Crisis Averted; Lin Shuang Makes a Killing.

Although they are both women, Acheron and Lin Shuang's expressions at this moment were far too ambiguous.

In particular, when March 7th noticed the same Ring on Lin Shuang's ring finger as the one on Acheron's hand, her face turned bright red.

After all, customs differ from world to world.

However, wearing matching sets of jewelry also carries a universal sense of ambiguity in the universe.

So, while her eyes darted around, March 7th also silently prayed for Xing's heartbreak.

"Cough..."

Uncle Yang, on the other hand, is usually very serious and doesn't smile much.

Upon witnessing this scene, for some reason, she pushed up her glasses, coughed lightly, and revealed a slight, maternal smile.

Although the sudden appearance of these two faces in front of him was somewhat unsettling.

But the fact that familiar faces have found happiness can still bring satisfaction to someone like Welt.

Jing Yuan had already guessed the ambiguous relationship between the two, so he simply ignored their posture.

Instead, he smiled and watched seriously as Lin Shuang absorbed the last part of Phantylia's power.

"Is this the final part of Phantylia?"

"... Um."

Lin Shuang had originally hoped that Jing Yuan would make a few jokes about her current situation, so that she would have an excuse to break free from Acheron's clutches.

But to everyone's surprise, this person, with a smile on their face, completely ignored the situation and went straight to the point.

Acheron, standing to the side, didn't let go either, but instead nodded solemnly.

"Many thanks to you, young friend and Miss Acheron, for eliminating a great enemy for the Xianzhou."

Jing Yuan clasped his hands in thanks. Without Acheron's presence, they might not have been able to keep Phantylia, who had abandoned his physical body.

Even if the Ten Lords' Court were summoned, it's uncertain whether they would have Judge powerful enough to suppress Phantylia.

At this level, Heliobus is basically synonymous with being difficult to deal with.

Acheron was able to intervene at the last moment, and Lin Shuang suppressed him.

Although Phantylia wasn't completely eradicated, Jing Yuan was quite accepting of the outcome.

The Xianzhou itself also suppressed many Heliobus, and everyone had the same little thoughts.

Although the "Heliobus" thing is dangerous, it is indeed very useful.

"It's simply a matter of each getting what they need."

Lin Shuang held the Full Load Bottle, within which the power of a complete Destruction Emanator was sealed.

And to use it for their own purposes.

Although we can't unleash our full potential yet, we will definitely be able to one day.

Then take into account the power of the Jianmu, and the Power of the Permanence.

Lin Shuang felt that even if she were to confront Acheron head-on, she might not be at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang subtly patted Acheron's hand again.

Unfortunately, this person is still pretending to be stupid and hasn't reacted at all.

Just then, Xing, with gray hair and carrying a baseball bat, rushed up to Lin Shuang in a flurry of activity.

"Are you alright, old man... cough cough--!"

Xingshun was about to blurt out the nickname they usually used to tease each other, but Lin Shuang instinctively sensed danger and glared at her.

That forced her to swallow the last word.

Xing scratched his head blankly and gave Lin Shuang a few sheepish laughs.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Lin Shuang shook her head, then secretly touched Acheron's exposed waist with her small hand and pinched it hard.

"Um..."

It wasn't very painful, but being touched on the waist by Lin Shuang in public made Acheron a little embarrassed.

She also realized that if she didn't let go now, Lin Shuang might explode.

So he obediently released his grip on Lin Shuang and put her down.

Jing Yuan kept his eyes down, ignoring the girls' little antics, and turned to call Dan Heng, preparing to leave Scalegorge Waterscape.

Some damage was inevitable near the battlefield, but fortunately, there were no Vidyadhara Eggs of the Jianmu to begin with.

In addition to the existing seal, there is another layer of seal that was set up here by someone unknown.

The aftermath of the battle did not affect the safety of the Vidyadhara Eggs.

After a brief examination of the condition of the Vidyadhara Eggs, Dan Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

After all... the battle broke out in the rebirth ground of the Sushang, and even Dan Heng himself was on tenterhooks.

However, after checking these, Dan Heng turned his gaze to the severed roots of the Jianmu.

"Dan Heng, what's wrong?"

Jing Yuan noticed Dan Heng's gaze and looked at Jianmu as well.

"There, I sensed the same dangerous aura as that previous strike. The Jianmu must have been severed by the same blade."

Since the sealing methods originated from the same source, Dan Heng, as the Dragon Lord, naturally found out easily what was sealed inside.

"Oh?"

"Those auras are continuously eroding the roots of the Jianmu, suppressing its growth, but at the same time, they also show signs of spreading outwards, which the seal is preventing."

Dan Heng explained the current situation, but how to deal with it was none of his business.

He was just a Nameless had been expelled from his tribe. As a fellow tribesman, it was enough for him to show some concern for the Vidyadhara Eggs.

Anyway, the seal is very strong, and there won't be any problems as long as you don't do anything reckless.

It's absolutely impossible to expect Dan Heng to come running around and take the initiative to solve the hidden dangers.

"Sigh~ Young Friend Lin, you really do always manage to give me difficult problems."

Jianmu disappeared, Phantylia was taken away, and then Lin Shuang gave Jing Yuan a witness from the Sushang.

Now, another potential hazard, though unlikely, has been left here.

The thought of inevitably having to deal with the Sushang in the future gave Jing Yuan a headache.

Chapter 270 Crisis Resolved, Lin Shuang Reaps a Great Harvest.

They broke free from the clutches of the Acheron.

Just as Lin Shuang was about to say something, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a body lying in a corner out of the corner of her eye.

"... etc."

Lin Shuang gestured to Xing and Acheron, then raised her hand and controlled the Threads to reach out.

They hoisted the body up and brought it before the crowd.

"Scythe of Annihilation? Ah..."

Jing Yuan frowned slightly, then his brows suddenly relaxed, turning into a sigh.

Lin Shuang glanced at Xing. Because of her interference, Xing and Danshu probably don't even know each other anymore, and that side quest is probably over too.

After shaking his head slightly, he said to Jing Yuan:

"It's Danshu. It looks like he's already been killed by Phantylia."

Due to its powerful regenerative abilities, the Scythe of Annihilation body retains a certain degree of vitality.

However, due to the Phantylia, reason and consciousness have vanished, and now even the will to be mad no longer exists.

It was also affected by the explosion, and if left like that, it won't be long before it dies completely.

"..."

Jing Yuan did not have a good impression of the person who single-handedly established the current Abundant Doses.

However, because of Lin Shuang, after learning about Danshu's past, Jing Yuan did not deny that Danshu was a pitiful person.

Nowadays, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; there's no need to specially send a corpse to the Ten Lords' Court.

"Take it back. As for Danshu's remains... send them away according to the customs of the Xianzhou. If you have time, you can come over then."

As a criminal, Danshu should not have been buried in this way, but Jing Yuan took Lin Shuang's opinion into consideration.

They decided to hold the Ritual according to the usual protocol.

Since he's already dead, it's good that Lin Shuang feels more comfortable.

"Let's go, it's time to head back."

Jing Yuan looked at Lin Shuang, and then at everyone on the Star Rail Express.

He led his men back in triumph.

Alchemy Commission).

After emerging from the seabed and reuniting with Fu Xuan, the group returned to the Alchemy Commission.

Danshu's remains have already been sent to the Alchemy Commission by several Cloud Knights.

Just like in the game, Jing Yuan, in his capacity as the Xianzhou General, pardoned Dan Heng's punishment.

He will be allowed to legally return to Luofu in the future.

The group on the Star Rail Express were given the highest level of accommodations, and were allowed to rest well for the night before anything else.

There's not much to say about this side.

But Lin Shuang's side...

After watching the people on the Star Rail Express depart.

Jing Yuan smiled as he gazed at the Ancient Sea and asked Lin Shuang:

"That seal beneath the Ancient Sea was created by you, wasn't it...? And this 'Galaxy Ranger' should be identified as either a 'Self-Annihilator' or a 'Chaos Physician,' shouldn't he?"

"Right."

There's no point in denying it now; the aura of Nihility is right beneath the Ancient Sea, and there's nothing more to say.

Lin Shuang nodded, readily admitting it.

"I urge the General and the Grand Tutor not to reveal Acheron's identity, at least not for the foreseeable future."

"Oh? Fu Qing and I are certainly not gossipy people, but it's only been a short time, isn't it?"

Jing Yuan had thought he would have to keep it a secret, since it was generally accepted that the path of The Nihility Walker was unpopular.

Lin Shuang nodded, without providing further explanation.

This was what Acheron told her; she was to use her identity as Galaxy Ranger in Penacony to lure out the real Galaxy Ranger.

That's why I've been traveling around as Galaxy Ranger all this time.

She herself didn't really care that her identity as a 'Self-Annihilator' was recognized.

"I understand. We'll help keep it a secret until the Marshal sends someone to Luofu."

Jing Yuan readily agreed to all of this, as if it were nothing trivial.

Fu Xuan, standing to the side, glanced at Jing Yuan with a complicated expression.

Lin Shuang didn't know, but surely Fu Xuan knew too?

The report on this incident was already difficult to write, and now they have to conceal some details, not to mention the fear of impeachment.
