Chapter 594

At this moment, Lin Yi looked at the location of Jianmu, and her expression suddenly became extremely calm.

Apart from the sudden movement of the big tree, there wasn't actually much of a commotion over there.

The commotion... wasn't very loud?

Recalling what he had seen before, Dan Heng felt that... his and Lin Yi's standards for judging whether a commotion was big or small must be vastly different.

He saw not only the Jianmu growing, but also a huge and powerful spirit appearing.

That was clearly a special power that Jing Yuan, one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow, could use; even the messenger had already made a move...

—If this isn't considered a huge commotion, then how terrifying must a huge commotion be in her eyes?

"After all, my stinky old man has put a portion of his resources into me to ensure my safety."

"The fact that he hasn't withdrawn that power to fight shows that he hasn't been pushed to the brink. Furthermore, considering that he calmly sought out General Jing Yuan of the Luofu Xianzhou to chat after arriving Luofu Xianzhou..."

"I highly doubt that the reason he acted alone was simply because he already had a plan to deal with the enemy."

"Besides, the battle of the Cloud Knights is actually almost over."

After closing her eyes, Lin Yi felt the flow of the wind around her and showed a very peaceful expression to everyone.

"Yes, I can feel it, it's almost over."

"It's not that we can let our guard down, but right now, instead of thinking about how to fight, I think we should think about what good food and fun things there are to do on the Luofu Xianzhou."

"... Um, Xiao Yi."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, March 7th, who had previously felt no tension at all, finally saw what it meant to be 'not nervous'.

She felt she had been quite lax in her attitude towards Xianzhou, but now, after Lin Yi's words, March 7th began to reflect...

Is she being a little too nervous?

However, as the group moved with Dan Heng, they encountered a group of Cloud Knights cleaning up the mess, and only then did they realize that what Lin Yi said seemed to be true.

"Ah, how many guests are there?"

After recognizing the train crew, the Cloud Knights who had initially been attacked by the monsters at the port addressed the group.

"Thanks to the Stellaron Hunters's assistance, our Cloud Knights was able to achieve almost zero casualties in this battle. The general said that it was all because of the Stellaron Hunters that we were able to win this battle so easily."

"Ah???"

Hearing the Cloud Knights's praise, March 7th paused for a moment before quietly agreeing with his companions.

"Are we really doing something that outrageous?"

"It wasn't us."

Hearing the Cloud Knights's praise, Xingma responded quietly.

"It must have been Uncle Yang and Lin Yu who helped the Cloud Knights defeat the incredibly powerful enemy."

"Oh, by the way, that gentleman with glasses is currently helping the Cloud Knights in other areas clean up the mess, so you don't need to worry about his safety."

Sure enough, Uncle Yang was not only unharmed, but also had the strength to help the Immortal Boat deal with the Voidmote.

Sigh, Dad seemed to know something from the beginning, but he didn't say a word to us—I'm really fed up with him.

And you always try to solve everything by yourself. Weren't we supposed to be out having fun in the first place?

Now, things have escalated to this point...

Sigh, no wonder Mom say, 'It's a good thing your dad goes out to play; he'd better actually go out and build a harem.'

Now I understand the meaning of that sentence.

Anyway, there are already enough people in the family, and everyone has long since accepted reality over the past ten years.

Compared to their fathers having affairs, Mom are definitely more worried about their fathers having affairs that disregard their own safety.

With such a commotion, even Jing Yuan might have already gone out to meet the enemy.

Even the envoy was alarmed, so what big commotion is he planning to make next time...?

At that moment, Xing, who was about to ask Cloud Knights about some other matters, suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him from behind.

Looking back, Xing suddenly realized that Lin Yi was staring at her intently.

A strange light was now flickering in her dark green eyes.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

Upon noticing Lin Yi's unusual condition, Xing walked over to Lin Yi and looked at her with great concern.

"That punch just now... did it make you feel uncomfortable right now?"

"No, no, I was just thinking—what should we do on the Fairy Boat after this is all over?"

Hmm, Sister Xing's senses are a bit too sharp; she was able to detect me watching her in an instant.

Forget it, I'd better stop thinking about how to get assists.

The situation is much better now. Sister Xing didn't lay a hand on her father—purely because she hasn't faced her true self yet.

If I were to interfere haphazardly at this point, it might backfire.

Do not move it.

While I don't expect anyone to be able to keep my dad from leaving, if he had a lover by his side, he might have a few more concerns...

Sigh, I always feel that all this thinking is just wishful thinking on my part.

I know perfectly well how much my dad values me.

Even with his daughter by his side, he didn't stop his promiscuous behavior; and after having a lover by his side...

—Will this really help him calm down a little?

Approximately three hours later, at the Divine General's Manor.

Inside the Divine General's Manor, after leading the Cloud Knights to defeat the Anti-Matter Legion that had invaded the Luofu Xianzhou, Jing Yuan looked at the report before him and could only feel...

—Sigh, this time it was really too comfortable.

Having served as one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow for many years, Jing Yuan has experienced countless battles, both large and small.

However, after so many battles and encountering trivial matters such as the "Envoy Invasion," "Internal Traitor," and "Star Core Eruption," the casualties on the Luofu Xianzhou are now pitifully small.

To be honest, although he knew beforehand that the arrival of Lin Yu, a kind guest, was a blessing for their Luofu Xianzhou, it was only after seeing the specific numbers that Jing Yuan truly understood just how great the benefits this person had brought to the Luofu Xianzhou were.

The invasion of the Envoy, the internal turmoil stirred up by the Anti-Matter Legion, the secret machinations of the Medicine Master's Legacy, and the chaos caused by the Star Core within the Luofu Xianzhou —any one of these events alone would be enough to cause massive casualties on the Luofu Xianzhou.

However, after the stellar core erupted, the people on the Stellaron Hunters suddenly appeared and solved almost all of his problems.

Despite being outmaneuvered by Lin Yu, Phantylia did not actually suffer any major damage.

After Dan Shu, the leader of the Medicine Master's Legacy, was directly arrested by Lin Yu, the Medicine Master's Legacy naturally became a bunch of useless things and were immediately crushed by the Cloud Knights.

As for the star core... After Lin Yu replaced the star core that Phantylia had prepared with a problematic one, the problems caused by the star core gradually disappeared.

It can be said that although the Luofu Xianzhou was the main battlefield in this turmoil, the real main force was not Jing Yuan and the Cloud Knights he led.

During this upheaval, the Cloud Knights defeated the Medicine Master's Legacy and the Anti-Matter Legion on the main battlefield.

In two of those battles, the guest named Welt even helped the Cloud Knights deal with a large number of enemies.

In this situation, although the Cloud Knights fought very hard, what they were actually doing was...

All that's left is to wipe out the defeated enemy.

In reality, the one who could truly bring disaster to Luofu was Phantylia, who had been secretly plotting for a long time.

If Phantylia were to actually activate Jianmu using the Star Core, and ultimately obtain the Star Core, Jianmu, and create a physical body, Phantylia would definitely become an enemy that the Luofu Xianzhou would find difficult to defeat.

Facing such a formidable enemy, Luofu Xianzhou might win, but even if it does, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

But now—is there some major problem with the Luofu Xianzhou?

Apart from the fact that the resurgence of Jianmu startled some people, the damage to the ordinary property of some civilians during the battle, and the physical and mental injuries suffered by a very small number of Cloud Knights soldiers, the losses in the Battle of Luofu were almost zero.

"General..."

Looking at his mentor, Yanqing said helplessly.

"Stop laughing. You've been laughing all day, and it's starting to scare me a little."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

After suppressing his smile, Jing Yuan spoke to Qing Xuan beside him.

"Qing Xuan, please notify the relevant department for me..."

"—Spread the word that the Luofu Xianzhou defeated the [Scourge of Annihilation] envoy."

PS: Given that a generous reader tipped me 600 blades yesterday [this is the first time this book has received such a large sum of money from a reader], I'll celebrate today by updating 20,000 words, including this 4K chapter, and finishing it before 6 AM on the 21st.

Trailblaze Chapter 46. I guess I'm still half asleep.

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's command, Qing Xuan paused for a moment before asking Jing Yuan in a rare low voice.

"General, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

As one of Jing Yuan's most trusted subordinates, Qing Xuan knew very well that General Jing Yuan was essentially a wise general.

While his decisions may not have been flawless, they were generally convincing to those around him.

But this time...

After a moment's thought, Qing Xuan continued to advise Jing Yuan.

"Even if Mr. Lin Yu hadn't returned yet, and even if he had, he..."

"Hmm, you mean to say that Brother Lin Yu might be bragging or failed to handle Phantylia?"

Hearing Qing Xuan's question, Jing Yuan smiled and continued.

"Do you still think that taking the initiative to take responsibility for killing the Scourge of Annihilation will cause more trouble for the Xianzhou Alliance?"

"... That's exactly right."

Realizing that her boss had seen through her worries, Qing Xuan stopped hiding her thoughts and her face showed obvious concern.

"The Phantylia Invasion didn't cause any major disaster. Although the Anti-Matter Legion is the common enemy of the entire universe, if this were to be made public now..."

"I know that this is tantamount to openly declaring war on the Anti-Matter Legion."

"But—this was my original purpose."

At this moment, the two people beside Jing Yuan felt an extremely terrifying aura emanating from Jing Yuan, which was quite rare.

"In the history of the Immortal Ship, the Anti-Matter Legion has also fought against the Alliance, so we have always been vigilant about the movement of the Legion's forces."

"But in the past we were only on guard, but now, Phantylia's actions undoubtedly prove that the Anti-Matter Legion has been overstepping its bounds in the Xianzhou Alliance."

"The other side has already extended their reach. Now that we have severed the limbs of the Scourge of Annihilation, then—even if we continue with our past practices, it will be of no use."

"Instead of continuing to maintain a lukewarm approach, it would be better to emulate the Divine Archer and show sufficient courage and momentum after defeating the enemy."

Yanqing, who was watching Jing Yuan, could feel that his mentor's aura was still rising steadily.

"Since the two sides are already locked in a life-or-death struggle, why not just announce it to the universe and let other forces that have overstepped our Xianzhou Alliance think twice about whether they have enough power to reach out to us?"

"Moreover, this move will not only enhance Luofu's reputation, but also help our friends save some unnecessary trouble."

"... I see."

As Jing Yuan's right-hand woman, Qing Xuan was no ordinary person.

As soon as Jing Yuan said this, she immediately understood his intention.

By spreading the news of Phantylia's defeat at the hands of Luofu Xianzhou, not only will the morale of the warriors within the Xianzhou Alliance be greatly boosted, but the guests who came to help Luofu Xianzhou free of charge will also be spared a lot of unnecessary trouble.

In other words, General Jing Yuan's actions not only boosted morale but also shielded the Stellaron Hunters from a lot of trouble.

"General!"

While Qing Xuan was still pondering this matter, a staff member from the Divine General's Manor suddenly approached the three of them and spoke to Jing Yuan in a hurried tone.

"Mr. Lin Yu is outside the Divine General's Manor— "
