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

Chapter 205: Using Retreat as Advance to Deceive the Train Crew
Preventing a star from being thrown into the trash is as difficult as preventing Nanook from being destroyed.

If Xing Weilai becomes a star goddess, she will definitely have a power similar to finding a bargain or reusing resources.

Therefore, Danlei only mentioned it briefly and didn't keep lecturing.

Afterwards, Dan Lei asked the three of them to wait a moment, and then turned around to take charge of the Earth Balance Division.

After the people of the Earthly Balance Division had bound all the demonic monsters, and the other Cloud Riders, due to their decreased physical vitality, had all fallen into a deep sleep and showed no signs of transformation.

Dan Lei then turned to the Xing Tie trio and said...

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let me take you to the Earth Balance Bureau to review the Danheng records first."

Although the records of foreign visitors are not top secret, the Bureau of Geological Survey generally does not disclose them to other visitors.

Going through the inquiry process takes at least half a day.

Communication within the Immortal Ship is currently poor; it might not be able to get off the ship for another day or two.

Walter, upon hearing Dan Lei's words, naturally expressed his gratitude politely.

Dan Lei didn't stand on ceremony and led the three of them directly into the Dihengsi Office located next to Changletian Square.

At this moment, the Chang Le Tian Di Heng Si Gong Xue (a government office) was also in complete chaos.

Someone asked where the monsters in the square were kept if the temporary detention center in Changletian was not big enough.

Some nearby residents who had taken refuge there complained that the Earth Balance Bureau was incompetent, allowing monsters to roam freely in the square.

Some tourists also asked when traffic in the surrounding area would resume.

It's fair to say that even Da Hao, the second most lazybones on the Immortal Ship, is currently extremely busy.

However, Danlei's identity as the Wisdom Dragon Lord is very useful here.

As soon as Dan Lei entered the gate of the Earth Balance Office, it fell silent instantly.

Everyone in the Immortal Ship knows the prestige of the title "Dragon Lord".

To put it bluntly, in the Immortal Ship, for ordinary matters, as long as you are in the right, you can point your finger at the general and curse him without any consequences.

If things go wrong, the general might have to smile and explain to you, because in principle, the position of general is also to serve the people.

However, if you encounter a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, then I'm sorry, but if you insult a Dragon Lord to his face and really want to take it seriously, it can be considered one of the ten heinous crimes of "sowing discord among allies".

Moreover, Dan Lei had just displayed his prowess in the square, which had already intimidated most of the ordinary residents who did not know him.

Those who knew Danlei, who knew he used to be a small business owner selling toys and puppets in Jinren Lane, were too busy trying to curry favor with him to dare to say anything that might offend him.

As for the Earth Balance Division, even Huifu had to speak to Danlei politely. The highest-ranking official here was a steward, who didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Danlei.

Seeing this, the Xingtie trio behind Danlei couldn't help but whisper to Xing.

"My goodness, is Dan Lei usually such a domineering person in Luofu? He just walked in and everyone fell silent instantly."

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately replied.

"He can be replaced!"

Startled by Xing's words, March 7 immediately covered her mouth and said anxiously...
"My God, how could you talk such nonsense! I don't want to be wanted by the Immortal Boat Alliance!!"

March 7th and Xing whispered very softly, but Dan Lei's hearing was so sharp that he could hear it clearly, and even Walter, who was standing next to them, could hear it clearly as well.

Walter now deeply regrets talking to Xing about ancient Chinese history, saying, "They can be replaced!" It was he who taught Xing this phrase.

Fortunately, Dan Lei wouldn't argue with Xing, who always says things that are outrageous. Saying such things is just her style, especially in Luo Fu, the stage where she gradually transformed from a silent, icy beauty into a pathetic beauty.

It's worth noting that Xing is a quiet and reserved person in the main storyline of Luofu. When Dan Heng asked her for her thoughts before opening the sea, she would respond with silence.

But after completing the Golden Man Alley quest and the Ghost Hunting quest, that trash star was born.

So Danlei said directly in a joking tone

"Xing, it's not impossible for you to become the Dragon Lord if you want to."

However, the Dragon Lord of Wisdom must possess the bloodline of the Wisdom Master.

There is a method, but I cannot reveal it now. I can only say that this method is both far away and right in front of you.

Of course, this method has nothing to do with me.

When Danlei said that, Xing could only awkwardly scratch his head, because it was quite embarrassing to be caught joking about someone behind their back.

Fortunately, this was just a minor incident. Led by Dan Lei, the three of them arrived at the office area inside the Earth Balance Division without any obstacles.

There were far fewer idlers here, Dan Lei said, walking directly to the office of Steward Jing Yan.
“Deacon Jingyan, I need to check the registration record of a tourist named Danheng.”

Danlei took the initiative to inquire about the matter, and Jingyan, no matter how busy she was, had to prioritize it.

After performing some actions on the jade tablet in front of him, he answered in a serious tone.

"Reporting to Lord Dragon Lord, as of half an hour ago when Chang Letian lost communication with the outside world, no tourist registration for the name Dan Heng has appeared in the database of the Earth Balance Division."

Dan Lei was not surprised at all by Jing Yan's answer.

Dan Heng must have shaken off Su Chang and was running around like a headless fly, searching for Xing and the other two.

You have to understand that Luofu is very large; any one of the large caves could take him a whole day to find.

Moreover, Dan Heng spent 99% of his time in Luofu in the Youqiu Prison. Dan Feng's memories are mainly inherited abilities, not directly copied and pasted. Therefore, he is not familiar with the terrain of Luofu at all and is no different from an ordinary tourist.

Danheng's only advantage was that he could display the dragon ear feature, thus impersonating a member of the Wisdom Clan from another immortal ship. In this way, even if he walked the streets and asked for directions, no one would question his identity.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly gave the order.
"Once communications are restored, inform the various celestial and territorial administration offices to be on the lookout for any members of the Vidyadhara clan asking for directions on the streets. If so, report it and contact them..."

Dan Lei turned to look at the three people on the train halfway through his sentence.

Walter understood immediately and stepped forward, saying...

"Contact me, this is my phone number."

Jingyan wasn't familiar with the three people on the train yet, but since Danlei had brought them in, she naturally recorded their numbers in a gentle manner, indicating that she would notify them immediately upon receiving the message.

Since Danheng had not registered, Danlei thanked Jingyan for her help and then left the Dihengsi Office with the three members of the train crew.

After exiting the Imperial Balance Office through the small door, Dan Lei turned to the three members of the train crew and said...

"It seems that Danheng did not heed my advice to register with the Bureau of Land and Resources."

I'm sorry, I can't help you find him right now.

Upon hearing this, Walter quickly responded.

"No need to apologize, this is not your responsibility, Danlei."

As for Danheng, I'm worried that something might have happened to prevent him from registering.

For him, it was strange that he had already decided not to get off the bus, but now he suddenly got off.

Seeing Walter's words, Dan Lei felt the time was right to confront the train crew. So, seeing no one around, he pulled them into an alley, set up a soundproof and light-distorting barrier, and said something that was both true and false.
"Alright, the situation is urgent, I'll only say this once."

I am now admonishing you not as the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, but as your friend.

Now, you must do everything in your power to find Danheng as quickly as possible.

Then immediately return to the train and jump away from Luofu.

I don't know why you've come to Luofu now, but Luofu is extremely dangerous. The stellar core crisis that has erupted here is just the appetizer; the antimatter legion is already on standby a warp distance away, ready to attack at any moment.

Moreover, this time Luofu was facing a joint attack from three Great Lords of Annihilation.

Therefore, run away quickly. Once the Great Lords of Annihilation start to make their move, even the Star Train will not be able to escape easily.

Oh, and when you leave, please take Bailu with you.

Tell Danheng that if Luofu is destroyed, he should take responsibility!

When Dan Lei mentioned that Luo Fu was facing an attack from three Great Lords of Annihilation, Walter's expression instantly turned serious.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, March 7th anxiously asked on the spot...
"Three Annihilation Lords are attacking? Then why aren't you running away? Do you think Luofu can withstand the combined attack of three Annihilation Lords?"

Dan Lei spoke frankly about this issue.
"It's very difficult; to be precise, it's extremely difficult even with a nine-out-of-ten chance of survival."

However, we do not yet know why the Great Lord of Annihilation has not attacked immediately, so we should not provoke them.

Personnel evacuation is certain, but the preliminary preparations should not be too large-scale.

Therefore, this is your last chance. Find Dan Heng, and the Star Train must evacuate immediately, otherwise your pioneering journey may very well come to an end here.

Dan Lei's suggestion at this time was to retreat in order to advance. Based on his understanding of the train crew, he believed they would definitely organize a vote and agree to stay and help Luo Fu fight against the antimatter legion.

As expected, after a moment of silence, Walter spoke frankly.

"Danlei, we need to discuss whether or not the train crew should be withdrawn."

Dan Lei nodded upon seeing this.

"Of course, let me know after you make your decision. As long as there is still time, I will arrange for you to leave Hong Kong immediately."

However, I won't stay in Changletian for long. If you can't find me later, don't say goodbye. Find Bailu, go back to the train, and force your way out.

"Bringing Bai Lu along will ensure you aren't wanted by the Alliance later, because you are entrusted by me to protect the bloodline of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord."

After saying this, Danlei handed Walter a jade tablet and said...

“I recorded what you just said. You can use this as evidence that I have entrusted you with this matter.”

Dan Lei deliberately emphasized that taking Bai Lu away would exempt him from being wanted, because that would make it more realistic.

The recording further demonstrates Danlei's determination to live and die with Luofu, as if he had even said his last words.

So Walter solemnly accepted the jade tablet, remaining silent.

Walter fell silent, and March 7th and Star were even more at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Dan Lei reached out and patted the two of them on the head, and said...

"Don't be upset. Your pioneering journey is still long. You will definitely encounter moments of farewell and decision-making again in the future."

Besides, I'm not necessarily going to die. The Great Lord of Annihilation won't take my life so easily.

After patting his head, Danlei smiled and said...
"Alright, I have other things to do now."

You are free to do as you please.

By the way, remember to keep the information I'm telling you confidential. If you leak secrets and cause chaos in Luofu, then I'll have to handle this strictly by official business.

If this triggers an early attack by the antimatter legions, you all know the consequences.

Danlei's last words were a warning, but the three members of the train crew did not find anything wrong with them.

March 7th directly promised
"No problem, I'll freeze my mouth and Xing's mouth shut, I promise I won't say anything out of line."

Walter nodded in agreement.

“If our secrets are leaked, I promise I will not leave Luofu, but will stand on the front line against the antimatter legion.”

Here, Danlei didn't say much. He patted Walter on the shoulder and left the alley with a resolute expression.

After walking a distance, Dan Lei immediately used the jade tablet to contact Fu Xuan.
"Fu Taibu, where are you? Are you in Changletian? I'm coming to find you."

"I am in Changletian, keeping an eye on the Star Core Hunter Kafka, and preparing to bring him back to Tabusi as planned to confirm whether they are colluding with the Antimatter Legion."

Are you planning to interrogate me ahead of schedule?

"No, it's not my turn to meet the Star Core Hunter yet. I need to speak with you. Tell me your address and we can meet in person."

Okay, [location].

After receiving Fu Xuanfa's location, Dan Lei went straight there.

After the two met, they found a quiet room, set up a protective barrier, and then Fu Xuan took the initiative to ask...

"Danlei, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

After confirming once again that there were no loopholes in the barrier, Dan Lei stated frankly...

"I would like to ask the Grand Diviner for a token that can open the outer barrier of the Grand Diviner's Office and all the isolation doors, so that I can infiltrate."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan was immediately puzzled and said directly...

"You want to infiltrate? With your status as the Dragon Lord, any fortune teller could easily take you to my desk. Why would you need to infiltrate?"
"Did you discover that Xingxiao is lurking in my Taibu Temple?"

Fu Xuan's question made Dan Lei break out in a cold sweat. This Grand Diviner was incredibly good at making connections, so he spoke directly.

“I did not discover that Xingxiao was lurking in Taibusi. The person who needs to infiltrate is not me, but Jingyuan’s master, Luofu Sword Master, Jingliu.”

Upon hearing the name Jing Liu, Fu Xuan asked in surprise.

"What! She's back! Let's say she's the old friend of the general you mentioned at the meeting."

However, I heard that she has fallen into a state of mental defilement and is no longer able to communicate. How did you persuade her to follow your commands?

Dan Lei didn't hide anything from this question and answered...

"I used my ability to remember my destiny to temporarily suppress the [anger] symptoms brought about by the Mirror Flow Demon Yin Body. Normally, there is no need to worry about her going berserk within ten days."

However, this method of mine is a typical case of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will only make the next outbreak of demonic energy even more intense.

Fu Xuan knew the gravity of the situation; she wasn't so narrow-minded as to consider Guan Jingliu's guilt at this point.

Ten days is enough. If Luofu is still around in ten days, then this crisis will be more or less over.

If they hadn't survived, everyone would have died, so what's the point of bringing up guilt?

Therefore, Fu Xuan directly took out a token and handed it to Dan Lei, saying frankly...

"I trust your judgment. Here is this token for you. With this token, you can open all the gates and barriers of the Tabu Temple."

Do you need to secretly search certain top-secret documents? If so, I'll add the relevant permissions.

Fu Xuan probably thought that Dan Lei let Jing Liu into the Taibu Si to get some things that couldn't be obtained through legitimate channels, hence the question.

However, Dan Lei didn't want this kind of permission and refused directly.
"No need, as long as we can open the door and pass through the barrier, that's fine."

By the way, you met that fake Tingyun, right? Tell me what you think of her.

When this topic was brought up, Fu Xuan frowned and slowly began to speak...
