Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

General Jingyuan, you are my god!

[Huaiyan: It's been so long since we've had such a lively scene. The Jingyuan martial arts competition is important, but everyone's safety is even more important.]

[Jing Yuan: Elder Yan, rest assured, I have already issued the orders.]

[Sky Control: We've increased manpower in the Sky Ship Bureau, the Engineering Bureau, the Cloud Cavalry... and with the real-time monitoring system of the Grand Diviner, everything is absolutely foolproof.]

[Feixiao: Moze, aren't you going to participate?]

[Mokuzawa: That's not within my responsibilities, and my job isn't suitable for it.]

[Jiaoqiu: Many of our Yaoqing team members have also come to cheer you on. General Feixiao is watching too.]

Announcement: In light of the overwhelming enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony, Mi Yin will connect the portals to various worlds at the start of the ceremony.

Anyone with the necessary permissions can access the Jingfeng Ship.

The system will modify the environment within the scope of the martial arts ceremony, take full control of the safety of personnel crossing boundaries throughout the process, and prevent any disturbances.

Each participant will be temporarily assigned a smart assistant, capable of registering for the competition, providing route navigation, ordering food remotely, and more… allowing them to experience the unique charm of martial arts competitions abroad.

Chapter 196 Entering the game

A Cloud Knight stepped forward and reported to the General that the troops were all in position and that the Sky Ship Bureau had completed its control over the Starship route.

Feixiao nodded and then ordered, "Get all the mechanical birds moving and scan everyone who intends to enter or leave the port."

Yanqing and Xing followed behind Feixiao.

"Be on high alert at all times... to prevent the situation from escalating."

The cavalryman obeyed, "Yes!"

Fei Xiao turned his head to look behind him, "You two, come with me."

“Mozawa’s signal was nearby. But a moment ago, he lost contact…”

Yanqing couldn't help but worry, "Could it be..."

"He'll be alright." Fei Xiao didn't turn around. "Cloud Riders, search for the target!"

The two Cloud Knights immediately teamed up to explore the surrounding area.

Following the last signal that Moze had disappeared, Feixiao arrived at the place where Hulei had stayed.

Outside the courtyard, five or six fox-people surrounded the fallen Moze, their faces filled with murderous intent.

Xing was the first to discover, "It's Moze!"

The three exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.

Something was wrong. Feixiao looked around and reached out to stop Xing.

Moze braced himself with one hand on the ground and the other on his stomach, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"General... I failed. That mad dog left me here to... you..."

Fei Xiao frowned. "Declare war."

The fox-man, with an unfriendly expression, silently surrounded the four of them.

"Yes, I've been barely suppressing the urge to tear his throat open. After all, Lord Hulei ordered us to stay here so we could see..."

"You, the renowned General Tianji, the mortal enemy of Bu Liren, do you have the ability to participate in... this hunting game with him?"

Before he could finish speaking, the fox-man couldn't suppress his bloodlust and transformed into Bu Li's original form.

Sharp wolf claws gleamed with a metallic sheen, and madness filled their eyes.

Feixiao smiled subtly and shook his head, his eyes icy. "Hunting is no game. It's a war of life and death. Prepare to die, you wretched creature!"

[Gui Naifen: Hu Lei is really arrogant; he really thinks he can defeat a general.]

[Dan Heng: The battlefield is Luofu, and we are already limited by the terrain, while he can disregard it.]

[Ring: It really is a hunting game for Hure, since you have to speedrun it in one life.]

[Xingqiu: These infantrymen are truly brave; knowing they are outnumbered, they still willingly sacrifice themselves for the sake of the battle.]

Bennett: Never show mercy to your enemies.

[Yanqing: Are you done? I'm going to unleash the Heavenly River Dreamfall.]

[Yun Li: Alright, little brother. You held back a bit during our sparring, but I didn't use my full strength either.]

"You lowly beast, prepare to die! Prepare to die!"

Bu Liren charged toward the four with a roar.

Yanqing's fingertips danced, and flying swords crisscrossed and intertwined.

"Save your energy, shut up!" Yanqing stared intently.

In an instant, the flying sword flashed like a streak of light across Bu Liren's throat.

This step-by-step wolf soldier didn't require the general's intervention, and Fei Xiao was naturally happy to do so, reaching out to pull Mo Ze up.

"Don't be so smug..."

"The war chief has prepared... a dead end for you..."

Bu Liren clutched his neck with both hands and let out his final scream.

Fei Xiao didn't care at all and turned to ask, "Mo Ze, are you alright?"

"I... failed to save Jiaoqiu. Hulei is more cunning and more difficult to deal with than I imagined," Moze said unwillingly.

I'm asking you, Maze, you were also seriously injured.

However, time was of the essence, so Feixiao could only inquire about Hulei's information and how he planned to declare war.

Moze quickly replied, "The Thundercaller plan is to attack the bustling city center on the Luofu Immortal Ship."

With Jiaoqiu's fate unknown, Moze disregarded his own injuries.

Yan Qing exclaimed, "How is this possible? Even if there are still lurking Bu Liren imposters that haven't been caught, Hu Lei's group only numbers a few dozen. Does he intend to attack the bustling city center of the Luofu Immortal Ship at the same time?"

Moze understood that this was indeed horrifying. "Hulei harbors the lingering traces of the Longevity Plague, a scourge passed down through generations of the Buli people. I personally witnessed him transform a fox-person into a Buli wolf soldier..."

"This is Hure's declaration of war."

"His blood... can quickly twist and deform fox people, driving them into madness. He gave his blood to his subordinates, intending to spread it throughout Luofu and create panic!"

[Qingque: There's no solution. The Immortal Ship is full of fox people; wouldn't they all become Hu Lei's subordinates?]

[Yanqing: In that case, we must immediately isolate all the fox people to prevent them from coming into contact with wolf blood.]

[Jing Yuan: Yan Qing... calm down, think carefully about Hu Lei's purpose.]

[Star: Hu Lei's primary objective now is to escape; those wolf soldiers are just there to buy time.]

[Yanqing: Teacher, according to you, he never intended to stay in Luofu.]

[Danheng: Hulei's target is the Jingfeng warship.]

[Yanqing: I should have thought of that earlier. I even analyzed it before, how could I have forgotten again?]

Wendy: Don't worry, it's normal that you're still young and can't be good at everything.

Xing: "So you're saying attacks will happen everywhere?"

Yanqing immediately realized how troublesome this matter was, "Immediately contact the Tianbo Bureau and the Yunqi, activate the travel ban, and require all fox people to stay at home."

Fei Xiao calmly analyzed, "The moment the enemy issues a challenge, it means they have already begun to take action."

Makizawa: "But... once the panic created by Hulei spreads—"

"Do you remember what I told you? When hunting, you should consider what the prey is thinking, rather than just chasing after its tracks."

"What Hu Lei wants is for everyone on Luofu to fall into panic. He wants to see us lose our composure, using our limited manpower to search every inch of Luofu for signs of an impending attack, until we are exhausted."

Feixiao said that all of this was a smokescreen.

"No matter what Hu Lei does, he can't change the fact that he's trapped on the Luofu Immortal Ship. The only way to escape is to find a ship."

Xing looked up and thought, "Right now... the only ship he can see is the Jingfeng Ship in the sky."

Fei Xiao did not deny it, "For him, there are countless hostages up there. It would be the ideal place, and also our final battlefield."

Yanqing was still worried. What if he went somewhere else or caused trouble?

"Are we going to abandon those places with even less potential?"

Fei Xiao listened attentively to Yan Qing's words and then responded.

"This is another lesson you need to learn besides swordsmanship: weighing and choosing, a question we are always asking ourselves but never have a solution to."

"Before making a decision, we must kill the hesitation in our hearts; after making a decision, we must fight against regret."

"We might choose the wrong direction, causing innocent comrades to sacrifice themselves in vain; we might guess the enemy's movements correctly, but misjudge their strength and suffer a crushing defeat..."

Fei Xiao said in a loud voice, "Everyone, heed my command. I will be stationed at Starship Sea to evacuate the population and deal with any possible attacks. I will do everything in my power to fight back and ensure the safety of the ground."

This was not only an answer to Yanqing and Moze, but also a guarantee to all the Yunqi and residents in the vicinity.

[Yanqing: General Feixiao, I have learned a great deal.]

[Jingyuan: Weighing and choosing—as long as you can't decide everything, these will accompany us throughout our lives. Yanqing, carefully contemplate these principles.]

[Yanqing: Yes!]

[Star: When you make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.]

[Kafka: Hoshino, you've always understood right from wrong and seen the true nature of things.]

[March 7th: She seems to be right. Although stars can be abstract at times, they have never disappointed when it comes to matters of principle.]

[Walter: No matter what, we chose what we believed to be the right choice, and our principles have never changed.]

Vivian: I don't regret my choice, Rope Maker. I did it. Although you were the one who saved me in the end.

[Ring: Vivian, I'm so glad you're alright.]

[Tetsuya: Thank you. My sister told me that if it weren't for you, I probably would have lost Rin.]

Vivian: Oh dear, I'm so shy!

[Hugo: Ever since you met the rope maker, you've blushed an unusually large number of times, like a steaming teapot.]

"So this is the Prison of Confinement? Seeing is believing."

"The military officer on duty outside the Thunderclap Cave Heaven let out a charming female voice, soaring over the sky and approaching the cave heaven's gate."

Chapter 197 Arrows Like Stars

Feixiao asked Xing and Moze to search for Jiaoqiu's whereabouts together.

Yanqing decided to return to the Jingfeng Ship. He should have been on the arena, but now he should be guarding its safety.

If Hu Lei really attacks, "Yanqing swears on the sword in his hand that he will never let him escape!"

At a single command, the cavalry rushed to various locations to quickly establish blockades and conduct investigations.

At Changletian, the Cloud Cavalry stood in formation, awaiting orders…

"Everyone!" Fei Xiao walked towards the center of the formation.

"On the territory of the Immortal Ship, the Bu Li people have dared to arrogantly challenge us, declaring that they will massacre the bustling streets and alleys of the Immortal Ship!"

"Behind us are the unarmed civilians of the Immortal Ship and the travelers who have come from afar. As soldiers of the Cloud Cavalry, can we allow the Bu Liren's plan to succeed?"

The Cloud Cavalry gripped their molecular vibrating blades and shouted in unison, "Absolutely not!"

Fei Xiao's eyes narrowed. "Be on guard at all times!"

March 7th: Luofu Mountain has truly suffered many disasters.

[Jing Yuan: Ahem, Miss Sanyue, you shouldn't say things like that.]

[Yanqing: This battle must not only be won, but won spectacularly. Fellow Cloud Riders, behind us stand our homes, our families, and our friends. Victory is ours!]

[Qingque: Let's get this fired up! We'll show you bastards our strength! The Immortal Ship cannot be humiliated!]

[Ningguang: I wonder if it would be possible to purchase some Celestial Ship weapons for the Thousand Rock Army.]
