Chapter 206 Afternoon Tea of the Great Lords
Chapter 206 Afternoon Tea of the Great Lords
While Dan Lei and Fu Xuan were discussing the issue of the fake Tingyun, Tingyun, who should have been trapped in Changletian with the train crew, appeared in the room of Yu Luo, the newly appointed Danshi Chief of Danding Division.
Yu Luo was sitting opposite her, brewing tea.
Clearly, the fact that Yu Luo could drink tea with Huan Long, who was impersonating Ting Yun, meant that Xing Xiao was the one in disguise.
In the game, Yu Luo was promoted to the position of Chief Alchemist after Dan Shu was exposed.
In reality, because Dan Lei killed Dan Shu nearly thirty years earlier, she was promoted much earlier than in the game.
Huanlong watched Xingxiao brew tea and make a cup for himself, then smiled and raised his cup, saying...
"I'm saying, am I the first person to drink tea brewed by you, Xingxiao? The tea brewing by Juemie Dajun is so elegant, Guiji will probably laugh at you for a long time."
Xingxiao wasn't angry at all at Huanlong's teasing. As a tactical master, she was very patient and her emotions were quite stable. She simply replied calmly...
"You're not human."
This sentence sounds like an insult, but it's not an insult to Huanlong, since no matter how you calculate it, Suiyang can't be counted in the human sciences.
Therefore, Huanlong wasn't angry, but instead asked...
"I heard that Liuyun Ferry was destroyed by that Dan Lei. Did you go see it?"
Xingxiao calmly poured himself a cup of tea and said...
"I looked, but I didn't get too close. My current state isn't simulated; getting too close would make it easy for flaws to be noticed."
Moreover, the identity you assigned me at that time makes it inexplicable that I appeared at Liuyun Ferry.
However, those two are very strong; even against you and me, they are not without the ability to fight back.
Huanlong simply covered her mouth and laughed at Xingxiao's little complaint.
"Make do with it, this is the best identity I can get for you."
Using my fiery possession to take over her body, and then letting you possess her, is also the best option.
After Dan Lei became the Dragon Lord, the power of those cowardly Dragon Masters shrank drastically.
Many people no longer listen to them.
However, Yu Luo was naive; she probably never imagined that her own Dragon Master would intentionally harm her.
As for Dan Lei, who could beat you in one match, I didn't underestimate him, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you into this scheme against Luofu.
When Xingxiao saw Huanlong bring up the match he lost again, he remained calm and commented...
"It's very common. I've encountered countless superiors who try to survive destruction by selling out their subordinates, but in my eyes, everyone's fate is the same: destruction."
As for Danlei, you know, he's not my target this time.
Upon hearing this, Huanlong continued to laugh and say...
"Don't worry, once I get what I want, you will get what you want too."
After being reshaped in the crucible of war, the Luofu Immortal Ship became the flagship of the Great Monarch Xingxiao, who then went on to conquer other immortal ships.
This is interesting, isn't it?
After hearing this, Xingxiao raised his glass and said...
“I am very patient, so there’s no rush. I will remain restrained until your plan fails or you actively seek help.”
Seeing this, Huanlong also raised his glass and said...
"Actually, there's no need to be too restrained. Once the large army I've mobilized from within Luofu arrives, you can try commanding the non-antimatter legion."
This must be a novel experience for you as well.
Here, Huanlong guessed wrong. Xingxiao showed a completely uninterested expression and said bluntly...
"I have little interest in commanding troops that are overly self-centered."
I don't like this kind of army that deviates from my command for various reasons.
The antimatter legion's intelligence is just right; it is neither mechanical nor disobedient to my orders.
Only troops that obey my commands completely can bring me the enemy's most desperate prayers.
Huanlong knew that all the Great Lords of Annihilation adhered to their own aesthetics of destruction, and she was no exception, so she didn't insist and said indifferently.
"Fine, those troops are just there to buy time anyway."
Essentially, it was just an appetizer for the internal strife at Luofu.
You can continue to observe everything in Luofu from here.
After all, intelligence gathering is an integral part of warfare.
After saying that, Huanlong, disguised as Tingyun, transformed into a ball of flame and then disappeared on the spot.
After Huanlong left, Xingxiao manipulated Yuluo's body to tidy up the table, and then went outside to treat the wounded Yunqi.
I don't know whether to call it Xingxiao's dedication or a reawakening of her old habits as a harmonizer, but she is truly fulfilling the duties expected of her in this role.
Xingxiao even used Yuluo's body and her knowledge to concoct a medicine to alleviate the effects of the Demon Yin Body Poison Mist, one without any side effects.
Huanlong probably never imagined that his colleague would actually hold him back.
Of course, precisely because Yu Luo did this, Jing Yuan has been secretly investigating since the meeting and has not found anything unusual about Yu Luo.
After Huanlong and Xingxiao's small meeting ended, Danlei and Fuxuan's meeting was still ongoing.
Rewinding the clock a bit, when Dan Lei asked Fu Xuan for her opinion on Huan Long's portrayal of Ting Yun, she answered with utmost seriousness.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the Feng Hou Qi Men method you gave me before, which allows me to know a target's fate through inner vision, I wouldn't have believed that this Ting Yun was fake."
This isn't the first time I've met Tingyun. The current Tingyun, in terms of appearance, aura, demeanor, and behavior, is exactly the same as the original Tingyun.
She even revealed the body odor that Tingyun had been trying so hard to conceal, using the exact same special fragrance formula.
Upon hearing this, Dan Lei asked in surprise.
"Fu Taibu, have you really mastered that book on Feng Hou Qi Men?"
Seeing Dan Lei's surprise, Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said...
"Judging from your appearance, you must have entrusted this technique to me with the mentality of trying anything as a last resort."
Indeed, this set of techniques is quite obscure and difficult to understand.
Furthermore, the principle it relies on is a set of natural rules governing the planet from which it was born.
Therefore, to use the magic on that planet after leaving it, a new set of rules needs to be set based on the principles.
Frankly speaking, reconstructing the underlying rules of this spell is more difficult than building a new spell from scratch.
But I like things that are challenging.
Therefore, I reconstructed this set of techniques using the principles of constructing the Qiong Guan Array.
You should know that the principles of the Great Evolution Exhaustive Observation Array and the Jade Palace Immortal Boat's Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm both originate from the All-Knowing Heavenly Lord.
Therefore, by using the foundation of the Qiong Guan Array to reconstruct the spell, it can be guaranteed that the spell will be effective anywhere in the universe.
While you were traveling through the universe, I was meticulously analyzing the Feng Hou Qi Men Dun Jia in Taipusi and reconstructing its rules.
With the help of Qiong Guanzhen, the entire reconstruction process took me twenty years.
However, the result was good. All the functions of the spell were realized, and I also made a simplified version, removing the ability to adjust the formation, so that ordinary diviners could also learn it.
This can greatly enhance the diviner's combat power and self-defense capabilities.
I've already sent the standard version to the Alliance headquarters, and the diviners on the other Immortal Ships should have started learning and mastering it by now.
After hearing this, Dan Lei had only one thought: he had spent so much time with the two geniuses without ever awakening his intellectual destiny, and it was truly not a waste of his time.
Look at Fu Xuan's thirst for knowledge and hands-on skills. Her actions are equivalent to converting the binary code of a computer from Arabic numerals to the Chinese characters "一" and "二". Moreover, after making the changes, she created a basic Qimen Dunjia formation in Under One Person without any prompts and even promoted it.
Fortunately, Fu Xuan did not realize on his own that transforming himself into a king meant establishing a central palace in his heart and using his own power to govern the seventy-two phases of the heavens.
No, the version that Fu Xuan modified now definitely doesn't have the so-called 72 phases of the celestial cycle, and it's questionable whether it can still be located in the heart.
After all, the foundation of the Qiong Guan Zhen (穷观阵) comes from the Bo Shi Zun (博识尊). The consequences of directly simulating the Bo Shi Zun's thinking with a human body, even if it's just a part of the predictive thinking, are as follows: refer to the ending of the Rupert II Scepter System.
However, despite his surprise, Dan Lei still asked...
"So, Master Fu, you've examined the fate of the fake Tingyun?"
Fu Xuan honestly said...
"Yes, before you came, I used the fake Tingyun as a target and calculated that the huge blazing sun that appeared in the inner scene almost baked me to death."
So I believed it; Tingyun definitely didn't have that kind of destiny.
It was not surprising that the Blazing Sun Pill appeared in the inner vision of the Fu Xuan. After all, the Great Lord of Annihilation represents destruction, and Nanuk's goal was clearly to destroy everything in the universe, including destiny.
As Nanuk's envoy, Huanlong will be influenced by the person behind him, just like Ma Xianhong. Regardless of his own destiny, he will be at the level of changing the world in the inner realm.
At this point, Dan Lei immediately asked curiously.
"I'm glad you believe me, Master Fu. By the way, have you ever calculated my destiny?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately became interested and asked...
"You're willing to let me calculate it?"
Dan Lei nodded and said frankly.
"Let's see. If I were also a blazing sun, it would prove that my situation is similar to Huanlong's, and then my chances of surviving this great battle would be very high."
Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Fu Xuan decisively activated the Feng Hou Qi Men divination method, then opened his eyes with an unusually strange expression in less than a second and said...
“Strange, your destiny… is completely lacking.”
Even the ordinary mice I use in my experiments shouldn't have such weak fates that I can't even see them.
Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately guessed that his fate was probably not small, but rather that the underlying logic set by Fu Xuan was impossible to calculate.
The predictive logic of the Qiong Guan Zhen comes from Bo Shi Zun, but that does not mean that it has the same predictive ability as Bo Shi Zun.
After all, since we are not, in principle, people from this world, it's normal for us to need more powerful algorithms.
So, Dan Lei smiled, opened the book box at his waist, and said to Fu Xuan...
"It's not surprising, actually. I've been targeted by [Aha]. Under his interference, my fate may really be unpredictable."
Dan Lei brought up "Aha," and Fu Xuan immediately agreed, because anything that comes into contact with "Aha" becomes unpredictable—this is a universal consensus.
Of course, only the Star Gods themselves know whether this consensus applies to them.
However, the topic of destiny was ultimately a digression, and Dan Lei quickly steered the conversation back to the main point, asking...
"Since Huanlong's imitation of Tingyun is so similar, do you think Tingyun's original weakness might be effective against Huanlong now?"
For example, allergens and chocolate, which is universally effective against fox-people.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately nodded in approval.
"Danlei, you are indeed quick-witted."
Since she imitated Tingyun so well that she even had the same body odor, her allergens were probably the same too.
If someone suddenly has an allergic reaction, it could be a perfect opportunity for an attack.
"I'll have someone check Tingyun's past medical records at the Dan Ding Si right now."
Upon hearing that Fu Xuan was going to the Pill Cauldron Department to check the records, Dan Lei immediately stopped him.
"No, Fu Taibu, don't forget that strange Demonic Yin Poison Smoke."
I uprooted the secret recipe of the Medicine King more than 20 years ago. Even if there were any omissions, they were only some minor figures on the fringes.
Therefore, if this poisonous fog is produced locally in Luofu, Huanlong's helpers must be in the Dan Ding Division.
So far, we haven't heard of anyone being arrested in the Dan Ding Division, so we can't check Tingyun's information by going to the Dan Ding Division.
Don't forget, we haven't found a way to counter the Iron Tomb yet. Once it discovers we've stopped monitoring the Cloud, it will definitely notify her.
After hearing Dan Lei's explanation, Fu Xuan felt it made sense, so he asked...
"If we don't check with the Pill Refining Department, where should we check? Are we supposed to ask Yu Kong?"
Dan Lei shook his head and said with a smile.
"Far away, yet right before my eyes."
Fu Taibu, why don't you just do a divination yourself?
Even if Zhen Tingyun has some allergies, there shouldn't be any major backlash.
Fu Xuan thought about it for a moment and felt that it would be okay to directly use Qimen Dunjia to calculate Tingyun's allergy information out of thin air.
So Fu Xuan closed his eyes and began to divine, and the next second, his face turned pale and blood flowed from his nostrils.
However, the next second Fu Xuan opened his eyes and said
"I've calculated it. You're right. The cost isn't that high."
Seeing this, Dan Lei immediately took Fu Xuan's hands in his own and poured his life force into her using the Abundant Destiny Path, while simultaneously healing her internal injuries.
After finishing, Danlei immediately stuffed a bunch of compressed food into his mouth to make up for the loss, and then said...
"Alright, Fu Taibu, you can wipe away the blood from your nose, so there's no consequence."
Fu Xuan watched Dan Lei's series of actions and couldn't help but sigh.
"Danlei, I always find it amazing. Where does your gluttonous destiny come from? You can quickly replenish your vitality by eating compressed food. I'm so envious."
Upon hearing Fu Xuan's words, Dan Lei secretly chuckled to himself, thinking that if Fu Xuan knew that the Six Treasures Immortal Thief could allocate life force with the help of Abundant Destiny and Immortal Boat Medicine, allowing people to selectively develop, he would probably be drooling with envy.
This would solve a problem that had been troubling Fu Xuan: his stagnant physical development had made him a rare resource.
It should be noted that in some aspects, even Qingque, who is much younger than Fu Xuan, is better than her.
Therefore, Dan Lei did not provoke Fu Xuan, but instead changed the subject and took his leave.
"Master Fu, please send a letter to General Jingyuan regarding Tingyun's allergy."
He will probably prepare a surprise for Huanlong.
I'll head back to Jingliu first. Once traffic around Changletian resumes, I'll return to Taibusi with you at the same time.
By the way, regarding the Starry Sky Train, if they need to return to the train first, please have the staff you arranged assist them.
"The interrogation of the Star Core Hunters by the Qiong Guan Formation can be postponed a bit. Trust me, they will definitely return."
Fu Xuan did not try to stop Dan Lei from leaving, but simply nodded.
"Understood, I will tell my subordinates."
Actually, I didn't want the Star Train to get involved in what happened later.
Even if we need combat power, we can't betray them.
After all, Luofu's affairs were none of their concern.
