Chapter 265 The Flame Master, the Fox of Life and Death, and the Undeterred Cloud Warrior
Inside the secret medical room, a three-meter-long and three-meter-wide intensive care unit was filled with turquoise nutrient solution, and lying inside was a fox-woman dressed in red.

Her face was ashen, her skin as pale as snow, as if devoid of any life. Her eyelashes were dark, yet tightly closed, obscuring all the light and emotion in her eyes.

“The mark of destruction is deep…” Lu Xueling said in a low voice, then stretched out his green-glowing index finger and gently touched her brow from a distance.

He activated a nearby connection device, took out the core of life and death, and placed it on the instrument next to him.

Having already obtained the power of the End, Sirin naturally no longer relies on the power of other cores. Currently, Lu Xueling still lacks the following: Life and Death, Restraint, Flame, Wind, Rock, and Ice.

Once the device was activated, a powerful surge of life force instantly filled the entire ward.

The fox-woman lying in the sanatorium slightly opened her eyes, a faint gray haze appearing in them, obscuring the meaning within. She moved her lips as if to say something, but no sound came out.

Lu Xueling withdrew his hand, took a step closer, and asked with a hint of expectation, "Are you a little more awake now?"

The fox woman remained lying there quietly, offering no response, but her beautiful fox eyes blinked twice.

"Very good, do you still remember your name?" Lu Xueling asked again.

"Stop...stop...Yun..." The fox woman finally managed to utter a few words, but they were too weak to speak clearly.

Lu Xueling smiled slightly, "Very good, then congratulations on having life again."

After a pause, he suddenly changed the subject: "Oh right, this place is also the Immortal Ship Realm, it's very safe."

Tingyun remained in the same position, but a mysterious fiery red glint flashed in her beautiful fox eyes.

"The rest of the caravan..."

Lu Xueling shook his head and uttered only two simple words: "Annihilate them all."

Tingyun's eyes narrowed, then she regained her composure: "Why me..."

"Because you are the most unfortunate...you just happened to become Huanlong's target, and your body and spirit were completely destroyed. But you are also lucky, because Huanlong wants to take everything from you, and it will take time for you to avoid being reduced to ashes in an instant."

Tingyun's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly felt a strange sensation: "My body...it's so itchy..."

A flame ignited in Lu Xueling's palm as he placed a bright red core into the connection device on the right. "It seems I can't restore your consciousness yet. Otherwise, the burning flames of destruction alone would be enough to cause you unbearable pain, let alone the collision of two core energies with it. That would be even more torture. So... you'll have to endure it for at least 72 system hours."

Tingyun's skin began to burn, as if countless bacteria were invading it, and her body began to curl up.

"But in any case... I am very grateful for your life-saving grace. I do not yet know your name."

Lu Xueling smiled gently, "You may not know me, but you must have heard of my name: Lu Xueling, the Eighth Heavenly General of the Emperor's Bow and the Fallen General of the Sun and Moon Immortal Ship."

Tingyun's fox-like eyes widened again, then returned to normal. "General Yunjue... I have one last question."

"Just ask."

"That Huanlong... took [me] away, so now... am I still Tingyun...?"

Lu Xueling lowered his eyes and pondered for two seconds, then looked up with a smile that could make an unknown guest's stomach ache: "How should I put it... As the ferryman of the Luofu Minghuo Merchant Guild, you are indeed dead. But Tingyun, don't you still have me? You can completely become part of my Sun and Moon Immortal Ship from now on..."

"The Flame-Controlling One, the Fox of Life and Death, the Unyielding Cloud Warrior".

Lu Xueling left the secret medical room and sealed it with his general's authority, forbidding anyone but himself and Xilin from opening it.

Upon returning to the general's mansion, he softly called out, "Someone come here."

A Yunqi soldier hurriedly entered the mansion from outside, cupped his hands, and asked, "General, what are your orders?"

Lu Xueling sat down and began to look through the documents on the desk. He asked, "Have any of my Sun Moon people been to Luofu recently? We won't talk about ordinary Cloud Riders or civilians."

The Cloud Knight soldier pondered for a moment, "Yes, General. Miss Gu Youyue, the captain of the Sky Ship Company, escorted our caravan to the Luofu Immortal Ship 15 system hours ago. They should have just landed by now."

“Youyue…” Lu Xueling pondered for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, inform her immediately that in three days and nights after Luofu, she should go to Liuyun Ferry to collect something. Tell her it's from me."

"Yes."

The Cloud Knights retreated, and Lu Xueling casually pushed aside three holographic projections: five enormous mechs, a brand-new Valkyrie armor, and the Key of God—the Oath of Judah. ​​"The Undying Star Anchor..." Bishop Lu reached out and gently stroked the projection of the armor, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguous laughter: "Alliance Leader Yang, I hope you won't be scared."

Enlarging the projections of those giant mechs again, Lu Xueling admired them once more: "But then again... your XP is still pretty good, I like it too."

Luofu Immortal Boat, Flowing Clouds Ferry.

The surrounding area was filled with tall shipping containers, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

“This…is this really not the dock for unloading cargo? And there’s not a single person here…” March 7 looked left and right, then shrank back.

March 7th turned to Walter and asked, "Uncle Yang, what do we do now?"

Walter gripped his cane tightly and said in a deep voice, "First, find the guide who helped us enter Luofu. At the same time, explore forward."

The three of them slowly made their way forward, and after turning an unknown number of corners, they finally saw people.

but……

Why are there so many wounded Cloud Cavalry soldiers who are either on the verge of death or already dead?

"Is...someone coming...?" A Yunqi soldier who could barely move raised his head.

"In March, use the Six-Phase Ice to stabilize his injuries," Walter commanded.

"Don't... don't worry about me... what's in front..."

"Don't speak yet, you're badly injured," Walter interrupted him.

"Danger... ahead... be careful... those around us... have... been... afflicted by... demonic influence." After his injuries stabilized, the Cloud Cavalry soldier spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

He then leaned against the wall and didn't move. Judging from his breathing, he wasn't dead; it seemed he had just exhausted all his strength.

"Let's see if there are any other injured people we can save along the way..."

Walter's expression grew increasingly serious as he looked at the number of Cloud Cavalry soldiers lying dead by the roadside ahead.

“This number… the problem seems to be much bigger than you think…” Before he knew it, his hand had tightened around his cane.

"Miss Tingyun, please step back!"

At that moment, a voice came from not far away.

"There are still people here!" March 7 was surprised to hear this and rushed over first, with Hoshi and Walter following immediately.

Ahead, three or four Cloud Cavalry soldiers were protecting a fox-woman in the middle, facing four or five "monsters" covered in branches and leaves.

The fox-woman was overjoyed to see the three of them approaching.

"Hey everyone, come help me out!"

Just as the three nameless guests were about to make their move, a beautiful figure was faster than them.

boom! !

With a single punch, she sent a demonic monster flying. Then, she pulled out a blue and white spear and swept it across the room.

Pfft Pfft
The demonic entities were all decapitated.

Walter glanced at the woman first, and in that one glance, he felt like he was about to explode.

Her waist-length blonde hair flowed freely, her figure was tall and slender, her blue and white armor shone brightly in the sunlight, and her black and blue battle skirt and boots outlined her perfect curves. Even just her back view exuded a heroic and dashing aura.

And the weapon in this woman's hand—even if it were reduced to ashes, Walter Yang would never mistake it.

"Youlan...Dale?!"
