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

Chapter 242 Fortune Turns, Dan Heng Helps the Dragon Masters Shed Their Scales

Dan Lei blamed all the problems with Mirror Flow and Blade Escape on Demon Yin Body, and Dan Heng naturally had no objection.

After all, he didn't know how exaggerated the demonic body of the blade was, and he still felt lingering fear when he thought about it.

However, the same sentence can elicit completely different reactions from different people.

When Ren heard that Dan Lei had shifted the blame to Mo Yinshen, he immediately thought to himself, "Doesn't that mean I can go berserk in broad daylight?"

Moreover, those three dragon masters have already been released; it's time to get serious.

So Ren unleashed his true nature, shouting at Dan Heng, "Yin Yue! Die!!" and then charged straight at Dan Heng with his sword.

Dan Heng said he was familiar with this scene. Before he boarded the Starry Sky Train, Ren had been chasing him all the way, and he said this every time they met.

Therefore, Dan Heng reflexively drew his Cloud-Striking Spear and parried the blade's fragmented sword.

At this moment, Ren held nothing back, but Dan Heng, still mindful of their past camaraderie, didn't parry with all his might.

Therefore, Dan Heng was directly cut back dozens of meters by the blade.

Moreover, the collision of their destinies created a massive shockwave in the water, sending all the surrounding soldiers and guardians flying. Even Xueyi could only cling to a rock to keep her balance.

Upon seeing this, Dan Lei immediately gave the order.
"Xueyi, take the martial arts instructors and the guardians away from here. High-level Destiny Walkers are fighting underwater, and the aftershocks from the underwater tremors are something you cannot withstand."

After saying that, Dan Lei summoned the Zhuxian Sword from the sword box, and after the blessing of the Hunting Fate Path, he slashed at Jing Liu.

Jing Liu understood Dan Lei's meaning, and deliberately clashed head-on with Dan Lei by covering the Destruction Fate Path with the Ice Sword.

Then, the point of impact between the two exploded instantly like a nuclear bomb, with shockwaves carrying ice shards crackling with lightning that ripped through the water.

Dan Lei and Jing Liu's attack was far more ruthless than Ren and Dan Heng's.

In other words, the soldiers and the guardians of the pearl were already far away when they faced the previous shockwave. If they were still nearby, as long as they touched any piece of ice, not to mention the problem of it penetrating their bodies, the lightning on it could turn them all into roasted fish.

However, even though they were already far away, the shockwave that reached them still sent them flying again. Their armor was battered and dented by various ice shards, and many of them not only vomited blood on the spot, but were also numb from the residual lightning on the ice shards.

Fortunately, Dan Lei and Jing Liu had a good grasp of the power of their moves. Although the martial arts officers and guardians were coughing up blood, they were all only slightly injured. With the medical capabilities of the Immortal Ship, they would recover in a few days.

Those who were truly unlucky were actually the ones closest to it.

Let's start with Dan Heng and Ren, who were relatively less affected. They were directly thrown out of the water by the shockwaves from Dan Lei and Jing Liu.

Fortunately, Dan Heng was protected by the power of destiny, and because he had been knocked back by the blade earlier, the distance was relatively far.

Moreover, at this moment, Ren only had eyes for Dan Heng. When the shockwave arrived, he was busy trying to cut Dan Heng a few more times, but ended up becoming Dan Heng's human shield.

So although Danheng was shaken out of the water, his life-protection was not broken; he only suffered some impact damage.

As for Blade, this shockwave nearly killed him, leaving his back riddled with holes from ice shards and marks from lightning strikes.

However, given his recovery ability, he'll be back to normal in less than ten seconds, so there's no need to worry about him.

Next, we'll talk about the Rakshasa and the three Dragon Masters behind Mirror Flow.

Luocha was a shrewd man. When Danlei raised his sword to strike, he immediately realized what Danlei and Jingliu were up to.

Without saying a word, he retreated back to the secluded prison cave.

So he managed to dodge the subsequent shockwaves. The shockwaves in the water lost their power after entering the Netherworld Prison Cave due to the change in medium.

However, large amounts of ice shards containing lightning still shot out of the water like shotgun pellets.

In fact, with Rakshasa's strength, these ice shards could not harm him.

However, his purpose in coming here was to be captured, so he deliberately let himself be hit by an ice shard on his right shoulder and left leg, showing symptoms of being electrocuted all over his body, and collapsed to the ground. In the end, he was captured by the Jurchens who came to the prison later.

As for the three Dragon Masters...

They saw the blade and charged towards Danheng, intending to follow suit.

The shockwave from their collision sent them all flying back.

Then, before the three of them could recover, the collision between Dan Lei and Jing Liu happened almost right in front of them.

The result can be imagined.

Dozens of transparent holes instantly appeared on the three of them. They were severely injured by the electric shock and were also directly blasted back into the Netherworld Prison by the shockwave.

When the Jin people's soul-reaping envoys prepared to recapture them, their first reaction was to order the underworld messengers in the prison to quickly find a physician.

The three were too badly injured; if the medics hadn't arrived soon, they would have been left with nothing but corpses.

It should be noted that these three individuals committed the grave crime of smuggling the Star Core into the Jianmu Mystic Root Cave, causing the Jianmu to be reborn.

If someone dies without even being tried, everyone in the Luofu Ten Kings Bureau will be held responsible.

It can be said that Danlei and Jingliu's tacit confrontation directly achieved all their objectives.

The blade was shaken out of the water; if he can't escape now, he shouldn't be a Star Core Hunter.

From now on, I'll just honestly serve my sentence in Luofu Prison, at least I won't be tortured.

Dan Lei didn't even dare to imagine how many biological experiments Blade would have to undergo if he were captured by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

The three Dragon Masters have now reached the point where they cannot survive without reincarnation and rebirth. Dan Lei has achieved his goal.

So, when the shockwave dissipated, Xueyi, who was almost buried in the seabed sand, broke through the soil and saw that Danlei's sword was already at Jingliu's neck.

However, since the act was going to go all the way, Jingliu's sword also pierced Danlei's left waist, most likely cutting off his kidney.

Fortunately, this kind of injury was no problem for Dan Lei. Golden flames spread from his waist and burned fiercely even underwater.

Mirror Flow's ice sword, combined with the flames, melted instantly, and Dan Lei's wound on his waist healed at the same time.

If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the surrounding seawater, you would never have guessed that Dan Lei had just suffered a penetrating wound.

However, Dan Lei was still acting, speaking to Jing Liu in a deep tone.
"Have you vented your anger? Do you want to hit me again?"

Jingliu naturally had no interest in acting with Danlei anymore.

So she didn't say anything, but instead clenched her fists, put her wrists together, and stretched them out to Danlei, indicating that she was surrendering.

Seeing this, Dan Lei gave a look to the snowsuit that was covered in tatters.

The latter understood immediately and stepped forward to handcuff Jingliu's wrists.

At this moment, Danheng descended from above again, and the soldiers and the guardians of the pearl gathered together once more.

Seeing that Jingliu had been captured again, Dan Heng said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sorry, Blade ran away, I can't find him."

Dan Lei was not surprised by this result at all, and since it was his own doing, he took the initiative to help Dan Heng save face and changed the subject.

"He's a Star Core Hunter; aside from anything else, he's definitely got a knack for escaping and counter-tracking."

I will reissue the wanted notice for Ren later. As long as he is still in Luofu, he won't be able to escape so easily.

"Alright, let's go to the Dark Prison and see how the remaining four are doing."

After saying that, Dan Lei went straight into the Netherworld Prison.

Once Dan Lei took action, the others naturally followed suit.

Then, everyone saw the Rakshasa being pinned to the ground by the Golden Man's Soul Reaper and the three Dragon Masters who were providing first aid.

Seeing this, Dan Lei feigned concern and walked over to the three dragon masters, glanced at them, and said directly...
"The injuries are too severe; there's no need to save him." Then, Dan Lei turned directly to Dan Heng and said.
"Danheng, you should know the forced molting technique, right?"

These three won't survive; help them shed their scales.

After speaking, Dan Lei directly addressed Xueyi, the highest-ranking official present.
"Xueyi, write this down: the order for Taoran, Xuepu, and Fenghuan to shed their scales was personally issued by Luofu Acting General Yuyang Jun Danlei."

Dan Lei's words meant that he was taking full responsibility for the three of them shedding their scales.

The acting general of Luofu testified that Danlei had the authority to order the Ten Kings.

Yu Yangjun's identity proves that Dan Lei has the right to deal with Tao Ran, Xue Pu, and Feng Huan.

Only when these two identities are combined can the Ten Kings have no right to interfere with Dan Lei's handling of Tao Ran, Xue Pu, and Feng Huan.

However, Dan Heng stepped forward and whispered to Dan Lei...
"Are you sure you're not going to do this? The league will definitely hold you accountable."

Dan Lei simply smiled and said...
"It's nothing. At most, they'll give me a verbal reprimand and then remove me from my position as acting general."

I never intended to be this lousy acting general.

As we Vidyadharas die, we lose one less. Although these three are despicable, as long as they are reborn normally, their karmic debts from their past lives can be completely wiped out. There is no need to let them pass away.

Moreover, letting you help them transform is the greatest punishment for them.

Dan Heng inherited Dan Feng's memories, so he naturally knew why Dan Lei did this.

Since Danlei made this decision even knowing the outcome, Danheng decided to support him.

So Danheng walked up to the nearest Feng Huan and began to help him shed his scales.

Just as Dan Lei said, having Dan Heng help these three shed their scales was the greatest torture for them.

As dragon masters who survived from the Danfeng era to the present, Xuepu and Fenghuan painstakingly tried to seize the power of the Dragon Lord while Danfeng made a grave mistake.

But in the end, they were transformed by Danfeng's reincarnation, which is ironic for their lives.

So when Feng Huan saw that Dan Heng had already begun to help him shed his scales, and looking at Dan Lei in the distance, he used his last strength to say...
"Danlei, I won't thank you!!"

Dan Lei laughed at Feng Huan's last words.

"I don't need your gratitude. Just be a peaceful and ordinary practitioner in your next life."

I don't know if Feng Huan heard what Dan Lei said.

Because at this moment he had already transformed into a Vidyadhara egg.

After helping Feng Huan shed his scales, Dan Heng remained silent, walked up to Xue Pu, and began shedding his scales again.

Xuepu was better than Fenghuan; at least he admitted his defeat, left no last words, silently closed his eyes, and transformed into the Wisdom Egg.

The last one to shed his scales was Tao Ran. His hatred for Dan Feng was not because of power, but because he hated that Dan Feng made things worse for Luofu Chiming, which was already slowly dying.

So, when Dan Heng approached him, the dying man mistook Dan Heng for Dan Feng, and then, from who knows where, he mustered his strength and shouted loudly...

"Danfeng! You sinner! I don't want you to drag me to my doom!"

Without you, that clueless little girl Bailu wouldn't have appeared, and the legacy of Luofu Chiming could have been passed on to a more suitable person.

When Danlei appears, our Luofu Chiming clan will be able to ascend to the top!
You ruined all of this! It's all your fault!!!

Dan Heng looked at Tao Ran, who was spitting blood and spouting incoherent nonsense, and sighed deeply.

However, when Dan Heng helped it shed its scales, he whispered...

"Danfeng actually regretted his actions while he was in the prison."

However, the Dragon Master Council's desire to control the Luo Fu Dragon Lord's legacy is something Dan Feng cannot accept.

So, stop clinging to it, just go.

The madman Tao Ran clearly heard Dan Heng's words. He snorted disdainfully, then turned his head away and said nothing more.

After Tao Ran also transformed into a Vidyadhara egg, Dan Lei spoke to the three Vidyadhara eggs.
"Alright, after shedding your scales and being reborn, the future and the past are all dust."

I will personally place you into the Scaled Abyss Realm. Only I know your future locations, so that your comrades will not disturb your rest.

After saying that, Danlei turned to Xueyi and said...
"Xueyi, imprison Jingliu and the foreign merchant Luosha according to the standards of the Ten Heinous Crimes, and await General Jingyuan's judgment."

After this matter is resolved, he will soon return to his position as general.

After Dan Lei finished speaking, he took the three Wisdom Eggs and went to the Scale Abyss Realm alone. He swapped places with the original Wisdom Eggs inside several times before leaving.

Afterwards, Danlei took Danheng to the Chiming residence.

After gathering the Dragon Masters, Dan Lei publicly announced the final fates of Tao Ran, Xue Pu, and Feng Huan.

At the same time, Dan Lei informed the Dragon Master Council that Dan Heng would hand over the Yin Yue Jun secret technique to Bai Lu, and warned everyone that if anyone tried to cause trouble, he would punish them for the serious crime of attempting to sever the Dragon Lord's lineage.

At this time, Dan Lei was the sole ruler in Luofu Chiming, and the Dragon Master Council dared not cause any trouble, so they could only agree to grant Dan Heng unlimited access to Bai Lu.

After Bai Lu finished arranging things on her side, Dan Lei took a bunch of tonics and went to Dan Ding Si to visit Jing Yuan again.

When Jing Yuan saw Dan Lei bring so many things, a bad premonition rushed to his head. Before Dan Lei could speak, he said...
"Danlei, what do you mean by this?"
"Giving me so many tonics, are you planning to make me a beast of burden or a horse?"

In response to Jing Yuan's question, Dan Lei simply smiled and replied...

"Jingyuan, you're hurting our feelings by saying that."

I couldn't just be worried about your health and want you to take some supplements so you can recover sooner.

Dan Lei felt that he had spoken very sincerely, but Jing Yuan didn't believe a word he said.

Jing Yuan directly questioned

"But the medicine you brought is all for nourishing the body. My body isn't injured at all; it's my spirit and soul that are injured!"

Seeing that Jing Yuan wasn't falling for it, Dan Lei stopped pretending, put down the gifts, and sat down beside his bed, saying...

"Tch, you're not funny at all."

Don't worry, I wouldn't be incompetent enough to make you work like a slave; it's the alliance that wants you to be their slave.

After speaking, Dan Lei recounted everything that had happened in the Prison of Evil, not even concealing the details of his prior conspiracy with Jing Liu.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan felt as if his spirit had been struck by another blow.

However, this critical hit was delivered by Jingliu and Danlei together.

My master actually went to such lengths just to see the marshal and all the generals at the same time.

Dan Lei also took the opportunity to abuse his power and exonerate three serious criminals.

Both are incredibly messy situations, and you'll have to clean them up yourself in the end.

The key point is that I've only had a few days of peace and quiet, and now I'm going back to being a general.

Unable to withstand this mental blow, Jing Yuan fainted on the spot.

Dan Lei, however, said without any sympathy
"By the way, I don't dump everything on you."

"The Black Tower should be arriving soon. I'll handle her reception, so you don't need to worry about it."
