Lin Shuang: Sister Acheron! It's Your Turn to Step In
Jing Yuan put one hand to his forehead, looking a little anxious.
She knew Lin Shuang had many secrets, but that didn't mean she could touch the Jianmu without permission.
"What you're saying is ridiculous. We're actually trying to help Luofu. If the Jianmu could be moved directly, you wouldn't have to live in constant fear."
Lin Shuang spoke with absolute confidence, but Jing Yuan was utterly helpless. He couldn't understand where this person got her confidence from.
"That's true, but that's not how it works."
The Xianzhou Luofu is not his personal fiefdom.
As an outsider, you took away the Jianmu. Even if Jing Yuan trusts you, can the other Xianzhou trust you?
What if you turn around and accidentally plant the Jianmu in the home of Denizens of Abundance?
If you're the Hunt miracles, that's easier to say; someone acknowledged by your own Aeon sounds better that way.
But these Abundance ruins are truly quite different.
"Just tell me, if this Jianmu is moved, will it have any impact on the safety of Luofu?"
"Such a massive object has roots that have already spread throughout Luofu itself. Taking it away rashly would be a bad thing for Luofu."
Jing Yuan gave Lin Shuang a brief explanation.
Putting aside the unique nature of the Jianmu itself, its sheer size alone would cause trouble for Luofu if it were taken away at will.
The roots of the Jianmu have long since disappeared; if they were truly taken away...
The entire Xianzhou Luofu is probably going to collapse into a terrible state.
When the Reignbow Arbiter wielded his sword, he broke the Jianmu but did not destroy its roots.
Could it be because the Aeon of the Hunt cannot be destroyed?
That's because the roots of the Jianmu have spread all over Luofu. To Destruction the roots, you would have to aim the arrows at Luofu itself.
Clearly, the Reignbow Arbiter is incapable of doing something like this.
Jing Yuan's explanation served as a reminder to Lin Shuang.
When she plays games, she doesn't specifically collect all the text in the game; she does it rather casually.
The explanation for this is really unclear.
But when Jing Yuan brought it up, Lin Shuang also remembered the roots of the Jianmu that had overturned the Gongzao Crafting Division.
Lin Shuang nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, I understand now. Speaking of which, now that the Jianmu has revived, does the Xianzhou have any less costly way to suppress it again?"
"..."
Jing Yuan sighed helplessly and shook his head with a wry smile at Lin Shuang.
No, there really isn't.
The relationship between Jianmu and Luofu is so complicated.
Destroying it directly won't work either, unless Luofu Xianzhou altogether.
But leaving it like this, a living Jianmu, is really dangerous.
Even if they defeat Phantylia this time.
As for the final outcome of dealing with Jianmu, it will probably have to be done by having the Reignbow Arbiter shoot an arrow at Jianmu.
Lin Shuang nodded again and looked at Acheron.
I started to wonder if, by relying on the power of The Nihility, it would be possible to cut off the roots and then carry away the Jianmu on it.
Although he didn't say anything, Acheron began to think seriously.
"If I were to unleash my full power, perhaps I could give it a try."
The Jianmu is indeed powerful, its Power of Abundance is inexhaustible and its quantity is also quite impressive.
However, the Jianmu itself was not used for attack, and its defensive capabilities were not ridiculously strong.
The key to cutting down Jianmu is to find a way to cut off their continuous life force.
Jing Yuan used all his Lightning-Lord power to sever the connection between Jianmu and Phantylia.
The connection between the Jianmu and Jianmu root system is clearly much closer than the connection between the tree and Phantylia.
Acheron could certainly feel the solidity of the Jianmu, but she felt that if she used her full strength to strike...
Taking advantage of its Nihility nature, it's not impossible to cut down this Jianmu.
"..."
Jing Yuan sighed again.
Oh well, let's just do whatever we want.
As long as you don't try to dig up the roots of the Jianmu, it's fine.
Jing Yuan still trusted Lin Shuang's bottom line for the time being.
From Jing Yuan's personal perspective, it's understandable that he'd want justice for someone like Danshu.
He trusted Lin Shuang's bottom line.
Jing Yuan was also curious whether the power of The Nihility would be more effective against the Jianmu.
Just then...
Energy fluctuations emanated from the direction of the entrance to the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Everyone turned their heads and looked into the distance.
Dan Heng unleashed the power of Imbibitor Lunae, along with Yanqing's flying sword, which was quite conspicuous.
In addition, its location near the entrance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Shuang smiled and gestured with her lips, urging:
"Let's put this matter aside for now, General. Why don't you go take a look over there first, and bring this guy with you too, lest you forget him later."
"..."
Jing Yuan had a feeling that Lin Shuang was changing the subject because she was probably planning something big.
But now that Dan Heng has adopted the demeanor of Imbibitor Lunae, it is indeed time to bring the people over.
So he had no choice but to pick up the still unconscious Sushang warrior, nod to Lin Shuang, and turn to leave.
Seeing Jing Yuan carrying the burden away into the distance.
Lin Shuang then smiled with satisfaction.
Reaching out and grabbing Acheron's hand, they walked towards the Sea Surface.
"Aren't we going to wait for them?"
"No, I told Jing Yuan this so Jing Yuan would know what happened, but Jing Yuan also has his difficulties as a general. It's definitely not convenient for him to come along for something like this."
Let Jing Yuan know the details Jing Yuan, so that he won't have a hard time writing the report.
However, it's not appropriate for Jing Yuan to be nearby when they're working.
It's good to make things convenient for others; it will also make it easier for Jing Yuan to cover for himself later.

Chapter 261 Lin Shuang: Sister Acheron! It's your turn to make a move.
Holding Acheron's hand, they walked into the sea.
Lin Shuang made a hand seal with one hand.
The surging seawater was easily parted in front of the two of them.
The sandy ground beneath was exposed.
Once the principle of the seal is understood, the rest is simply a matter of exerting effort and controlling it.
Lin Shuang, who carried the Dragon Lord Light Cone, had absolutely no problem controlling it.
Create a passage on top of this seal that allows two people to enter.
It was incredibly easy.
Acheron followed behind Lin Shuang, her hand being pulled along, but her gaze was fixed on Lin Shuang's Tail.
You can feel an immense power being controlled by this organ.
The two horns on their foreheads also possess a similar convergence of power.
Looking at Lin Shuang in this state, Acheron suddenly wanted to see what Lin Shuang would look like dressed as the Dragon Lord.
Her posture, no matter how you look at it, resembles that of Vidyadhara Dragon Lord with a Xianzhou aura.
Aside from the fact that the highly futuristic armor somewhat disrupts the overall atmosphere.
How about we go back and buy a suit of armor similar to Jing Yuan's?
Acheron reached out and scooped up the Tail that was waving in front of him, while pondering where he should go to have a set of Xianzhou- style clothing custom-made for Lin Shuang.
"Hey—what are you doing?!"
Suddenly caught by the Tail and tugged, Lin Shuang stumbled.
With a flushed face and puffed-up cheeks, she turned around and glared at Acheron.
We're doing something serious, your little hands aren't clean, where are you touching?
"I didn't do anything."
Acheron clung to Lin Shuang's Tail, refusing to let go, while feigning innocence.
"It's all because you kept hovering in front of me; I couldn't resist the urge to grab you."
"...?"
Lin Shuang stared wide-eyed at Acheron.
"When it comes to blatantly lying, you're the best! Let go of me!"
Which side should we put it on?
Acheron bowed her head in greeting. At this moment, she held Lin Shuang's hand with one hand and was pulling on the tip of Lin Shuang's Tail with the other.
Both hands were occupied.
What do you think?
"Oh."
Acheron smiled, his eyes full of laughter as he stared at Lin Shuang, then released his grip on Lin Shuang's hand.
He kept the tip of Lin Shuang's Tail in his palm.
"..."
Lin Shuang was speechless. What kind of time is this to be acting silly?
Just because there's no one around, right?
I'm not going to care about you anymore.
Lin Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Acheron, but she didn't intend to dwell on the matter any longer.
It simply used its Tail to pull Acheron down.
With Lin Shuang breaking the seal, the two quickly returned to the location of the Jianmu roots.
At this point, neither the Stellaron nor the Fruits could be seen on the roots of the Jianmu.
Only a closed Flower Bud floated below, with no one in sight.
"Is this the Jianmu?"
