Ji Yuan: We Caught Dan Feng

"Hey, where are those two guys? Hey bro, aren't you good at divination? Why don't you give me a reading?"

Yanqing was getting impatient. Suddenly, she looked at Ji Yuan and said with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"How could I have predicted their level?"

Ji Yuan shrugged and said.

The main problem, of course, is that neither of these two are considered Celestial Ark Native. Ji Yuan's radar cannot detect their location.

"Sigh, okay."

Yanqing nodded somewhat dejectedly.

Ji Yuan comforted him:

"It's alright, Yanqing. Maybe we'll spot these two people in the next second."

Before Ji Yuan could finish speaking, the two saw a message written on a signboard at Flowing Cloud Ferry.

The stellar core eruption was caused by Dan Feng!

Yanqing looked at Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan looked at Yanqing in return.

"Brother, have you studied some kind of spell or magic?"

"Obviously, that's not the case."

Ji Yuan patted Yanqing on the head.

It was really just a coincidence, or perhaps that Blade was just being too arrogant and frequent, writing such words on many signs or pillars of Flowing Cloud Ferry.

The two wanted to go over and investigate, but before they could even reach the sign, Ji Yuan saw someone walk out from the other side of the sign.

A black-haired youth, slightly shorter than Ji Yuan, wielding a long spear.

Looking at the young man, Ji Yuan's face showed a hint of confusion.

Isn't this the young man from the main group? Tingyun is still on the train and hasn't arrived yet, so shouldn't this young man be on the Astral Express too? Why is he here?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Before he could react, Yanqing was standing to the side, was the first to react.

He walked towards Dan Heng with his sword in hand, and asked him with a wary look in his eyes, "Who are you? Are you with that guy named Ren?"

"No." Dan Heng shook his head. "My name is Dan Heng, and I am Nameless on the Astral Express."

When he arrived at the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, the Flowing Cloud Ferry was preventing the ship from entering due to a star core eruption. Dan Heng, of course, wouldn't give up because of this small difficulty. He found an opportunity and sneaked into the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

After arriving at the Xianzhou, he hadn't gone far when he saw his former name written on the sign.

Looking at the handwriting, the remaining Remembrance in his mind told him who wrote the slogan.

What is he planning to do?

While he was still thinking, Ji Yuan and Yanqing noticed him.

When faced with Yanqing's questioning, Dan Heng naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble. So, he revealed his identity as Nameless to cover it up.

"Nameless? Those who follow Yaoshi the Abundance?"

Upon hearing this, Yanqing noticed the mark on Dan Heng's body that represented the Nameless, and her guarded expression lessened considerably.

In the Xianzhou, although the Yaoshi the Abundance, the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili, does not have as many followers as the Trailblazer of the Hunt and the Keeper of the Celestial Forge, he is still well-regarded in the Xianzhou.

The Nameless on the Astral Express are, in principle, not enemies.

"Um."

Dan Heng nodded.

"Then how did you get here? It's still very dangerous here. Why don't you come patrolling with us for a while, and then we'll talk when we get to a safe area?" Yanqing said to Dan Heng.

"Okay, sure."

Dan Heng hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan remained silent.

Then, the two-person team became a three-person team.

Dan Heng then asked Ji Yuan and Yanqing, "By the way, have you found Dan Feng, who wrote this slogan?"

When Dan Heng mentioned his name, his tone became somewhat awkward.

"No, not at all." Yanqing shrugged.

"We came here to find them. However, so far we haven't found a single clue."

"Um."

Dan Heng said he understood.

After saying this, Ji Yuan asked Dan Heng curiously, "By the way, when did your train arrive at the Xianzhou? I'm quite curious about your train. I'd like to visit it sometime."

Faced with Ji Yuan's question, Dan Heng seemed unsure how to answer. After a while, he said, "The direction of the voyage needs to be decided by the Conductor. I don't know exactly when we will arrive in Luofu."

"All right."

Ji Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

At that moment, a dangerous aura suddenly filled the air. Ji Yuan and Yanqing simultaneously gripped their swords, while Dan Heng also drew his spear.

After the three men took out their weapons, a large Mara-Struck instantly appeared around them.

"Take good care of yourself."

Ji Yuan gave Dan Heng a reminder.

Dan Heng nodded.

Then, the three of them began to attack the Mara-Struck around them.

Dan Heng imbued his spear with wind element, easily subduing the Mara-Struck. While doing so, he also glanced at Ji Yuan and Yanqing, wanting to check on their condition.

While watching, I couldn't help but be secretly taken aback.

These two individuals possessed remarkably high swordsmanship. Both their swordsmanship and the flying swords they wielded were exceptionally skillful. Dan Heng sensed that their swordsmanship was probably extremely rare even within the entire Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

Two swordsmanship geniuses have actually appeared on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel?

With this thought in mind, Dan Heng dealt with the Mara-Struck in front of him. Ji Yuan and Yanqing had also dealt with the Mara-Struck in front of them.

"Because of the eruption of the star core, the Ambrosial Arbor also began to experience considerable fluctuations. Many people here have turned into Mara-Struck."

Yanqing said in a somewhat heavy tone.

Ji Yuan, who had been seemingly lost in thought, only snapped out of it when he heard Yanqing's words. He walked over to Yanqing, clapped his hands, and said:

"Don't worry, we'll take care of this soon, and the Luofu Starfaring Vessel will be back to normal soon."

"Big brother, I know."

After Yanqing finished speaking, she turned to look at Dan Heng was standing behind the two of them.

"Nameless, you can see how dangerous this place is. Let's leave here quickly."

"It's alright, I'm strong enough to protect myself."

Yanqing then said no more.

Ji Yuan then took out a bunch of test tubes from his pocket.

These test tubes contained many substances and faintly emitted a very pungent odor.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Yanqing asked Ji Yuan.

"Well, I plan to collect some information on newly transformed Mara-Struck. Then I'll go back and study it with my teacher to see if there's any way we can help them."

Ji Yuan replied.

"Oh, I see."

Yanqing nodded.

Dan Heng was somewhat puzzled about who Ji Yuan's teacher was, but they weren't yet familiar with each other, so he didn't say much.

The three continued their journey, seemingly intending to search Flowing Cloud Ferry.

When they arrived at a Star Skiff port, Dan Heng looked around and sensed that something was wrong.

There wasn't much around, and only a few scattered roads. Dan Heng realized that the three of them had come to a dead end. If Dan Heng wanted to leave, it would be difficult to avoid the path blocked by Ji Yuan and Yanqing.

Where are you planning to go?

Dan Heng asked Yanqing and Ji Yuan.

"Of course, we'll take you to the Prison of Deep Seclusion." Yanqing then drew his sword and looked at Dan Heng.

His expression subtly revealed a hint of excitement.

"The general gave instructions before he came that Flowing Cloud Ferry is completely closed. No ships are allowed to enter. So, anyone here right now, regardless of their faction, is an enemy unless they are part of the Cloud Knights. And judging from your reaction to that sign just now, it seems to be related to this matter. Come on, tell me if you're with the person who wrote those words."

Yanqing said to Dan Heng.

After saying this, he looked at Ji Yuan.

"Brother, I'm sorry I hid it from you earlier, but I was worried he would escape over there. Here, it's not convenient for him to escape, making it a good place for us to capture him."

His tone was flippant, with a hint of boasting.

Brother, although I had more information, I still managed to react before you did.

Dan Heng looked somewhat surprised.

However, he still silently took out his spear and pointed it at Yanqing and the other man.

"You can't stop me. I have more important things to do here."

Dan Heng wanted to leave with his gun.

However, Ji Yuan smiled at this moment.

"You're planning to go find that Blade who slandered you, aren't you? Former High Elder Dan Feng?"

Ji Yuan said to Dan Heng.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Dan Heng didn't waste any more words. He gripped his gun with both hands and quickly rushed towards Ji Yuan and Yanqing.

However, as he rushed forward, Dan Heng suddenly felt his body become incredibly heavy, and he swayed precariously.

Just as he rushed to Ji Yuan's side, Dan Heng felt that he had no strength left in his hands.

Ji Yuan swung his longsword and knocked Dan Heng's spear away.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to pin Dan Heng to the ground.

"Did you administer the poison at that time?"

"This isn't poison; it's a very effective tonic for the Vidyadhara. However, when they come into contact with this medicine, the Vidyadhara need to be in a deep sleep to reach a state similar to that of a Narrative Being. Hmm, it works on the soul, so as long as you're associated with the Vidyadhara, it's effective."

Dan Heng's eyes also showed confusion, as if he was wondering when the Vidyadhara would have this.

"This is not a secret technique of the Vidyadhara, but some of my teacher's inventions. My teacher is named Nguyen Mai."

Ji Yuan shrugged in response.

Of course, that's not actually the case.

The battle he had deliberately instigated just now gave him a medicine that would be beneficial to the Vidyadhara.

[You fought alongside Dan Heng, the legendary hero who survived the battle against Aeon Nanook, the reincarnation of the previous High Elder of Luofu and Nameless on the Astral Express. As a reward, you Vidyadhara. This tonic will greatly benefit the Vidyadhara's body after use, but it will cause Vidyadhara to enter a near-transcendent mental state for a period of time.]

This tonic was useless to Ji Yuan, but it could improve his relationship with the Vidyadhara. However, Ji Yuan used the medicine to harm Dan Heng.

"Ah?"

Yanqing stared wide-eyed at Dan Heng, who had collapsed, then turned to look at Ji Yuan.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you...?"

"Well, I was waiting for the medicine to take effect, so I was too embarrassed to tell you."

Ji Yuan spread his hands and said.

Yanqing, weren't you feeling pretty smug just now?

Come on, let's see who's prepared in advance.
