Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of white light appeared, and the captain of the Cleaners was decapitated.

Looking at the bright red blood on the sword, Bai E felt a mix of emotions.

"To dare to use citizens' lives as a threat... that crosses the line."

If killing one more purger can prevent one less innocent citizen from being persecuted, then there should be no hesitation.

"Well done." Yan Huan nodded in approval.

"I thought you would advise me to arrest them instead of stabbing them."

"That would be pointless." Bai E shook his head and sighed.

“These cleansers are the embodiment of evil. Eliminating them will ensure the safety of the rest of us.”

“From the moment they threatened Aglaia with the lives of her citizens to force her to commit suicide, they were no longer the people I was meant to protect.”

"Their counterattack this time is probably a desperate gamble..."

"I suspect the opposition in the Senate is making a desperate struggle to obstruct the fire."

……

Back in Ohma.

Bai E looked at the atmosphere in the city and felt somewhat surprised.

The place was completely silent, the usual laughter and chatter gone.

Every household stayed indoors... All the shops in the market were temporarily closed.

When the two arrived at the Cloud Stone Palace, Dan Heng also rushed back.

"You're back too." Danheng looked at the two of them. "So, did you find anything else?"

“No.” Bai’e shook his head. “The specific situation is just as we discussed on the communication stone tablet, there is nothing to add.”

He looked at Craterus beside him and asked:

"Lord Clatrus, you were in the city when it happened. What exactly happened...?"

“I’m sorry, I arrived later.” Kratrus shook his head.

“However, Mr. Yan Huan, Lady Tibo requests your presence.”

"They are currently at the Golden Baths, and no one except the Golden Descendants is allowed to enter or leave."

"Huh? Me?" Yan Huan pointed to herself.

"That's fine."

Without thinking twice, he immediately headed towards the bathhouse.

Chapter 1441 Add some firewood to me!

About ten minutes passed.

Yan Huan posted news of Aglaia's death on Onfaros's social media account.

"She's dead. From now on, you're the boss of Ohmma." Yan Huan stepped down from the golden bath, casually casting a halo around Aglaia beside her.

'Puff--'

The wire-like tentacles at the bottom of the aperture pierced Aglaia's forehead, causing golden blood to gush out uncontrollably.

Aglaya: "..."

"Aglaia is obviously alive, isn't she?!" Bai'er's eyes widened.

"Brother Yan Huan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"It means exactly what it says, that he has abdicated." Yan Huan dragged over a corpse, transformed it into Aglaia's likeness, and tossed it aside.

"What if only Katniss suffers while Aglaia remains unscathed, and the citizens think the Golden Clan is plotting to eliminate dissidents?"

“I see…” Bai’e looked at Aglaia.

At this moment, everyone in the bathing palace except for the Golden Descendant and Danheng had been sent away, clearly to announce the news of Aglaia's death.

He asked the silent Aglaia:

“Aglaia…you really trust me to…”

“I’m not at ease,” Aglaia said succinctly.

Bai E: “…”

Aglaia: "But I have lost all my humanity and am no longer qualified to lead the people..."

She raised her head, gazing at the magnificent dome of the Cloud Stone Palace, and said in a deep voice:

"A thousand years... I have witnessed the fall of ten Titans."

"From being initially spoiled and ignorant, to gradually finding her way to guide others..."

She glanced at everyone present and gave a faint smile.

"Now... it's time to let go."

“I should be grateful… grateful that I am still alive and have waited for this moment—so that my departure can be used as a long staircase for you all.”

……

About an hour passed.

News of Aglaia's death finally spread throughout the city.

At first, the citizens only learned that assassins had attacked the Golden Baths and that the battle was fierce.

Unexpectedly, Aglaia died as a result.

The city's residents were initially worried about encountering assassins on the streets, so they all stayed indoors.

But upon learning of Aglaia's death, they immediately flew into a rage and took to the streets armed with weapons.

Outside the residential area, people from house to house were carrying pots and pans, helping the city guards search for the assassin's whereabouts.

"Damn it, those rich bastards actually dared to lay a hand on Lady Aglaia!!"

"Kill them!!"

"Avenge Lady Agrea!!"

Outside the Marble Heavenly Palace.

Kratrus was still incredibly shocked.

"What……?!"

"I never imagined that Lady Aglaia would actually fall victim to such a heinous act!"

He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth at the group of assassins.

"Those rats in the ditches! I will eradicate them!"

"My heroes, the blows you have suffered are probably much greater than mine. Go and rest!"

Clatrus waved his hand:

"I will stay here and lead the guards to maintain order."

"But please don't be depressed for too long. Aglaia is gone, and someone must take her place to lead Ohma."

"correct."

He sighed and said, quite annoyed:

"Thanks to the treatment from the physician of the Dim Light Courtyard, Katniss seems to be still alive."

"Once she wakes up, please don't let him get away with it!"

"Hmm." Bai E nodded slightly, her feelings complicated.

Kratrus is not of the Golden Clan, and while concealing the truth from him is somewhat cruel, it is a necessary measure.

Only when the guards believe it can the authenticity of all this be increased.

The people, filled with overwhelming anger, would no longer be easily provoked by the assassins.

"No, someone else rescued Katniss?" Yan Huan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why would they save just anyone?"

"Perhaps it's the benevolent heart of the healers in the dimly lit courtyard." Clatrus shrugged.

“Kines knows a lot of things; we might be able to get more useful information by interrogating her.”

Although it didn't cause any serious consequences, leading a large number of assassins to force Aglaia to her death was, in Yan Huan's view, the most heinous act.

The mastermind, Katniss, must be severely punished and publicly shamed.

This matter should also be handled by Bai E, which would be a good opportunity to boost his popularity in his succession.

"Let's meet up with Feng Jin first," Bai E said to Yan Huan.

Inside a room in the Marble Palace, Feng Jin stood quietly by the bed, gazing at Katniss lying on the sickbed, her feelings a complex mix.

This is the guy who orchestrated all the conspiracies.

She is clearly a member of humanity, yet she has stirred up internal troubles amidst external threats.

It's absolutely hateful.

"Feng Jin...are you alright?"

As soon as Bai E stepped through the door, he saw Feng Jin's complicated expression and couldn't help but ask her a question with concern.

"I'm fine." Feng Jin smiled at Bai E.

“After the incident, I stayed with Tibbo and Teacher Tinning. I didn’t treat Katniss… I just came to check on her first.”

"Although I was really saddened to hear of Ms. Aglaia's death... even though she was a stand-in."

Feng Jin felt heavy-hearted:
