From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 273 Layout, Dan Ding Division
Inside the Shence Mansion, rows of members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect were imprisoned on the ground. On the platform, two generals stood with their arms crossed in the middle, while Gu Youyue stood guard at the door, her expression serious and earnest.

Jing Yuan's gaze lingered on the leader for a moment, then a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Generals, we haven't been able to extract any useful information," a Yunqi soldier reported to them.

Lu Xueling shrugged: "Well, I didn't expect these guys to admit defeat anyway."

Jing Yuan sighed, "Alright, you may all leave now."

Apart from Gu Youyue, the four Cloud Cavalry soldiers guarding the area all withdrew.

Jing Yuan closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Dan Shu... are you really so stubbornly persistent?"

Dan Shu, the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, raised his head and said indifferently, "General, if my actions are guilty, then the ancestors of the Immortal Ship will be guilty as well! They accepted the gift of [Abundance] and transformed their descendants into immortal beings. The Medicine King's Secret Teachings merely followed the same path, pursuing transcendence. What crime have they committed?"

Lu Xueling remained silent, not intending to interrupt for the time being. After all, this was an internal "family matter" of Luofu, even though he had personally identified these insects.

Seeing the two generals remain silent, Dan Shu simply looked up, seemingly gazing through the ceiling of the Shence Palace at the distant Jianmu tree: "Back then, the Jianmu's mystical roots enveloped the Luofu Immortal Ship, as if it were a living thing. Our clan dominated the starry sea, unmatched by any other. Everyone could attain immortality and transform freely! Abundant divine miracles descended upon the nine immortal ships—what a glorious era that was..."

"And look at it now, what has become of the Immortal Ship? It has even willingly accepted the Demon Bow to drive people away..."

boom! !

That slap almost sent Dan Shu flying out of the Divine Strategy Palace.

Lu Xueling flicked his hand, then pulled it back from a distance.

A look of surprise flashed across Jing Yuan's eyes, but he did not stop the fallen general from doing so.

Lu Xueling disgustedly threw Dan Shu back onto the floor. "Shut up. I can't speak for others, but you are one of the least qualified people to criticize [Hunter].

"Thirty years ago... I know you participated in that war as well."

Lu Xueling's words startled Dan Shu slightly.

General Yunjue's tone was calm, yet it carried a suffocating sense of oppression. "Thirty years ago, if it weren't for His intervention, how many of the three immortal ships—Luofu, Yaoqing, and Fanghu—would still be standing today? Would you even be kneeling here? Indeed, while [Hunter]'s casual strike wiped out the evil creatures, it inevitably affected many innocent lives. But do you think you were the most pitiful among those who died? Does your sacrifice even compare to the lives of one-fifth of the people in Fanghu?"

Dan Shu glared at her through gritted teeth, "Yun Jue, what right do you, a mere youth, have to speak so eloquently in front of me?!"

Snapped!
Lu Xueling used the Spear of Subspace to deliver this powerful slap; in any case, that amount of force wouldn't kill Dan Shu.

"I'm too lazy to reason with you anymore; you don't deserve to listen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of purplish-red flame condensed in his palm.

Dan Shu's pupils shrank sharply. He never expected that Lu Xueling would dare to attack him openly in public, and Jing Yuan didn't even try to stop him?
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Perhaps anticipating Dan Shu's thoughts, Lu Xueling gave Jing Yuan a reassuring look.

He immediately flipped his wrist, and the purple light in his palm directly entered Dan Shu's body. The latter's expression changed drastically, his eyes bulged, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

After a long while, Dan Shu's expression returned to calm, but a trace of dark red flowed through his gray blind eyes.

Now, she is considered a Honkai assassin directly under Lu Xueling.

"What kind of method is this, General Yunjue?" Jing Yuan asked. Lu Xueling waved his hand, "Dual control of consciousness and domination. Once you find the Great Lord Jue Mie who is lurking on Luofu, you can take her and her followers away."

"Hmm..." Jing Yuan nodded slightly, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he looked at Lu Xueling. "General Yunjue, it sounds like you already have some clues... Perhaps you even know who the Grand Lord of the Extinction Legion is?"

"...Heh, the minds of 'Shence' are still sharp as ever." Lu Xueling chuckled, then shook his head. "However, this is probably not my responsibility. Jingyuan, you don't want 'Yunjue' to dominate the reports submitted to the Marshal later, do you?"

"...Jingyuan understands."

Exhausted, Jing Yuanyuan is preparing to teleport to the front lines again...

After leaving the Shence Mansion, Lu Xueling and Gu Youyue boarded the star raft that led directly to the Lin Yuan Realm.

“Your Excellency, your anger just now… was something we haven’t seen in a long time.” Gu Youyue clicked her tongue.

General Yunjue stroked his golden-shaded hair and sighed softly, "Want to hear... a story similar to that clown's?"

"Please speak."

Lu Xueling's thoughts surged as she recounted a story to Gu Youyue that even she had read: "Long, long ago, on a planet similar to Azure Star, the humans there were unfortunate, suffering countless cosmic calamities. Invaders had their eyes on their planet, but they were also fortunate, receiving the protection of giants who could also be called gods."

"Once, in a battle, the planet's defense force was almost wiped out by a ferocious beast from the galaxy. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't even scratch the beast's hide. In this despair, a giant descended to protect humanity. In less than three minutes, with a single move, He killed the beast. But the battle between Him and the beast also affected many human buildings and innocent lives."

Gu Youyue's curiosity was piqued, and she pressed on, "Then what about the humans on this planet?"

Lu Xueling smiled and continued, "I am still happy that the giant killed the beast, but I am saddened by the fact that only the sole survivor of the defense force was grieving."

"Just like Dan Shu?"

"No, what he blames is his own insignificance... humanity's powerlessness in the face of calamity. With giants, he could kill the beast in three minutes, but without giants, would the beast disappear on its own in three minutes?"

After listening to these words, Gu Youyue remained silent for a moment before saying, "Without the intervention of the [Hunting], the Abundant Beasts would not have withdrawn on their own."

Lu Xueling had a teachable look on his face. "Do you understand? In that war... the Emperor Bow Master's actions were not a trampling of the efforts of the Immortal Ship, but rather a reward for the efforts of the Alliance."

Danding Division.

"Uh, Miss Tingyun, are you sure that Rakshasa is here?" March 7 looked around and saw nothing but corpses and dilapidated houses; there wasn't a single trace of a living person.

"The battle seems really intense..."

However, Tingyun only glanced at the fallen Cloud Cavalry before looking away: "It seems that Lord Taibu has already set off on his expedition."

Mr. Walter adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "If Rakshasa is indeed here, then I think he has some connection with those so-called secrets of the Medicine King. Miss Tingyun, please lead the way."

"Hmm...please follow." Tingyun turned around, the cold glint in her eyes well concealed.

Just wait... that mysterious envoy of abundance, once I seize the power of the Jianmu tree, I'll make sure he knows what true divine power of abundance is!
Led by Tingyun (Huanlong), the three members of the train crew bypassed the Cloud Cavalry's encampment and even naturally ventured into the smoke-filled furnace.

Before the furnace, the alchemy core seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
