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

Ling Sha clenched her fist. "How could I not know the problems that Chi Ming is facing? Seeking survival is not a sin."

"But the elder's actions have exceeded the limits that survivors should follow... like a beast that only knows how to reproduce, but has no human compassion whatsoever."

Tao Ran didn't care.

"Even if we claim to be noble dragons, we are nothing more than upright-walking animals from beginning to end. The survival of our race is the most important thing. If I don't act like a beast, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be a human being!"

"The ancients said that sages are not benevolent. Since the Dragon Lord has abandoned his responsibility to maintain the survival of his race, I can only take all the evil of the world upon myself!"

Tao Ran urged again, "Ling Sha and Dan Heng, the past is gone, but the future of Chi Ming is still in your hands."

"Now that the situation on the Luofu Immortal Ship has changed drastically, we who uphold the truth should unite as one and must not repeat the mistakes of drinking the moon in our previous life."

Ling Sha remained unmoved. Tao Ran had already violated the Alliance's heavenly law. Even if he regained the possibility of reproduction, what difference would it make?

Tao Ran, seeing that the desire for survival could not be shared, then brought up the issue of interests.

"The Alliance and the Bountiful People have been locked in a bloody war for a thousand years without a clear victor. Have you ever considered why?"

"Because if the alliance wins, it will become the next bountiful people; if it loses the battle, the alliance will be wiped out."

"But I have a way to escape this predicament."

Tao Ran, who had been listless before, was now full of confidence, as if what he said was the only truth.

"The way to save the alliance lies in the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique!"

Chapter 210 Weighing

"Imagine if there were a way to transform other life forms into Vidyadharas. The Alliance would then have a continuous stream of soldiers, free from the suffering of casualties."

[Danheng: ...]

Jingyuan: ...

"Once the war ends, these soldiers will not continue to multiply, so there is no need to worry about them becoming a plague. This is the Immortal Ship Alliance's solution, the supreme path to eradicate the suffering of the plague throughout the world. Only I, the Wisdom Master, can accomplish this!"

[Firefly: Artificial weapons... Will they really achieve their desired outcome?]

[Star: What kind of twisted logic is this? Did those people voluntarily become the Vidyadharas? And where did those soldiers come from? They came from invasion, so how is that any different from destruction?]

[Danheng: The tragedies of the past must not be repeated, and the wondrous method of transforming into a dragon must never be given to people like you.]

[Zhe: I'm curious, why can't the Vidyadhara clan reproduce?]

[Doctor Truth: The Vidyadharas are the descendants of the immortals. The Procreation Star God stripped away a part of the concept of immortality, which included reproduction.]

[Hu Tao: I see. No wonder Tao Ran was so eager to seek the method for continuing the practice of Vidyadhara.]

[Jing Yuan: He's right, there's really no other way to conduct patrols, but that's not a reason to violate the Alliance's fundamental rules.]

[Taoran: My entire clan is dying, what have I done wrong? Who doesn't want to live... Answer me!]

Ling Sha took a deep breath. How could she not know about the crisis facing the Ming Clan? But Tao Ran's method was clearly wrong.

He not only transformed into a half-human, half-dragon being, but also incited the ignorant and foolish people within his clan.

"Ling Sha, I am utterly disappointed in you. Your thoughts and ideas are beyond human comprehension. Cloud Rider!"

"Wait!" Tao Ran interrupted.

Several demonic soldiers escorted Bai Lu in, one after the other. Bai Lu was sullen and unhappy, like a doll on display.

"Miss Bailu!" Dan Heng instinctively wanted to step forward, but stopped in his tracks for fear of hurting Bailu.

Bai Lu looked bewildered, her voice trembling with a hint of tears, "Mr. Danheng, and Sister Lingsha! Everyone... is here?"

Tao Ran crossed his arms and said smugly, "You think I don't know why you sent this message? Was it Jing Yuan who sent you to test me?"

[Jing Liu: ...Bai Lu! Jing Yuan, do you still want to involve her? Then don't blame me for disregarding our master-disciple relationship.]

[Jingyuan: I... Master, don't worry, the Dragon Girl is absolutely safe.]

[Ling Sha: This is really infuriating. I underestimated your abilities.]

[Ren: Danheng, kill him for me, and I will not pursue you for a hundred years.]

[Danheng: ...]

[Fufu: First you tried to persuade me, then you tried to use benefits, and now you're threatening me, huh? Are you even human?]

[Tesla: He wasn't even human to begin with. As expected, there are scumbags everywhere, ugh... dragon scum.]

*Seele: Miss Bailu is so pitiful.*

Tao Ran held the hostage in his hand, seemingly unafraid.

"According to the oath between the Alliance and the Vidyadhara, one must not cause the Vidyadhara to bleed or be injured in the territory of the Vidyadhara. Are you all going to break the oath in the presence of the Dragon Lord of Luofu?"

Ling Sha suppressed her anger; to get angry now would be to fall into his trap.

"Dragon Girl, please don't panic." After comforting Bai Lu, he turned to Bai Lu and said seriously, "Elder, the Holy Land of Wisdom and the Dragon Lord are not life-saving charms in your hands!"

Now, Dan Heng was no longer willing to resolve the matter peacefully, and a murderous intent arose in his eyes.

"The elder spoke eloquently and seemed to be concerned about the country and its people, and his words were all logical and reasonable. In the end, he still used a little girl as a life-saving charm. It was both laughable and pitiful."

Tao Ran disagreed, saying, "I have already said that seeking survival is never a sin. You and I are all enlightened and should understand my good intentions."

"Everyone, please withdraw from Lin Yuan Realm now and write to the higher-ups of the alliance. Let the Six Emperors conduct a public trial and punish me, and I will be sentenced to the punishment of having scales on my legs, and then reincarnated."

[Qingque: Good grief, you're practically condemning yourself, aren't you? Reincarnation, isn't it just about wanting to live again?]

[March 7th: Danheng, you've made me so angry!]

[Star: No, Tao Ran, do you think you deserve to be reincarnated? Bai Lu is the current Dragon Lord of Luofu. You dare treat her like this? The Chiming Clan won't tolerate you.]

[Taoran: This is an oath, what's wrong with me acting according to the rules? What can I do?]

[Walter: Danheng, what are you doing... Don't worry, everyone on the train supports you.]

How could Dan Heng not know what Tao Ran was thinking?

“By being reborn as a Vidyadhara, the sins of the previous life are wiped clean… but I am not unaware of the despicable tricks that the Dragon Masters do during the reincarnation process. Although you are not you, you will still be you.”

“I will not use the excuse of ignorance to easily excuse my past sins, nor will I allow you to take advantage of the situation to evade responsibility.”

[Hu Tao: What do you mean? You're not you, yet you are you.]

[Zhongli: Based on my current information, the process of reincarnation involves special techniques to preserve memories, which can be retrieved after reincarnation. Therefore, it seems there is no other person like them.]

Good grief, they're exploiting a bug here.

[Back then, Danheng was forced to endure hundreds of years of imprisonment because his memories were awakened.]

[March 7th: I'm so angry! Xing, let's catch up with Danheng!]

[Star: My bat wasn't bad either.]

Upon hearing this, Tao Ran's expression turned cold.

"Danheng, I have always hated your lack of pragmatism. Even after reincarnation, you haven't changed at all."

Danheng ignored him and turned to ask Bailu.

“Miss Bailu, you are the Dragon Lord of Luofu, please tell me what you are thinking at this moment.”

Bai Lu vented her dissatisfaction, "I...I don't want to stay here. I don't want to be bossed around anymore! I'm not a doll to be manipulated! Please take me away!"

After saying that, Bai Lu looked on with anticipation.

She just wanted to be free and never be monitored again.

"I understand."

Danheng then looked at Taoran.

"According to the oath, members of the Alliance must not kill or harm the Vidyadhara here. But I am no longer a citizen of the Alliance; I am merely a nameless stranger who comes and goes as he pleases."

"The oath of the alliance has no bearing on the gun in my hand!"

A stirring flute melody began.

Dan Heng stared coldly at Tao Ran, as if looking at a dead man.

Izumo was instantly summoned, spun around, and clenched.

His body suddenly stepped forward, and the attack on the clouds arrived in an instant like a sharp arrow.

Tao Ran was completely taken aback by Dan Heng's intervention and was momentarily stunned.

The attack on the clouds encountered no resistance whatsoever, piercing straight through Tao Ran's chest and pinning him firmly to the stone wall of the Lin Yuan Realm, causing cracks to appear.

With a thought, Dan Heng struck the clouds, causing them to dissipate and return to his body.

Tao Ran also fell to the ground, staggering to his feet with one hand, his eyes filled with rage.

"Do it! Do everything in your power! I want these men to come here and never leave!"

These few shrimp soldiers and crab generals escorting Bailu were nothing to Danheng and Lingsha.

He dealt with it in no time, and incidentally shielded Bailu behind him.

"Dragon Girl, are you alright?" Ling Sha asked with concern.

Bai Lu let out a breath, "I... I'm fine. Thank you all for saving me."

Dan Heng nodded upon hearing this, a slight smile curving his lips.

[Qingque: That felt so good! That's more like it. If I had just let him go like that, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well tonight.]

[March 7th: Wow, Danheng, that shot you fired was absolutely awesome!]

[Star: Not bad, you have about 80% of my power.]

[Ring: Starting with zero frames, that's something I didn't expect, but it's really fun.]

[Yanfei: I'll give you a thumbs up for upholding the Dharma beyond its bounds.]

[You wouldn't believe it, Danheng is now an unknown guest, Akivili above!]

[Gui Naifen: Su Chang, let's go find the Dragon Girl to play. She seems quite lonely.]

[Bai Lu: Gui Naifen, I remember you. You often came to patronize my business, sometimes even being carried in by Su Chang.]

[Gui Naifen: Oh...]

Footsteps approached, and the group turned to look.

Tao Ran's voice trembled, "You...you actually came in person?!"

“If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to hear the elder’s profound insights.” Jing Yuan stepped forward and approached Tao Ran.

"You will not escape the joint trial by the six emperors that you desire. In addition, I will write to General Fubo of Fanghu. Given her nature of hating evil, she will surely make a fairer decision."

[March 7th: The general has been eavesdropping behind the pillar for quite some time.]

[Jingyuan: Uh…]

[Fu Xuan: Hahaha, that's hilarious! The general has quite the refined taste. However, General Xuanquan is wise; letting her handle this will certainly silence the criticism.]

Tao Ran lost his temper and made a final struggle.

“I will take all the blame…become the scapegoat. The secrets I possess would take a long time to interrogate. In the end, I'm sure I'll survive through a deal.”

"After all, this is the kind of balancing act you love to play with the most."

Chapter 211 The End

Jing Yuan smiled without saying a word.

Tao Ran slowly stood up, regaining his confidence.

"Finally, I must remind the General... I've heard that Hu Lei escaped from prison and headed straight for the Jingfeng Ship. It's not hard to imagine the horrific scene of the massacre at the Martial Arts Ceremony. Perhaps before I am convicted, the Alliance's impeachment will give the General a major headache?"

Well said. Jing Yuan could hardly contain his laughter, but let's interrupt his beautiful fantasy.

"I regret to inform you, Mr. Taoran, that there are only Yunqi cavalry on the Jingfeng ship today, and no spectators."

Tao Ran's expression froze for a moment.

"Just now, Hu Lei was beheaded under the siege of the Cloud Cavalry."

Tao Ran, overcome with grief, laughed bitterly, "Hehe...haha...hahahaha..."
