Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

After reviewing the footage taken by the machine-made bird, the train crew went out to collect evidence and conduct further investigations.

Finally, they returned to the Earth Balance Office to gather again.

This was proposed on March 7th, using her detective reasoning method.

There were no clues to support their claims at the moment, so Walter and Xing let Little March run wild.

"Then, I will adopt the fisherman's reasoning method: put myself in the villain's shoes."

Then, Xiao Sanyue cleared her throat: "Now, I am the Rakshasa~"

Seeing March 7 dressed as a demon, yet speaking and acting exactly like March 7, Xing couldn't help but shudder: "Uncle Yang, I'm scared..."

Little March rolled her eyes: "Don't mess around, I'm thinking at high speed."

...While the train crew was busy investigating the case, Zhong Heng also passed through the Jade Gate and arrived at the Immortal Boat Luofu.

At this moment, he was located inside the Shence Palace, sitting opposite General Jing Yuan, each holding a chess piece and playing a game.

After a moment, Jing Yuan put down the chess piece and sighed, "Alas, as expected of a player who walks the path of balance in chess, this skill is something I can't even begin to match!"

"Now that the game is over, Your Excellency Supreme Judge, may you please state your purpose?"

"I clearly explained to the Marshal that Luofu has closed the Jade Realm Gate and prohibits entry and exit. I did ask the Marshal before, but she was vague and did not give a clear answer. I wonder if Your Excellency, the Supreme Judge, could enlighten Jing Yuan on what important matter requires you to come to Luofu at this time?"

Zhong Heng put down the chess piece in his hand, picked up Lin Yuanchun from the table, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly, "Since Marshal Hua didn't tell you explicitly, Jingyuan, why do you have to pry?"

"Knowing too much right now might not be a good thing for you. After all, the current situation in Luofu is enough to give you a headache for a while."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Zhong Heng, Jing Yuan could only shrug and say, "Ah~ it seems you already know."

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask."

"However, I still need to deal with some trivial matters on Luofu Mountain, so I probably won't have much time to play chess with you."

"If you don't mind, how about having Master Fu accompany you during your visit to Luofu?"

Zhong Heng put down his teacup and shook his head: "There's no need for that. Luofu is in dire need of manpower right now, and I doubt Fu Xuan would have time to waste with a nobody like me."

"Besides, this isn't my first time visiting Luofu, so there's no need to arrange for anyone to accompany me. I can just wander around on my own."

"Also... before I came here, I told your Marshal Hua that if you, Jingyuan, felt that you weren't confident about the situation on Luofu, I would take action."

Upon hearing Zhong Heng's words, Jing Yuan felt no joy; instead, his heart sank.

Zhongheng had already said so, and the key point was that the Marshal actually agreed.

It seems that... the situation on the Immortal Ship Luofu is even more troublesome than what I currently understand from the intelligence I have gathered.

Otherwise, Zhongheng wouldn't have said that he would personally take action when he wasn't confident.

After all, as mentioned before, this wasn't Zhong Heng's first time visiting Xianzhou Luofu.

It could even be said that Zhong Heng, or the Cosmic Court, has a very clear understanding of the major forces in the universe.

Similarly, the other party was well aware of Jing Yuan's strength and intelligence.

However, under such circumstances, it was not only the marshal who agreed to allow Zhong Heng to take action if the situation became untenable.

Before that, the Star Train had also arrived.

These are truly...turbulent times.

Thinking about all this, Jing Yuan suddenly felt overwhelmed, and felt that his demonic body was about to be created much earlier than expected.

He could no longer contain himself and asked Zhong Heng, "What exactly happened on Mount Luofu that made the Marshal make such a decision?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Heng raised his head and looked at Jing Yuan with a half-smile: "You really want to know?"

For some reason, Jingyuan felt that Zhongheng's smile at that moment was somewhat creepy.

Swallowing hard, driven by curiosity, Jing Yuan finally nodded.

Seeing this, Zhong Heng didn't hide it. After all, even if he didn't say anything, Jing Yuan would find out soon enough.

"On the surface, Luofu appears calm, but in reality, the 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' has been revived. Various forces are not of one mind with you and are lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike. Outside, the Great Lord of Annihilation is watching with covetous eyes and has already colluded with your internal forces in Luofu..."

"Amidst such internal and external troubles, using the star core to make the Jianmu tree grow is merely the first step."

"The challenges that Luofu, and even the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, will face next are just the beginning of this game of chess that encompasses all forces in the universe."

"The War of the Gods is not something your Immortal Ship Alliance can escape by simply trying to protect yourself and remain in a corner of the world."

The more Jingyuan listened, the darker his face became.

I never imagined I'd be nearing retirement age. In a few decades, or at most a hundred or two, I'd have to step down from my position as general because of the impending arrival of the demonic spirit.

I had originally planned to use the remaining time to train some of the younger generation on Luofu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, in these final moments, Immortal Boat Luofu and even the entire Immortal Boat Alliance would face such a situation.

"It seems... my attempt to remain uninvolved and protect myself through 'Hunting' has actually attracted the attention of other forces."

Zhong Heng shook his head: "In this 'War of the Gods,' no force can remain uninvolved."

"Not to mention the Immortal Ship Alliance, which is highly favored by the 'Hunters'."

"No matter what, the Immortal Boat Alliance is a major force. In the upcoming war that will affect the entire universe, no one can ignore the power of the Immortal Boat Alliance, as well as the Emperor Bow and Fate behind you."

"Even though the Immortal Ship Alliance is not what it used to be, and is even facing the embarrassing situation of a generational gap."

"The Jianmu tree sprouts, and the Great Lord of Annihilation personally arrives; all of this is just the beginning."

"If you don't change your previous approach after this and allow the successors of Immortal Ship Luofu to grow up as quickly as possible..."

"I think... you, who bear the name of Shence, should know what it would be like if the Immortal Ship Luofu didn't even have the ability to cope with disasters in such a war."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I suppose my fate won't be much better than that of the immortal ships from Cangcheng and Yuanqiao."

Zhong Heng nodded: "It's good that you can figure it out."

"Then I'll be leaving now. I'll be on Luofu for the time being. If anything happens, feel free to contact me anytime."

She then stood up, straightened her clothes, and left.

After losing several immortal ships in succession, the Immortal Ship Alliance suffered a significant loss of strength, and its decision to seek self-preservation was not wrong.

But now, with all parties involved in the situation, and the final script drawing us in, we're already caught in the game, and outsiders are already coming to our door.

If one continues to retreat in order to protect oneself, one will inevitably tarnish the reputation of "hunting".
