Seeing that everyone below was looking up, Fu Taibu had a sudden inspiration, gave a soft hum, and said indifferently:
"Stop! Your every move has been observed by the Emperor's eyes... Sigh—"
Fu Xuan's graceful figure in the air suddenly seemed to be affected by something, and he plummeted downwards.
Taibu was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and he managed to suppress the scream that was on the tip of his tongue.
As she approached the ground, she suddenly regained control of her body.
So, after landing gently with her back to everyone, she coughed lightly to her mouth, as if nothing had happened. But two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.
"Hey~ my strength is back!"
March spoke with joy, and the ice arrow condensed in her hand once again.
Walter gripped his cane and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the strength is back... That situation just now was really scary."
Being an ordinary person for just one minute gave each of the travelers on their life's journey a different and profound experience.
"Ahem, Grand Diviner, Fu Xuan, I'm now in charge of the wanted criminal."
Having regained his composure, Fu Xuan turned around and was somewhat surprised by the scene before him.
The Star Core Hunter, Kafka, was already handcuffed. She looked at Fu Xuan and said with a faint smile:
"The diviner of the Diviner's Office, I've been caught by the company~"
"Hmm, someone from the company?"
Fu Xuan's expression froze for a moment, his divine eyes flashing.
Suddenly, the image of the young man she had seen in the Shence Mansion flashed into her mind.
"I have a general's proclamation here. Please take a look. Whoever captures the Star Core Hunter will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Tabushi for interrogation. Gentlemen of the company..."
Vera paused for a moment after hearing what the short taurus had to say.
"Please wait a moment, Master, while I consult my superiors."
Seeing that the other party agreed, she immediately took out her terminal and dialed Lin Yuan's number.
...........
At this moment, the starship, which had deviated from its course, arrived at a ferry crossing.
The four people and the coffin had just disembarked and were preparing to investigate where they were.
Just then, Lin Yuan's terminal vibrated.
"Gentlemen, I need to take this communication first."
Lin Yuan gestured and then walked to the side.

Chapter 225 The Prey
"Hey, do you guys think what this guy is saying is true?"
Seeing Lin Yuan walk to the side, Su Chang lowered her voice and whispered to Dan Heng and Luo Sha.
"Could the company's identity and the general's token be forged to deceive us?"
Dan Heng pondered for a moment:
"The identity and token should be genuine, which is difficult to counterfeit. Besides, this is the territory of the Immortal Ship, and the consequences of impersonating someone are severe. However... he may indeed have other motives."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Gentlemen, if we encounter any danger later, I will stand with you."
Rakshasa opened her slightly narrowed eyes and spoke slowly.
"That's right, no matter what, the number of people present is three to one, so the advantage is on my side!"
Su Chang became excited, but when she saw Lin Yuan's gaze turn slightly, she quickly covered her mouth.
.........
"Vera, what's going on? Did they catch him?"
Upon seeing the incoming call notification, Lin Yuan chuckled and asked.
"Yes, Captain Lin, everything is going smoothly. The detailed operation report will be sent to you afterward. However, there's a problem now—a girl claiming to be the Grand Diviner has come here, demanding that we hand over the criminals, and she's even showing us a general's document."
"Does the 'Taibushi' (太卜司) have pink hair?"
"Yes, Captain."
Vera glanced at Fu Xuan.
"Are you quite short?"
"Uh...yes, Captain. He is quite short."
Vera glanced at Fu Xuan again and lowered her voice.
On the other side, Fu Xuan, who was using his divine eye to observe the conversation, immediately felt his fist harden.
“Oh, that makes sense. Give the terminal to that Fu Xuan Tai Bu and tell him I want to talk to her.”
Lin Yuan smiled faintly, then clicked on call forwarding.
At the Shence Palace, Jing Yuan, who was enjoying tea at his desk, suddenly noticed the jade pendant beside him ringing and reached out to pick it up.
"Oh? What brings you to me now, young friend?"
On the other side, Vera walked up to Fu Xuan with the terminal in her hand, bending slightly to hand it over:
"This...Taishi, our leader would like to speak with you..."
"Hmph, I know..."
Fu Xuan snatched the terminal away, and Vera immediately felt that the action of taking it was quite powerful.
"I am Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner of the Imperial Astrology Bureau, and the company's representative. You..."
Tai Bu's tone was somewhat cold, and his face didn't give her a friendly look.
Then a kind voice came from the other end of the communication channel: "Young friend, what brings you here? Come over for tea when you have some free time."
Fu Xuan: ?
Jingyuan: ?
"General, are you having too much free time?! You assigned me such a task, and you're just leisurely drinking tea?"
Hearing Fu Xuan's slightly unfriendly voice, Jing Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Lin Yuan, you've really ruined my life.
Almost instantly, he figured out the whole story.
"Fu Qing, you have really misunderstood me. Legend has it that in the past, there was a fierce general in the ancient kingdom who went into battle to slay the enemy. Before leaving, he was offered wine, but he refused it. When he returned after defeating the enemy, the wine was still warm. I am just imitating this act to prepare hot tea for you, Fu Qing."
Well, here comes the good news! The Star Core Hunter must have been captured by now, right?
"General, you should stop trying to fool people."
Our divination master doesn't buy into that at all.
"Since you have already given me the documents, why did you hand them over to the company for approval of the arrest? If you can't give me a reason, General, I won't take this troublesome job."
"Oh, Fu Qing..."
Realizing that this was said in anger, Jingyuan repeatedly tried to comfort him.
"Young friend Lin, you should be listening, right? Why don't you quickly explain this to our Grand Diviner Fu?"
"Hehe. No way, I'm really enjoying listening to this."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, then spoke:
"Taishu Fu, you have truly misunderstood General Jingyuan..."
Hearing this, Jing Yuan immediately felt a little relieved.
"General Jingyuan informed me beforehand that the criminal needed to be handed over to the Grand Diviner, and that the purpose of handing him over to the Qiong Guanzhen Star Core Hunter... However, we also made an agreement beforehand—"
Lin Yuan paused, his voice becoming serious:
"This Star Core Hunter is a wanted criminal in our company. To prevent him from escaping, he needs to be personally escorted to the Temple by my people."
The useful intelligence obtained through interrogation should also be shared with us. And after obtaining the necessary information from Luofu, Kafka needs to be handed over to me...
As for the company's reward... we'll discuss that later. That concludes the discussion between the General and me.
"Huh? This guy... can you please stop setting me up for failure?"
Tai Bu Fu Xuan's low muttering came through the communication.
"All right!"
A moment later, Fu Xuan handed the terminal back and then looked at everyone.
"Alright, Kafka will be escorted to Tabushi by me and the company's people. The auspicious time has arrived; we can set off."
"Lord Diviner, please wait," Walter suddenly spoke up.
"General Jingyuan promised to share intelligence with us. We have the right to know everything Kafka has confessed. However... we only need to observe the interrogation."
"What, you guys too?"
Fu Xuan's pretty face furrowed slightly, and she finally sighed:
"Alright, in this emergency, we must act expediently... You all come with me to the Apostolic Palace."
"Gentlemen, now that we've reached an agreement, could you please remove these handcuffs? Shouldn't Luofu have regulations for the preferential treatment of suspects?"
Kafka's voice was gentle.
Before Fu Xuan could speak, the man in silver armor beside him coldly said:
"As a terrorist wanted by the company, this is already considered humane treatment for prisoners of war."
