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

Chapter 210 The Unexpected Solving of the Star Core Case
When Danlei suggested that Kafka accompany Ren, she almost laughed out of anger.

Kafka remarked that Danley's skin was truly like dragon scales—invulnerable to swords and spears.

Okay, Danlei's face really does have dragon scales, so "invulnerable to swords and spears" isn't an adjective, but a statement of fact.

So Kafka simply turned his head to the side, indicating that he didn't want to talk to Danley anymore.

Seeing this, Dan Lei was afraid that Kafka would refuse to help him contact Silver Wolf because of this, so he took a step back and added...

"Before he goes on a combat mission, I can promise him a certain amount of freedom, but he still has to go to the Prison of Darkness first."

Seeing that Danlei had taken the initiative to back down, Kafka immediately pressed his advantage and said...
"I will command Aren in the battles to come. You can assign tasks, but how to execute them is our business."

We can't guarantee it will be successful.

Dan Lei agreed to Kafka's request without hesitation, grinning mischievously.

“Okay, it’s up to you.

Anyway, the train crew has made it clear that they will help us fight against the antimatter legion.

"This is a good opportunity for you to form a team."

Dan Lei's meaning was very clear: I'm not afraid of you slacking off. Anyway, I'll just put you and your "daughter" together. If you want to cheat, the first person you'll cheat is Xing.

This was an open conspiracy, and Kafka was completely helpless. He could only curse Danley in his heart as a "shameless old fox."

Now that the agreement had been made with Kafka, the atmosphere on the ship became much more harmonious on the way to the prison.

Of course, this only applies to Dan Lei and Kafka's side.

After setting up the Starship's autopilot, Mirror Flow returned to the cabin.

After Danlei and Kafka reached an agreement, they used the power of words and the dual-wielding technique to suppress the demonic body of the blade, and then released him from his restraints.

However, the grudge between Jingliu and Ren is too complicated. Even though both of them have suppressed their demonic bodies, they still look like they're about to fight at any moment while sitting face to face.

Fortunately, the two didn't actually fight in the end.

Since Kafka did not want to go to the prison, Danlei first released her to move around freely in the border area between the ancient sea of ​​Boyue and Dandingsi.

From now until Danlei resolves the issues of Mirror Stream, Blade, and the Wisdom Clan, Kafka will communicate with Silver Wolf to help Danlei establish connections with the outside world.

Let's leave Kafka's activities here aside for now.

After Dan Lei arrived at the Youju Prison with Jing Liu and Ren, they were immediately surrounded by Han Ya and his armed guards.

Of course, the crows and these military officers weren't there to cause trouble for Dan Lei, but to protect him.

Dan Lei walked ahead, while Jing Liu and Ren followed behind.

Although they were not armed, they were not bound either. From the perspective of the Ten Kings, it looked as if the two of them were holding Dan Lei hostage as they moved forward.

In particular, after the Ten Kings investigated and discovered Jing Liu's true identity, they immediately activated the highest level of response.

Of course, after Dan Lei and his two companions were surrounded, Dan Lei quickly raised his hand and said...
"Calm down, everyone calm down! What are you doing? Are you trying to arrest me?"

Upon hearing this, Han Ya immediately realized that Dan Lei was not being held hostage, so he cooperated with Dan Lei and began to follow the procedures.
"Danlei Dragon Lord, the two people behind you are both wanted criminals on the Immortal Ship who have committed the ten heinous crimes! Get away from them immediately!"

Danlei knew that Hanya was just going through the motions, so he replied.

"Don't worry, I've caught them all."

However, there are special circumstances now. Judge Raven, please send the Crimson-Clad Warden to hand over the prisoner to me.

The prison warden was ordered to hand over the prisoners; previously, only Jing Yuan, as a general, was probably qualified to do so in the entire Luofu region.

But now that Dan Lei, as the Dragon Lord, also has this, Han Ya immediately went back to report the situation.

As the prison warden of the Youqiu Prison, Chiyi is qualified to know about the current situation facing Luofu.

In fact, among the entire Ten Kings Division, only Chi Yi and Xue Yi, who is in charge of communications, know about the situation Luo Fu is facing.

As Xueyi's younger sister, Han Ya didn't reveal any information to her until the possibility of being possessed by Xing Xiao was ruled out.

Therefore, Chi Yi quickly came out and welcomed Dan Lei into the prison.

Then the two of them took Kagami and Rin into the interrogation room and talked for less than five minutes before coming out.

After being released, Chi Yi immediately ordered that Jing Liu and Ren Xian be imprisoned in a temporary cell on the first floor of the Youju Prison, where suspects without concrete evidence were temporarily held.

This is clearly not a place for Kagami-ryu and Rin, two criminals who have already been tried for the ten heinous crimes.

However, all protests were suppressed by Chi Yi. Now, without the orders from the Ten Kings or Jing Yuan, Chi Yi held the greatest power in the Prison of Imprisonment.

After settling Jingliu and Ren, Danlei borrowed Han Ya and a squad of armed guards from Chiyi.

Because Danlei needs them to cooperate in putting on a show for him.

Chiyi readily agreed to Danlei's request, although Hanya felt that many things had happened yesterday and today that left her completely confused.

But she trusted Danlei and Chiyi's judgment, so after briefly reviewing the script with Danlei, she led a group of military officers and followed Danlei straight to the Chiming clan's encampment.

Dan Lei led the people of the Ten Kings back to the Chiming Clan, and naturally no one dared to stop him.

At most, those ignorant commoners began to whisper that Danlei was going to make a big splash as a new official, and who would he target? Of course, only the enlightened dragon masters.

However, when Dan Lei arrived at the council hall of the Wisdom Clan and sat down in the main seat of the Dragon Lord, only one Dragon Master came over on his own initiative.

However, Dan Lei was not surprised. He had already received the news that as soon as he arrived in Luofu yesterday, Long Shi Xuepu and Long Shi Feng Huan immediately went to Dan Ding Si to get sick leave certificates.

Long Shitao wasn't sick; he simply broke his leg by accident while on patrol.

In any case, the three Dragon Masters clearly did not cooperate with Dan Lei in taking the position of the Luofu Vidyadhara Dragon Venerable.

Of course, it's also possible that they have something to hide and don't want to see Danlei.

However, some Dragon Masters still showed Dan Lei face. The younger Dragon Master Shao Ying arrived, bowed to Dan Lei, and then respectfully sat down in the last position among the Dragon Masters.

Dan Lei noticed that several key figures hadn't arrived, but he said it didn't matter; he wouldn't send anyone to drag them to the council chamber, but would force them to come on their own.

Upon arriving at the council hall, Dan Lei's first task was to summon the captain of the guardians responsible for patrolling the Lin Yuan Mirror's Visionary Eggs this week.

Unless there are special circumstances, the teams of guardians patrolling the Lin Yuan Mirror take turns on duty in two shifts per week. This week, it's Haiyue Team One and Shenjiao Team Seven.

Therefore, He Tian, ​​the captain of Haiyue Team One, and Agu, the captain of Shenjiao Team Seven, quickly arrived in front of Dan Lei.

The Pearl Protectors are the main armed force of the Vidyadhara Clan. In the struggle between Danfeng and the Dragon Master, that group of Pearl Protectors sided with Danfeng.

However, Danfeng's creation of the evil dragon and its rampage in destroying the Lin Yuan Mirror directly alienated the guardians of the pearl. As a result, for a long time afterward, nearly half of the guardians listened to the Dragon Master Council.

Neutral teams like Haiyue Team are few and far between, and teams that obey Bailu are even fewer.

The fact that the Dragon Master Council can send assassins to kill Bai Lu and Dan Heng at the Lin Yuan Mirror with impunity in the game is a result of the people protecting the pearl turning a blind eye.

However, since Dan Lei began to reveal his Dragon Lord status, many of the guardians of the pearl have chosen to remain neutral, especially after Dan Lei clearly obtained the position of Dragon Lord.

Because they're not stupid; they're still hanging around with the Dragon Master Council at this point. Dan Lei can easily deal with them when he returns.

After all, it's common knowledge that Danlei and Jingyuan have a good relationship. Even if all the current guardians of the pearl were dismissed, Jingyuan could easily transfer a group of Mingyi people from the Yunqi Army to become guardians of the pearl.

Therefore, He Tian and A Gu did not delay at all. As soon as Dan Lei summoned them, they came to the council hall and waited respectfully for Dan Lei to ask questions.

Seeing that the captains of the two teams protecting the pearl had a reasonable attitude, Dan Lei didn't immediately try to overpower them, but instead spoke calmly.
"You two have witnessed the rebirth of Jianmu."

The Ten Kings' Bureau has now determined that the reason for Jianmu's rebirth was that someone sent the star core into the cave where Jianmu's mystic root was located. The star core crisis that erupted in Luofu occurred within this week.

Only those from the Lin Yuan Realm can enter the Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven.

The only ones who could withstand the power of the Dragon Lord outside the cave were the Wisdom Clan who possessed the secret techniques.

Now, the Ten Kings' Office has come to question us.

So, you two, tell me, besides your two teams of guardians, who else has entered the Scaled Abyss Realm this week?

He Tian and Agu exchanged a glance, and finally He Tian spoke first.

"Reporting to Lord Dragon Lord, this week, our Haiyue Team One has been responsible for ensuring that no outsiders enter the Lin Yuan Realm."

Upon hearing He Tian's words, Agu immediately reported.
"Our Deep Dragon Seventh Team also didn't find any outsiders entering during our patrols."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately unleashed his dragon might and said in a deep voice.

"Really not? You know, the star core wouldn't just randomly enter the cave where the Jianmu root system is located."

If no one else entered, then it could only be someone from one of your teams who committed the crime.

Using a star core to revive the Jianmu tree is a sin far more serious than the Ten Evils, and the Ten Kings can hold the entire Luofu Chiming accountable.

"If this escalates to the point where the Alliance orders me to hand over both of your squads and send them all to the Ghost Prison for soul-searching, then no one can protect you."

Dan Lei's words were not an exaggeration. If Jianmu were to be reborn and there were no scapegoats, these two teams of guardians would definitely be sent to the Ten Kings' Court for interrogation.

In the game, because Huanlong appeared, she automatically took the blame.

With Huanlong taking the blame, naturally no one criticized the guardians of the pearl for failing to stop a supreme ruler of annihilation.

He Tian and Agu also knew that Dan Lei was not threatening them, but stating the facts. So the two of them brainstormed frantically, trying to figure out who was most likely to send the star core into the cave where the Jianmu Xuangen was located.

Then, the two of them actually came up with someone, and He Tian said directly.
"Reporting to Lord Dragon Lord, I remember now. Besides the guardians of our two teams, there were indeed other people who entered the Scale Abyss Realm in the past two days."

However, he was not an outsider. Previously, a craftsman from the Wisdom Clan was attacked by an out-of-control machine at the port and died from his injuries. He could only molt and reincarnate in an emergency.

Therefore, according to regulations, the egg containing the Ming Dynasty's treasure was delivered to Lin Yuan by a designated person and placed there.

This person is the only one besides our two teams of pearl protectors to have entered the Scale Abyss Realm during this period.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately felt that this person was indeed highly suspicious, and it seemed that he had solved the Star Core case ahead of schedule.

It's worth noting that in the game, Long Shi Tao Ran later admits that the Star Core was transported to Luofu by the Chiming Clan and placed in the Jianmu Xuangen Cave, but no details are provided.

Therefore, Danlei could not prevent this from happening.

Because before the event occurred, no one knew how or when the Dragon Masters transported the Star Core into the Jianmu Mystic Root Cave Heaven.

Now, it seems there's an answer to this question.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the molting and rebirth of their siblings to send the Vidyadhara Egg into the Scale Abyss Realm, and then sending the Star Core into the Jianmu Mystic Root Cave Heaven, is indeed a good choice.

Since the rebirth of the Scaled One is considered a death, a simple ritual is permitted within the clan, as long as the items are taken out of the Scaled Abyss Realm after the ritual.

The box containing the star core doesn't need to be too big, and its sealing and isolation are absolutely excellent, so that ordinary scanning methods simply cannot detect that it contains a star core.

If the person in charge of the ritual is an acquaintance, it is easier to get away with it.

So Danlei spoke directly to the guard at the door.
"Go and bring over the guy who's in charge of placing the Vidyadhara Egg."

Even if he's dead, send his body over.

Dan Lei's statement about sending the body over was not unfounded; in the game, Huanxi committed suicide after her identity as an assassin was exposed.

These Dragon Masters are no different from their die-hard followers and suicide soldiers.

Sure enough, a dozen minutes later, the guard returned with the corpse of a female Vidyadhara.

According to the guards, she had already committed suicide by poisoning herself when they arrived at her house.

However, it is clear that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment after receiving a message from Danlei that he would interrogate her; even though she was in the water, her body is still warm.

Upon seeing this, Dan Lei immediately used his double-handed technique to read the memory without saying a word.

Unfortunately, after the incident involving the Medicine King's secret teachings, the Dragon Masters learned their lesson.

They knew that Danlei had the ability to read memories, so the female corpse had no memories left in her mind.

Clearly, this was not the work of the Dragon Master, but rather the power of Suiyang.

Before she died, the woman had Suiyang devour all her memories. After she died, Suiyang left her body and escaped, leaving only a trace of energy residue.

However, the Dragon Masters underestimated Dan Lei.

If they had used other methods to solve the memory problem, that would have been fine, but using Suiyang? That's practically handing Danlei a gun.

Since the woman had just died, Suiyang couldn't have gone far, so Danlei immediately used his mental power to scan the Chiming residence indiscriminately.

Under Dan Lei's perception, Sui Yang's special energy was like a beacon in the darkness. Then, Dan Lei discovered that these Dragon Masters were quite bold, daring to play dirty tricks on him.

Because this Suiyang was lurking on the guards that Danlei had sent out.

Clearly, Dan Lei picked someone at random, and it turned out to be one of Long Shi's people.

No wonder this woman committed suicide so quickly.

So Danlei stopped pretending and knocked the guard unconscious with a single punch.

Then, he activated the Spirit Binding Technique, pulling Suiyang out of the guard's body and binding him to his hands.

Then, skillfully separating its memory and energy, the energy was directly fed to the [Fire Emperor] source fire, and the memory was handed over to the crow without being read.

After reading the message, Dan Lei asked...
"So, are the memories inside enough to identify the culprit?"

The crow nodded and then shook its head, saying...

"Having captured enough, the order to send the star core into the Jianmu Mystic Root Grotto Heaven was issued through an unofficial secret command."

However, in her memory, she was loyal to the Dragon Master Council, but she didn't know which Dragon Master specifically.

She was just a low-level worker.

So, her memory is compelling enough, but not enough to convict her.

Unless you agree to have your soul searched by the Dragon Masters.

Directly searching the soul of the Dragon Master? Dan Lei said he wouldn't dare to do that casually.

So he said to He Tian, ​​the captain of the relatively neutral Haiyue Team 1.

"He Tian, ​​you lead the team to invite the Dragon Masters who haven't come yet, and just tell them the situation here."

I believe that with the Dragon Masters' sense of responsibility, any illness can be cured instantly; even if they break a leg, they'll crawl back.

　As the waves subsided and old grudges faded, Tao Ran admitted that sending the star core into Jianmu was their doing.

　　Ling Sha: So the appearance of the Medicine King's Secret Transmission and the Great Lord of Annihilation in the Pill Cauldron Department, causing chaos in the Pill Cauldron Department, introducing the Star Core, and causing the Jianmu to be reborn are also inseparable from Chi Ming?

　　Tao Ran: Not bad.
