The cloud cavalry formed a great encirclement, standing tall above the heavens, truly like celestial soldiers and generals.

Amidst the fierce battle below, as exploding silver arrows of light precisely struck down from the sky, the Medicine King's Secret Sect on the ground suffered a steady defeat under the onslaught of the Cloud Cavalry.

However, under the cover of the sprouting roots of the Jianmu tree and the rising clouds that could lure the Immortal Boat people into demonic darkness, the battle became intense for a time.

Behind the battle lines.

"My Lord, a battle report has arrived from the front: our offensive has been stalled. The enemy has deployed a lot of miasma on their home turf, causing many of our brothers to fall into the demonic abyss, resulting in more than half of our losses."

Upon hearing the battle report from the messenger cavalry, Fu Xuan frowned deeply and gritted his teeth.

This was her first time wielding military power, and she was facing this situation. While experiencing the power of a general, she also felt immense pressure.

Seeing the ever-increasing casualty figures, Fu Xuan felt extremely nervous.

Human life is not like a hexagram; every wrong decision can lead to unimaginable consequences.

With a flicker of his divine eye, the Grand Diviner gritted his teeth and was about to give the order:

"Pass down the order: retreat for now!"

"Your Excellency, you must not!"

Qingzu, who had been sent here by the general to offer advice, rushed forward to stop him upon seeing the situation.

"My lord, as the art of war says, 'Strike while the iron is hot, and strike again and again, and strike again and again until the strength is exhausted.' At this moment, the military momentum has already reached a breaking point. If we withdraw now, it will disrupt the momentum and have an adverse impact on the subsequent attack on Lin Yuan Realm."

“But…” Fu Xuan was somewhat anxious.

“My lord, a general who is kind cannot command troops.” Qingzhu’s gaze was somewhat meaningful.

"........."

Fu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he muttered something to himself.

She suddenly remembered her senior sister and master, and suddenly understood why divination could not change everything.

"Then..."

Just then, another scout hurried over:

"Sir... an unnamed passenger claiming to be from the Starry Sky Train has arrived to provide assistance. Should we...?"

"Excellent! This is truly a brilliant move; this situation is now resolved!" Fu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out:

"Please invite them quickly."

...........

"Hmm, it looks like all the actors have gathered. It's time."

Along the route through Changletian, Taibusi, and Gongzaosi, Lin Yuan swept away the wandering, abundant, and reviving roots of the Jianmu trees.

With a sweeping glance, Lin Yuan seized these abundant items and refined them in his hands.

For Lin Yuan, these were all highly nutritious foods—although the quality was poor, the quantity made up for it.

After a while, feeling his physical strength gradually increase only slightly, he became somewhat bored.

This level of abundant blessing was clearly no longer enough to satisfy his appetite; he needed something more potent.

Since that's the case, after the snacks, it's time for the appetizers.

...........

Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司).

Because non-celestial beings are not affected by the mist, and they are also highly skilled.

The Star Train, this secret force, was once again mobilized by Fu Taibu—just considering this, Fu Xuan made rapid progress.

The battle formation that had been hindering the Cloud Cavalry for so long was quickly advanced with the intervention of the Train Regiment.

The air is filled with a mist that can lure the people of the Immortal Ship into demonic darkness; whether inhaled or through physical contact, it will have an effect.

Ahead lies the enormous alchemy furnace—the Cloud and Mist Purple Mansion—where ancient alchemists expounded the Dao of Immortality and drew upon the power of the Jianmu tree.

It was shrouded in smoke. And it was the source of all this.

"Hey, the first time I met that Lady Yu Kong, she said something quite insightful: 'This is an internal matter of the Immortal Ship, no need for you to worry about it.' How come in the blink of an eye, she's dumping all sorts of choreography on us?"

I doubt any company can command people like they do. Maybe those company employees are just watching from behind the scenes.

After defeating a mythical beast secretly controlled by the Medicine King, March felt a headache coming on.

Ever since arriving at the Immortal Ship, he has been constantly on the move, fighting and killing, without a moment's rest.

"Oh right, I saw that our company also has a partnership with Luofu, so why haven't we seen them around?"

Xing also spoke up out of curiosity. What she really wanted to know was what happened to the young man from the company and the Star Core Hunter afterward.

"After all, this is Luofu. I don't think General Jingyuan will allow outsiders to interfere in internal affairs, especially the company."

Uncle Yang stroked his chin and analyzed.

"However, the company may provide assistance to Luofu in other areas. It is also possible that the cooperation will be limited to the Star Core Hunter aspect."

"Oh, my benefactors, only you two are truly capable of leading this surprise attack. I have the utmost respect for you. However, military orders are paramount, so let's set off immediately!"

"Alright, wait! Miss Tingyun, why aren't you going back yet! We're so close to the alchemy furnace!" March suddenly became anxious.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine~ It's just that the general ordered me to follow you all." Tingyun fanned herself and explained.

Soon, after defeating the evil creature blocking their way and successfully shutting down the small alchemy furnace, the toxic smoke gradually began to dissipate.

Below the enormous alchemy furnace in front, several figures turned their gazes upon hearing the sound.

Leading the group was none other than Dan Shu, the master of the Medicine King's secret teachings.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened."

Dan Shu slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Ting Yun.

Above, Fu Xuan, leading the Cloud Cavalry, was about to descend and rendezvous with the train crew when a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Who goes there?" The Cloud Cavalryman warily raised his battle sword and pointed it at the figure.

The young man ignored him, only looking at the alchemy furnace below, and said softly, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

Chapter 241 On the Verge of Eruption

"You are...a representative from which company?"

Upon seeing the figure suddenly appear beside him, Fu Xuan was startled at first, then subconsciously took a step back, his expression changing slightly.

"Company representative, the Cloud Cavalry is on military duty. Why are you here?"

"Little Diviner, if you have any questions, you can ask General Jingyuan. As for my presence here, it is of course on official business."

Lin Yuan glanced at her indifferently.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Tai Bu's expression darkened slightly. Ever since she met this company representative, she had always felt like she was being humiliated.

But the important matter at hand was paramount. She instructed her men, "The situation is critical. Stay here and keep an eye on him. Report to me immediately if anything happens!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A small cavalry squad received the order and looked at Lin Yuan warily.

Fu Xuan gave him a deep look: "You... stay here and don't move!"

After saying that, she quickly led the team to the Cloud and Mist Purple Mansion below.

"Why does this sound like you're taking advantage of me?"

Lin Yuan watched the pink-haired tabu slowly disappear, his face expressionless.

He took out the token from his pocket and handed it to the cloud riders who were watching him.

"Uh... sir! We are just following orders."

After checking the token, the Cloud Riders, though somewhat puzzled, still bowed.

"It's alright. I saw that the diviner was very anxious just now, and I didn't have time to explain to her. It's perfect that you're here. Tell me about the battle situation."

.............

In the Tai Zhen Dan Chamber, Fu Xuan quickly led his troops to the location and joined the train crew.

On the field, the crowd was confronting the leader of the Medicine King and his group.

When Fu Xuan arrived at the scene, his expression immediately darkened upon seeing the other party's appearance:

"So it was you... Dan Shu."

"Master Dan greets the Grand Diviner... You don't seem surprised?"

Dan Shu, floating in the air, looked down at the important figure on the immortal ship before him. His expression was indifferent.

"Hmph, the secret teachings of the Medicine King must be hidden in the Pill Refining Department. The General and I both know this, but we can't find any evidence to hold you accountable."

"We'll have to wait until you come forward. The Ten Kings will settle accounts with you for your grave sins, one by one."

"Sin? If what I have done is sinful, then the ancestors of the Immortal Ship will be guilty of the same sin as me!"

Dan Shu scoffed: "The Medicine King's Secret Teachings are merely following the path they once walked, pursuing transcendence. What's wrong with that?"

"absurd."

When two people can't agree on something, there's no point in arguing. Since neither side can convince the other, the only solution is to settle things through the simplest method – a fight.

Meanwhile, at the railing above.

"Hmm, so that means the remaining disciples of the Medicine King's secret lineage are all in this Pill Refining Department, right?"

Upon hearing Yunqi's reply, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and the sounds of collision coming from below immediately caught his attention.

Seeing everyone locked in combat, his eyes gleamed.

"Finally, the fighting started."
