Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Brother Yan Huan, we need to calm down first." Hearing the words of the cleansers, Bai E became wary.

"The fact that they dare to step out of the shadows means that they have enough leverage to deter us."

He looked at the large group of cleaners and questioned them:

"Tell me about it."

What cards are you holding?

"However, you must be very careful with your words and avoid saying the wrong thing."

As he spoke, Bai'e pulled out a white iron greatsword, its sharp blade reflecting the silhouettes of the Cleansers.

Ultimately, these people are still mortals and have no ability to fight against the Golden Descendants.

During the Golden Age, if quality couldn't keep up, quantity had to be made up for.

But clearly, there weren't many of these purgers coming to the treehouse, and they posed no threat to Bai'e at all.

He could kill these guys right now if he wanted to.

……

the other side.

Ohma district, Twilight Courtyard branch.

At this moment, Tibo and Feng Jin were standing here, chatting leisurely.

"My memory of the Cleaners seems a bit hazy..." Tibo scratched her head sheepishly.

"But basically, as Tining and Aya said, there's not much to add."

"I see." Feng Jin nodded with a smile.

"I just ran into them with Huanbao last time we were out, and I'm a little bothered by it."

"I never expected that even today, they would still harbor resentment towards us."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's get back to our previous topic."

"Mm." Tibo nodded, then found a stool, sat down, and closed her eyes.

"Let me think about it..."

"Oh, I remember that's the fifth section of the third volume of 'Hanging Edge and Sky'—"

"The Thunder Knight Seneos's strike down the Eye of Dawn and Dusk marks the end of the long, century-long divine war between Nicardoli and Aegler..."

"After that... the Sky People gradually declined, many Sky Fortresses were abandoned, and their descendants began to take root on the earth to survive..."

"Finally, the family that inherited the title of Sunlight Knight Seneos was accepted by the scholars of Sersis and built the Twilight Courtyard in the Tree Garden."

Tibo opened her eyes and was suddenly surprised.

"Eh?"

"I always feel that the historical records are slightly different from what we remember..."

"But I can't remember the specific details."

She looked at Feng Jin apologetically, "I'm sorry."

“No.” Feng Jin shook her head gently.

“I almost forgot… For Teacher Tibo, history is not just the words on a book, but also the era you personally experienced.”

"der! der!!" The little sprite flying beside Feng Jin also called out.

"Hehe." Feng Jin looked at the little guy, "Little Ika still really likes listening to these legends and stories."

"You must also imagine that one day you can be as majestic as the winged beasts beside the hero Seneos, right?"

"That day will come, I believe! As long as you grow up well..."

At this time, little Ika looked like a chubby little horse that hadn't grown up yet, with wise eyes.

Its two small white wings on its back flapped constantly, allowing it to float in the air.

This creature is somewhat like the unicorn of folklore, but Little Ika looks like it's in its juvenile stage.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming harmonious, footsteps could be heard from not far away.

Feng Jin, Tibo, and Little Ika looked over upon hearing the sound and discovered that the newcomer was Kratos.

"Lord Clatrus... is there anything I can help you with?" Feng Jin asked.

Chapter 1438 Do you really dare to come up?

Clatterus breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were safe and sound.

"Miss Feng Jin... and Lady Tibo, it's good that you're alright."

“I heard from a citizen that you were nearby, so I came to check it out.”

"Are you... alright?" Tibbo caught the key word. "What happened, Clatrus?"

Upon hearing this, Clatrus sighed.

"Another serious security incident has occurred at the market. Some shops have been vandalized and looted. This is the seventh time this week."

Feng Jin was somewhat surprised. "This week? Today...isn't it just Monday?"

“Yes, it happened seven times today.” Kratrus blinked.

Feng Jin: "..."

"How...did it develop like this?"

“I always thought that as long as Lady Aglaia was there, Ohmma would always remain peaceful and stable…”

“That was indeed the case in the past.” Kratrus looked troubled.

“But lately…forgive my bluntness, but her senses are probably not as sharp as they used to be.”

"Even though the telegrams from the two nameless guests relieved a lot of her stress, her golden thread still loosened."

"It's likely that someone with malicious intent noticed the anomaly and began plotting a scheme to muddy the waters of Ohma!"

Tibbo was incredulous. She stood up and looked out into the courtyard:

"The citizens' assembly just ended not long ago... why would anyone want to cause trouble?"

"Xiao Huan's abilities shouldn't allow them to question the voting results..."

The ability to alter a person's spirit or even their thoughts, regardless of location, is terrifying.

It is often used far more widely than direct force.

They could even occupy Ohmma without firing a single shot, turning all the citizens into puppets praising the monarchy.

"The citizens certainly don't doubt their choice, but it's a different story for those [the purgers]."

Clatrus said in a deep voice:

"They won't doubt it, but they will regret it."

"To be honest, even though the Fire Chasing Journey was approved by the Citizens' Assembly, it was still a Pyrrhic victory."

"The defeats suffered by Ms. Aglaia and His Excellency Baier at the meeting will be etched in the hearts of the citizens."

"Based on my years of experience in warfare, Pyrrhic victories and turmoil often go hand in hand..."

"For safety's sake, I think it's still necessary to urgently recall Lord Yan Huan and revise the citizens' will once again..."

Tibo felt a little sorry for this.

"Wouldn't that be a bit too much?"

Kratrus said helplessly:

"There is no other way."

"Now only Aigle remains to be defeated. If any further trouble arises in the Holy City, it could become an undeserved disaster."

"At this juncture, I think we can temporarily set aside the issue of human rights..."

Objectively speaking, Kratrus's proposal was not inappropriate at all, and was even quite rational.

Currently, the only remaining enemies on the Fire Chaser's Journey are Aigle, the Black Tide, and the Fire Thieves. Once the internal situation of the Holy City is stabilized, they can focus on external threats.

Clatterus was genuinely anxious that he didn't take the easy way out when there was one.

"Alas, perhaps I was too hasty," Kratrus sighed.

Citizens won't remember that their thoughts have been altered; the restrictions can be lifted later.

In Kratrus's view, even the elders or the purgers were no exception.

They were no match for Yan Huan's mental manipulation; with just a little more ruthlessness, those enemies could even become the fighting force guarding the Holy City…

What excellent military strategy!

In the numerous battles of Onphalus, low morale was always the biggest challenge.

"Something terrible has happened!!" Suddenly, a doctor rushed in:

"My lords, something terrible has happened at Yunshi Heavenly Palace!"

"What's the matter, Doctor?" Kratrus asked reassuringly.

"Calm down and recount what happened!"

The doctor named Clementine looked distressed and choked up as she said:

"Lady Aglaia... has been attacked!"

"What?!" Clatrus rushed over and questioned Clementine:

"Where are her guards? Who attacked her? The Cleansers...?!"

"With the golden blood in her veins, how could it be..."

"How is she now?!"
