Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“???” Seele’s eyes widened:

"That man is dead, and you're not concerned about whether he lives or dies, but rather how to explain it to Yan Huan?!"

"Uh...isn't that wrong?"

The white-haired girl scratched her head, embarrassed, and said:

"Let me tell you, I don't know if Bishop Otto is liked by others, but I personally... don't like him at all."

"Back then, I sneaked out of the museum to catch fish because I didn't want to be with him, and I was feeling uneasy about it."

Seele sat down next to Kiana:

"I see. I don't like men who seem perfect on the surface either, because those kinds of people must have another side that no one knows about."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Kiana looked curiously at the older sister next to her:

Did you visit the museum yesterday?

Xier shook her head:

"No, it's because some bespectacled woman sent a bunch of photos and videos of that person to everyone she knows. My phone kept ringing yesterday, it was so annoying."

"...That's it."

"Otherwise what? I don't go to the upper floors very often."

"By the way, the captain said there's a huge gap between the rich and poor on the upper and lower decks. Is that really true?"

"Hmph, I guess so! So what if you have money? Even if I didn't have much money, I could still live just fine in the lower districts."

"Um...may I ask your name? My name is Kiana."

"Oh, my name is Seele."

"..."

"what happened?"

"It's alright, I had more or less guessed it."

Seele smiled and flicked the scythe beside her with one finger:

"Want to have a fight with me? I haven't met a decent opponent in a long time. I can't beat Yan Huan, but I think we can have a little spar."

"No," Kiana refused outright.

"I've been AFK for a while while chatting with you, and now the enemy team is almost at the crystal."

"? Then why are you still chatting? When I'm playing games, I never let my fingers stop."

"Yes, but this number isn't mine, so I don't need to be in such a hurry."

"Whose is that?"

"his."

"..."

Suddenly, several Iron Guard officers broke away from the distant ranks and hurriedly ran towards them.

He ran while shouting:

"Be careful, be careful! Mr. Danheng said that the presence of a Star Core Hunter here has been confirmed, and this person is very dangerous. He told us to retreat immediately!"

"!!!"

……

Chapter 159 Wow, he's such a closet pervert!

"See, I knew it! We must have run into a Star Core Hunter!!"

The caravan leader immediately puffed out his chest, beaming with pride: "Officer Jepard, please protect us!"

"Don't worry, we're here to protect your safety!"

Jepard had just finished comforting the caravan leader when he ran to the officer and asked:

"What is a Star Core Hunter? Is it very powerful? I don't usually use my phone much."

The legionary scratched his helmet and replied:

"Actually, I don't know either. How many of us who are guards keep up with the times and go online? But Mr. Danheng is here too, and he looks quite serious."

"Danheng? Did he come in person?"

"Yes, I'm in the team now."

Soon, the officer brought Jepard to him.

Just as the officer had said, Dan Heng's expression was extremely solemn as he tried his best to persuade the guards to leave.

"Mr. Danheng, you really came."

Jepard stepped forward to meet him.

Dan Heng's expression remained grave, and even upon seeing Jepard, he still advised him to retreat:

"Commander Jepard, you've come at just the right time. Now lead the Iron Guard to protect the caravan on its return journey. The enemy is very likely lurking around!"

“Oh? Returning home is no problem, but... Mr. Danheng, you don’t seem to be planning to come back with us.”

At this moment, Dan Heng was in a fierce mood, gripping his spear tightly, looking like he was going to stay and fight.

He simply said in a deep voice:

“He might be after me, and I don’t want to drag you down with me.”

Hearing this, Jepard looked up:

“That won’t do. You are Belloberg’s benefactor. How could we let you put yourself in danger alone?”

He surveyed the densely packed group of Iron Guards around him:

“We, the Bellobergs, are by no means ungrateful! If our benefactors are in trouble, we will certainly do our utmost to help them!”

Dan Heng shook his head, his face grim, and said:

"No, it's useless. A large number of people poses no threat to him; on the contrary, it will cause many unnecessary sacrifices."

Jepard was genuinely taken aback.

Even Dan Heng said that, so just how terrifying is the opponent's strength?

The strongest fighter Jepard had ever seen was Yan, followed by the wanderer who had fused with the star core.

Although Jepard didn't experience it firsthand in the Upper Zone, he heard from Pera that the guy was particularly troublesome and could even transform humans into Rift creatures.

Oh no, if you calculate it this way...

The woman who punched that guy should be ranked ahead of him.

“Mr. Danheng, it seems the situation has become very serious.” Jepard’s expression also gradually turned grim.

"In that case, let's contact the executive officer. I believe that with his help, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"

"Do not."

Dan Heng shook his head again.

"I want to face him alone. You could say this is my personal grudge."

"This……"

Danheng's words immediately put Jepard in a difficult position.

He's going to have a one-on-one fight with that Star Core Hunter.

By the way, aren't the Star Core Hunters from another planet too?

If they really did chase after Mr. Danheng and ended up with Ariello, then how deep must their hatred be?

"Hey, Danheng." Xi'er walked over with a scythe in hand and a cold face.

She said in a deep voice:

"I remember you said before that you were part of the Star Train, right?"

Dan Heng nodded silently.

Seele continued:

"In that case, you don't have to take our help, but Yan and March 7th are your companions. When necessary, using their strength is the embodiment of team spirit, isn't it?"

Jepard suddenly understood and quickly echoed:

“Yes, Mr. Danheng, if you always have to shoulder everything yourself, then you don’t treat your friends as friends.”

Ke Danheng shook his head again:

"It is precisely because they are friends and partners that I do not want to put them in danger."

"Huh? Can't we tell them?"

Suddenly, Kiana, who was squatting on the ground, raised her hand and awkwardly picked up her phone:

"But I've already told him everything."

Dan Heng: "..."

"Alright." Xi'er walked over to Danheng and patted him on the shoulder:

"Now that everyone knows, don't try to shoulder this alone. Who knows, after we leave, if you stay here, he might just bypass you and come looking for us to take your orders?"

“That’s right.” Jepard stepped forward and said seriously:

"If he's the enemy, then we have no choice but to fight! How about this: let the executive officer open the gate and send the caravan and the guards back, leaving just a few of us to face him alone. This way, we can reduce unnecessary casualties."

When Jepard said this, everyone except Danheng thought it was a good idea.

But Kiana nervously raised her hand again:

"Well, the captain said it's not his turn to work today. He'll just leave it as is and won't waste so much energy opening a large-scale teleportation portal. At most, he'll open a small portal and have everyone line up to go through."
