Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

As the leader of the nameless group, he unconsciously gripped his cane tighter, feeling an urge to tear his enemies apart with gravity.

Seeing the somewhat uneasy expressions on Xing and March's faces, Walter's tone became calm:

"Huanlong is obsessed with the destruction of both the spiritual and material worlds, with the collapse of the mind leading to the demise of the body. However, it's unclear whether Luofu is aware that Huanlong infiltrated the Immortal Ship..."

Uncle Yang's tone carried a hint of cautious probing. The diviner, however, seemed lost in thought, muttering to himself:

"No wonder the Medicine King's Secret Sect rebelled; it turns out they were secretly colluding with the Legion's Grand Lord. She disguised herself as a Celestial Ship dweller, sending the Star Core into Luofu, causing us to destroy each other... How despicable, utterly despicable! This is bad..."

Fu Xuan said resentfully, then suddenly raised his head:

"Her target must be the Jianmu tree. If she gets her hands on the Jianmu tree, destroying the Immortal Ship will be a piece of cake. There's no time to lose, we must stop her!"

Seeing that Fu Xuan's anxious demeanor seemed genuine, and recalling the fortune teller's temperament from their previous interactions, Walter breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed the Immortal Ship was also taken aback by this.

However, he never expected that two players on this immortal ship already knew about the information regarding the Great Lord of Annihilation. Yet, they both chose to remain silent to Fu Xuan and the others.

If this diviner knew, he would definitely bite his lip and finally utter, "You bunch of scoundrels!"

"Forget it, Huanlong loves to disturb people's minds and make them suspicious of each other. Perhaps this is just her trap."

Uncle Yang shifted the blame for his growing vigilance to Huanlong, and then headed with the others to the seaside ferry to open up the Lin Yuan Realm.

On the other side, Lin Yuan had already crossed the sea, and the land ahead was clearly in sight.

"Wow, it's so lively, there are so many people!"

Looking at the scene on the shore, he couldn't help but smile.

...........

Chapter 243 The Alliance of Scourges

Lin Yuan descended and landed on the shore.

At this moment, his energy was at its peak, and his body was stronger than ever before. He couldn't remember exactly how many abundant monstrous creatures he had refined just now—hundreds... or thousands?

But none of that matters anymore; all traces were lost in the sea along with the massive amounts of lightning and fire from the alchemy furnace.

To be honest, this Dan Shu is really ruthless. If this alchemy furnace, which is contaminated with alchemical energy, were to explode, the Dan Ding Si would probably disappear completely from the history of Luofu.

For that reason alone, Jing Yuan should thank him. Moreover, the mastermind of the secret arts, Dan Shu, was spared his life; what information they could extract depended entirely on the abilities of the Ten Kings' Division.

The figure that fell from the sky immediately attracted the attention of the crowd gathered on the shore.

The black-haired man with a sword stood facing off against the man in mid-air in the form of a dragon, while Kafka stood quietly to the side with her arms crossed.

The young guard was panting heavily, relying solely on his sword for support. General Jingyuan stood in front of him, controlling the entire situation.

"Wow, it's lively here! Is everyone here?"

Lin Yuan strode confidently, his gaze sweeping across each person's face.

He walked up to Jing Yuan and calmly said, "Huanlong has appeared in the Dan Ding Division and attached herself to Ting Yun, who is guiding the Starry Sky Train. She is now heading towards Jianmu."

The general's gaze sharpened, revealing a glint in his eyes.

"Young friend, how is the Pill Refining Department doing now?"

"What could possibly happen? Since the general has entrusted the task to Fu Taibu, he should naturally trust her. Time is of the essence; have the Star Core Hunters' scenes been completed here?"

Lin Yuan spoke, then slowly walked forward. Passing Yan Qing, he glanced down at him and chuckled.

"Young man, we meet again. Where have you been honing your skills all this time? When shall we spar again?"

Yanqing looked up, made a sound, and then closed her eyes without saying a word.

Seeing that the other party didn't react, Lin Yuan felt slightly bored. He continued forward.

The two men facing off in front of him showed different expressions upon seeing Lin Yuan arrive.

Ren snorted coldly, placed his sword beside him, and put away his previous manic demeanor.

Meanwhile, Dan Heng, in his moon-drinking form, had a flicker in his eyes as he pondered why this company representative, whom he had met once before, would be here.

"Gentlemen, finally, the alliance to defeat Huanlong has gathered here."

Lin Yuan spread his arms wide, looking relaxed and content.

"The Great Lord Huanlong of [Destruction] infiltrated the Immortal Ship carrying a Star Core, conspired with the Medicine King's secret techniques to launch a rebellion, attacked civilians with antimatter bombs, and even plotted to assassinate company executives, intending to sabotage the company's bilateral relationship with Luofu. He also framed the Starry Sky Train..."

In short, it's all the fault of the Great King of Annihilation. His numerous evil deeds and perverse actions are too many to list. Therefore—"

A smile appeared on his lips:

"Today, the Guardians, the Hunters, and the Pioneers shall join hands to kill this traitor and serve as a warning to others."

"What?! The Great Lord of Annihilation... Huanlong?!"

Yanqing suddenly raised her head, her face showing extreme surprise.

"We're going to have to work together to deal with a Lord of Extinction?!"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you." Lin Yuan turned around. "Kid, this is a battle for adults, children shouldn't get involved."

"You!" Yan Qing was about to retort when she saw Jing Yuan shake his head and say in a deep voice:

"Yanqing, now is not the time to act impulsively. I have already made arrangements for you and Fuqing. Don't let me down."

Seeing the general's gentle smile, Yanqing's eyes flickered, and finally she gritted her teeth and bowed in agreement.

"Does the general have anything else to say?"

"Ha, you've said everything, young friend. What else can I say?"

Jing Yuan looked to the side.

"Star Core Hunter, now that you've fulfilled your promise, those who are not involved can leave..."

Kafka frowned upon hearing this. But seeing everyone's gaze fixed on her, and recalling her recent communication with Eriol, she murmured softly:

"Ah Ren, be careful, there will be many more scenes for you in the future."

"Ah."

After speaking, she slowly backed away and left the stage first.

"Alright, everyone else has left. It's time for us main players to get ready to take the field."

Watching Kafka's wary figure leave, Lin Yuan let out a soft chuckle.

But at that very moment, Dan Heng spoke, intending to proceed:

"Gentlemen, now that things have been discussed, I need to go find my friend."

"Hehe, do you forget your old friends once you make new ones? That's how the Vidyadharas are. Even short-lived beings can understand cause and effect, yet some people think they can wash away their past with the sea of ​​suffering."

Ren gave a cold laugh.

"...An old friend?"

Jing Yuan repeated it to himself, watching the scene before him with great interest.

"I've already said... I'm not him."

Dan Heng turned around abruptly, his face filled with indifference.

"Oh, sorry."

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips turned down.

"But you still can't leave. Your train companions are arriving soon. Don't you want to see them?"

"Them?! Why are they here?!"

Dan Heng's expression changed, and he looked at the people present, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Well, let them explain the reason to you themselves."

Jing Yuan shook his head and walked towards Lin Yuan Realm with a bored expression.

...........

Half an hour later, the Cloud Cavalry led by Fu Xuan moved to Lin Yuan Realm, and the people from the Starry Sky Train also arrived.

When they saw that familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the shore, Xing and Sanyue were slightly taken aback at first, and then rushed forward immediately.

"Danheng!"

"Cold-Faced Little Green Dragon!"

Dan Heng's gaze fell upon the figure rushing towards him. His originally cold and stern face melted away like ice, and a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face.

Jing Yuan glanced at them with a complicated expression, then turned to Lin Yuan and introduced them:

"The ancient Boyue Sea is a magnificent and wondrous place. The scenery of Linyuan Realm is still the same as before, but times have changed and the people standing here are no longer the same. Young friend, your name is Lin Yuan, and you are somewhat destined to be here in Linyuan."

"General, puns will get you fined."

Lin Yuan glanced at him but did not give a direct answer.

He knew very well why he had this name. It also came from an ancient saying from his hometown.

"Walking on the edge of an abyss is like treading on thin ice."

As the name he registered for himself in this world, Lin Yuan hoped it would serve as a reminder to always remain vigilant. This was especially true in this dangerous universe.

.......

Shortly after, Danheng, having finished his conversation with the passengers on the train, walked over with a few others.

Looking at Jing Yuan with his arms crossed, Ren leaning against the wall, and Lin Yuan smiling and sizing them up, San Yue and Xing felt that something was off.

"Well? Is everything explained clearly now?"

Seeing Dan Heng approach, Jing Yuan spoke calmly.

"Well, since things have come to this point, and it's everyone's decision, I have no objections. However, General Jingyuan... I am Danheng. Whether Danfeng is a hero or a sinner is none of my business."

I have already borne his punishment and accepted eternal exile—for which I have no complaints—but the general looks at me. Please, cast aside the shadows of the past.”

Ah, the past is like a murky pool, only stirring up unhappiness. Perhaps it is your appearance that always makes me associate you with people from the past.

"...I've already said—"

"Yes, I did say that, but so what? If a single sentence could change someone's mind, there wouldn't be so much conflict in the world. You want me to stop seeing you as Danfeng? Fine, do one thing for me."
