"Have you ever heard of the Serenade in G major? I bet you haven't. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like the type to like classical music. Oh, of course, I'm not trying to belittle you. You have to understand, most people in this world can't appreciate it—"
"I've heard of it."
"Huh? I really didn't see that coming! Where did you hear that?"
" Throne of Magical Arcana."
"Whose work is this? I recommend the Karl Böhm version—"
" Cuttlefish That Loves Diving."
During Jiang Si and Su La's conversation, numerous alarms sounded and red lights flashed, making the entire Chongxu seem like it had fallen into purgatory.
Drones descended continuously from the tower above, accompanied by a mechanical female voice constantly issuing commands.
However, they all exploded and were submerged in the Bladestorm.
The falling machinery created another shockwave on the ground, igniting even larger flames.
In this inferno, there are corpses, ruins, and piercing alarms everywhere.
However, Su La and Jiang Si chatted casually and strolled leisurely in this dangerous inferno.
"I've never heard of that name before. How strange. I should know all the musicians who have played serenades, since I've heard every version. Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving... Tsk, I can't even find it. I hate you people who are obsessed with niche things; you always find obscure names from the back of the box."
Fine magical sword energy swept across the surroundings, even turning the collapsing skyscrapers into fine dust that was blown away.
Not to mention other miscellaneous items.
As Su La muttered to herself, observing Jiang Si's destructive power up close, she watched as charred hands occasionally emerged from the surrounding ruins.
I marvel at the incredible vitality of human life.
Even with such a scale of destruction, quite a few people actually survived.
Sometimes they are so fragile that a single fall could kill them, while other times they can survive all sorts of devastating disasters.
Listen, I have to teach you a lesson.
95
As if completely oblivious to the gap between them, she spoke frankly amidst the explosion of another drone, "Pursuing niche interests is actually a very, very common thing, you know." Su La's tone was deep. "Don't think that just because you have a niche name, you'll stand out and be different from others. You have to be like me, truly passionate, listen to every version of the serenade, be able to analyze the emotions and details within, and have your own insights and preferences—"
The young man merely sneered disdainfully, "You don't even know what an eagle or a true dragon is; no wonder you're just a sparrow and a wild dog."
Su La was taken aback. "What flies?"
Jiang Si naturally didn't bother to explain to her.
Outdated trivia: When searching for "Serenade in G major" on certain websites, you can see many comments saying "it's from Throne of Magical Arcana ".
Of course, he was one of them.
Unless you're from the Throne of Magical Arcana, who would listen to this kind of music for no reason?
The serenade that Su La requested was gradually coming to an end.
The sirens in the sky began to disappear, and the drones stopped flying down.
Chongxu, which had been ravaged to this point, seemed to finally begin to submit to him.
Whether in a city or among wild beasts, they are all the same.
With enough force, they can all be tamed.
This is how the Great Emperor of the North became the King of Riders.
Jiang Si stretched and looked at the armor on her arm.
It's better than I expected.
Because she couldn't transform, and even the use of her magic was restricted in this place, Jiang Si simply borrowed the armor and converted her emotions into Filthy Magic Power, except that her account debt was increasing rapidly.
It has almost no flaws.
Jiang Si pondered the armor and casually asked Su La, "Why is the use of magic restricted in Chongxu?"
"Of course! Magic is a vital resource for Chongxu, and Magic Loans are the largest loan product in Chongxu. Magic Loans involve strong personal emotions, whether it's crying or laughing. In Chongxu, you need to report and make a payment before you can use it, let alone use magic. The higher-ups are very strict about it—"
Su La, who was standing next to her, immediately began to talk non-stop.
"For example, when my mom died, I forget how she died, but my dad was planning to cry and go through the whole burial procession of crying at night. But when he saw the cost, he immediately held back his tears. He later found out that crying was expensive, but laughing was cheap. So it's popular to send someone off with a smile at the Chongxu. I was young at the time, and I had a discount for minors, so I only spent 600 Chongxu Coin and laughed all the way to my mom's grave."
Why must it be sent to a cemetery?
"If you handle it privately and are caught, the fine will be even greater."
"That's all."
"So most of us in Chongxu are expressionless, we can seamlessly play the villains of the Furongwang demon clan in The Burial of Furongwang—have you seen The Burial of Furongwang? Everyone in it is expressionless, as if they came from Chongxu."
You have quite a few facial expressions.
Su La laughed heartily, hands on her hips, "As long as you're not afraid of taking on debt, of course it doesn't matter!"
After saying that, Jiang Si pulled up her personal attribute table and saw that her string of magic loan bills were like a waterfall, directly hitting her forehead.
It's all related to facial expressions, and the debt is as high as hundreds of millions.
"See that? That's what true power comes from laughter!"
That was indeed a powerful laugh.
No wonder they were in such a hurry to smash up the Chongxu.
If I hadn't come soon, she probably would have been killed and turned into Gundam parts.
"Anyway." Su La closed her personal interface, tossed her hair, and, wearing her thick black boots, skipped and hopped through the ruins that resembled burning steel bars and lava, smoke constantly rising from her feet.
"Welcome to Chongxu, and thank you for restoring Chongxu's freedom."
"When did I say I would Chongxu free?"
Su La touched the back of her neck, finally showing a hint of confusion. "Huh?"
"After destroying a world, it is natural to rebuild order."
Jiang Si stopped on the ruins of a plaza, waved, and not far away, Ruoyun finally appeared on the street with a group of Holy Church members. "In the upcoming Chongxu, the strong will be respected, and the weak will only be humiliated, exploited, and used. Only the truly strong will be free."
"From this day forward, this place will be called Night Without End Square."
Ruoyun approached and took out a standard scanner, scanning the Ruomu Su La's forehead.
[ Power of Magic, Stage 4, promising future]
"Waste."
Ruoyun casually tossed a low-level token to Su La. "Start as a menial servant."
The Hyacinth beside her smiled slightly, "Welcome to the underworld of cultivation."
Above the New World, in Land of Chaos.
As Dragon Lord Shion slowly opened her eyes, a hint of coldness appeared in her gaze.
Now that he has destroyed the Chongxu and rebuilt order, it is a good time for him to follow the path of survival. Although he does not need it, Keke, the White Fox, and this Su guy in front of him are in dire need of guidance.
After calling out for a long time inside the Chongxu, Jiang Si only found a small note on his body.
"Respected Master, after receiving your teachings, Tiana feels deeply ashamed. Moreover, Tiana has discovered that the probability of continuing to speak with you without being discovered is a mere 98%! This is far too dangerous. Therefore, Tiana is taking her leave first to continue her arduous cultivation of the Way of the Dead. May you rest in peace, disciple, and not worry—"
Traitor.
Is Gou Dao even human?
This person can be called a cultivator?
Is this a purebred dog?
Dragon Lord Shion suddenly stood up, startling the Fengqin that had been secretly nuzzling against the dragon's tail!
Thinking he had been caught offending someone, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly!
Dragon Lord Shion took off the ring and threw it over.
After Fengqin caught it, it started wailing, "Waaah, I was wrong, don't throw it at me----"
"I need to go downstairs for a bit. You can wear it for now and return it to me when I get back."
Fengqin blinked, then immediately beamed, "Good, good, good!"
The main issue is that the products are now in near-new condition and used by women in the New World.
Unlike before, with the ring on her Fengqin, she'd probably be unconscious half the time, and eventually, she might even disappear completely.
Of course, she wasn't afraid of death; what she feared was what would happen if the New World collapsed after Shion abandoned her and she disappeared.
Hearing that Shion was only going down there once, she was naturally overjoyed and rolled on the ground in happiness.
Shion ignored her and, taking the Little Black Dragon and the Emperor with her, plunged into the Beihai like a shooting star!
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of the Illusory Moon Cave Abode as if by teleportation, and immediately kicked the door open.
" Bingtang! Tiana has vanished! Bring her back to me immediately!"
Inside the Illusory Moon Cave Abode, Sonora, whose clothes had been largely removed, lay on the table, her face flushed. Blue Flower, Shuangye, Yumo were all pressing down on Sonora.
Meanwhile, Bingtang's hand was placed on Sonora's chest, surging with a faint magical power, as if she were exploring something, until Shion rushed in.
The previously lively and cheerful atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and everyone turned around blankly to stare at the sect leader.
Then, as if they had been electrocuted, they withdrew their hands.
He looked just like a kid caught playing around while his dad was away.
Meanwhile, Bingtang, who had been making a ruckus with her child, slowly withdrew her hand and looked at her sect leader nonchalantly, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say that clearing the land would take some time?"
"The flow of time is different up there," Shion explained casually, looking at Sonora who was clutching her shirt, her face flushed, biting her lip, and looking at her with teary eyes.
Something just doesn't look right.
So I asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let's explore the body structure of a vampire." Bingtang, now seated, elegantly picked up her teacup.
The other disciples all nodded repeatedly.
"What have you discovered?"
"Just as the Sect Master predicted, the so-called vampires are fake." Bingtang's expression was serious, as if she had just completed some major research. "Their physical structure is that of ordinary humans, and they don't have any bloodthirsty characteristics. Their blood is not special either. Only their hearts are special; the missing blood in them has certain characteristics."
Nodding, Shion didn't suspect anything.
Sonora opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she fell silent, only calling out in a wronged tone, " Shion, I'm not clean anymore----"
"Go take a shower if you're not clean."
Upon hearing Shion's reply, Sonora nearly fainted on the spot.
He was already humiliated enough by being touched and groped by the true disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. He kept complaining in his heart that Jiang Si had taken his blood essence and then disappeared without a trace, and had no intention of protecting him at all.
Seeing Shion, she had hoped to act cute towards her idol, but one sentence shattered her dream.
My heart is broken.
The unfortunate girl could only turn her head and look at the Shuangsheng who had been captured in the same predicament, wanting to huddle together for warmth.
They found the Shuangsheng lying on Bingtang's lap, their faces beaming with happiness, almost melting, as they ate the snacks Bingtang gave them.
It's like she's at home, acting all cute and affectionate with her mother.
My heart was utterly shaken.
This guy's a mole!
Jialan, what are you doing?! Do you even know you're keeping a ghost in your house?!
It's still that ghost who's so close to Winter Lord, no wonder your operations team is a complete mess, getting wiped out by the Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau ----
But actually, I didn't feel much about it.
After all, it doesn't matter to her if Witch Association in the New World die out, and she'll only feel a little envious if the Shuangsheng find happiness.
What's important is my own happiness? That scumbag who stole my life is just gone.
Now she is truly an outcast of the world.
Seeing Sonora hugging her legs and crying on the table, Shion glanced at Bingtang and said, "You made her cry."
"Uh, I think it's probably because of the sect leader."

"Impossible."
"That means she's homesick. Just take her back to Chongxu."
That makes sense.
After a brief exchange, Bingtang Tang continued, "Who were you looking for when you came in?"
Shion then remembered her purpose, and her tail slammed hard into the ground, almost creating a dent in the floor of the Illusory Moon Cave Abode. " Tiana! Bring her back to me and send her to Chongxu!"
The Holy Church has entrance tickets for the Chongxu, and naturally, the Azure Cloud Sect also has entrance tickets.
The difference lies in the fact that Azure Cloud Sect offers it for free.
Bingtang Tang had already discussed sending some true teachings up, but Tiana was the person the sect leader specifically requested.
I want to personally train her!
Upon hearing that the sect leader was going to give them special training, the disciples all revealed expressions of schadenfreude.
This has truly angered the sect leader, meow; I'm in for trouble, meow.
You'll definitely get beaten until you lose control of your bladder.
"Furthermore, select more disciples to rebuild Chongxu. The Holy Church has already established a branch sect; Azure Cloud cannot fall behind."
Bingtang's expression turned serious, and she immediately agreed, "Yes, I'll send Yarrow over. She and Jiegeng's Harry Potter Branch has been doing quite well these days."
" Jiegeng?"
"Hmm? She dragged me there to help out not long ago. Ah, Sect Master, please rest assured, I didn't Harry Potter Branch, I just went to help."
Blue Flower immediately added, "That's right, that's right Jiegeng is determined to follow the Sect Master. She harbors resentment and evil intentions, and she will resolutely respond to the Yarrow Magic Dao Path's sweet talk with the curses of her ancestors! She will not abandon her Azure Cloud ambitions, so please rest assured, Sect Master!"
Shion finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Having finished arranging things, I planned to return to the Land of Chaos as soon as possible, lest Fengqin run away with her ring.
Then I heard Bingtang say, "Don't forget about the best man thing."
The moment she nodded, Yumo immediately raised her hand, "Me too, I have one too! My uncle's getting married, I'm a bridesmaid—"
Sonora immediately asked, "Your uncle is hiring elementary school students as bridesmaids? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Yumo immediately deflated.
Blue Flower also raised her hand, "Me too, I want one too—"
"What do you mean, 'you'? You want it too? Your appearance at the wedding is a joke. Who's blind enough to invite you?"
The disciples immediately turned a cold gaze towards Sonora was unleashing her full power.
The bat-girl, having nothing to lose, stubbornly declared, "I'm just a worthless life, do whatever you want with me."
Bingtang smiled faintly beside her, "It's alright, I'll invite everyone to come along. The more lively it is, the better."
Yumo hung her head and weakly uttered an "Oh".
In the past, she could only be a spectator, so of course she wasn't interested. Yumo also wanted to wear a wedding dress.
"So, is the Sect Master very busy at Chongxu?"
"Fine."
"Hmm, shall we go pick out some clothes together?" Bingtang stroked the Shuangsheng ' heads. The little girl was already fast asleep. She had seen how hard the Shuangsheng during this time, and now that she had some free time, she naturally wanted to make it up to them.
But as he touched them, his mind was no longer on the Shuangsheng; his gaze was fixed intently on Shion: "Wedding dresses, suits, and things like that."
The entire Illusory Moon Cave Abode fell silent.
Upon hearing this, not only the true disciples, but even Sonora's eyes lit up.
However, Shion instinctively shook her head.
Then Bingtang added, "After all, it's your idea to cancel the wedding, so you should be the one to choose a suitable one, otherwise it might seem too casual."
The tail, which had been gently swaying, tied into a bow in the air. After a moment of contemplation Shion finally nodded, "Okay."
Not only the true disciples of the Illusory Moon Cave Abode.
The Emperor and the Little Black Dragon, who had just moved into the Dragon Palace, immediately became restless!
"Wait, wait, how can we agree to something so dangerous!"
"Yes," the Emperor unusually agreed with the Little Black Dragon's words, "Isn't it too early?"
"What should we do about Lu Ya's mother! The first time should have been with Lu Ya's mother. You're already married, but you didn't take wedding photos. Lu Ya's mother is missing out on a perfect wedding!"
"Should we look for Lu Ya first? There should be information about her in Chongxu— "
"Yes, Dad, aren't we looking for Lu Ya?"
Inside the Chongxu.
Jiang Si rubbed her temples.
Although he could disregard the Little Black Dragon's words, the Emperor's authority was ultimately different.
In the Holy Church Temple, a long queue had already formed in the Night Without End Square in front of the gate. A large number of local Chongxu people had been captured, while some had voluntarily surrendered, all waiting for potential tests and job assignments.
Jiang Si sat on a high platform next to the door, then looked down at the people queuing up below to Chongxu the market.
This naturally included Su La, who had just been arrested.
"I have something I'd like to ask you."
Jiang Si's voice rang out in the square, and everyone raised their heads, looking at the Lord of the Holy Church with respect and fear.
"Has anyone here heard of the name Lu Ya?"
An eerie atmosphere began to spread among the people of Chongxu.
Jiang Si watched as the expressions of that group of people slowly twisted, becoming ferocious and terrifying!
