Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Upon hearing this, the young man stared intently at the gold bar in Sai Feier's hand, somewhat tempted.

He worked in the holy city for half a year, and he didn't even know if his wages could be exchanged for a gold bar like this.

"And besides, you're not the only one among those so-called 'sober-up' people, are you?"

Sai Fei'er smiled calmly.

"You just happened to run into the Savior Boy."

“If you don’t intend to help, he will naturally go to the next one; there will always be someone who realizes their mistake.”

"The one who gains wealth and honor then will not be you."

"Perhaps... you'll be thrown into jail by the guards for your bad behavior? I don't even want to think about what the future holds."

"Tell me... why do this?"

Looking into Sai Fei'er's compassionate eyes, the young man said nervously:

"Jail? Are you kidding me..."

"I didn't do anything, why should I go to jail?!"

"You say you didn't do anything, so you really didn't do anything?" Sai Fei'er tilted her head.

How can we trust you?

"Maybe you're the one who poisoned those wounded patients, which is why you're so uncooperative, isn't it?"

"No, I didn't!" The young man's face turned from red to green, fearing that he would really go to jail.

Chapter 1488 An Ordinary Ancient Scholar

"Rumble--"

At the same time, the sky above Ohma suddenly darkened.

The outline of a massive fortress descended from the clouds and came into view of the citizens.

"What's that?" someone asked, looking up.

"UFO."

"It might be Piccolo Daimaou, who knows?"

Outside the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, upon hearing the rumbling sound in the sky, Dan Heng also came out to investigate.

He looked up at the sky, staring at the strange outline, and his first thought was... could it be that the train crew's support had arrived?

While Yan Huan and I were liberating Weng Faros, the remaining people must have been taking action as well.

"Huh? That looks like the Eye of Dawn and Dusk." Feng Jin, standing to the side, opened her bright, watery eyes and said to Dan Heng:

"Its altitude seems to be constantly decreasing, and it's even falling out of the clouds."

The massive sky fortress, the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, suddenly plummeted; something must have happened on it.

After a moment's thought, Danheng said to Craterus behind him:

"Lord Kratrus..."

"Stop, halt." Kratrus raised his hand, interrupting Danheng's next words.

"Lord Danheng, I know I am highly capable, but you can't call on me for everything..."

The elderly man, with his arms folded, looked helplessly at Dan Heng and Feng Jin.

"The new elders we've supported also have a lot of power. I'm a military general; aside from matters of maintaining order within the city or waging war, I'm really not suited for it..."

"It's one thing to be appointed in a time of crisis, but you can't expect me to handle everything."

"Eh? Lord Clatrus wasn't omnipotent before?" Feng Jin asked, somewhat surprised.

“Please, I’m not Lady Aglaia,” Kratrus sighed.

"You've misunderstood me, Lord Kratrus," Danheng said awkwardly.

"What I really wanted to say was that the Sky Fortress's current height might be enough to connect to the signal in Ohma City."

"We can message Yan Huan now..."

“If he were here, this strange epidemic shouldn’t be a problem.”

……

In the alley.

Wearing a helmet and bulletproof vest, carrying a large backpack, Lai Gushi crouched behind the wall, carefully observing the enemy situation.

Beside him, Yan Huan, dressed in the same equipment, stood there nonchalantly, calmly rummaging through the enemy's supplies.

“Lord Yan Huan, stop looting the bag, there are footsteps nearby…” Lai Gushi turned around and reminded him.

"I didn't lick it, I didn't lick it." Yan Huan said to Lai Gushi while stuffing the spoils into her bag:

"I was just looking to see if I had any medicine, I'm out of medicine..."

"Is that so? But you're using a healing character, aren't you?"

At the dome of the Sky Fortress.

Lai Gushi put down his phone and calmly said to Yan Huan:

"Furthermore, those were all enemies I defeated. Your actions of searching their spoils while I was healing them were rather tactless."

"No, my armor broke, so I was just checking if the armor in their bag still had any durability left." Yan Huan revealed a simple and innocent smile, just like Ding Zhen.

"Then why... is the value of your loot after the game always several times that of mine?" Laigushi questioned.

"Maybe I was just lucky." Yan Huan scratched her head.

Sometimes, when luck comes, nothing can stop it.

Bored on the Sky Fortress, Yan Huan simply lowered the height of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk so that the signal devices above and below could overlap.

Lai Gushi looked at Yan Huan and felt a surge of annoyance.

"Alas, you need not test me any further."

“I am just a nobody from Antikythera, and I am certainly not the mastermind you think I am.”

“Watching over the sky is indeed a great feat, and I sincerely admire your choice.”

"But what is the meaning of imprisoning me here as well?"

"I'm so bored, can't I find someone to keep me company?" Yan Huan shrugged and asked Lai Gushi curiously.

"Isn't playing games with heroes your lifelong dream?"

"Or are you also a lackey of the Zhu Huo opposition, pretending to be a loyal subject all along?"

"No, Your Excellency Yan Huan... I am certainly not the kind of person you think I am."

Lai Gushi slowly rose to his feet, his expression calm:

"I'm just worried that things might change if we delay."

"Now that we have gathered all twelve seeds of fire, we should immediately have Lord Bai E begin preparations for the re-creation of the world."

"The retreat of the Black Tide may only be temporary, and the Fire Stealers are very likely to make a comeback."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps we should..."

"What's your hurry?" Yan Huan glanced at Lai Gushi, picked up the orange juice from the side, and took a sip.

"The Black Tide and the Fire Stealers are just roadside creatures. Don't you like the peace and quiet you have now?"

"After fighting for thousands of years, you're getting impatient? I haven't seen you make any contributions to the history of Onphalus."

“That’s not how it should be said,” Lagushi retorted.

"My contributions may not have been outstanding, but among the elders, I am still quite responsible compared to others."

"As the saying goes... mediocrity is a blessing, isn't it?"

"Very well, mediocre, is that all?" Yan Huan smiled slightly, then snapped her fingers, and the entire Sky Fortress was suddenly released from its confinement.

"Alright, something just happened down there, so you can stay here and watch over the sky."

"I've embedded Aegler's body into the Celestial Painting. You don't need to do anything; just stay here and stand guard."

"As a good elder who cares about the people, you shouldn't refuse, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to take turns with you later."

"..."

"So be it." Lai Gushi said calmly.

"Although I don't know why you doubt me so much, I have always had a clear conscience."

“Providing a protective canopy for all citizens is also a good deed; you may leave it to me.”

"In addition, please give my suggestions a lot of consideration and complete 'Re-creation' as soon as possible."

"I know, I know……"

……

Ohma City.

An unnamed guest was bathing in the palace.

Yan Huan stared thoughtfully at the patient whose skin was covered in rashes and who was writhing in pain.

"emmmm..."

"Who's behind this stunt now?"

He raised his hand and began treating the patient under the watchful eyes of Feng Jin and Dan Heng.

Soon, the abnormal phenomena on that person disappeared quickly, and he returned to his healthy state.

"Ah, I'm all better!"
