neither happy nor sad. Seeing Xia's serious expression at that moment, he asked calmly:

"So, Shuting...did he hold on?"

“Yes, he swore to protect the flame of Sersis with his life,” Naksha replied.

"..."

"understood."

The woman nodded heavily.

"I will choose a day to sort out his belongings and pick a good grave for him."

Xia Die felt a pang of pity:

"...Madam, please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."

The woman simply shook her head gently. "I am a man of the edge; death, sacrifice... I can face them all with equanimity."

“Kalinicus… Although he was a scholar, every time he came back to visit me, he would ask me for martial arts advice.”

"Isn't it ridiculous? A member of the Golden Clan actually learning skills from an ordinary person like me."

Her voice gradually turned sorrowful.

"I was already mentally prepared... In this era, every ordinary farewell could be a final goodbye."

At that moment, Xia said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for." The woman turned around and looked at the distant horizon.

Crimson specks of light still lingered above the distant clouds.

"I was a soldier... and I will eventually return to the battlefield."

"Now, a new king is about to descend upon the Suspended Peak."

"I will use my spear to avenge my husband against the Black Tide monsters."

After saying goodbye to the woman, Na Kexia found a thin old man.

The old man saw the three of them and said with a faint smile:

"Hello, young people. What can I do for old Fabel?"

At that moment, Xia's expression remained calm. "Are you the father of Kunane and Atacama?"

"Oh dear, yes." The old man nodded quickly, looking slightly troubled. "What trouble have my two daughters gotten into at school again—"

"Oh dear, look at me, I'm getting senile."

The old man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My two promising daughters have already graduated and are now scholars at Shuting!"
