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

Then flip through the pages.

Prisoner: in an instant

Overview of crimes involved: Responsible for multiple wars of aggression and related war crimes.

Detention method: [Deleted]

Note: We do not know whether the person sealed in that box is actually him... For now, let's place that box at the bottom of the prison. No one may open it except by order of the Marshal and the Ten Kings.

The Convicted Criminal: "The Dream Eater"

Overview of crimes committed: He committed numerous serious crimes of memory theft in various worlds and was arrested for stealing the memories of the Imperial Bow General.

Method of confinement: The person is imprisoned with "Heavenly Talisman Ink Writing" and a specially made scroll, which is placed in a containment box and cannot be opened.

Note: The fugitive from the Memory Court, the Memory Thief, should not be sent to the Memory Court for now. Since he has no physical body, he cannot harm the guards. Simply ignore any strange occurrences when approaching the box.

The Sinner: "The Origin of the Immortals"

Overview of the crimes involved: concocting an elixir of immortality.

Method of detention: Perpetual detention in a cell measuring eight feet square.

The prison cell should be cast in gold, and the walls should be at least seven inches thick.

The cell should be equipped with the following functions: high-temperature sterilization, air filter, and injection of sedative gas.

Note: He was the first immortal being carried on the Immortal Ship.

They are not allowed to enter the cell or talk to the prisoner. Their physiological changes should be carefully observed and recorded daily.

The growth of limbs, wings, bone spurs, and other structures on its body is normal and requires no special reporting.

However, if he shows any signs of awakening, the marshal must be notified immediately.

On the last page of the list, the name of the prisoner, originally written as "Yinyue Jun," can still be faintly seen.

However, all subsequent information regarding his name, a summary of the crimes he was involved in, his method of detention, and any other notes has been deleted or crossed out.

The erhu music playing nearby also stopped abruptly.

The man put the erhu back into its case, took the three or five arrows that Zhong Heng had thrown in earlier, and came up behind Zhong Heng.

"...You've come?" Zhong Heng pointed his finger at the name of the prisoner "Yin Yue Jun".

"I'm here!" Jing Liu's eyes were clearly covered by a black veil, but Zhong Heng could clearly feel that the other's gaze followed his fingertips closely. When he saw the name Yin Yue Jun, his breathing became noticeably faster.

"You shouldn't have come!" Zhongheng closed the "List of Serious Criminals of the Ten Kings".

"...But I still came!" Jingliu pursed his lips and took a step forward.

As Jingliu moved, Zhong Heng could feel that the aura that had been deeply hidden when the other party played the erhu suddenly surged out, and a sharp, frosty aura, like sword energy, rushed towards him.

"On the contrary, what are you doing in Luofu instead of being in the Cosmic Court at this time?"

On Xuanye Avenue, passersby felt the chill and couldn't help but shiver, quickening their pace.

Zhong Heng raised an eyebrow, stood up, turned around, removed the black veil from Jing Liu's eyes, and at the same time raised his hand to touch the center of Jing Liu's forehead to suppress the demonic energy that was about to erupt.

Since the manifestation of "Jianmu", the people of the Immortal Ship have gained endless lifespan, and their alliance against "Demon Yin Body" has lasted for more than six thousand years.

Just like the initial launch of the celestial vessel, it marks the end of humanity's long war against aging and death.

Then, with the Emperor's Bow appearing, the three races formed an alliance, and the Immortal Ship people began an endless struggle against the Undying and the Abundant Evil.

Perhaps history is an endless cycle; the people of Xianzhou have overcome one adversary, only to face an even more formidable foe. The ultimate fate of this war remains unknown.

With the pain relieved, Jingliu looked at Xuanye Avenue, both familiar and unfamiliar, with his own eyes for the first time in a long time, finally fixing his gaze on Zhong Heng:

"So...you came to Luofu this time to stop me, the envoy of balance..."

Before Zhongheng could reply, Jingliu continued, "The celestial beings on the Immortal Boat experienced countless sufferings throughout their immeasurable lives..."

"The five aggregates are like clouds obscuring the moon of the mind; entangled by ignorance, the body falls into the shadow of demons..."

"Even with a sharp blade in hand... I cannot... subdue the demons within!"

"I will take the sword as my heart and sever my ego!"

"So... the one who truly shouldn't have boarded the immortal ship Luofu at this moment... is you!"

Zhong Heng sighed: "So, you intend to throw yourself into 'destruction,' just to temper your blade and prepare for the day you'll wield your sword against 'abundance'?"

Jing Liu's gaze was fixed on Zhong Heng, his blood-red pupils reflecting a complex mix of emotions, which he quickly suppressed.

"Why not?"

"Since the light arrows of 'Hunting' are not sharp enough, let's temper them with the golden blood of 'Destruction,' and perhaps we can even cut down the stars in the sky!"

Zhong Heng let out a long sigh, looking at Jing Liu with a heavy heart: "...Destruction is not the only way out; in the future... there will be other ways."

"Hmph... Hahahaha~" Upon hearing this, Jingliu suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.

He laughed so hard he covered his head and bent over, tears welling up in his eyes.

But then he suddenly stopped, drawing his longsword and pointing it at Zhong Heng. His blood-red pupils flashed with longing, resentment, murderous intent, and pain, leaving only a resolute expression:

"Well, there must be other ways!"

"When we first met, I begged you to save the immortal ship 'Azure City,' but you said it was fate, and you couldn't do it!"

"I told you I didn't want to stay in the Immortal Boat Alliance, I didn't want to learn swordsmanship, I just wanted to stay by your side, even if it was just as an ordinary person... You said it was fate, that I was born for the sword, and that the future of the Immortal Boat Alliance couldn't do without my participation!"

"Later, I gradually grew up and became the Sword Master of Luofu. I had like-minded partners by my side and also took Jingyuan as my apprentice..."

"But fate seems to never let me off the hook. Just when I was at the height of my success and self-satisfaction, it played another cruel joke on me!"

"I beg you once again, save my companions, save Bai Heng, Ying Xing, Yin Yue..."

"Yet from your lips, only the cold word 'fate' ever comes out!"

"Now!"

"I've traveled the world and finally found a way for the people of the Celestial Ship to escape their fate, but you've appeared again to tell me there's another way!"

"Don't you think this is ridiculous!"

"I begged you time and time again, but you said you couldn't, you couldn't do it!"

"And now you're telling me to abandon this path and believe in the future you speak of?"

"Zhongheng! Do you think that everything in this world, the destiny you speak of, can't function without you?"

"I don't care what your purpose is in Luofu this time, but I'm warning you, don't even think about stopping me!"

"Whether you choose to believe in fate is your business!"

"I am different from you. I, Jingliu, have never believed in fate!"

Jingliu finished speaking in one breath, glared fiercely at Zhongheng, sheathed his sword, and turned away.

But as she was leaving, a single, crystal-clear tear could no longer be held back, dripping from the corner of her eye down her chin to the ground with a crisp sound.
