People are in Star Iron; who says they're just NPCs?

At this moment, she no longer harbored any illusions. She knew very well that Yu Kong had brought the Cloud Riders to raid her home because he was absolutely certain that the secret passed down by the Medicine Master would not be revealed!

But why was it exposed so quickly? The plan had only just begun!

Dan Shu's mind was in turmoil, but she quickly made a decision. What she needed to do now was to stall for time until her subordinates relayed the news back to the Minghuo Merchant Guild. Huanlong would then activate the Star Core directly.

Although the effect of not sending the star core to the Scale Abyss Realm is not the best, it is still better than not being able to activate it at all!

"Lord Dan Shu, there's no need to be agitated. Once we reach the Ten Kings' Division, you'll have your chance to speak." Yu Kong Hui Zi, though seething with anger, suppressed her rage and spoke coldly:

"You don't need to try to stall for time. The people you sent out to deliver the message have been stopped by the Cloud Cavalry. General Jingyuan has probably already attacked Huanlong. Your plan has completely failed. Stop struggling!"

Hearing the name Huan from Yu Kong's mouth, Dan Shu felt a chill run down her spine. She gave a bitter laugh, then her eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Is that so? You want to take me down? You'll have to pay a price!"

She suddenly opened her arms, and a powerful and eerie force erupted from her body. The Cloud Cavalry surrounding her immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Several people were affected and fell into demonic possession!

I'm releasing two chapters in a row; I'll try to push the plot forward as quickly as possible!

Chapter 293 Star Core Sealing, the Midway Collapse of the Illusionary Plan

The power of [Abundance] erupted, instantly triggering the demonic bodies of three Cloud Cavalry soldiers. The three quickly became demonic and were on the verge of turning into monsters.

Dan Shu herself was no exception; her figure suddenly grew taller and demonized, transforming into another monstrous appearance.

Unlike those who fall into demonic possession, Dan Shu still retained his sanity. He swung his sharp longsword and charged straight into the Yunqi Army's formation.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. The Cloud Riders in front of them only saw a figure flash by before the monster swept over their heads.

However, Dan Shu was not trying to break through and escape. Instead, she rushed towards Lin Li and the others. To be precise, her target was the special cargo box placed in front of Lin Li!

Yu Kong was a veteran who had fought her way out of countless battles and survived countless casualties. Her reaction was much faster than that of the other Cloud Cavalry. The moment Dan Shu charged into the formation, she drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and a streak of light went straight for Dan Shu's face!

However, after being corrupted by demons, Dan Shu's strength increased dramatically. This sharp arrow only slightly delayed her movements before she continued to charge forward.

"Form ranks and stop her!" Yu Kong quickly gave the order. The Cloud Cavalry were, after all, well-trained elites. After a brief period of chaos, they quickly separated a group to deal with the three colleagues who had entered the demonic body of the wall, while the others surrounded Dan Shu again.

But someone is faster than them!

"March, Firefly, open the box and seal the star core. Leave the rest to me!" Lin Li said calmly. Then, in a flash, a Cloud Rider's sword appeared in his hand as he met Dan Shu, who was charging towards him.

The demonized Dan Shu is very powerful, but it's still not enough for Lin Li in his current state.

A cold glint flashed in the void, and Dan Shu, who had been charging forward recklessly, let out a miserable scream. His forward-moving figure was sent flying backward as if he had crashed into a speeding train, slamming hard against a wall not far away and raising a cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, the others could finally see clearly that the demonized Dan Shu had a standard Cloud Rider sword embedded in his chest, pinned firmly to the wall. "So strong! You're not from the Immortal Ship, who are you?"

Logically speaking, being pierced through the chest by a sword should be a fatal wound, but Dan Shu was now empowered by the [Abundance] power, which greatly enhanced her recovery ability. She pulled the sword out of her chest with her backhand and stared at the man whose strength exceeded her expectations.

Lin Li had no interest in wasting words with her. His figure flashed again, and Dan Shu only felt a blur before her eyes. Lin Li was already in front of her, and then the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out continuously.

With his superior physical abilities and combat skills, Lin Li's combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Fate Walkers, and even the demonized Dan Shu is powerless against him.

At this point, it was a complete one-sided crushing defeat!

While the power of [Abundance] can certainly enhance the Dan Shu's recovery ability, the star core has not yet been sent to the location of the Jianmu Mystic Root.

The land was not activated.

Without the power of the star core to revive the Jianmu tree, the [Abundance] power of Dan Shu is like a rootless duckweed, impossible to sustain.

What terrified Dan Shu even more was that the sword marks left by Lin Li actually carried a trace of destructive aura, constantly eroding her wounds! Was he a traveler destined to destroy her path?!

But why would someone walking on a path of destruction stand on the side of the immortal ship?

Dan Shu was completely baffled. He was cooperating with the Great Lord of Annihilation, so why would a Destiny Walker of Destruction come out to sabotage the plan?

Lin Li held an absolute advantage, but he didn't rush to kill Dan Shu. Instead, he experimented on her, trying to see how to use the power of destiny to fight.

Lin Li's [World] Destiny encompasses many destinies in the real world. Theoretically, as long as a destiny is contained within it, he can use the power of that destiny, at least at the level of an ordinary destiny traveler.

But Lin Li actually didn't use it much, because she really didn't need it normally.

When he sealed the core of the Beloborg Star, he was facing monsters from the Rift Realm who had little intelligence. He could handle the situation with his strength. At that time, he never thought of using the power of destiny to fight, until he met Dan Shu today.

Dan Shu had been using the power of [Abundance] to heal his wounds, and Lin Li naturally thought of using the power of destiny to stop this healing. [Destruction] and [Hunting] are both very useful powers against [Abundance], and they didn't need anyone to teach them; he just had a sudden inspiration and it happened naturally.

You'll be able to use it then.

Clearly, the meager [Abundance] power within Dan Shu was utterly inadequate, quickly being depleted by the [Destruction] power.

"Who exactly are you?!" Dan Shu knew she was powerless to change anything, her voice filled with resentment and bitterness. Lin Li, however, had no patience for wasting words with her. A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and he cleanly and swiftly slit her throat with a sword.

Having easily dealt with the demonized Dan Shu, Lin Li gracefully landed back beside Yu Kong, his robes fluttering and his demeanor elegant and refined. Even after the great battle, his robes were not stained with a single drop of blood, exuding a sense of refined composure.

The stunningly beautiful fox spirit Siduo glanced at the exceptionally handsome young man beside her with a hint of surprise, and for a moment she was also somewhat dazed.

Yu Kong was a powerful warrior, but she knew that if she were in his shoes, taking down Dan Shu would not have been so easy. This nameless passenger from the Starry Sky Train was much stronger than she had imagined.

While Lin Li was fighting Dan Shu alone, Yu Kong wasn't idle either. She directed the Cloud Cavalry to control the Cloud Cavalry soldiers who had suddenly fallen into demonic possession:

They also captured the other members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect who had been lurking in the Pill Cauldron Division. The entire Pill Cauldron Division was now completely under the control of the Cloud Cavalry Army.

"How is the Star Core?" Lin Li exchanged a few words with Yu Kong, then turned to look at the busy March 7th and Firefly.

"All done!" March 7th clapped his hands and stood up. Hidden in the cargo box was the star core that Huanlong had secretly transported in. It had been completely sealed by the star core restraint device produced by the train, ensuring that Huanlong could not activate it even if he came.

Huanlong's plan was to secretly collaborate with traitors within the Medicine King's Secret Lineage and the Vidyad Dragon Clan, using merchant ships from the Chamber of Commerce to transport the Star Core to the Immortal Ship Port. Members of the Medicine King's Secret Lineage would infiltrate key locations within the Jiongxing Port, delivering the Star Core to the Pill Refining Bureau, from where it would be transported to the Vidyad Dragon Clan's Lin Yuan Realm.

The traitorous traitor, Chiming, sent the star core to the location of the Jianmu Mystic Root.

In ancient times, the Immortal Boat Alliance were believers in the 【Abundance】, and Jianmu was a miracle bestowed upon the Immortal Boat people by the 【Abundance】 star god.

However, the Immortal Boat people later discovered that the immortality bestowed by [Abundance] was actually a calamity. After a long war, the Immortal Boat people abandoned their faith in [Abundance].

During the Three Tribulations Era, the Immortal Ship hero [Emperor Bow Master] severed the Jianmu tree with a single arrow, freeing the Immortal Ship people from the control of [Abundance]. The Jianmu tree was destroyed, leaving only a portion of its roots.

Huanlong's goal is to activate the power of the star core to revive the Jianmu tree and plunge the Luofu Immortal Ship into chaos.

Chapter 294 Healing the Demonic Yin Body, Yu Kong's Surprise and Doubts!

In the timeline that Lin Li was familiar with, Huanlong's plan went quite smoothly in the early stages. The star core was sent into the Jianmu Mystic Root to activate it, and the resurrection of the Jianmu brought great harm to the Luofu Immortal Ship, causing huge losses.

But now that Lin Li has become a variable, he naturally won't just stand by and watch all of this happen.

He gave Fu Xuan the list of secrets passed down by the Medicine King, and also told them the route through which the star cores were transported, all in order to intercept and seal them in advance.

In this way, the Luofu Immortal Ship would only need to face one Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, without having to worry about the Jianmu tree being resurrected.

Huanlong is indeed a [Destruction] Envoy, but General Jingyuan of the Immortal Ship is also an Envoy-level officer. As fellow Envoys, who can be afraid of whom?

Now that the star core has been successfully sealed, Lin Li's plan is more than half complete! All that's left is to eliminate Huan, and this matter will be completely resolved.

"You escort the star core away and deliver it to the Divine Strategy Mansion. I'll go check on General Jingyuan." Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the star core had been successfully sealed.

At this moment, another Cloud Cavalryman came to report: "Lord Yu Kong, the three Cloud Cavalrymen who have entered the demonic realm have been brought under control. What should we do with them?" Yu Kong opened his mouth, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The Demonic Yin Body is Yao, whose [Abundance] is deeply rooted in the bloodline of the Immortal Boat Longevity Species. When the Longevity Species' life cycle reaches a certain critical point, it will mutate and fall into the mindless Abundance Spirit.

This is the calamity sown by the ancient inhabitants of Xianzhou in their pursuit of immortality, and it remains almost unsolvable to this day!

The process of being ensnared by a demonic spirit is irreversible. Very few people can recover from being ensnared by a demonic spirit; once ensnared, it is essentially a death sentence.

This was quite cruel for the Yunqi, as no one wanted to fight against their comrades with whom they had spent every day.

However, once the demonic entity within the wall becomes a bountiful entity, it can only be destroyed; otherwise, it will only bring greater losses.

The elite warriors selected for the Cloud Cavalry should all be young and strong, and should not be easily corrupted by demons. They were all affected by the [Abundance] power on Dan Shu just now, which shows that the secret technique of the Medicine Master is actually quite dangerous!

"Let's deal with them according to the Cloud Rider Regulations. Once they fall into demonic ways, they will no longer be our comrades. Let's send them off on their final journey!" Yu Kong had no other choice but to harden his heart.

The Yunqi who came to report were unwilling. After all, they were comrades-in-arms fighting side by side just a second ago, and the next second they had to take their comrades' lives with their own hands. It was really cruel to them.

"Wait, let me take a look!"

“No need, Mr. Lin. You may not be familiar with the Demonic Yin Body. Once you fall into the Demonic Yin Body…” Yu Kong shook her head in rebuttal, but before she could finish speaking, Lin Li interrupted her.

"No, I know exactly what the Demonic Body is. Let me try!"

Lin Li strode towards the three Cloud Riders who had reverted to their demonic Yin forms. They had now completely transformed into the form of Abundant Harvest, and even under the control of the Cloud Riders, they continued to struggle and roar.

Looking at these inhuman monsters, it's hard to imagine that they were just elite warriors of the Cloud Cavalry. The harm caused by the power of [Abundance] is indeed far-reaching!

However, it doesn't seem to be an insurmountable problem for Lin Li. Back in Beloberg, he acquired a very powerful skill - [Purification].

[Purify] can be cast on any target, removing all negative status effects and restoring them to normal. The Demonic Body is also considered to have benefited from the power of [Abundance].

One of the negative states that have an impact!

However, we'll have to try it to find out if it will work.

Lin Li didn't dawdle and immediately used [Purify] on one of the monsters. A warm white light flashed, and the Cloud Rider, who had turned into a monster, returned to normal at a visible speed!

"What...what happened to me?" The Cloud Rider, who had just woken up, looked around at the people surrounding him with a blank expression. He had regained consciousness!

Lin Li nodded, confirming that the [Purification] skill was indeed effective against the demonic Yin body. He then used the skill twice more to rescue the other two Cloud Riders who had been trapped in the demonic Yin body.

It really works!

Seeing the three Cloud Cavalry soldiers who had returned to normal but were still looking bewildered, not only the Cloud Cavalry present, but also the Sky Riders following closely behind Lin Li were completely stunned! A dazzling light flashed in the eyes of this stunning fox woman, and a huge surge of joy welled up in her heart. Her voice even trembled slightly with excitement.

shake.

"You actually cured the demonic possession?!"

Yu Kong knew all too well what this meant for the Immortal Boat Alliance. The alliance had suffered far too many disasters and tragedies caused by the Demonic Body.

Because there is no cure for demonic possession!

Now someone can actually cure demonic possession directly!

"How did you do that?" Even the usually calm and composed Yu Kong could no longer maintain his composure and asked repeatedly. Before Lin Li could answer, he suddenly looked up, and a maddening aura of destruction suddenly erupted.

Not only Lin Li felt it, but everyone in the Pill Refining Division felt this immense pressure. It was Huanlong!

It seems that Jing Yuan and she have started fighting!

Yu Kong sensed the direction from which the destructive aura was erupting and whispered, "This direction leads to the Minghuo Merchant Guild?! Why is Huanlong at the Minghuo Merchant Guild?!"

Her words surprised Lin Liyao, who asked in return, "You don't know?"

"Jing Yuan didn't tell me where Huanlong was, and I'm not in charge of the Minghuo Merchant Guild. I'm only responsible for monitoring the members of the Medicine Master's Secret Sect within the jurisdiction of the Customs and Maritime Trade Office."

Yu Kong's voice grew softer and softer; she had a very bad premonition.

Lin Li understood immediately: Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan hadn't told Yu Kong about Huanlong's disguise as Tingyun infiltrating the Immortal Ship! Because in their minds, if Huanlong had impersonated Tingyun to infiltrate the Immortal Ship, then the real Tingyun was already dead!

Tingyun is a member of the Minghuo Merchant Guild, but she is also a ferryman of the Guanbo Bureau. She has a very good personal relationship with Yukong. If Yukong knows the truth, she is likely to reveal her true colors while interacting with the fake Tingyun.

After all, no one dares to underestimate a [Destruction] Envoy who is skilled at manipulating people's hearts!

Therefore, Jing Yuan only strictly required Yu Kong not to reveal the Medicine King's secrets and the traitor to any member of the Tianbo Division, but did not tell Yu Kong that Huanlong was impersonating Tingyun!

Lin Li didn't say anything at this time, but simply said, "I'll go check the situation," and disappeared from the Pill Cauldron Division in a flash.

The distance between Dan Ding Si and Ming Huo Chamber of Commerce was not short, and Lin Li was too lazy to travel there slowly. He directly activated [Flying Together] and teleported to Kafka's side.

Kafka and Silver Wolf, under his arrangement, had been monitoring outside the Minghuo Merchant Guild since early morning, mainly to serve as teleportation anchors for Lin Li.

"Tsk tsk, Elio's script is now a complete mess!" Silver Wolf chewed on bubble gum, watching Huanlong darting around in the distance, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

"That's all thanks to me! You guys can write your own scripts from now on, and I'll help you bring them to life, how about that?" Lin Li's smiling voice rang out.

A voice sounded behind Silver Wolf.

Two chapters released in quick succession! Thank you to Sebai Errong for the monthly ticket support!! The plot is almost over, and we're getting into the real story, so don't panic!

Chapter 295 The Blindfolded, Cold, and Spontaneous Woman

"Lin Li, you're here~! I'm too lazy to write the script, you guys can worry about this!" Silver Wolf's face lit up with a bright smile when he saw Lin Li appear.

"Little Silver Wolf, Sister Kafka, how's the situation?" Lin Li gently put his arms around their waists, one in each hand, and asked about the situation. "The battle is fierce. You don't know, General Jing Yuan looks honest with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he's actually wicked."

He pretended to chat with the person Huanlong was impersonating, then suddenly attacked. Huanlong was caught off guard and took a hard blow! He was still being overwhelmed and couldn't retaliate at all!

Silver Wolf vividly recounted what had happened, looking on with amusement. After all, battles between Commander-level beings were quite rare and not something one could see often.

"Jing Yuansu is known as a temporary general, so it's normal for him to use some deceptive tactics to deal with a Great Lord of Annihilation. But is Huanlong really that weak?" Lin Li turned his gaze to the battlefield, which was near the warehouse of the Minghuo Merchant Guild. This area was relatively remote and sparsely populated, so the battle wouldn't break out too quickly.

The impact will affect ordinary people immediately.

At this moment, Huanlong had shed Tingyun's appearance and transformed into a ball of azure spirit fire, fighting against Jingyuan. The aura of destruction raged endlessly but was confined to a very small area.

This is the true form of the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, a Suiyang!

Suiyang are pure energy beings without a fixed form. They prefer to parasitize and manipulate flesh and blood. Their outstanding emotional perception and mental manipulation abilities are terrifying to all.

Huanlong's ghostly flame flickered like a will-o'-the-wisp, but its light gradually dimmed and its aura slowly weakened. Clearly, Huanlong was no match for Jingyuan at this moment.
