Chapter 595

"Quickly, invite them in!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the staff of the Divine General's Manor immediately went to the outside of the Divine General's Manor and invited Lin Yu, who had just arrived, into the Divine General's Manor.

"Brother Lin Yu."

Looking at Lin Yu, who was clearly unharmed, Jing Yuan asked tentatively.

"How is the battle going...?"

"General, as I said before—I am absolutely certain, and this is not an empty boast."

After revealing the aggregate of the Phantylia fragments he had collected, Lin Yu smiled and said to Jing Yuan.

"This thing is enough to prove what I said, isn't it?"

"... really."

The Suiyang aggregate that Lin Yu forcibly gathered together at this moment cannot be considered Phantylia.

However, even those fragments of the Phantylia possess a terrifyingly powerful destiny.

Although Jing Yuan could sense that the strength of these Destiny Forces was declining... this precisely demonstrated that Lin Yu had indeed resolved the Phantylia.

Nanook may be considered a madman by others, but he is not an idiot.

Phantylia is dead, he naturally has to reclaim the portion of power that he gave to Phantylia.

However, from this perspective, since Lin Yu killed Phantylia, the cover that Jing Yuan could provide for him was very limited.

The Scourge of Annihilation already knew that his limbs had been severed, and naturally, he would also notice the person who severed his limbs.

In other words, Nanook now knows that Lin Yu is the real culprit who killed Phantylia, so the Stellaron Hunters will definitely be targeted even more ruthlessly by the Anti-Matter Legion in the future.

The killing of Phantylia, viewed in isolation, did indeed help the Stellaron Hunters and the Xianzhou Alliance eliminate future troubles in a phased manner.

But this matter...

If Jing Yuan set aside his own identity and thought about it from a third-party perspective, he felt that Lin Yu had gone a bit too far.

It's not that the Destruction Lord can't die, but compared to being killed by the people of the Stellaron Hunters, it would actually be more in the Stellaron Hunters's interest for Phantylia to die on the side of the Xianzhou Alliance.

However, considering that the Nameless Ones organization rarely prioritizes themselves when helping others... Lin Yu's actions at this moment are actually quite in line with the Nameless Ones' image and style of doing things.

Regardless of the cost to themselves, they selflessly assist those in need...

Honestly, even stepping outside the perspective of the Luofu Cloud Knights General, Jing Yuan, after asking himself honestly, was quite certain that he couldn't do such a thing.

People are selfish. Even if Jing Yuan is not a bad person, he will still consider the situation and analyze it before deciding whether to lend a helping hand when helping others.

But Lin Yu...

Perhaps he had his own reasons.

However, in Jing Yuan's eyes, even if Lin Yu had his own considerations, he still gave people a 'terrible' feeling.

This terrible feeling doesn't mean Lin Yu is a bad person, but rather that Lin Yu isn't a normal person.

He seemed to be suffering from some kind of psychological trauma, using this method to heal his inner wounds.

As for why Jing Yuan made this judgment after knowing Lin Yu for only one day, it was mainly because he, as Cloud Knight General, had seen a lot in this regard.

It's normal for the Cloud Knights soldiers who went to the battlefield with him to feel similar sadness after experiencing countless battles and life-and-death separations.

If that's all there is to it, then the matter ends here.

However—for those Xianzhou native, if they develop inner problems or have an unhealthy mindset, they may fall into the Mara-struck.

Over the years, Jing Yuan has seen many similar things. It is precisely because he has seen so much that he can judge that Lin Yu may have similar pain in his heart on the day he first met Lin Yu.

Now that things have come to this, Jing Yuan could only sigh inwardly and try to provide his newly acquainted friend with some conveniences in other ways.

After all, without touching on the other person's inner pain, this was all Jing Yuan could do in his capacity.

Meanwhile, within the Divination Department

Inside the Divination Department, Tingyun, who should have been in despair, slowly opened her eyes.

Then, upon seeing his revered superior, Yukong Kong, Tingyun...

Of course, I didn't let my guard down just like that.

The Miss Fox, who had been possessed by Phantylia before, had escaped the despairing illusion with Lin Yu's help, but she had not forgotten the scene she had seen.

Before she fell into the illusion, a woman who looked exactly like her walked up to her with a smile.

Although Tingyun in an illusion, she did not forget the Tingyun and was well aware that the other party had the ability to transform into other people.

Since that enemy could transform into Tingyun, he could naturally also transform into Yukong. Although she didn't think she had any use for this mysterious person, the alert Tingyun, while showing a relaxed expression, was still full of vigilance towards the 'Yukong' in front of her.

"Yes, very good."

Looking at the Tingyun before him, Yukong nodded slightly.

"The fact that you can still maintain sufficient vigilance when you see me shows that you have not been seriously harmed."

"This... Yukong is joking."

Although a hint of panic arose in Tingyun's heart after her thoughts were exposed, she still smiled and got up from the hospital bed, bowing to Yukong.

"I just feel a little nervous Yukong Lord Yukong by my side at this time."

"You are my respected boss, so why would I be wary of you?"

"Okay, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing."

Seeing that Tingyun was still keeping a close watch on him, Yukong patted her shoulder with satisfaction and said to Tingyun.

"We've known each other for so long, and when you lie, your tail unconsciously twitches – you should probably change that habit."

"You are the successor I have chosen. When you take over Divination Department in the future, I don't want you to make any mistakes in these details."

"... I have been rude."

After Yukong finished speaking, Tingyun finally realized that the other party was almost certainly her superior.

Honestly, this little quirk of hers is something that only people who have known her for a long time would notice.

After all, Tingyun, as the chief representative of the Shipwright Department group "Minghuo," was born with a clever mind and eloquent tongue.

When Tingyun needs to deceive others, Tingyun only needs to rely on the information gap between the two parties and throw out some truthful but incomplete statements, which is enough to successfully deceive the other party without lying.

A scenario where you need to Tingyun and lie directly...

Sigh, it's been a long time since I've encountered something like this.

Seeing that the wariness in Tingyun's eyes had completely disappeared, Yukong also resumed his usual slightly dignified demeanor.

"The one who attacked you was one of the messengers of the Scourge of Annihilation, the Destruction Lord, Phantylia."

"Although the turmoil caused by Phantylia this time is related to you, we all know that you did not have the means to resist her in this matter."

"If the Destruction Lord wants to make a move against someone, no matter how hard he tries, he will only become a pawn in the other party's hands."

"... However, this is still my fault."

Upon hearing Yukong's words, Tingyun immediately addressed Yukong with utmost solemnity.

"Please don't try to excuse me, Yukong. I... will try my best to take responsibility."

"Since Yukong Kong is here now, it means that this turmoil has ended."

After taking a deep breath of fresh air and preparing herself mentally, Tingyun asked Yukong directly.

"May I ask—what level of casualties did the turmoil caused by Phantylia result in for our Luofu Xianzhou?"

"About this..."

At this moment, Yukong's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"Well, firstly, some residents' houses have been damaged."

Sure enough, some people have already encountered misfortune.

"Secondly, about fifty Cloud Knights suffered physical and mental injuries."

Even the Cloud Knights... wait, how come there are only fifty??

After hearing what Yukong said, Tingyun suddenly realized that this number was very strange.

It's not that Tingyun dislikes the Cloud Knights or thinks more of Cloud Knights should die—as an insider of the Luofu Xianzhou, how could she possibly have such malicious thoughts about the Cloud Knights who guard the ship?

On the contrary, in Tingyun's eyes, the low casualties of the Cloud Knights were definitely a good thing.

But something's not right. The Lord of Annihilation is the most terrifying subordinate of the Ancestor of Destruction, and the Ancestor of Destruction, Nanuk, is a mad god who embodies the destiny of [destruction].

His Anti-Matter Legion can be described as the most powerful mad dog group in the universe—no matter who they encounter, the Anti-Matter Legion will choose to attack them.

The Star God's messenger attacked the Luofu Xianzhou, yet the Cloud Knights only suffered fifty casualties...

Am I still asleep?

How could they even mishear that number—only fifty people? How is that possible?

Or perhaps Yukong was trying to comfort her, so he lowered the number.

"Yeah, I knew you wouldn't believe the number I gave you."

After realizing Tingyun's thoughts, Yukong did not show any annoyance, but nodded decisively.

"In fact, if Fu Taibu hadn't done the statistics several times to get this data, I wouldn't have believed that our losses this time were only this much."

"However, these are undoubtedly facts. As for why the Luofu Xianzhou was able to achieve such a great victory this time..."

"—We have to thank the guests from the Stellaron Hunters for everything."

PS: 4K, 8,000 today, more to come later.

Trailblaze Chapter 47. They may have lost Acheron, but they still have me.

The passengers of the Stellaron Hunters...

Upon hearing Yukong mention that group of people, Tingyun paused for a moment before instantly understanding.

If Yukong wasn't trying to comfort Tingyun, then the fact that the Luofu Xianzhou suffered so few casualties after being attacked by the messenger suggests that someone was definitely helping them.

Considering the reputation of the nameless passengers on the Stellaron Hunters throughout the universe, they genuinely help others.

Before Tingyun into a coma, Lin Yu, the Benefactor who had saved her, seemed to have a conversation with General Jing Yuan.

As a businessman, Tingyun knew the importance of intelligence for his work.

Could it be that after his Benefactor visited the Divine General's Manor, he provided General Jing Yuan with enough intelligence to help the general devise a way to counter the Destruction Lord Phantylia?

But that's not enough.

Tingyun didn't know exactly how terrifying Phantylia's strength was, but she was certain that even if General Jing Yuan had planned ahead, a master of this caliber wouldn't have been so humiliatingly kicked out of the Luofu Xianzhou.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Destruction Lord Scourge of Annihilation is roughly equal in strength to the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow of the Divine Archer.

Tingyun imagined for a moment that the two Jing Yuan, controlling the Divine Firmament Thunder Palace General Commander, were exchanging blows on the Luofu Xianzhou, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This... this is terrifying.

However, Tingyun quickly put these thoughts out of her mind.

She was very concerned about the current situation of Luofu Xianzhou, but even her boss Yukong, who was very serious about work, felt that since nothing major had happened to Luofu, the actual situation of Luofu Xianzhou must be very good.

With nothing going wrong in his hometown, Tingyun felt that figure appear in his mind and couldn't shake it off.

"Yukong."

"What's wrong?"

After the incident was resolved, Yukong was naturally not as serious as usual.

At this moment, she looked at Tingyun with a relaxed expression and asked with slight concern.

Is there anything else that's bothering you?

"No, I'm fine..."
