He was thinking about how best to start the conversation.

However, we need to understand the current situation first.

The incident happened suddenly, and Jing Yuan couldn't possibly take control of the whole situation all at once.

He had guessed that Lin Shuang might want to go to Scalegorge Waterscape, but he really didn't expect that this person could act so quickly.

However, even Jing Yuan, one of the parties involved in the Xianzhou incident, felt that things were developing abnormally fast.

Now that Lin Shuang has taken the initiative to get involved, will Phantylia also feel that things are developing too fast?

Was Lin Shuang's action intended to lure Phantylia out?

After all, Lin Shuang's personality is different from his; she doesn't seem to like planning things out before making decisions.

A great deal of thought swirled in Jing Yuan's mind as he speculated about Lin Shuang's plans and the possible developments.

The greatest enemy of the Xianzhou remains the lurking Phantylia.

How could this Xianzhou possibly be guarded against thieves for a thousand days?

Now that Jianmu has made a move, Phantylia should also make a new move.

Just as Jing Yuan was pondering...

Meanwhile, Phantylia was sitting calmly, ready to continue watching the show.

But the sudden revival of the Jianmu made her put down her tea.

It's ahead of schedule.

According to Phantylia's original plan, if Danshu couldn't help but take action, then he would recover in a day.

If Danshu can endure it, then it will be three days later.

Danshu's abilities are limited to this; she doesn't have the capacity to bring forward the time when Jianmu revived to this point.

Phantylia never believed that Danshu would remain loyal to him after the previous events.

But now...

Someone disrupted the plans.

"Hmph... someone not part of the plan, huh?"

Phantylia wasn't in a good mood.

Originally, according to the plan, the Crafting Division and the Alchemy Commission were supposed to cause some major disturbances to distract the Xianzhou.

When most of the Cloud Knights went to provide disaster relief, and the Abundant Doses started causing trouble.

That is the time for Jianmu to revive and for Phantylia to reap its Fruits.

However, at present, the Crafting Division and the Alchemy Commission are only making small-scale moves, while the Jianmu has already recovered.

To put it bluntly...

The troubles on the Xianzhou aren't big enough yet.

So Phantylia was very angry.

"Last time it was Lin Shuang, and now it's back again! Very well, let me see who your secret weapon on this Xianzhou really is."

She subconsciously believed that all of this was Jing Yuan's scheme.

He deliberately used the revival of the Jianmu to disrupt her plans and lure her out.

Right now Phantylia's only advantage is that he's still operating in the shadows.

And although Danshu knew her purpose, given Danshu personality, she shouldn't have told Jing Yuan the information.

Phantylia believed she had seen through Danshu.

Danshu has long lost the will to live; her only thought is probably to see her and Xianzhou fight to the death and both be severely injured.

In this way, if someone is prepared to take advantage of another's unpreparedness, her plan can proceed smoothly.

As well as...

As the general of the Xianzhou Boat, Jing Yuan could not possibly dismantle the seal of the Scalegorge Waterscape by force.

Unless the Xianzhou Alliance wants to turn against the Sushang.

Even the Luofu Sushang themselves cannot break that seal now.

The Jianmu has just been revived, and the Stellaron has exploded. An ordinary person should be dead by now, or at least crippled.

Thus, the situation is favorable to Phantylia.

Furthermore, Phantylia's unique nature, coupled with her strength, allows her to violently infiltrate the Scalegorge Waterscape.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Jing Yuan to appear beneath the seal of the Scalegorge Waterscape.

It's unlikely that Lin Shuang would do that, unless she were to Sushang.

Even if Lin Shuang were to leave now, as long as Jing Yuan isn't around, Phantylia is still confident he can defeat her.

He was just someone who borrowed power. If Jing Yuan hadn't suddenly intervened, Lin Shuang's sword strike alone would have only caused Phantylia some trouble.

Lin Shuang will definitely die afterward; Phantylia will at most suffer some injuries.

Phantylia quickly considered the two enemies he was most wary of.

She knew Lin Shuang was on the Xianzhou and was probably waiting for her to show up.

Although Phantylia was angry, he was still confident in his strength. Even though he was still seriously injured, he was still Emanator.

Even if most of their strength is gone, they are still not someone an ordinary Pathstrider can easily take advantage of.

The important thing now is the Jianmu Fruit.

With the revival of the Jianmu, the Fruits will ripen in no time.

If things proceed as planned, Phantylia will have plenty of time to watch the show a little longer.

After all, the Scalegorge Waterscape is a natural, uninhabited forbidden zone, Sushang can indeed sneak in.

But... judging from the performance of those few Dragon Master...

Phantylia wasn't worried at all that they would dare steal what he wanted.

But now that something has changed, we can't afford to delay any longer.

The Jianmu has recovered ahead of schedule, and its first Fruits will soon ripen.

The person who caused the trouble probably wouldn't have left the Jianmu Fruit there.

Phantylia doesn't go now, someone else might steal his thunder.

Once he swallows the Jianmu Fruit, his strength will not only return to its peak, but may even improve significantly.

At that time, neither Jing Yuan nor Lin Shuang will be able to escape.

Phantylia that thought in mind, Huanlong decisively abandoned the body he was currently using, transformed into a ball of flame, and flew towards the Scalegorge Waterscape.

254

Chapter 254 Huanlong will Phantylia not be able to eat this fruit!

Below the Scalegorge Waterscape.

The sudden eruption of the Stellaron and the revival of Jianmu came very quickly.

But these two things are never the kind of things that release power gently.

Two harmful forces erupted at the same time.

If an ordinary Xianzhou native stood here, they would instantly fall into demonic darkness and be instantly killed by the power of the Stellaron.

Of course, Lin Shuang is no ordinary person. Her body, honed by daily battles against Nihility, is further enhanced by her past experience wielding the power of Stellaron.

With the Cloudsong Arts and the Heliobus Full Load Bottle, the area damage is quite large, and Lin Shuang hasn't actually invested in any defensive attributes.

But if they rely on their Power of the Permanence to withstand it, they can still endure it.

At worst, they'll get injured; they won't die.

Once Jianmu has completely swallowed the Stellaron and its root system has stabilized, it will naturally survive.

At the moment the Stellaron erupted and the Jianmu surged, this was what Lin Shuang was thinking.

So Lin Shuang simply took out her longsword and thrust it into the ground to steady herself and avoid being swept away by the water flow.

But Danshu thought differently.

In the instant the crisis erupted, images flashed before her eyes like a slideshow of the time she learned of the death of her only friend.

Last time I was in Luofu, there was nothing I could do.

All I could do was helplessly wait for the death of a close friend.

Danshu had thought countless times that it would be better for him to die on the front lines with his friends than to live alone.

She hated the Reignbow Arbiter, but how could she not also hate her own weakness and powerlessness?

I used to be unable to do anything...

Danshu once again recalled that despairing feeling of powerlessness.

But this time...

Bright eyes turned to look at Lin Shuang, whose expression was resolute, and clearly saw her drawing her Greatsword.

Danshu's eyes had been unable to see people, so she was even more able to sense who cared about her without any ulterior motives.

The person who was once there is also Lin Shuang, this outsider.

Therefore, Danshu took his first step.

She abandoned her chance to escape and flashed to Lin Shuang's side.

He used his body to block Jianmu and Lin Shuang.

An unfamiliar, Power of Abundance spread from Danshu's body, attempting to isolate Lin Shuang within it.

Although the power was obtained through unorthodox means, it is still Power of Abundance nonetheless.

Lin Shuang stared wide-eyed, meeting Danshu's gaze in disbelief.

"You..."

Lin Shuang was shocked that Danshu had actually stood in front of her, trying to protect her from the sudden disaster.

Danshu felt a pain spreading through his body, as if his entire body was being torn apart.

Instead, he revealed a sinister smile.

"Young friend, this was all my fault. I cannot allow you to get hurt."

This kind of restless energy comes on fiercely, but dissipates just as quickly.

The perilous atmosphere quickly subsided as the Stellaron was completely swallowed by Jianmu.

Even the uprising of the Jianmu gradually subsided near its roots.

"Cough cough--!!"

Danshu, whose pressure had suddenly eased, staggered and nearly fell over.

She bent over and coughed violently, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Shuang reached out and helped him up.

Danshu waved his hand at Lin Shuang, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to stand up, panting.

Her Scythe of Annihilation's regenerative abilities allowed her to recover quickly.

Although his face was still pale, at least he didn't look as dangerous as before.

"I'm fine. The Scythe of Annihilation has a strong recovery ability; I'll be fine after a while... More importantly, look, the Jianmu is bearing fruit."

Danshu raised his hand and pointed to the Dragon Head -like root.

On that Dragon Horns- like branch, a bright green Flower Bud quietly sprouted.
