Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

General Tian Ce does not need to clarify his true intentions. He is nearly seven hundred years old. A long time ago, he could have been perfectly described as "an old man who refuses to die is a thief."

All he had to do was wait.

Wait for the two "heirs" who are currently qualified to sit on the Dragon Lord's throne to make a decision.

"Who is she?" Ren's gaze turned to the little girl with tender white dragon horns on her head.

Perhaps it was because of his voice, expression, or tone. In short, the moment he opened his mouth, Bai Lu subconsciously looked in the direction of Ren, and then was frightened. She jumped behind the Yunqi flag officer and stared at Ren's face cautiously. There was a sense of familiarity to her, but she couldn't remember where the familiarity lay.

"Bai Lu, the successor of Yinyue Longzun." The captain snapped his fingers.

"You, what did you mean by that sentence you just said?" Bai Lu bared her teeth at the captain, "I am the Dragon Lord of the Vajra! Of course I am happy..."

Bai Lu paused for a moment when the words came to her lips.

Then, she turned her gaze to Jing Yuan, the person she was most familiar with among the people present, and rolled her eyes, "Well, of course I like them!"

"Hard on the outside, but soft on the inside." The captain glanced at Bai Lu's little face that couldn't hide what was going on.

Bai Lu bared her teeth at the captain, who in her eyes was a bad guy, and said, "Except for not letting me go out to play, the dragon masters have not caused me any displeasure!"

"Yes, to deal with you, house arrest is enough." The captain nodded.

Bai Lu pursed her lips, her expression changed slightly, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"So, who is she?" Ren frowned and looked at Kafka.

Kafka smiled and shrugged.

"Follow me." Jingliu stepped forward and with one word, he took Ren away from the crowd.

"What about you?" The captain looked at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng smiled helplessly, "Captain, we haven't come into contact with the Chiming tribe yet, so I really can't say I like or dislike them. Besides, why do you have such great...malice towards the Chiming tribe? This is totally inconsistent with your identity as a savior."

Dan Heng felt that the captain was a bit extreme, so he tried to persuade him.

"There are many ways to save the world. I used to be the kind of person who held on to hope and expectation, not wanting any life to fall on my 'Noah's Ark'. But in the end, it was the harsh blow of reality that made me understand... Many times, I drove a ship that could carry the world, but there were always people who wanted to snatch the rudder of the ship from me."

"So, I finally learned to be ruthless." The captain looked at Dan Heng calmly, "Now it's your turn, Dan Heng, who has the potential to be a Vajra Dragon Lord, to think about it."

"Let me ask you three questions."

"First of all, did the Chiming Clan really not know that the star core exploded in the Scaled Abyss Realm?"

"Second, do the Chiming people recognize Bai Lu as the Dragon Lord?"

"Third, the Chiming Clan, do you want you to be the Dragon Lord? Or do you want Bai Lu to be the Dragon Lord?"

Dan Heng pursed his lips and remained silent. His gaze turned to Bai Lu, who had just been depressed by the captain's words and was hiding behind Yunqi with her head down, acting autistic.

The captain seemed to have only asked three questions, but these three questions could lead to more questions.

And the most crucial one that Dan Heng could think of was.

Is Chiming allowing the star core to explode and allowing [Jianmu] to break the seal, in order to force himself to regain the power of the Dragon Lord in order to save [Luofu]?

"Are you hesitating?" A cold voice, with a hint of anger that everyone could hear, sounded in the distance.

Blade strode towards them, sword in hand.

Murderous.

He took a step forward, and the cracked black sword blade slashed down at Dan Heng.

"I told you I'll keep an eye on you and see what you do!" Ren stared at Dan Heng, who was wrestling with him with a gun, with a murderous look on his face. "I'm sorry, but you disappoint me."

Dan Heng couldn't help but get a little angry. He asked Ren in a cold voice, "Why are you so disappointed?"

The spear suddenly exerted force and pushed away the sword in Ren's hand. Dan Heng stepped forward and stabbed the spear into Ren's chest. "You are expecting Dan Feng! But I am not Dan Feng!"

"You're not Dan Feng?" Ren's eyes darkened.

"Of course I'm not!" Dan Heng kicked the end of the gun, wielded the gun forward, rushed into the close circle of Ren, leaned down and swept the gun, avoiding the horizontal slash of the long sword in Ren's hand, swung the gun over his back, and hit Ren's lower abdomen with a blow, and stood up again. He stared at Ren, "I am a prisoner, a prisoner who knows nothing. Countless people kept saying that I had committed a serious crime. I was driven out of a place that I was familiar with but unfamiliar with. I wandered aimlessly for a long time, and was hunted by you for a long time. I didn't even have a chance to know what crime I committed."

"What is Danfeng?"

"He is the Dragon Lord, born noble, with an entire clan standing behind him. He is a born powerful messenger."

Dan Heng stared at Ren, "Tell me, apart from this face, where else am I similar to Moon Drinking Dragon Lord?"

Everyone watched in silence as the two people suddenly broke out into a conflict.

No one stepped forward to stop it.

"I've tried my best to adapt, but there are some things I just can't do." Dan Heng panted, staring at Ren fiercely, "Everyone tells me that I am Dragon Lord, I am Dragon Lord, but what exactly should a Dragon Lord be like?"

"who knows?"

"Who among those present, including you Ying Xing, can tell me what a Dragon Lord should look like?"

"Even the current Dragon Lord doesn't know what a Dragon Lord should be like!"

As Dan Heng spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Bai Lu who was stunned by the sudden conflict.

"I..." Bai Lu stammered, lowered her eyes, and did not dare to look at Dan Heng.

And a moment of distraction.

Blade took a step forward, holding the sword in reverse, and rushed towards Dan Heng.

"Bastard!" Ren did not choose to attack Dan Heng with sword. He just used the fist holding the hilt of the sword to punch Dan Heng in the face.

"If it weren't for you..."

"If you, Yinyue, hadn't left the power of Dragon Lord to her, she shouldn't have become Dragon Lord."

Dan Heng struggled to get up and stared at the blade.

"so what......"

"What did Yinyue do that displeased you and made you come to me to vent your anger?"

Dan Heng glanced up and spat out saliva mixed with blood.

Chapter 121: Stay away and don’t get involved

"Captain, do you really not need to care?"

Xing looked at Ren and Dan Heng, whose eyes were staring at each other with a rising tension, and looked worriedly at the captain who had provoked the current conflict.

Obviously Dan Heng has been trying hard to adapt, why...

"This is good too." The captain crossed his arms and spoke with a smile.

Good?

Such a scene?

These two people are just short of beating each other's brains out. What's good about that?

"Dan Heng, remember how you feel now." The captain stepped forward with a smile, pressed down the spear in Dan Heng's hand, and selectively ignored Dan Heng's angry gaze. "When you go to face the Chi Ming tribe, you must also remember how you feel now."

"You are Dan Heng, not Dan Feng." The captain reached out and tapped Dan Heng's chest, his expression changing from smiling to serious. "If they are expecting a Dan Feng, then you should slap them in the face and tell them that you are not Dan Feng, nor someone they can manipulate through coercion or appeasement."

Dan Heng was stunned for a moment, and his anger, which was visible to the naked eye, suddenly subsided after the captain's words.

"It seems you understand." The captain nodded. "Do you need me to teach you more? I'll give you some guiding ideas."

Guiding thought?

Dan Heng chewed over the captain's words and nodded slightly.

"You have countless steps to retreat. You can retreat from anyone. If you can't afford to offend them, you can hide from them. I am your strongest backer." The captain looked at Dan Heng and suddenly blinked at the young man. "If you want to take a step forward, remember this."

"If you want to go further, you have to force some people to retreat voluntarily, let them retreat to the edge of the cliff and let them jump down by themselves. Otherwise, you'd better not take this step forward and retreat directly. You have a road behind you, but the Chiming has no road behind you." The captain looked at Dan Heng, "Once the train starts and we leave, no matter how the Chiming tribe floods, it has nothing to do with you, Dan Heng, right?"

Dan Heng nodded vigorously.

Then, the captain's eyes turned to the blade holding the sword, and he opened his mouth and sprayed, "Ying Xing, you are half-fallen demon, are you also broken in the brain?"

Blade raised an eyebrow.

"During the Moon Drinking Rebellion, Jing Liu fought desperately to kill the evil dragon that almost destroyed the seal of [Jianmu]. If the life born from its remains had not been protected by the power and identity of Dragon Lord, how do you expect it to die?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment.

She raised her head and looked around at everyone.

Although she was young, she was not stupid at all, otherwise she would not have been able to hear that the captain had mentioned earlier that the Chi Ming was putting her under some kind of house arrest.

So, of course she could tell that the captain's words about "life born from the remains of the evil dragon" were referring to herself.

Looking around, she saw only two people paying attention to her.

One of them was a "patient" she was very familiar with, General Tiance Jing Yuan.

The other one was a white-haired swordsman with black veil covering his eyes, whom she did not recognize.

Jing Yuan smiled at Bai Lu with an apologetic look, his lips moving slightly.

"I'm sorry." These are the words that came out of his lips.

Bai Lu just pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

She was not as sad as she had imagined. After all, she was a smart child. She knew very well how Chiming treated her, and she herself had thought about "why" countless times.

Now, it’s just a matter of truly knowing why.

And Blade, who was questioned by the captain, slowly lowered the sword in his hand in silence.

"So, who still has doubts?" The captain looked around.

"I." Bai Lu raised her hand.

So everyone's eyes were focused on the dragon girl holding the medicine.

The complicated expression on Bai Lu's face at this moment was completely inconsistent with the age she appeared to show.

"How do you want to arrange me?" Bai Lu looked at the captain with her big eyes, with a complicated expression and a kind of resigned attitude.

"No, I won't arrange anyone." The captain looked at Bai Lu, raised a finger and shook it at Bai Lu, "I just said that you all need to recognize your own heart."

"So, let me ask again." The captain looked at Bai Lu, "Dragon Lady Bai Lu, as the current Dragon Lord, what do you think of the Chi Ming Clan?"

"I don't like it." She said sullenly.

"Then let me ask you one more question. Why?" the captain continued to ask, "Why don't you like it?"

"Does it count if you don't let me go out to play?" Bai Lu stared at the captain.

"Of course." The captain raised his eyebrows, "But this is not a reason a Dragon Lord should say."

He stared at Bai Lu.

The dragon girl holding the medicine finally shed her childish exterior, revealing the look of a 'superior'.

"They are xenophobic, in turmoil, and factions are fighting for power. In name, they stand side by side with Luofu, but they are more like 'outsiders' parasitic on the immortal boat." Bai Lu lowered her eyes, "So I don't like them."

"Very good." The captain snapped his fingers, looked around at everyone, and showed an extremely brilliant smile, "The current Vajra Dragon Lord told us about the problems within the Vajra Clan. She wants to rectify them, but she lacks the power. But it doesn't matter..."

"We are here, right?" The captain raised his lip. "We need to set things right. We can uproot both of them at once."

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, after fully knowing what kind of "audacious" plan the captain had planned, shuddered when they saw the captain's bright smile that sounded like "the stage, actors, and script are all ready, just waiting to be put into action."

That was not much of a smile.

It was more like a ferocious beast that was choosing its prey, grinning and revealing its sharp white fangs, ready to eat someone.

No, it's time to eat a dragon.

---

At the dock along the coast of Dandingsi, a woman in a green dress was looking forward to it. When she saw the large group of people led by Jing Yuan, she quickly walked over to them and said, "General, Master Taibu, I have finally been waiting for you."

Her expression was filled with worry and relief, but when her eyes swept over Bai Lu and Dan Heng in the team, her expression changed slightly, her lips moved slightly, but she was unable to speak.

"Yunyou?" Bai Lu showed her curiosity about the appearance of Chiming who was standing at the port waiting for someone, "Why are you here?"

"Jianmu breaks the seal. I originally wanted to look for you, but the dragon masters sent me an order to pick up the general outside the Linyuan border." The maid of Longzun saluted to Bailu.

"Can't Chiming seal Jianmu anymore?" Jing Yuan frowned and asked nonsense with his eyes open.

How could he, General Tiance, not know this?

"After the Yinyue Rebellion..." Yun You hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to Dan Heng. "Lord Bailu has not yet been able to inherit the power of the [Dragon Ancestor]."
