Give Star Iron a little MC shock

After a moment of self-deprecation, Fu Xuan looked at Xing He and the others again and asked, "So, did you come here today to have me deduce the whereabouts of the Star Core Hunter and Huanlong?"

March 7th was somewhat surprised: "You know that?"

"That's natural!"

Fu Xuan raised his head with a touch of arrogance and crossed his arms: "I can deduce all things under heaven. I can guess your intentions without even having to count them."

After saying that, Fu Xuan turned around and looked up again at the sphere floating above the Qiong Guan Formation.

"Then, I will perform a divination. You may all wait patiently on the sidelines."

March 7th nodded, and Xinxi huddled close to Xing He and whispered, "As expected of the leader of the Taibu Division, their efficiency is really high! We don't even need to explain the situation to her!"

Xing He shrugged: "After all, he's a diviner."

Everyone stood still and waited for a moment, when Fu Xuan, who had been concentrating on divination, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Walter quickly asked, "Did the diviner foresee something?"

Fu Xuan frowned and turned around, his right fist pressed against his mouth: "I did indeed divine some things, such as the fact that there is currently a Xinghe hunter near the Taibu Si!"

"what?!"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this news. The Star Core Hunter should know what Tabusi represents, yet he still dared to come near Tabusi.

Xing He immediately unfolded the mini-map and observed it for a while after zooming in. He immediately noticed a marker hovering near Taipusi.

[Star Core Hunter - Kafka]

"Uncle Yang!"

After confirming Kafka's location, Xing He immediately turned to look at Walter.

Valte nodded and said to Fu Xuan in a deep voice, "Thank you for your help, Taibu. We'll go and capture that Star Core Hunter now."

After saying that, Walter led March 7 and Xing He out of the Taipusi, while Tingyun, who was not good at fighting, was left in the safe Taipusi.

After Xing He and the other two left, Ting Yun noticed that Fu Xuan was still frowning and deep in thought, so she asked him curiously.

"Lord Fu Xuan? Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Fu Xuan shook his head, but his furrowed brows remained furrowed: "I'm just a little confused. According to the divination, that Star Core Hunter will be captured easily. After she's brought to the Grand Diviner's Office, I'll interrogate her using the Exhaustive Observation Formation. But the divination indicates that I'll be shocked by the outcome of the interrogation. It's really strange..."

"Could it be because the things the Star Core Hunters are plotting behind the scenes are too horrifying, which is why Lord Fu Xuan is so surprised?"

"Perhaps... We'll know once Xing He and the others capture the Star Core Hunters."

--------------------------

Outside the Tabushi, with the help of the mini-map, Xing He and his two companions quickly found Kafka admiring the lotus flowers in front of a pond.

Kafka heard footsteps behind her, turned around with her hands behind her back, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Xing He.

"Hey, we meet again. Are you here to arrest me this time?"

Xing He immediately drew his Flame Spear, ready to parry Kafka's shots: "No matter what, I'm here to capture you."

Kafka nodded slightly, and then suddenly threw out several grenades with her right hand behind her back, the grappling hooks twirling on her fingers.

"Then you'd better hurry up!"

As soon as Kafka finished speaking, the grenade she threw exploded with a bang. Fortunately, Xing He blocked it with his Flame Gun in time, and the three of them were not injured.

However, after detonating the grenade, Kafka turned and ran away, and Xing He and the other two hurriedly chased after her.

March 7th couldn't help but complain as she watched Kafka leading the three of them on various detours.

"What on earth is she doing here?! She's been leading us around aimlessly!"

Walter adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Once we capture her, we'll know her purpose!"

As Kafka led the three through a large gate, a group of Cloud Cavalry on routine patrol approached them.

Just as March 7th was about to ask the Cloud Cavalry to help stop Kafka, Kafka suddenly spoke to the Cloud Cavalry.

“[Listen to me], you’ve discovered that the three people behind you are Gang, a wanted thief. You need to arrest them.”

Originally, the Cloud Cavalry were planning to help Xing He and his two companions when they saw them chasing each other. However, when they heard Kafka's voice, the Cloud Cavalry suddenly changed their tune and rushed towards Xing He and his group, even making way for Kafka.

"Words of power?"

Walter immediately understood and explained to the two children, "Kafka's Word of Power can bewitch others, so be careful not to hurt these Cloud Cavalry."

"give it to me."

On March 7th, he immediately grasped his longbow, drew back the bowstring, and fired several arrows at the Cloud Cavalry. The icy arrows struck the Cloud Cavalry, instantly exploding into a cloud of icy mist that froze their lower bodies firmly in the ice.

Seeing this, Xing He silently closed the backpack interface he had just opened. March 7's move saved him the trouble of putting down several wooden boats.

Walter was slightly surprised to see how easily the Cloud Cavalry had been frozen on March 7th.

"Little March, your power has increased."

March 7th chuckled and patted the longbow in his hand: "After Xing He enchanted my bow, its abilities were enhanced in every way! Uncle Yang, I'm really strong now!"

"I'm really looking forward to your performance next, Little March."

Without the interference of the Cloud Cavalry, Xing He and his two companions quickly caught up with Kafka again. This time, Kafka did not run away. Instead, she took out two submachine guns, aimed them at Xing He and his companions, and began firing at them without saying a word.

Xing He immediately held the Flame Spear horizontally in front of him, and bullets poured towards them. Although some bullets were not aimed at the Flame Spear, they suddenly disappeared just before passing through its protection.

Kafka smiled with delight at the sight: "It seems you've gained quite a bit from your trip with Ariello."

"The same goes for Luofu."

Taking advantage of Kafka's reloading, Xing He immediately charged towards her with his Flame Gun. Just as Xing He was about to attack, Kafka suddenly dropped her two guns and raised her hands high.

"surrender."

Kafka's sudden action surprised Xing He, who stopped what he was doing. However, just to be on the safe side, he put down the wooden boat and surrounded Kafka.

Kafka, however, stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at the wooden boats on the ground like a curious child.

"Is this the wooden boat you used to trap Ren?"

After saying that, Kafka took the initiative to sit on the wooden boat. Her obedient behavior surprised Walter and March 7.

March 7th frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yang, could this wicked woman be up to something? She actually obediently sat in Xing He's wooden boat."

Walter also frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, but Xinghe's wooden boat is definitely not something she can break free from. Take her back to the Taibu Temple and let the Taibu help interrogate her to find out her true purpose."

Sitting in the wooden boat, Kafka urged Xing He with expectant eyes, "Take me back to Taipusi quickly."

Xing He was somewhat bewildered; this was the first time he had ever seen an enemy so eager to be captured.

However, even though Kafka's hands were not restrained, Xing He was not afraid of him.

With a full set of diamond armor providing protection level 4, plus the damage reduction from the Flame Lance, even if Kafka attacks while he's rowing, she'll be able to hold out for a long time.

As Xing He boarded the wooden boat and rowed towards Tabusi, Kafka did not take advantage of Xing He's back being turned to her. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying the rare tranquility of the moment.

"It's been so long since I've felt like this. I'm so glad to see you here again."

Kafka's gentle voice came from behind Xing He, which puzzled him.

Is Kafka really an enemy?

It doesn't look like it at all.

March 7th, who was following nearby, kept a wary eye on Kafka and reminded Xing He, "Xing He! Don't let yourself be fooled by that pretty older sister again! We're still here!"

Kafka covered her mouth and chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment~"

March 7th pouted: "Nobody's praising you!"

The group returned to Taibusi without incident. The moment Fu Xuan saw Kafka being captured, he raised his finger and pointed it at her. A phantom energy landed on Kafka's hands, forming an energy shackle that tightly bound her hands.

After doing all this, Fu Xuan nodded to Xing He: "You can put her down now."

Xing He dismantled the wooden boat, and Kafka stood up again, but glanced at the wooden boat that Xing He had put away with some reluctance.

"Kafka, this is Tabushi. Is it really okay for you to be so relaxed? Aren't you afraid I'll read your memories?"

Seeing that Kafka was clearly captured but acted so leisurely, Fu Xuan felt a little annoyed and became more vigilant.

Kafka smiled and looked down at Fu Xuan: "I've long heard how powerful the Taibusi's Qiongguan Formation is. I wonder if I'll have the chance to experience it today?"

"Hmph! That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Fu Xuan activated the Qiong Guan Formation with a flick of his fingers, and a halo of light suddenly appeared beneath Kafka's feet, sweeping over her from bottom to top. Then, she floated uncontrollably in mid-air.

Fu Xuan squinted, accepting the confidence feedback from the Qiong Guan Array.

A moment later, Fu Xuan suddenly stopped what he was doing in surprise and looked at Kafka in astonishment, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"You Star Core Hunters deliberately exposed yourselves to Luo Fu's sight for something like this?!"

Kafka tilted her head and looked at Fu Xuan with a smile: "So, Lord Fu Xuan, do you like this answer?"

Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "You bastard!"

Seeing that Fu Xuan was angry, Walter quickly asked what was wrong.

"Fu Xuan Taibu, may I ask what happened? What exactly is the Star Core Hunter's purpose?"

Fu Xuan took a deep breath and relayed the information that the Qiong Guan Array had just provided.

"According to the information fed back from the Qiong Guan Array, Kafka has only two purposes for appearing here. First, to buy time for Huanlong; and second, to make Luofu owe everyone on the Starry Sky Train a huge favor!"

"What?"×3

Xing He and the other two looked at Kafka with surprise, her face beaming with a smile.

Walter frowned: "Why would you Star Core Hunters go to such lengths? What good does it do you Star Core Hunters to make Luo Fu owe the Starry Sky Train such a huge favor?"

Kafka lowered her eyes, her smile unchanged: "The Star Core Hunters and the Star Train may travel different paths, but they will both arrive at the same destination. At that time, you will know what we have been doing all this time. As for now... I'm afraid you will soon be too busy to care about me."

Xing He quickly pressed, "What do you mean by that?"
