Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

The sign on its paw is displayed like this.

I hate old women.

I won't make the same mistake twice.

"..." Watching the bipedal earth beast move about as if it were no one else was there, attacking the assassins around it, Aglaia made no further move.

He simply remained dumbfounded.

"Aglaia—!!" Losing her balance and flying away, Katniss glared with a vicious look and threw a golden dagger at Aglaia's chest.

You will eventually pay the price for your recklessness!

"Buzz—!!" The earth beast roared in fury, shattering the table beneath its feet, sending the earthenware bowl containing the hot porridge flying out.

‘Bangdang——’

Finally, the ceramic bowl landed in front of Agrea, colliding with the flying golden dagger, sending shards of ceramic flying...

Hearing the riots around her, Aglaia felt somewhat dazed.

There was a long silence...

She raised her hand, hesitated, wiped some of the porridge water off her face, and gently put it into her lips.

is sweet.

The assassin's dagger stabbed at the earth beast, but it couldn't even penetrate its scales and was kicked away.

"Lady Katniss has been killed! What should we do?!" an assassin asked in alarm.

"Retreat first! It seems Aglaia has truly lost her humanity. We need to devise a new plan!"

"Retreat immediately!!"

Ten minutes later, both the golden bath and the main pool below were tinged with a red glow.

Looking at the earth beast that was gradually calming down, Aglaia slowly raised her head.

This was the first time she had used the golden thread to sense the thoughts of the earth beast before her.

After a moment, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It was you..."

……

the other side.

The location of the train crash in the abyss of fate.

Dan Heng frowned as he looked at the assassins before him.

"You're neither responding to provocations nor seemingly planning to use force. What are you waiting for?"

Lai Gushi crossed his arms and said, "Put pressure on. Create unease. Implant anxiety."

"It seems that this is the strategy they have chosen."

"Hmm?" Realizing that the other party's intention did not seem to be to kill him, Dan Heng fell into deep thought.

"An organization whose mission is to annihilate the Golden Generation..."

“Someone once told me that the Cleansers would use alchemy to impose fragments of memory onto their successors, thus perpetuating [identity] and [hatred]…”

Chapter 1440 People are angry

Lai Gushi nodded and said calmly:

"As far as I know, this is true."

"The Katniss we know is, strictly speaking, the twenty-seventh Katniss in history."

"Objectively speaking, the emergence of the purgers is inevitable and necessary."

"But their vicious and cruel methods were despised by everyone, and thus they were condemned by history books."

Dan Heng frowned as he looked at the assassins before him.

"But they have continued as an organization to this day, and are even trying to hinder the fire-chasing movement."

"Yes," Lai Gushi commented.

Even in the midst of a turbulent apocalypse, there are always people who can benefit from adversity.

"To get those who have already benefited to abandon their worldly status, wealth, and ambitions for a distant ideal—that may be no easier than a journey to the fire."

Before the Citizens' Assembly, the Senate possessed extremely high rights and privileges.

Although Aglaia still makes the decisions on major matters, the opinions of the elders can also influence the decisions of the Golden Clan.

But now... the elders on the inspection list have lost their original rights.

They went from being high-ranking figures to being like rats that could only hide in the shadows, afraid to show their faces.

The only way to change this is to eliminate the Golden Clan.

As long as the Golden Clan disappears, they will still be the backbone of the citizens and once again embrace that sweet power of life and death.

"...If I'm being targeted, it means Yan Huan also has assassins."

"Hopefully those purgers can be sent to prison alive."

Whether it's the nameless guest or the golden descendant, they have given countless opportunities to the opposition elders.

Whether you change their thoughts or kill them outright, you can make these people disappear on the spot.

But out of humanitarianism and compassion, they never did so.

"Lord Danheng...are you alright?"

Not far away, Clatrus arrived with a group of guards.

"Damn it, I knew these purgers would target you too!"

"Clatrus?" Dan Heng was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Holy City's garrison came all the way to rescue him.

"We've finally found you, Lord Danheng." Kratrus looked at the assassins with a wary expression.

"Seeing that you weren't in the Holy City, I'm sure you've also met with misfortune."

"Lord Danheng, please rest first. We'll take care of these guys!"

The hale and hearty old man looked at the group of sinister assassins, drew his weapon, and said in a deep voice:

"You insects crawling in the shadows, step back! This conspiracy ends here!"

"You have successfully carried out your evil plan. Scatter and flee as soon as possible, and you may still have a chance to survive."

"But you chose to stay here. Even if you are taken to Ohmma alive, the angry mob will tear you to pieces!"

"?" Dan Heng didn't quite understand.

"Clatrus... what is the deeper meaning of 'the angry mob'?"

"Alas, Lord Danheng, Lady Tibo will explain to you later." Clatrus shook his head slightly, then angrily rebuked the assassins:

"Lady Aglaia has been assassinated!"

"But in the eyes of the citizens of the Holy City, you are the murderers who killed her!"

……

the other side.

Shenwu Tree Courtyard.

Yan Huan stood to the side, paying attention to her phone messages. She couldn't help but look up and glance at Bai E.

At this moment, Bai E wielded his sword without mercy, and all the assassins within his sight became his targets.

With each strike, blood flowed freely, as if mercilessly slashing at the creations of the Black Tide.

"Ha..." The heavily wounded captain of the cleansers clutched his chest and said weakly:

"It seems she has some misjudgment of you."

"She...?" Bai E stopped, his gaze sharp. "Are you referring to your mastermind?"

"Heh." The Cleaners captain's expression was sinister. "She thinks you're weak."

"She believes that even when facing the evil you firmly believe in, you will still hesitate when you swing your sword."

Bai E said in a deep voice:

"To mistake kindness for weakness, it seems your master is both arrogant and foolish."

"You attacked Aglaia in the Marble Palace, do you really expect the Golden Blood to forgive you?!"

"It's been too long since I've pointed my sword at a human being, so I can't guarantee I can control the force of my swing."

"If you manage to survive, consider it good luck...!"

"Huh?" The Cleaners captain was shocked.

"How...how did you know about our plan?"

"It was done so discreetly..."

Yan Huan shook her phone and said helplessly:

"What era are you living in? Don't you know there's internet now?"

"Isn't the Ten Thousand Veils Net only usable within the Holy City?!" The Cleansers captain's eyes widened.

This is the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden; it never had golden threads before.

"How naive." Bai E stepped forward, sword in hand, his gaze fierce.

"Times have changed. The Golden Descendants will no longer lag behind others in intelligence."

"Your master is dead. If you want to stop the Fire Chasing Journey, you'd better assemble an army even more powerful than the mighty Suspended Army at its peak."
