Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Chapter 293 I hate spies the most.

"Everyone."

The captain of the Cloud Cavalry stepped forward to greet them:

"After the Taibu team set up camp here, they led scouts to investigate ahead. It is said that the secret teachings of the Medicine King, which have been hidden for many years, have appeared nearby, and the team is in a state of panic..."

"Fortunately, everyone has arrived. The Grand Diviner said that the Cloud Cavalry cannot proceed without your presence!"

On March 7th, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up:

"Haha, Fu Xuan must have foreseen the danger ahead and was waiting for us here on purpose!"

"That's our guess too," Yunqi replied. "Please wait in the formation, and we'll make a decision once the Grand Diviner returns."

After the Cloud Riders left to attend to other matters, Walter spoke:

"The Cloud Cavalry is stationed here and has stopped advancing. It seems that the situation is not optimistic."

Tingyun smiled:

"Well then, my benefactors, why don't you look around first? I'll find a place to rest."

"Okay, everyone, let's take a short break."

The group silently dispersed, leaving only March 7th still in the same spot.

"Um... what should I do?"

She first glanced in the direction Yan Huan had left.

The latter directly found a guy in a green robe and started chatting. After only a few words, the woman in the green robe struggled and was taken away by the cloud riders.

Yan was also taken in for a talk.

"?" March 7th looked completely bewildered.

"That green robe... must be a pill refiner from the Pill Refining Department? Wait, was the one Yan Huan just spoke to also a disciple of the Medicine King's secret lineage?!"

She then looked at the other people.

Tingyun gripped his longsword, stood in the center of the safe zone, and looked up at the enormous tree in front of him.

The tree's leaves are turning yellow, but its branches look very majestic.

It resembles the scenery within the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司).

On March 7th, he looked at Dan Shu again.

The latter sat quietly in the corner, her face veiled, seemingly lost in thought.

"Dan Shu is so quiet... It must be because so many of his alchemists have betrayed him, so he's heartbroken."

Finally, March 7th's gaze fell on Walter, who was not far away.

He was talking to the Cloud Riders.

"Uncle Yang is really reliable; even at a time like this, he doesn't forget to gather information."

Seeing such a role model, March 7, a super beautiful girl from the Starry Sky Train, also started wandering around, hoping to find some useful information.

“Just a little bit more…just a little bit more…!” In the corner, a Cloud Rider trembling with his head in his hands caught March Seven’s attention.

"?"

This scene seems familiar?

For safety's sake, March 7th did not get too close, but simply listened silently to the Cloud Rider's mutterings.

"...Old people who have served for three hundred years have all turned into...those inhuman, ghostly figures! Just a little bit more...just a little bit more and I..."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, March 7th started walking again and wandered off in other directions.

Then they encountered another Cloud Rider wielding a weapon, who stood there muttering, "The Medicine King's Secret Technique, who knew the enemy was actually the Medicine King's Secret Technique...! Alas, it seems that the Grand Diviner was afraid of alerting the enemy, which is why he kept it a secret from us."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the voice of the Cloud Rider, March 7th was momentarily stunned.

what happened?

Could it be that these Cloud Cavalry were unaware that a large number of alchemists in the Pill Cauldron Division had defected to the Medicine King's Secret Sect?

"Wait... how did I know that again?"

March 7th scratched his head, recalling the speculations between Yan and Fu Xuan about the traitor in the Shence Mansion.

It seems that ever since then, I have been hearing Yan keep saying that there must be spies in the Dan Ding Division.

Later, when they arrived at the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) and saw the alchemists who had become the secret disciples of the Medicine King, they were not too surprised, but rather found it quite reasonable.

But Fu Xuan's side... doesn't seem to have told the Cloud Cauldrons that there might be a large number of spies among the alchemists, like Yan did.

After thinking it over, March 7th changed direction and strolled over there.

Another tense sound came from ahead:

"This is different from the battles we've fought before! Captain, this time even your own comrades could be enemies..."

The Cloud Rider captain spoke in a calm tone:

"What to do when a comrade falls into the demonic body is something that every Cloud Rider knows. Don't forget the training you received."

"But...but this shouldn't be! We're not old enough yet, not old enough for the demonic possession to manifest..."

The Cloud Cavalry captain then said earnestly:

"I read about this in the 'Cloud Cavalry Martial Classic': anyone who comes into contact with the plague of the Longevity Plague will instantly fall into demonic darkness... But I never expected that the Pill Cauldron Division would have so many secret teachings of the Medicine King."

The cloud knight's voice trembled slightly:

"I...I...I don't know how many people will be left in our team..."

Listening to their conversation, March 7th already had a vague answer in his heart.

When they first entered the Dan Ding Division, the Medicine King secretly instructed them to 'transform' the Cloud Riders.

Even though they are not old enough, they will immediately fall into the demonic body.

It's possible that some Cloud Riders themselves don't even know if they've been secretly transformed, let alone whether their teammates have also been affected... suddenly turning into demonic beings in the rear and then suddenly attacking people.

"Ugh, this is really frustrating."

March 7th sighed softly and continued on its way.

Not far away, two Cloud Riders were guarding a demonic yin-body monster.

The monster made a hoarse sound:

"I...I saw myself become thunder, I saw myself become a storm...! The smoke in the alchemy furnace...I smelled the future!"

"The flesh and blood purge cannot hold me... Transformed into a black deer, I see branches and leaves stretching out to cover the sky, and I will transform once more...!"

Seeing that March 7th looked dazed, the guard Yunqi explained, "We captured several demons who were the secret disciples of the Medicine King. Some of them have gone mad, and he is the one who has gone completely mad."

On March 7th, it was clearly seen that the demonic alchemist's eyes were unfocused, with each pupil looking in a different direction, as if they were simultaneously seeing the two ends of a forked path.

"..."

She nodded slightly, said a heavy "Keep it up," and then walked in another direction.

Now, on March 7th, she finally understood why the Shence Mansion had sent her and Yan Huan to infiltrate Changletian.

The internal troubles revealed by the Medicine King's secret teachings far outweigh the external threats.

After walking a few steps, March 7th heard a sound coming from the roadside again.

It was a dejected Cloud Rider, sitting on the ground, talking to himself.

"terrible……"

"At that moment, all I felt was... enemies all around me. My mind was filled with hatred, and I wanted to fight my way out alone..."

Upon hearing this, March 7th swallowed hard and immediately took a step back.

What this Cloud Rider is saying... seems like he's fallen into demonic possession.

Sure enough, as expected.

Soon, four Cloud Riders arrived.

"Girl, get away from this guy!"

"Let's do it."

March nodded blankly, then quickly stepped back.

"Whoa whoa."

Seeing the dejected Cloud Rider being helped away, March 7th felt a pang of sadness.

These guys who share the secrets of the Medicine King are really wicked.

Suddenly, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened immediately.

far away.

A man with long black hair and golden eyes was quickly handcuffed by several Cloud Riders and silently taken away.

"???"

Chapter 294 I'm sorry for being born.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you arresting him?!" March 7th hurriedly ran forward and grabbed Yan's clothes.

"Hmm?" The two Cloud Riders escorting Yan quickly turned around and explained:

"Here's the thing."
