They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 162 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
Danzhu's behavior startled Danlei. You see, Danlei's feelings for Danzhu were those of an older sister and mentor, and they hadn't changed, at least not yet.

Although Danlei was often held and pampered by Danzhu when he was a child, and even slept in the same bed with her for many years, she would sing lullabies to him.

But now, looking at the stares and whispers of those around him, Dan Lei was sweating profusely.

However, Dan Lei didn't dare to push Dan Zhu away, and could only whisper.
"Danzhu, isn't it inappropriate to do this in public? You're ruining your reputation."

However, upon hearing this, Danzhu raised her head and immediately began to feign tears, complaining...
"Waaah~ My master who raised me since I was a child is gone, and even you, who slept with me for so long, now despise me. I guess I'm destined to be all alone, waaaah."

If any uninformed bystanders were to witness Danzhu's behavior, they would likely call Danlei a scumbag.

However, Dan Lei wasn't buying it and said bluntly...

"Sister Danzhu, have you ever heard the saying, 'It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature'?"

You, a grumpy older sister, have only lived for a hundred years and have already become a gentle woman. Do you think I believe it or not?

Moreover, your story as a military doctor, who fearlessly punished corruption single-handedly, has long been widely known.

To the outside world, you're seen as a strong woman and an iron lady.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Dan Zhu punched Dan Lei in the chest without hesitation.

To outsiders, this action looks like a young couple playfully fighting, a playful gesture of "You're so naughty, I'm giving you a little punch on the chest."

But only Danlei knew how severe Danzhu's attack was.

In terms of the force used, Danzhu didn't exert much effort. With Danlei's physical defense, this level of attack was no different from a tickle.

However, Danzhu is not an ordinary Vidyadhara girl; she knows acupuncture and acupressure.

The acupressure points here are not like those in martial arts novels, where a single point can immobilize a person.

Even if imaginary energy can explain everything, the Immortal Ship Alliance doesn't have a technique comparable to a freezing spell.

If such a method exists, it relies on technology, using force fields to immobilize the body.

However, it is still possible to strike acupoints and use imaginary energy to impact them, causing a person to fall to the ground and convulse.

Of course, in the real battles of the Destiny Walker, no one is stupid enough to stand still and let you hit their pressure points; pressure point techniques are only used to bully weaker opponents.

However, Dan Lei stood completely still, allowing Dan Zhu to hit him at will.

Of course, Danzhu wouldn't really hurt Danlei. She just let Danlei feel that familiar pain from his childhood, letting him know that even after more than a hundred years, his sister is still his sister.

Dan Lei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and almost choked.

However, the pain came quickly and went quickly. Danzhu temporarily released Danlei and said with a smile...
"This is really boring. Danlei, you've been precocious since you were little. You never smile when I try to tease you."

As they grew up, they actually learned to fight back.

Moreover, despite his young age, he has a strong, mysterious scent, like that of a middle-aged or elderly person. People who don't know him might mistake him for a mysterious wanderer of destiny.

Also, I can hug you whenever I want, no refusing! No resisting!

Faced with Danzhu's true nature being revealed and her becoming unreasonable, what could Danlei say?

After all, Danzhu is now alone in a foreign land, living with a mask on every day, and has even changed his name to Lingsha.

In public, she would suppress her true nature and become the clever, shrewd, and politically astute Ling Sha.

Therefore, inside, Danlei would provide her with a space to vent her frustrations; here, she was still Danzhu.

This is also why Danlei knew she had changed her name long ago, but never changed his way of addressing her.

So, Danlei took the initiative to reach out and gently hug Danzhu, whispering...

"Alright, you've already said I've grown up. And I've grown up to the point where I can be relied on. You don't need to be so timid anymore, you have your family back."

Upon hearing this, Danzhu sensed Danlei's sincerity and almost burst into tears.

All I can say is that when you're alone out there, only you know the grievances you suffer.

Moreover, before Danzhu actually met Danlei, she certainly couldn't determine what Danlei had become based on letters alone.

Although Dan Lei's reputation is currently at its zenith in the universe, even the other Immortal Ships' Ming Clan have high expectations for him.

But Danzhu was actually more afraid that Danlei would become arrogant because of this, and that he would be blinded by power and authority, turning into a person he didn't recognize at all.

Fortunately, based on this brief contact, Danzhu has basically confirmed that Danlei hasn't changed much since he was a child.

Aside from having a lot of secrets, everything else is fine.

So, Danzhu gently pushed Danlei away and smiled.

"It's settled then. If I get bullied in the future, I'll call you over to beat them up."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately raised his arm to show off his muscles and smiled as well.

"Don't worry, even if General Xianzhou bullies you, I can beat him up right now."

Dan Lei is not bragging. This is not a private dispute that was not intentionally provoked. If General Xianzhou dares to use his command power at will, and it causes casualties, the person will be imprisoned.

If no one uses their command power, Danlei, with the power of Draig and Albion, plus the use of a compound destiny through a balanced destiny, is indeed qualified to compete with the generals.

Whether I can win or not is another matter, but I'll definitely get a few punches in the face, leaving a mark that others can see at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Danzhu smiled with delight and said...
"Okay, okay, I've heard your legendary stories over the past few decades so many times I'm tired of them. I know you can do it."

After saying that, Danzhu seemed to remember something and asked...
"By the way, you're here to see General Huaiyan and Zhu Minglong [Yan Tingjun], so which one do you plan to see first?"

Here, Danzhu's question is somewhat intended to test Danlei.

Apart from the Fanghu Immortal Ship, which is autonomously controlled by the Chiming Clan, the various immortal ships in the Immortal Ship Alliance all have some political entanglements with the Immortal Ship Generals and the Chiming Dragon Lords.

This political entanglement has nothing to do with personal feelings; it is purely a matter of the division of power among the various immortal ships.

As a member of the Wisdom Clan from another Immortal Ship, the question of who Dan Lei should visit first upon arriving at the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is actually a political one.

Because Danlei is not an ordinary member of the Vidyadhara clan.

Even if Dan Lei is unwilling, possessing the reproductive destiny power of an Envoy-level being and becoming the hope for the propagation of the Wisdom Clan is already a fait accompli.

Furthermore, the news that Danlei, an ordinary Vidyadhara who did not inherit the Dragon Transformation Technique, possessed a dragon-horned form has spread throughout the entire Vidyadhara clan.

Many members of the Wisdom Clan speculate that Danlei achieved this atavistic form by using his reproductive destiny to compensate for the bloodline defects of the Wisdom Clan.

This makes Danlei even more important to the Vidyadhara clan, because Danlei may have forged a new path of wondrous dragon transformation on his own.

Danlei had actually thought about this issue on the way, and said frankly...

"First, I need to apply for a meeting with General Huaiyan. The main reason I came to Zhu Mingxianzhou this time is to have General Huaiyan forge weapons."

Therefore, they should be given sufficient respect.

However, since we're only going through the formal application process now, we definitely won't be able to meet him right away. Let's take this time to see [Yan Ting Jun].

After all, as a member of the Wisdom Clan, it wouldn't be right for me to arrive in Zhu Ming and not immediately acknowledge [Lord Yan Ting].

Dan Lei's actions here are a typical example of exploiting the loopholes in the efficiency of the Immortal Boat Alliance.

By deliberately not informing them beforehand and only applying upon arrival, the application would go through multiple levels of approval, meaning General Huaiyan wouldn't receive it until tomorrow at the earliest. Even if General Huaiyan knew Dan Lei had arrived when he was discovered by the Cloud Cavalry outside Zhu Ming's Immortal Ship...

This process won't be shortened much.

General Huaiyan couldn't possibly summon Danlei on his own initiative, since he didn't know what Danlei was doing in Zhuming. What if he just came to visit Danzhu? Wouldn't it be awkward for him to be met with such indifference?

As long as the higher authorities don't provide Danlei with a direct route, Danlei can exploit the time difference.

As the saying goes, going through the formalities demonstrates one's attitude, while taking concrete actions reassures the people; this way, both goals can be achieved.

After all, Danlei's application had already been submitted, so there was no reason for him to just wait around.

After listening, Danzhu nodded in agreement and said...

"Very good. It seems that you have learned how to deal with those important people without me having to teach you."

However, you don't need to be too careful with Zhu Ming. General Huaiyan always seems cheerful, and as long as you don't provoke him, he won't make things difficult for you.

"[Yan Tingjun] is now my teacher. Given your importance to the Chiming clan, the Zhu Ming Chiming will certainly treat you with the utmost respect."

However, no sooner had Danzhu finished speaking than someone came along to slap him in the face.

A sharp, sarcastic female voice suddenly came from beside me.

"Oh, so I was wondering why I heard there were girls from the Vidyadhara tribe secretly meeting lovers from other tribes at the dock. It turns out it's you, Junior Sister." (Dan Lei didn't remove the cover from her ears and eyes.)

Danlei turned his head and saw that the newcomer was also a Vidyadhara, accompanied by a strong Vidyadhara man.

Therefore, Danlei, who didn't want to experience any dramatic events, bluntly stated...

"Sister Danzhu, do you know this person? Can I hit him?"

Danzhu has never been one to swallow a loss, especially now that Danlei has come to be her backer.

So she said with a smile
"She is also a successor of the [Golden Scale Burning Rhinoceros] lineage. She became a disciple a few years earlier than me, but her talent is limited, and she is still only a half-baked one."

However, I don't recommend you hit her yourself; it's beneath you."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately replied.

"Don't worry, I won't do it myself. Draig, come out and give us a shout."

After saying that, Dan Lei released Draig directly. The huge red dragon appeared in the air with a terrifying sense of oppression and roared at the mean woman below.

Draig's dragon might was real; the mean-spirited woman was so scared she almost peed her pants and fell to the ground with a thud.

The burly man beside her was clearly all show and no substance; he was quite strong, but he ran away in fear when he saw Drag.

However, as soon as this giant dragon appeared, within ten seconds, the surrounding Cloud Cavalry troops were already on high alert and surrounded it.

Seeing this, Dan Lei had Dreig shrink back to the size of a small dog, then stepped forward and said to the Cloud Cavalry.

"Brothers of the Cloud Cavalry, don't be nervous. I'm just letting my soul companions out to see the scenery of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship."

It's clearly too excited and has caused everyone trouble; I'm truly sorry.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Cavalry guards temporarily withdrew their weapons.

They didn't intend to take Danlei away, after all, there was only one person in the universe who could control a giant dragon.

Moreover, the Cloud Riders patrolling the perimeter had already informed the others about Dan Lei's arrival at Zhu Ming Immortal Ship.

After all, if Dan Lei were to encounter trouble from the Cloud Cavalry soldiers who had no idea what was going on on Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, the Cloud Cavalry of Zhu Ming Immortal Ship would lose face in the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, and everyone would be in trouble.

Therefore, the leader of the Yunqi Army simply offered a few words of advice as usual, telling Dan Lei not to cause a major disturbance.

Dan Lei humbly accepted the offer and then bid farewell to the Cloud Riders with a smile.

As for the woman who collapsed to the ground with weak legs, Dan Lei didn't even glance at her. He dispelled the illusion of his eyes and ears and said to Dan Zhu...

"Sister Danzhu, let's go. Take me somewhere to have a good meal first. I haven't had a proper meal in days. The set meals on the Interstellar Peace Company's transport ship only taste industrial and have no culinary skills whatsoever."

However, Dan Lei, who didn't take the sarcastic woman seriously, didn't notice that after he left, the woman's face, which had been filled with fear, suddenly returned to normal.

She spoke in her heart to another being within her body.

"Yanhuo, what do you think? Can Danlei be the one to break the deadlock?"

Soon, a voice answered her.

"His strength should be enough, but his mental resistance seems to be very high."

However, all travelers who cling to their destiny are like this; as long as we gather more of them, we can still take over his territory.

Upon hearing this, the sarcastic woman replied...

“Alright, I’ll gather some comrades from the [Suihuang Faction] later.”

"It's rare to find such a powerful outsider; we must seize this opportunity to rescue [Emperor Sui]."

Here, it can only be said that Dan Lei never expected that he would be targeted by the remnants of the [Suihuang Faction] as soon as he entered the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship.

The so-called "Suihuang faction" was a faction that arose during the crisis of faith between the years 3400 and 4000.

When discussing the [Suihuang Faction], we must first clarify one fact:
The title "Emperor Bow Master" was created long before the official appearance of "Hanging Storm" as a star god.

During the great battle of fire, after the hero and the Emperor of Fire destroyed Qiongsang, "Emperor Bow Master" became his title, while his original name was avoided and not mentioned in any documents.

Then, the chaos of the void erupted.

The demonic body completely shook the remaining faith in the pharmacist in the hearts of the people of the Immortal Ship.

A question is placed before the people of the Immortal Ship: after abandoning the Star God they once worshipped, whose destiny should the people of the Immortal Ship follow?
This is the cause of the crisis of faith in the Immortal Ship.

Before [Lan] became the official deity of the Immortal Ship in the year 4100 of the Star Calendar, several faiths developed in various Immortal Ships, including the authentic Medicine King Secret Transmission, which also appeared during this period.

The "Suihuang Faction" is a group of mortals who firmly believe that Suihuang will eventually ascend to godhood and hope to become the closest to the star god, thus benefiting from the power of destiny.

This belief quickly spawned various criminal activities, and soon attracted the attention of relevant departments to crack down on them.

Thus, this group of radicals who wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Sui quickly withdrew from the stage of history, unsurprisingly.

To this day, this faction has been completely wiped out in other immortal ships.

However, the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat contains the [Suihuang] entity, whose power and mind-controlling properties make it easy for people to develop faith in it.

Furthermore, [Suihuang] will continuously generate new Suiyang, and over time, some intelligent Suiyang will eventually be born and escape.

The combination of the two sides led to the continuous inheritance of the [Suihuang Sect] on the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship.

However, it is very small, probably only a few hundred people.

But these guys are complete terrorists who have been trying to do something big: release the trapped [Suihuang].
