Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan
Chapter 498 The Clash of Titans in the Divine Strategy Bureau
The streets of Xingchahai Central Hub should have been the most bustling and prosperous commercial center in the entire Xianzhou Luofu.
But at this moment, martial law is in effect throughout the region.
Only squads of solemn-looking Cloud Cavalry remained, patrolling back and forth.
Luo Chen and his group, led by Yu Kong, walked through the long street.
The Yunqi soldiers on both sides cast wary yet respectful glances at them.
The news had already spread throughout the army—the black-clad man at the forefront had, with just a glance, caused hundreds of elite Cloud Cavalry, along with the captain of the Sky Ship Company, to kneel on the ground.
"S-senpai..."
Mashu was half a step behind Luo Chen, and lowered her voice.
"It feels like we've become terrorists... This kind of intense public scrutiny is suffocating."
"What are you afraid of? The boss is here!"
Xing, however, was completely unaware of this.
She put her hands behind her head, humming an unknown tune, her golden eyes darting around the shop windows.
"Wow! Is that a blind box machine, a specialty of Xianzhou? It looks like it can produce golden light!"
"Boss, boss, can I have a couple of rounds of fun after we're done with business?"
"If you can guarantee that you won't dump the trash in the middle of the road, I might consider giving you some money for the card draw."
Luo Chen didn't even turn his head.
"Deal! Boss, you're a million times more reliable than Elio!"
Xing clenched her fist excitedly.
Upon hearing this completely unhurried conversation, Yu Kong felt a throbbing vein on his forehead.
As one of the Six Emperors of Luofu, she was used to others' awe of the Immortal Ship.
But these guys who call themselves "nameless guests" walk around this heavily guarded military area as if they were strolling in their own backyard!
Especially that man in black...
Yu Kong glanced subtly at Luo Chen's profile.
Even now, she still feels phantom pain in her back from being overwhelmed by that terrifying mass.
That was definitely not any known force of destiny.
Rather, it is a purer, more irrational... universal truth.
"My benefactors, the Shence Palace is just ahead!"
Tingyun, fanning herself with a folding fan, approached with light, graceful steps.
The fox's tail swayed gently in a fawning manner.
This Great Lord of Annihilation was incredibly obedient at the moment.
Just now, as she was landing, the man glanced at her seemingly unintentionally.
The profound and cold gaze contained within that one look gave Huanlong, whose destructive essence was hidden beneath the fox-human body, a chilling sense of being completely seen through.
"Miss Tingyun, your tail is a little stiff."
Luo Chen stopped and stood in front of the tall stone steps of the Shence Mansion, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Don't worry, as long as you continue to do your job as a 'guide' well, I won't do anything to your pretty face for the time being."
"After all, if the fox's fur is burnt, the feel of it will be greatly diminished."
"Hmm, my benefactor is really joking..."
Tingyun's charming smile froze for a second.
Cold sweat trickled silently down the back of her fair neck.
He definitely knows!
This monster has definitely seen through its true form!
Huanlong roared wildly in his heart, but on the surface he could only lower his head deeply and dare not even breathe.
In front of this man, her proud destructive power was like a glass toy that could be crushed at any moment.
Shence Mansion. Main Hall.
A huge holographic star map slowly rotated in mid-air, and a faint fragrance permeated the hall.
Behind the layers of curtains, at a large desk, a man with fluffy white hair, wearing magnificent armor, had his eyes closed.
Holding birdseed in his hand, he casually fed the jack-o'-lantern on the windowsill.
The supreme commander of the Immortal Boat Luofu.
General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy Army.
"General, they have arrived."
Yu Kong stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and spoke with deep remorse.
"My subordinates were incompetent; they failed to stop them at Xinggang, and even..."
"It's alright, Yu Kong. You may step back now."
Jing Yuan didn't open his eyes, casually waved his hand, and scattered all the birdseed in his hand.
"Faced with a gale that could easily break even the branches of an imaginary tree, you should be grateful that you're standing here unharmed."
Yu Kong gritted his teeth and respectfully stepped aside.
The sound of steady footsteps rang out.
Luo Chen led the three members of the train crew through the curtain and walked to the center of the main hall.
"I heard you're the smartest general on this celestial ship, and the one who loves playing chess the most?"
Luo Chen did not bow.
With one hand in his trench coat pocket, his crimson-gold vertical pupils fixed on Jing Yuan with a condescending scrutiny.
"Jingyuan wouldn't dare accept the title of 'most intelligent.' As for playing chess..."
Jingyuan finally slowly opened his eyes.
Those were golden eyes filled with the passage of time and the vastness of the starry sky, revealing a languid wisdom that seemed to have seen through the ways of the world.
But the moment he met Luo Chen's gaze, the general, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't help but slightly contract his pupils.
He felt like he wasn't facing a single person.
Instead, it is a massive, burning star that could explode as a supernova at any moment.
"It's just a little hobby I like to have to pass the time during these long years."
Jing Yuan stood up, walked around the desk, and wore his signature warm smile.
"Nice to meet you, nameless guest from afar... or rather, an unknown king from another world."
"I am Jing Yuan, the general of Luofu."
"Although your arrival was a little... 'enthusiastic,' Luofu has never turned away travelers with good intentions."
"bona fide?"
Luo Chen sneered and walked directly to a guest seat on one side of the main hall, sitting down with his long legs crossed.
"Don't try to play diplomatic games with me, Jingyuan."
"The commotion I just caused in Singapore cannot be simply described as 'exciting'."
"The reason you can speak to me so calmly is simply because your 'Divine Strategy' tells you that if you turn against me here, this Luofu Immortal Ship will be completely wiped out from the Alliance's organization today."
This statement came out.
Yan Qing, the blond-haired young guard standing behind Jing Yuan, instantly gripped the hilt of his sword.
His eyes were like unsheathed blades, fixed intently on Luo Chen.
"Arrogant! How dare you be so insolent in front of the general!"
"Yanqing, you mustn't be rude."
Jing Yuan raised his hand to stop the boy from going berserk.
His face did not show any anger at Luo Chen's threat. Instead, his lazy smile disappeared, and his expression became extremely deep and solemn.
"Since you speak frankly, I, Jingyuan, will not beat around the bush either."
Jing Yuan walked over and sat down opposite Luo Chen, placing his hands folded on his knees.
"Your power is indeed beyond the current limits of what the Immortal Ship can handle. But I am very curious, with such immense power, why are you traveling with the Star Train? And why are you interfering in this 'Star Core' crisis in Luofu?"
"Because they bought my 'ticket'."
Luo Chen pointed to Xing, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng behind him.
"I'm very protective of my own. Since they've acknowledged me as their leader, I'll be responsible for kicking down any obstacles in their path."
Luo Chen leaned forward slightly.
The aura belonging to the "Three-Digit Full Authority Domain of the Small Garden" silently enveloped the entire Divine Strategy Mansion at this moment, like a tangible pressure.
"And... I'm slightly interested in that guy who likes to scatter star cores everywhere and stage his own dramas."
"So, don't put on that strategic chess player act in front of me, checkmate."
"Your game was overturned the moment I stepped into Luofu."
The air inside the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.
Yanqing's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He discovered that he couldn't even muster the strength to draw his sword.
That invisible pressure, like an unseen, enormous mountain range, pressed down firmly on his spiritual foundation.
A rare look of shock flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes.
He has faced both abundant evil and the messengers of the antimatter legion.
But he swore that even the Destroyer known as the "God Descendant" would be like a firefly compared to the moon in the face of the absolute mass emanating from this man.
This guy... isn't borrowing the power of the Star God at all.
He himself... is a kind of "truth" comparable to a star god!
"call……"
Under this terrifying pressure, Jing Yuan let out a long breath.
After a brief silence, the battle-hardened general revealed a bitter smile of relief.
"Since you've put it this way, it would be incredibly ungrateful of you to keep anything back to yourself."
Jing Yuan waved his hand, signaling Yan Qing and Yu Kong to step back.
Then he looked at Luo Chen.
"As you can see, Luofu's current situation has indeed reached an extremely dangerous point."
"The stellar core eruption is merely a symptom. The real trouble lies in the fact that the stellar core has awakened the oldest curse on this immortal ship—the resurgence of the Jianmu tree."
"And those 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' hidden in the shadows, attempting to use the power of the Jianmu Tree to overthrow the Immortal Ship."
"Not only that."
Jing Yuan's gaze passed over Luo Chen and landed on Dan Heng, who was standing at the very back and remained silent.
"It's time to settle some old scores, isn't it... Lord Yinyue?"
Upon hearing this name...
Dan Heng's body jolted violently.
A flicker of pain and evasion flashed in those blue eyes.
He instinctively gripped the spear tighter, wanting to back away.
"His name is no longer Yinyue, it's Danheng."
A large hand suddenly pressed down on Dan Heng's shoulder.
Luo Chen did not turn around and remained seated in his chair.
But beneath that calm voice lay an absolute domineering protectiveness.
"I don't care about the past. Whatever mistakes he made on your immortal ship, whether it was losing his scales or being exiled, that's all karma from his previous life."
"But now, he's an unnamed passenger on the Star Train, a little brother under my protection, Luo Chen."
Luo Chen's gaze pierced Jing Yuan with a cold intensity.
"If your Immortal Ship wants to dredge up old grievances, or wants to take him back and keep him locked up again... you can try."
"I wouldn't mind letting your entire Cloud Cavalry experience the feeling of 'gravity free fall' before we deal with the star core."
"Boss..."
Xing, moved to tears, whispered to March 7th.
"See that? This is what security feels like! I'll never rummage through trash cans again; I'm going to be the boss's henchman for life!"
Faced with Luo Chen's unreasonable and protective remarks.
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha! You've misunderstood!"
"Jingyuan has no intention of pursuing his past. On the contrary, I'm glad he found such a group of... 'tough' companions."
Jing Yuan looked at Dan Heng with a gentle and relieved expression, like that of an elder.
"Now that you've let go of the shackles of the past, use your eyes now to take a good look at this homeland, Danheng."
"Luofu is not all painful memories."
Having defused the minor incident, Jingyuan steered the conversation back on track.
"Regarding the hunter of the Star Core... Kafka, she has been imprisoned by us in the Taipusi's Qiongguan Array."
"The diviner Fu Xuan is interrogating her."
"If you want to obtain direct clues about the star core, meeting the agent of the 'slave of fate' might be the best option."
"Are we just observing the enemy formation?"
Luo Chen stood up and patted the hem of his trench coat.
"Perfect timing. I also want to see if that divination machine, which claims to be able to predict the past, can predict me, this 'variable'."
"Well then, I wish you all a safe and pleasant journey."
Jing Yuan smiled and watched them leave.
Until Luo Chen and his group completely disappeared outside the gates of the Shence Mansion.
Yan Qing gasped for breath, feeling utterly exhausted, and asked with lingering fear.
"General... just who is that man? His arrogant attitude completely disregards our Immortal Ship Alliance!"
"He has the ability, Yanqing."
Jing Yuan's smile faded, and his gaze returned to the unfinished game in front of him.
But at that moment, he no longer had the will to make a move.
"This game is no longer under our control."
"Pass on my order. From this moment forward, grant these nameless guests all the highest privileges of Luofu."
"Wherever they go, whatever they do, no Cloud Cavalry shall obstruct or interfere with them."
"Now that a true dragon capable of overturning rivers and seas has arrived... let him stir up this murky water and turn the world upside down."
After leaving the Shence Palace, the group headed along the corridor towards the Taibusi (Imperial Statute Office).
"Boss, are we really going to interrogate Kafka?"
Xing moved closer to Luo Chen and asked curiously.
"Didn't she try to control you with words of magic back on the space station? Should I give her a 'physical hypnosis' with a baseball bat this time?"
"unnecessary."
Luo Chen looked up at the artificial nebula that was constantly swirling above the Luofu Immortal Ship.
A meaningful smile curved at the corner of his lips.
"Kafka is a smart woman. The fact that she chose to be captured means it's part of Elio's plan."
"but……"
A dangerous, dark golden light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.
"Even the most perfect script will be torn apart if it exceeds the limits of what paper can hold."
"Let's go. Let's meet that pink-haired little fortune teller and that spider woman who likes to wear burgundy coats."
