Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Bai E and Gou Shun were thus left behind.

"Speaking of which, brother, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

Bai E glanced at the tall, obese body beside him and smiled faintly:

“Brother Danheng and his servants have been looking for you for a long time, and they’ve posted all sorts of missing animal notices.”

"To be honest, after so long without any news, I thought you had already perished..."

"How is that possible?" The Earth Beast lowered its head and held up a sign.

At this moment, Gou Shun was filthy, covered in mud.

Bai E was startled, and casually picked off a piece of black mud from its scales to examine it closely.

"?"

"Wait, could this be silt from the Kuroshio Current?"

He suddenly looked up.

"Gou Shun...you...you haven't been corrupted by the Kuroshio Current, have you?"

'Your brain seems to be polluted too.' Earth Beast held up a sign.

Bai E: “…”

"So, what exactly did you go to do?"

In response to Bai E's question, the Earth Beast gripped a thorn-like pen with its fingernails and wrote on the sign:

'Fighting the fire-stealers...'

"?" Bai E was very shocked.

"real or fake?"

Does this guy know martial arts?

The sounds of other councilors discussing could be heard not far away.

"How absurd! The status of the Golden Descendants was granted by the Senate, yet they don't cherish it!"

"Heh, that white-haired guy and the earth beast are waiting here, they probably don't have good intentions either."

"..."

Noticing the gazes of those councilors, Bai Er couldn't help but sigh.

Through the covert efforts of Katniss's faction, the Golden Blood have been portrayed as ruthless villains with treacherous ambitions and a thirst for power.

But who knew that while these councilors were enjoying their lives in the city, the Golden Generation was working hard outside.

If it weren't for me, Wan Di, and Yan Huan going to Xuanfeng City last time to destroy the Heavenly Punishment Blade, that invincible giant sword would probably have smashed down on the gates of Ohma City.

"It's been a long time, hero."

While Bai E was still in a daze, an old man came up to him.

"Hmm? Hello, Lord Clatrus."

"Quiet down." Clatrus stared sharply at the senator in the distance.

"See those hyenas with fake smiles? They're all Katniss's men doing the dirty work."

Chapter 1360 The Debate Begins

“I will instruct my people to hold them back, but don’t make a scene. Unless you want to get physical and have a real fight.”

“I understand.” Bai’er nodded. “So, what happened?”

Clatrus looked at the two of them seriously and said in a deep voice:

Did you hear thunder last night?

"I heard that. I thought it was Yan Huan and his brother fighting again. Could there be something else going on?" Bai E asked curiously.

"Yes."

Clatterus explained:

"Thunder is the beacon of strife; it's a message from the young master."

"He threw a messenger javelin at Ohma with only a few words on it."

"—The fire thief has reignited; beware."

Upon hearing this, Bai E's expression turned solemn.

"Sure enough, although I don't know why, he was resurrected again."

“Yes.” Kratrus nodded.

"You should know this: the Suspended Peak people will never back down. If you need to fight, come to me anytime."

“Yes, I’m very grateful.” Bai’er nodded. “Although I already knew about this.”

"Huh?" Kratrus was somewhat taken aback.

"why is that?"

"Could it be... that you sent people to Xuanfeng City to investigate?"

“No.” Bai E looked at the dirty earth beast beside him and explained:

“It’s this brother… oh no, sister, she just happened to be returning from Suspended Peak City. To be honest, she was with Wan Di the whole time and brought back a lot of Suspended Peak City’s treasures.”

"It's hard to imagine that she has such courage."

"After all, even the soldiers guarding the city don't dare to go too far now."

“Earth Beast…” Kratrus looked up and curiously examined Gou Shun.

"It's really strange."

"Wait... could this be the one those two heroes have been searching for?"

"Yes." Bai E nodded.

"Gou Shun is very intelligent. He not only went to Xuanfeng City, but also came back safely."

"She also brought back news that Wan Di had been killed 14 times by the Fire Stealers..."

"?"

"Is this true?" Kratrus's eyes widened.

The current Wan Di has inherited the power of conflict and is a true demigod most skilled in combat.

But even so, could they not hold out against the fire-stealers?

"This is truly terrible news."

Clatrus sighed:

"What exactly is that fire-stealer? What terrible things have we, the surviving humans, done to deserve this torture?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency," Bai'er reassured him.

"Now that Brother Yan Huan has returned, although the Fire Thief can be resurrected, he still can't defeat us."

"With us in the city, at least Ohm will be safe."

“That’s true…” Kratrus nodded slightly.

He was well aware of the nameless guests' strength; even his own young master had praised them highly.

"But now there is a problem."

Clatrus looked at Bai Er and Gou Shun, and said in a deep voice:

"Besides voting on whether to continue the fire-chasing journey, this citizens' assembly also includes a proposal on whether to expel the two strangers..."

"What does this mean?" Bai E was completely bewildered.

The opposition to the Fire Chasing Journey was understandable because Aglaia's control over all matters in the Holy City affected the interests of the elders of Kaines's faction.

But what is the logic behind expelling two outsiders, Yan Huan and Dan Heng?

"There are rumors that the Golden Bloodline was misled by two strangers, which is why they have made so many wrong decisions," Kratrus said solemnly.

"The Tree Court has fallen, the Oronis Fire has been seized, and resources have been wasted to save a messenger who is powerless and worthless."

“During this period, that venomous woman Katniss has been making frequent unusual moves.”

"Her shady henchmen are appearing in the city more and more frequently, and there's even a tendency for them to turn against the Suspended Peak Men..."

Suddenly, a large number of dissenting voices erupted from the meeting room at the back.

"Get off the stage! Get off the stage! Get off the stage!"

"Get out of here, Kaneki!"

"The Golden Generation is a bunch of liars!"

"Fabricating divine pronouncements is a capital offense!!"

"???" Bai E suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the parliament.

"Hehe, it seems I don't need to say anything more." Kratrus shrugged.

Bai'er took a deep breath and quickly said goodbye to Kratrus:

“Let’s go back and take a look, Lord Clatrus. Thank you for your intelligence.”

A man and a beast hurried towards the meeting venue. Not far away, Laigushi, as a [divine audience member], was announcing:

"By the grace of Cephallus and Tarantun, in the name of the divine audience, I have seen—"

“The upright citizen of Ohma, the White of Arimitshe, and the earth beast Hushun are coming toward us.”

"..." Bai E frowned slightly, and led the earth beast past Lai Gu Shi, quickly arriving at Aglaia's side.

"Aglaia! What happened?"
