Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"It is interesting."

Hu Lei looked at Mo Du:

"Medu, is everything he said true?"

Modu took a deep breath and had no choice but to tell the truth.

"...He wasn't lying."

"That was a war slave who escaped from a hunting herd, a cannon fodder, a thief!"

"She stole our power and, relying on her understanding of the Buli people, used every despicable means in the war—"

Hu Lei's gaze was deep, and he seemed to have a certain idea of ​​what was going on.

“She defeated you, Mordu. Injustice is an excuse for the dead and the losers.”

"Since the hunting pack is now fragmented, who told you I was still alive, and who sent you here?"

"Sigh." Mo Du sighed.

“In our most desperate moment, it was the prophet of the Lord of Long Life, ‘Mongus,’ who guided us through our confusion.”

"With her guidance, we gradually saw hope."

Hu Lei narrowed his eyes.

"The prophet 'Mongos'... what does she want to do?"

The final words continued:

"The prophet has issued a prophecy: The people of Buli have been divided for too long. Only your return can unite all the hunting packs and restore their former glory!"

"Only now that we know you are still alive must be a miracle from the Lord of Immortality!"

"The prophet told us that Yaoqing's fox-man general will take advantage of the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony to take you away. This is also the perfect opportunity for us to infiltrate this place and free you from prison."

"Everything was just as she said, and we did it!"

Seeing that Modu was so agitated, Jiaoqiu interjected:

“You have all been deceived by that so-called prophet; she has only sent you here to die.”

“But her prophecy has come true!” Mutter shouted. “The leader of the battle is right here!”

Jiaoqiu glanced at Modu and said calmly:

"But once news of the Imprisonment spreads, the Cloud Cavalry will blockade all ports."

“You think you’ve escaped from prison, but you’re just trapped in the cage of [Luofu].

"Your expectations have always been a joke."

As he listened, Modu grew increasingly agitated and shouted loudly at Hulei:

"Lord Hulei, kill him quickly!"

"Kill this treacherous, despicable beast!"

"I assure you, the escorting starship will arrive very soon!"

"Right now, the entire Luofu region is focused on that foolish martial arts ceremony, which presents us with the perfect opportunity to escape Luofu!"

"Once you return to your loyal territory, your revenge against the Immortal Ship will be just around the corner!"

Hu Lei listened silently to the heated debate between the two men, remaining silent.

He took a deep breath.

"Chance?"

"Returning to a crippled and weak hunting pack, manipulated by a ridiculous false prophet, becoming a banner she waves and shouts at?"

"Hmph! Her plan is full of flaws; the only paths she's prepared for you are 'escape' and 'death'!"

"Listen carefully, a wolf will never allow itself to become prey!"

"From now on, you must follow my orders."

Hu Lei coldly looked at Jiao Qiu, who was trying to appear calm, and said in a deep voice:

"Jiaoqiu, since you say that the 'Cloud Cavalry' will blockade the port, I will let you go to the port yourself to see whether the Cloud Cavalry will do as you wish."

Tell me the answer you see.

"...What did you say?" Jiaoqiu asked, somewhat incredulous.

This guy wants me to go out alone?

"My lord—!" Modu cried out in terror.

If the peppercorns escape, their location will be exposed in an instant.

“Most.” Hu Lei looked at him coldly.

"When have you ever heard of an alpha wolf obeying the cubs' commands?"

Mo Du was terrified and quickly lowered his head.

“I’ve never heard of that… I didn’t mean to give you orders, and I will absolutely obey your instructions…”

In response, Jiaoqiu spoke calmly:

Why not send your men?

Hu Lei was very confident.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you want to escape, Jiaoqiu?"

"You will come back..." he said in a deep, meaningful voice.

"Because you fox people will always obediently return to your master's side... no matter how far you run away."

"Go to the port and check it out, then come back and tell me. See if the blockade you've been hoping for has materialized."

At this point, all the people blocking the entrance made way and could freely enter and exit.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiaoqiu calmly walked out the door.

He looked around.

Outside are the streets of Luofu, where pedestrians come and go as usual.

If you shout for help...

"No, no."

Jiaoqiu felt heavy-hearted.

These passersby alone are not enough to help me escape; I need to at least contact the Earthly Balance Division or the Cloud Cavalry.

"Hey, what are you standing there for?"

Bu Liren, who was in charge of guarding the gate, leaned against the door frame and looked at Jiaoqiu with disdain.

Upon hearing this, Jiaoqiu turned around and looked at Bu Liren, who appeared to be a fox-person, and pondered for a moment:

"You are Bu Liren."

"Otherwise what?" Bu Liren said calmly, hands on his hips.

Jiao Qiu squinted his eyes:

"So this is how you infiltrated the Immortal Ship...?"

"If I weren't familiar enough with the scent of the Buli people, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between real and fake."

"Tch, never seen such a wondrous potion before, huh? You ignorant wretch, get on with your work!"

"..."

Jiaoqiu's gaze involuntarily fell on Bu Liren, who was being insulted by Hu Lei for eating hot pot.

Chapter 929 His brain is still working fairly well.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiaoqiu calmly left the wolf pack's sight.

He walked along, pondering:

"These Bu Li people can disguise themselves as fox people because they've taken some kind of drug..."

It is said that during the Jianmu disaster, a rebellion broke out within the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司), and nearly 90% of the alchemists were sorcerers secretly trained by the Medicine King.

It's likely that these Bu Li people on the immortal ship also had the Medicine King's secret teachings as inside agents.

After walking a distance, Jiaoqiu looked back and found that no one was following her.

"They actually let me move around freely... What kind of trick are they playing?"

Jiaoqiu frowned slightly, and the thought of asking for help arose in her mind.

Perhaps we could try sending a warning outwards secretly, or maybe... we could just leave?

But soon, Jiaoqiu noticed a sharp gaze.

On a bench not far away sat a fox-man with a sinister expression, staring at him with a slightly warning look.

"..."

“I knew they were testing me.”

Jiaoqiu firmly believed that the Shence Prefecture was already aware of the strange situation in the Youqiu Prison, and it was only a matter of time before the Yunqi Army arrived to capture Hulei.

Right now, if I could help them pinpoint their target...

With that in mind, Jiaoqiu did not head directly to the port, but instead went to the taxi stand by the roadside.

He glanced at the taxi driver waiting for passengers and confirmed that the other party was merely a Wisdom-holder, not a fox-person.

If I escape in a taxi, perhaps I'll have a chance to survive...

However, staying with Hureh and coordinating with reinforcements is also an option.
