Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"What's wrong?" Danheng asked.

“There should be military officers from the Youfu here, but they are nowhere to be seen.”

"It's really weird..."

The crow led Danheng forward, and the area grew increasingly cold, making their footsteps sound clearer.

Gradually, they arrived at a site where huge shipping containers were stacked.

"The stacked crates are such an eyesore," said the crow, looking helplessly at the cargo crates piled up to the height of five or six small mountains.

"These boxes look somewhat familiar." Dan Heng couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The crow explained to Dan Heng:

“A few days ago, the underworld messenger received a summons, saying that the company’s transport ship had been attacked by the Bu Li people.”

"Then... a whole bunch of beasts were thrown in here."

"It is likely that there will be unscrupulous people stirring up trouble when the martial arts ceremony is held."

"I've never seen goods thrown into prison along with the robbers before."

"If I remember correctly, these goods should be mechs that resemble the Bu Li Ren in appearance," Dan Heng recalled carefully.

"So that's where it was piled up."

The crow, arms folded, gazed at the cargo crates and sighed:

“I’ve heard of it.”

"The people of the Academy of Broad Knowledge seem to have created something dangerous."

"The records in the Palace of Cause and Effect contain a lot of information about these people. In order to break through the limits of mechanical technology, they always liked to dabble in forbidden research."

"I've seen the mecha in the box; its design is quite similar to that of the Bu Li Ren."

"I really don't know what they're planning to do this time..."

The crow looked at the passageway in the center of the cargo container group. "Business is important, let's go."

"Ah."

The surroundings were so quiet that even the crows felt a little uneasy.

She had only taken a few steps with Danheng when she suddenly realized something and slowly turned around.

In the distance, a cargo box with a gap at the bottom caught the raven's attention.

She gestured for Danheng to stop, then slowly walked towards the cargo box, asking with a puzzled expression:

"Strange, I don't recall ever conducting a secondary inspection of the contained items... Why is this container open?"

The crow approached the half-open cargo container, slowly crouched down, and peered inside.

"!!!"

Several bodies of Netherworld military officers lay here, their fates unknown.

‘Rumble—’

At the same time, the sound of machinery rapidly operating came from above the crow's head.

"Be careful!!"

Dan Heng rushed forward and quickly pulled Han Ya away. The two of them tumbled to the side at high speed.

'Bang--!!'

Several massive mechs landed on the ground, revealing their crimson eyes.

Upon seeing this, the first thing Han Ya did after getting up was to immediately put his hand on his headset, shouting, "Emergency! Military officers, listen to my command! Come to our aid immediately!"

More and more mechs landed, surrounding the two of them.

"This is an emergency! Soldiers, listen up! Come to our aid immediately!"

No matter how many times the crows cried, no voices of any of the Netherworld Martial Officers could be heard through the communication.

"...!" Dan Heng immediately drew his spear and entered combat mode.

……

In a fierce battle to the death, as several water dragons dissipated, the last mech finally succumbed to the strain and collapsed in a sorry state.

Dan Heng, with his dragon horns and flowing hair, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

The crow gazed at the wreckage of the mechs with a solemn expression.

"How is this possible? The underworld officials clearly followed procedure to cut off the power to the machines inside the box and even placed a seal on the outside. Why are these mechs still able to move?!"

Dan Heng pursed his lips, took two steps forward, and his long robe fluttered around him:

"Just like the situation at the Industrial Construction Company, these goods seemed to have gone out of control and attacked everyone present."

"Dan Ding Si has inspected the mecha, and it contains some extraordinary structures inside."

“Yan Huan also mentioned earlier that some of the underworld officials were behaving suspiciously, and it’s possible that someone has actually invaded the Netherworld Prison.”

Dan Heng looked at the paralyzed remains, his expression serious:

"And the people who sent these 'goods' clearly hoped that the strict review process of the Immortal Ship would expose its dangers to the Heavenly Ship Bureau and the Cloud Cavalry."

"What they wanted to make sure was that these crates would be sent to the slum."

Dan Heng looked up at the many shipping containers around him, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The mechs sent to the Dark Prison aren't just those few we just saw; they should be..."

Hearing this, the crow's expression became even more solemn:

"If these things start moving before anyone notices, the current situation in the entire prison will be extremely bad..."

"More importantly, in addition to the two, another group of visitors entered the depths of the prison."

"You have already met; they are the envoys of the Azure Immortal Ship."

"We must contact Mr. Yan Huan as soon as possible."

Chapter 922 I, Hu Hansan, am back!

the other side.

Deep within the prison.

"We've arrived." Xueyi led Jiaoqiu and Moze slowly forward in the dimly lit corridor.

"We've arrived?" Jiaoqiu looked around.

"There aren't any cages here."

Xueyi calmly explained:

“Those who have committed the ten heinous crimes and committed the most heinous crimes are all imprisoned at the bottom of the Netherworld, in a separate cave.”

"It will not be opened unless ordered by imperial decree."

She looked ahead.

"The bluebird clears the way, and the lamp of the dead illuminates the path."

“Once I light these lamps, the path to the bottom of the underworld will be revealed.”

Xueyi began to communicate with the mechanical bird, causing it to fly towards the unlit soul lamps in the air.

Jiaoqiu waited quietly, and in a short while, all the soul lamps in the air were lit.

A massive bronze pillar descended from the sky with a thunderous roar, plunging into the deep pit of the altar in front of it like a key.

As the altar turned like a lock, a passage gradually appeared in the distance.

"Gentlemen, the path has been opened."

"Once you descend to the bottom of the Netherworld, do not make any rash moves."

"clear."

As Xueyi slowly descended the cold stairs, Jiaoqiu gradually sensed an eerie aura.

Here, chains crisscross, and the eerie green lights flicker, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

At the end of the space was a large door enveloped in dark green energy.

"In the cave behind this door lies the great enemy of the fox people, Hu Lei."

Xueyi had just said one sentence when a heart-wrenching scream came from behind the door.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh-!!"

The voice was deep and terrifying, sending chills down your spine even from afar.

Xueyi stood at the door and addressed Jiaoqiu and Moze:

"As is customary, the Yaoqing Envoy arrives at the Luofu Immortal Ship once every hundred years to confirm the imprisonment of this monstrous creature and its life or death status."

"Although the Ten Kings sentenced Hu Lei to the punishment of the Sword Tree of No Return, causing him to suffer every day without end."

"But I understand very well that what you all want to see most is a thunderous death..."

"Unfortunately, all the envoys over the past seven hundred years have returned disappointed; it is an unkillable beast."

Jiaoqiu stared silently at the abyss-like doorway and murmured:

"If the most poisonous substance in the world could be used as medicine to save an innocent life, it might at least be able to atone for the many bloody crimes he has committed."

If Hu Lei's body could be used for research, perhaps...

Just as Jiaoqiu was lost in thought, footsteps suddenly came from behind the three of them.

"huh huh huh huh……"

A man dressed as a Cloud Rider, holding a battle sword, slowly walked over.

"Unfortunately, Yaoqing's envoy will also return disappointed this time, but my brothers and I are different..."
