Fu Xuan: Aren't You Afraid of Repeating the Fanghu Incident? / Jing Yuan: Should I Trust You?
"That's right, I have some experience in this area."
"I wonder if Gwen could move himself from here to outside the Divination Department?"
I'm now dispatching my personal Winged Guard to the Divination Department to retrieve the items. Gwen, you will accompany them on the Star Skiff, change into your Cloud Cavalry attire, and return to the Divine Might Palace without further ado. What do you say?
Jing Yuan casually offered a suggestion.
"It's a small matter. When the time comes, the Yukong Helmsman will hand this item over to that Cloud Knight Lieutenant, and I can then make the transfer."
Gwen put his right hand in his pocket, casually picked up a stone containing a different kind of Imaginary Energy, and handed it to Yukong.
"Leave it to me."
Yukong, took one last look at Tingyun, squatted down and touched her ear, hugged her again, and whispered "It's alright" before turning to leave.
While Yukong was comforting Tingyun, Jing Yuan's projection was also operating remotely, turning on a projection for Gwen, indicating that the image would track the people he sent until they were on the Star Skiff. The projection then dissipated, leaving only Gwen and Tingyun in the room.
"It seems that Luofu is going through a lot of troubles right now, with all sorts of problems being gathered up and dealt with by that Annihilation Lord."
Seeing Tingyun's drooping fox ears and obvious low spirits, Gwen sighed softly and pulled her to sit down beside him.
Tingyun, who was attacked by the Annihilation Lord, was undoubtedly a victim. However, even if Yukong was willing to believe her, her duty as the Helmsman of the Divination Department forced her to maintain an objective attitude until everything was settled, and even after that, she could gain his complete trust.
This is undoubtedly unfair to Tingyun, but for the safety of the entire Luofu, both Yukong and Jing Yuan have no choice but to do so.
Gwen could do was offer some consolation.
"Yes, there are many worries. General Jing Yuan has the whole of Luofu in his heart, so he naturally has to consider everything carefully."
Hearing the comforting words from Gwen Tingyun, Tingyun's gloom lessened considerably, and a sweet smile appeared on her innocent face.
"It is already a great fortune for Tingyun that I was able to return to my hometown before causing a great disaster, thanks to the help of my benefactor."
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled and nodded, knowing that the child's physical condition had not had a significant impact on Tingyun's mind. As an adult whose age was likely greater than his and Elysia's combined, Tingyun clearly possessed remarkable self-regulation abilities. A little appropriate care would suffice, without needing Gwyn to say anything more.
"Look, General Jing Yuan's men have arrived—"
Tingyun suddenly raised her small, white hand and pointed to the image Jing Yuan had opened—
"That's Yanqing, a famous genius in Luofu. The general cherishes talent and has taken him under his wing. At a young age, he has already become Cloud Knight Lieutenant."
"Well, now that they're here, let's get ready."
Gwen nodded.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Might Palace, in response to Jing Yuan's dispatch of Yanqing to pick up the person, Fu Xuan, the Divination Department the Imperial Divination Bureau, who also appeared there in projection form, raised a question—
"Sending Yanqing there, don't you think it's too conspicuous?"
"Since this gentleman has come to help the Xianzhou out of a sense of loyalty, and has brought such crucial information, the Xianzhou should naturally treat him with the utmost hospitality—"
The Astral Express Crew was treated the way they were due to the influence of the Stellarons Hunters, but this gentleman, who remained outside the train and instead grew closer to that renowned genius, naturally deserved due attention.
Jing Yuan chuckled and offered a thousand reasons.
"Hmph, you're always right anyway."
Regarding Jing Yuan's actions, the straightforward Grand Diviner Fu crossed his arms, snorted, and offered no further comment, instead bringing up the old matter again—
Chapter 905 Fu Xuan: Aren't you afraid of repeating the old story of Fanghu?
"Now that an Annihilation Lord has most likely infiltrated Luofu, are you really not going to report this to the Alliance and request assistance?"
Fu Xuan was deeply puzzled by Jing Yuan's decision to remain inactive after hearing the news.
Even though Luofu has the home advantage, it is precisely because it is on Luofu own ship that it is even more necessary to concentrate overwhelming forces to encircle and suppress them, and to minimize the casualties caused as much as possible.
But in the face of the Annihilation Lord, it seems that only Jing Yuan can be considered among the top in Luofu...
If we don't report this to the league now, what are we waiting for?
"The Annihilation Lord is a matter of great importance and must be handled with utmost care."
Moreover, since the other party was able to seamlessly replace Tingyun and infiltrate Luofu, who can guarantee that there are no spies of the other party on other Xianzhou?
If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy.
Jing Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see Tingyun... or rather, the Annihilation Lord, leading the Astral Express Crew in pursuit of the Stellarons Hunters through the Divine Might Palace.
"But if you don't move, you'll be bitten to death by the snake!"
Fu Xuan found some truth in what he said, but it couldn't mask the fact that Luofu's combat strength was insufficient; the annoyance on his small face was almost impossible to conceal.
"If war breaks out, aren't you worried that the events of Fanghu will repeat themselves?"
"Oh..."
Seeing Fu Xuan Fu Xuan an ant on a hot pan, Jing Yuan chuckled.
"Of course I'm not worried—"
Firstly, while the Annihilation Lord is indeed dangerous, he is not as dangerous as the enemy the Alliance faced back then.
Secondly, although Luofu currently only has one ship anchored here, it is not isolated and without support. I still have two surprise forces at my disposal. Let's see what kind of person this genius Herta has taken a liking to."
"Can..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's anxious expression eased slightly, but he still wanted to say something. However, seeing Yanqing had already arrived in front of the hall, he shut his mouth and looked at the Cloud Cavalry soldiers following behind him.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Jing Yuan descended from above and greeted him warmly.
"It's a minor matter, but the equipment of the Cloud Knights has truly broadened my horizons."
Gwen removed his helmet, smiled, and waved his hand, saying—
Just as some Valkyrie armors may look like modified evening gowns but are actually high-performance combat suits, the Cloud Knights's armor may look like it came from an ancient costume drama, but it is actually a high-tech creation of the Xianzhou.
Like the Formation Blade in his hand, it is a genuine High-Molecular Vibration Blade.
Hmm, this is good stuff. I'll study it and make some blueprints to send to Velvie for reference.
"Oh...
As the main force of the Xianzhou, the Cloud Knights's equipment naturally cannot be too poor.
Jing Yuan smiled, not believing that Gwen could understand the standard equipment of the main force of the Xianzhou with just a glance, nor did he think that Gwen would have any ulterior motives, after all, he was a friend of a genius.
"By the way, this is the analysis data of the destructive power remaining on Tingyun's body. It might be of some help to you."
Gwen flipped his hand and took out another hard drive, handing it to Jing Yuan.
"I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."
Upon hearing this Jing Yuan, who was still considering how to bring it up, immediately became serious and solemnly accepted the item.
"You're welcome. The Anti-Matter Legion is the enemy of all intelligent life, and it's only right that it is."
Gwen smiled.
"Fu Qing, I will send you the data later. I'll have to trouble you then."
Jing Yuan nodded and looked at his Nuclear-Powered Ox-Horse... oh no, it was his Chosen Laborer, Fu Xuan Grand Diviner Fu.
"That's only natural..."
Fu Xuan nodded, though she pretended to be calm, even Yanqing could see her joy. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.
"As the head of the Divination Department, Fu Qing, Luofu is currently facing numerous challenges and needs the support of the Divination Department. Please forgive any rudeness, Gwen."
Jing Yuan then spoke to Gwen.
"General Jing Yuan has a good subordinate who can be so pragmatic in the face of great difficulties."
Gwen smiled and waved his hand. He had already taken off the armor of the Cloud Knights, stretched his body, and casually took out the Final Sword, which had been reforged several times.
"Huh?"
This sword...
Jing Yuan was taken aback when he sensed the strangely familiar aura emanating from the sword in Gwen's hand.
"General Jing Yuan can sense the aura of the Hunt above?"
Gwen asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Of course, although I am not good at fighting, I am still a general of the Xianzhou, and I would not be unable to recognize a person's aura..."
Jing Yuan's face showed just the right amount of curiosity—
"Sir, this sword seems to have been through a lot?"
"Um."
Gwen nodded, and at Jing Yuan's gesture, took a seat and sipped the tea that General Xianzhou had personally poured for him.
"General Jing Yuan, have you heard of the Myriad Arrows Command' issued by the Sea Ranger?"
"Nature."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan became solemn, and even Yanqing, who was standing to the side, cast a curious glance at him.
"Although I have been confined by worldly affairs on the Xianzhou and have not been able to go out for a long time, I once longed for the life of Sea Ranger when I was young, so I have naturally heard of the name of this thing..."
Could this sword be related to the Myriad Arrows Command?
"Well, when I first obtained this sword, it was a broken sword that had survived by chance from a destroyed civilization. Even though it still retained a little bit of strange power, it was already a remnant."
By chance, I met a Sea Ranger had participated in the siege of the Annihilation Lord Zhuluo. After helping him fulfill his wish, the Myriad Arrows Command in his hand, along with the heroic souls, repaired the broken sword.
Armed with that sword, I fought against the enemies of my own civilization, but the Hunt spirit within had already dissipated.
Now, this sword is forged by me, drawing upon the will of countless heroic souls, and forged from the very bones and blood of the enemies of civilization.
Even though a long time has passed, Gwen still feels deeply moved when he recalls the scene of countless heroic souls joining hands.
"In this way...
This sword can certainly be called legendary.
After hearing Gwen's account, even Jing Yuan couldn't help but show a look of amazement.
"I wonder what this sword is called now?"
"End--"
Gwen slowly uttered a single word—
"This sword was forged by that civilization to end its calamity, and it also ended the endless disasters for my civilization. This name is just right."
"Indeed..."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly, deeply moved.
While feeling emotional, Jing Yuan asked about the patrol patrol again, with a very sincere look in his eyes——
"Speaking of which, after besieging and killing the Annihilation Lord Zhuluo and thwarting the Primeval Doctor's conspiracy, the Sea Ranger gradually faded out of the Milky Way's view, and even the Xianzhou could hardly contact him."
"If Gwen can still contact that Sea Ranger, could you please introduce me to him?"
The Hunt aura emanating from the sword was undeniable, making Jing Yuan more willing to trust Gwen. However, the discrepancy between Gwen's account and his own self-perception still made Jing Yuan slightly hesitant.
"Of course, he is currently teaching in my civilization and is still a complete Nameless. However, I cannot guarantee whether he can contact other Sea Ranger."
Chapter 906 Jing Yuan: Should I believe you?
"Hehe, since the battle with the Primeval Doctor, the Alliance has not received any news from the Sea Ranger for a long time."
Even if we can't contact them directly this time, it's always good to know more.
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded.
Gwen put down his teacup and looked behind Jing Yuan at the plainclothes youth who had brought him to the Divine Might Palace—
Yanqing, a genius young man from Luofu who shares the same name as Fu Hua's fifth disciple and Li Sushang's fifth martial uncle—
Although she is arguably the fastest to fall from grace among the initial five-star characters in terms of game strength, and also suffers repeated defeats in the story, she can be considered a version of Ryoma in Honkai: Star Rail.
But just like when playing the Bronya can't beat the legend meme, you need to realize that those who beat Bronya are all gods, those who educate Yanqing, such as Blade and Jingliu, are basically seniors of the same generation or even higher than his master Jing Yuan.
It's like assigning Elder Mu Gu as Xiao Yan's opponent right after he left Wutan City—a completely unrelated fault.
At this moment, this fledgling, unpolished young genius was staring intently at the Final Sword in his hand.
"Want to see?"
