When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 361 Teacher, Save Me
Outside, the situation was tense and ready to erupt, but inside the train, with far fewer passengers, it was unusually quiet.

In a cabin on the train, Ivan sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and beads of sweat on his forehead.

Not far away, an easel was erected, and on the canvas supported on it, a painting was gradually taking shape.

Under a deep blue sky, the train sped through the ruins of the city, with figures above surrounding a ferocious demon god.

The scene depicted in the painting is exactly what's happening on the train right now.

At this moment, Ivan's female deacon held a palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and three figures reappeared on the oil painting.

At the same time, at the rear of the train, the space was lifted like a curtain, revealing the nun who had been following Catherine and two other figures.

They flew in from behind, their mental energy subtly locking onto Chu Longxiang and the others.

Their appearance also caused unexpected twists and turns in the encirclement and killing that was about to break out.

"Hand over your spot and leave the table. You still have a chance to live."

The nun looked at the theologian from afar and said calmly.

Beside her stood two Ursus men, one dressed in military uniform and the other in monk's robes; both possessed an aura no weaker than Chu Longxiang and Shi Jun.

Three eight-star ratings!

These three individuals became key variables influencing the situation.

"Ursus...a military strategist!"

The theologian, seeing this, immediately understood the situation: "The painter collaborated with you?"

Mu Yaoguang, however, discerned something amiss from the way these three appeared.

'Methods to turn the illusory into the real, even to distort reality... or rather, supernatural powers.'

Mu Yaoguang's mind raced with thoughts, and combined with the title of "painter," she had already guessed the other party's abilities.

By turning the illusory into the real, it was possible to make text appear outside of Singh Desai's letter without anyone noticing.

The painter didn't need to handle the letters at all; he could do all this by secretly using supernatural powers.

Of course, this is also because she was never suppressed and was able to interfere with the outside world with her qi or spirit.

Conversely, if someone wanted to tamper with important auction items right under the noses of the train operators, the most suitable candidate would be a painter.

Therefore, those who knew the painter's abilities all assumed that it was done by the painter.

But the painter also said that she didn't actually do it...

"Singh Desai is one of your men. From the very beginning, you were the ones who pulled the strings." The theologian's voice was icy as he revealed the truth.

It's true that someone tampered with the item, but it wasn't anyone else; it was the original owner of the item.

Or rather, this wasn't tampering at all.

The letter was like that from the beginning; it's just that the line stating "the coordinates of the Wanyi Collection server" wasn't displayed.

That line of text only appeared when the item was brought to the auction stage.

The painter certainly had the ability to manipulate things, but she didn't, so she didn't break the rules and naturally didn't need to worry about being punished by the god of commerce.

The theologian and the painter had clearly been in cahoots, and the two had collaborated to orchestrate this elaborate performance.

He thought the painter shared his stance, but he never expected that the painter not only disagreed with him, but also betrayed him by collaborating with the military strategist to acquire the theologian's shares in the Wan Yi Zhi Ji.

"Anyway, you were already mentally prepared to give up your spot, weren't you?"

A soft female voice echoed in the wind, “The God of Commerce is already preparing to kick you out. Since you’re going to lose it anyway, you might as well sell it for a good price now and save your life.”

As he spoke, the wind grew increasingly fierce, even carrying an invisible killing intent.

The wind, the vital energy, and even the surrounding scenery were all imbued with a certain will, directed at the theologian and Mu Yaoguang, among others.

Either hand over everything in the Wanyi Collection, or die here.

This opportunistic act of taking advantage of someone's misfortune was, to say the least, quite ingenious.

Meanwhile, Sister Natalia, accompanied by two eight-star warriors, was also watching closely, ready to strike at any moment.

"Gentlemen of Dongxia, we have no other demands, we just want what we deserve."

The nun smiled and said, "Dongxia and Ursus are friendly nations, so please do not damage the harmony between our two countries."

Even if you're about to take action, you still have to maintain appearances.

Although the nun seemed to have already won over both the theologians and Mu Yaoguang, she was just putting on a show.

only······

Mu Yaoguang suddenly waved her hand, and tiny nano-units formed a mirror.

In the realm of mountains and seas, technological products are unable to adapt to the local environment and thus cannot play their role, but Mu Yaoguang's Tai Su Wan Xiang Armor is an exception.

The Tai Su Wan Xiang Armor is her natal weapon, so of course she can communicate with it.

Ever since——

"Oh no! Old Bai has been captured by that white-haired woman!"

The sound of the Luo River came from the mirror.

Upon hearing this, the black-clad nun Natalia was overjoyed, a faint light flashing across her body, before her expression suddenly darkened.

As an orthodox nun, she had an invisible connection with Catherine, but now that connection was blocked.

Bai Ze was captured by Catherine the Great?
In retrospect, it's more accurate to say that Catherine was won over by Bai Ze.

You see, Mu Yaoguang wasn't worried at all after hearing the news.

As I said before, no matter how much fighting there is, we still have to maintain appearances and not ruin the harmony.

Ekaterina's status in the Ursus Federation is extraordinary, and there's no way Mu Yaoguang would directly admit to kidnapping her.

"This is impossible... Your Highness has the hand of God."

Despite the apparent circumstances, the nun instinctively harbored doubts, but the matter was of utmost importance and she could not afford to take any risks.

"The people of Ursus are truly cunning; they managed to use a sneak attack to capture Bai Ze."

Mu Yaoguang drew her sword, her aura menacing. "But I, Mu Yaoguang, have never been threatened in my life. I will take the theologian's life first, and then I will talk to Ursus."

The underlying meaning—we'll talk about that after we kill the theologians.

Before she finished speaking, Mu Yaoguang became one with her sword, and the Tai Su sword unleashed a heaven-reaching sword light, with shimmering fragments of light dancing beneath the blade.

Space split under the sword light, like shattered glass, and the shattered light was the sword light refracted from the fragments of space.

The distance in space was traversed in an instant, or perhaps severed by a sword; the theologian unhesitatingly unleashed an undercurrent that filled the space.

"Tianyan Sijiu" understands and masters change. In terms of the changes in techniques, perhaps only Bai Ze, who is said to be a "pre-heaven Dao embryo", can compare with him. Theologians can only choose to use force to overcome skill when facing Mu Yaoguang.

This is also why he has been unable to harm Mu Yaoguang.

Now that Mu Yaoguang has drawn her sword again, the theologian naturally resorts to the same old trick. However, as he circulates his energy, the corrupting aura on his arm also spreads and erupts.

Lu Qiudi's poisonous skills were like a persistent thorn in the side, constantly entangled in the theologian's flesh and blood, and had even merged into his true essence.

The theologian could sense countless tiny bacteria spreading from the poison, frantically eroding him. It was this sudden outburst that created a tiny opening in the theologian's defenses; the spatial rift severed the undercurrents, and fragments of light shot straight at the theologian.

In that instant—

The theologian's body was cut in half!

Did he lose?
The next instant, the theologian's figure emerged from the severed body, leaving behind a broken shadow bathed in moonlight.

The image of the Moon Goddess was used to take the calamity upon him, and the theologian seized this opportunity to soar into the sky.

But Mu Yaoguang also arrived in pursuit at the same time, and a dark mandala pattern appeared in the sky.

"Womb Mandala".

Lu Qiudi changed her hand seals, spreading her true energy into the air to form a mandala. Her energy evolved, and corruption ran rampant within the mandala.

"Nine Earths Corrupting Immortal Great Technique".

While the simple mandala array was indeed mysterious, the theologian was not afraid of it. However, the putrid aura made alarm bells ring in his mind.

Lu Qiudi is a very wicked woman. Although she doesn't have the same combat power as Mu Yaoguang, her research in medicine, poison, and even spirituality and Buddhism is unparalleled.

In terms of natural talent, he is not as good as Mu Yaoguang, but in terms of erudition, he may even be better than Mu Yaoguang.

Theologians have personally experienced the poisonous effects of reeds and know how potent they are.

However, even a moment's delay could allow Mu Yaoguang to catch up.

At that moment, the theologian was seen breaking through the air with unstoppable momentum, forcefully rushing into the mandala formation and breaking through the obstruction with his strength.

Mu Yaoguang didn't stop either, rushing straight into the mandala.

In reality, there is no option to block friendly fire. Even if Lu Qiudi intentionally controls it, it is impossible for the "Nine Earths Corruption Immortal Technique" to completely avoid Mu Yaoguang.

However, Mu Yaoguang had no need to worry.

She used Yin and Yang to protect her body, circulating and changing, making it impossible for the poison to penetrate her.

His speed was unstoppable; he caught up with the theologian, and his sword flashed across the sky.

When the two sides clashed again, the Yin and Yang energies soared through the sky, sword energy crisscrossed, and collided with the gods. The mandala formation finally could not withstand the pressure and shattered with a crash.

But later, Lu Qiudi joined the battle, harnessing the dark and malevolent energy, and fully displaying the eight transformations of Guru Rinpoche.

Chu Longxiang, Lin Chongyun, and Shi Jun also made their moves.

On the other hand, the three Ursus members were caught in a dilemma because they were worried about Ekaterina.

"It's out of control."

Inside the train cabin, the painter looked at the flickering figures in the oil painting and couldn't help but shake his head.

As she spoke, Evan on the sofa suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shifting with a series of light and shadow.

These lights and shadows were all reflected around the painter, and she saw them one by one.

In the light and shadow on the left, the image of Agni, the god of fire, is severed.

In the light and shadow on the right, the God of Calamity was forcibly blasted away from his body by Shi Jun and Chu Longxiang.

······
As all sorts of future scenarios unfolded, Evan's body convulsed, and blood continuously flowed from his seven orifices.

"Help me!" he cried out in distress.

The painter ignored Evan, focusing only on the light and shadow, and then let out a soft exclamation, "There isn't a single future related to Bai Ze."

Prior to this, Ivan had not foreseen that Bai Ze would take down Catherine, nor even that Catherine and Bai Ze would clash.

Otherwise, the painter and Ursus, those two opportunists, would never have missed their chance.

"Ha~!"

The painter smiled with interest. "Interesting fellow, do you have no future, or are you able to block out the future?"

As he spoke, the painter touched the oil painting with his brush again.

“Educator, you owe me a favor,” she said calmly.

"can."

A response came from the guest room door, where a mechanical train conductor appeared at some point. His previously respectful and capable demeanor was gone, replaced by a calm and intellectual air, transforming him from a robot that imitated humans into someone who truly possessed humanity.

Having received a response, the painter placed his brush on the oil painting, slowly and laboriously drawing a straight line in the sky.

That line coincided with the spatial rift.

And then, in the next instant, the spatial rift in the sky, which had already begun to open slightly, widened further, and the speeding train tore it apart.

Seawater poured down from the sky, just like the great flood in myths and legends, submerging the city ruins below.

Upon witnessing this scene, the theologian let out a long, thunderous roar, abandoning both the forms of the Wind God and Vajrabhairava. His essence and blood burned fiercely, transforming his figure into a crimson rainbow that soared into the sky.

"Teacher, save me!"

A tremendous commotion erupted from the crack. Giant hands emerged from it, pressing against the edges and pulling the crack open. Finally, a hand the size of a small mountain reached out and grabbed at the crimson rainbow.

"Want to go?"

Following the crimson rainbow, the Yin-Yang Mystic Light followed closely behind. Mu Yaoguang's figure transformed, becoming a phantom several meters long. She devoured the primordial energy and unleashed a sword light that traversed the sky.

This sword tore through space, instantly slicing through the blood rainbow and causing a shower of blood rain to burst from the sky.

A small portion of the blood rainbow fell from the sky, while the rest continued to fly towards the giant hand, where it was caught in its palm.

The sword light continued unabated, sweeping across the sky, still standing on the clenched giant hand, but only emitted a clanging sound, failing to harm the hand in the slightest.

Then, the giant hand retracted into the crack, and the other large hands that had opened the crack also withdrew, leaving only the seawater still pouring out wildly.

The illusory figure in mid-air shrank, and beams of light converged, revealing Mu Yaoguang once again. She was looking intently at the sky, her eyes filled with solemnity.

"The aura of the undead."

Lu Qiudi flew to Mu Yaoguang's side. Her originally sinister aura had turned into a gentle one, but her eyes still showed a solemn look. "There's no mistake, it's the 'Undead' Kosh'e."

She had also obtained a chapter of "The Theory of Immortal Evolution" and was quite familiar with the aura of the immortals.

The moment the giant hand appeared, Lu Qiudi sensed the aura of the undead and discerned the origin of the giant hand.

"The immortals are the teachers of theologians?" Lu Qiudi pondered for a moment and said, "It seems quite possible. The physical changes that adapt to the power of faith are not something that ordinary people can study."

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out by verifying it."

Mu Yaoguang gently waved her hand, drawing back the blood rainbow that had been slashed down.

Enveloped in a thick aura of blood, a rotting arm floated on the surface.

That sword severed the theologian's arm, which had been corroded by the "Nine Earths Corrupting Immortal Technique".

"Test his genes. I need to know which old friend he is," Mu Yaoguang said calmly.

Her intuition told her that the theologian was someone she knew.

Mu Yaoguang has even identified some suspects.
